As one does

Federal agents engaged in widespread misrepresentations to justify use of force: Judge The ABC7 I-Team is taking a closer look at a trove of videos ordered released by a federal judge in her explanation of the preliminary injunction she issued earlier this month restricting use of force...

“In nearly all of the examples Judge Ellis cited in her 200-plus page opinion, she says the Department of Homeland Security narrative contradicts the reality of what can be seen on agents' body-worn cameras.”

You're a high ranking government official and you shouldn't make things up.

Your 70% number is just a fabrication.

And it's TOTALLY not true that "every single" person you detained is here illegally. For instance, many were allowed in so they could apply for asylum.

Updates from the 10/30 CBP incident in Evanston:
— The guy arrested after an agent punched/dragged his face on the ground was never given medical attention
— When he told this to an EPD officer later, another agent (who'd aimed his pistol at the crowd) dismissed it by saying "I'm a paramedic"

CNN: Breaking news… this is big, we have learned that the justice department's case against former FBI director Jim Comey and the New York attorney general have both been dismissed

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

28 U.S. Code § 2284 - Three-judge court; when required; composition; procedure

In case you wondered, and I know you did, the Texas redistricting case was before a three-judge panel because that’s what 28 U.S.C. 2284 requires when “an action is filed challenging the constitutionality of the apportionment of congressional districts”

Lest you think Greene has changed her ways, here she is refusing to denounce Nick Fuentes, suggesting Bash have him on her show, and lying about having known him before she appeared at his conference.

Jordan, apart from his 5xMVPs, lead the East in MVP votes 4 time ('87,'88,'93 & '97)
So he would have been 9xMVP if they did it like baseball and had two MVPs each year

ICE is thug trash.

Can we all agree that when a president pardons a guy who was convicted for financing terrorists, and then says he didn't know the guy but "I was told" to pardon him, the follow question MUST be "Who told you to pardon him?" But CBS never asked: who is making decisions in the White House? 1/

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I'm supporting Feeding America! To feed America’s hungry through food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

This is really not how any of this is supposed to work. Remembering how many times I was told "the government should never be picking winners and losers"... from many people who are in today's federal government.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Ohio National Guard member Sgt. Devon Beck was not amused by this satire. On September 11, 2025, Mr. O’Hara saw Sgt. Beck, along with several other Guard members, walking in uniform in the Logan Circle neighborhood, near the intersection of 14th and R Streets NW. Mr. O’Hara calmly walked behind the Guard members, began playing The Imperial March aloud on his phone, and started recording. In less than two minutes, Sgt. Beck turned around and threatened to call D.C. police officers to “handle” Mr. O’Hara if he persisted. Mr. O’Hara continued recording and playing the music. Sgt. Beck contacted the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Defendant MPD Officers Brown, Campbell, Reyes-Benigno, and Lopez Martinez came to the scene and, in essence, did what Sgt. Beck had threatened, putting Mr. O’Hara in handcuffs and preventing him from continuing his peaceful protest.

The DC ACLU is suing on behalf of a man who was arrested by a National Guardsman and MPD officers for playing the Imperial March (from Star Wars) as an act of protest. www.acludc.org/app/uploads/...

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

2 Defendants’ counsel have been advised that Mr. Hott’s final day as Field Office Director ERO for the ICE ERO Chicago Field Office is October 17, 2025. Mr. Hott will no longer be assigned to the Chicago area of responsibility.

On Thursday, Judge Sarah Ellis ordered that the guy in charge of ICE Chicago, Russell Hott, show up for a hearing on Monday bc ICE is violating so many parts of an order she issued last week.

On Friday, DHS decided Hott was no longer overseeing Chicago.

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

roberts thinks it is an affront that a community of upstanding citizens can not do as it chooses when it comes to voting. if that means that they might discriminate against a racial minority, he has no problem with that either as long as it is facially neutral.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.
