The Supreme Court Case That Could Hand the House to Republicans

white reactionaries disenfranchising black voters to secure political power? that’s a jim crow. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

When the state erases evidence to prop up their lies, you’re no longer in a free society.

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

I just really, really, really want to watch the next Federalist Society meeting where they have to pretend Jeanine Pirro is a serious, good choice.

TAKE IT FEDERALISTS
THAT’S RIGHT, TAKE IT ALLLLLLLL

NEW: Donald Trump's ban on transgender service members and restrictions to their medical care may take effect, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.

The 6-3 decision, with the liberals dissenting, included no explanation.

A 'beautiful baby girl' doesn't need so many dolls, Trump says. Also: five pencils are enough 'I don't think that a beautiful baby girl needs – that's 11 years old – needs to have 30 dolls,' Trump said, defending his tariffs. Also: five pencils are fine.

Donald Trump — a silver spoon billionaire who's never wanted for anything in his life — says parents should cut back on buying dolls and pencils for their kids to compensate for higher prices from his tariff mess.

This is the Great Betrayal in action.

MORAN: Even some people who voted for you are saying, 'I didn't sign up for this.' So how do you answer those concerns?

TRUMP: Well, they did sign up for it actually

Look, the people who helped the Jews got sent to camps, too, so this stands to reason

The Plan
1) Economic sneak attack on allies and partners.
2) Threaten to invade Danish territory and to annex Canada.
3) Sell out Ukraine to Putin, wreck NATO.
4) Permanent 10% tariff on former friends.
5) Surprise and hurt that nobody wants to help Trump find a face-saving exit

Van Hollen Holds Media Availability at Dulles Upon Return from El Salvador YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night.

Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

First-term Trump was also an economic idiot. He imposed escalating tariffs in first half of 2018, not only on China but on EU and Canada too. Trump bad policy triggered a big stock slump in second half 2018. 1/x

BREAKING: The Trump administration plans to eliminate the IRS' Direct File program, an electronic system for filing your tax returns for free.

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Hearing the same from a direct source. People in Americorps being told they're done. It's over. No notice.

REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison?

HOMAN: Absolutely. And hold tight on that one, because it's coming.

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia?

BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous


TRUMP: These are sick people

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”
