The ending of A House of Dynamite leaves many questions unanswered, intentionally. In reality, we won’t have that luxury.

My colleague Isabelle Williams and I pick up where the movie ends, exploring what would unfold in the minutes, hours, and months after the missile hits Chicago.

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

This should make us angry and it should get us to speak out against what is happening all across our country.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

‘The damage is beyond repair’: The CDC faces another round of deep staff cuts | CNN The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suffered another round of deep staff cuts late Friday, with disease detectives, outbreak forecasters, policy and data offices among those impacted, ac...

“The administration did not like that CDC data did not support their narrative, so they got rid of them. They didn’t like that CDC policy groups would not rubber stamp their unscientific ideas, so they got rid of them”.

The damage to the CDC is “beyond repair”.

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

Trump just threatened to impose severe, unprecedented tariffs on Chinese imports. He won’t negotiate with Xi at the upcoming APEC summit, choosing to sink the global economy. The Dow is already down 300 points. This will devastate American small businesses and cause your expenses to skyrocket.

Fourth Rebuke in Eight Days: Pope Leo Intensifies Clash with Trump Over Migrants In his latest rebuke of Trumpism, Pope Leo praises immigrants as “agents of hope” and tells Catholics their faith is tested by how they welcome the stranger.

For the fourth time in eight days, Pope Leo has taken direct aim at Donald Trump's abuse of migrants in the United States.

In a new letter sent to Catholic Charities USA, he calls immigrants to the United States “witnesses of hope” and encourages Catholics to do all we can to welcome them.

Mike Johnson has had the House adjourned for weeks to avoid a vote on the Epstein files.

Is it really too much to ask to simply have House Republicans show up to work once in a while?

CIDRAP Op-Ed: Why the CDC director is wrong about the MMR vaccine

by @jakescottMD

A call to develop separate measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines to replace the combined MMR shot is not backed by evidence. Here are the facts.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

“Over the short period of only the past several months, the Administration has abandoned the American tradition against domestic deployment of the military, embracing instead what the District Court of Oregon described as ‘martial law,’” they wrote. “The Administration has suggested it plans to use United States cities as ‘training grounds’ for the military, turning our troops on the ‘enemy within’ – the very people they have proudly sworn to protect, with their own lives if necessary. Thousands of troops have been deployed in at least five such communities over the objection of local leaders, with the promise of more.”

Nine former service secretaries + retired four-star admirals and generals filed a brief in federal court in Illinois today challenging the administration’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago as a dangerous trend of politicizing the military, and militarizing society. 🔗 bit.ly/48gA25b

- Indicting political rivals
- Suppressing dissent
- Rewriting history

These are all chapters in the authoritarian playbook, and Donald Trump is following them step by step. Now is not the time to stand on the sidelines; it’s time to make your voice heard.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Opinion | Six surgeons general: RFK Jr. is a threat to the health of Americans It was our duty in office to warn of dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

“Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk.”

Six former surgeons general condemn RFK Jr.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Tim Walz: "We're in a massive misinformation campaign. The president himself tweeting out AI videos of fake news reports on healthcare. This is really dangerous. I cannot express to you the concern and absolutely bafflement and fear of our European allies asking me, 'Is this stuff really going on?'"

His tariffs are unconstitutional. His using the military to play cop on our streets is unconstitutional. But we don’t have a Congress right now, and this Supreme Court can’t be trusted to follow the law & the Constitution.

We’re in a very bad place.

Trump summoned the top American military officers stationed around the world to VA to tell them that the enemy they should be primarily concerned with now is American citizens.

To Donald Trump:

Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.

Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.

Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.

Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Donald Trump is an anti-constitutional president who finds new ways every day to violate his oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States"

Here, he tells military leaders they will play a major role in fighting the "war from within" in American cities

Unconscionable

Hegseth & Trump ordered 800 of our top military commanders from all over the world to fly to a Marine Corps base outside of DC and all gather in one room today to listen to unserious, performative shit like this. What a fucking waste of money & time. What a stupid security risk.
