“A Nigerian official was told by a U.S. counterpart that, with Thanksgiving coming up, Nigeria should go quiet and wait for the president’s attention to shift, a Nigerian official said.”

Trump may tell Americans — even his own supporters — that they won’t pay the tariffs.

But at the same time, his own lawyers are arguing before the Supreme Court that American businesses and consumers pay the tariffs.

Listen for yourself.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

JUST IN: 11th Circuit politely tells Judge Aileen Cannon to get moving on motions seeking to unseal remainder of Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report. Basically, gives her 60 days to act or appeals court will take further action. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.

He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts.

Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

Go Jack!

The full East Wing of the White House will be torn down as part of the process to build a new ballroom proposed by President Donald Trump, a White House official said on Wednesday reut.rs/4ho1JeR

"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.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

This Is Fascism

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

How Far Does Trump’s Immunity Go? The Supreme Court’s 2024 decision threatens the system of international justice.

As if the Trump immunity decision weren't indefensible enough, @philippesands.bsky.social explains how corrosive it could be w/r/t head-of-state immunity for international law crimes, which the U.S. (Robert Jackson, in particular) worked for decades to eradicate.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

Supreme Court ends restrictions on LA immigration stops set after agents swept up U.S. citizens Justice Sonia Sotomayor says in dissent people have been grabbed, thrown to the ground and handcuffed because of their looks and their accents.

The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for federal agents to conduct sweeping immigration operations in Los Angeles, the latest victory for President Donald Trump’s administration at the high court. https://to.pbs.org/3KbgZ1X

plying local influencers with free food and drinks a week before opening to the public can’t *possibly* be a successful strategy anymore, can it? 🫩

Opinion | The Supreme Court Is Backing Trump’s Power Grab

I'm always blown away by how smoothly @kateshaw.bsky.social can synthesize and communicate her impossibly vast knowledge of the law and court cases with such insight and precision, but even by that standard this convo w @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social is top tier stuff.

Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this?

DOJ: Yes.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news.

As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

China's July 2025 solar production was ~50% higher than its July 2024 solar output!

China's solar generated 839 TWh in 2024 and will likely exceed 1,200 TWh in 2025.

China's solar will generate in 2025 an amount of electricity equal to about 27% of USA's electricity demand. #energysky

The judge points out that the 76 pages of grand jury testimony are a drop in the well compared to the 100,000 documents the government could release.

i’ll make the polyannas angry by asking this: what on earth does control of congress matter with a SCOTUS who has annointed POTUS king? there is no political way out of this crisis.

#Putin getting the welcome he deserves in #Anchorage #Alaska this afternoon.
