Trump didn't send armed agents to the Chicago area to quell violence. He sent them there to cause violence.

Funny, how the "No Kings" protesters were "elderly white hippies" in August (per Stephen Miller), but are "pro-Hamas terrorists and violent criminals" in October (per Karoline Leavitt).

It's *almost* as if this regime makes its shameless lies up as it goes along . . .

Every single one of these North Carolina politicians voted to shut down the federal government rather than allow the Affordable Care Act to continue operating, which will result in a doubling of everyone's health insurance premiums.

Of course, their healthcare will remain unaffected.

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Donald Trump is plotting to cut Social Security benefits for older Americans — after he promised during the campaign that he wouldn’t touch Social Security.

We must call it out and stop these cuts.

Chart shows Detention Population, Among Those Arrested by ICE in the Interior, by Criminal Record. The chart shows three lines; Prior conviction, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record. From 2019 through September 2025, the largest group is people with criminal convictions, with much further down people with pending charges. But starting in January, those without criminal records spikes dramatically. In July it crossed pending charges and in the latest data it jumps above criminal convictions.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record.

As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Trump’s Plan To Use the State To Crush Dissent Read more here.

A president using the power of the state to punish critics — or to condition basic government services on political fealty — is not merely rough politics. It is aimed at crushing dissent and free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

These are right-wing terror events I covered just from 2017 to 2023. It's not even close to comprehensive. The government's trying to erase this history.

There Will Be Retribution From Marc | Donald Trump will insist on using the powers of the state to attack his political opponents.

When I wrote this in January, people said I was an alarmist. Today, the New York Times reported that “Senior officials in the federal government have taken over a conservative media entity to talk about a crackdown on anti-conservative thought and speech.”

Yes, a crackdown on thought and speech.

I'm hearing "political violence has no place in America" from people who were more than OK with what happened on Jan 6, 2021.

At least 2 students shot at high school in Colorado, authorities say At least two students have been shot at Evergreen High School in Colorado, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence.

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.

40% of Missourians vote for Democrats, and this is the Congressional map the Republicans are pushing for.

The only thing that happened between Thursday-Costa Rica-and Friday-Uganda- was Mr. Abrego's exercise of his legal entitlement to release under the Bail Reform Act and the Fifth Amendment. See United States v. Salerno, 481 U.S. 739, 755 (1987). Indeed, the government has done more than just offer these two options in isolation. On Friday evening, the government informed Mr. Abrego that he has until first thing Monday morning precisely when he must report to ICE's Baltimore Field Office-to accept a plea in exchange for deportation to Costa Rica, or else that offer will be off the table forever. There can be only one interpretation of these events: the DOJ, DHS, and ICE are using their collective powers to force Mr. Abrego to choose between a guilty plea followed by relative safety, or rendition to Uganda, where his safety and liberty would be under threat. Mr. Abrego has previously explained that this case was part of a larger strategy to retaliate caninet him for cholloncina lic /11oacl donnection to D1 Golundo (CooNi+

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s defense team says that the government is attempting to coerce him to plead guilty to his criminal charges.

Per filing, the government promised to deport him to Costa Rica if he pleads guilty — and is now threatening to remove him to Uganda if he doesn’t accept the deal.

No matter what you think about Mr. Abrego Garcia, if you believe in due process you should be infuriated by this.

The Trump admin is threatening to dump him in Africa as punishment for not pleading guilty to criminal charges they brought to avoid complying with a court order.

Hey look. It’s the worst economy since the last time Trump was in office.

Probably just a coincidence

The Rolling Pebbles

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

Also, our standard now is that it had to have caused “concern” for Ghislaine Maxwell to be problematic?? Ummmm…obviously sexually abusing minors never caused her “concern” BECAUSE SHE PARTICIPATED IN IT

What would the vice president need to strategize about? This is a crime, with lots of evidence, there’s no reason for the administration to weigh in on any of this, except if they are deeply and inextricably involved.

I’m guessing she’ll have sudden interest in due process

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

A criminal gang has taken over the White House. It's not a group of "conservative politicians." It's a criminal gang run by a convicted felon. It's breaking laws every day. It's kidnapping people. It's soliciting bribes and extorting businesses.
This is not a political story – it's a crime story.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping.

None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
