JUST IN: A federal judge says one of the Venezuelan men — illegally deported to El Salvador in March before he was swapped back to Venezuela in a prisoner exchange — is now missing, possibly a victim of the violence he was seeking asylum from. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Unemployment Rose To 4.4% In September, Delayed Data Shows—Higher Than Expected The economic data, delayed by more than a month, offers a snapshot of the labor market as large-scale layoffs were announced in recent weeks.

I thought it was strange that we almost went 24 hours without a new Mills scandal. That countdown has ended.

WATCH— @abbydphillip to ben ferguson: “Hold on a second… we just played for people at home EXACTLY what the video says. You can’t then sit here and lie about that same video. It said you cannot follow ILLEGAL orders.”

The sitting president is a stochastic terrorist.

That is what he is and and has always been.

Had any other president called for the execution of his political rivals, it would have ended his presidency.

But it is the nature of the GOP to trample every norm and boundary in defense of their Great

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

“Federal prosecutors dismiss charges against Marimar Martinez, shot by a Border Patrol agent multiple times after allegedly using her car to assault federal law enforcement in Chicago…”

So THEY rammed HER, shot her, and bragged about “5 shots, 7 holes”

Houlahan: "I'm just continually stunned by the fact the commander in chief, the president, has called for my death. And that's something that should be chilling for everybody, and everybody should be worried about their safety in this nation when the president can yield that sort of statement."

This is perfect. A Fox 52 episode podcast about the life of Jesus, apparently built on subterfuge, theft and lies. Many or most of the actors billed as participating had their voices repurposed from other work and didn't even know they were part of it. ew.com/celebrities-...

The President is calling for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged. This is deplorable, un-American, & an open invitation to political violence.

Servicemembers take their oath to the Constitution, not to any president. I stand with my colleagues who have honorably served this nation.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.

Except for the ones that weren’t

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

JP Morgan knew about Epstein's sex trafficking, but didn't report it so they could keep doing business with him.

How the FBI Became the Face of Deprofessionalization What research tells us about national security under authoritarianism

"A personalist regime allowed a mediocrity like Patel to rise by being willing to sell out the honorable and competent...FBI is being weakened in its capacities to do anything except to serve as a loyalist organization."

Important @donmoyn.bsky.social piece:

This is really happening. Right now.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Yea, the Biden administration, notoriously rude group.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

I imagine everyone of dreaded Boomer era has similar story:
-My uncle fought in Battle of Bulge, vs Nazis
-My future father-in-law was in submarine, vs Nazis
-My dad was in training as Navy doctor, to fight Nazis

Now MAGA/Trump/Hegseth: "Who are we to judge?"

Not a word from the Speaker about Trump’s comments

SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!

Insanity

Trump with the Saudi Prince and murderer, MBS, looking like a kid on Christmas Morning.

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible.
But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.
