Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

“…we are compelled to speak with one voice to say that the actions of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are endangering the health of the nation…the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

Supreme Court Live Updates: Justices Seem Set to Rule Against Colorado’s Ban on Conversion Therapy

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

SEN. HIRONO: “Did you approve shutting down the bribery investigation into Homan?”

BONDI: “Are you Antifa?” 🤡

(That’s a yes)

In this Ohio diner, conversion therapy is what the Browns and Bengals need after going 7 for 23 on third downs this weekend. But they do know this: if a Christian minister can't make your kid straight, no one can.

It's always funny how many of these dorks love religion until it says to be a good person.

Founding Father James Madison: “A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.”

Prescient.

New on MSNBC: Trump's new acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan has recruited prosecutors from outside her office to take James Comey to trial, after being unable to find any federal prosecutors in her own office willing to pursue the charges, according to two people familiar with the selections.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well.

To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving them—words can’t even describe how backwards that is.

Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.

…Trump says, as he rubs his hands together with glee.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

The Supreme Court v. Democracy The Nation’s justice correspondent previews the court’s coming term—and explains why it will never stand up to Trump.

With the Opus Dei court, the sole question is: how much damage can we visit on America and its Constitution this term? How much progress can we make in building our signature authoritarian state with Trump at the helm? Don't underestimate them for a second. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

🚨THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Chicago journalists are suing the Trump administration for using excessive force against reporters & protestors in violation of the 1A.
The press here is doing astounding work documenting how ICE is out of control. The violence they face in doing so is obscene.

Fox News should lose their FCC license to broadcast news over this kind of crap.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Your social media team deserves a raise!!

Today is MSNBC’s first day apart from NBC. Here is its new code of principles. - Poynter The new network’s 10 core principles emphasize fairness, accuracy, transparency and firm limits on AI

My kind of news organization with outstanding principles and values.

@msnbc.com

The Israeli government denies mistreating Greta Thunberg. Then Police Min Itamar Ben Gvir goes on TV to gleefully announcing that she was indeed tortured. He says he's proud of the fact. It's a great demonstration of how the Israeli government under Netanyahu works, unable to coordinate its lies

They are dangerous bc they're out of control and having a narcissistic crash out. This is the time to be brave, while also - crucially - renewing our commitment to nonviolent discipline as we exercise our Constitutional Rights.

Every DoJ attorney promoting and defending at this stuff should never again eat food that is less than 10% spit

The regime reeks of desperation right now, y'all. This is like how your abusive ex was his most controlling and dangerous right before you broke free of him. These are scary times bc they are desperate to scare us. They see the American people rising in opposition and they're panicking.

NEW: Judge Immergut issues her written second TRO, blocking the Trump admin from deploying ANY federalized National Guard troops from ANY state in Oregon. (Full hearing thread below) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.
