Thanks, New Yorker

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Same.

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.

It's the first Monday in October which means the Supreme Court is back in session. Here's my preview of all the cruelty and evil they will visit upon us this term.
My *cover story* in @thenation.com :)

Doing some back of the napkin math on the Free Press acquisition, I've determined The Onion is worth $2 trillion.

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

“California, and the country, cannot await the outcome of the midterms to repel Trump’s siege on democracy. More drastic action is required."

Read @clarajeffery.bsky.social on how powerful states can fight back against Trumpism. After all, California has the 4th largest economy in the world.

Chills…

Top judge's $1.5M beachfront home is burned to the ground South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein's home became engulfed in flames, causing three to be rushed to hospital. Police have launched an investigation.

Yes. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

In 2023, NY contributed $89 billion more to the federal government than we received. Undocumented immigrants in NYC contributed $3 billion. So in theory we could just stop giving Republicans federal subsidies and pay for that marginal $18 billion in infrastructure directly and have a big surplus.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

Ambassador Huckabee says his highest duty is to protect Americans abroad but has done virtually nothing to return them. He needs to do his job.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Amen

If ICE agents want to stop being compared to Nazis and the Gestapo, here are some tips for them:
1) Take off your masks
2) Identify yourselves
3) Stop disappearing innocent people off the street
4) Avoid shooting women, like you did today, you fucking Gestapo Nazis

No lies detected from Army Major General Paul Eaton! 🔥

#ResistTrump

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Another string of days without a single public appearance— not flying to Jersey or FL.
“Golfing” in VA.
Not suspicious at all.

History repeats.

We Are Not Fascists, and If You Call Us Fascists, We Will Arrest You President Trump had another successful week of what is already the greatest presidency of all time, and yet, the woke leftist mob continues to deli...

"There is nothing funny about calling me or Donald Trump a fascist, and if you do, we will ship you to Guantanamo."

I don’t buy for one second that Trump voters didn’t know Project 2025 would be his playbook. They just didn’t think it would touch them. Oops!

CNN needs to own its role too, letting Trump lie unchecked and pushing that lazy “both sides” framing between him and Kamala Harris.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.

I view today's decision as yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. This Court should have stayed its hand. Having opted instead to join the fray, the Court plainly mis- judges the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors by privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the sta- bility our Government has promised them. Because, re- spectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent.

NEW: By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to cancel Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants.

KBJ, dissenting, says she "cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference" while "lives hang in the balance."

YouTube video by Katie Phang OMG! Trump HITS ROCK BOTTOM After SHOCKING ICE RAID

“F—k them kids!” That’s what federal agents said about the half-naked children zip-tied together & dragged into the streets of Chicago in the dead of night Tuesday morning during one of Convicted Felon Trump’s raids.

Americans MUST speak up now to save this country.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Nashville ruled that the Department of Justice’s criminal case against Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia may be a form of punishment against him for legally challenging his abrupt removal to an El Salvador megaprison earlier this year.
