Benny Johnson « @bennyjohnson X.com BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stares down army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit from the rooftop of the ICE facility here in Portland. Noem says: "Hey; Guy in the chicken suit. You can do better. Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed." Noem isn't chicken: [chicken emoji]

A view from the roof of the building. There are about 15-20 people visible in total, several of whom appear to be reporters. Most are holding signs. They aren’t even taking up the whole sidewalk. One guy is wearing a chicken suit.

This made me laugh so hard. Second screenshot is of the video posted by Benny Johnson of the event.

Ballot drop-off locations are now open. You don’t have to wait until November to vote!

If you’re voting by mail, we recommend returning your ballot before October 31st to ensure it is postmarked by Election Day, November 4, 2025.

Bottom line: VOTE EARLY!

Broadview police are investigating.

BEHN: “Feed kids. Fix roads. And fund hospitals. Instead of handing out corporate tax breaks.”

TN-07 Democratic nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social puts her people-first priorities front and center in a high-energy victory speech

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

It's not just "putin's War", it is "russia's War"

This will leave a stain on russian society and politics that will remain long after putin is gone.👇

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

⚡️ NEW: State Rep. Aftyn Behn has won the Democratic Primary in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District Special Election

@aftynbehn.bsky.social

I swear these guys must be j6ers or militia or bounty hunters. They violate rights left and right

The League of Women Voters of the U.S. & Illinois have issued this powerful statement. In our 100+ years of voting rights advocacy, there has never been a need to speak out against treating fellow citizens like enemies. Sadly, there is now. Stand with us: bit.ly/48jzFH8 @lwvus.bsky.social

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Update from the war zone in Portland.

The United States is deliberately coordinating efforts to protect the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. It's being coordinated and directed from the Oval Office.

48. On August 27, 2025, CBP arrested Petitioner in Carson, California. During his arrest, Petitioner sustained severe injuries to his leg and CBP transported him to UCLA-Harbor Medical Center in Carson, California where he was hospitalized as a “custody” of ICE. Petitioner remains in the custody of ICE at UCLA-Harbor Medical Center with private contractor guards posted inside his patient room at all times and controlling and limiting access to Petitioner by medical personnel, attorneys, and family members. 49. ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings or charged him with being in violation of immigration law. Upon information and belief, no warrant for Petitioner’s arrest has been issued.

The habeas petition for Byron Rovidio Marin (the guy held w/o charge in a hospital for 37 days after ICE broke his leg) has been unsealed.

Josh Hawley and Yale Law School, ladies and gentlemen.

Trump is antichrist.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

There must be some *really* fucked up shit in those files.

Legacy newspapers: "Print media is dying, and the public will suffer for it."

Also legacy newspapers: "We can't offend the government with information and framing that helps the public."

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

WHITEHOUSE: How many suspicious activity reports did you investigate out of the hundreds related to accounts of Jeffrey Epstein?

BONDI: I'm not sure if you're concerned, because you took money I believe from Reid Hoffman, if that's correct

WHITEHOUSE: You seem to have looked at 0 of them

Also I think the reality is OMB and the house are doubling down on this "We're going to try and ruin people's lives to force the democraps to the table" and it's kind of like holding a gun to your own foot and telling the person across from you that you'll do it.

I’m feeling hopeful 🤣

It’s “states’ rights” if you want to force women to give birth without healthcare, and “states’ rights” if you want to ignore kids getting murdered in schools, but apparently “states’ rights” don’t exist when the president wants to send troops into cities that didn’t vote for him
