Report on Soros Cited by Justice Dept. Does Not Show Funding for Terrorism

When Trump team pushed to investigate Soros, it cited a watchdog group report. But the group's own leader says "we actually did not make either of those claims that a prosecutor would need to make.” @fahrenthold.bsky.social @aduehren.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries.

Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact.

The administration is at war with Americans.

I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a β€œdangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Another headline-grabbing distraction. By sending troops, DJT shifts attention away, AGAIN, from the financial and operational investigations that could expose powerful people and institutions connected to Epstein. It's not just a distraction β€” it’s a message.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

DEAR CONGRESS:

You MUST ASK the Pentagon to release COST and PURPOSE details for the Quantico event, especially UNDER a shutdown threat.

GET ALL THE RECEIPTS.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation,

The U.S. is not a Functional Democracy Last week, Trump went full authoritarian

We are no longer at a β€œtipping point” or β€œan inflection point.” We are no longer β€œsliding” toward autocracy. Donald Trump no longer β€œaspires” to be an autocrat.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

turning out 3.5%β€”or 11.9 million Americansβ€”would be a tremendous achievement in the effort to overcome MAGA authoritarian rule, but over 60% of movements that turned out 1% to 3.5% succeeded. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (πŸŽ₯: Elias Eliahu)

What It Really Means to β€˜Give Infectious Disease a Break’ The Trump administration isn’t just dismantling protections against illnesses. It’s inviting them right in.

When Katherine J. Wu writes for the Atlantic, I always read her carefully: "In recent years, the US had already begun to neglect its public-health infrastructure, weakening defenses for keeping infectious diseases at bay. Now 47's admin is going for active destruction."
