I continue to just respect the hell out of this guy

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Gov. Pritzker after Trump calls for him to be jailed: “I will not back down… what else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no.

Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

Fuck this.

This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

“.. 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 ..”

This picture is from 1992 in LA and using it in this post and story shows terrible news judgment.

This is what running scared looks like.

Whoaaaaa

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

TBI — HANCOCK COUNTY: “school board member Jack Mullins (75) charged with 2 counts of Solicitation of a Minor + 1 count of Official Misconduct… approached a juvenile female at a fitness center and attempted to solicit her to engage in sexual activity…” tbinewsroom.com/2025/10/06/h...

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Illinois Sues to Block Trump’s Deployment of Texas National Guard in Chicago Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: Illinois filed a lawsuit Monday to block President Donald Trump’s attempt to send hundreds of Texas National Guard troops in Chicago, saying the deployment infringes on the state’s “sovereignty and right to self-governance.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

He is telling them there are no rules of engagement on his watch. Hideous!

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?

Where are the commanding officers of those sailors in the background. How are they letting this happen?

The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head. My video report paints a very Portland scene of defiance—and dance.

The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head.

@kevinhfoster.bsky.social recently visited the ICE facility and spoke with people there and across Portland—and the reality of what is happening on the streets is very different than what the administration wishes to portray.

“This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that . . risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power—to the detriment of this nation.” — Trump-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut (Oct. 4, 2025).

This is an incredible story, once again involving Signal and being clean on opsec

South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell' A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time?

BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

🗣️THIS is the message!!

Brava, Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social!!

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Government Enters Shutdown After Congress Misses Funding Deadline Hundreds of thousands of federal workers will go home while others, including active-duty troops, will have to work without pay.

The federal government has shut down after a congressional standoff over measures aimed at protecting health insurance for millions of Americans

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.”

Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

The president is lying
