The Justice Department is now investigating grand jurors’ political views?

Bondi has no regard for oversight and thinks she can do whatever the hell she wants, without consequence, just like the rest of Trump’s cabinet.

"You have elected to take a job where the primary purpose is for you to eat shit and own the death of broadcast TV news, a thing that is going to die no matter what you do. Nice work!"

INBOX: The Chicago News Guild joined others in suing ICE for attacking journalists at the Broadview facility.

“Our members have a right, protected by the First Amendment, to do their jobs and report the news. They should not be targeted, injured or arrested for doing their jobs.”

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.

hey remember when i said that when they had the senate majority democrats should have held hearings about the federally subsidized spacex and its ceo?

anyway.

I mean, obviously.

The correct thing to do when DHS or ICE or any of these thugs makes a claim like this one -- the only thing to do, really -- is presume they are lying.

Because they always are.

They are state-sponsored Klan members, and should be treated accordingly.

NEW: The rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. is something @marcelias.bsky.social and his ancestors, who fled the Pale of Settlement, never imagined. But history teaches us that staying silent and letting hopelessness take over is never an option.

Miller Shouts and Sneers His Way Through Off-the-Rails Interview Trump’s top aide gave a jarring, volatile interview to CNN.

The pressure appears to be getting to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

To be clear, the Judge scheduled a hearing for Thursday, saying she needed the time for the parties to provide her with more information before she made a decision. This is hardly a win for the Trump administration.

Trump is now threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to bully courts into letting his illegal military occupations proceed unchecked by rule of law.

Inventing a fake crisis wholesale to bulldoze what's left of constitutional restraints: Unhinged despotism.

Okay, then. Make him invoke it.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

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.

Yes, very difficult to remember the extremely common name of "Ghislaine Maxwell," a person you might only from their association with one of the most famous criminals in history, who was also your best friend. I could see how you'd need a little refresher.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

Hey @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov what are you going to do about this?

He fucking incited an insurrection on 1/6/21. He should be in a fucking prison cell right now.

Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago.

Democratic governors need to band together and start their own union.

Newsom says he’s on the verge of quitting the National Govs Association: “should not be difficult … regardless of partisan affiliation, to agree that politicizing our states’ Natl Guard and deploying… over the objections of the home-state Governor,harms the interests of states”

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

Illinois just joined the legal fight to keep Trump from sending red states National Guards into blue states. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Once you start looking for evidence that soft secession might happen you see it everywhere: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Is Antifa in the room with us right now?

The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president — not any of his aides — who authored the written responses to his questions. He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly. The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity. He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings. Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Nobody is talking about this right now. Yes, it’s an issue, but the bigger issue is Trump sending the National Guard into blue cities. Read the room.

This is what happens when a stupid little man runs HHS.

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!
