Tom Homan, head of ICE, accepted $50k from undercover FBI agents last year, reportedly a bribe in a sting operation. All cash, in a paper bag. Pam Bondi, reading from a script, insists Homan did nothing wrong—yet she refuses to answer any questions about what happened to that cash? Really?

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

The people who are sincerely in favor of freedom of expression will speak out now for the reporters.

Someone looking at all this with a cold eye might say that Miller and Hegseth are seeking control over the power ministries before a Vance ally invokes the 25th Amendment.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

24/7 Russian Propaganda Blitz Hit Moldova Before the Elections - VSquare.org Moldovans had faced months, if not years, of an information onslaught at levels beyond what just about any society has faced. In the end, the pro-European ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) w...

💥🔎🇷🇺 Our analysis reveals the scale of Russia’s massive propaganda offensive in Moldova: in 3 weeks, 9,900 TikTok videos were published and generated over 93 million views, created with artificial intelligence. Yet despite Moscow’s efforts, the pro-European PAS secured 50.2% in the Sept 28 election.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

NEW: Judge Immergut - a trump appointee - has called an emergency hearing tonight because the administration appears to have tried to circumvent her order by calling in the California guard after she blocked the Oregon guard deployment with a temporary restraining order yesterday. 1/

NOW: Starting a new thread on the Portland National Guard hearing happening now. We're in the hearing. 1/

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

We’d like to know.

Americans paid $30 BILLION to bailout farmers after Trump’s tariff lunacy in Trump 1.0. He campaigned on tariffs in 2024. Why didn’t farmers speak out about what they experienced in his first term? Might be nice to ask them @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy.

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.

But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Trump's higher ed ransom note is here - everyone would have to acquiesce to their unprecedented demands or not be "given priority for grants," plus they can demand "reimbursement" for "violations" www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

A mechanism to enforce fealty. An attack on academic freedom and democracy

while trump takes our tax payer dollars and sends them to a corrupt dictator, in Argentina while stealing those funds from blue states and our NYPD, NYSP.

Brilliant remarks by @milestaylor.bsky.social and the na sec terrorism expert (excellent), and fantastic reporting from @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social. Thank you so much for translating the rapid dismantling of safeguards of security and safety (as now being done to NYPD, NYSP, and Lical LE in NY,

- federal uses of abuse of power and plans to abuse military force on American citizens, to cow & suppress voices of dissent & voices of truth, & anyone reporting the truth (journalists), but also to create LEVERAGE against blue state officials to CPW them to obey.

Thanks to @nicollewallace.bsky.social for extraordinary, detailed and comprehensive reporting on federal uses of violence, terror, threats, malign actions to disempower, & sow chaos and fear, to impose tyranny,

This is a naked attempt by Trump to punish the political opposition while illegally taking action to kill jobs and raise energy bills.

If Trump thinks these ugly intimidation tactics will work, he's sorely mistaken. I'll be standing firm against this corrupt abuse of power.

Defense Officials Fume at Pentagon Pete’s ‘Inexcusable’ Rant to Generals America’s top military leaders let rip at the bizarre spectacle set up by Hegseth.

Trump’s Speech to Generals Was Incitement to Violence Against Americans Military leaders’ quiet professionalism offers hope amid a maelstrom.

Kori Schake: “Yesterday morning, Trump and Hegseth behaved reprehensibly. Their speeches…were tantamount to incitement—a genuinely dangerous effort to suborn the military’s oath and condition them for using violence against their fellow Americans.” foreignpolicy.com/2025/10/01/t...

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

Trump says he’s sending the military in response to crime, to restore order. That’s the lie. (That’s the lie he’s using, that he wants us to repeat ).
