Opinion | How the Supreme Court Paved the Way for Revenge Prosecutions

Must read piece by @weissmann.substack.com & Mary McCord: In the year since, rather than preventing the weaponization of prosecutions, the court has unleashed it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/o...

Blood visible from space in Sudan shows evidence of Darfur genocide: Analysts Satellite images and verified videos paint a harrowing picture of door-to-door mass killings in the Darfur region of war-torn Sudan.

There is a genocide & humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

The reports of mass killings, starvation, and displacement in El Fasher are horrifying.

The US must hold the UAE & any other arms dealers to the RSF accountable and act urgently to save lives.

Trump moves to block public servants from loan forgiveness based on ideology Those who work with undocumented immigrants, provide gender transition care for minors or publicly protest could be blocked from student loan forgiveness under a new rule.

No, Mr. President.

You do not have the right to take away student debt forgiveness from teachers, nurses, veterans and other public servants if they do not show loyalty to your right-wing political agenda.

This is a democracy, not a dictatorship. Rescind this illegal rule.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

I’ve seen them using it. It looks like an app on their phones. I don’t know about 50 feet, but it looks like it at least works from 10-20. My guess is, it’s using the phone’s camera, so as long as they can zoom in and get a clear shot, it works.

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”

On day 31 of the government shutdown, Trump parties at Mar-a-Lago with his wealthy friends instead of working to reach a deal with Democrats to reopen the government.

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes “Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

the one part of this awful video I found inspiring is the moment when the cam pans back and you see an array of upstanding Americans with their smartphones out filming these gutter thugs. that's really the symbol of the opposition. the smartphone and its embedded video cam.

HCR nails it every time but love the way Neguse reframed what’s happening. Why isn’t everyone in the media doing this?

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

Kristi Noem claims that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. We're calling BS.

IDs are mismatched, illegible or still missing 3 weeks after judge’s order to immigration officers In dozens of photographs at four locations, Chicago Sun-Times photojournalists documented federal officers failing to wear the “visible identification” needed to hold individuals accountable during the ongoing immigration “blitz.”

Dozens of photographs of uniformed immigration agents shot by Chicago Sun-Times photojournalists in four separate locations since the court order show how the feds have fallen short. trib.al/XP5Wq9T

I do not see identification of this federal agent in a "conspicuous" place on his uniform, as ordered Tuesday by U.S. District Cout Judge Sara Ellis, in this photo of him making physical contact with Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez

Trump didn't send armed agents to the Chicago area to quell violence. He sent them there to cause violence.

A judge has ruled that Trump & Vance must continue to fund SNAP and stop illegally withholding resources from American families. Trump's weaponization of food must stop NOW.

Don’t be like Amy. Ask the bigger questions like Melanie.

The White House and the GOP are playing Hunger Games with vulnerable U.S. families, including tens of millions of children. They’re allowing SNAP benefits to run out tomorrow while claiming they’re powerless to stop it. They’re lying, and I have the receipts. My write-up is in the replies.

It’s tacky & garish, and so confusing, he’ll probably confuse the loo with the tub in his current state.

Congress members get $2400/MONTH for meals and don’t have to turn in receipts to “REDUCE THE BURDEN OF EXPENSE REPORTING.”

I wonder how many hoops SNAP beneficiaries have to jump through in order to get an average of $187/MONTH for a FAMILY??

No wonder those old turtles in Congress never leave.

Didn't South Korea just give us $350 billion? That should make a nice dent

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.

Is Justice Done? You’ve probably seen or read at least something about the story that is the subject of tonight’s post.

Prosecutors are facing discipline for telling a judge the truth in a sentencing memo. This post traces the case, its facts, the sentencing process, and helps us understand why this completes the cycle of corrupting the Justice Department Trump has set us on.

NEW: After ICE used tear gas on kids setting up for a Chicago Halloween parade, Pritzker asked DHS to keep Halloween ICE free, for kids' safety. Kristi Noem just said "No". 😶 Show this to every moron who insists conservatives "care for the children."

And how, exactly, is ICE going to “protect kids” Kristi Noem?

By putting them in zip-ties?
