So I finished my nighttime parking lot painting. There is oddly a lot of bright sparks in the night. It makes me feel hope. That path from the streetlight through the orange building to the pink car is an army of cheerful resistance.

BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org & partners just sued ICE over a nasty catch-22 ICE detains people, takes their IDs & work papers, releases them, keeps the papers. Now they can't work & risk getting picked up again for having no ID We're going to court to get it ALL back -TN

They’really trying to lie their way through it 🤥

Get these lunatics away from my government

JUST IN: 'Furious' Judge Ana Reyes (Biden/DC) goes almost medieval on Trump admin for cutting down more than 400 trees at East Potomac Golf Course despite her understanding w/DOJ lawyers for advance notice of any major renovations. w/@kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

🔥 damn — MARGE TO TRUMP: “you are the deep state, the Epstein class, and America last, and my mistake was ever supporting you in the first place”

Common Cause just told a federal judge that Trump's taxpayer funded propaganda ads ran hundreds of times after a TRO ordered an immediate halt to them. The two-page notice buff.ly/u2GESdN

"It’s generally illegal for executive branch officials to play a role in awarding contracts that would have a direct impact on their own finances..." www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

More than 1.5 million people have watched our video on how the Roberts court has ushered in a new era of Jim Crow. See why youtube.com/shorts/QVBHg...

I love that this might be the thing that tanks Paxton, and not the biblical divorce or letting a child rapist out early.

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

So on Joanne Freeman’s (@jbf1755.bsky.social) evening YouTube gathering she displayed travel versions of her inspiring items (can of chutzpah, whistle of we and the protest pigeon) for when she is on the road. I thought it was fitting Rosie had her travel Joanne.

At her 22-week ultrasound, Amanda Jablonski learned their daughter had developed without a skull or a brain. There was no chance for survival, and every day Amanda stayed pregnant was a threat to her health and life. Under TN law, she was denied an abortion. www.wbir.com/article/news...

Trump seeks to bring health-research funding under his control, Politico reports reut.rs/4AoVoZH

🚨 SCOOP: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a sweeping package of new election laws aimed at protecting ballots, voting equipment, vote-by-mail and the chain of custody ahead of the November election, including new felony penalties for interference.

Google's Gemini model accessed the internet and hacked other companies during a test of its cybersecurity capabilities, the first known example of the company's AI systems autonomously committing such an act. cnn.it/4762qFb

She never gets a day off and is never allowed to wear pants and comfortable shoes.

Very telling that a year into the maritime murders, the Trump admin has not: --released the OLC permission slip for the killing spree --allowed Hill staff counsel (as opposed to members) to see the memo --defended strikes in court (admin handed off survivors rather than detain or prosecute them)

CNN: US is preparing a large-scale military operation against Yemen's Houthis in retaliation for their strikes on Saudi Arabia, with the Camp David meeting held to review Yemen strike options, shortly before Trump left for the White House.

A while back I wrote about the inattention Mamdani's good government work was getting in the media, and one pushback was "well, lets see what happens when he actually does something." So, waiting to see if the Times and others pay attention to this. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/mamdani-me...

Four more troops have died than Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense has admitted, new reporting reveals.

You would think the nephew of John F. Kennedy, who currently holds a position in the Trump administration, would have something to say about the potential destruction of the beloved Kennedy Center, but I guess letting children die of preventable diseases is a full time job.

NEW: Organizers in Montana and Missouri have faced years of attacks against popular initiatives. So they're going on the offense—they've qualified 2 measures for November that would amend their state constitutions and significantly strengthen direct democracy. Fascinating pro-voter maneuver:

But a Dem Congress making sweeping systemic change over the next 2 years with Trump in the White House and oligarchs dominating SCOTUS probably isn't in the cards. 2029 is for prosecuting, expanding SCOTUS, and making the sweeping systemic change we need. END/

I agree that in 2027 and 2028, Congressional investigations, funding the government, and consideration of Trump nominees can NOT be business as usual. No "reaching across the aisle", funding Trump BS, or voting for ANY Trump nominee - judicial or otherwise. Those days are definitely over. 1/

This is yet another telling example of the Trump regime’s racism. There’s no pretense here of targeting criminals - the usual excuse for mass deportations. DHS is specifically encouraging Haitian “doctors, lawyers, scholars and engineers” to leave. Any decent society would value these people.

Fot the record, there were zero fatal U.S. commercial airline crashes during Pete Buttigieg’s tenure as U.S. Secretary of Transportation from 2021 to 2025…

A new study shows the steep economic cost of 2025's ICE raids in Chicago. Fear kept many immigrants home, draining the area of more than $1.26 billion in lost retail, restaurant, and sales-tax revenue. n.pr/3VjoQA5

NEW: A Minnesota Supreme Court justice raised concerns during oral argument Tuesday that one city’s request to use paper poll books rather than electronic records could disenfranchise thousands of voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

@jbf1755.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social talked about bee-ball on ‘What the heck just happened’? It was hilarious 😂. I couldn’t resist having Rosie enjoy this.

ICE agents give contradictory orders on purpose. “You f*cking move I’ll f*cking tase you! Get out of the f*cking car!” It’s a no win situation. The person being violently accosted in this video is a disabled veteran. Imagine if the agents had been wearing shock gloves? Abolish & prosecute ICE

Muslims aren't the United States' biggest threat. Christian nationalists like mean, crazy, and fake-Christian Nancy Mace are. (And Trojan is capitalized, you semi-literate troll.)

Hatred and exclusion of Americans due to their religion is illegal, anti-American, and disgusting. We will not be silent.

Reid: There’s nothing the right hates more than women. They’re out of the kitchen. They got away from them after World War II. They want to get jobs, have money, and they want to tell you what to do and be your CEO. They can’t deal with it.

@timmiller.bsky.social offers Democrats advice on how to campaign against this war. "The Republicans handed you one on a platter right here, so take it. They started the stupidest war imaginable, so be 100% against it."

This is great. Been offering my followers a version of this for awhile. It’s beyond important to be smart consumers.

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains. We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors. We don't need to desecrate this sacred land. We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.

Private equity is price gouging firefighters now. Yes, you read that right. Firefighters. Is this the most evil thing they've done yet?

Can I get an amen?

TODAY: @katiephang.bsky.social is a badass. Judge Sullivan has ordered Todd Blanche and the Justice Department to explain his Epstein redactions in open court this week. I'll speak to Katie today at NOON PT / 3 PM ET her case. www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-judge-...

SO many people need to listen…

They openly admit their election crimes & are actively doing everything they can to undermine & outright steal the Midterm Elections. Any surprise he fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission? He knows if he loses he's headed for a 3rd Impeachment & an orange jumpsuit. 🤞 👍

Our tax dollars….

Susan Collins voted no on Trump’s Attorney General. He got confirmed anyway. Miraculous. We’ve watched this act for thirty years. Maine is done watching. Troy is going to crush her.
