So hard to root for Shelton.

👏👏👏

Trump’s DOJ argued today in court that Trump could destroy the quickly Statue of Liberty and there could be no consequences. I feel that he has already figuratively done this.

for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.

A great live summary of the oral arguments on birthright citizenship in front of the Supreme Court laced with Elie’s humor which makes it palatable. I mean htf did we get here?!!

The most redeeming aspects of the MAGA platform were: - an unyielding stance on NO new wars (ESPECIALLY with Iran) - an unwavering commitment to hold ALL the Epstein pedophiles accountable - an uncompromising declaration to quickly bring down prices for all Americans Glad it all worked out.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

Oh, how I miss this man.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

And we just seized another oil tanker and are planning ground strikes in Mexico.

National Catholic Reporter:

Let's not forget. She was going to work. On her own street. In front of her own home. With her wife and dog ffs. The chaos came to her. It's preposterous to try & paint her as agitator, terrorist, danger. She was a mom in her car with her family. Killed 8 seconds after contact. 8 seconds 🤬💔🤬

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

The reason the GOP refused to allow this hearing to be public even though Smith agreed to a public hearing.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Pull up a seat America 🔆☕

Trump's USDA is ordering grocery stores to follow a federal rule outlawing them from giving discounts to SNAP recipients whose benefits are currently frozen illegally. So Trump's happy to finally follow the law as long as long as he can inflict pain and cruelty? Got it.

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law. They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

It's disgusting that Vance framed an attack that killed 2 ICE detainees and wounded a 3rd as an attack on law enforcement. Neither he or Noem acknowledge that only detainees were killed / injured. Always lying and misleading.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

I've got some extra copies of There Is No Place for Us, and I'd love to give away 5 signed books. Just repost, like, or comment to signal your interest. I'll pick names at random on Friday. Totally optional: feel free to share how the struggle for stable housing shows up in your life or community.

Hhmmm. No logical reason to block other than they are protecting their own.

Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: “Man from Moscow” Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.

Vanity Fair staffers threaten to walk out over a proposed Melania cover: “We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife… if this happens, i’m gone, and so is half my team.” www.thedailybeast.com/i-will-walk-...

I’m with the late great Molly Ivins:

It appears many American business, political, & media elites will only realize “it can happen here, too” *after Trump’s consolidation of power & au*thoritarian takeover is followed by state violence, conviction of opponents & dissidents on bogus pretexts, & rigged elections.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

How I long for the days this would be assumed to have been reported on the Onion.

We are very far over the cliff here folks

Republicans just blocked the release of the Epstein files. I can’t imagine why.

For those just waking up: last night Republicans voted against an amendment put forward by Democrats that would have forced the public release of all the Epstein files

"Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people who need it" @hana-kiros.bsky.social, on spending $130,000 to burn food worth $800,000 www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

A U.S. family with a trans and a nonbinary child just got preliminary asylum in Canada. Asylum. From here. The “land of the free”. That’s how broken this country is. We used to take in the persecuted, now we are the threat people are fleeing. And the world knows it.

That time Jorge Ramos called out Marco Rubio's hypocrisy on the issue of immigration, reminding Rubio that despite receiving a deportation order, his Grandfather stayed in the USA illegally. Bonus: Reminding MAGA that Rubio is Latino and speaks Spanish.

Combine this with the gutting of FEMA and the insurance issues escalated by DeSantis, Florida is in for a tough hurricane season.
