Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

He got it not long after his daughter gave Ms. Habba, a lawyer close to President Trump, an extraordinarily lucrative job.

The oligarch fascist pedophiles are going all in to suppress democracy.

META “sincerely apologizes” for disabling the @No_Kings Instagram account at exactly the perfect time 🤔 @ezralevin.bsky.social : “This is strikingly reminiscent of what we saw in Brazil… We're not gonna stop organizing against this regime and collaborators on the outside.”

Hey, if you don’t even need to be a lawyer …

DOJ “has hastily hired a new crop of 130 people -- some w/ criminal records, minimal experience, tarnished work histories, hyperpartisanship and downright bizarre public statements.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/06/u...

FFS. Somalis have been in Minnesota literally for generations now. Tangerine Pedo is garbage.

Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social

If you‘ve studied history, you know what Trump and his fellow fascists are doing in Minnesota. They’re calling Somali Americans “garbage” and “enemy combatants“ because fascists need to create enemies and foment hate to excite their sick supporters.

Good morning. Federal prosecutors in Chicago filed partially redacted documents overnight in the "Broadview Six" case. The redactions appear to include the signature block (including the name) of one of the attorneys representing the United States government:

When federal prosecutors assured Judge April Perry last spring they'd had no contact with top DOJ brass while pursuing the "Broadview Six," she took them at their word. Those days are over. From me and @sophiesherry.bsky.social on Perry's fact-finding effort: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/1...

This ICE agent’s entire Instagram feed, “shooter.914,” is guns, watches, energy drinks, and alcohol.

NEW: Footage from Thursdays shooting shows an ICE agent in a construction vest brandishing a rifle. His name is Brenden Cuni. Federal judges have found multiple arrests involving Cuni unlawful. He has been accused of repeatedly Tasing a handcuffed man and tackling a pregnant woman in Minneapolis.

If you think this is not terrorism from the government aimed at suppressing voter turnout in November then you are not paying attention.

BrooklynDad_Defiant!@mmpadellan.bsky.social

ICE agents fired into the back of a car with a 5 year old inside, trying to arrest a guy. Miraculously, she survived. If you're not furious about what happened in the Bronx yesterday, you're not paying attention. FUCK ICE.

I put 40 bucks into Kalshi at the start of 2026. I’ve got 16 left. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It’s basically gambling. Except I can sell my shares at halftime if it’s looking good and make a small profit. My net loss confirms it’s gambling. But if I was winning ….. 🤣

Democrats are up double digits on the generic ballot. Republicans are breaking with Trump over taxpayer-funded ads. And a GOP senator accused Jack Smith of perjury, only to realize he had confused two basketball teams. If this is what the final stretch looks like, November cannot come soon enough.

thinkbigpicture.substack.comDemocrats rise as Trump and Vance campaign in GOP strongholds. Trump sparks Republican backlash. GOP Senator's gotcha attempt backfires hard.

Ever notice how everyone screaming about cutting social security as an 'entitlement' are the politicians who will retire with a comfy pension or the obscenely wealthy who have enough money for a thousand lifetimes? Raise the damn cap!!!

I’m sorry, what? This piece was not a joint publication/ reporting job (as some are). It was @propublica’s alone and the Times followed with a summary. This is so indicative of NYT. If they don’t ignore proper credit, they just go for stolen valor.

ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES 2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued. “And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton 📌Nicholas Lapointe 📌Christopher Semler I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.

I’m listening to the Ezra Klein—Jensen Huang interview and it really is astonishing how clueless and bored Huang sounds. He sounds like an exec rattling off talking points that he only just received. “It’s an Industrial Revolution. Jobs will change. But it’ll all, uh, be good. But my chips!”

It’s not questionable legality. It’s unreasonable search and seizure. It’s unconstitutional

Tech Policy Press@techpolicypress.bsky.social

Sarah Engelberg-Nolan, Emma Haberman, and Nicole Brosnan map out the legal questions raised by ICE's use of Palantir's Enhanced Leads Identification & Targeting for Enforcement (ELITE) targeting tool, from Fourth Amendment search issues to due process and standing hurdles.

Wow! And this person isn’t white? That is so surprising.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Federal ICE agents in suburban Chicago over the weekend mistakenly detained a U.S. citizen, who suffered injuries to his head, neck and teeth in the confrontation, according to local police. The Department of Homeland Security said agents released the man after he identified himself.

They are literally culling the healthy people … having healthy people pay into insurance is the whole reason universal healthcare works. This is diabolical.

Dr Oz: "There are 5 times more people in parts of Obamacare in Florida than live in the state. It's impossible More than a third of people on Obamacare have never used the insurance policy once. If you were gonna pay your hard-earned money to buy insurance, would you ever use it? The answer is yes"

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Shot in Austin. Taken into ICE custody with a bullet still in his back. His family kept in the dark, and his lawyer prevented from checking on his condition. The Constitution is clear on who due process protects: any person. Not citizens only. Any person. Settled law.
