We really should outlaw the use of “chemical agents” by law enforcement in America.

From DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin regarding Gregory Bovino's use of tear gas this week:

"Border Patrol agents repeated multiple warnings to back up and that chemical agents would be deployed … Riot control measures were deployed, including by Chief Bovino."

While millions of Americans go without a paycheck during the Republican shutdown, the Trump administration is working overtime to make sure Big Polluters don’t miss theirs.

Polluted waterways. Despoiled national monuments.

The Trump administration just approved a copper mining expansion in Utah near Bears Ears without considering the impacts on local communities.

This was a polluter giveaway in the middle of a government shutdown and they thought nobody would notice.

So to be clear, the ICE fascists violently deporting 70-year-old immigrants because they allegedly forgot to check a box 15 years ago, themselves fail basic reqs so badly that the 13 week ICE training is now 6 weeks, & people with criminal records who'd otherwise be banned, are leading these raids.🤦🏽‍♂️

I see that @whitehousehistory.bsky.social put out a statement yesterday stating that they were able to complete a “comprehensive digital scanning project” to document the East Wing, and that the historic artifacts have been preserved and stored.

Oct 22, 2025 Washington, D.C. —
Since 1961, the mission of the White House Historical Association has been to document and share the history of the White House while providing private, non-taxpayer funding to preserve and enhance the White House Collection of furnishings, fine art, and decorative objects, maintaining the museum standard set by our founder, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. While the Association has never had a role in reviewing or approving changes to the physical structure of the White House building, we remain dedicated to advancing the public’s understanding of The White House and its history — from when the cornerstone was set in 1792, to present — ensuring that all of its stories are preserved and shared for generations to come.

Upon announcement of the Ballroom construction project by the White House, the White House Historical Association supported the preservation of East Wing history through a comprehensive digital scanning project and photography to create an historic record. The East Wing and gardens have been captured in detail for the benefit of our nation and historic artifacts from the East Wing have been preserved and stored. The White House Historical Association was able to support swift completion of this important work thanks to the generous philanthropy of our donors.
November 1 marks 225 years since John and Abigail Adams moved into a White House that has undergone scores of changes and many additions over 47 presidencies. Our important role will continue with the support of thousands of Americans who cherish the historic White House and the history of those who have lived and worked there for 225 years.

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.

And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:
