David Brooks: "If you want a policy change, go to the voters. Don't shut down the government. ... Our democracy has deteriorated to such a degree [that] there should be howling outrage."

I’d like to know who the judges here are, because Judge Ellis was clear that she wasn’t managing Bovino’s job, but being a neutral arbiter of the law.

Inflatable Halloween costumes are really more of a long-term investment this year given how effective they are in fighting fascism.

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is now pushing to preserve health-care subsidies for Americans and to release the full Epstein files—breaking with Trump as she calls for transparency in a party constrained by secrecy and fear of its leader.

Federal agents reporting to incompetent Kristi Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, & detaining U.S. citizens.

They have failed to focus on violent criminals

Assaulting women & children is easier.

How Much Less Free Are You? A Speech at North Carolina State University - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs_k... @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org

Worth an hour and a quarter of your time.

"I have never seen a set of pretrial motions quite like this one in its power and breadth and its attempt comprehensively to dismember the legitimacy of, process behind, and substance of an indictment."

@BenjaminWittes.lawfaremedia.org summarizes Comey's recent motions to dismiss the indictment.

Not enough mouthwash in the world to get the taste of Trump’s ass out of Chris Wright’s mouth. This administration desperately needs a Brutus.

“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

--Stephen Miller speaking to Memphis police earlier this month.

I want a democrat to get bit by a zombie. I want a bloodthirsty, feral, hotheaded warrior creature who will stop at nothing to win. Where are my political animals who will fight tooth and nail for what is right? I’m sick of the high road. It’s gotten us here. We need a new route. A lowdown dirty one

Mamdani’s Speech About Being Muslim Resonates Beyond New York City ... GOOD FOR HIM. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/n...

Good morning everyone. It's me again here to ask NYC residents to please send a letter to your City Council person in support of allocating 0.5% of the city expense budget to our local public libraries. Thank you. It will only take you 90 seconds. This time with the correct link:

“What you need to know about this secret US report highlighting Israeli army crimes in Gaza”

Just so we're clear: This administration's blatant, unapologetic choice to deny food to 42 million people—to have the money sitting there and say, "No, we'll let them go hungry"—is simply a more overt display of why homelessness and poverty keep worsening in this country.

Because it's *decided.*

I sat down with @aljazeera.com to talk about my firing from the Washington Post, being the last Black staff columnist left at the Post.

And how I believe the right is not just engaging in “cancel culture”, but “annihilation culture”.

Good question Senator Warner.
The Media Are Another Arm Of The Spineless RepubliKKKan Party.

Newsom is suggesting, though he hasn’t quite said it yet, that Biden was stabbed in the back by the very elites who are now caving to Trump. He’s almost there. Others could beat him to that conclusion if they chose to.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit before Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago have filed their response to the 7th Circuit, over whether Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino should have to appear in court daily.

They note, as Ellis did, that "Bovino himself has stated publicly" that it "poses no obstacle to his work."

The non-military version of "stolen valor."

It's probably worth remembering that this is a regime that has been looking for a reason to use the insurrection act and has already pressure tested several avenues
