Kristie Noem announced the arrest of the“Girlfriend of the founder of Antifa” in Portland. Was the girlfriend the one in the plushie dinosaur suit or the giant kitty? Or maybe Chicken Suit Man? Noem gets more ridiculous every day. Hey Noem, We are all ANTIFA, just try and arrest us all. #ProudBlue

Rep Eric Swalwell: “Epstein Bomb” is about to drop and at least 100 House Republicans will break with Trump and Mike Johnson to avoid the fallout. No one wants to be known as a Pedo-Protector. That is career ending.So House Republicans are ready to jump off the Trump/Johnson Pedo Train #ProudBlue

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

JB Pritzker Has Had It With Democrats Who Won’t Stand Up to Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/u.... #ProudBlue. I have been a fan of JB Pritzker since the 2024 convention. He is bold and fearless. Exactly who we need to fight not only a senile Donald Trump but the pro-fascist GOP. #Pritzker2028

youtube.com/shorts/LMkGM... #ProudBlue. Just a view of “Hell Hole” Portland where the entire city is “ Burning Down”. Trump will see this video and swear Portland has been invaded by large green dinosaurs. Whatever the senile old bastard sees on TV he believes.

And now for a report from the hellish war-zone that is Portland

If any other president in all of our history said the military should use American cities as a training ground, he would have been removed from office that same day.

Trump should be removed immediately. His dementia fueled hallucinations are dangerous for anyone. Especially a man with the nuclear codes. 25th Amendment now

NEW: TN’s Senators Blackburn & Hagerty joined Republicans in blocking a resolution that would’ve forced Trump to get congressional approval for targeted killings.

AP: The Trump admin hasn’t shown Congress any evidence that the targeted boats were smuggling drugs.

The Trump Regime is committing murder on the high seas. Even if the boats are full of narcotics (Trump has given no evidence that they are ) drug possession and smuggling is not a death penalty crime in the United States. This is murder. Fuck Blackburn and Hagerty

ICE is sending people to a prison in Africa’s only absolute monarchy www.motherjones.com/politics/202... #ProudBlue. Trump Regime is disappearing deportees into a true “Hell Hole” prison in the country of Eswatini. They have no set sentence or release date. They simply cease to exist. This is murder

ICE is sending people to a prison in Africa’s only absolute monarchy

Inside the “legal black hole” in Eswatini, where Trump is sending detainees.

Nothing says America first like 300 federal agents descending on a Chicago apartment complex at 3:00AM on a Tuesday morning, zip tying its residents (some of them CHILDREN) and denying them the opportunity call a lawyer.

Government sanctioned domestic terrorism is all you can call it.

What the Bad Bunny episode says about Mike Johnson and the GOP.Johnson truly believes that a Super Bowl half time show should be an all white Trump Rally. In his mind Lee Greenwood is where America is in 2025. Johnson is 100% wrong. 2025 America Is much more Bad Bunny than Lee Greenwood. #ProudBlue

Pastor David Black has sued the Trump regime for civil rights violations after ICE fired rubber bullets at him during a Constitutionally protected free speech protest. Remember when The Regime said ICE was only “Going after the worst of the worst?“ Now they are shooting preachers. #ProudBlue

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Remember the Pam Bondi dynamic: for two decades she's had the "well we have to book SOMEBODY, even that idiot Bondi" role in cable news. Now she has stature and professional hair colorists and ad libs written for her.

She's in Pam Bondi heaven and will do or say anything to stay there

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

Kristie Noem relishes cruelty and violence like a serial killer relishes taunting his victims before going in for the kill. Her Butchers Bill when she is tried for her crimes will put Kristie Noem in a category with Stalin and Hitler for her bloodthirsty commitment to her job.And she films it all

Blumenthal to Bondi: "He has been transparent. In fact, 5 days before the indictment of Comey, he put this post up as instructions to you. He didn't mince words. He was very open & public that you should indict Comey and&others because they are 'guilty as hell, no more delay, now.' 5 days before"

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.
