So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

🚨BREAKING: The Republican Party’s top mapmaker testified in federal court Wednesday that while he’s been instructed in the past to preserve minority congressional districts protected by the Voting Rights Act, he received no such direction when drawing Texas’ new gerrymander this summer.

You haven't been paying attention, have you?

WHO IS GOING TO STOP HIM?

'He can't do that' 'It's against the Constitution' blah blah blah.

He doesn't CARE about 'laws' and SCOTUS told him he can do ANYTHING.

He doesn't want any COMPETITION in 'agitating' crowds.

That's HIS job.

Rule it out, or don't rule it out, makes no difference in the end.

He does whatever he wants to do and there are no consequences.

That's just reality

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

How would that 'agreement' be enforced?

It can't.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Religious protesters say ICE threatens religious freedom in Chicago

Is there a black politician that at some point or another Trump hasn't called "low IQ?"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

Killing those Venezuelans was a trial run, to see what the UN and other countries would do/say about it.

It was crickets.

So the coast is clear now ... accusations followed by killings are coming on US soil.

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Today I wrote about why my law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump has launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

The thing about HOMAN is this:

We know about one instance that was an FBI STING

It's naive to assume THAT IS THE ONLY TIME HE TOOK A BRIBE. There was a 'sting' on him for a reason

None of them post on here; you want to send them a message, sadly, you have to go to that other place.
