If every last one of the people around that table including the President were to be convicted and jailed for the rest of their lives it would be only a small consolation for the destruction they’ve wrought on this country in 9 months’ time.

Texas Gateway Church pastor, Trump / MAGA spiritual advisor, and sponsor, Robert Morris, has plead guilty for raping a 12 year old girl. Morris sponsored one of Trump’s Inaugural Balls in 2017 and partook in other MAGA & GOP events. #OpDeathEaters #EndImpunity

Miller has an army of fascistic goons ready to do his bidding and a chief executive that won’t question a single thing fed to him.

It’s a death spiral.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Oh: @clairegiangrave.bsky.social with an exclusive:

Pope Leo, in addition to urging U.S. bishops to speak out about mistreatment of immigrants, also told a group of U.S. Latino Catholics who work w/immigrants their job is important — "perhaps especially" in the U.S. religionnews.com/2025/10/08/i...

In private audience Pope Leo XIV encourages Latino Catholics serving fearful U.S. immigrants

VATICAN CITY (RNS) — ‘He treated us like dignitaries. He sent a message by having us there. He lifted us,’ said Elizabeth Román, president of the National Catholic Council for Hispanic Ministry.

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Cheating on your husband and mocking and abusing the least of these. And on camera making a show for everyone to see.

Grounds for impeachment.

It is the job of the Attorney General of the United States to represent the country, not the President.

Her legal analyses of Executive Branch actions—minus classified information—are the property of the American public.
