Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Sex traffickers should face consequences for their crimes. No more backroom deals.

We must pass my Courtney Wild Reinforcing Crime Victims' Rights Act to hold Epstein's accomplices accountable and ensure sex traffickers get more than a slap on the wrist.
Supreme Court rejects Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction
Maxwell was convicted for her role in recruiting and grooming girls who were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein.

Lmao at no point here does she say "No, there are no photos of Donald Trump with half-naked young women," she just goes straight to attacking Whitehouse. I'm not sure how she could've made him look guiltier unless she'd actually thrown the original photos at the senators.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

I knew there must be a hitch if “heritage Americans” are defined as those whose ancestors fought in the Civil War (as mine did). And here it is from the term’s lead proponent: “the majority of blacks have demonstrated that they cannot function within the old European cultural standards.” Nice.

The nativist right keeps talking about “heritage Americans.” It's a buzzword engineered to move the goalposts on immigration even further, argues @alibreland.bsky.social.
Are You a ‘Heritage American’?
Why the far right wants to know if your ancestors were here during the Civil War.

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

NEW: I talked to scholars who study political contagion about how America’s freefall could affect the rest of the world. They are… concerned. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Is America contagious?
Scholars in political extremism are documenting the global spread of right-wing populism.
