Republican Senators, with an assist from Sen. John Fetterman, voted down an attempt to block the Trump administration’s missile strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats. interc.pt/4o9CBur

John Fetterman, D-Pa., sits on the steps of the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 1, 2025, in Washington, overlaid with the headline, "Fetterman Is Sole Democrat to Vote Against Blocking Caribbean Drug Boat Attacks," and the DEK, "It was the first time members of Congress were put on record about whether they supported or opposed the president’s war in the Caribbean."

Straight to jail:

- Stephen Miller
- Hegseth
- Noem
- Homan
- Bondi

Just for these ICE attacks, just for starters. Plenty more should follow.

Prosecuting Trump - if he doesn’t croak in office - is harder thanks to fascist SCOTUS (most of whom should be impeached). But state courts can do it.

Minimum demands from here on:
- Abolish ICE immediately
- Prosecute and jail all ICE leaders nationwide, and any ICE goon who can be proven to have violated the Constitution
- Prosecute and jail all Trump administration officials responsible, inc. Cabinet level
- Abolish Dept of Homeland Security

For those of you who don't understand: cancer is something that has to be removed in its entirety, or it will grow back.

This is 100% the AG calling for the absolute genocide of trans people.

In a press release, Texas Attorney General calls "transgenderism" a "corrupted ideology" that is "a cancer on our culture."

This is openly genocidal rhetoric about trans people from a sitting AG.

A press release dated October 7, 2025, with the headline: “Attorney General Ken Paxton Launches Undercover Operations to Infiltrate and Uproot Leftist Terror Cells in Texas After Increased Political Violence.” The statement claims rising left-wing violence, referencing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and outlines Paxton’s directive for undercover investigations. A highlighted quote from Paxton reads: “Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people.” The text further accuses the radical Left of fostering political violence, referencing incidents involving Antifa-like groups and a supposed assassin tied to transgender movements. It also notes that President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, with Paxton vowing sweeping investigations into radical leftist groups.

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

BREAKING:

The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

NEWSMAX: The Insurrection Act. Is that going to be formally invoked?

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

The home of South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein was destroyed by a fire caused by an explosion on Saturday after she blocked the Department of Justice's request for a full voter registration list for the state—and authorities are investigating it as an arson attack.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.
