Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

The Portland mayor will have more support than Kristi Noem and the Trump administration when it comes to federalizing and occupying cities.

She’s safely on top of a building looking down at reporters and a guy in a chicken suit. Mayor Wilson is standing up for Portland. She’s against them!

Hey Speaker Johnson, swear in Adelita Grijalva. Or are you too scared that Trump and your other GOP buddies are in the Epstein files?

Jeffries: “Republicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

And there it is.

Trump would choose to be a dictator rather than let people find out that he’s a pedophile.

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision is not expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

I think Trump would rather Congress never vote to reopen the government than let Adelrita Grijalva trigger the Epstein Files discharge. And I bet he doesn’t have a plan other than the Insurrection Act.

I’m don’t think there’s any doubt about this.

Republicans and Trump are absolutely shitting themselves over the evidence against Trump in the Epstein files.

Hey "MAGA" federal employees:

Many of you are furloughed because of the shutdown.

You just spent your last paycheck.

Now he's floating the idea that you won't get backpay.

You voted for this.

The fact that Elon musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon all being in the Epstein files dropped out of the news way too fast www.bbc.com/news/article...

Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in new Epstein files

The documents by the estate of convicted paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein were released by Congressional Democrats.

one thing I learned during 2020 is that "less than lethal" munitions are explicitly designed to be shot into the ground so they lose velocity and bounce up into people and the reason I didn't know that before is literally NO ONE has ever deployed them that way.

Reporter's notebook: I actually began working on this story shortly after footage of the incident showed up last month.

But by the time I finally got ahold of folks, the story grew: 2 *other* faith leaders I spoke with *also* reported being shot w/pepper balls while protesting this ICE facility.

The habeas petition for Byron Rovidio Marin (the guy held w/o charge in a hospital for 37 days after ICE broke his leg) has been unsealed.

@davidjbier.bsky.social @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

48. On August 27, 2025, CBP arrested Petitioner in Carson, California.
During his arrest, Petitioner sustained severe injuries to his leg and CBP transported
him to UCLA-Harbor Medical Center in Carson, California where he was
hospitalized as a “custody” of ICE. Petitioner remains in the custody of ICE at
UCLA-Harbor Medical Center with private contractor guards posted inside his
patient room at all times and controlling and limiting access to Petitioner by
medical personnel, attorneys, and family members.
49. ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings or charged him
with being in violation of immigration law. Upon information and belief, no
warrant for Petitioner’s arrest has been issued.
