The Republican Party is telling us, with brimming confidence and zero shame, that it intends to make it harder for its opponents to vote and easier to control the outcome of elections. They are prepared to use every tool available to them — legal or not — to stay in power. bsky.app/profile/marc...
NEW: According to Punchbowl News, Senate Majority Leader John Thune cut a deal with Democrats to fund everything but ICE, including TSA, but TRUMP BLOCKED IT. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g727...
None of this is normal
Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...
This is the way.
F*ck ICE.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
🚨BREAKING: The Virginia Senate passed a constitutional amendment Friday that would allow lawmakers to redraw the state’s congressional districts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Congress must:
✅ Make federal officers liable under §1983
✅ No exceptions. No carve-outs.
❗ THE DEMAND
Congress must:
✅ Make federal officers liable under §1983
✅ No exceptions. No carve-outs.
If they won’t:
🛑 DEFUND & DISMANTLE ICE
⏰ ACT NOW
The federal funding deadline
expires January 2026
Accountability delayed
= accountability denied
📣 CALL. EMAIL. DEMAND ACTION.
🚨 WHY IT MATTERS
The Supreme Court gutted Bivens, creating:
• Federal agents above the law
• Victims with no real remedy
• Oversight with no consequences
That’s not democracy.
That’s immunity.
⚖️ TWO-TIER JUSTICE SYSTEM ⚖️
Did you know this?
👮♂️ State & Local Police
✔️ Can be sued personally
✔️ Law: 42 U.S.C. § 1983
🕶️ Federal Agents (ICE • DHS • FBI)
❌ Usually cannot be sued
❌ Shielded by weakened Bivens doctrine
Same power.
No accountability.
Bragging that you just passed your 3rd dementia test
is a great way of telling us
they've made you take 3 dementia tests
NEW: Trump used his first veto to block a unanimously approved Colorado drinking water project.
Lauren Boebert, whose district the pipeline project is in, slammed Trump, suggesting it was retaliation for her signing the discharge petition to release the Epstein files www.9news.com/article/news...
Turns out elections still matter, organizing still works, and Republicans don’t automatically get whatever they want just because they say so. Congrats to Democrats in Iowa for showing up and blocking a supermajority.
BREAKING: A family singing troupe has fled the country on foot in order not to play the Kennedy Center!
Ex FTC chair Lina Khan to @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social on Paramount & Netflix vying for Warners: “Both of these deals look illegal — what’s striking is in the Trump administration, everything is up for sale… maybe they’ll look the other way in terms of what he and his family get.”
WTF?
While 42 million Americans are wondering how to feed their families during a shutdown, our Vice President thought it was the perfect time for a cringeworthy Halloween post.
So the Vice President’s Halloween message is: "Trick-or-treat… just don’t expect the treat part!"
✔️ The Senate GOP has the power right now to end the shutdown without Democrats.
❌ They’re just choosing not to use it.
✅ Verdict: Anyone blaming Democrats is lying.
It's not hard to find this information. Thank you for coming to my TED talk and your attention to this matter.
As I sit here in a polling center, waiting for voters to come in and vote, I did a little research:
It only takes 51 Senators to end the filibuster and reopen the government.
Republicans have 53. If they wanted to stop this shutdown, they could — right now.
The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.
Trump just won’t release it.
440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.
“Dysfunctional government” doesn’t even begin to describe this.
1.4 million civilian federal employees didn’t get a paycheck. And the part no one’s talking about: even if the government reopens tomorrow, we’ll be right back on the edge by November 21—the next shutdown deadline.
Chaos on repeat.

“Forget about the polls. Go into the last eight days of this election assuming you are five points behind.”
