A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Republican senators are trying to sneak in a nationwide abortion ban. Hear that again: Republican senators are trying to *sneak* in a *nationwide abortion ban*.

ABORTION CARE IS HEALTHCARE.

#shutdown #GOPshutdown #abortion #healthcare
Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations.

Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it.

F the patriarchy.

Senile Satan is straight-up lying again. After away food and healthcare from millions - this is his go-to defense. Obama has never made any profits or royalties from the ACA, ever.

Trump thought that if he stopped collecting jobs data, no one could challenge his made up facts. Hello!
🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

@velshi.com Ali, I am an AF veteran from the "Police Action" period in South Korea. At no time would I have behaved as these masked "soldiers" are, at the behest of the Trump Administration. Nor would either of my three sons or my grandson. Who are these people? Pls do a piece on this!

Did you ever wonder how Mike Johnson views himself? He presents himself as a principled person. Yet he is owned by Trump, essentially under Trump's control. When his son looks at him, who does he see? Does he see a person he feels proud of, one who he aspires to emulate? Or does he see a puppet?

#ResignationInProtest, Skadden Arps edition
A Skadden attorney resigned today, citing the firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump amid pressure campaign on law firms.

“[I]f my employer cannot stand up for the rule of law, then I cannot ethically continue to work for them,” the former Skadden lawyer, Brenna Trout Frey, wrote on LinkedIn.

A detailed and astounding report on ICE’s meteoric rise of funding and hiring and how it is creating an undertrained, overly aggressive massive masked police force. Great work, Garrett M. Graff @vermontgmg.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea
I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

While Trump got booed on the East Coast at the FIFA Club World Cup in New Jersey, JD Vance got booed at Disney Land in California.

The odd MAGA couple is a literal shame from coast to coast.

Please pass it on!

THIS IS SICK: John Barrasso, a sitting U.S. Senator and doctor, lied on national TV about Medicaid recipients.

Kristen Welker exposed the lie with one sentence: “92% are either working or qualify for an exemption.”

Facts don’t matter to the GOP when the goal is to paint poor people as disposable.

People deported in violation of court orders. Kids deported while undergoing life-saving treatment. ICE at schools and churches.

This isn’t “law and order.” This is chaos. And it puts all of our rights at risk.

If there is a Epstein List, it's likely not "Hollywood." It's much more likely to be:

Heads of State (Presidents, PMs, Royals)
Intelligence
Finance (e.g., hedge funds, private equity)
Law (Justices, judges, prosecutors)
Ambassadors
Industry titans.

Because that list got buried!
