FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?
NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

This is the whole "don't believe your eyes and ears, believe me" totally in action. Reagan literally said everything Canada put in the ad. Not out of context. Trump is asking his followers to not believe it, even though it is true.

The black president getting a Nobel Peace Prize while he doesn't have one haunts Trump everyday while he is awake and in his dreams. It is glorious to see.

This "tough person" performance by Bondi is all for an audience of one.
Bondi to Blumenthal: "You lied. How dare you? I'm a career prosecutor. Don't you ever challenge my integrity. Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial."

I am sure it is just pure coincidence that everyone ICE is rounding up and abusing are non-white. Because, as we know, no criminal is white.
DHS's Tricia McLaughlin: "It is a disgusting smear to say there is racial profiling going on."

I feel no different today than I did yesterday.
I wish mothers of slain school children were given the same respect and platform as Erika got tonight.

All we had to do was vote for the competent, compassionate black woman. That’s it.

Well, I was technically wrong. Fitzpatrick of PA also voted no. Good for him, I guess. But we are fucked anyway.
This is all so tiring. The performative nonsense by some of these Republicans voting “no”. Dollars to a gazillion donuts all the “no” votes flip, except for Massie.

Inappropriate or not, for the White House to call for Moran’s suspension or termination, and then have it happen, is blanket and clear authoritarianism. That’s the real story and should be covered as such.
my hot take is that this is an inappropriate thing for a journalist covering the white house to post.
Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Zelenskyy flew half-way around the world to sign over 50% of Ukraine's rare earth minerals to the U.S. Talk about a "thank you".
He gets railroaded in an unfamiliar environment, in a non-native language.
Zelenskyy's not the problem.
Trump and Vance as compromised Kremlin assets are the problem.

POTUS press sec says the medicaid portal being down was accidental and should be back up soon.
And we are supposed to take her word for it. 🤨
Has the Medicaid portal ever been down like this? Did it happen directly after a federal funding freeze?
Think critically people; we may be being lied to.

I am an open minded person. I can accept that people may want a different path than I may want. Usually a R winning is not the end of the world to me.
I will never ever be able to forgive Trump and MAGA for January 6, 2021. A constitution violating, disqualifying act.
That’s why I am upset.

A few more to add to your blocklist, if you are so inclined.
I am just not in the mood to deal with trolls here.
I will have a proper conversation with anyone, but hell to the no on bullshit.

There is something deeply amusing about musklings coming here and realizing there’s no algorithm to boost their rage bait, which was their main advantage.

I know the reason BlueSky is skyrocketing followers is because Trump won and people are tired of the Twitter/X nonsense. I get it and it’s great. That’s why I joined.
That said, I would have given up joining BlueSky to have Kamala Harris as President. In a heartbeat.

Who are the news outlets to trust to hold the upcoming Trump administration accountable with hard-hitting, investigative reporting into the guaranteed corrupt and unethical activities that will occur? I feel like NYT and WaPo may have lost its way.
Who should we support with readership and dollars?
