I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Hope you check out "The Daily Dean." Today's topic: Why didn't Pam Bondi investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019?! She investigated and prosecuted others for sex crimes versus children--so why not Epstein?! youtu.be/7Gxzb1z8yhc?...

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free. I've never owed him anything. Let me tell you what a traitor is -- a traitor is an American that serves foreign countries."

Trump orders his DOJ to investigate only Democrats mentioned in the Epstein Files. He then tells Rs to vote to release them.

My take on Trump's moves to gaslight Americans into thinking he wants it all out there & how the US Atty/SDNY is about to step in it big time.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.
NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

It's pretty fascinating seeing New Yorkers lose their minds (derogatory) about Mamdani.

His vision for NYC is better than Cuomo's.

Also: Cuomo's actions and decisions literally killed New Yorkers. How could anyone trust him to lead this city?

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Gov. Pritzker on Federal agents swarming a Halloween parade in Chicago:

“Don't believe it when they tell you that they're busting the worst of the worst, gangs, or gang members. They're attacking peaceful neighborhoods and terrorizing kids in Halloween parades.”

I’m honored to be endorsed by @votersoftomorrow.org and I’m eager to work with them and other young leaders both on the campaign trail and in Congress!
@katmabu.bsky.social has put herself on the line to protect our communities from ICE and now she’s being prosecuted for daring to dissent.

We’re proud to stand with Kat and the rest of the “Broadview Six” against these trumped-up charges. And we’re proud to support Kat for Congress.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and scared and sad, remind yourself of what you can do and then do it

Got extra cash? Donate to a food pantry

Extra time? Phone bank or canvas

Have little kids? Model kindness and communal care

Do what you can and push to do a little more than you think you can

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

Kristi Noem says “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained."

Tell that to George Retes. This U.S. Army veteran and American citizen was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by ICE while simply trying to get to work.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.
