I know it feels pointless to speak up against this. I know you feel like it won't matter. Still, it remains imperative that we call a spade a spade (or, in this case, a traitor a traitor).

The President of the United States is sprinting to normalize the murder of journalists and dissenters.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

When a reporter on Air Force One asked President Donald Trump a question about Epstein's recently revealed emails, Trump snapped at her, responding with the phrase “Quiet, piggy.”

BLOOMBERG REPORTER: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files why not…?”

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The contrast with SNAP is deafening.

The White House is stretching well beyond what anyone could claim is legal in order to pay the troops — while simultaneously stretching beyond what’s legal to NOT pay SNAP benefits.
bbkogan.bsky.social Bobby Kogan @bbkogan.bsky.social · 28d
The White House says it’s going to use procurement dollars to illegally pay the troops for rather than do it the legal way of enacting a military pay bill.

You cannot w/ a straight face tell me using procurement dollars to pay the military adheres to the purpose statute and the Antideficiency Act.
Zoom in: Earlier in the week it was unclear whether the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) could find roughly $5.3 billion to make the military's payroll by Friday, but two White House officials tell Axios the money was found at the last minute. The OMB found: $2.5 billion from a military housing fund specified in Trump's "big beautiful bill" to continue paying housing allowances for military personnel. • $1.4 billion from the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation fund, which largely will cover U.S. Army and Air Force payroll. The account normally funds military research and was heavily relied upon two weeks ago to cover military paychecks. • $1.4 billion from a Defense Department procurement account for building U.S. Navy ships, largely to fund the Navy and Marines.

Federal judge denies LAPD emergency motion to let officers to use force against press during #NoKings protest on Saturday.

I’m hearing, unconfirmed, City Council unanimously ordered City Attorney to withdraw motion anyway. Thank you! Much needed oversight!

Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE DEFENDANTS’ EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR STAY PENDING APPEAL [98] On September 10, 2025, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction. [Dkt. 83]. Defendants filed a Notice of Appeal nearly a month later. [Dkt. 89]. The instant Ex Parte Application for Stay of the Preliminary Injunction Pending Appeal (“Application”) was filed on October 15. [Dkt. 98]. Defendants contend that immediate, ex parte relief is required in light of the “No Kings” rally scheduled to take place in Los Angeles (and across the country) on October 18. Application at 2. They also assert various “workability” concerns and other substantive arguments largely mirroring those raised and addressed in prior briefing. Id. at 12–31. To justify ex parte relief, the moving party must show that its “cause will be irreparably prejudiced if the underlying motion is heard according to regular noticed motion procedures,” and that it is “without fault in creating the crisis that requires ex parte relief, or that the crisis occurred as a result of excusable neglect.” Mission Power Eng’g Co. v. Cont’l Cas. Co., 883 F. Supp. 488, 492 (C.D. Cal. 1995). Here, Defendants waited five weeks after the Court issued its injunction to file their Application, during which time the Court presumes Defendants complied with its order to disseminate the injunction. Furthermore, they waited almost three weeks from when they first indicated to Plaintiffs that they would be seeking a stay. Declaration of Peter Bibring in Opposition to Application ¶ 2 [Dkt. 100-1] (noting that Defendants notified Plaintiffs of their intent to move for a stay pending appeal on September 26, 2025). And Defendants waited over a week from when they first filed their notice of appeal. Indeed, although they now assert urgency given the upcoming demonstrations, the protest has been well publicized for more than ten days. See Alexa Mae Asperin, List: 'No Kings' anti-Trump protests in Southern California on Oct. 18, Fox 11 L.A. (Oct. 7, 2025 at 10:48 PT), https://www.foxla.com/news/no-kings-day-anti-trump- protests-california-oct-18. In short, Defendants have not shown any exigency not of their own creation and therefore have not shown an entitlement to extraordinary relief. Notwithstanding these procedural deficiencies, the Court will address the merits of the arguments presented. To that end, the Court will issue a substantive order on the stay request no later than October 24, 2025. Given that a substantive opposition has already been filed, the matter is deemed submitted until then. All prior orders remain in full force and effect. IT IS SO ORDERED. Page 2 of 2 CI

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

It’s like he pulled this out of Authoritarian Regimes For Dummies. This is plainly seeking to erode democratic institutions under the bs guise of restoring “law and order.” Impeach him, again, immediately.

Trump is now directing ICE to focus on Democratic-led cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York:
Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People. ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History. In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don’t hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!

It was really important for the reporter to 1) talk about he was having trouble breathing because of all the tear gas and 2) be like: your eyes are not lying to you. LASD are the agents of chaos, not the protesters.

Not just reporting, but truth telling. Yes, it sucks I have to delineate the two.
