On September 20th in Austin, Texas, a DoorDash driver was shot in the back by ICE officers. His wife and attorney have been denied access to see him. This is Trump's vicious and violent America. Status Coup's Phillip Hawkins explains.

How do I know that this “massive deal” with Belarus for potash is another Trump post I will be bringing back months from now to show it was another big promise that never happened, along with hundreds of others?

A huge difference between MAGA types and others is MAGA confuses wishful thinking, bias and emotionally charged rhetoric for truth. I dig reasoned arguments supported by evidence...plus compassion as a default, not exclusion. And I'm sure that's true for pretty much all of us here.

This is stunning reporting: Donald Trump’s so-called “Project Freedom” reportedly collapsed after Saudi Arabia blocked the U.S. military from using key Saudi bases and airspace for the operation, according to new reporting from NBC News. Link to the article in the reply.

Hi @scaramucci.bsky.social I retweeted your "woodchipper" post on X yesterday (it was a good one!) and I also replied to you. I was wondering if you were placed in Twitter Jail after that post? Because I was. For the next 6 days. Does this seem right to you?

STOLTENBERG: My country, Norway, borders Russia. Just on other side of our land border, we see highest concentration of nuclear weapons in the world: missiles, submarines, bombers. These weapons are not directed at Norway — they're directed at United States.

This time Trump presumably intends to have at his disposal a Pete Hegseth–directed military “sophisticated” enough to ensure he or his chosen successor doesn't lose an election. Enter ICE.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

If Trump was 100% guilty before any of the Epstein files were released, now he’s closer to 600%, 700%, even 800% guilty. MAGA math works both ways.

The global economy is shifting, but Canada isn't retreating. Our economy has added over 180,000 new jobs in the last three months — that’s real results as we work to empower Canadian workers and businesses and create new opportunities at home and abroad.

And now a word from AOC.
AOC on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's surprise resignation from Congress:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."

Andrew Cuomo just moved to an $8300 a month apartment in Sutton Place and is still registered to vote at his billionaire brother-in-law Kenneth Cole’s Westchester mansion
Andrew Cuomo © @andrewcuomo • 10m
Somewhere last night in New York City, a single mother and her children slept at a homeless shelter because you, assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani are occupying her rent controlled apartment.
You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman. You've had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person. You are actually very rich.
Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria. That should be housing for someone who needs it.
We are in the middle of a historic affordability crisis. Millions of low income New Yorkers need this apartment and an apartment like it. Yet your apartment remains rented to rich people who don't need it.
Today, I am calling on you to move out immediately and give your affordable housing back to an unhoused family who need it. Leaders must show moral clarity. Time to move out.

Trump is dismissing IRS Commissioner Billy Long, the sixth person to lead the agency THIS YEAR. Trump hasn't even been in office 7 full months yet. Bessent will be the 7th to lead the agency, in the absence of a named commissioner. Who will be the eighth? Also, 25% of the employees are gone.

Today we were rear-ended by a Tesla in a parking lot. It was minor (thank God), but our car is 13 so it's concerning. She admitted fault & felt really bad. She was also annoyed & surprised that her Tesla didn't beep a warning. For me, this felt very timely.
