Trump is trying to legitimize his unlawful, anti-Black smear campaign against Governor Lisa Cook. But we see this is for what it is. Trump must take his grubby little hands off the Federal Reserve and stop this brazen power grab.

'Abolish ICE,' Say Potential 2028 Candidates AOC and Khanna After Latest Shooting in NYC
Progressive leaders demand an end to ICE after a shooting in NYC. A 5-year-old witnessed his father being shot by ICE agents. Democrats call to abolish ICE, protect children, and hold rogue agents accountable. What kind of country traumatizes children? Abolish ICE NOW. #EndICE

This is fantastic news. The biggest problem with this is that if all the nations of earth create similar tax policies, the few billionaires who might otherwise flee will remain in your country for not having a more advantageous nation to which they can retreat. We'd be stuck with them.

Trump is spending the final stretch campaigning in states he won by double digits because people in every single one of these states know the affordability crisis is not a hoax. They know healthcare cuts to give billionaires a tax cut don’t help them fill the gas tank. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

We’ve dispensed with even the pretense that Trump’s super PAC is “independent” from him — the whole reason it could raise hundreds of millions of dollars in the first place, according to the logic of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Reminder: Last June, a pastor filmed federal immigration agents detaining someone in her church parking lot. When I asked DHS at the time, they denied it happened. It wasn't until last month — *more than a year later* — that DHS finally acknowledged the incident. religionnews.com/2026/09/30/t...

Do federal immigration agents make arrests at churches? Depends on what day you ask.
(RNS) — Over the past year, the Trump administration has issued contradictory and, at times, seemingly false statements about whether federal agents have conducted operations at churches.

I’m glad more people are pointing this out. I talked about it it a few weeks ago w/ @janus.bsky.social Companies are attempting a sleight of hand where they capture data but argue because of how it’s processed it’s not “recording” and is thus private. They are still surveillance devices!

We can’t just change the definition of ‘recording’
