WATCH: “Pure vengeance.”

Former Trump WH lawyer Ty Cobb tells @timmiller.bsky.social “narcissist” Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against NY AG Tish James (+ others) — and pointing to his own massive fraud crimes is no defense at all.

47’s allies are raging over the Oct 18 "No Kings” protests. The unanimity of messaging ("terrorists") means it’s almost certainly coordinated by Stephen Miller. Yet it’s backfiring: Dems & rally organizers are using it to galvanize attendance, which will likely succeed.

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth.

I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Alt text:
Statement from Fenway Health explaining that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, they can no longer provide medical gender-affirming care such as hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, but all other services for patients of all ages will continue unchanged.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

He was caring for his 5-year-old son with brain cancer. Then he was detained by ICE.
