Mike Johnson is a Trump-sucking criminal and traitor to his oath and the American people. All MAGAts are traitor scum.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

I think tariffs hurt consumers, police shouldn't wear masks, and the President must obey the law - and shouldn't use his office to run personal profit-making schemes on the side.

This apparently makes me a radical Marxist.

The lawyer for Marimar Martinez (the woman shot by CBP on October 3) seems to think the communications that led to Tricia McLaughlin's claims about the shooting might start disappearing -- he's asking for a preservation order.

MOTION FOR A PRESERVATION ORDER
Defendant, Marimar Martinez, by and through her attorneys, Cheronis & Parente LLC,
pursuant to the relevant provisions of Rule 2 and 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, as
well as the Due Process and Effective Assistance of Counsel Clauses of the Fifth and Sixth
Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, respectfully requests that the Court enter a
preservation order for the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to preserve and
maintain any and all records, emails, text messages, documents, notes and other materials related to
the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Ms. Marimar Martinez and the gathering of
information for the October 4, 2025, press release from Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued
by DHS titled “Vehicles Again Used as Weapon in Attack against DHS Law Enforcement, Officers
Forced to Fire Weapon on Armed Woman in Chicago.” In support thereof, Ms. Martinez states as
follows:

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.
