NEW: In August, the nursing home industry gave Trump's Super PAC $5M and had a private lunch with him at his golf course.
They asked him to repeal a rule that would have increased nursing home staffing.

My bill to reinstate the stock transfer tax is gaining traction, and that momentum could not be more important right now.
SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground.

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor? I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”

There are millions of abandoned oil wells across the United States. Some have begun to leak mysteriously, shooting geysers of toxic water into the sky.
Now, a group of unlikely activists in Texas is making sure no one forgets they need to be cleaned up.

Today in NYC #LaborHistory: The New York City subway, the first rapid-transit system in America, opens. More than 100 workers died during the construction of the first 13 miles of tunnels and track – October 27, 1904
Funding for infrastructure projects is not a political pawn. New Yorkers reject this asinine, authoritarian move.
And we will not back down.
Man who has read one (1) book on history: "as history teaches us."
Also, look, I know it's not the point, but EVERYONE deserves peace. You don't have to "earn" peace. It should be the default!
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is horrific, it's likely to lead to a very dark spiral that will worsen political violence, and it is also a byproduct of a profoundly broken society awash in 400 million guns.
The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...
This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.
He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.
It really is so striking how much The Discourse operates untethered from…what we actually know. The killer is still at large! We have no idea who did it! Seems pretty important to get that sorted.
This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California.
Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."
Whoops! The state Office of Cannabis Management sent letters to nearly 200 licensed cannabis dispensaries today informing them they will need to move locations because the agency miscalculated how far away they are from local schools. www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2025/...

NEW: Indigenous activists opposed to Nevada’s Thacker Pass lithium mine have for years been surveilled by law enforcement agencies and the company behind the mine, records show.
“They treat us like we’re domestic terrorists,” an organizer said.
This exposé by @rollingstone.com is worth reading!
Now, @nyccomptroller.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social is poised to protect NYC’s pensions and the planet by moving money from dirtier to cleaner money managers.
Big: that can counter right wing pressure!
