"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," an agent can be heard saying in the video. "Hey, I can give it through the door," a man is heard saying in response. "You can do it right here," the agent says, pointing to the ground in front of himself. on.nbcboston.com/3phHyWE

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

In dissent as to the stay, Justice Kagan — joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson — lays out the lawlessness of the majority plainly. "Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars." Order/dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Fun story this morning. I spoke with Curtis Evans, the retired Marine in the viral photo below who took part in the anti-ICE protest at Broadview. He's a thoughtful guy, well read and with a dry sense of humor. Story @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

find me another Dem that wouldn't be too afraid to do this. seriously.

"Fifty-three percent of Democratic voters said they preferred politicians described as similar to Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani, while 33 percent favored those similar to Schumer, Jeffries and Pelosi. Fourteen percent didn’t choose."

Unnerving point from @bcfinucane.bsky.social: The White House appears to be quietly trying to get Republicans to formally turn over a large swath of Congress's warmaking powers to Trump. That's what this new draft bill would do. From our pod discussion: newrepublic.com/article/2007...

I love what Russell Wilson is doing out there. The results aren't there yet, admittedly, but the process—sprinting in place for four seconds and then throwing the ball off the goal post at 107mph—is sound. Stay the course. This is for sure going to work.

The worst team in each division should be knocked into the Terrible League the next year so that we don't need to see the Giants play like this again.

Sweden ran a study of ~2.5 million kids in full sibling pairs across more than two decades of records, and found a hazard ratio of ~1.0 for control/treatment, meaning there was no difference in neurodevelopmental disorders with or without Tylenol use. RFK can pound sand.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

the fact they're out here running "abigail spanberger will trans your kids" against one of the most conservative candidates out of the Democratic Party is a great example of why actually standing up for trans people, especially kids, is the only way to go

First time since the merger that a football team has won the first three games of the season while being down in the last minute. And it's my Buccaneers!

For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

If Bash was honest she would also note that many of his voters didn't know what Trump was saying due to media failure, or didn't believe it when people told them, or thought he was just talking big.

Trump posts a DM to his AG that she needs to prosecute his political enemies. Trump’s Border Czar took a $50k bribe from the FBI, Trump’s DOJ to shut it down. Trump issued a $100k afee for H1B visas, restricting immigrants into US unless company pays This is just the last 24 hrs. Sheesh.

lol. Emil Bove intervened. The guy that Senate Republicans just confirmed for a lifetime position on the federal bench. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

"Homan indicated he would facilitate securing contracts for them in exchange for money once he was in office... "On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Ayo wtf is going on, man.

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

speculation: Trump’s obsession with the autopen pardons is because his guys are making him sign internal pardons by hand on a regular basis, which is work and he resents it

New filing: "Trump v. New York Times (defamation etc.)" Doc #5: ORDER striking the complaint. Signed by Senior District Judge Steven D. Merryday on 9/19/2025. (CJO) (Entered: 09/19/2025) Download PDF | View Full Case #CL71354540

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

As a history guy, what you are seeing right now is a concerted effort to write Kirk's history as the right wants it to be remembered. The only way to guarantee their version makes it is to ensure it's the *only* version. It's like book burning, but for opinions/speech.

“Too many people—too many Americans—are fearing our government. I want Putin, Xi, Kim, et al. to fear our government. I do not want newspapers, law firms, and comedians to fear our government.” open.substack.com/pub/jaynordl...

"President Donald Trump is expected to fire the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after his office was unable to find incriminating evidence of mortgage fraud against New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to sources."

Trump’s Department of Education says it will partner with right-wing think tanks and organizations such as Turning Point USA to develop a new curriculum for “patriotic education” in American classrooms.

There's so much to unpack -- his childish understanding of the world, his raw nerve of grievances, his sociopathy -- but I can't get past what a whiny, pathetic loser you'd have to be as president to stamp your little feet and cry that the media isn't "allowed" to be mean to you. Mom said so guys!

Trying to remember, what is this sort of thing called? 🤔🤔🤔

DOGE accidentally gave out 5 months of paid vacation to many federal workers. So efficiency.

Can we have a program similar to Run for Something, but instead it's Stand for Something for current office holders.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Hepatitis B vaccine is given in infancy because children who get infected before the age of 4 cannot clear the virus and are at very high risk of developing chronic (lifelong) infection RFK Jr wants to delay hepatitis B vaccination in kids until— wait for it—age 4

This evening I'm on the side of Bill Kristol, John Yoo, and Karl Rove?

I recall earlier this year going to the local offices of Sen. Schumer and Gillibrand, begging them to respond strongly right at the beginning with a strong immune system response.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Far more dangerous than Trump, I think, is how quickly the last eight months have pulled back the curtain on America's elites and shown everyone how venal, how cowardly and how utterly mediocre the foundation of our society has been.

Money really is the root of all evil. Just look at what people are willing to give up for profit. Look at how they're willing to sell out the country and our rights for a few dollars more. A true mental illness.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Which show was threatened by the government before being pulled? The answer might (not) surprise you.

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

we are in really unsettling place that we're facing a deeply unpopular regime that is making everything appreciably worse but the people with the power to stand up to them and takes steps to maintain basic political stability are capitulating without a fight
