Strategic call for Comey: seek bill of particulars to demand EDVA explain convoluted charges in detail or let this mess go to a jury, where confusion alone may create reasonable doubt? As former prosecutors, Comey and Fitzgerald must be cringing at the amateurism. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

NEW: Jeremy Carl, a top Trump nominee, deleted 1000s of social media posts, many w/inflammatory commentary — including incendiary posts about race, claiming “peaceful coexistence” w/Democrats is impossible - even a call for a political opponent to face the death penalty. www.cnn.com/2025/09/25/p...

GOP lawmakers cite Georgia’s experiment as a model for the federal Medicaid work requirements set to take effect in 2027. A new report by a government spending watchdog found that the nation’s only Medicaid work requirement program spent twice as much on administrative costs as on health care.

Are you okay with this, GOP? Wait, don’t answer that.

If you voted for Trump for economic reasons, you got got.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

REPOST if you stand with Jimmy Kimmel!

The bottom line is this. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

Well said!

For Charlie Kirk’s sake, we should all tone down the political rhetoric, right?

“.. would not have happened if I were President.” @wsj.com #Ukraine www.wsj.com/world/these-...

@wsj.com epically failed with that headline yesterday. Using right wing nutters as a “source” was amateur hour.

Los Angeles County health officials are urging residents to get vaccinated after a school-age child died of a rare measles-related complication, years after recovering from the illness.

NEW: Investigators say the Evergreen High School shooter was "radicalized by some extreme, extremist network" and appeared to be "on a mission" to kill classmates. www.9news.com/article/news...

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

“I’ll end that war in 24 hours.”

JUST IN: Inflation accelerated in August as Americans paid more for gasoline and groceries. Over the last 12 months, consumer prices have risen 2.9%.

While the left is universally proclaiming that violence is never the solution, MAGA is inciting war on X. This is going to get uglier.

“Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence,” Giffords said.

Trump has turned the National Guard into mall cops. Cost? $1 million a day.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Does pushing India closer to China and Russia make America great again? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...

This morning 9 former CDC Directors, whose tenures date back to 1977, published this warning in the NYT: RFK Jr is a danger to public health. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Extraordinary new detail about the FBI purge. *Senior officials were asked to fire lower level officials tagged by online right wingers as being anti-Trump. *When they asked for a reason - required by law - they were not given any. They refused. Then they were fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/politic...

New records reveal that White House budget director Russell Vought is set to have vast authority to approve or deny billions of dollars from federal programs approved by Congress. This is a clear overreach of executive power.

These dipshits left schedules and protocol details on a printer in Alaska. Nothing earthshaking - menu for a lunch that didn't happen, seating chart for the bilat, revelation that Trump gave Putin a present - but it's yet another embarrassing opsec fail for a guy who ran on protecting secret info.

If it’s not leaks on the signal chain it’s papers left behind in the printer. It’s an incompetent kakistocracy. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

Trump’s DOJ: Throwing a sandwich at a law-enforcement official is a felony. Also Trump’s DOJ: Encouraging a mob to “kill” police officers during an insurrectionist attack on the Capitol is fine — and won’t prevent you from getting a job at the DOJ. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Priorities.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

We’re somewhere in the Pacific…cathartic…and the right kind of orange hues.

Trump is levying more taxes on US consumers than any president in US history. And he has built a massive propaganda machine to explain to people that he's not dong what he's actually doing. www.ft.com/content/50f8...

What a graph

RIP to a Chicago great .

Good on Matt Drudge for posting these links to articles (one academic, the other from a political blog) about the correlation between Trumpism and malevolent and psychopathic personality traits.

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is a direct threat to public health. "Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is planning to remove all the members of an advisory panel that determines what cancer screenings and other preventive health measures insurers must cover."

Ahem

I bet they were...👇
