They are not silent... they are complicit

That UN address is… wow.

The Supreme Court could say the president’s allegedly illegal actions must be put on hold while the Court reviews it. Instead, they repeatedly say Trump’s abuses must be allowed to go forward while in dispute. That’s entirely a choice. There’s no basis in law. Made the opposite call with Biden.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." (Matthew 24:36. Because some of us actually *read* the Bible.)

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

He's also open to a permanent loan situation. Reach out to me if interested and I can connect you. "Mississippi," this piece is inspired by an article titled "Jailed for Their Own Safety, 14 Mississippians Died Awaiting Mental Health Treatment." By Isabell Taft & Mollie Simon, ProPublica.

A friend of mine is an incredible artist who recently spent over 25 years incarcerated. He has created a wonderful work of art that has already been exhibited once and he would love to loan it to others who might want to exhibit it. When it is mounted, the entire piece with the frame is 48"x 67"

We’re gonna need a bigger reconstruction.

I would love to read more academic or intellectual analysis around what’s going on around the sexual politics of this whole thing, I feel unequipped to comment here because love is complicated and all that but something is happening interpersonally and systematically.

ALL of which is happening under an authoritarian POTUS. They are connected.

LinkedIn has updated its TOS (they will use our proofiles to train LLMs) and I have deleted everything there except my account (in case somebody tries to impersonate me). I'm tired on the contemporary Internet

it's really jarring to see how little media attention the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert received in comparison to the notable death of a non-elected leader of a right-wing organization.

Aside from blatantly recruiting Nazi stormtroopers, “how are we going to afford student loan forgiveness?!” — where’s the media freakout and pearl-clutching about the price of this?

This is exactly backwards. From the beginning, Kirk was the beneficiary of a large and highly organized network of dark money donors who were looking for a spokesman. No way he would have done what he did without patrons like Montgomery and Uihlein. Kirk didn't make money - money made Kirk.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

“Charlie Chaplin was willing to mock Hitler. Colbert and Kimmel were willing to mock an American president with his own authoritarian designs. What will the rest of us be willing to do in order to stand up to fascism?” Al Franken writes. Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Breaking: LOS ANGELES (AP) — California governor signs a law banning most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during some operations.

A president weaponizing government power to silence speech he doesn't like is a crisis for our democracy. We must stand with those who refuse to bow to political blackmail — and call out those, like ABC, who cave to a wannabe king and put our rights at risk.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Well, this got rejected today as a short position paper from CHR so I suppose I can share it now: arxiv.org/pdf/2508.00095 Here’s a hopefully coherent ramble about what we’re trying to make clear:

Tom Homan took a bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent the right way. by Ezra Klein

Amongst the many, many other faults and follies of the party, perhaps the single most dangerous problem with the Democratic Party today is their incessant habit of reinforcing the idea that there is absolutely *no* principle that matters, no policy that is sacrosanct that they will stand behind.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

I was just thinking about bot activity on this platform.

What’s the insurance premium like for Russian CEOs? Additional risk if your residence has more than one floor and windows at that level?

😂😂😂 Oh they’re running with it. Had the pope been a republican from the US they would’ve tried to have him canonized.

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

“Lord, what a difference a day makes.”

Disney now has a 5 step process to cancel their account. I walk you through it because it shouldn't be this annoying. Also, after you cancel, invest in people *actually* committed to free speech. Welcome your support to my daily human rights newsletter ❤️✊🏽 www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

if you have any other tom homan scoops, i respectfully beg you to send them to me. marisakabas.04 on signal.

As far as I can tell the Trump Administration’s stance is that he took $50,000 in cash for totally innocent reasons and that thinking otherwise is deep state nonsense. No, it’s not plausible.

“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.” Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

What a hot mess. Official US social media accounts are now contradicting the published predidential order, saying it doesn't apply to existing H1B holders (the execive order says it does) and existing H1Bs would no be turned back on the border (the order says they would)
