Quite a few of "and this surprises you" accounts are catching blocks today. Must be something in the air.

Kamala Harris predicted a lot of what is unfolding today during her campaign and yet so much of the coverage at the time was as if she was taking crazy pills.

RIP, king. It's said often of those lost to us, but it's never more true than here: you were too good for this world.

If you're in Portland, go take some video of how nothing is going on there. Document that Trump is invading for no reason.

One of the best writers I ever read, and tragically underrated. Kaleb Horton understood the Central Valley of California in a way that few do, and as one who grew up there I appreciated that viewpoint so much. We never met but he felt like family. R.I.P.

It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

definitionally you can't engage in blood libel against people who are openly rounding people up and putting them in camps and disappearing them blood libel is a whole different thing

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

Redmond, we have a problem.

His catchphrase is "You're fired" so maybe he's just nostalgic for his days at The Apprentice?

Trump demands that Microsoft fire Lisa Monaco. Anybody from the party of small government have an issue with this or nah?

When I was 11 years old, I read a book about the search for Amelia Earhart. It was very exciting! And then I moved on. Fifty-plus years later, this asshole is making me think about that again.

Guess who heard about Amelia Earhart for the first time today. Great book report if you're in grade school.

what the fuck is fuck you money for if you can’t say fuck you

Jack Smith makes a public appearance. "My career has been about the rule of law and I believe that today it is under attack like in no other period in our lifetimes," he said at George Mason University last week. George Mason University!!! The one with the Antonin Scalia School of Law!!!

Taking the L. If you see Trump II as an experiment in what boundaries to push, the result here is that speech restrictions are a losing battle, and nobody has to comply in advance.

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

I am trying to solve for X and oh my god.

I argued earlier that DOJ might be hoping that a GJ no-billed poor Lindsey. www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/25/w... Didn't happen. Game on.

If you’re a comedian I know who’s doing the RIYADH comedy festival, it’s not too late to drop out. The money you make will poison you. You have fucked up & you can correct the big bad mistake you’re making. Also the ppl I know who are doing it are SO WILDLY RICH already. Christ.

Undersold in the dialogue: USDOJ still ate shit and got no-billed on a third of the charges they sought

We're number 57.

i maintain that heretics & apostates are much more useful terms than "not real christians"

An ICE agent threw a mom to the ground. You know how she can file a complaint with DHS? SHE CAN'T. Trump closed that office. www.propublica.org/article/home...

Rep. Clark: When you control the White House, the Senate, and the House, whether or not the government shuts down is solely a Republican decision.

Hey, whatever you do, don't call these street thugs who are snatching up immigrants and violently assaulting women "Nazis" because that will hurt their poor little feelings.

goddamn this is good

I mean, you knew it was coming

Also: when a government acts brutally and lawlessly and immorally, but tells you that pointing those things out incites violence and terrorism, that government and its agents are entitled to no respect or credence.

Remember that the Trump Administration demands you idolize these agents and not condemn them. But they’re Gestapo trash.

Anyone with a copy of that memo should definitely send it to Chris but while you’re at it would a copy to me hurt? NO

it sure ain't fuckin subtle

She is SO CLOSE to getting it.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

I'm not sure most Americans would understand @himself.bsky.social observation that Bluesky "sometimes has the worst features of a small community in the throes of a Tidy Towns competition gone feral," but it is apt. www.programmablemutter.com/p/the-villag...

I see its time for Meghan McCain's quarterly roasting.

Don’t get me wrong, it continues to be very scary that the Trump administration keeps desperately trying to create Reichstag fires and Horst Wessel Power Hours, it’s just also very noticeable that they somehow keep failing to stick the landing.

Such little, little people.

Once again, if you are just repeating shit from this administration, including especially Kash Patel, you are most likely repeating lies and spreading misinformation

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot. Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

The White House was controlling the teleprompter. The White House videographer triggered the escalator. But we're gonna hear about it anyway to distract from how weak and feckless this administration is.

You know who else used a Sharpie to fabricate evidence? Sharpiegate 2 is so much stupider and so much worse.

Even the phrase "liberal bias" is misleading. They're not going after "liberal bias," but *criticism of the regime.* Those are two different things.

Pray to God that normies learn one thing from this disaster: You don’t have to choose between groceries and human rights. You have cheap eggs and allow trans people to exist. Completely compatible.

Siri, what's the opposite of sanewashing
