Tylenol causes autism. Twinkies cause arthritis. Topo Chicos cause planter faschitis. Turnips cause bone cancer. Talcum powder causes Alzheimer’s. These and other reports forthcoming from Secretary Bear-Killing Heroin Addict this week.

An Arizona man is facing felony charges for threatening to shoot up a gay bar to avenge Charlie Kirk. He was convinced the shooter had "transgender ideology." Fortunately, he was stopped, but this is on the media for running with the erroneous WSJ reporting. www.azfamily.com/2025/09/19/p...

Latest projection suggests that more than 505,000 adults and kids have died due to USAID's illegal dismantling by Musk, Rubio, and Lewin Source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

Last year, prominent conservatives accused Charlie Kirk of antisemitism. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/u...

I’m sure our great Free Speech Titans like Joe Rogan and Theo Von will mercilessly and repeatedly criticize Trump. Just wait…

If you're not familiar with QAnon conspiracy dogwhistles, then you won't know that Stephen Miller just rattled off a bunch of them in a row, including "I am the storm" and "Light out of darkness." While these sound like dumb cliches on the surface, they're coded messages to Q cult adherents.

“Ernst vom Rath received a state funeral on Nov 17, 1938, with Adolf Hitler and other high-ranking Nazi officials in attendance. They used the funeral as propaganda, claiming the assassination of vom Rath by a Jew was the "first shot" of a war against Germany and that they accepted the challenge”

I have written for @atrupar.com and PN so I endorse this heartily:

Heartbreaking story of federal employee—broke and now a widower with three kids after his wife died of cancer—screwed over by Musk/DOGE cutbacks. Has this Trump voter reconsidered voting for him 2024? Read to end to find out:👇🏾 www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Mainstream media “is in long-term decline, and therefore weakest at precisely the moment it is most needed to serve as a bulwark for free expression and democracy. Perhaps that’s why the Trump administration picked it as his latest primary target.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/o...

Duncan is attempting an intriguing experiment: He’s running in this highly contested swing state and *emphasizing* his willingness to take on Trump’s lawlessness, as a former Republican. trib.al/HrWathd The idea is that at least some Republican voters are “disgusted” by Trump, as he put it.

Zuckerberg has secured a corrupt court order imposing a fine of $50k on Wynn-Williams every time she criticizes Metaa. It's a perfect demonstration of the techbros complete corruption and subversion of legal process to shield their dealings from public scrutiny. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

All of them!

Time to start another House GOP investigation into Hunter Biden, I guess.

Agree 💯. All this popularism, deliverism, abundance talk is rearranging chairs on Titanic. GOP realized—and proved—long ago that platforms and policy performance not necessary to win, yet Dems continue to believe they are sufficient to win? Absurd political myopia.

Help? Google app suddenly doesn’t work on my iPhone. Plenty of storage space on phone to open; de/reinstalled it; turned phone off/on. Tips?

Trump’s former White House attorney Ty Cobb: “These people are abandoning our constitutional rights. It’s going to be 3.5 more years of vengeance.” He calls for a presidential crimes commission, and invokes Goebbels & Hitler (as JD Vance once did) to describe Trump’s crackdown.

spread the word

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.

Sounds absurd but false equivalencies are enabling the rise of fascism by masking its predatory, expansive ambitions.

Here’s my hottest of takes: The GOP has gotten so twisted by Trump that Bush43 couldn’t beat, say, Lauren Boebert in a two-way contest for the 2028 presidential nomination.

All of this has happened before and it will happen again. www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

Look. The guys who enjoy recreational hobo slaying and jokes about incinerating fishermen just want you to show a little respect.

Trump’s FCC chair stooge acting like a middle school bully confirming they were lying all along as they distanced themselves from what was always the playbook

I’d rather have people overestimating the threat than inverse. Underestimating it allows it to escalate and you know it. Just ask the frog in the fry pan if it’s getting too warm.

Do not mock Supreme Leader Trump. Supreme Leader Trump sensitive snowflake. Supreme Leader Trump must be worshipped, revered and shown proper respect. We will come after you. Thank you for your attention to this matter. - Regime of the Golden Age & Delicate Flowers

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

The Orbanization of America… “Two independent journalistic voices, CBS News and CNN, could soon be combined into something potentially almost unrecognizable, something way too close to what is served up on a daily basis by the Murdochs.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/o...

Wow, if only CEOs had money and power

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

The new rules: If you say “free Palestine” or “save Gaza,” especially loudly on campus, you’re an antisemite to be shunned and defunded. But if you believe Israel killed CKirk and used Epstein to gain compromat on Trump, you’re a kooky offshoot of the MAGA movement to be accommodated.

Important Krugman piece about out-of-work men as grist for the MAGA outrage machine: open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

That the Trump Administration has threatened college faculty and students as antisemites for criticizing Israeli policies but done *nothing* to silence or penalize Nick Fuentes or his followers (while reaping their votes) tells you everything you need to know about what “free speech” means to them.

Actually, Kevin, the process of people removing their masks more or less began on the morning of June 15, 2015, no?

It’s darkly funny that the search for the shooter’s politics never provided much clarity about *his* politics but brought the politics of a lot of powerful people into sharp relief.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.
