BASH: “So no Trump 2028?” THUNE: “The constitution speaks to that issue.” 🤔 Republican senate majority leader @LeaderJohnThune looks like a deer in headlights as he wriggles out of answering what should be a simple constitutional question.

Sounds like 1933 Berlin.

We are calling for actions at Nexstar and Sinclair Corporate locations *this* Friday, September 26th nationwide! Even though Jimmy has returned in some markets, he has not returned in all of them due to Nexstar and Sinclair continuing to preempt his show. friendseverywhere.network

🚨 FEMA is being gutted. Former FEMA official Rafael Lemaitre warns: “The diversion of dollars away from FEMA and towards mass deportations erodes trust… and when disasters strike, lives are at stake.”

Suddenly reminded of those FEMA budget cuts meant to offset billions of taxpayer dollars that are being wasted on ICE raids

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “The common denominator is young men, usually white, with access to guns, carrying out these tragedies.” As Jessica points out killers are writing nihilistic jokes on bullets, Gutfeld claims right-wing violence doesn’t happen (false) & downplays studies.

Congratulations, @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social!

Tick, tock. Lindsey Halligan, the newly-installed prosecutor in EDVA, has less than a week to secure an indictment against James Comey before a key statute of limitations runs out. Ben Wittes and I examine her charging options. Spoiler alert: they all suck. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Wake up, America, or I fear we may not have elections in 2028.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus brief Wednesday in a redistricting case, arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court should significantly weaken the power of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) to block racial gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"As a result of the internal turmoil, 131 leases expired without the government actually vacating the properties. The situation has exposed the agencies -- and therefore taxpayers -- to steep fees..." www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

We just won our lawsuit against the DHS after a judge ruled the department can't hold life-saving disaster relief funds hostage to advance its anti-immigration efforts. The federal government cannot prioritize its cruel immigration agenda over Americans' safety.

Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech & speaking truth to power. Trump meltdown in 3, 2, 1 ... 💙 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return! Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY. (Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

Today’s tragedy at the Dallas ICE Field Office shows how dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric has become. Words that dehumanize don’t just poison politics — they fuel violence. My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones as we work with officials for clarity and accountability.

Make Corruption a Crime Again!

People seem to be forgetting that DOJ doesn’t just “get” an indictment. They have to convince a grand jury to vote to return one, something this administration has struggled with recently.

The Trump administration is trying to destroy the Fair Housing Act. The FHA is the third leg of the stool to social equality among the races, so it’s no surprise the white supremacist government wants it gone. It must be saved. My latest in @thenation.com
