Motherfuckers. And I don't even like Comey.

Propaganda works, and Stephen miller and the rest of them know that a constant parade of fear will indeed do much of their work for them

Interesting to see this is possible in other countries! www.reuters.com/world/europe...

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

LOLOL

WHATEVER could have caused this??? It's a MYSTERY.

So much for the narrative that WH aides and allies have been pushing claiming the administration wasn’t attempting to coerce Disney/ABC. 🤪

Correct. This did not start with FOX, or even CNN.

They’re going to kill hundreds of thousands of children.

Newspapers were literally named after the political party they supported

Just saying

Whether you are on the Left, Right, or Center, Free Speech Isn't a Punchline. Ask yourself: Do you want to live in a country where you are afraid to say what you believe? Where your children or grandchildren never know how to speak their truths, because those with power fear their voice?

Man, if only that could have raided Windsor Castle last night...Comrade Krasnov got away.

Matthew Silverstone is a real American Hero. I try not to use shooters’ names, but everyone should know Matthew Silverstone. He warned other students and fought the shooter. PS - this is hitting hard today bc I’m in Evergreen for an unrelated charity event. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/17/e...

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

The Nazis did not tolerate ridicule

Well, what do Germans know about creeping fascism anyway?

if you’ve spent more than two minutes reading my posts you know how much contempt I hold Dem leadership in but this is good and they should reiterate it on TV demanding a resignation rather than just calling it “unacceptable” is correct and they are threatening subpoenas when they get that power

Pam Bondi torched for launching campaign against 'hate speech' on behalf of Charlie Kirk

Trump has also threatened to sue us at the @lincolnproject.us - most recently a few weeks ago when @therickwilson.bsky.social spoke about MAGA thinking he was a “corrupt and sick pedophile.” Read about our response here: lincolnproject.us/lincoln-proj...

Even National Review is dragging Pam Bondi: www.nationalreview.com/corner/pam-b...

Think about how a Republican Governor in the reddest state in the nation is meeting the moment with decency and measured leadership. And then post garbage, revealing how you choose to meet this moment, where 22 year olds are killing 31 year olds over internet clicks. Stop.

Wednesday’s events overtook what I had intended to share in remembrance of 9/11. However I have decided to share it today — something I originally wrote in 2018 on 9/11 because it is perhaps more important today than it was back then. open.substack.com/pub/trygveol...

The years pass, but their heroism and loss on this terrible day 24 years ago does not. As always, I pause to pray for Terry Hatton of FDNY Rescue 1, Barbara Olson, and FDNY Chaplin Father Mychal Judge, OFM.

🚨🚨HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist. Trump talks about a “wonderful secret” the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!

In a world where shame functioned...well, this would be something that would embarrass his MAGA defenders. We do not live in that world.

"Don't take the blue acid, people."

In a just world... However...

J.D. Vance is about to get very into technical Greek etymology.

Many media types and Dems continue to operate as if Trump is a politically invincible figure, a "Teflon Don." But in truth he's becoming an increasingly weak, failing, diminished, unpopular, naked-emperor figure, and it's time to treat him as such. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2000...

I'm a little surprised O'Keefe's people can still do this hidden camera thing so successfully. If you work for the government and are on the dating apps you have to know this is happening constantly

Terminal incoherence

The Trump administration is undertaking an unprecedented strategy to try to undermine our elections. They are doing so by rewriting election rules, targeting election officials, supporting election deniers, and retreating from protecting voting rights. bit.ly/4l1lUPP

Trump Goes to Hell: my latest piece for Lincoln Square. It's not quite a novella in length, but it's a long read and a fun trip to the Bad Place. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/trump-goes...

People are misreading him when they say he’s going to appeal Trump voters by *avoiding* “culture war” issues. He just doesn’t want to debate them because, to him, there’s no debate.

I spent two days with Platner and, as you’ll read, was as impressed by his theory of power as I was by his policies. I think it’s FAR more important than the “how do you talk to Trump voters” question.

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
