BREAKING: The Board of Immigration Appeals is trying to deport our client Mario Guevara, a journalist from El Salvador, despite his clear legal path to residency and an immigration judge's order to grant his release on bond.

It's a journalist's job to ask questions of government officials, no matter which party is in power. That often means respectfully knocking on doors to get answers people deserve to know. Tips and evidence are essential to our nonpartisan work: www.propublica.org/tips/

Conan O’Brien speaks out about the Jimmy Kimmel suspension:

NEW: The SEC quietly dismissed complaints against 3 people who were granted clemency by Trump for frauds that collectively bilked victims out of hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, Devon Archer, Trevor Milton & Carlos Watson won't have to pay any money that could be used to make victims whole.

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of worker-owned cooperative news sites that you might want to support: www.404media.co/membership/

The movie version of V For Vendetta wasn’t great but it did have a whole subplot about late-night comedy host getting canceled (and later imprisoned) for displeasing the regime

“When we have the weight of the United States government behind extremist views, we’ve got a problem.” —Barack Obama

More from the suspect Tyler Robinson's alleged messages: * Nothing about him being a groyper. * For why he did it, he wrote, "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out." * Had only been planning it "a bit over a week." * Was his grandfather's rifle. His dad gave it as a gift.

These estimates of public support for violence (from www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...) are inflated - *much* higher than what we and others have found using question wording that reduces acquiescence bias: brightlinewatch.org/accelerated-... The vast majority of Americans reject political violence.

Nothing makes more clear how Trump defines "hate speech" than him applying the term to a super bland question from a reporter

Another blow to the case trying to unseat Fed Gov. Cook: “The property tax authority in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook hasn’t broken rules for tax breaks on a home there that Cook declared her primary residence.” Via Reuters

There is no doubt in my mind that living our lives online contributes to a culture of political violence. A story. Last month, my car wouldn't start, so I needed to get it towed to the dealership an hour away. AAA sent a two guy. Let's call him Chris. (1/x)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says the US again targeted a boat allegedly carrying drugs from Venezuela, says 3 killed in strike.

Notable that the people in this Discord chat, at least, did not seem to be happy Kirk was killed www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

“One of the goals of political violence is to totally transform civic culture. If you’re not holding public events, you’re kind of doing the work of those who are kind of promoting political violence.”

"The U.S. agricultural workforce fell by 155,000 — about 7 percent — between March and July, according to an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. That tracks with Pew Research Center data that shows total immigrant labor fell by 750,000 from January through July."

"USCIS says election officials have used the tool to check the information of more than 33 million voters — a striking portion of the American public, considering little information has been made public about the tool's accuracy or data security." https://n.pr/4mgrQoG

New from me: As we learn more information about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, here's what you need to to know. open.substack.com/pub/ctrlaltr...

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade has apologized for advocating the execution of mentally ill homeless people.

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

Since President Vladimir Putin’s invitation to Alaska by President Trump, Russia has been emboldened in its strategy of splitting the U.S. from Europe while pushing ever harder to gain a military victory in Ukraine.

It has been more than four hours since Brooke Singman sent this tweet claiming Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner and Fox News Digital still has not published a story including this detail. That includes the story she just published 3 hours ago. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

Yes but then again: Jim Crow was a minstrel character, California was named for a mythical island in a hit book, Lenin took the title of his breakthrough pamphlet from a polyamorous romance novel, and the American revolutionaries couldn’t stop quoting and stealing lines from a 1713 play about Cato

“I will never visit the United States again,” Mr. Jeong said. @nytimes.com #Hyundai www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

Trump keeps saying Putin would not have invaded if he were president but… “Russia has significantly escalated strikes on Ukraine since President Trump took office, data show, defying his call for peace by increasing the range of buildings hit, including civilian ones.” www.wsj.com/world/these-...

One thing that's bumming me out, because I'm very much a "DO SOMETHING DEM," is that Schumer did some of what was being demanded of him. He slowed confirmations to a crawl. Got almost no credit, and when the GOP broke the Senate rules again to go around him this week, there was no public outcry.

“Sen. Bill Cassidy said Friday that Louisiana is undergoing its worst whooping cough outbreak since 1990 and called on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to promote vaccinations.” This outbreak has already killed two babies. @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

Time to turn on the Mets it can’t be as depressing as covering politics right now….

"The document appears to counter other documentation that Cook’s critics have cited in support of their claims that she committed mortgage fraud by reporting two different homes as her primary residence, two independent real-estate experts said." www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

“.. Job finding is the risk in the labor market. According to the NY Fed SCE, .. the mean probability of finding a job if you lose one today plunged to 44.91%, a level never before seen in the history of this survey.” 👀 - RenMac

Each alleged mass shooter is even more On the Computer All the Time than the previous one. Probably nothing to worry about there

The problem is a lot of kids reject hobbies at that age. They just want to be online. The virtual world is more vivid and enjoyable to them than the actual one.

“.. I thought by the time I was 26 surely I would be able to afford a one-bedroom in a location I love,” said Cole McMahon-Gioeli, who works in finance. “That feels so far away now.” @conorsen.bsky.social @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

X is wild because you can post a link to a NYT feature story on this and no one will see it, but cuntycakes123 can make a post summarizing the main bullet points with no attribution and it will go viral and everyone will be like "OMG why isn't the media covering this?!?"

It's not just the scale of the new company that you have to get your mind around; it's that plus the fact that it's likely to be MAGA minded and could include TikTok— along with CNN and CBC. www.status.news/p/david-elli...

"Words can be violence" may go down as one of the most destructive intellectual theories in modern history

Utah Governor Spencer Cox calls for "moral clarity." "I hear all the time that words are violence. Words are not violence. Violence is violence. There is one person responsible for what happened here. And that person is now in custody and will be charged soon, and will be held accountable."

Today is a good day to remember the *other* 9/11

NEW: @nytimes.com: a senior official said the report from ATF saying the rifle that killed Charlie Kirk "expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology" had not been verified by ATF, did not match other summaries, and might turn out to have been misread www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...
