McMorrow: Meanwhile, farmers are being told, “You’ll be okay because we’re going to bail you out.” Having pennies put back in your pocket while Donald Trump is building ballrooms or filling the Oval Office with gold décor from Home Depot just feels insulting. It is beyond insulting.

This is a real fucking thing the president of the United States said after threatening to send the military to use “full force” against an American city…

Shohei Ohtani just hit his 55th home run of the season, setting the Dodgers all-time franchise record. The team has been around for over 140 years. Here are their top three home run seasons. 1. Shohei Ohtani 55 (2025) 2. Shohei Ohtani 54 (2024) .... 3. Shawn Green 49 (2001)

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

Why should American taxpayers bail out farmers who are hurting because of the president's tariff policy? John Thune’s answers on @meetthepress.com:

Andy McCarthy: "The indictment almost fails as an indictment in that it doesn't give you notice of what Comey has actually done. But factually there's nothing there. So this smacks of wanting to put Comey through the process, which is what lawfare is."

So considering he reposted that AI medbed thing last night there's a nonzero chance his own advisors have been showing him AI Fox News clips in the oval office and he thinks they're real

This was excellent.

Lead by David Stevens. “Why is it difficult to get a response from FEMA after a natural disaster? Now any funding beyond $100,000 must be personally approved by DHS director Kristi Noem. Needless to say it takes time for one person…” #Pinks www.propublica.org/article/kris...

This is not cool and seems to run afoul of how the constitution was drafted ( no idea if that still means anything )

I listened and it was one of the most chilling conversations I’ve ever heard.

Bud I’m on our main NFL show and we went 5/5 picking the Eagles to win a game they were favored by just -3.5. Please relax lol.

#NHL waivers on Sunday:

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Prime Minister Mark Carney met with infrastructure investors from Britain, Europe, Asia and Australia Saturday morning and said he is looking at how Canada can better attract global capital. #Canada www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Actual White House quote: “go fuck yourself.” Its not being some pearl clutching prude to ask whether this is really how most Americans want their kids to see the seat of our government behave. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

“I just lived the film life. I was such a non-normal. I didn’t have a regular job. I was just full-time film. It was really fun. It was insecure. It was all the usual things of being in your 20s.” Richard Linklater on how he has stayed true to his creative vision.

This was always the funniest conspiracy theory to me — that there are MRI machine-like devices that can cure all known illnesses in seconds, but the government has been hiding them — and Trump just posted an AI generated video of himself announcing they're real. We're cooked!

Trump posting an AI video of himself promising something that doesn’t exist should get the full failing Biden front page treatment but we know it won’t.

Enjoy your baseball team tomorrow. Even if they are terrible. Even if they make you mad and frustrated. The offseason is long and the world is full of horrors. Even very bad baseball is better than waiting for spring.

“The polite phrase for this is ‘democratic backsliding.’ But that’s a euphemism that doesn’t meet the moment. Let’s call it what it is: it’s a power grab. The rule of law isn’t slipping; leaders are sabotaging it. Rights aren’t being neglected; they’re being stripped." @clintonglobal.bsky.social

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Crow: They’re doing things that are deeply unpopular. Their approval ratings continue to go down—that is, Republican members of Congress and this administration—and yet they don’t seem worried about it. Which raises the obvious question: what are they going to do?

I'm worried about the other 24%.

I wrote about One Battle After Another, which is not the first great Paul Thomas Anderson movie, but may be the first one that freakin rules

Kaleb Horton RIP.

Former military personnel were seen trading in automatic weapons for mandolins and zithers.

This final post from Kaleb Horton is very beautiful and hits hard. This is just so sad. RIP.

Please everyone in #WarRavagedPortland post your best photographs of the devastation there so that you will not suffer alone!!

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

This is so far beyond the pale. Its only purpose is to stoke division. These agents are people with families to feed. They are fired for what? For showing some empathy with citizens who were protesting for a more just society?

A basic point, but the reason you go after flawed actors like Comey is to habituate people to the abuse of prosecutorial authority, so that when more serious figures are targeted the abuse of authority feels routine.

I reposted my Merle Haggard obituary because MTV doesn't play music videos anymore. I also wrote a new intro essay to accompany it. kalebhorton.ghost.io/from-the-arc...

Mockler: I'm going to ask for them to point out either any example of Joe Biden doing this? No. Example, Scott Jennings said, I don't know. I don't know anything. That's always your fallback.

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

“One Battle After Another,” “as great an American movie as I’ve seen this year, doesn’t simply meet the moment,” Justin Chang writes. With extraordinary imagination, “it forges a moment all its own, and insists that better ones could still lie ahead.”
