This flew under the radar with all the batshit stuff happening at HHS but this has major implications. This could be used to revoke the use authorization or at least severely restrict it and as a result, severely restrict abortion nationally. abcnews.go.com/US/health-se...

“I have full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome — and honestly, it’s the only way to see the world clearly. He will do literally anything he thinks he can get away with. As a country, we’ve crossed red lines I never imagined we’d cross.” open.substack.com/pub/michaelw...

The SecDef wants all service commanders and their senior enlisted advisors to come to Quantico on short notice. It’s difficult to understand why. My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/hegseth-qu...

got some bad news for anyone who voted for Trump because he promised to bring down prices www.ft.com/content/dd6d...

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

CNN: “Top congressional Republicans and White House allies are working behind the scenes to prevent a politically charged floor vote to release the Epstein case files next month...” www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

We have podcasters running the FBI posting evidence on Twitter within minutes of a shooting without having all of the details and facts. This only sows more distrust in the investigation and allows conspiracy theories to run wild. We need the truth and accountability, not politicized law enforcement

New - “Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work.” www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%. Trump won't even meet with them. He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families. What a bad deal for America.

Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I hate Obamacare, I’m more of an ACA guy

Meanwhile over the weekend, the US government sent a letter threatening France, Australia, the UK, and Canada if they recognized Palestinian statehood. Despite US warnings of “punitive measures,” they proceeded with recognition.

In his entire answer he notably never once denies taking the $50,000.

President Trump’s demand that Attorney General Pam Bondi prosecute his adversaries has alarmed current and former DOJ officials who say it threatens the department’s credibility.

The President of the United States PUBLICLY pressuring the Attorney General go after his political enemies. And an entire political party, and half the country, will yawn & look the other way. Sure, blame Trump for democracy & the rule of law slipping away. But so, so many others deserve blame too.

Now this is peak projection. Utterly unhinged.

The Trump administration is canceling an annual government effort to gather data on how many Americans struggle to get enough food, per WSJ

I love us! Shoutout to #WSSU

Trump posts a DM to his AG that she needs to prosecute his political enemies. Trump’s Border Czar took a $50k bribe from the FBI, Trump’s DOJ to shut it down. Trump issued a $100k afee for H1B visas, restricting immigrants into US unless company pays This is just the last 24 hrs. Sheesh.

Plot twist!

“We’re fine with corruption if comes with terrorizing brown people.” Really sums up the MAGA punditocracy.

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

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.

"It is an attack on all our free speech rights." anntelnaes.substack.com/p/censoring-...

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

I'm from MO, I spend a lot of time in STL with family, and I dread the possibility of this amendment becoming enacted. Successful ballot initiatives in MO in recent years have protected abortion access, reaffirmed the agency shop for unions, expanded Medicaid, mandated paid sick days & c.

Many of us are numb to it, but almost every day he publicly confesses that he is at war with our laws and Constitution.

Senate went nuclear and it barely made the news: apnews.com/article/sena...

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

“Blaming the left exclusively for violence is not just a rhetorical flourish from a pugilistic president. Instead, it is a pretext, a justification for what appears to be coming next,” Jonathan Chait argues:

Oh look.

Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker has called for boycotts and protests against broadcast outlets that are tied to Wednesday’s decision by the Walt Disney Co. and its ABC network to indefinitely suspend comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s nightly talk show.

A week after the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, President Trump and his allies are attacking critics of the right-wing activist, a campaign detractors described as an alarming attempt to stunt freedom of expression.

NEW: President Trump is asking the Supreme Court to let him fire Lisa Cook, the culmination of his effort to take control of executive branch entities once thought to be insulated. w/ @samjsutton.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

We live in a country where the president can order a comedian to be yanked off TV. What I describe is not a democracy.

Wow. Live your life in such a way that your shitty policies don't make the health insurance companies look like the good guys.

“The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.” www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse

"CONFLICT ENTREPRENEUR" Not a new term, but its new to me. youtu.be/fCrQRchkDWY?...

Pam Bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism. The right cannot think coherently so instead of making their own studies, they censor legitimate ones. But don't worry Pam, I saved it for you web.archive.org/web/20250911...

Hey everybody, the Attorney General of the United States doesn’t understand a basic foundation of constitutional law.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
