So, Tom Homan can straight accept a bag of $50K in cash from the FBI in a sting operation, have the investigation dismissed by this corrupt Justice Department, but all of Trump's critics somehow face indictments? Cool, cool. Cool. A desperate, weak Administration overplaying its hand.

All his “sleepy joe” critiques were projections.

And remind his minions that just because the Supreme Court gave their mentally addled leader immunity, they can and will be held accountable.

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Supreme Court on banning gender-affirming care for trans youth: Sure, that's fine, no constitutional violation. Supreme Court on banning so-called conversion therapy for gay youth: No, can't have that, grave constitutional violation. Here, Ketanji Brown Jackson gets to the bottom of it:

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Remember when it was a national scandal on the right that the White House pushed to take down a few tweets?

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

And he’s not even a drag queen.

To mark this occasion, I will disconnect my internet connection to answer a phone call.

Today was the last day AOl Dial Up functioned Rest well king

It’s tired. But imagine if Obama or Biden said “eh that’s a red state so…”

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

Of course they do (profit and turn a blind eye)

Trump Has No Mandate to Destroy America www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

Undocumented immigrants aren’t even *allowed* to access Medicare, Medicaid or ACA credits. Republicans like Randy are going to spike your health insurance premiums, but they REALLY want you to blame an immigrant instead.

OMG this William G. Young opinion that just dropped (12:30pm) in AAUP v. Rubio. It begins with a postcard sent to Chambers and Young's reply card: "Trump has pardons and tanks, what do you have?" WGY: "We the People of the United States — you and me — have our magnificent Constitution"

He means us

It’s going to take so long to dig out of this nightmare of an administration.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

The Right Didn’t Catch Cancel Culture From the Left www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/o...

Good morning

@thepressbox.bsky.social I’d vote for FLAG on the play-by-play if it’s F.F.L.A.G (football fans listen and grumble)

Imagine a politician giving a speech down the street from an ICE processing center, telling protesters to "fight like hell," and those protesters then breaking into the center and smashing stuff. Clearly that wouldn't be his fault.

Not hiring him as a contractor was always the likeliest reason for his grievance against the UN and throwing global geopolitical balance in question.

Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, Olivia Rodrigo headline new ACLU letter with 400+ signers against government threat to free speech, citing Kimmel. Also signed by comedians including Nimesh Patel, Mary Beth Barone, Sam Morril, Gianmarco Soresi, Anthony Jeselnik, Pete Holmes

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

I haven’t finished the yet, but it’s a wonderful read.

BREAKING: The U.K., Canada and Australia officially recognize a Palestinian state, a significant shift away from alignment with the U.S.

Mix in a “racism over,” and you’ve got a very cool highest court in the land right there

A1 above the fold, but still feel like these should be bigger stories.

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal. Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

Interesting

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

How the actual eff did I go so long without watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Supplicated* (but duplicated also kind of works since they all try to be a knockoff)

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

It still baffles me that an entire political party has duplicated themselves to the whims of a failed casino owner and reality tv host.

We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...

This is it. Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans. Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.
