You know that guy who rammed his truck w American flags into an LDS church and murdered 4 people before setting the place on fire? I can’t find a single story about his politics Help me out here if I’m missing something

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

Republicans: Stop being so violent! Also Republicans: Kill people and break things!

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Do not under any circumstances cave to Trump. That’s exactly what he wants, and he will promise everything and deliver nothing. The Republicans will be fully responsible for any government shutdown

Next time some Trump supporter says "BUT THE NAME-CALLING BY THE LEFT IS DANGEROUS!" show them this: #Hypocrisy

Just saw a commercial for Battlefield 6. I wonder how much Electronic Arts donated to Trump to have their new game play out in the country on the release date

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again. These two gotta go.

Are most Dem leaders feckless and unable to rise to the moment or are they beholden to the same donors as the GOP and uninterested in doing so? Or perhaps a bit of both?

6/8: MAGA’s “alpha” routine is a giant tell: a loud cover for low self-esteem. And it’s toxic—it teaches boys that cruelty is courage and bullying is leadership.

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

I still think it’s backwards that every mass shooter owning an AR-15 is considered a right while their victims’ healthcare is considered a privilege.

Here’s a thought. Focus on speaking and acting in the best interests of the people that elected you and the other Dems in office. In other words, stop being such a do nothing clown

Fascism is always appealing to the weak and lazy. It's so much easier to blame someone else for you failings than better yourself.

Californians — don’t take medical advice from President Bleach. Trust your doctor.

From denying Somalia had a president to making up a story, President Trump is a lying buffoon. No one should take this embarrassing fool seriously

Want 2 free tickets to see singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith Friday night at the Dakota? Hit repost for a chance to win!

New: For @msnbc.com I wrote abt Trump’s absurd EO declaring antifa a “domestic terror org” I trace history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from v real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The timing of this declaration (2016) makes this even more disturbing. Seems that Team Trump was able to cover up his rape of a 13 year old

@maddow.msnbc.com This is certainly worthy of a segment

😕

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.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

Appeals court, on 2-1 vote (on party lines), says Trump can’t remove Lisa Cook from the Fed. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Why Won’t Republicans Say Melissa Hortman’s Name? open.substack.com/pub/endlessu...

we have to make court expansion a litmus test for the dem party moving forward

So now Maga is laying the ground for Insurance Companies to deny coverage for vaccines, because it is not mandatory. If you want to be safe then you pay & dearly. See how this makes America GREEDY again? Are we great yet? Nope fucking no! we are heading to become a third world country thanks to Maga

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

No notes

It’s time to take serious action at the State Capitol to address gun violence.

One thing that really hits you when you're directly affected by gun violence in schools is that there's nowhere to hide. Public, private, religious, whatever - unless you're going to homeschool your kids, we live in a world where they're at risk of something like this happening.

Wonder where that idea came from

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.

The Toronto Blue Jays held a moment of silence prior to the start of tonight’s baseball game vs the Minnesota Twins. Canada is a good friend. 🇨🇦

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

We had a horrific emergency involving our kids today and right now I'm just sitting at my computer in a daze and in shock. Thankfully they are okay but others are less fortunate.

Who did this?

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.

‘Poor me. I’m so helpless. What could I possibly do to stop him?’
