Final edition of paper my senior year was so heavily censored we covered the parts with black tape - looked like a redacted CIA document.

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism."

Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border chief, was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later closed by Trump administration officials.

Worth re-reading this decision.

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

After the Supreme Court's ruling blessing censorship of student newspapers, our principal embraced censorship with gusto, our journalism teacher resigned in protest and yours truly and others spoke out about it. That led to this article in WaPo in 1987. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/loca...

Pump Up the Volume is an underrated movie. Maybe the best lampooning of the FCC ever?

Scott Bessent, like Lisa Cook, had two homes listed as primary residences in mortgage documents at the same time. The two homes were each listed as primary residences on the same day in docs signed on his behalf by his lawyer. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

That fine print is a doozy

Everyone’s talking about the rusty lighthouse, but this place is what deserves real discourse!

South Korean officials press gaggle at the airport: -there was 1 pregnant detainee, she was seated in first class -none of the detainees displayed health problems, medical staff was in flight -Korean govt exploring psychological support -workers applauded out of relief when they took off from GA

“.. Their roundup and the .. video showing some Korean workers shackled with chains around their hands, ankles and waists have caused public outrage and a sense of betrayal in South Korea, a key U.S. ally.” @apnews.com #Hyundai apnews.com/article/sout...

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.

Too many people calling for violence on social media. Insta block from me.

EXCLUSIVE/BOMBSHELL: @bloomberg.com has obtained **18K** previously unreported emails from Jeffery Epstein's personal Yahoo account. The emails are disturbing & revelatory & reveal new details about Ghilaine Maxwell's role FREE to read www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

Meanwhile - JERUSALEM, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed an agreement on Thursday to push ahead with a controversial settlement expansion plan that would cut across land that the Palestinians seek for a state. "There will not be a Palestinian state," he said.

Senate staff just got an alert: "Capitol Police are responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters. Staff are asked to remain clear of the police activity."

A House petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files now has 217 signatures, needing just one more Republican to sign. Every non-signer is effectively the deciding vote.

Talked to 23 people who suddenly have to pay huge tariffs or otherwise cannot get chainmail from Pakistan, yarn from France, retro computers from Japan, metal music from the Netherlands, DVDs from Germany, cosplay supplies, sunscreen, etc. www.404media.co/its-just-a-m...

I don't know what comes next. But I do know after talking with Republicans that they have a bunch of unvarnished rage, they blame Democrats and they want to see something happen to them. This is... kind of scary. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

UK's ambassador to Washington fired after a Bloomberg investigation revealed 100 emails between Mandelson and 'best pal' Jeffrey Epstein. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hawley and Paul voted to release the files. Key Rs Murkowski and Susan Collins voted to block the amendment. They both said the appropriations bill, not the NDAA, was right venue. …

Senate voting now on Republican effort to kill Schumer amendment requiring release of the Epstein files.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence. Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

Just horrific.

Um, this poster

Elon Musk’s $1T pay package, if he eventually gets it, would exceed the GOP’s Medicaid cuts. It’s about $3,000 per American. It’s enough to buy all of the real estate in a number of states. It’s about the size of the annual Defense budget.

People keep rediscovering this thread

Tesla’s board is proposing a pay package for Elon Musk that would be valued at ~ One Trillion Dollars - provided Tesla’s market cap rises to $8.5T. The world’s richest man has sought such a pay package to increase his voting share in the company to about 25%. Could make him first trillionaire.

Scoop: A sudden no-bid ICE contract for specialized sniper training has gone to a decorated former Marine who is also the brother of a GOP lawmaker. Reached by WIRED, he says there was no hookup; 20 years in a reconnaissance unit and even more as an instructor simply left him uniquely qualified.
