Cleveland Grover Meredith… PARDONED by Convicted Felon ⁦‪,White House‬⁩ for 6thJan THIS is not the “radical left” ⁦‪MAGA and GOP‬⁩ screams & whines about 🆘

Yes, 20 mph for cars and trucks should be the law in NYC.

I can't believe MSNBC is falling for this "anti-ice" on the bullet thing. The shooter's brother says he wasn't political and didn't have strong feelings about ICE. Where's the scrutiny?

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Kimmel is not holding back on Trump at all

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"

Yasmin Williams, a musician who has criticized the Kennedy Center’s leadership installed under President Trump, said she was heckled by his supporters during a performance there in what she believes was a coordinated effort by a Republican organization.

Those station groups not allowing their viewers to see tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel are denying them access to an important moment in TV history.

ABC has posted the first 28 minutes of @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

As the brother of an autistic American, as a person who worked on US scientific integrity policy at the White House, and as human being, I'm boiling at the RFK idiocy. And though I have little to offer beyond surpassing rage and national shame, I did smile at this statement from NYU's Arthur Caplan:

If you haven’t seen this (I hadn’t), you need to:

While out on a bike ride this morning I could see, from a distance, that a neighborhood association for a foreign nationality was having a Sunday picnic for their members, and I quietly said to myself, “I hope they stay safe with no visit from ICE marauders.” #NYC

Rumors aren't facts. But last fall the Finance/DC corridor was awash in chatter that bribes and cash payments were flying fast and furious. Given the nature of this crew, essentially zero chance Homan was alone in this.

Enjoyable review by @roncharles.bsky.social of Ian McEwan’s latest novel. wapo.st/48oktbx

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Important thread.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Unreal: The US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia has now resigned after Trump threatened to fire him for failing to find sufficient evidence to prosecute NY AG Letitia James. Reupping this piece/thread on how appallingly corrupt this all is:

The moral rot grows. Without pushback, the Trump government will leave our country with nothing but rot and a shredded Constitution.

This is true. What a shameful ruling that let's these financial criminals off the hook from repaying the just restitution that had been adjudged against them by the courts. So unfair to the claimants!!! #Vile

"Good writing is not a regeneration of other people’s material." A great post from literary agent Jonny Geller: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Oh. My. God. Profoundly twisted framing from @nytimes.com The casual reader of this hed and subhed would have exactly zero inkling that this is likely corrupt or even illegal or unconstitutional. Euphemistic to the point of absurdity.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social is so impossibly good at explaining all this stuff www.youtube.com/live/wWTZzfC...

Going to a book talk by author Jeff Kisseloff on Rewriting HissTory: A 52-Year Journey to Discover the Truth about Alger Hiss. I gave him some help on his way to getting published, by Univ Press of Kansas. Recently got a copy, happy how well it reads. #books #firstpersonnarrative #revisionisthistory

Dr. Houry calls on RFK Jr. to resign:   "After seeing his Senate Finance testimony and the number of misstatements, seeing what he has asked our scientists to do and to compromise our integrity, and the children that have died under his watch, I think he should resign."

I can’t watch this clip without thinking of Richard Nixon, perhaps the greatest recent historical example of this coming to terrifying life: the guy who came from humble beginnings, and seeing time and time again being the hardest working and smartest kid in the room not mattering, to the…

the trump administration is counting on enough people not caring about Ayman soliman’s fate so they can deport him as soon as they can get away with. That is true for an exceedingly large number of people and families, but to make this very simple: It’s not an exaggeration to say his and others’…

How about, "They are attorneys who have had the courage to stand up to Trump even after seeing what Trump does to lawyers for people he doesn't like."

Senator Banks of Indiana both snidely and opening trying to slime Susan Monarez for hiring a good lawyer Mark Zaid, who's had the temerity to be anti-Trump, as if that should be disqualifying. #CDC

trump approval hits a new low in today's yougov/economist poll. now worse than he was in yougov's data at this point in 2017 www.economist.com/interactive/...

“I have never heard until now of children having to buy water,” said Welch, who has been visiting children in custody of CBP and the Office of Refugee Resettlement for eight years.

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

Thousands of X users have posted about Ali Nasrati, a 30 yr old IT tech for Walmart, claiming he made insensitive comments abt Charlie Kirk. But Nasrati has never posted about Kirk. Now, he's been suspended from work and forced into hiding. I wrote about people being falsely targeted by the right

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

It's long past time for people to fully accept that the right simply does not care about being called hypocrites. To them hypocrisy is a weapon to be used against their enemies who feel embarrassed if they are revealed to be inconsistent. They feel no such shame themselves.

Idiotic choice by @FBI agents, burning seized meth in the incinerator of an animal shelter in Montana where—due to “negative air pressure” in the building-75 animals and staff were exposed to meth fumes&smoke for over an hour, many now sick. Shelter director wasn’t told Feds were doing the burn!

Kash Patel’s FBI puts two pounds of methamphetamine in the incinerator at an animal shelter, sending 14 people to the hospital, and exposing some 75 cats and dogs to the narcotic. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Behold a lovely stamp sheet by Chris Ware ... ... where each stamp shows a moment in the day of a postwoman apparently it's the first time anyone has tried to tell a story with a stamp sheet item #1 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter, free here: buttondown.com/clivethompso...

Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.

Thomas Friedman is surely kidding himself in deploying his eloquence in the direction of a man who is incapable of any generosity of spirit. The President will continue to do all he can to spawn hatred and division. A broken man, "leading" a broken country. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/o...

If you're baffled by the "Charlie Kirk vs groypers/Nick Fuentes" angle, understand it's simply "dogwhistle vs bullhorn."
