I realize there's a lot going on with the shutdown, BUT DONALD TRUMP'S FORMER SPIRITUAL ADVISOR JUST PLED GUILTY TO SEXUALLY ABUSING A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL. Seems like something the media might want to ask the president about—if he ever stops hiding.

“Hegseth has a thing against women in the military. He always has, and that’s why he’s pushing this narrative.” @amymcgrath.bsky.social on Defense Secretary Hegseth’s false claim that military standards had been lowered to accommodate minorities and women.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

CBS News better feel their journalistic oats now, for soon this kind of good reporting will die under Ellison and Weiss.

Opinion | Was Bari Weiss a DEI hire for CBS?

They can call it whatever they want, but by setting up a "Unified Command" to handle crowd control at Broadview, the Cook County Sheriffs and the Illinois State Police are performing security work for ICE—something that is not supposed to happen in this state.

i have personally despised bari weiss for a long time, her book was incoherent garbage, and to see her rewarded with the plum of the profession while the smartest people i know are scraping for dollars is gross as hell

A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating

“his reluctance to return classified documents” What an incredible whitewashing of committing several felonies by stealing classified documents and obstructing justice

More grift and corruption.

Weiss is an opinion journalist. Fine for what it is, but hardly the basis for leading hard news. For example, she built Free Press around cancel culture, but has been largely silent in the face of Trump's authoritarian purges. And that is *why* the Trump-supporting billionaire owners picked her.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

A quick note about money and comedy and power. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

The Supreme Court will suddenly realize rescission is illegal then.

Since the budget is a mere suggestion to the President now, it will be hilarious when President Occacio-Cortez decides that ICE shouldn't be funded.

Need people to understand for the overwhelming majority income taxes are remitted by their employer directly to the IRS. There really isn't a way for blue states to stop this short of secession. Likewise corporate taxes. This is why impoundment and especially selective impoundment must not stand.

Thinking about them

Im sorry but the people running the country are profoundly unintelligent and deeply stupid and it should not be this hard to remove these people from office.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

WHAT YOU FAIL TO SEE MR POPE

If NPR has no federal funding I think that means they're allowed to cuss

so it seems the big deal comedians had with "cancel culture" is that we plebes didn't pay them to shut up

People seem convinced that there is a plan to reinstitute the draft and I think they should take a minute and think of how the entire country went batshit insane over being asked to wear little fabric masks in public for a while

I’m still processing what happened this morning. Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Brian Snitker to Transition to Advisory Role:

Absolutely for the best. No criticism for the man (this time), but the Braves need a bit of a shock to the system. He deserves his spot in the Braves HOF and hopefully, much like AA was the right guy to bring in from outside the organization, the Braves do the same with their next manager.

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Glad he's filing this, especially because it's a clear example that the whole "Kavanaugh stop" thing where they have someone show ID and then immediately let them go about their day is BS.

Fat people bad, war crimes good Did I miss anything else?

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

It's enough to drive you insane watching the government constantly doing crimes and then calling a press conference to say "The real crime is when people say we're doing crimes, and we have to stop it"

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"i’ve been getting a little bit of flak just because my dad died in 9/11” is an awesome line

I still think it should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

imagine flying halfway around the world for a meeting that could’ve been an email and some guy with a hangover is just shouting at you that it’s against the rules to be fat or gay

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is
