NEW: NY Times poll asks Do you support Revoking the licenses of television stations that air programs that criticize Donald Trump? 26% of Republicans SUPPORT shutting down media outlets critical of Trump. While only 57% of Republicans oppose that. This is the Fascist base in US.

(He’s probably also too young to know that 2000 wasn’t this century.)

Does this metric mean much? No, given how few elections there have been. But sniffy “debunkings” from innumerate dopes is far more embarrassing.

Someone please tell Sean James — who abandoned the name Sean Burch upon shifting to writing lazy, pro-Trump garbage for Mediaite — that actually the former vice president’s claim of the closest margin this century is accurate.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro called for criminal proceedings against Donald Trump, whom he compared to Adolph Hitler while speaking before the U.N. General Assembly this week. trib.al/yilCpgt

Unreal. The casual reader of this @nytimes.com hed and subhed will have no inkling whatsoever that Trump's "characterization" is wildly false and that it's a bad faith *pretext.* Time to get better at conveying the fundamentally pretextual nature of these authoritarian decrees already.

NEW: There are big problems with the Comey indictment. It is vague and based on an obvious misquoting of Comey’s testimony. Moreover, the case could fall apart over just one word. Check out my latest article. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

One more time

That power wasn't originally there then, but it's originally there now.

So if a future congress were to chose, as the current one has chosen not to, to exercise its power of the purse rather than to leave it to the whim of the president — whose power does this SCOTUS propose should prevail: the constitution written by the founders, or the writ of their shadow docket?

After failing to read and understand a batch of documents correctly, Republicans have revived a conspiracy theory that the so-called "Deep State" staged the Jan. 6 insurrection...all because of a lack of reading comprehension skills, apparently. trib.al/GcvwaE9

If you voted for him, you've done this.

In a single paragraph, SCOTUS allowed the executive branch to withhold $4 billion in funds Congress appropriated for foreign aid. Make no mistake: this is a major assault on Congress's power of the purse and yet another step towards giving the president king-like power to defy the legislature.

Lawlessness is contagious. It is spreading throughout Trump's Justice Department. This is what authoritarianism looks like. It's most potent enemy is the rule of law.

TL;dr? ABC and Disney reminded Sinclair that they can charge Sinclair a preemption fee each time they don't run Kimmel, and can run Kimmel on a different station in that market, and if it's a long-term problem they can cancel affiliations Super Bowl, ABC, 16 months from now

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Agree. The current SCOTUS—openly corrupt (Thomas, Alito), nakedly unrepresentative (last Dem to appoint a Chief Justice=Harry Truman; GOP-appointed majority for 55+ years), cowering to Trump (John "Roger Taney" Roberts)—has failed to stand up for rule of law. Needs to be central issue.

This is one of the more chilling things I've read in recent weeks. I can't believe Just Security had to publish this, but I'm glad it did.

NEW: There are enormous holes and oddities in the Justice Department's hastily assembled case against Jim Comey We breakdown why this case may struggle out of the gate — and thanks to Trump's constant commentary — may never reach a jury. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

"It seems like Trump’s project is to create a two-tiered legal system in which he and his supporters are above the law entirely, and all his enemies, whoever gets designated that way at any time by Trump, are not just subject to the law, but subject to the corrupt application of it." trib.al/MI0z9JO

Trump's administration claims they're arresting criminals, yet they’ve detained US citizens. Illinoisans deserve to know why the federal government is spending their money to promulgate a fear campaign instead of supporting public safety efforts.

In light of Trump’s pick for SecDef, posting my 2021 article on a commander’s duty to punish war crimes by subordinates. Failure to discharge this duty—including by pardoning war criminals—can itself amount to a war crime. digital-commons.usnwc.edu/ils/vol97/is...

Incredible start here. We all saw Kavanaugh's hearings where *he* played the victim, red-faced and screaming and spitting and promising revenge! And none of this has anything to do with academia. Go talk to some students! None will say their professors are too soft and treating them like victims!

If he can do this to Comey he can do it to anyone. This is what dictators do. We cannot be silent.

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics. This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

First Trump ordered baseless investigations of Tish James & Jim Comey--now it's OSF The efforts to manufacture criminal charges vs OSF violate the rule of law, the 1st Amend. & fundamental Constitutional principles We must speak out before it too late www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

If Trump indicts NY AG tish James we need NY prosecutors to investigate and prosecute all the Trump children living in NY starting with Donald Jr.

Trump’s hated for Comey is so bizarre when you think about the fact that without Comey’s October 2016 intervention, Trump probably wouldn’t have won the 2016 election and wouldn’t be president today.

Love the precedent set here, which will enable us to use the thinnest possible pretext—and no written or oral evidence—to prosecute every single government official, billionaire, and business executive who ever testified in front of Congress. See ya soon, Elon!

It’s entirely punitive, which is all that was demanded. And here we are.

The Comey thing is dumb and the intent obvious but is also horseshit even on its own terms. MAGAworld is like “accountability at last to our enemies!!!” but this isn’t a grand jury agreeing that Comey invented the Russia probe, it’s that he allegedly made a disputed claim in Hill testimony.

Will be exciting to see World Cup games limited to Jacksonville, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Fresno, Bakersfield and Tulsa

In other words wants the games to be held where there’s higher crime - in red states.

The open corruption of the Department of Justice into a tool of dishonest oppression against people who have crossed Trump isn't just on Trump or his minions. It's on every Republican in the Senate, in the House, and on the Supreme Court.

Kind of odd how, after all the other lies, the lie that was finally enough to get major media outlets to honestly describe Trump admin actions in their headlines was "Tylenol causes autism," but whatever we'll take it. And hope they keep doing it, as they should've all along.

"Or maybe bisexual? The influencer who helped blow up FCC chair Brendan Carr's attack on Kimmel, has pushed ugly anti-LGBTQ garbage. Now questions are being asked." www.signorile.com/p/is-maga-po...

"So, if this is true, it’s certainly relevant for the media to confirm it and report on it, as Johnson is part of a movement doing enormous damage to the LGBTQ community and is a powerful player who helped elect a president who is promoting vile hatred against queer people."

real fuckin bleak how many liberals and leftists are boiling their brains every day on the Nazi app

“Debunked! Trump's Absurd Claim That He Ended Seven Wars” I brought receipts and actual facts:

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u... certainly a tougher NYT these days… bothsideism is out we pray

Even though it’s bullshit the media is running COMEY INDICTED headlines which is how Republicans win messaging every time. They’re hoping most people won’t know the difference between this and a real indictment and the media helps them by not plainly saying “Trump Forces DOJ To Indict” in a headline

Dems should commit to impeach Bondi and refer to bar for disbarment.

Remember when Grok was calling itself “MechaHitler?” Musk, for his part, has made comments raising concerns about his possible tinkering with Grok such that it shares his right-wing beliefs. Now, Grok will be available to every federal agency. trib.al/1SKD3Ma

Time for New York law enforcement authorities to step in to address assaults like this.

Yes, this is the way to do it. newrepublic.com/article/2006...
