Not content with destroying American democracy, MAGAts want to destroy the planet, too. kentuckylantern.com/2025/09/23/g...

apnews.com/article/char...  “We can call it Christian-esque, but it’s white nationalism wrapped in talk of Jesus ... And it’s not Christian. It’s just not.”

"He is a national embarrassment. Sadly, he has allowed exclusively yes-men and yes-women to surround him, so no one prevents him from saying utterly stupid, inaccurate, uniformed 'stuff.'" open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

“You almost have to feel sorry for him. He did his best to cancel me. Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.” FREE LINK wapo.st/4272aUt

After so many shameful low points from him and for our country, this one is uniquely embarrassing and dangerous for all Americans. This is no way to speak to anyone. Especially not to an audience of world leaders who are guests of our nation and our great city of New York.

And we apologize for his arrogance and ignorance and for the 70+ million voters who didn’t learn the lesson the first time.

Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel: We’re told you have video of Trump official Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in cash bribes stuffed into a CAVA bag in exchange for corruptly steering government contracts. America smells a rat. Release the tapes now!

Fact-checker @glennkessler.bsky.social takes apart Trump's delusional United Nations speech with, well, facts. open.substack.com/pub/glennkes...

"One couple said they were federal employees who had taken early retirement. They liked the statue’s message but said they didn’t want to attach their names to a quote, just in case it would jeopardize their retirement agreement." 🎁 Gift article wapo.st/4gFthvN

Prosecutors conditioned dropping cases against @citybeatcincy.bsky.social journalists on their admitting there was probable cause to arrest them (which would harm their civil claims). They rightly refused. I told @link-nky.bsky.social that the fact they're worried about a lawsuit is telling.

Trump spreading fossil fuel propaganda lies at the UN - what an embarrassing president for the US.

Meanwhile, Trump just told the UN General Assembly that their countries are “going to hell.”

Trump demands release of hostages in front of the UN, as his regime captures and disappears 1800 detainees.

Trump at the UN is like if Khrushchev had beat himself in the head with the shoe instead

Trump just said "inflation has been defeated" in the U.S. Problem is, Trump isn't talking to his cult. He's talking to the UN General Assembly, and they know he's full of shit.

Watching Trump give this UN speech, the world thinks America has lost its mind. I do too.

At a time when the Trump administration is trying to force people to conform to their ideology, last week's ruling is an important reminder that the government can't restrict speech based on its political agenda.

A never-ending embarrassment.

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

The US Administration has proposed an astronomical tax on lawful, high-skill immigrant workers. The economic evidence is clear about what Americans can expect: Less innovation, less entrepreneurship, lower productivity. A diminished future. My new summary at @piie.com —>

Pritzker: "MAGA Republicans in Congress may be in control now, but in 2026 they will not be unless Donald Trump does something to change this country fundamentally. And that is what he's trying to do ... we Democrats are going to win in 2026, but not if Donald Trump is allowed to cheat."

ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family

Trump has humiliated the United States on the global stage again

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Ariel Abergel was part of a still ongoing effort by MAGA loyalists to seize control of the org overseeing the celebration of America’s 250th birthday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Department of Agriculture said it will end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey. Experts say the move will obscure the effects of recent changes that will lead to people losing food aid.

"Erika Kirk’s act of forgiveness should be remembered for a very long time. But MAGA Christianity is also rooted in a dangerous distortion of Christian theology, one that motivates otherwise good people to walk a dark and dangerous path." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/o...

Close to 5M could become uninsured if Congress doesn’t extend subsidies, report says kentuckylantern.com/2025/09/23/r...

apnews.com/article/tyle...  Bravo to the Associated Press @apnews.com for not pulling any punches in its reporting, writing and headlines. We now have three fools trying to destroy public health in America.

Joe Manchin says Democrats need to "move to the center" to win. I've watched corporate Democrats like him peddle this baloney for 50 years. Instead of caving to Big Money, Democrats should fight back against Trump and the oligarchs rigging the system.

Idiots. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fiery dissent makes it clear the majority is "raring" to reshape the separation of powers to give Trump unilateral control over all independent agencies, Congress and precedent bedamned.

apnews.com/article/jimm...  ABC ends Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and his show will return Tuesday

The big question now is whether Justice Department employees will all resign now or stick around so they can be prosecuted after Trump is gone.

Jasmine Crockett: “When we see the consolidation of power. When we see them trying to chill speech of jokesters. That is a playbook out of Hitler and I won’t deny it. These are the facts.”

John Oliver has the best summary and analysis of the Jimmy Kimmel situation out there. Worth listening. youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g?...

John Oliver says Bob Iger should use "the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away. And that is, 'fuck you, make me.'" youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g?...
