“I used to think that the defining fight for our country was between the left and the right. Now, I am much more worried about the money at the top crushing everyone underneath.” - Alvaro Bedoya newrepublic.com/article/2011...

I just watched @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in his interview with Fox News. He did a masterful job! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXG7...

This is an example of a Kavanagh stop. Arrest, detain, humiliate, and then release because she's a citizen.

I’ll just leave this right here for those who need to be reminded!

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

First-rate profile by NYT's @astead-mirror.bluesky.bot of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social .

We need Dem politicians nationwide to pay attention to the incredible campaign being led by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social . This is just one example of his ability to understand and support, publicly, those who the conventional politicians and media ignore or stigmatize. he is an example for us all.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

BREAKING In a new video, Dolly Parton, the Queen of America, says she’s going to be ok.

Simple principle: if it would be a war crime when done to enemy soldiers, then it shouldn’t be done to civilians by the US government

If you're asked a yes-or-no question, you can: (a) Say yes (including Yes, but...) (b) Say I don't recall/don't know (c) Invoke Fifth Amend. (d) Say No (e) Instead either ask your own question or make an allegation about the questioner If you pick (e) we can infer what you meant by not answering.

It's always reassuring to look at the comments on an idiotic oped that the @nytimes.com should never have published and see not one single commenter who thought the Times or the writer was in their right mind. (Based on comments on the posting, haven't yet checked those on the NYT website.)

These are the horde of threatening antifa (and guy in chicken suit) from the DHS Secretary's own video that supposedly justified calling in federal agents and the National Guard.

This is damn good. Not a stern letter, but a video that says "no fucking way." He must have been watching @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about connecting to people's economic concerns. He should keep learning from Mamdani, who is at the top of his form. And bring along @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social!

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

You can disagree with how Eric Adams ran the city, but you have to admit he did more to expose Emil Bove’s corruption than any other mayor.

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

If you read anything today, let it be Nikole Hannah Jones’ essay on how Charlie Kirk’s death is doubling as an invitation to transform white supremacist views into normal political discourse www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

Why yes, it is!

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Sinclair caves! Well done, all! variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Trump literally published a hitlist.

Tonight, the American people - in defense of free speech - returned a political satirist to the airwaves after a burgeoning fascist regime tried to silence him. It’s an historic night. I won’t forget it.

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

“I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.” To the people of the world who wonder if there are Americans who grasp how mad he is: There are. We can see it. We are working to mobilize our people to oppose him and his dangerous regime.

A truly poetic turn of events.

The release of the video showing Tom Homan rejecting the $50k bribe from FBI agents has been scheduled alongside the release of Trump’s health care plan and news of all the successful trade deals, both of which will be released in two weeks.

When is he going to rename it the Ministry of Retribution?

He is perhaps the most refreshing, and media-savvy politician I can recall.

I'm sure Donald Trump will go on his social media and demand that Ingraham be fired.

@raskin.house.gov I was very disappointed that you voted for in favor of whitewashing this evil man. We can all oppose political violence and assassination without praising the victims.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

This is a clearly impeachable offense he’s reportedly going to finish committing tomorrow. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-poi...

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

I am biased but I don’t think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."
