"The Paper" is trying to split the difference between "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation," I'm not sure yet if it works. It's a surprisingly difficult tightrope to walk

When CBS Canceled The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour for Criticizing the American Establishment and the Vietnam War (1969)

I cannot believe this is happening

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

i know it’s pointless to ask where the fuck were these people when college kids were getting expelled and doxxed and beaten by police for daring to oppose a genocide but seeing them all line up for mediocre rich white comedian is really sending me

The Trump administration is looking to revoke or repeal dozens of labor regulations, such as "from minimum wage requirements for home health care workers and people with disabilities to standards governing exposure to harmful substances:" apnews.com/article/labo...

“It gives the illusion I was standing as some lone warrior in a cloud of gas,” Evans said. “It just happened to be the way the photo was framed. But people got hurt, people were hurt purposefully.”

I just cannot imagine turning the actual cruelty of deportations — the destruction of lives, the rending of families, the awful conditions of ICE prisons — into a "to be sure" sentence before you quote someone who professionally cheers such cruelty talking about how the real victims are the wealthy

The article, despite quoting police, neglects to mention what seems like an important detail about who operates that gun range

It's November 2026. Democrats stand atop a hillside looking over a scorched landscape. Buildings are burning, gunfire and screaming can be heard in the background. Phalanxes of masked ICE agents march through the streets. Democrats: "We won a majority in the house!"

the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

If you buy or rent a home – or want to someday - you have to hear this. New documents from whistleblowers suggest the Trump Administration is gutting your rights under the law. We need an independent investigation.

Paul Conrad on Nixon's excuses about the White House Tapes, November 1973. Has the ring of Epstein Files or Epstein Letter to it.

Seems like people now broadly understand that data centers use a ton of energy but pols are happy to trade that for "high tech jobs." But just bc it's big computer doesn't means it's big jobs! It's a big storage facility. The jobs are mostly in construction, with a tiny maintenance crew thereafter.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

oh my goddddd. Come ON. Pull it together Giants.

I had no idea this man had so much hair or that it looked like that

I will laugh SO hard if the Giants pull it off

Quitting Disney+ and not sure what to do with all that cash? You could pre-order my book and learn all about the many nefarious ways Disney Corp helped build this very fascistic moment in culture!

One thing I am realizing about this administration-- not just Trump, but his underlings-- is that they all think running the country is functionally the same as being able to have everything they want, all at once, immediately. There is no strategy, just naked expectation of instant gratification.

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

Local Cowboys media needs to be on Jerry Jones' ASS after this game - but they won't be.

omg 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I think last week might have pissed Ben Johnson off a little bit 😅

lol Aaron Glenn...

This was a fantastic last half hour of Red Zone omg

LMAOOOOO

I really love seeing an angry Matt Lafleur

If the Commanders, Vikings, and Packers all win today……..😒

Quite the intro for CBS's The NFL Today, celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Chris Murphy: "The question today is when is enough enough for Republicans. I was very glad to see Ted Cruz stand up and say what is simply true -- it is unconstitutional and deeply immoral for the president to jail or silence his political enemies."

Meet the Press put together a clip of Trump vowing in January to "bring back free speech to America," followed by him saying last Friday that negative coverage of him is "no longer free speech"

Trump and Vance’s contradictory messages on these killings: 1: Our glorious military carried out hyper-precise attacks on dastardly drug smugglers. 2: If you’re an innocent fisherman, watch out because we might kill you by mistake!

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Culture isn’t just art in museums or music on stage. It’s family meals, stories passed down, and the roots that make us us. This week’s Sunday Edition dives into culture in all its forms.

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?” Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’” Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

Excellent Sunday read. "...Kimmel’s comments went unaddressed by ABC, Nexstar, and Sinclair for nearly two days after the Monday show. Things only changed after the government started calling (on a podcast — with Benny Johnson, no less) for stations to pre-empt Kimmel and ABC to fire him."

What he is saying quite clearly is that Pam Bondi must indict several of his long-time political enemies immediately or she will be fired and replaced by someone who will.

an amazing personal, political & courageous op ed. Gift link. I note this: “The price of admission to Trump’s America is aggressive compliance” - it resonates with prior observations I’ve made re compliance with the sex/gender binary, which now requires steroids, hormones or surgery for straights

I’m old enough to remember when the theory was that large tech companies were too invested in stability to support a fickle authoritarian

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”

Come on guys.

Stunning, though not surprising, that The Washington Post-- the paper whose columnist David Broder coined the phrase "Saturday Night Massacre"-- still has nothing on its homepage about Trump's Bondi comments as of 10:15 p.m. ET.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
