wrote about Comey, arguably the first capitulator in advance. trying to palliate trump led to the destruction of basically everything he was trying to preserve. it feels like we should learn from that. www.publicnotice.co/p/comey-indi...

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

The president of the United States seemingly can no longer discern between fantasy and reality. This is somehow less of a crisis for our legacy news media institutions than the previous president having a stutter and sometimes mixing some names up.

Kamala Harris would’ve been a sensational President, and virtually everything in America would’ve been better than it is now. That’s why MAGA voted against her. They couldn’t destroy our democracy if they elected a brilliant leader with integrity— they needed a corrupt imbecile.

The core of Dem position is that a continuing resolution should continue existing programs -- including the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Most Republicans don't like those subsidies and voted repeatedly to repeal the law, not expand it, and they're in charge.

Nothing to see here, just oh so “devout” Mike Johnson changing the rules to cover for pedophiles.

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

No wonder the tippy top of the GOP wants to keep this a secret. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina... "That's just how it is."

Sinclair is caving and bringing back Kimmel. Money, folks. Public pressure. They dont have the numbers. Remember this and increase the efforts.

Oversight Democrats just released new documents revealing that Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and Elon Musk are in the Epstein files. Looks like Musk visited the island 👀

Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile. But this episode has demonstrated the opposite. Let's not forget it. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2008...

America’s leadership class is failing us. It’s up to you and me to defend democracy. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/22/america-democray-leadership-robert-reich

In the DC area, ABC did NOT air Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. Here are the commercials that aired on ABC in Kimmel's time slot. I won't be spending a single dollar on any of these products/services: Wendy's Sketchers Kia Jeep Cirque du Soliel Safestep Walk In Tubs AMP Sales & Marketing Solutions

"This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this" - Jimmy Kimmel

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

Hillary Clinton on the midterms: "When they eliminated the enhanced premium tax credit for the ACA, that hits very soon, in the next 30-60 days. Healthcare costs for million of Americans are going up 75% ... so reality is actually gonna bite ... 'okay, who is in charge now?'"

Read the Dekleptocracy substack: "When a phantom foundation with no address, no registration and a founder who might not exist, wires $100 million to the president's crypto company, America has a problem" dekleptocracy.substack.com/p/trumps-she...

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

Since Trump’s MAGA majority has controlled the Supreme Court, SCOTUS has overturned 42 years of precedent deferring to agencies 50 years backing a women’s reproductive rights 60 years of affirmative action And-likely-a 90 year old case shielding the FTC It’s the most radical Court in US history

We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world. I spoke to the @nytimes.com about the strong forces trying to turn the clocks back and how we can all fight for women's rights and futures. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

#ResistanceRoots “Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power.” — Frederick Douglass

“Be loud, for America.” Read Governor JB Pritzker’s stirring op-ed on our nation’s current state and how we move forward together.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Paying attention yet?

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

The US media has been conservative for decades, propped up by the “liberal media” myth. It’s coded. Most notable is how media makes Dems do all the work while GOP sets norms. But also look at how it covers LEO as gospel. Now it’s just out in the open. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Today, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about how Trump and the Republicans plan to interfere with the 2026 and 2028 elections. I hope you watch, subscribe and share. youtu.be/7PXQfDHr9Aw

Hey Elon. I have some clients for you.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

What a truly disgusting week for American journalism.

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

Three thoughts on the Russian drone attack on Poland: 1. This was not a mistake. It was a test of NATO. 2. NATO has to figure out how to cheaply and effectively respond to drone attacks, e.g. with counter drones as Ukraine does. 3. The West needs to impose costs to deter Putin and end impunity.

Key here is that the monied ghouls who thought this was funny also thought it's part of what makes America great. "What a great country!"

At least 19 Russian drones crossed into Polish air space last night. This was not an accidental breach or a mistake.

Gotta Agree with Mr. Newsom......

These fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but they’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

Massie: "I don't think my colleagues are happy about covering up for pedophiles...They're terrified of President Trump's political machine. His legislative affairs folks are reaching out from the White House to every Republican member of congress."

POLITICO: ".. You don’t need Playbook to pick through the possible meanings of stomach-churning lines like 'We have certain things in common, Jeffrey' … 'May every day be another wonderful secret.' .. You can draw your own conclusions .. you probably already did." www.politico.com/newsletters/...

There's cope temptation to make jokes about it, I get that and have done it too, but it is profoundly dark that the president of the United States is a guy who sent explicit jokes to his good buddy, the world's most notorious pedophile, very obviously about how much they both enjoy raping children.

Trump has broken the economy, and he has no idea how to fix it. Now he’s trying to distract from that reality by going to war with American cities.

I mean what on earth are district court judges supposed to do at this point other than get the message from SCOTUS to let Trump do whatever he wants to no matter what the law says.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool
