“Deference” implies giving the president the benefit of the doubt. But where there is no doubt, there can be no benefit. Immergut refused to credit assertions with no basis in the record. She didn’t grandstand or sermonize; she simply applied the law to the facts. newrepublic.com/article/2013...

This open letter from Stephen Muller’s cousin is moving. The following excerpt is well spoken. When you raise up the most vulnerable among us, you raise up an entire community.

This is heavy.

What an embarrassment to the legal profession. The DOJ is literally flouting the law - "rules for thee, not for me [DOJ]".

For crying outloud, the FTC shut down the IdentityTheft.gov report portal, a web app that shouldn't require staff to operate. Even if FTC staff can't review reports until after the shutdown is over, the portal is a self-guided form that consumers need to be able timely submit. #Cybersecurity

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

I feel rn sort of like Kathleen Madigan in her anecdote about arguing with Louis Black over the utiity of Twitter ("Is that all our thoughts can b now, 144 characers?!" "Yeah, Lou. ... The British r coming. The British r coming. ... All u need.") AOC is always on point, like bsky.app/profile/rbre...

I subscribed to AOL dial-up around 1992 when we got our first home computer, a Compaq. I still have my an active AOL email account that we used for all emails for me and my husband. This dial-up sound is a blast from the past, bringing lots of memories of those early days and “You’ve got mail!” ✉️

Farmers planted in April or May. They have to sell in the next couple months. There isn’t any way they can react to the Trump havoc. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

Trump’s DOJ may charge former FBI Director James Comey with lying to Congress, @marcelias.bsky.social fires back: “Honor your oath or resign.”

#JimmyKimmel piecing together, all the times Trump said in Monday’s presser “don’t take Tylenol” “just don’t take it” over and over and over again had me laugh-crying and on the floor.

Karoline Leavitt is the kind of child actress that Shirley Temple used to beat the crap out of by the end of her old movies in the 1930's, after 90 minutes of insufferable torture.

Someone in the back helped him pronounce it. Gawd. 🤦🏻‍♀️

As someone with autism, I’m tired of hearing the same false “causes” over and over Tylenol, vaccines, you name it. #Autism isn’t a conspiracy or a mystery to scare people about. If you want to understand, start by listening to us.

Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure that taking your medical advice from a conspiracy theorist, a tv doc and a reality gameshow host might just be a really fucking bad idea.

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

BREAKING: Chicken Pox caused by Vicks Vap-o-Rub: White House BREAKING: Astigmatism caused by chewable vitamins and parental failure to invest in Trump Coin: NIH BREAKING: Havana Syndrome caused by component of Tito’s: CIA BREAKING: Red hair caused by potato consumption: Marine Corps

This is unconscionable @nytimes.com. An abdication of journalistic responsibility and judgment.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

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.

👀

We are told an Antifa mouse is loose in Washington DC and we’re doing everything to catch it. Until we do, and in the meantime you should stop by the WWII memorial, to pay tribute to the 419,000 U.S. service members and original anti-fascists who died fighting that war. @missmouse.bsky.social

Trump calls Antifa a dangerous terrorist organization & will investigate it. Antifa means anti-Fascist. The entire USA was anti-Fascist during WWII & fought a war against Fascists, right? Does Trump consider the USA a terrorist organization?

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

The best way to use my voice against this nonsense is to hit the “Cancel subscription” button my iPhone.

I hope when this Admin is dead and gone in 3 years that the new President and all his cabinet Secretaries stop posting on Social Media, keep quiet, fade into the woodwork and let the rank and file of the govt do their jobs. That’s how it used to be and as it should be.

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

I have something to say about the Charlie Kirk murder. youtu.be/LyPdCw5Hcr0?...

When we were producing LONG SHADOW: 9/11's LINGERING QUESTIONS, I was always blown away by @vermontgmg.bsky.social's encyclopedic knowledge of the September 11. This small anecdote always stuck with me. I hope you'll give it and the whole podcast a listen. #NeverForget #September11 #911Anniversary

LMFAO. There are forensic experts that will prove what we already know. Signature, ink pen data dating and the people that know the truth. I don't know if it will change people's minds but we can't stop pushing the truth

@elienyc.bsky.social was quick on this and shouting the truth of it as always.

Much of Trump's authoritarian power grab has been green-lit (at least temporarily) by the Supreme Court's "shadow docket." This allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions. Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?

Pathetic. Talk about transparency… this post is transparent in that he and “his” DOJ are scared and now have no recourse but to do what they are best at - blaming someone else for the mess they created.

This👇🏻!!! Please and thank you.

Every Congressperson who votes for this should be forced to take the test before seeking reelection. We’ll see how that goes.

RFK Jr has repeatedly misrepresented in this morning’s hearing that “vaccines are exempt from safety studies.” Nothing could be further from the truth. This demonstrates his incompetence and the danger he presents leading HHS. It’s not the only lie he pushed. He should be impeached or resign.

This whole thread 👍🏼

Dems can so easily jump on "we have laws for a reason" messaging rn, calling out the illegal shit the Trump admin is doing, focusing on DUE PROCESS. Like questioning, "Why didn't they get a trial? Are we going to be the kind of country that punishes people with no trial?" would hit the mark, imo.

#MedicareforAll is the number one issue that can unite America. Everybody gets sick sometime. And we all know Kennedy is a menace to public health. Tax the Billionaires, give us a real healthcare system.

AI slop is more than just junk – it’s dangerous. An example: This fake photo of a child with a puppy went viral during Hurricane Helene, fueling misinformation. Don’t fall for it (and flag harmful content when you see it).

This is devastating to the children and parents of children fighting brain cancer. Additionally, cutting funds to research of this nature also impedes the discovery of treatments for other difficult to treat cancers. We need a death count for each life lost to a disease or illness during this Admin.

It goes beyond vaccines. Foodborne pathogen “surveillance will continue for salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, but…ended for six others: campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio, and Yersinia,”… “often found in chicken or other foods, causing illness and death each year.”

someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...

Please read Dr. Daskalakis’ full letter at the r link provided. We are entering a dangerous public health period if Congress does not put its foot down NOW to stop the dangerous path that Sec. RFK Jr and President Trump have put us on. #CDC #PublicHealth
