The abortion drug mifepristone is safer than, well, Tylenol. And on its 25th anniversary, it's under assault as never before. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

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.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use. How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

With both Nexstar and Sinclair predictably caving, I'm happy to say my column from this morning has become even more true: Jimmy Kimmel won, and it wasn't even close. Others should take note. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Trump has just fired U.S. attorney Michele Beckwith for reminding the Administration follow a court order.   She is the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento and lost her job for telling a Border Patrol chief to follow a judge’s restrictions on immigration raids.

There was no "battle" at Wounded Knee. It was a massacre. Over 300 Sioux people, many women and children, were butchered. Hegseth is praising and rewarding the murderers. How is this Christian, MAGA?

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

Get the facts. There’s no benefit to logging the Tongass. None. At a certain point it appears MAGA just wants to destroy stuff because they can. #SaveRoadless #ProtectTheTongass #akleg #akgov

Using an emergency declaration, Trump’s timber production executive order would ease environmental protections so as to greatly expand logging in the national forests. A report from our friends at @highcountrynews.org:

Under John Roberts and Clarence Thomas, the "Corrupt Six" undermines the Constitution and American values through support for a criminal with serious allegations.

Reps. Darrell Issa (CA) & Rob Wittman (VA) have sent 100+ people each to the CFPB for help in the last year. Sen. John Cornyn (TX)? More than 800. They all voted to slash CFPB funding. Apparently kissing Trump's ring is more important than helping constituents. www.propublica.org/article/cfpb...

Are people’s lives just a damn game to Homeland Security now? This is beyond sick.

We have a little more than $800 to go to reach our goal! Help the The Natural History Society of Maryland fund their new shark science and conservation exhibit, which I'm working with them to design! 🧪🦑🌎🦈 www.southernfriedscience.com/help-support...

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Wednesday, September 24: Rep. Nick Begich is in Fairbanks. Why is he visiting the university he voted to gut funding for? #Alaska #Akleg #AlaskaSky #Fairbanks

Unless Congress steps in with a solution, thousands of Alaskans will lose health insurance subsidies at the end of December and see the cost of their premiums shoot up.

Kimmel: Brendan Carr is the most embarrassing Carr the Republican have embraced since the cybertruck

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

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."

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

Good luck to Illinois' very own Leo Catholic High School tonight at the America's Got Talent finals!

The father—who's lived in the U.S. for over two decades and has an active asylum application—was reportedly driving with his daughter when he called his wife and said someone seemed to be following them. When they got home, agents got hold of the child. trib.al/m5PeQH8

Anchorage folks, go see the SCBWI-AK illustrators' art show at the Midtown Wild Scoops! My favorite is Frog's Tea Party by Jena Benton, @jenanbenton.bsky.social #AlaskaSky

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 ... "

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

i sort of halfway believe RFK jr has been telling him he has a big bombshell for weeks and when he got into trump’s office this morning, trump was like, “what the fuck are you talking about, try something else” and this is what they came up with, which is why they started 30m late

1. A federal judge has blocked a Trump policy that says the National Endowment for the Arts will disfavor LGBTQ+ performances, ruling it violates their 1A rights. NEA funding is a significant for theatres. Their ban helped stop plays with trans themes. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Hey Dem pundits: On behalf of my lgbtqa+ friends, neighbors and family members, I 💯 agree

I slam the NYT when it normalizes Trump and reaches for neutral language to characterize his batshit craziness. But here they got it right.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you…back in 1984!

Fewer households, businesses will get high-speed internet under revamped federal plan, reports Madyson Fitzgerald and Amelia Ferrell Knisely for @stateline.org via @alaskabeacon.com

Warren Calls for Investigation as Whistleblowers Allege Trump Appointees are ‘Systematically Destroying’ the Fair Housing Act Warren says new whistleblower reports “show the extent of the Trump administration’s attack on civil rights and show how the administration appears to be ignoring the law.”

sad and pathetic.. as is Alaska's Congressional delegation for letting this happen.. Someone better field some candidates better than Sullivan for Senate (hell no, not six more years) and Nick Begich for Rep (2 years and already has set Alaska backwards in so many ways).. Bring back Mary Peltola!

Now they will blame Tylenol and Women Journal of the American Medical Association, JAMA has done extensive studies and says NO

Please take time to read this piece on Ward Sakeik, a 22yo Palestinian woman wrongfully detained by ICE for 141 days. The strength and perseverance of Ward, her legal team, and her husband are phenomenal, and Ward’s story must be shared. Call Your Reps and Senators: (202) 224-3121 INVESTIGATE ICE

There are two weeks to go in the fundraising campaign for the Natural History Society of Maryland's new shark science and conservation exhibit, and we have to raise about $1,400 more. Please consider chipping in to help. Thank you! www.southernfriedscience.com/help-support... #SciComm 🧪🦑🌎

Democrats, you don’t have to make your good communicators president! You can just put them in leadership positions. Stop letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

“Charlie Chaplin was willing to mock Hitler. Colbert and Kimmel were willing to mock an American president with his own authoritarian designs. What will the rest of us be willing to do in order to stand up to fascism?” Al Franken writes. Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

An Arizona man is facing felony charges for threatening to shoot up a gay bar to avenge Charlie Kirk. He was convinced the shooter had "transgender ideology." Fortunately, he was stopped, but this is on the media for running with the erroneous WSJ reporting. www.azfamily.com/2025/09/19/p...
