If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

Our statement on Trump's most recent Executive Order, promoting the death penalty in DC.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice Thursday sued six states — California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania — over their refusal to hand over sensitive voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"No hate, no fear! Immigrants are welcome here!" Absolutely massive crowd at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Blocks long!

If you drink coffee, you’ve probably noticed the price of a bag of beans has increased. A lot. Some House members say Trump tariffs are part of the problem. They’ve introduced a bill to ease the punitive trade policy on coffee-exporting nations. www.dontmesswithtaxes.com/2025/09/hous...

That's assault.

The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign. This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

The sanctioned attorney also represents the Trump Organization in its Schedule A case:

Appalling, appalling video. I genuinely think the NYPD should investigate for assault. There was no call at all for level of violence. She perhaps brushed him with her hands but she was not posing a threat at all.

Marco Rubio is the acting Archivist of the United States, as it happens

Insecurity and jealousy can be ugly when played out on an international stage.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “As a writer, as a person, I do not know how to live and write and thrive in a world where working for decency and fairness and equity can be seen as incivility,” Roxane Gay writes in a guest essay.

Donald Trump claims to have ended six wars in six months and has been angling for a Nobel peace prize. Americans are less convinced of his diplomatic prowess, as our polling shows econ.st/4mUl20Y

At 94, and after nearly six decades at the helm, Warren Buffett has announced he will step down this year from his role as Berkshire Hathaway CEO.

More than a quarter of women have faced harassment at work, with one in seven reporting unwanted sexual behaviour, shocking new research reveals.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" attracted more than 6 million viewers in its return to air following a brief suspension by Disney and his opening monologue drew over 17M views on YouTube in less than 24 hours.

US President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at the White House, the latest sign of improving ties between the two nations.

Say what you like about Macron but he can still give an impassioned speech, this one in defence of multilateralism “The United Nations is all of us We have no right to cynicism We have no right to fatigue We have no right to the spirit of defeat” youtu.be/FsMnFJtBBP0?...

UCLA’s funds reinstated after yesterday’s court order! Thanks to the brave researchers and their amazing counsel, including Dean Chemerinsky, who brought suit. This is just another turn in the ongoing fight, but a great result for now.

Let's all work towards a world so that someday we can have Chief Justice KBJ. 🙏🏼

Here is the full letter asking for the investigation... Click on link to read as PDF static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

I stopped by Purfeest Farms in Rice County. The Purfeest family are 5th-generation Minnesota farmers and tend to 4,000 acres of corn and soybeans. We must support their work with fair trade policies that give farmers a fair shot to succeed. And check out the CAT 🐈‍⬛ cameo.

Setting aside the question of legality, this would be an action of enormous self-harm inflicted on the nation, needlessly ridding the country of talent and expertise. It’s also extortive. “Give us what we want in a funding fight, or we’ll hurt the country.”

CNN: The ratings are in for the first day. 6.26 million viewers on ABC. That was four times Jimmy Kimmel's average. And that's despite the show not even being available in a quarter of all American homes.

“‘California, you know we don’t back down from a fight, and this November, the fight belongs to you,’ Rep. @aoc.bsky.social said in a video endorsing California’s Proposition 50 …” www.commondreams.org/news/2026-el...

NEW on MSNBC: Prosecutors in the EDVA presented new U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey — because there isn't enough evidence to establish probable cause, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict.

Are you saying an unhinged guy with a chainsaw didn’t fix things?

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

When the expanded child tax credit expired, poverty went up. This was not about the economy, but about the safety net.... These are the facts.

Several celebrations across the state and the country have been cancelled or postponed. But Fiesta Mexicana vendors and attendees firmly believe in overcoming fear and oppression through education, visibility and celebration.

A UN investigation concluded that a videographer may have mistakenly triggered a safety function on the escalator that halted with Trump aboard.

Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work.

The UN have already stated that one of Trumps own security detail went ahead and accidentally stopped the elevator. Also, that the teleprompter was controlled by the White House.

It has already been determined (shortly after it happened) that a member of the Trump "team" accidentally turned the escalator off and that the teleprompter was being operated by the Trump "team".

This Isn't Over. Right Wing Fox-lite Sinclair & Nexstar Refuse To Air Jimmy Kimmel. Watch Him On YouTube youtu.be/sRjhi68xfnw?... Turn ABC OFF Boycott Advertisers Write 𝐀𝐁𝐂 - U𝐬𝐞 form support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req... 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 PHONE 972-373-8800 FAX 972-373-8888 www.nexstar.tv/contact/

One good thing about these conservative media groups like Sinclair and Nexstar preempting Kimmel is that a lot of people are suddenly figuring out which stations they actually own and why their local news has turned into garbage over the last few years.

People who live in Nashville, TN. who aren't getting Jimmy Kimmel. Here is the contact for Nexstar. You know what to do Gary Weitman: Email [email protected] or call (972) 373-8800.

Which is why millions of Americans were prevented by Nexstar and Sinclair from seeing it

I like this history which includes who Chris Christie has been.

On my 13-county rural tour, I visited the Windom, MN Toro factory which makes incredible snow blowers & mowers. In Minnesota, we innovate, we make things, and we export to the world.

"Instead of a traditional public address from a world leader, U.S. President Donald Trump tilted back his badly-dyed hair-sprayed coif and howled at the moon for the better part of an hour"

In America we have largely grown desensitized, but I can guarantee you that, from the perspective of the rest of the world, it’s still absolutely shocking that this is the president of the United States. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

The world is watching. Our allies are horrified, our rivals are emboldened. That’s the cost of letting chaos masquerade as leadership.👇

Shana Tova to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah here in the Ninth District and across the world! My wishes are with all of you for a wonderful holiday. May we all enjoy the fruits of a happy and sweet New Year! 🍎🍯

💯 What a disaster. Fortunately, @leahgreenberg.bsky.social of @indivisible.org will join as our special guest tomorrow. Hoping, knowing she will talk us off the ledge. www.youtube.com/live/64i6OP_...
