CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future. I hope you will too.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children." REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old." FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

Pregnant Women, DON’T TAKE PARENTING ADVICE FROM A CONVICTED FELON WHO OWNED A TEENAGE BEAUTY PAGEANT AND HAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH THE MOST NOTORIOUS CHILD RAPIST IN MODERN HISTORY.

Hasan: I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial and multicultural democratic experiment destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today. You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

Yesterday was the Q3 FEC deadline. That means we found out how much money my opponents raised and who donated to them. So how did we do? Well…

BREAKING: Immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras after the use of tear gas and other actions against protesters, a judge rules.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

One of my “progressive” opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called “progressives” shouldn’t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry. That’s why I’m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels. I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them. Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy. Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

Same

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Mike Johnson: “Russ Vought takes no pleasure in this.” Mike Lee: “Russ Vought has been dreaming about this since puberty.” Watch the whole episode here: www.youtube.com/live/PkEOK7J...

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I had the opportunity today to speak with @mehdirhasan.bsky.social about Gaza, AIPAC, and what Democrats need to do better. An easy first step? No AIPAC money. Ever. AIPAC is supporting my opponent but I’m on the right side of history.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Besides being a stooge and unctuous toady, more to the point: Brendan Carr is painfully bad and awkwardly thirsty when it comes to social media. It gives off deservedly unlikable 7th grader vibe.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Since @WeAreSinclair is demanding an apology from @jimmykimmel, I would love for them to demand an apology from the President who lied about my daughter's murder the day that I buried her. It had NOTHING to do with the Russia Investigation.

Trump is persuading media companies to make changes, similar to how Viktor Orbán consolidated control of the press in Hungary www.cnn.com/2025/09/18/m...

It’s Constitution Day. So, of course, Jimmy Kimmel’s show got canceled over comments he made that the administration didn’t like. And DHS Sec’y Noem went on an ICE raid where American citizens were detained. Read on for the update you need tonight: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The thing about MAGA is that they can’t comprehend being good if there’s nothing in it for them personally They’re a moral philosophy morass

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

Brian Kilmeade wants to murder unhoused Veterans then?

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.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

I’m sitting on a panel across from someone who believes that people with mental health disorders should be imprisoned. Unfortunately she’s not alone in that opinion. Donald Trump’s recent executive order on homelessness shows that he believes the same thing. It’s fucking abhorrent.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
