🔥 WATCH: “Republicans in Congress cut all THIS (Medicaid, SNAP) so they could pay for THAT (tax cuts for the rich)… follow the money.” @warnock.senate.gov joins Coach Sully to use the cups to show who Republicans are really fighting for — the richest among us.

Ohhhh cool..every time Trump attacks late night comedians its fun to watch their clap back...🤣

In a new measure of judicial performance, Trump judges “dominate” Biden judges… except the study doesn’t prove that at all.

This Veterans Day, join me in honoring our veterans and their ʻohana. These heroes have stepped up to defend our freedom and we are forever grateful. Mahalo for your service and sacrifice.

The Scorpion and the Frog One day a scorpion was walking along and came to a stream. It wanted to cross it but knew that it could never swim that far. The scorpion then saw a frog and asked "Frog, can you carry me across the stream?" /1

📽️ WATCH: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. Trump justified the deployment of National Guard troops by calling the city "War ravaged," with an ICE office under siege. That's not what we found. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/43fRCmF

(H/t @ecroth0813 on threads) Dr. Seuss in 1941, somehow still vitally up-to-date.

just boosting this. ruben’s work is so, so good and his early stuff is a delight. he sort of sprang forth fully formed, as a cartoonist.

literally every single day I write about some consumer protection standard it took a decade to build getting destroyed by weird Trump zealots yet, for some curious reason, the idea that Republicans are corrupt liars maliciously undermining the public interest isn't a dominant narrative in media

Oh my GOD.

This is quite a hed/subhed. 1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex. 2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands 3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.

On Thurs. October 16 from 5:30-6:30pm HST, I will be holding a district-wide Tele-Town Hall. I will answer questions & address concerns about the federal government shutdown (if still ongoing), the impacts of federal funding cuts & other issues impacting Hawai‘i residents.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

What I'm referring to. It's a privilege to be invited onto networks to talk about my reporting but I have limits. Similarly stopped doing NewsNation after Nextar took its Kimmel stance.

Ah - the Kavanaugh stops continue. (h/t @akalhan.bsky.social for the name!)

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

For all the wealthy comedians who are performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival:

As I was saying…

this seems like sensible advice if you live in the US and want to do effective protest about Kimmel:

If you're bored, DOGE Libs is the gift that keeps on giving. dogelibs.vercel.app/

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Sept. 21, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Saturday morning cartoons...

Dutch late night TV has its take

ABC, what a Mickey Mouse operation

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Excited to be a part of this amazing event on Thursday! It’s @capitalandmain.bsky.social’s annual EXPOSÉS honoring outstanding work in social impact journalism, publishing, and media.

Why does Trump want to control the Federal Reserve? He operates on such a different plane of policymaking that it’s often hard to understand what he’s doing and why. Let me try to put it together for you. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-art-of-extortion

Really Costco, really?

1. Trump says that the letter to Epstein is fake because the letter is "not the way I talk." Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the letter is "not at all how he speaks or writes." JD Vance said the same thing. Does the letter sound like Trump? I investigated.

Remember: The internet is written in indelible ink.

Trump “blah, blah, blah, Russia, Russia, Russia,…” Journalist “You claim that Russia, Russia, Russia is a hoax. Does that mean you’d be willing to release the unredacted Mueller report?” Trump *audibly shits his pants*
