“Courage breeds courage”: FCC Commissioner @agomezfcc.bsky.social says pushback led to Jimmy Kimmel’s reinstatement

“Extortion and grift in the wide open”: Fmr. Republican Rep. Denver Riggleman reacts to Trump’s DOJ shutting down an investigation into Border Czar Tom Homan

That was the worst presidential press conference on public health since the last time Trump did a press conference on public health.

“They did record Homan accepting a bag of cash. Most seasoned FBI investigators view accepting a bag of cash in a surreptitious meeting as evidence of corrupt intent.” (Despite what Trump’s Secretary of Lying said today)

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “New Yorker to New Yorker, what’s going on with the Mamdani endorsement?” @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : “A lot has been going on in Washington.” 🤔 TARLOV: “You’ve been saying that for weeks. It’s always busy in Washington.” 🎯

Trump: "Asceda -- well, let's see how we say that. Ascenem -- enophin. Acetaminophen. Is that okay?"

Defamation lawsuit?

No wannabe king can match the power we wield when millions of us take action together.

It's no where near 80 vaccines

I'm still not gonna resubscribe to Disney... I said I might if they reinstated him, but I changed my mind. I'm not going to.

Not science

Wtf

She has 6 days to indict Jim Comey. Let's see if a grand jury will deliver.

They were totally waiting to pounce!

What Megyn Kelly is doing is dangerous and @timmiller.bsky.social is calling it out

There is only one way to resolve this. RELEASE THE HOMAN TAPES!!!

"Everyone else is corrupt, but not him."

🚨 Some of the best trolling of the FCC I could have imagined — being released. Adam Kinzinger is speaking truth to power. A MUST watch.

There’s a reason I asked Pam Bondi if she was capable of saying “no” to the president.

Russian State TV: “Let’s give Trump a Nobel Prize from us…our Trumpushka is being mistreated… you’re wrong not to love our Trump… 🇺🇸 is moving away from its fundamental principles…” They praise him for getting Kimmel fired, sending the military to our cities, etc rooting for our democracy to crumble

I'm working on it. bsky.app/profile/muel...

Woah! Can you spot the difference?

Fascism is an objective thing that exists, and some people fit that description.

NEW: Discharging patients who are at risk of harming themselves or others is illegal. But dozens of psychiatric hospitals aren’t honoring the law — and the government isn’t following up.

This feud has gotten ugly fast after Mills voted against Mace’s resolution to censure Omar. Now Mace is accusing her fellow Republican Rep of stolen valor and sharing his private texts to her.

🧑‍🌾 TN SOYBEAN FARMER ‘CRISIS’: “China has withdrawn from the market in response to Trump’s tariffs… If those numbers hold, a farmer planting 3,000 acres stands to lose over $250,000 this season alone... many simply won't survive another year in the red.” www.agrolatam.com/news/tenness...

New in PN: Turns out Republicans don't care about free speech after all "Calling this 'hypocrisy' is too banal and oversimplified. To understand it in full, you have to be attuned to how power operates and how the right thinks about it."

There is a line between capitulating and collaborating. Increasingly many companies -- including some that own media -- are falling into that second group. Democracy Docket will never capitulate, collaborate or cooperate with Trump and his cronies. Support pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Although Tom Ragsdale’s oil companies owe New Mexico more than $3.5 million for pollution and unpaid fees, the state has recovered only about $50,000. Drillers across the industry have employed similar tactics in what is known as “the playbook.” (Published Dec. 2024)

🚧✨ Visibility Brigade out on 9/20 with big messages over rush hour traffic: ❄️ ICE = TRUMP’S GESTAPO 📂 RELEASE THE FILES – NOT PEDOPHILES Chalked antifascist art on sidewalk, turned up energy, and even had a MAGA stop by 👀 — but nothing slows us down. Visibility Brigade keeps showing up.

2020 was perhaps the most pivotal year for American democracy since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The organization would not be what it is today if it had started a year later. It was born in the crucible of the 2020 election — and it has carried that spirit ever since.

Lev had the inside scoop on everything Trump

Rep. Don Bacon: "There have been some wrong statements made, to say the least — when the attorney general said she was going to go after hate speech...is wrong...The president doing threats against media is also wrong. We don't threaten the media."

Twenty years before MAGA came into existence, Umberto Eco captured it perfectly. He was able to do so because he had a deep understanding of so many elements of fascism.

Bash: "Do you believe in free speech?" Sen. Markwayne Mullin: "Absolutely I believe in free speech...There's a thin line between free speech and when it crosses a line and causes violence. When you start calling someone 'fascist'...there is a problem."

Trump can threaten, yell at, pressure, cajole Pam Bondi anytime he wants in private. And I’m sure he does all the time. All he has to do is pick up the phone. But the one yesterday he posted on social media. Why go public with it? Same as always - to put his mob on her.
