It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

NEW: In 2018, Paul Atkins was paid $1,450/hour by Devon Archer's defense team as it fought charges that Archer defrauded victims out of $60m. Last week, the Atkins-led Securities & Exchange Commission dismissed a case that could have recouped the victims' money. The SEC says Atkins recused himself

The rebranding of reactionary gender and biological essentialism as “heterodox and challenging ideas to which liberal students must be exposed” is one of the greatest achievements of our stupid era. Congratulations to the reactionary centrists who helped make it happen - you dupes, you utter dolts.

SCOTUS overturning a lower court to allow Vought's long-sought goal of a de facto impoundment is just one more example of a broader pattern: they consistently side with and enable the hostage takers, whether the hostages are federal employees or grantees. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/shutdown-h...

Always read Farias. Roberts’s “maximalist language in Trump v. United States not only granted Trump a shield from criminal investigation and prosecution, but also handed him a sword to order criminal investigations and prosecutions—even sham ones.”

Breaking: Texas Tech chancellor limits academic mentions of transgender and nonbinary identities at five universities.

Real post on another network:

This is precisely the claim that evidently animates the rigthwing majority on the Court: That any "burden" placed upon the regime by insisting the constitution is still in effect, the separation of powers is still a thing, and the law is still the law, causes the government irreparable harm.

Maher: “If you're tracking the rise of autocracy, we've just transitioned from the muzzling-dissident phase to the prosecuting-political-enemies phase… At this rate Trump could be in a general's uniform by Christmas.”

As with his demands of Zelensky regarding Biden and DOJ with election fraud, it seems Trump just wants an announcement of alleged wrongdoing by Comey so that he can be portrayed as corrupt. Weakness of charges are irrelevant. When Comey is acquitted, Trump will blame the judge.

Elite impunity is the core of our problems today.

He Mar-a-lago’ed the a White House, the cheap scum ball turned the seat of power for the Western world into a fucking resort for the richest people. Tell me again how strong the ignorance and racism is in America? That they’ll vehemently support this guy still drives me nuts. #DumbFascism

Military service is about courage and sacrifice. That’s what my father, a Marine, and my mother, a Navy veteran, taught me. But awarding medals for the massacre at Wounded Knee is cruelty, not honor. And reaffirming them today only deepens the injustice. (1/2🧵)

Elon Musk, a white South African, will end up causing more misery across the African continent than anyone else in recent history

They *know* ppl are fed up with what they’re doing. They *expect* the public to be thr enemy, cuz they *know* that they’re doin unconstitutional shit. Has anyone seen the “proof” of the supposed “knives & drugs” allegations? 🤔🫣 “No due process” means this isn’t “law enforcement” but “law breaking”

A judge ruled the firing of thousands of federal employees was illegal. But he stopped short of ordering the government to reinstate them, predicting the Supreme Court would overturn it.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔 (Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)

President Donald Trump has dispatched federal agents to Portland, local elected officials said in a hastily scheduled press conference on Friday night

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

It speaks to the interest in Epstein that a detail from Dems today has created a frenzy about Peter Thiel. But anyone already following knows there are many ties between Thiel and the pedophile. As my colleague @mattgoldstein26.bsky.social reported: Epstein invested w/ Thiel as recently as 2016.

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

NEW: The Heritage Foundation is pushing a terrorism designation based on "transgender ideology" on the claim that "50% of major (non-gang) school shootings since 2015" involve a transgender shooter or trans-related motive. @dell.bsky.social and me on why that's false: www.wired.com/story/herita...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

"Elon Musk to Island" 🤔 #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

Tesla's outlandish valuation is based entirely on Elon's promises. If only we had any way of knowing whether it's a good idea to bank on Elon's ability to deliver... #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall biggovernment.substack.com/p/is-tesla-a...

elon musk: the only reason any westerner might have for living in thailand is pedophile sex tourism also elon musk: there might be any number of reasons for visiting little saint james island that have nothing to do with anything unsavory, from the pristine beaches to the intellectual fellowship

There's a new name popping up in the latest release of #epstein documents. We don't know if Elon went to the island, but it's getting clearer and clearer that this dude has a weirdly high tolerance for people who abuse kids #teslatakedown #epsteinlist

NEXSTAR AND SINCLAIR FOLD!! We are the resistance! Stay tuned at friendseverywhere.network for what comes next.

This headline says it all about where we are on the rule of law. “Trump Fired a U.S. Attorney Who Insisted on Following a Court Order” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

The right wing can call for violence continually, but we’re not allowed to accurately quote Chuckles Kirk.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

Des Moines is the semi-liberal bastion in Des Moines, and the Des Moines Public Schools are one of the particular bugbears for the Iowa GOP. This is absolutely a specific political attack on the DMPS, on the African community in Des Moines, and on the most diverse city in the state.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

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.

"When these people do this shit...It makes me more fucking mad. This used to be the best job I’ve ever had, the best environment I’ve ever had, the best culture I’ve ever had—and they fucking ruined it. I will never ever forget how much they ruined it. I’m like, fuck these people."

They're going to use the Comey case to break the U.S. Attorney's office for the Eastern District of Virginia, just like they used the Adams case to break the office in the Southern District of New York.

A reminder: Peter Thiel owns JD Vance.

“But no one should be surprised that the Trump Administration is pursuing political vengeance against his perceived enemies. They telegraphed their intentions from the outset, and it is time for America to wake up,” Zaid said Friday. www.huffpost.com/entry/its-ti...

Trump demands that Microsoft fire Lisa Monaco. Anybody from the party of small government have an issue with this or nah?
