Ladies - just tough it out y’all. Same way he did with his “bone spurs”.

Several years ago I said something like this to a friend: “The MAGA movement is against the Enlightenment itself”, meaning that MAGA seeks to take us away from reason and backward into superstition. Powerful evidence of that coming true today.

Yes let’s base policy on rumors Trump thinks he’s heard.

They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦‍♂️

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

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

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

A sentient baseball mitt with opinions is presently giving Americans medical advice that runs wholly contrary to all broadly agreed upon scientific research and medical advice.

Happy Fall! 🍁🧡🍂 From Lady the English Setter 🐶

This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.

I was 20 before I learned about Japanese internment camps, from a Smithsonian exhibit. I think about that a lot—in part because museums are under attack. And in part because armed agents are on their way to Chicago to raid immigrant communities. My column. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/05/h...

I’m no fancy politics guy, but i’d say any country where you can’t put a man in prison for accepting a literal bag full of cash in exchange for favors from the government is not, in fact, a functioning state.

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Tucker Carlson tells a story that appears to blame Jews for killing Jesus (they didn’t) and also killing Charlie Kirk.

Fantastic, sober, realistic thread. The James Baldwin quote deep in the thread is on point.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Damn right — lock him up!!

As we begin another week, my law firm is litigation 52 voting and election cases in 25 states. We are preparing another half dozen. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight of our time and I am proud that my firm is helping to lead this fight in court.

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

Ex-Trump White House Attorney Ty Cobb: “Trump is waging war on people who offend him… I think it will take at least a generation for 🇺🇸 to regain the freedoms we enjoyed 9 months ago.”

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Florida Friday rejected President Donald Trump’s latest $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, ruling that the complaint’s contents were “improper and impermissible.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Censorship is here and it’s come in the form of corporations censoring themselves in order to win favor with the regime.

That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

Here’s how Jimmy Fallon responded to Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off air:

Sunset tonight in Ellsworth, Michigan. #puremichigan 🌅 🌊 🏖️

Loons on Grand Traverse Bay, Michigan

Headlines on the Bloomberg Terminal from Air Force One: *TRUMP: TV LICENSES SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY IF BAD PUBLICITY FOR ME *TRUMP: IF TV SHOWS 'HIT TRUMP' SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ON LICENSES *TRUMP ON TV SHOWS CRITICIZING HIM: THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO

Story from @catherinelucey.bsky.social and @katesullivandc.bsky.social:

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy. Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation. If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

If Biden made a gaffe this egregious and embarrassing it would be front page news in the New York Times. But now it's just Trump being Trump!

American ranchers are raising the fewest cows in decades. Through the price increases, American shoppers have stayed loyal to their love of burgers and steaks — until now.

CNN couldn't have booked a better guest than @jeffjarvis.bsky.social to discuss Trump's censorship spree and mass media's servile acquiescence to it.

I think this Jimmy Kimmel thing is going to not only backfire spectacularly against ABC but will also backfire spectacularly against Trump in terms of his political standing. The extent of the authoritarian crackdown is becoming too obvious for even some of the slow folks in the back to ignore.

Using the power of the federal government to have a vocal critic of yours removed from the airwaves is a pretty textbook definition of fascism. Further proof conservatives were always full of shit about cancel culture.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Late night talk show hosts serve at the king’s pleasure.

This is the spot! Lady, the English Setter agrees! Woods and water in #PureMichigan . 💙🩵
