Jesse Watters - I didn't say we are at war. That's what I said they said. Checks tape. "We're going to avenge Charlie's death." "They are at war with us." "This is a war we didn't ask for and this is a war they can't win." 🤔

A reminder that it's highly likely Nigel Farage was/is being paid by the Russians. And if he's not, he's an absolute moron.

Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers: 38-54 (Quinnipiac) 39-60 (AP) 40-56 (Gallup) 41-58 (Reuters) 39-56 (Economist) On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2010...

Unfair comparison because greatness? Explain your nuanced approach

"If you have body cameras, turn them off."

Yeah they pulled him for a day due to public blowback, but no one in this admin has a problem with what he did. I pretty much expected him to be brought right back. The White House was probably cheering this guy on.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s fall meeting is at a 5-star resort in Sea Island, Georgia, October 3–5. Their schedule will include buffet meals, pickleball, golf, shooting and lawn games — all as the fates of millions of Americans hang in the balance. www.rawstory.com/gop-shutdown...

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Goddamn. Yes.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is leading a push in the Trump administration to remove Nicolás Maduro as the leader of Venezuela, with officials discussing a broad campaigns that would escalate military pressure to try to force him out. - NYT

Whew!!! The show Task is so fucking tense. I haven’t been this anxious since Sopranos. Geeezus.

If only there was some way they could have known that Musk was a bad guy. Oh, well, I guess this will have to be one of life's great mysteries.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

In a stunning violation of OPSEC, we’ll be announcing to our adversaries when and where all of our top military leaders will be. Doesn’t seem Pete learned much from Signalgate. His incompetence is staggering.

Hear, hear! x.com/chrismurphyc...

Charlie Kirk's killer? Terminally online and gun culture. The far right Evergreen shooter? Terminally online and gun culture. The Annunciation killer? Terminally online and gun culture. Yesterday's killers? Online and gun culture. The always forgotten CDC killer? Online and gun culture.

An iconic moment in Trump 2.0….

This prosecution should result in sanctions.

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

I miss the America that would feel embarrassed and ashamed by the behavior of its fans at the Ryder Cup

America’s favorite game show: “Wheel of Regret.”

Walmart has long been a facilitator of fraud on a mass scale, a ProPublica investigation found. More than $1 billion in fraud losses were routed through the company’s financial services between 2013 and 2022. (Published Jan. 2024)

It's not that complicated.

War is hell.

Yo kids I know the evil emperor's sending in the troops to do dystopian dictatorship stuff and that's not cool, but you know what really matters? A temporary extension of health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.

Gonna wrap it up here. Will presumably soon be more CNN trucks than protesters. The war will not be televised. Mainly because it doesn't exist 😅

Here’s my wild theory on the medbed thing. If I was a staffer who wanted to seed the conspiracy theory that Trump was still alive after he had passed, I’d seed the idea of some magic healing tech…. The idea of Eternal Trump would be very useful to some people in the future.

Just got word that at the Broadview, IL facility I protested at yesterday, ICE fascists arrested Dana Briggs, a U.S. Air Force Veteran. Trump claims he's getting "violent criminals" off our streets with ICE. No, he's going after military Veterans who oppose his fascist policies. Indefensible.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

Thirded.

And here is RFK Jr basing his acetaminophen recommendation on advice from a non-doctor, non-biostatistician who thinks prenatal ultrasounds lead to autism. www.wsj.com/business/tyl...

Oh Lordy.

Where are the assholes who screamed their heads off when Bill Clinton said hello to the AG on the tarmac? 🤔

Someone please tell Sean James — who abandoned the name Sean Burch upon shifting to writing lazy, pro-Trump garbage for Mediaite — that actually the former vice president’s claim of the closest margin this century is accurate.

That’s all?

TBH there is no way to design any system to counteract an executive declaring "I have all power and can exercise it arbitrarily" when a majority of the legislative and judicial branches responds with "that's right." Such a society is too primitive for modern governance and the rule of law.

“A Portland Police Bureau assistant chief said in court recently that federal police were “instigating” some of the clashes between officers and protesters outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland.” www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

This is SO important, but gets lost in the chaos of the day… she was FIRED for following the LAW 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

A federal government shutdown is nearing. Here’s a guide for what to expect. missouriindependent.com/2025/09/26/r...

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

FEMA leader David Richardson's ham-handed approach to disaster relief is painfully unacceptable. During the recent flooding in Texas, he was reportedly unreachable for 24 hours and has joked about deliberately delaying aid to Democratic-led states. He must be held accountable.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

FITCH: “.. Fitch’s baseline assumption is for U.S. consumption growth to slow through 2026 because of a deteriorating labor market, rising inflation and weakening consumer confidence.”
