It’s 2016 all over again gizmodo.com/cracker-barr...

We need teachers now more than ever. So I’ll close out the week with the wonderful @rweingarten.bsky.social who has a new NYT bestseller, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers.” Plus @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social on new Epstein docs and @nickvalencianews.bsky.social on ICE gone wild. See you soon.

"Discuss the announced event in detail w/ counsel, including whether an order to sign a loyalty oath or take an oral one is lawful. Unless you are entirely sure ... it may be that the best course of action is to sign nothing, and say nothing, especially until you have consulted competent counsel."

So many people have made last years election about Kamala Harris. Personally I don’t think people who can’t see beyond the candidate to understand the perilous situation we were in should have much to say. Last years election was not about Kamala Harris or Biden. It was about WHO we are.

Qday coming so much quicker than many of the "experts" out there are begging you to pay attention to. Just saying. It is happening, and coming sooner than anyone thinks. Watch as the WH creates quantum as national security priority emphasis within a few weeks.

We continue to monitor Hurricane Humberto and AL94 in the Atlantic. Make sure to check hurricanes.gov for the latest forecast.

Even Teddy Roosevelt (our least "woke" president ever) called Wounded Knee "a massacre," in which "squaws, children, unarmed Indians, and armed Indians who had surrendered were killed, sometimes cold-bloodedly and with circumstances of marked brutality." 5/

During my town hall, someone asked me what they could do to stand up to authoritarianism. Despite what the cynics say, you have power. All it takes is one person speaking up for somebody else. It is small acts that can change the course of this country.

We used to help countries defend themselves against stuff like this. Under this administration, that help has been stopped. www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/e...

This is disturbing on many levels

James Comey’s indictment isn’t the endgame, it’s the beginning. The first domino in Trump’s plan to corrupt the DOJ: silencing opponents, intimidating donors, and laying the groundwork to undermine the next election. This is about whether the future belongs to the rule of law—or the rule of one man.

I’ve written about several traditional French soups, each simple, rustic, homey: onion soup, leek & potato soup, split pea soup and my favorite of them all: aïgo-boulido, provençal garlic soup. It’s what I need now to warm my body and calm my soul. So do you jamieschler.substack.com/p/aigo-bouli...

It is nice sometimes to know that focused hard work really pays off.

It is a gross abuse of power and just plain gross.

Another headline that I had to read multiple times because I didn’t think it was right

Suddenly reminded of those FEMA budget cuts meant to offset billions of taxpayer dollars that are being wasted on ICE raids

The Supreme Court’s rationale for granting absolute immunity, *even for “sham” prosecutions*, is that it would prevent a president from going after his predecessor. So it protects former presidents (sort of), but no one else. Great job, CJ

Stanley Cup finals: 2.5M NCAA Men’s Final Four: 15M World Series: 15.8M NBA finals: 16.4M Oscars: 19.7M Jimmy Kimmel: 26M

5 years ago, I quit my White House role and spoke out against Trump. It cost me my career, but truth mattered more. From my break with Trump to Kamala Harris’ blunt truths today, the test remains: who will speak up, and who will stay silent? Courage is still rare.

Obviously, the president shouldn’t prosecuted his political enemies but this one is very annoying (and too tall and writes terrible trashy novels and really messed up the 2016 election and then was insufficiently apologetic about it.)

"As a result of the internal turmoil, 131 leases expired without the government actually vacating the properties. The situation has exposed the agencies -- and therefore taxpayers -- to steep fees..." www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

We were mad when he called Mar-a-Lago the “southern White House”….wait until he starts calling the White House the “northern Mar-a-Lago”….

Stupid energy

That seems .... like the revenge reality TV show is back on the air again ... because stupid is as stupid does

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

For whatever reason, I’ve never watched Jimmy Kimmel’s show. But I did tonight. His monologue on free speech was well delivered. It reminded me of the MANY liberties we should vehemently protect.

For all of MAGA that bought a disney subscription they are going to need some Tylenol and Starbucks after watching Jimmy Kimmel stay true to himself tonight.

Kimmel’s monologue was excellent

“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote,“‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?” Hes absolutely transparently stark raving mad. Trump’s UN adventure @hcrichardson.bsky.social heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-...

UK arrested man suspected of conducting cyberattack that affected European airports last wk. Collins Aerospace, maker of software impacted by hack, "appears to be rebuilding the system...after trying to relaunch it on Monday" and told airlines to expect "at least another week" without the program

Comedy always leads, but when Jimmy Kimmel said, Donald Trump can't take a joke, I thought he offered a seminal insight into how the country got here. We're here because a petty but (inexplicably to me) charismatic man seized control of government to exercise his personal need for revenge.

Dear @sangernyt.bsky.social: Instead of relying on what “news organizations consider,” report it straight: the proposed rules set out by the Department of Defense under Secretary Pete Hegseth seeking to establish new constraints on journalists are *unconstitutional*.

The science is absolutely clear— there is no link. Full stop.

Will this be the moment that wakes people up?

The worst thing we can do at this moment is be cynical.

This is best story by far about the SIM farm uncovered in New York by Secret Service. The intent of the farm is not, as suggested by other stories, to disrupt Secret Service protection of dignitaries attending the UN or taking out mobile service for all NY but about managing criminal enterprises

This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing. Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.

Wrote this earlier in the week for ⁦‪@thebulwark but it was posted right before the President’s UN speech. Coincidence? www.thebulwark.com/p/no-trump-h...

People can’t afford a 70% hike in their health insurance costs. They’re already barely scraping by as it is. That’s what we’re trying to solve. Meanwhile, he’s throwing a temper tantrum because we are using our leverage to get a deal to SAVE AMERICANS’ HEALTH CARE.
