I went to the ICE facility Trump claims is "under siege" by antifascists and "other domestic terrorists." There were four protesters there, one a thoughtful young man in a chicken costume www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

I got to talk about this very issue on #WITHpod with @chrislhayes.bsky.social. An electricity cost crisis is coming. We need efficiency, smart technologies and policies, resilient infrastructure, and lots of clean energy. open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"

Trump is releasing Amelia Earhart records for no reaso….. oh of course

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.

WATCH: “They are simply going too fast. I really think the speed at which they are trying to rip apart a free and open society is a huge tactical mistake on their part,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

right up there with slavery

“They are simply going too fast. I really think the speed at which they are trying to rip apart a free and open society is a huge tactical mistake on their part,” says Chris Hayes.

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.

#BREAKING: Over the dissents of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, #SCOTUS grants (yet another) stay to President Trump—this one allowing him to cease obligating $4 billion in foreign aid funding appropriated by Congress. I’ll post the link when it’s up.

Just a reminder that if you enjoy a book, please leave a quick review on Amazon or Bookshop dot org, or wherever. Even if it's only a sentence, it really, really helps get the word out to other readers.

Breaking news from Des Moines: ICE has detained Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Iowa's largest school district.

NEW: As Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy, conducted delicate cease-fire negotiations between Israel and Hamas this year, his son Alex quietly soliciting billions of dollars from some of the same Middle East governments. By Debra Kamin and Bradley Hope www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

I agree with this. I think there’s a secondary lesson that the confrontations need to be as in the open as possible, they need to be pushed into the open as much as possible.

This is one thing giant movie studios can still do--the crazy big swing that costs a lot of money and is not tied to an algorithm or concern about "viewer retention rate at minute three"--that no other entity can. It is one reason the film ecosystem still needs them.

I think any fair reading of the polls at this point, particularly among the electorate he’s trying to win, would have to conclude that this, in fact, popularism.

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

NEW Quinnipiac poll of registered U.S. voters: • Half now say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza • Only 47% see backing Israel as a U.S. interest, down from 69% in 2023 • 60% oppose more military aid to Israel • 58% favor UN recognition of a Palestinian state www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

I don’t think Roberts or ACB (or Kav) will take the off ramp being offered to them but striking down the tariffs is a no-brainer and I think probably a net political winner for the GOP.

Every day, Trump wakes up and thinks “what product should I make arbitrarily more expensive today?” Truck tariffs means drivers pay billions more for vehicles, companies/consumers pay more for shipping, & the benefits to truckmakers get outweighed by costs to other manufacturers

OUR BATHROOM MIRRORS ARE VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

Phenomenal writing about a sad sometimes enraging but also supremely comical figure. www.newyorker.com/culture/crit...

The circumstances of Mr. Escobar's arrest are even worse than the brief summary above. He repeatedly tried to tell the immigration officials that he had papers while they were arresting him. In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."

I am already the Joker, I am now in the process of becoming the Absolute Batman Joker

This is a hallmark of Trump with just about everyone, including numerous people I’ve talked to who have met privately with him. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

The administration has gone straight into Posting Mode without really even taking a more than a few seconds here and there to express sadness and grief for the person in detention who was murdered today. Trump’s statement on it doesn’t even mention it!

Brooke Rollins: "Soybean, corn, wheat, sorghum, cotton farmers are facing very difficult times. We are currently in conversations here at the White House, across the government, on a farmer aid package."

I talked about rising electricity bills & the need for clean electrification on #WITHpod with @chrislhayes.bsky.social. AI & data centers are spiking electricity demand, & the Administration is restricting the building of renewable energy. Prices are going up. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f653...

A sleeper political issue of the next few years is the rising costs of electricity. AI & data centers are driving up demand & the Trump Administration is making it harder to add clean energy supply. I joined @chrislhayes.bsky.social on #WITHpod to talk about it: open.spotify.com/episode/32ps...

Uruguay, y'all. I been sayin.

According to an exclusive by reporter @marisakabas.bsky.social, Disney was set to announce price increases for its streaming services on Tuesday, which may have hastened the ABC parent company's major decision Monday to bring Jimmy Kimmel's late night talk show back on air.

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

Missing this guy today

Trump, Kennedy et al claimed yesterday that Tylenol causes autism, which the evidence does not show. (There was a LOT of eliding of correlation vs. causation.) Here is what the evidence actually shows. Experts say Tylenol is the safest option to treat pain and fever during pregnancy.

in Greenland, the government owns a bunch of businesses--a fishing company that is the largest single employer, a shipping company, a ferry company, several retail and logistics companies, etc, and it all works pretty well?? I traveled there to investigate: prospect.org/world/2025-0...

A conservative who served with Noem in the state legislature went on the record to call her “a petty, vindictive person.” Imagine what people say about her in private! nymag.com/intelligence...

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

No but like…where is the money?

"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

Uuuugh. You can pitch "AI for nose hair removal" and have a billion dollars dumped on your head overnight, but perhaps the most important civic function in democratic politics is starving to death.

How bout every pregnant woman in the US gets a personal telehealth appointment w Trump and RFK Jr just to make sure they're cool with her treatment protocol?

As someone who, in middle age, increasingly finds myself reaching for a word that I can't quite remember, I understand why at 79 he could't quite come up with "rubella" but also maybe don't just riff on vaccine schedules on live TV based off vibes?
