There’s some 👀maneuvering going on in Louisiana. SoS Nancy Landry filed a brief in the VRA case at SCOTUS & asked for argument time. But now, the state’s AG has jumped in to tell SCOTUS she is assuming representation of Landry & firing the firm.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

This is what should happen when your opponent has no credibility.

That man is 46 years old. Fascism is worse than UV rays.

One of my favorite reads of this year. I highly recommend all of James Rebanks's books.

What else did you expect when you dehumanized undocumented immigrants by constantly portraying them as rapists, criminals and invaders. Dehumanization leads to violence!

So MSNBC says EDVA is going to indict Comey. Not that they have yet. Will a GJ do it? If so, imagine how broadly Comey might get discovery on vindictive prosecution claim? (Not to mention Maurene's lawsuit might get some of that itself.)

NEW: They're going to indict Jim Comey. This should be interesting.

evil

Fox News’s Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN, on national television. Maybe the FCC chairman should look into this, rather than a comedian‘s monologue. people.com/jesse-watter...

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Great job, Bill Cassidy.

Can't help but notice that the media breathlessly reporting on the messages that shooters write on their bullets seems to have been followed by a surge of shooters writing messages on bullets

Key line in the video below from Senate Majority Leader Thune: "This isn't an area that I think the FCC ought to be wandering into." The top Senate Republican has now called on Trump and Brendan Carr to stop their corrupt government crackdown on disfavored speech. That's the story here.

Petty assholes

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

This number keeps getting bigger as the actual economic numbers keep getting worse.

As I often told my students, "In politics, civility is a tactic, not a virtue."

BREAKING NEWS: TYLENOL RESEARCHERS FIND DISTURBING LINK BETWEEN DONALD TRUMP AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

Hillary Clinton: "Good lord -- the things that have been said about me, the lies that have been propagated. If I had only known I could call up the FCC chair and say, 'Take this person off the air! Off with his head!' You have to laugh about it so you don't cry."

Good morning. Nobody 3.5 year ago ever imagined that not only would Russia NOT have air superiority over Ukraine, but that Ukraine would be able to bomb Russian targets in Russia almost without intercept. Russia is failing

scoop: Karen Attiah, The Washington Post opinion writer fired by The Post earlier this month over social-media posts related to Charlie Kirk's death, has responded with a four-page letter, saying she was wrongfully terminated. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/b...

This @reuters.com summary makes it sound like Trump was offering up a normal, right coded speech instead of the insanity we all saw yesterday.

Let's take a trip into the future . . . open.substack.com/pub/robertma...

the NYT was literally JUST sued by Donald Trump and they still can't manage to report straight on stuff like this

Trump/MAGA have baited media into inflating Kirk into a world historical martyr, thus exaggerating the cultural pull of Trumpism. The reality: It's Trump's authoritarian abuses that are provoking a massive cultural and societal backlash. (h/t @gelliottmorris.com) newrepublic.com/article/2008...

kids, remember that you're still on the record until the interviewer agrees that you are off the record

DJT: I am using the state to punish criticism and extort people WH: this business decision was driven by DJT: No I am using the state to punish criticism and extort people WH: Unitary executive theory implies that DJT: I SAID I AM USING THE STATE TO PUNISH CRITICISM AND EXTORT PEOPLE FOR MONEY

The Kimmel monologue was 18 minutes of extraordinary, raw television that will be hated by the people who wanted him off the air for good. Trump and Brendan Carr lost this one as badly as it's possible to lose.

One way to judge the inherent decency and emotional health of a person is how they respond to minor inconveniences, say, a malfunctioning escalator. Just thought I’d post that, for no particular reason.

Wow. Who could have guessed that the Black administrator purge at LSU would result in the Black dean being replaced with a white dean?

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

Peak Trump administration is trying to get other people fired for their failures

I'm not exaggerating: tonight's @jimmykimmel.com is one of the historic moments in the history of television. He is directly calling out Trump's authoritarianism on the air.

Tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel monologue was a watershed moment for politics and free speech. He handled it with grace, dignity and humility. The more Trump comes after these people the less popular he will become.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

If Trump had a Cabinet that wasn't full of treasonous weasels, we'd be talking about invoking the 25th Amendment post haste. Not sure if it's senility or mental illness, but he's not capable of doing the job, and it's way past time for the DC/NY press to acknowledge and cover that obvious fact.

everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

It will not surprise you to learn that Jake Tapper hasn't posted anything to social media today about Trump's insane UN speech, but he has promoted his forthcoming book.

Just admitting the extortion, out in the open! Anyway, this is why you don't settle.

This may have been the most insane and incoherent four days of his presidency. Tylenol, the U.N., I hate my opponents, other countries are going to hell, this escalator's broken, I'm mad at a TV comedian, I like Ukraine now. It really feels as if some minimal tether to reality has snapped.

Excellent. More of this, please.

I'm sure if a Democratic elected official mandated that a left-wing organization had to be given access to all of a state's public schools, they would be completely fine with it and would never ever call it "grooming" or "indoctrination" or anything.
