Reminder that in the Trump immunity ruling, the Supreme Court ruled specifically that the president has total immunity when it comes to his communications with Justice Department officials:

the fact that in multiple cases the Supreme Court has worked to legalize bribery in the United States is a major corrosion of our civil order

Michael Buffer Voice: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN… LET’S GET READY TO GRIEVE!!!

The timeline: 1) Trump tweets out his DM but excludes Lindsey Halligan's last name, making it look like he was talking Graham 2) He deletes that and reposts w/her last name 3) He bridges from that to NOMINATING Halligan 4) He asserts he has APPOINTED Halligan

I want to write something so amazing that more than a century later, people are baking cookies that resemble my main character.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

The Murphy jawboning case was not-great behavior but overblown and rightly dismissed. But there's literally no evidence, nobody has ever come forward and said, Biden or anybody on his team ever said anything to the social media companies about booting Trump, either before or after Biden took office.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Caught today’s @arsenalfc.bsky.social match with Spike Lee in Fort Greene (not a sentence I ever thought I'd get to write).

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

If Tom Homan did nothing wrong, the Department of Justice should have no issue releasing the Homan files and the video of the alleged bribery to clear this up. And while they’re at it, go ahead and release the Epstein files and clear Trump’s name. Shouldn’t be hard!

Ironically, by demanding prosecution, Trump may have given his “enemies list” a built in defense if he can find a prosecutor to indict them: Selective or vindictive prosecution is grounds for dismissal joycevance.substack.com/p/show-me-th...

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Seems like ABC flexed their muscle and reminded Sinclair of how the affiliate’s contract was binding. Which could signal an agreement on the horizon…

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

NEW: Reporters at the Pentagon have been told they can no longer report information which has not been approved. Those who refuse will lose their press credentials - WaPo

Sent this to the Nobel Committee on August 20th. SO much has happened since then I feel like I need to write a new letter. #Nobel #NoDictator

Katie Fallow from @knightcolumbia.org said the new policy is part of “the Trump administration’s broader assault on free speech and press freedom.” “A reporter who publishes only what the government ‘authorizes’ is doing something other than reporting,” she said.

The Charlie Kirk shooter reportedly used Donald Trump's name as an alias on the Steam platform www.techspot.com/news/109539-...

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

If this dogshit reporting doesn't make it clear, cops shot this kid with rubber bullets then when that didn't kill him used real bullets which did kill him, the kid No police were harmed, or even scared He was also unarmed, which is why they weren't scared of the kid saying he wanted to shoot cops

‘Jesus, Take the Wheel’ songwriter dies in plane crash Brett James, one of the songwriters behind Carrie Underwood’s hit “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” has died. James and two others were killed Thursday in North Carolina, when their plane crashed into a field around 3 p.m. www.mlive.com/news/2025/09...

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

9-0 SCOTUS ruling from last year: “Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors.”

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

NRA v. Vulio (2022), by a unanimous Supreme Court: "Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors."

A draft Authorization for Use of Military Force, circulating in exec branch & on the Hill, would grant Trump the power to kill people he deems narcoterrorists and to attack any nations he says are aiding/harboring them (e.g. a Venezuela regime change war). www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Hey now, young Frankenstein's Monster was far more eloquent and understandable.

the most interesting part of this reporting is that they didn't pull him off the air for what he had *already* said, they pulled him off the air for what he was *going* to say, which, i expect, has them in quite the pickle now, because he's unlikely to be *more* conciliatory after this

"macrohard" jesus fucking christ

We have two new grand babies and we were excited about watching Disney with them. But we canceled it and bought three Disney dvds from a secondhand store. I will be looking for more—I will only purchase secondhand, so no money goes to Disney.

Our family is all aboard the screw ABC/Disney/Hulu movement and after cancelling Hulu we aren't watching @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social for the first time in years. Sorry @kenjennings.bsky.social -Until Kimmel is reinstated, no more Jeopardy for us. #ScrewABC

I had this exact same experience this morning. Same reporter as Heidi. This is *not* normal. I have spoken to the press on these issues for two decades. No government official has ever demanded to know my identity in order to give a comment on a story.
