Decided to turn an episode of the Bulwark off when @daveweigel.bsky.social said he likes Charlie Kirk personally. I mean, who doesn't like a wild racist personally.

Speaker Johnson kicked me out of his office. Here's why.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one? Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People. There you go.

you are missing incredible things on X

WATCH: While federal judges decide whether Portland protesters’ behavior constitutes a rebellion, ProPublica set out to examine the degree to which they were inciting unrest and the role that federal officers played.

UPDATE: Karoline Leavitt said that USDA will in fact be paying out the partial SNAP payments in compliance with the court. Trump "does not want to have to tap into this fund in the future, and that’s what he was referring to in his true social post," she said.

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle. Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ABC News pulled the satellite imagery of the White House comparing Sept. 26 to today. abcnews.go.com/Politics/new...

Honestly, you can’t make this shit up.

Damn 😔 RIP, to such a sweet voice. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/14/a...

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Happy indigenous peoples day

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...

typically you don't receive play by plays of what a grand jury is doing

Our nation’s servicemembers will miss a paycheck on Wednesday unless Congress acts. Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to call a vote to pay our troops.

Advice to journalists: find out who made money trading on this deal happening.

They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm.

this is so fucking pathetic

Remember when Repubs said that Bill Clinton was selling night stays (Lincoln Bedroom) at the White House?

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨 Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said at the Cabinet meeting that her department is buying buildings in Chicago and Portland out of which to base immigration enforcement operations. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

President Trump’s move to cut billions from energy and infrastructure projects is killing thousands of American construction jobs. It’s not just me saying it…here’s what lots of those workers have to say 🧵

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

Bari Weiss has officially been announced as the editor in chief of CBS News. “She’s not a reporter; she’s never been in the field,” a 60 Minutes producer told Adam Piore for a recent profile of CBS. “Talk about controversies.” www.cjr.org/feature/cbs-...

I wrote about Bari Weiss as the grim future of mainstream media under billionaire control: defector.com/bari-weiss-s...

Important to keep in mind that while the Republican-state governors sending their National Guard into Democratic states definitely think of this as conquering US, a victory for the Confederacy, those National Guard are probably pissed they are being sent away from jobs/family for this absurd mission

What's consistent: the hyperventilating claims put out by DHS turn out invariably to be untrue. Yet another example.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Sir. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/30/m...

Pete Hegseth gives rodeo clowns a bad name.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Here’s 3 full minutes of @kaitlancollins trying to get @SpeakerJohnson to admit undocumented people can’t get federal health care, and Johnson repeating the lie over and over anyway. Republicans are kicking people off insurance then lying about who they’re doing it to.

WHO IS THIS POS? www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Who is this person? He sure as shit isn’t a man.

Who is this asshole who slammed this woman against the wall and when she fell stood over her? All while her children watched. She wanted to say goodbye to her husband before he was taken away forever to who knows where. Why is he such a coward that he covers his badge number? Someone has to know him

It’s getting embarrassing with #Purdy. He can’t move the ball. $260 million down the drain. #NFL #FTTB #49ers

“Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t doing politics right.” —Ezra Klein

ABC Is Doing Cancel Culture the Right Way by Ezra Klein

ABC affiliate owner Nexstar also owns the feckless gossip rag the The Hill, and has been lobbying the FCC for approval of of a $6.2 billion merger with Nexstar, if that helps connect some of the dots for the Jimmy Kimmel cancellation for you

ABC’s decision was announced almost immediately after Nexstar, which owns dozens of ABC stations across the country, said it would no longer air Kimmel’s program. Nexstar is currently seeking approval from Trump’s FCC for a $6.2 billion merger with rival TEGNA. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/tru...

Earlier this year, Utah Republicans passed a "Campus Carry" law (HB 128), which allows individuals aged 18+ to carry a firearm, either openly or concealed, on college campuses, provided they hold a valid Utah Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP).
