Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

So, which media outlet is digging into the White House general contractor's background and supply chains?

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record: This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

Did I miss any updates on the investigation into the motive of Charlie Kirk’s killer? It feels like that just disappeared as a story, which is strange considering his exaltation within GOP and making his murder into a national event. I’d think we’d be getting hearing about it frequently

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious: - Super Bowl halftime entertainer - getting a Nobel Prize for Trump - terrifying naked bike riders Topics he thinks are not serious: - Epstein Files - domestic violence - being able to keep the govt open - the neutering of Congress

ICE is thug trash.

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

It’s always so obvious that Pam Bondi would rather be yelling at a waiter than doing whatever she’s doing

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Small point about the coverage of Hegseth’s stupid convening: Trump has not “renamed” the Department of Defense something else. He *calls* it that. If I started calling the president “Adolf,” one would not say that I had “renamed him Adolf.” He has no more authority to rename DOD than I do him.

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

Secretary of Warcrimes

He's the fucking governor. If he wants the National Guard in Louisiana, he can do it himself. This isn't about that. It's about making a public display of ideological subservience to totalitarianism.

I don't think it was the best time, but there was a "millenium approaching" pre-dotcom bust period when, briefly, the future seemed bright, the only time in my life when optimism seemed to be the zeitgeist

Kavanaugh stops

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

The US has gone from "walk softly and carry a big stick" to "react to every perceived slight like the most insecure guy in the room"

They thought they were the kind of highly skilled engineers ​who could help fulfill President Trump’s goal of reviving American​ manufacturing. Mr. Cho was checking his team’s balance sheets in his office when he saw helicopters and armored vehicles outside. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/w...

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Kirk wasn't complicated. He was a hateful mother fucker who loved power and money.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

In reality, despite the manner of his death, Kirk was a hate monger, an absolutely vicious misogynist, and a conspirator against American democracy. Let’s not sell tickets to his “spiritual journey.”

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein. This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov won't stop until the truth comes to light.

I really think that Dems should demand firing RFK Jr. as a condition to fund the government his negative value over replacement cabinet member is undoubtedly the highest in the administration

Please go to support.abc.com and "submit programming feedback", tell them to reinstate Kimmel. Takes about a minute. Let's flood them.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

The Kimmel video: "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Posting a criticism of Charlie Kirk - much less noting something outrageous he himself said - is not “celebrating” his murder. Nor is it condoning his murder. It is simply saying that his political career and legacy are not something to be celebrated. And that is not the same thing at all.

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

How about that.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

When some maga bigot shoots a bunch of kids, or a synagogue, or a mosque, or a Walmart, or a supermarket, that's a lone wolf with mental problems. When it's one of theirs who get shot, it's a sophisticated leftist plot, and every single liberal is in on it. That's how it works for the magas.

See? This is a good political response to what happened (if you must). Acknowledge, but make sure you get in something about how the right is constantly fomenting violence.

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.
