This is really good work.

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores? We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

FWIW, the current stats: 11.0 IP, 13 Runs, 9.00 ERA, 10 Ks, 2.545 WHIP and a 1-4 record

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Imagine devoting your entire life to prostrating yourself before this man and when you die trying to further his movement he eulogizes you by saying "lmao skill issue git gud"

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone. The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

Finally, someone willing to ask the questions we're all demanding answers to.

Typically when presidents are oblivious to things the press would go on with a news cycle about how the president is “aloof” and out of touch. It’s just one of many things Trump can exhibit without consequence.

Derrick Henry from 2023-2024: 3 fumbles on 694 offensive touches. Derrick Henry in 2025: 3 fumbles on 43 offensive touches.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

If you want to cancel Disney, but are reluctant to do so because your kids like to watch one or more of its shows, then this is an opportunity for you to step up and be a good parent. Explain to them why you are cancelling it. Teach them about doing the right thing. Kids are smarter than you think.

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

That the media cites a "far-left anti-fascism group Antifa" without pointing out that there is no such group remains wild. Like, did you call the head of Antifa to get a reaction? No? Because that person doesn't exist? Maybe point that out.

“He’s not an autocrat because he won an election” is a world historically stupid take. Read a book!

The groups are calling on lawmakers to affirm that any budget they approve will include specific funding levels outlined in the document to support basic school programming.

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

Shootings on campus are always bad.

Breaking News: A House committee obtained a sexually suggestive drawing apparently signed by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, which Trump had denied existed.

Spoken like a man found liable for sexual abuse.

Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger. You didn’t earn the right to wear it. Stolen valor at its worst.

This week on MichMash, Alethia and I discuss how the big pressure point for public schools is Oct. 20 if there is no state budget in place by Oct. 1. The guest is @mccannr1.bsky.social of the K-12 Alliance of Michigan. Listen on any podcast platform!

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

This a really solid pummeling, and Farage has earned every ounce of it.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

If Obama or Biden had said this, it would be rightfully understood as them arrogating dictatorial authority to themselves, it would be the only thing anyone in the media or opposition would talk about for a year, and it would probably end their presidency. For Trump, it’s literally just Tuesday.

"When schools can't be sure any specific funding source will be available to them, they can't fill positions that rely on them. The legislature's failure to pass a budget is THE reason this is happening." www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Been trying to figure out the expression here and it’s when a dog has a grape in its mouth and you have to be like spit it out Ranger, Ranger you can’t have grape, and Ranger is like no I love grape

The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.

watching national reporters who live in DC do this is really embarrassing. no one speaking at this conference was raising a legitimate issue.

So...somebody anonymous claims that a convicted sex offender who's now facing a perjury trial and trolling for a pardon says she didn't personally see anything? Well, I guess that wraps this whole thing up!

NEW FOIA Files SCOOP: The FBI redacted Trump’s name—and the names of other prominent public figures—from the Epstein files under two privacy exemptions before DOJ & FBI concluded “no further disclosure” of the files “would be appropriate or warranted.” www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Again, when Trump complained that he could no longer “date” 17-year-old girls, he was 53 years old.

Since 1963, Michigan's last seven governors took an average of 14 days to call special elections to fill 113 vacancies. But a seat in the state senate -- where Democrats hold a one-seat majority -- has been vacant for *194* days. Whitmer has yet to call a special election. @freep.com editorial:

Check cashed.

Kamala Harris campaigned on making home care part of Medicare, which would’ve greatly eased the issue of caring for our parents. But Trump won so we not only didn’t get that, we’re getting devastation of nursing homes as well. This is going to ruin a lot of families.

Gender affirming care for cis folks gets celebrated.

If you ask the new Grok (via grok.com without any custom instructions) for opinions on controversial topics it runs a search on X to see what Elon thinks I know this sounds like a joke but it's not. This genuinely happens: x.com/jeremyphowar...

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.
