“…bucking tradition…”?? You guys. No

As basic question from an ex-police reporter: Can some of our journalists detail the training regimen all these new federal agents receive? The lethal incompetence involving use of force and perameters of the 4A suggests they are just handed guns, masks and badges and told to go fuck people up.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

I only have a second rn but: For the uninitiated, Zeteo is a new media company, a startup from former msnbc host Mehdi Hasan. One of my rolling stone editors and I came over to help scale up the political reporting / scoops operations. It is, in my humble opinion, one of the most exciting news…

This is it #trumpshutdown 🎥: @warnock.senate.gov

Rockton Meet & Greet with @nolleyforcongress.bsky.social

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

"‘F***ing Dumbass’: Trump Officials Want Howard Lutnick Sidelined After Epstein Comments" Trump's commerce secretary called Epstein ‘the greatest blackmailer ever' & his colleagues are now super mad at him. Another scoop from Zeteo's newest reporter @swin24.bsky.social:

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

We’re united with baristas in their fight for a fair contract. And if Starbucks’ failure to bargain in good faith forces them to go on strike, you’ll find me on the picket line.

New year ✨ New mayor ✨ We, the nation’s largest domestic focused progressive Jewish advocacy organization, announce our first ever mayoral endorsement today: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for New York City Mayor. 🧵

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election. In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

Brazil, France ... hey look all the powerhouse contenders for the World Cup seems to have functioning democracies with real accountability for the ruling elites for their corruption and crimes. Must be nice.

The Department of Defense has quietly delayed its cleanup of harmful “forever chemicals” at nearly 140 military installations across the U.S., according to a list of sites analyzed by The New York Times.

Elon Musk has spent the past year obsessing over Pakistani child-rape gangs in the UK. Meanwhile, allegedly, in his own immediate family:

What a dumb time for Kamala Harris to peddle her dumb book.

After DOGE outed Mohammad Halimi on social media, Taliban intelligence agents blindfolded and took three of his family members to a remote prison. They were repeatedly beaten and questioned about Halimi and his recently publicized work for the United States.

Good morning from the ICE detention/processing facility in Broadview, IL, where pepper balls are already being deployed. A few moments ago a federal agent responded to early morning protestor heckling by firing pepper balls at the ground. Meanwhile one of his colleagues urges him to come inside.

outside the detention/“processing” facility in broadview, illinois: a crowd of protesters, some of whom showed up before 5 am, is heckling ice agents arriving to work. a few minutes ago, special response team agents came out to push protesters away from the driveway. pepper balls already flying.

Or…and hear me out now…they could just bring him back

these people are genuinely idiots

Trump is now targeting Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, along with what could be read as making an implied threat to NBC:

ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air. This comes after Trump's FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatened to revoke ABC's broadcast licenses over Kimmel's monologue on Charlie Kirk.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Even before knowing exactly why Mr. Kirk was killed, I think there are some disturbing and necessary insights that can be drawn from his horrible death,” writes the streamer Hasan Piker, who was set to debate Charlie Kirk later this month.

The U.S. government is trying to deport Ohio children’s hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, alleging tenuous connections to terrorism. If DHS succeeds, experts say it could hand the Trump admin. a “sledgehammer” to use on mass deportations. ➡️ Read the full story: www.propublica.org/article/ayma...

George Soros doesn’t fund @thenation.com of course. I know that’s hard for JD Vance to understand since billionaires fund his entire existence. But, anyway, if there *are* billionaires interested in funding us, please call. I really need a new car. :)

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul endorses NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/o...

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

Following Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s criticism of Democratic leadership for refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries’ spokesman mocks: “Chris Van Who?”

It's one thing for a random NY politician to make a quip like this but Jeffries is national leadership. He's the leader my own Rep in the House is supposed to follow. I don't think it's funny, I think Jeffries is undermining the whole party with this insult and by failing to endorse Mamdani.

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people? He still has a job. No apology. No retraction. Just let us know, Fox.

for sure

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

At a time when right-wing extremists are calling for open season on liberals and the left, the president of the United States just told them: Hey, go for it. “I couldn’t care less” about radicals on the right, Trump explicitly said. trib.al/AtFFOB5

🧵 Teachers being reported and fired over commentary disagreeing with Charlie Kirk’s stances is next level. He was not an elected official, though teachers and other citizens aren’t obligated to not hold politicians to account. That we are protecting social media influencers above others is insane.

Great story from @arthurallen202.bsky.social on the FDA moving to abandon advisory committees, which critics say would shield the agency's decisions from public scrutiny: www.statnews.com/2025/09/12/f...

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Us old folks need a @taylorlorenz.bsky.social analysis of all this!

They had these people and they pushed every single one of them out of their newsrooms after they were targeted by reactionary online [email protected] has spoken up about this and sounded the alarm for years.

basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain

💯 agree!

The fact that right-wingers commit the vast bulk of domestic terrorism in the US is well-established by numerous expert investigations & reports. But the right *accuses* the left more often, makes more *noise* about it, so they've bullied reporters into framing this as a "both sides" problem.
