Kamala is right. Zohran Mamdani is the Democratic nominee—he won fair and square. We all have a responsibility to support him, even if we have some disagreements.

I said what I said.

RFKjr cherry-picks data even more than he picks up road kill. And he picks up one helluva lot of roadkill.

No one could have done a better job running for president in just 2½ months than VP Kamala Harris. No one. See what she was up against straight out of the gate? Friends and frenemies…

The Pentagon Papers case gives us important insight into why having a free press matters so much. This week has taught us that we have a role to play in protecting the 1st Amendment, & (to quote a woman who would have made a great president), when we fight, we win. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

God, I sure hope the Rapture is tomorrow and that everyone who believes in it goes. The rest of us will experience Heaven on Earth.

Need to do some more research but I wouldn't be surprised if Sinclair has opened itself up to major lawsuits due to past and current behavior...

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Kamala Harris was held to a higher standard than any vice president in history—an impossible one. She was locked into Biden’s playbook, yet the media still expected her to be everywhere, doing everything, for everyone. “Where is Kamala?” Busy being the VP to President Joe Biden, as was her job.

I’m with Robert Reich and Ezra Klein: Don’t cooperate with the fascists by giving them the votes they need to keep their corrupt and tyrannical regime running and violating people’s rights as they entrench their power: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

“The deference and latitude that Congress and the Supreme Court have granted the executive will not necessarily snap back as soon as a new president is in office; dismantled institutions and discarded habits will not magically reconstitute themselves.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/o...

“This is a moment . . .for restraint, rather than cycles of vengeance or the suspension of civil liberties, as some urged on Wednesday.” To blame the assassin, as we must, isn’t to absolve those whose violent rhetoric set a tone that encouraged violent action. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

Thank heaven Jennifer Rubin left the Washington Post, where Jeff Bezos would’ve refused to run so forthright an endorsement of Justice Sotomayor’s irrefutable refutation of six of her colleagues and her scathing but totally warranted takedown of Justice Kavanaugh! open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Lest we forget: This is what justice in a constitutional republic looks like! Trump’s plot to overturn the 2020 election included calls to hang Pence, parallel to Bolsonaro’s calls to kill his opponent. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/w...

WTF? Does “the right way” to “practice politics” include lying re factual matters (eg saying Black Women have too little brainpower to be “taken seriously”)? Mourning Kirk’s murder & defending his right to make his wild claims doesn’t excuse praising his political MO www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

MAGA has radicalized its own base. No matter how much they spin and attack "the left," the reality remains their base is now a massive threat to both national security and other Republicans. Parts of the base don't believe Kash Patel on Epstein or Charlie Kirk's murder. Whoopsie.

Voting is the foundation of our democracy and the freedom that safeguards all others. On National Voter Registration Day, let us honor the legacy of those who sacrificed so much to secure it. Register to vote or check your registration at IWillVote.com.

Gee, I wonder why. www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

I feel like Kash came very close to saying in today's hearing that the Epstein survivors aren't credible. Which is consistent with Todd Blanche letting Ghislaine slander them in her "proffer."

Happy Mexican Independence Day, Illinois.

Charlie Kirk apparently had a "secret sister" who was a liberal Bernie supporter. Mary Kirk is a 29-year-old Chicago art curator whose progressive views stand in sharp opposition to her brother's conservative activism. www.rawstory.com/charlie-kirk...

TikTok misusing our personal data is bad. Selling TikTok to a Trump-aligned billionaire family and one of his biggest political donors is even worse.

JUST IN: Former GOP Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a fierce Trump critic who supported Kamala Harris, is running for Georgia governor as a Democrat. “I’m running for governor…to make Georgia the frontline of democracy and a backstop against extremism.”

Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social on the Epstein files: This is not just about the crimes that happened. This is about the White House cover-up.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor tore into Pam Bondi: “Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalise free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed.”

BREAKING: A Day After Charlie Kirk was shot, the Trump DOJ Deleted a Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing.

TikTok will officially become a surveillance tool for the Trump regime and its billionaire backers. Larry Ellison helped build the detention and surveillance state in China via his company—Oracle—and now he’ll do it here. Spread the news, tell your friends, and encourage everyone to delete TikTok.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks. Joy Reid nailed it.

"Do we understand what the difference is between a king and president?" Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked at an event in Manhattan today.

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

🚨BIG NEWS: Republicans just quietly added a line to a defense bill that would empower the Pentagon and Pete Hegseth to deploy armed private mercenaries inside the U.S. at the southern border for the first time in American history.

Robert Redford on Donald Trump: “It is painfully clear we have a president who degrades everything he touches, a person who does not understand (or care?) that his duty is to defend our democracy.

“In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump’s DOJ deleted a study from its site stating right-wing violence ‘continues to outpace all other types of terrorism & domestic violent extremism’ in 🇺🇸 — The study was available online until Friday.” newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

Putin should not be forgiven.

In case you were curious how things were going, Kash “See you in Valhalla” Patel went full on looney tunes Colonel Jessep during a Senate hearing today.

Sounds like Kashyap Patel’s performance for one wasn’t well-received by the rest of the administration. On the bright side, if he gets fired he can always go back to podcasting

Start in the Oval Office, Pam.

We haven’t forgotten about the Epstein files. This isn’t going away, Donald. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TdD8bmSU-g

A president using the power of the state to punish critics — or to condition basic government services on political fealty — is not merely rough politics. It is aimed at crushing dissent and free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

I wrote this hours after Charlie Kirk was murdered. Before we really knew any details. Before legacy outlets pushed misinformation. Before the killer was caught. I stand by every word. He did this for himself. Selfishly. Moronically. Destructively. This was about himself.

DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."

Why does Kash Patel wear his eyeballs outside his face?

This seems completely unbelievable
