Can we get some focus on the perfidy of Speaker Mike Johnson? So much of Trump’s excesses are made possible because Johnson has disabled the House as a check on the President. He has handed Trump his gavel symbolically and in reality. We need to focus on Trump’s enablers.

Breaking news from Des Moines: ICE has detained Dr. Ian Roberts, the superintendent of Iowa's largest school district. The Des Moines Public Schools said "We have no confirmed information as to why Dr. Roberts is being detained or the next potential steps." www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/09/26/i...

What in the absolute FUCK. The only words I have right now are F-bombs.

“In China, more electric cars will be sold in the last quarter of this year than the total number of all cars sold in the US.” This is how China extends its advantage while Trump screws up U.S. auto production.

Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."

Trump's UN speech was his most embarrassing showing since the "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL" one

"Where Nixon had to contend with a Supreme Court that rejected his claim of absolute immunity and a Congress that stood ready to impeach him, the other branches of govt these days have no interest in reining in Trump. He can do a Watergate every week safe in the knowledge that no one will stop him."

STEPHANOPOULOS: Are you standing by your comment that no one has died because of the aid cuts? Are all those aid organizations lying? RUBIO: They died because England didn't give enough money or Canada didn't give more or China didn't. Let's blame the other countries that don't do any foreign aid.

"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

The money they had been saving to hire a lawyer to appeal their deportation case will now, Nory told us, go toward the burial. Her teacher, Darcy White, has set up a GoFundMe to help Nory: www.gofundme.com/f/plz-help-n...

NEW: Recently we reported on L.A. honor student and track star Nory Sontay Ramos and her mom Estela, deported after a routine immigration check-in. Weeks after we met them in Guatemala, where they were in hiding, Estela died suddenly. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/d...

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

Only in America is the report of children being shot at school knocked out of the news by another shooting on the same day.

Hard not to think about all the other victims of gun violence who are so quickly forgotten. Charlie Kirk's death was the 46th US school, college or university shooting for 2025. The 47th happened just afterwards, in Denver. There will probably be another one, at least, next week.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

Scoop: FEMA just let the money expire for the group that manages inter-state coordination during disasters. When resources come from other states after a hurricane, fire, or terror attack, that's because of the group that FEMA just stopped paying for.

180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.

Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

Here, fixed it.

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

Latest CBO analysis of the full distributional effects of the Trump budget (the "One Big Bill") just landed. They blew out the budget, see how big of a slice you got. www.cbo.gov/interactive/...

They are going to burn up billions in taxpayer funded equipment because they don’t want Americans to have access to scientific proof

This is not a coding error.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

The most corrupt White House in history. Here is an account of what people are paying, directly to a PAC called MAGA Inc, in order to meet the president, get pardons, change policy www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...

Trump’s Texas gerrymander would give Republicans nearly 80% of seats in state where he got 56% of vote This is direct result of John Roberts & conservative SCOTUS majority gutting Voting Rights Act & refusing to stop blatant partisan gerrymandering www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

The five-day trip will also raise his second-term golf tab to $52 million in just six months. He spent $152 million during his first term.

The administration will incinerate enough food to feed 1.5 million children for a week. When it burns, its label will read: THIS PRODUCT IS A GIFT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. 500 tons, from us, to no one. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Why? In part, because the destruction of USAID has made it near impossible to distribute the food. Calculations suggest that it could have fed every starving child in Gaza for a week. And roughly a million dollars up in smoke — due to DOGE.

let's take stock here: (Democratic) Presidents, via the Dept of Education, can't cancel student debt because statutes don't clearly authorize it. Republican Presidents can cancel/shut down the Dept of Education because, even though only Congress can shut down departments ..., ... 🤷‍♀️ YOLO?

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated). It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings. It has written majority opinions in only 3. Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Red states, defying reality, are reclassifying gas as a “green” fuel [from our @climatedesk.org partners, @grist.org]

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.

The FDA is going to stop testing milk for pathogens like I DON'T KNOW, BIRD FLU???? These people are actively trying to kill us. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
