I follow @johnfugelsang.bsky.social on his many media, and am now reading Separation of Church and Hate, which is a must-read. Here, with @jordanklepper.bsky.social Klepper on @thedailyshow.com. Must-watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj3O...

Watching the 50th Anniversary broadcast of 60 Minutes. I watched the first, and most in between. I’ve published about it. Glad it continues to set the standard of compelling journalism that matters.

Is anyone surprised to find that JD Vance's patron Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon had scheduled meetings with Epstein, or that Elon Musk was scheduled to fly to his island? Trump scrambles to change the subject. @heathercoxrichardson.substack.com.web.brid.gy open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

How it's done.

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social "hey, remember when Kamala Harris warned everyone that Donny Convict would send the military after us — and the press was all 'shut the fuck up, laughing lady, prove you worked at McDonald’s'? It was fun, wasn't it?" www.jefftiedrich.com/p/a-police-s...

Trump shoehorns himself into the all-general-officer-and-senior-enlisted meeting, upstaging Hegseth and changing the security posture. @washingtonpost.com Exclusive. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

@davidfrenchjag.bsky.social “The Department of Justice is prosecuting a former director of the F.B.I., and it’s doing so not because there is clear evidence of a crime, but because there is clear evidence that the president wants revenge.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/o...

In the same breath AG Bondi says weaponization of DOJ is over and then names ways DOJ is being weaponized against Trump’s enemies. www.thedailybeast.com/pam-bondi-li...

The retribution tour continues. Trump insists that Microsoft fire its head of global affairs Lisa Monaco, who was deputy AG under Biden. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

How it’s done.

Got my copy. Eating it up. Must-reading. Equips us to stand up to Christian nationalists.

Well, I guess Portland really is under siege! Oh, my God! What a fucking nightmare.

MTG worried about retribution for signing the discharge petition to vote on the release of the Epstein Files.

@jojofromjerz.bsky.social "Defiance matters more than anything right now. This is not politics. This is cruelty dressed as law. Fear written into governance." open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Days after a world leader pleads with U.S. military to not turn weapons on Americans, Trump directs them to do just that. But: Portland is not under attack. Antifa is an ideology, not a group. He doesn’t have the authority to do it. Pretext and lies. Deranged.

Trump told world leaders at UN that global climate change is a scam. Others, including a prime minister whose nation may soon be under water, beg to differ. apnews.com/article/clim...

Rubio’s elevated diplomacy. Colombia’s president said, “I ask all the soldiers of the United States Army not to point their guns at humanity,” he said. “Disobey the orders of Trump. Obey the orders of humanity.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/u...

Sacramento US Attorney fired for insisting that ICE abide by a court order. So more of DOJ saying Fuck You to the courts. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

@jefftiedrich.bsky.social "after three days of enduring President Rottinghands McRagebaby’s infantile whining about his harrowing battle with the UN’s Moving Steps of Death, Donny’s handlers finally figured out a way to get him to shut the fuck up about it." www.jefftiedrich.com/p/yup-these-...

@charliesyl.bsky.social This feels different because it is... open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Everything he says is projection or confession. I have a view of Comey, but of the two, who is “one of the worst human beings this country has ever been exposed to”?

@thomhartmann.bsky.social They're playing a very dangerous game... hartmannreport.com/p/putin-and-...

Ha! @borowitzreport.bsky.social www.borowitzreport.com/p/nobel-peac...

Last night I worried about the security of the generals and the ability of the commands to function if something happens to all of them. @timothysnyder.bsky.social elaborates this morning. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

@heathercoxrichardson.substack.com.web.brid.gy It's way more than Comey. "OMB Director Russell Vought is a Christian nationalist who has called for a “radical Constitutionalism” that demolishes the modern American state and replaces it with a powerful executive. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Like the author of this @nytopinion.nytimes.com piece, I am an ethics professor. Like the author, my father was a civilian professor at West Point, for 25 years. He and Mom are buried in the West Point cemetery. He would applaud Dr. Parson's decision to resign... www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

Great. What could possibly go wrong? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! The security issues alone are batshit crazy! And what does this do to operational readiness and mission completion? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

Trump's lament that crime is out of control is a pretext; a lie. 2024 FBI crime stats released last month show that violent crime, property crime, and murders are down year-over-year to levels not seen in decades. popular.info/p/why-you-mi...

Of course this White House is always lying. The flip flop on Russia is not a negotiating tactic. He has no principles and goes with the wind. He’ll flip back to resume his role as Putin’s puppet. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Professional. Prosecutors push back against Trump’s vengeful demand that they prosecute Jim Comey. @msnbc.com Former FBI Director James Comey faces imminent indictment threat www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/f...

London’s Daily Mirror called Trump’s UN rant “deranged.” Here’s @nytimes.com fact check. Almost entirely false. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...
