Leavitt: "I would reject that there is inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants under this administration."

ME: "Jesus, why does your close friend Speaker Mike Johnson relentlessly bear false witness?" JESUS: "WHO???"

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth were expecting rousing applause and standing ovations from our nation’s generals. They were met with silence. Generals know that what Trump is doing is wrong.

If government workers need to be fired during the shutdown here are six candidates

One thing people really need to grasp about DeSantis in Florida is that the main thrust of his administration is being insanely corrupt and making his donors rich. To wit, my hometown:

NEW VIDEO: “Protecting Pedophiles for Tax Cuts.” Exploring Republicans’ eagerness to shield adults who rape children in order to ensure the GOP can continue to give billionaires tax cuts, take away healthcare from ordinary Americans, and kidnap refugees. Glory! youtu.be/HnzIk21NGHw

White people really colonized most of the world and caused the vast majority of its problems but now that their lives suck they want to blame people of color. The absolute audacity.

Everything Donald Trump has done since he's been in office has been to weaken the United States of America. Intentionally.

PETE: “Blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela, renaming the DOD the Department of War… Trump came in saying he’s peace guy, but he’s posting ‘Apocalypse Now’ memes about making war on Chicago. He’s not exactly a peacenik.”

Hillary's Right Again ! Chump has lined His Pockets with $4-5 Billion In Income For Himself, While We All Get Zilch in Absolutely Everything 💯.........

Im just saying...

PETE said we need to get rid of Fat leaders. Let's start here.

⚠ In short, the ICE officer who was LOUDLY relieved of duty Fri. for violently shoving a woman to the ground last week, was QUIETLY reinstated yesterday. Today, ICE agents at the SAME facility sent a journalist to the hospital.

let the gourd times roll

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Imagine crossing ten time zones to hear that.”

There’s always an old pic that’s worth 1000 words.

1. Dr. Jane Goodall 1934 - 2025 In 1962, a very young woman named Jane Goodall stepped into the African forest. What she would discover shattered our understanding of the place of human beings in the world. She revealed that chimpanzees use tools, form bonds, and experience emotions.

This is very, very bad.

Our best-in-the-world military is about to be downgraded just like our international safety rating, credit rating, economy, educational system and health outcomes.

I can't imagine that the 25th amendment won't come into play before 2028, unless he dies first The speech yesterday to military brass was just the latest example of his lack of fitness.

Good work

If the first ever Jewish Democratic nominee for Mayor of NYC was being rejected by leading members of the Dem party we would have no qualms calling out the anti-Semitism at play. But when it's a Muslim in Zohran Mamdani people refuse to call out the anti-Muslim hate right beneath the surface.

A real pleasure to sit down for an extended conversation on The View today. My thanks to the studio audience for the very warm welcome.

My statement on the GOP shutdown.

Pretty Wild!!!!

Yom Kippur is a day of reflection, of forgiveness, of restoration. This year, may we all pray for a better, kinder, more peaceful future. Wishing all who observe across the five boroughs and the world a meaningful, easy fast. G’mar chatimah tovah.

So the Military Leaders were given the ultimatum we all believed. Go to War on the people of this country, or resign. And forget about being anything other than a white young man. I hope all these generals stay & sabotage the fuck out of him bc I KNOW they haven’t trained their whole lives for THIS.

Texas state rep accuses Greg Abbott of corruption: “He funneled almost a billion dollars in taxpayer money to campaign donors” 2paragraphs.com/2025/09/texa...

"I had to work 10 times harder than the average man just to get the same level of recognition," Jane Goodall told us in 2020. "But once I had made a name for myself, I let the data speak for me."

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump knows what he is doing. Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat shared with me a warning about Trump's next authoritarian moves and how we can fight back www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovor...

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃. Today, we saw two very insecure people who think intimidation and threats will cause generals and admirals to cower in fear and obey any order, even orders that go against the Constitution of the United States. They both are very mistaken. Very.

DelBene: He’s the president of the United States, and instead of talking about standing up for our communities or what’s best for the country, he’s talking about inflicting pain if he doesn’t get what he wants. He’s been inflicting pain on the American people since he went into office in January

With the passing of Jane Goodall today, we lost one of the most consequential voices in environmental science and animal behavior. In 2002, she said, “We have found that…there isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.” (Continued in comments)

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

(1/3) I think Ed makes a pretty strong point here about Lindsey Halligan: She hasn't been lawfully appointed under 28 U.S.C. § 546, and as he also points out, his view is supported by a 1986 OLC opinion written by some guy named … {checks notes} … Samuel A. Alito. (1/3)

It’s no accident that Senator Wyden cannot get the documents he needs to follow the Epstein money. Bissent is throwing every barrier in the way. The shutdown, all of this… they are all distractions to deflect from THE EPSTEIN FILES.
