Know the Republican Party for what it is. They want to put statues of this guy all across America.

If Trump can force the owners of America's "independent" broadcasting corporations to end criticism of him, what's left of American democracy? And why are the owners such cowards who will sacrifice a nation to their private wealth?

I demand that employers fire anyone who says anything critical about Robert Redford. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness." — Kurt Vonnegut

Billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk owns X. Billionaire Trump ally Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post. With this acquisition, both CNN and CBS News would be owned by billionaire Trump donor Larry Ellison. Oligarchs’ monopoly over our media is spiraling out of control.

I choose silence in the aftermath of the killing of Charlie Kirk.

The U.S. Senate should block all Trump appointees and hold no confirmation hearings on any of them until Kenney is fired or resigns.

Trump's economic failures and destruction of the public health infrastructure will lead to something like the 1918 flu epidemic and the Great Depression happening at the same time.

Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.

We are very far off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

One of the most remarkable and impactful transformations of all human technology and civilization in history is happening right now!

“It’s not just a Texas problem. It’s an American problem.” @timothypmurphy.bsky.social sat down with Rep. James Talarico to talk about why we ALL should care about the Texas Republicans' redistricting plan.

Oh, wow. This is very exciting.

NEW: Our leading papers failed to stand up to Trump's criminal justice authoritarianism. The Washington Post and The New York Times editorial boards failed this week to hold Trump accountable for his attack on D.C. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...

The country’s most famous houseplant is missing. What did Trump do with it?

Trump’s behavior toward Putin in Alaska was like an employee welcoming his boss on a visit to his office.

Trump is more loyal to Putin than he is to America.

“What we all recognize is we can’t let a systematic assault on democracy just happen and stand by,” Obama said.

America's political media: "Democrats don't fight back," then, when Democrats fight back, it's "Why do Democrats fight like this?" Their pandering to Republicans is nauseating.

Trump is rebuilding the traitorous Confederate Army, and using federal military personnel to do it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It’s no accident that the cities Trump has targeted for military intervention have black female mayors.

Many think Trump accused Obama, Biden of launching the "Russia hoax" as a distraction. But what if Russia and Epstein are related? Epstein ran millions through Russian banks. What if Trump needs to further discredit the Russian investigation because there's damaging news of it in Epstein scandal?

"But nine scientists across several different disciplines told WIRED that the report mishandled citations of their work by cherry-picking data, misrepresenting findings, drawing erroneous conclusions, or leaving out relevant context." www.wired.com/story/scient...

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

“I fear the end of CBS as I knew it.” The legendary Connie Chung on the Paramount/CBS-Skydance deal which just received approval from the FCC.

It’s taken like two fulls days for them to get behind springing Epstein’s *only known, confirmed and convicted accomplice in sexually abusing middle school girls*

The Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation are fascist organizations that worked for years to appoint a federal judiciary that would end democracy and create a fascist regime. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/u...

Texas State Rep. James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social criticizes Christian nationalism as being about the worship of power. "It is incumbent upon believers, upon Christians and people of other faith backgrounds to speak out against this perversion of faith and this subversion of our democracy."

“May every day be another wonderful secret.”

In re: Colbert, my column for The Washington Post today deals with media companies and institutions capitulating in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism. Gift link: wapo.st/3IzN4QA

Well this sure as hell isn’t incriminating! Nothing to see here.
