Firefighter Detained by ICE — While Fighting Fire — Released After 4 Weeks

* TRUMP ADMINISTRATION RESTRICTING COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSES FOR NON-U.S. CITIZENS, USDOT SAYS @reuters.com

An Arizona man was convicted Thursday on eight murder charges for a string of fatal shootings that targeted random victims and his own mother and stepfather over a three-week span.

Not the most important thing about this video, but the white cop's gun discipline would be hilarious if it weren't so dangerous. Takes it out, tucks it in his waistband while wrestling with a guy, drops it, recovers it, and then points it at bystanders.

JUST IN: Americans ramped up their spending in August, despite elevated inflation, new data shows: https://cnn.it/46p3BAf

Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!” Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now. What are we doing about this? It MUST stop. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

According to data from Ice, we passed a significant milestone. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group arrested and booked into detention by Ice.

Imagine a politician giving a speech down the street from an ICE processing center, telling protesters to "fight like hell," and those protesters then breaking into the center and smashing stuff. Clearly that wouldn't be his fault.

One of the truly weird culture war flashpoints of this era is how an anti-parasitic on the market for 35 years became the right's cure-all snake oil and popular way of signaling contempt for modern medicine.

Some preliminary thoughts on Trump's new executive order "Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence," which declares a law enforcement crackdown on some ill-specified blend of action and speech by his political adversaries, on grounds that they encourage and abet violence. /1

First thing Dems should do is repeal all the "the president is all-powerful as long as he says it's an emergency" laws

He looks and generally is more like Ernst Rohm than Hitler.

The Pentagon’s effort to walk back its censorial policy on journalist access is nonsense. Journalists should not trade their integrity for the honor of being lied to at news conferences.

1/ Broadcasters have a First Amendment right to decide what programming to air. If Congress is worried about the federal government shaking down broadcasters, it should investigate the government, not the broadcaster. The remedy to government interference in media isn’t **more** interference.

NEW: In rare sign of threats and harassment impacting #SCOTUS official business, Justice Amy Coney Barrett says one reason she doesn't detail recusal reasons is some are due to friends/family who could be targeted. "There are costs," Barrett says www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

It’s a five year plan

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Holy fuck. One gets inured to insanely brutal ice videos. But this one stands out. He just throws this woman into the wall basically

Turns out his story has been highlighted before! bsky.app/profile/cris...

The circumstances of Mr. Escobar's arrest are even worse than the brief summary above. He repeatedly tried to tell the immigration officials that he had papers while they were arresting him. In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

NEW: A lawsuit filed Monday mirrors the findings of a ProPublica investigation that made public for the first time details about a program that sent gun owners’ information to political operatives without their consent.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Kavanaugh thinks this is a minor inconvenience, not something of concern under the 4th amendment

Tom Homan said he was recused from anything to do with government contracts. Turns out he wasn't. He played a role in the process to move immigration detention contracts through the Defense Department www.bloomberg.com/news/feature... With @racheladhe.bsky.social and @sooophie.bsky.social

According to my notes the Phils have hit 18 dingers tonight

the problem with doing WW2 revisionism on here is that everyone on this website is a thirty eight year old nerd who spent all of high school reading WW2 history books

Jimmy Kimmel’s first episode since his suspension by Disney drew an audience nearly four times bigger than usual.

Jimmy Kimmel's return drew 6.3 million viewers last night -- triple his typical audience. Even more impressive is he drew this while Nexstar and Sinclair preempted the episode, representing 23% of US households. Kimmel's monologue has also garnered 26 million views. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/24/j...

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“stating policy” is now “jokes” today.

The ATF is moving to recognize only two sexes on the federal background check form for gun sales. As a result, nonbinary will likely be struck as a sex option, reversing an update the agency made in 2020 after requests from the gun industry.

Such little, little people.

The Wall Street Journal Torches Trump’s Anti-Tylenol Campaign: ‘Whatever Happened to Do No Harm?’

The Putin-Orban-Trump style of propaganda doesn't really try to convince people that lies are true, they attack truth itself with "a firehose of falsehood" or "flood the zone with shit" to frustrate and confuse. Get regular people to go "how can I know, it's not clear, and there's so much yelling."
