The FAA will reduce flight capacity at 40 major airports across the U.S. starting Friday, officials say

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

“Our school parking lots are not for ICE to load their weapons.” - @mayorofchicago.bsky.social Every mayor of a major city should follow his lead. (Looking at you Mattie Parker…)

They’re dead to me.

Taylor Swift reimagines the fate of Ophelia on her new album. The song is a celebration of love, but “there is also something dispiriting about Swift flattening one of literature’s most evocatively alluring heroines into just another princess waiting for her Prince Charming,” our critic writes.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

So no Dems or major news media are going to treat the more than a thousand people disappeared from Alligator Alcatraz as a story worthy of persistent pressure? Got it.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

The Chicago Teachers Union on the Federal Government Shutdown.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

I refuse to believe OpenAI works with absolutely any social scientists. This is not the type of platform you debut while under lawsuit for a teen killing themselves because of your models.

Thou shalt worry less about Tylenol causing autism and more about Donold causing fascism.

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Thoughts on Jimmy Kimmel’s return

A protest group on a flotilla of vessels headed for the shores of the Gaza Strip carrying humanitarian aid said that its communications had been jammed, drones had flown overhead and attacked, and that explosions were heard from some boats.

BREAKING — Notices for the Disney+ price increase went out at noon ET today, confirming my scoop from last night. Details: www.vulture.com/article/disn...

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Elon Musk has spent the past year obsessing over Pakistani child-rape gangs in the UK. Meanwhile, allegedly, in his own immediate family:

I love how rightwingers keep saying you can’t recognize a Palestinian state because it doesn’t even have any agreed-upon borders. Erm, are they aware that Israel is one of the only countries in the world that refuses to define its own borders?

Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money. Which is why boycotts work.

Abolish ICE

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Mind you, local stations that still exist are usually a part of a mega corporation that dictates their speech, so... 🤷🏽‍♂️

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Life has got all those twists and turns. You’ve got to hold on tight and off you go. #FuckTrump #HesOnTheList #Resist

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

If you have 30 minutes, I recommend watching this video. I explain what Trump has in store for 2026 and how we can fight back. If you find it helpful, please share it with others. youtu.be/7PXQfDHr9Aw

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

This is an important account to read, and a good reminder to not accept the cops narrative because they often have incentive to not tell the truth.

This is a major theme in revolutionary texts, but it’s also literally right in front of our faces standards of decorum are only applied to the people who are harmed by the status quo and want to change it

“The trend in recent years has been for the great majority of extremist-related murders to be connected to some form of right-wing extremism. That is also true for 2024: for the third year in a row, all the murders identified were tied to right-wing extremism.” www.adl.org/resources/re...

Do Fox News hosts and commentators agree with their colleague Brian Kilmeade that the United States should "just kill" homeless people? He still has a job. No apology. No retraction. Just let us know, Fox.

If a person is being honored by white nationalists, the person being honored is also a white nationalist. Hope that helps.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

This Guardian quote from an anonymous person who said he knew Robinson in high school years ago, but hasn’t spoke to him in several years, who said he was supposedly a leftist, has been retracted. This single anonymous quote has been posted by thousands of right-wing accounts.

The Guardian has now completely retracted quotes from an anonymous high school source who had called Tyler Robinson a “leftist.” The source now says they couldn’t accurately recall details of their relationship.

Playing it safe this week

of all of the cable segments I am not going to watch, this is the one I am not going to watch the most
