A moving eulogy

They don’t seem very sad that he died

they don't want you to joke about a man's death but then they're out there saying things like this

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

a few thoughts (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

You guys have to read the termination letter that @washingtonpost.com sent @karenattiah.bsky.social because they essentially accused her of anti-white racism because she mentioned that Charlie Kirk was a white man 😵‍💫 Then they called her a “risk.” 🤡 karenattiah.substack.com/p/why-washin...

How is this the year 2025

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The best way to depress democratic hope and enthusiasm and get progressive voters to stay home is to give the appearance that both parties are the same

NEW: US Attorney Erik Siebert has resigned this evening after investigators found insufficient evidence to bring charges against NY AG Letitia James, contrary to President Trump's wishes. Below an email Siebert sent his staff—via Glenn Thrush / NYT.

Not just a crisis for journalism but for civil-military relations: can't have civilian oversight if you don't have a free press (especially with this Pentagon).

Isn’t it the Pentagon’s responsibility to secure its own information

Does Kudlow always talk like this? He sounds unhinged

What happened here

SCOOP: The Trump administration has installed a new acting director of the Census Bureau, @npr.org has learned. George Cook takes over the federal government’s largest statistical agency after it's been thrust into the middle of a renewed attempt by President Trump to alter the national head count

Straight-up Kremlin propaganda.

Karen Attiah at WaPo championing Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed by the Saudi govt for writing critically about them, then getting fired from WaPo for writing critically about the US govt's veneration of Charlie Kirk is such an illustration of this moment, and how "free speech" has been manipulated.

Paper tiger masculinity

This Week's Onion Magazine:

Republicans in Congress explicitly support the authoritarian crackdown on speech.

HAPPENING NOW: 11 lawmakers have been arrested by DHS on the tenth floor of 26 Federal Plaza after trying to gain access for over an hour.

at the zenith of RFK Jr. breaking medicine, science and trust forever, Olivia Nuzzi is named West Coast Editor of Vanity Fair.

Oh my god

BILL CASSIDY formally invites RFK JR to testify about claims that he is pushing changes to vaccine policy over the objections of career scientists

What was accomplished here

look she is awful but this is a sure sign no one but the most overt maga people like what is going on

NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law. That and much more in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

these people are genuinely idiots

“FBI agents reassigned to round up immigrants have had to walk away from investigations into violent predators who target and exploit children online, MSNBC has learned.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

What was the problem with Sesame Street again

AIRLINE PILOTS.

This is just bizarre

ROVE: “.. Using Charlie’s murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous. It will further divide and embitter our country. No good thing will come of it.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/they...

Life comes at you fast

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

“The ‘free speech’ guys are now really into canceling shows that hurt their feelings.” @lebassett.bsky.social whips out a sharp analysis of the ABC/Kimmell situation in record time www.laura-bassett.com/p/abc-drops-...

The “wokeness killed comedy” people are now literally killing comedy

WSJ reports on “America’s resurging love of cocaine” — as Trump’s campaign “to deport immigrants in the U.S. illegally has taken federal agents away from drug-traffic interdiction.” @wsj.com @bgrueskin.bsky.social www.wsj.com/world/americ...

Loving Melania entering her Grim Reaper mode. Just needs a scythe!

They continue to brag about randomly murdering civilians in the Caribbean

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

What a turn Sen. Mullin suggested Monarez was not honest, pressed her repeatedly on her claim RFKjr told her he can't trust her, pressed her to change her testimony (which she refused), and said a recording contradicted her. Then Bill Cassidy reports Mullin says he has no such recording

I am begging y’all to try to be normal about this podcaster

"You're not lying in the right way," lamented the liar. "Lie the way I want you to lie as an excuse to do awful things I want to do, don't lie in a way I don't like that can't be used in ways I want!"

HAPPENING NOW: Rep. Raskin moves to subpoena four banks that helped move Jeffrey Epstein's money and have subsequently reported $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions. Vote will take place at the end of today's hearing with Director Patel.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

The police told Trey Reed's family that he'd been found dead in his dorm room. They found out from the media that he'd actually been found hanging from a tree in the middle of campus. www.mississippifreepress.org/trey-reeds-f...

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”
