Kash Patel gets slammed by House Judiciary Committee Democrats today, just underscoring his incompetence for the job as FBI Director. I highlight some of Patel’s most egregious statements about the Epstein Files & critique the sham questioning by Republicans. youtu.be/0D9bn-Rf-vU?...

I’m angry about a lot right now. But at this moment my fury over RFK jr — and every politician whose votes put him in power—is very, very loud. People are going to die of preventable diseases. Lots and lots of people. It does not have to be this way. We are moving backwards.

ALSOBROOKS: Do you believe Secretary Kennedy is incompetent and dangerous to the American people's health? HOURY: I think he should resign

We need to primary John Fetterman.

former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."

Over 100 progressive nonprofit groups are joining together to push back against the Trump administration’s recent threats to investigate and dismantle left-leaning organizations in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Democracy is being dismantled right in front of our eyes: ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments Mr. Kimmel faced some criticism for comments he made on Monday about the motives of the man who is accused of killing Mr. Kirk, the conservative activist. (NYT)

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

When the Federal Government gets involved THAT is a violation of the Constitution.

Not to continue to do this Cassandra bullshit, but here is a clip from two years ago that outlines exactly the playbook in this moment: a government and private law enforcement army run entirely on grievance, culture war slop, and weaponizable data points, deployed against boogeymen, absent facts.

Crockett: When you I say you are the least qualified in the history of the FBI, it’s real… Patel: That’s false Crockett: I didn’t ask you a question. I want to talk about why you're a failure and honestly we need to tell you, bye, bye

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

The right wing can complain all they want, but we will continue to fight for free and fair elections and against GOP collusion to undermine them.

As the folks at Fox News, a propaganda network, screamed for Matthew Dowd to get fired from MSNBC, no one cared after their co-worker Brian Kilmeade said homeless people should be murdered and offered a half-hearted apology four days later.

if you didn't vote for Kamala Harris, shut the fuck up right now

No elected official is above our constitutional rights. The Constitution brought America’s states together into a unified whole that derives its power from the people. We must call out any action that undermines the principles our founders fought for and protect our democracy.

. They tried to silence you, but together you’d be louder than ever. Colbert, Kimmel, every comic with a voice join forces. Create the epic content we all know you’re capable of. History favors the ones who write their own stage! #JimmyKimmel #JimmyFalon #StevenColbert #JonStewart #JonOliver .

They’re gonna cut off what they don’t want you to hear…

You know what to do

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

What would Bondi do ?

Hiding the truth.

Wow. Live your life in such a way that your shitty policies don't make the health insurance companies look like the good guys.

Tim Walz: "I've been telling people since January it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to come to an end. History is not going to be kind to these people. History is going to remember them for what they're trying to do. It's not what they're going to get done."

Accurate

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

according to an immigration attorney representing several arrested workers, ICE agents chose to arrest the Korean workers to fulfill the quota of 3,000 daily immigrant arrests set by Stephen Miller www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Tim Walz warns: the storm hasn’t passed—dark days still lie ahead. But he promises the chaos will end. And when it does, history will carve its judgment: these people won’t be remembered for victories, but for the disgrace of what they tried to do.

This juxtaposition in the photo of the broken front door of an warrantless ICE raid in Elgin that targeted an American born in Texas is really something www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/16/e...

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

Though she doesn’t have ample free time as a soccer mom with a full-time job, Vargas tries to use what slivers she can manage shrewdly. “The minutes that I do have extra, I use them for the community.” Her method? Chasing ICE officers with her car. via @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/la/article/a...

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

Who else is calling bullshit on these Tyler Robinson text messages? Definitely not Gen Z speak… “Vehicle lingering”? “My love”? “For a little while longer yet”? They need to show the physical texts and have the roommate authenticate them.

What the country really needs is mandatory mental-health screening for presidential candidates and nominees for cabinet posts. Like, stat.

Release the Epstein files!!!

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

AG Bondi THINKS she can prosecute Americans for hate speech. I HATE that!

Lavrov: The Russian army never strikes at civil society and the civilian population. Liar. Warmonger. Criminal.

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

Congress is supposed to be a separate and equal branch of government to the President and his Administration — not blind enforcers of the Executive Branch's policies. 🧵

That Trump‑Epstein display in Windsor was masterful! This Playbook is a call‑out that Democrats have little time to act, and how—otherwise fascist tactics can close the doors of democracy. https://americanmanifesto.news/fighting-fascism-the-battleplan-to-break-the-regime
