Hey AP quick question which party controls presidency house and senate

That made him sad.

Honestly, more smiling than I’d have expected. Maybe during the extended riff on falling on stairs, something that he avoids by taking them nice and slow. “Be cool!!” (So you don’t fall down stairs.)

If the Press covers it any other way than this, they are lying. The President of the United States has declared War on his own Citizens.

Trump got upset when the generals laughed at him. He hates that more than anything.

fun fact that while trump v. us says that the president cannot be held criminally liable for using his core powers, this does not extend to his officers

After making claims that Tylenol hurts fetuses, RFK Jr announced a new review of mifepristone, the abortion pill, based on a junk study from a right wing think tank. I took the occasion to survey the status of abortion rights and women’s health in the second Trump administration:

Coates says Black Americans have stories about relatives who were lynched or had to flee and that a life free of political violence is not in reach in his time Klein: "Sometimes I think that having a historical scope that wide can make the present too deterministic." They lynched a kid last week.

Remember how Jim Jordan was celebrating last week, claiming Google had censored conservatives and his committee uncovered it? Well, his own committee's documents show he's lying. open.substack.com/pub/wicziped...

Art? Or Outsider Art?

The media should ask Kash Patel why Google street view shows that the church shooter had a Trump/Vance sign in front of his house.

Have lost count of the number of reports of feds aiming their weapons at people across Chicagoland just in last ~72 hours. Protesters arrested Friday evening reported the same as well.

'out of the three mass shootings today'

Not to mention, OF COURSE, that thousands of our neighbors have been kidnapped by these thugs.

UPDATE: At 1:27 a.m. on Sept. 28, Unraveled Press reports that co-founder Steve Held has been released. thetriibe.com/2025/09/chic...

"describes himself" is very disappointing language. freedom of the press is deeply at risk, we need our local media to stand together. he's a journalist just like the Sun Times visual journalist who was struck by munitions yesterday.

The only crime in Chicago that needs national attention is the violence being perpetrated by government-employed, mask-wearing dirtbags on peaceful protesters.

Does the rest of the country know about the state-backed violence happening in Broadview, just outside of Chicago?

Hi, just a note— The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!

They're gonna open the Amelia Earhart files and all that'll be inside is this inexplicable photograph:

Next up he’s giving a posthumous Medal of Honor to William Calley for My Lai

is it legal to have signs up on the bridges in Chicago to, ah, greet Border Patrol?

Border Patrol spotted with guns on Chicago River in Trump's latest deportation push chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Thousands of people detained by ICE are actually held in local, publicly operated jails These facilities–run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of the incarceration of people who are mostly accused of no more serious offense than crossing the border without permission

Now that it’s been revealed that the SB expects free shows, no self respecting artist can do it. Fun while it lasted, I guess.

Wow. Planned Parenthood Wisconsin really warped that news cycle to its benefit. They've got folks thinking there will be a Illinois patient flood when actually there are two indies in Milwaukee and the clinic wasn't really seeing many abortion patients already.

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT "he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality "this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening START WITH WHAT IT IS not what it isn't

"Thanks so much for figuring out I'm the only one who can unlock the computer and calling me! My new consulting rate is $4,000 an hour. Goes up $500 every time I have to hear his fuckin' name."

who can use bike lanes if the city is crawling with gestapo and local police

WBEZ is looking for a data platform engineer

AYFKM? He “wants” what now?

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

In the TV context, the joke is attributed to Jack Paar (1960), but Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. made the same joke in 1857 in the very first issue of The Atlantic Monthly. (His "Breakfast-Table" columns were a continuation of essays he had written for a different publication in 1831–32.)

“As I was saying before I was interrupted…” a very nice DEEP cut call back by #JimmyKimmel to Jack Paar, the second and ground breaking host of “The Tonight Show,” who walked off the air in 1960 over NBC’s censorship of a joke about…a “water closet.” That’s a toilet, for you youngsters out there.

"Officers who are repeatedly named in lawsuits that are resolved by payouts are not disciplined, retrained or offered counseling in an effort to prevent additional lawsuits."

Even down to how they exploit the changes in diagnostic criteria to suggest there's some "contagion" or "epidemic." What those changes actually point to is a move away from a model of suppression to a model of acceptance, and that's what actually terrifies them

“Grassroots unions across Italy called for a 24-hour general strike on Monday in solidarity with the people of Gaza […] From Milan to Palermo, Italians poured on to the streets in at least 75 municipalities across the country. + www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

this seems like a trump effect as much as anything else

Hmm, this looks like municipal law enforcement closing off a street and setting up a perimeter in aid of civil immigration enforcement

This is an unwelcome but unsurprising development.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

CRUSH HASHANAH

He has an active asylum claim and has lived here for 22 years. They work for monsters.

From a recent visit there. Highly recommend the beautiful museum.

On September 4, Pam Bondi's DOJ obtained a guilty plea from a top aide to Ras Baraka, Al-Tarik Onque, for doing precisely what Tom Homan allegedly took $50K to do. According to his statement of offense, Onque took $7.5K in bribes. www.justice.gov/usao-nj/medi...

My quote of the day Masha Gessen

LFG

I've said this before, but IMO we need to spend less time OBSERVING that Trump is engaged in authoritarian corruption and more trying to use language to build pressure to stop it. Same with Tom Homan's bribe. Yes, it was a bribe. Who can we embarrass politically for letting it happen.
