man he’s still got it

Honestly, I've never heard "Take a picture of the QR Code" in a eulogy before.

This is the most sobering post of the day. Aaron is absolutely right. This is the most brazenly corrupt, authoritarian regime the U.S. has probably ever seen. It is a test we cannot fail to rise to. Trump must be (legally) removed from office. Congress must act.

The British government has updated its maps, now using the name Palestine alongside the West Bank.

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

This is… on point!

So unifying

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

“When one commenter compared MAGA to the Maoist movement, there wasn’t an outcry of disagreement. Quite the opposite.”

“Behind closed doors” being the most important words. fortune.com/2025/09/21/b...

"Tasteless" does not even begin to describe what is happening here.

Trump: Charlie Kirk was like a son to me. Also Trump: Laughs and chats through Charlie Kirk’s memorial service and eulogies.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

In addition to the conspiracy charged, they could have also investigated tax fraud (evasion) and they could have pursued the wire fraud charges more intently. However, as you know, having the threat of future prosecution over his head is a feature, not a bug for DJT

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

I am sorry if I confused people into actually believing you have been walking around the Washington Post, sitting atop Megan McArdle, whilst wearing a trench coat, pretending to be the WaPo’s editorial board.

Well worth reading. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o... Quote below is from Jamelle Bouie.

What I am really most curious about with Tom Homan: did he keep the $50,000, did he claim it on his taxes, and what do the tax authorities in New York have to look into today that they did not yesterday because of @carolleonnig.bsky.social's reporting?

WELKER: Do you believe Brendan Carr's comments were appropriate? RAND PAUL: Absolutely inappropriate. Brendan Carr has got no business weighing in on this.

Showing that fighting back is a winning strategy! www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

unusually big armhole

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Exactly. There are plenty of qualified people who could run in the primaries against these people who are afraid to do their jobs.

This.

🙋‍♂️

The secretary of lying thinks we are all morons and acts like we didn’t all see Brendan Carr with our own eyes

Aujourd’hui, le Canada reconnaît l’État de Palestine. Ma déclaration : www.pm.gc.ca/fr/nouvelles...

Macron says ten nations are preparing to recognize a State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders.

Bingo

I’d never seen this one.

I have submitted a FOIA to the FBI for all video evidence & docs created in the investigation of Border Czar Tom Homan & his acceptance of $50K in bribes for favorable government contracts. I'll be publishing updates soon on my human rights newsletter. No paywall: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list

Cambodia vs Armenia..

Cambodia and Armenia woke up not knowing they’ve been fighting each other According to the president, Armenia has also been fighting Albania and Aberbaijan - not to confuse with Azerbaijan

So what happened to the $50K in cash Tom Homan got in the Cava bag? Was it deposited in his bank account and reported as income that he paid taxes on? Is it under his mattress?

Good point.

I don’t know how ICE agents sleep at night, but this right here is absolutely heartless! They detained two parents and their 22-year-old son outside Chicago while the family was on their way to celebrate their 10-year-old’s birthday.

Community Unites to Drive Out ICE GOONS ✊

H-1B visas now cost two Homans. (I also think @marisakabas.bsky.social could help here)

When you lay it all out like that...

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Courtesy of Convicted Felon, Donald Trump, America is the laughingstock of the world. Pure trash.

The Late Late Show: #RTE #jimmykimmel

Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.
