The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

Once more: the best evidence shows that Tylenol taken during pregnancy is not harmful. **This question is settled.** The benefit of reducing discomfort and fever is extremely important at a time when the fetus is developing.

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.

Triumph of the Shill

Rumors aren't facts. But last fall the Finance/DC corridor was awash in chatter that bribes and cash payments were flying fast and furious. Given the nature of this crew, essentially zero chance Homan was alone in this.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

Smart interesting article despite silly graphics: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/b...

Here's what we are reading today: The Czech President urged NATO to “down” Russian aircraft when it violates NATO airspace. In the last 2 weeks, Russia committed 3 such violations: Russian jets flew into Estonian airspace and Russian drones flew into Poland and Romania.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

What ICE is doing in Broadview is really fucked up.

I’d never seen this one.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

He alone can make this claim.

Seems fitting that if you merged the faces of Tom Homan and Emil Bove you’d get something that looks awfully like Luca Brasi.

Democrats need to seriously consider an impeachment inquiry into now-Judge Emil Bove if/when they take back the House. He led the brazenly corrupt Eric Adams quid pro quo. He facilitated the Tom Homan bribery cover-up. And there’s probably more! He was Trump’s hatchet man at DOJ for months!

Republicans just tanked a commonsense proposal to keep the government open AND prevent your premiums from skyrocketing. They’re clearly on the record now: they’d rather shut down the entire government than keep health care affordable for millions.

Oklahoma is not OK.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

We told @time.com that journalists shouldn’t trade their independence for access to Pentagon spin. “Agreeing not to look where the government doesn’t want you to look and, by extension, not to print what it doesn’t want you to print, is propaganda, not journalism.”

This post has now been deleted. Suggesting it really was a DM to Bondi, violating presidential Records Act, and basically all national security protocols. But who cares. All the laws are for trampling now.

Imagine listening to so many Morrissey records, your death threat to Morrissey is written in Morrissey cadence.

“The data has been collected every year since the mid-1990s, and is widely used by federal, state and local policymakers to make funding decisions for food-assistance programs, and to evaluate how well those programs work.”

Sign of the times: My daughter got sick in the car, and we live in an apartment so don't have the space to do a proper shampoo. I called a carwash service-- they aren't taking clients, because too many workers are afraid of ICE and so can't come to work.

Disney vs the markets this week

25% of Drs in US are foreign grads. Many are on an H1B visa. This will hit health systems hard especially rural hospitals and hospitals in underserved areas that sponsor these visas through waiver programs. The old cost was about 5000$ a year. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Earlier this week, Sinclair said it would replace "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with a documentary about Charlie Kirk during the Friday time slot that Kimmel occupies on its ABC affiliates. Friday evening, Sinclair pulled the documentary and aired "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.

“Trump’s policy changes will cost New York $60 billion in renewable energy investment, the state estimates.”

More than a million NY state households are at least two months behind on payments, owing utilities close to $2 billion. And record numbers of households had their electricity or gas shut off this spring, including more than 61,000 in May…

It's important to remember when GOP Reps and Sens are yelling about the 'violent left' that they routinely tell reporters and colleagues how theyre afraid to do this or that because their own supporters routinely threaten violence agains them.

Trump's corrupt prosecutions of enemies as "retribution" for legitimate fact-based prosecutions of him are really about the core authoritarian goal of erasing the very idea of legitimate guilt and innocence. This new firing is all about that. Thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Nonstop explosions in Kyiv

her name couldn’t really be WILL OBEY

treasure of the sierra madre - a night well spent

Yup - when a Trump capo says we can do this the easy way or the hard way, the only response as we’ve seen over and over is to make ‘em try and do it the hard way.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

Charlie Kirk on Pope Francis:

Dutch late night TV has its take

and he said this like it was a bad thing?

Interesting

And so it begins . . .

"As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an adversary." Shaaaaaade. Also, if the judge is making fun of you for not capitalizing the Z in zeitgeist ... go home, son.

BREAKING: A federal judge just sumamrily struck Trump's complaint against the New York Times, essentially calling it, essentially, garbage. Must be rewritten within 28 days. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
