79. American citizen.

President Donald Trump’s plan to rig the 2026 midterm election by pressuring states to create more Republican congressional seats will face a major test in a federal courtroom in El Paso, Texas starting Wednesday, as a panel of judges considers whether to block the state’s new gerrymandered map.

Can the members of the U.S. military forces and the National Guard still be proud Americans?

Kudos to those South-Korean soldiers.

Hegseth has little knowledge of and zero experience in operational, strategic, or geopolitical national defense concerns. He does not have the skill set nor the experience to lead the largest (most lethal) dept in our government, full stop... pardon me if I LAUGH. abcnews.go.com/Politics/def...

I have assumed this for some time, but we are seeing it play out in real time.

Anyone else sick of being lectured by the likes of liars and hypocrites like JD Vance?

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

Donald Trump loves polls—especially when they flatter him. But his latest victory lap was built on air, after the White House cited a Rasmussen number that simply didn’t exist, claiming a majority that no pollster has given him since the week of his inauguration.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Watching from Australia, wondering what can be done done to stop him and the team around him. Looking on, trump is not the problem, he is the distraction.

Pretty much describes what’s happening eh?

Good. #JamesComey is back on the stage again. What will happen now probably will be not be what the #RepublicanFelon had intended.

A 79-year-old Van Nuys car wash owner — who is a U.S. citizen — has filed a federal civil rights claim seeking $50 million after he says he was violently body slammed and pinned by federal agents during an ICE immigration raid at his business on September 9.

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Not only do we routinely see kids dying in ICE custody, now they’re missing nearly 1000 people who were being held in Alligator Alcatraz? HOW THE HELL is this not a stop the presses moment? We can only hope it’s not a Brubaker moment.

Letting people disappear isn't a Russian (a Chinese, a North Korean...) thing anymore.

In his column for @lawfaremedia.org yesterday, Ben Wittes asked why Trump is in such a rush to prosecute his perceived enemies. “The answer is that—at least as regards Comey—a key statute of limitations is about to run.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

A White House official accepted $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents as a bribe in exchange for federal contracts. Pam Bondi and Kash Patel knew. But Donald Trump's administration shut down the investigation. Pure corruption—top to bottom.

I think NYT's usual headline writer is out sick today, they nearly committed a journalism.

The party hates him and is backing Cuomo even though Mamdani won the primary. Established Democrats are terrified of him because he's brave enough to not listen to the billionaire class

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

The chief justice of the US has painted himself as a modern institutionalist over the past 20 years. Experts say he’s emboldening Trump’s drive toward authoritarianism. He is destroying our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

You need to be Putin, Xi or Kim not to be terrorized like that.

There is no “hate speech” exception to the First Amendment. Even speech that is ugly, offensive, or cruel is protected. In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s horrific assassination, now more than ever, we must defend the principle Kirk himself championed: more speech, not less.

When the FCC pressured Disney to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air, it crossed the line from free choice to government coercion, explains Cato’s constitutional expert Thomas Berry. Free speech thrives on open debate – not on threats from those in power.

Politically motivated killings are rare in the United States. Cato’s social policy expert Alex Nowrasteh breaks down the data and explains what it really shows.

“It is difficult to imagine a more ominous and more horrendous violation of the basic principle of free speech.” Cato’s legal expert comments on ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show after FCC pressure.
