In a social media post, Donald Trump expressed disbelief that ABC 'gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back' and made a veiled threat to sue the broadcast network on.ft.com/423ObyQ

The 12-foot statue depicts the president holding hands with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein showed up at the capital. "We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend' Jeffrey Epstein.”

“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the...bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday.'

Kind of surreal that a government official was caught taking a $50,000 cash bribe and there's not even a question that he will continue serving as it nothing ever happened. Like even the most basic standards of public accountability are a joke.

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

If you are Border Czar Homans, and you did NOT take the $50,000 in a paper bag, wouldn't you been screaming at the top of your lungs that you want the FBI tape of the transaction released publicly in order to clear your name? Yet he isn't doing that. Hmmmm......

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

At the risk of staying the obvious ... If you sign this, you are in no way a journalist.

Q: "Why won't the president accept the conclusions of his DOJ to not bring charges against Letitia James?" Leavitt: "The president has every right to express how he feels about these people...who literally tried to ruin his life...He wants to see accountability."

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

"If this were just some unnamed member of the Trump administration, people would probably be like, yep, they’re all corrupt. But in this case, this guy is... like one of the biggest villains in the Trump administration."

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"

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

It's grifts all the way down with this administration. I'm telling you once again that an anticorruption rallying cry to wash these motherfuckers out of government would be a very successful vision to offer voters.

it was literally in a bag www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

I think it is morally repugnant to treat immigrants to the United States like subhuman playthings.

...

Trump’s former White House attorney Ty Cobb: “These people are abandoning our constitutional rights. It’s going to be 3.5 more years of vengeance.” He calls for a presidential crimes commission, and invokes Goebbels & Hitler (as JD Vance once did) to describe Trump’s crackdown.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

This is wildly illegal and he has no authority to do this

😂😂

Trump succeeded in normalizing Russian help for his elections in 2020 and 2024 so thoroughly that now the US has stopped even trying to confront foreign influence. Just another thing he's surrendered. I added some English-language dubbing to the 2024 Russian/Ukrainian disinfo footage Marcy found.

I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject. Gift link:

Oklahoma is 50th in education because Walters uses kids’ education as his play toy to score his next hit on Fox. He couldn’t care less about kids.

This appears to be the 3rd lethal US strike in the Caribbean. Once again, the specific "terrorist" entity targeted is not identified. No legal justification is offered for this premeditated killing. President Trump is asserting a license to kill outside of the law. 1/n

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Dutch late night TV has its take

Trump is about to fire a US attorney he appointed because he won't charge Letitia James after his office found no evidence she committed mortgage fraud.

ED's latest actions against Harvard include putting the university on heightened cash monitoring and threatening the loss of all federal financial aid for allegedly not complying with a government investigation. It's safe to say that settlement talks aren't going as well as the White House wants.

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Here is a map of projects threatened with cancellation by the Trump USDOT according to @t4america.bsky.social 200 grants totally $400 million (many of them advancing biking, walking and transit) are in danger of being clawed back for political reasons. 😡🚨 t4america.org/2025/09/17/g...

How does the Fed see the economy? You don’t need to read tea leaves—just the first sentence of the Fed’s statement: job gains slowed, unemployment edged up; inflation moved up and remains somewhat elevated. It's an uncomfortable combo, just as we're entering tariff season.

Ezra Klein went beyond opposing political violence to extol Charlie Kirk for doing politics "exactly the right way," making up a fictional version of Kirk to praise. That distortion, with its indulgence of bad faith, is a perfect illustration of the larger media failure that helps Trump. My latest

Never hear a peep from MAGA when people they don't like are murdered: "'an epidemic of violence against the transgender community,' who are over 2.5 times more likely than cisgender people... to experience violence" www.congress.gov/118/meeting/...

Trump so mad he came face to face with members of the American public who don’t like him that he wants RICO charges against them for yelling at him lmao

“In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump’s DOJ deleted a study from its site stating right-wing violence ‘continues to outpace all other types of terrorism & domestic violent extremism’ in 🇺🇸 — The study was available online until Friday.” newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

This is why they’re deleting studies
