With both Nexstar and Sinclair predictably caving, I'm happy to say my column from this morning has become even more true: Jimmy Kimmel won, and it wasn't even close. Others should take note. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Do it

well my heart simultaneously plummeted and started beating fast

It is time to Abolish ICE. It is an ongoing violation and shame to the US and its values.

A stopped escalator is right once a day.

I stopped paying attention to road/cross/gravel bike stuff like 15 years ago, so tell me— when exactly did seemingly every such bike get equipped with computers that make the same loud off-key bleeps and blorps?

The official dc press line on ken starr was maybe he was a bit overzealous but that was just because he was so dedicated to truth and justice, a man too good for this fallen world

I know that when I gather all of my military commanders in one spot, I make sure to tell the entire world about it.

NEW: There are enormous holes and oddities in the Justice Department's hastily assembled case against Jim Comey We breakdown why this case may struggle out of the gate — and thanks to Trump's constant commentary — may never reach a jury. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Trump demands that Microsoft fire Lisa Monaco. Anybody from the party of small government have an issue with this or nah?

@cbs.com.bsky.social. CBS you caved to one Corrupted Person Trump & have Now earned the Wrath of your viewers.We who will be boycotting You, will teach You that If money , advertising matters to your survival, You had better apologize to Your Viewers NOW, ask ABC,Disney $4 Billion lost in Four Days👊

It’s likely the administration is gearing up to use the Dallas shooting—and other alleged violence against ICE—as a pretext to launch precisely that crackdown on the liberal left. trib.al/meZ4wBC

one way to destroy a breeding kink

Today’s shameful shadow docket decision from the Supreme Court—allowing Trump to unilaterally cancel $4 billion in aid—is not behavior that any healthy democracy tolerates of its judiciary. It is a sign of constitutional rot that precedes the rule of law’s collapse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

🚩 He can’t hide his Epstein ties forever… #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown 🚫

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.

Agree. The current SCOTUS—openly corrupt (Thomas, Alito), nakedly unrepresentative (last Dem to appoint a Chief Justice=Harry Truman; GOP-appointed majority for 55+ years), cowering to Trump (John "Roger Taney" Roberts)—has failed to stand up for rule of law. Needs to be central issue.

so much constitutional rot

“I'd like to thank Kash Patel, and the outstanding members of the FBI, for their brilliant work on the recent Indictment of the Worst FBI Director in the History of our Country, James ‘Dirty Cop’ Comey.”

It’s definitely a High Posting Day for the big boy president

We don’t talk about this guy enough. He’s top-tier.

Down-to-the-wire race between the administration and the Supreme Court to see who can most completely reject the concept of "laws" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Scoop: Trump fired a U.S. Attorney in Sacramento less than six hours after she told his California border patrol chief to abide by court orders and the Constitution while conducting his immigration raids. With @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

The text of the speech, in which Hillary Clinton said that half of Trump's supporters felt let down by the government and just wanted "some hope that their lives will be different," is freely available online

Ezra Klein is really out here claiming that the "Basket of Deplorables" speech was a bit of exclusion and intolerance that showed the Democrats had abandoned the broad inclusive vision of Barack "They Get Bitter, They Cling to Guns or Religion" Obama

Trump asks Supreme Court to decide whether he can end birthright citizenship www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/p...

Expanded my close read of today's Trump Terror Memo, with help from @audiosand.bsky.social & and unnamed federal-adjacent employee. slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/rubber-glu...

Here are two of the most influential people in liberal media, David Remnick and Ezra Klein, telling each other outright lies about what the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said because years of exposure to conservative grievance media pounded the original facts of the case out of their skulls

Kimmel won, kind of makes me think the pushback works, just like it did in 2016

Klein is wrong: Biden waived 26 federal laws so he could build Trump's shitty wall. It was one of the many terrible Trump policies he continued and was followed shortly by funding and abetting genocide. www.politico.com/news/2023/10...

that's a good point I hadn't considered granted, Gorsuch did say some nonsense concurring in a stay recently like 'sure these have no precedential value but the lower court should have taken the hint anyway,' but I'm sure he'll have a similar snide way to make precedent conditional on the president

Fridays with Nicole Sandler www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/26/f...

Trump Fired a U.S. Attorney Who Insisted on Following a Court Order www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Over the eons, I have found ways to connect with people in all 50 states of the US. Of every background, generation, and political outlook. I exclude anyone currently working for ICE.

Another example of Ezra Klein believing and repeating complete nonsense because he consumes huge amounts of right-wing propaganda

“…the July 15 firing of Ms. Beckwith occurred less than six hours after she told Mr. Bovino, the Border Patrol chief in charge of the Southern California raids, that a court order prevented him from arresting people without probable cause…”

Trump is firing anyone in the Justice Department who stands up for the rule of law. What's left is an army of fascist enforcers assaulting our constitutional democracy.

lots of dewy young republican marks are going to be grasping for the ring in the next few months but I can say with some confidence it’s not going to be a guy called “brilyn hollyhand” (name too gay)

It’s after 5pm et . It’s Bluesky-bio official now 😭 🥹 😊 🍻

scams all the way down

Crashed on epstein island

What’s your take on this? Me: This is an outrageously expensive way to have an anti-DEI meeting.

"on the record before the Court, the asserted harms to the Executive’s conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm faced by respondents" as a reminder, respondents have *already experienced harms* like suspending their provision of life-saving medical treatment disgusting shit

The crookedest president in American history.

Perryman: With respect to the Homan situation, this is highly concerning. It’s, as you said, a tale as old as time. We’ve requested that information through the Freedom of Information Act, and if the government doesn’t respond, we’ll sue.

Maybe, after all these years, the craziest story I ever wrote.

That is a good point. What is more countercultural than "love your enemies"? Living that out is guaranteed to rile up folks from MAGA to the left and everywhere in between.

I've known @prchovanec.bsky.social since our days together in Beijing. And then our days in the piloting world. He's a GOP guy. I am not. He was raised Catholic. Not me. But—unlike today's elected GOP Sen/House/Govs—he has principles that predate the MAGA era.
