Once praised for his moral clarity, Disney's Bob Iger now faces questions of integrity after bowing to political pressure and suspending Jimmy Kimmel. www.status.news/p/bob-iger-j...

I left 3 years ago. No Facebook, no insta. Will not participate in the amassing of personal info to enrich an *ashore that will only destroy democracy around the world.

What does Jimmy Kimmel really think about Charlie Kirk? His own words: "Senseless murder." "A lot of extraordinarily vile responses." "Some people are cheering this, which is something I won't ever understand." Why is the FCC is really targeting him? He went on to make fun of Trump for 10 mins.

Hiding the truth.

FORTUNE MAG: “.. Trump has seized control of private enterprise’s strategic decision-making and investment policies while invading corporate board rooms .. “.. This is far more dangerous to capitalism than a city-run grocery store.” @jeffsonnenfeld.bsky.social fortune.com/2025/08/12/m...

This week on the blog: Our look at the structures of life for peasant farmers continues with children and childrearing. We model some plausible birth patterns for an ancient peasant farming society (Roman Egypt) and think through the implications for daily life. acoup.blog/2025/08/08/c...

Congratulations! Amazing!

reiterating what i said earlier today at #nabj25: support student journalism and student media in anyway you can. they stay on folks’ necks.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com In defanging the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court “would extinguish a law that more than any other made the promise of American democracy a reality,” our columnist @jamellebouie.net writes.

I'd been mulling over an essay about reality and AI and politics even while at The Post. Now I've written it. www.pbump.net/o/blurred-wo...

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths. ENOUGH. I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:

Apropos of...well. Here is the letter my colleagues and I wrote in mid-March, imagining how we would respond to the Trump administration's demands. With thanks again to @dandrezner.bsky.social for hosting our guest post. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/guest-post...

🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @oversightdemocrats.house.gov subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.

We don’t need more files. We needed to believe the women. Epstein’s victims told the truth for decades. They were ignored, silenced, erased. Now Trump is panicking—and that’s our signal. Believe them. Demand justice. Not later. Now. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1amD...

Fuck yeah Obama. Slap that filthy orange bitch upside the head.

@faizapatel.bsky.social reviews "The Double Black Box" by Ashley Deeks, finding that it "provides both a useful metaphor for thinking about national security AI and a timely overview of the current known uses of this technology."

And, uh, some personal news: This is also my last column for The Post. I was offered and accepted a buyout. To answer one possible next question, I'm not sure what's next save taking some time off. If you want, you can enter your email at pbump.net and I'll let you know when I figure it out!

How convenient! Cutting Obamacare has long been a GOP dream, something Donald Trump tried to do during his first term—and would have if it wasn’t for John McCain’s famous thumbs down, which saved the Affordable Care Act and enraged much of his party. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

This is disastrous news for the whole country

Probably fine.

A source close to the MAGA administration suggested the president’s “deals” are all theatrics.

www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... ‘It’s hard to imagine an outcome in the secret Carney-Trump negotiations that would justify this level of back-tracking from a govt that promised Canadians “elbows up” diplomacy and a new relationship with the imperial heartland.’ @policyalternatives.ca

Well done, AOC…👇 Well done. Corrupt. SCOTUS. Impeachment. 😎✨

We’re doing this because Paramount helping Trump capture the free press and weaken the rule of law would harm everyone — Paramount, its shareholders and America as a whole. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

“A lot of the new media is communicating with a level of authenticity—or at least perceived authenticity—that institutional media has been unable to deliver,” @postbaron.bsky.social tells @davidfrum.bsky.social. It’s a challenge “that we clearly have to confront.”

I was honoured to be in Picton to speak about resistance to tyranny. The @pictongazette.bsky.social is the oldest weekly newspaper in Canada. Local/independent voices are vital in fighting the disinformation bots trying to break our country. #elbowsup www.pictongazette.ca/post/this-is...

There’s a reason that the very day the GOP was introducing a bill that would *ban states from making laws related to AI* the AI execs themselves were in Saudi Arabia with Trump, minting billion dollar deals. AI has become an oligarchic project — and democracy an impediment.
