By "everyone" does he mean "no one"?

The Trump ethos is very much ”foreigners suck, go USA,“ so proTrump people will cheer any sneering at or insulting of foreigners, whether they are allies or not, because they have such a juvenile concept of the world.

Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.

One of the most frustrating things is how much our political system acts like he isn't self-evidently non compos mentis.

"A former senior ICE official...said that in the past ICE officers did not receive extensive training in traffic stops and that ICE historically did not make many such stops bc the agency focused on other enforcement. Under Trump, ICE has significantly increased street arrests and traffic stops."

Finally reading the full Gold Card EO and wow is it wild. The order says that any person who pays $1 million is, by definition, a person of "exceptional business ability" and therefore qualified for an EB-2 visa. Does anything better sum up the Trump ethos than "all rich people are exceptional."?

As always, HCR makes excellent points. Here's a summary for the TL;DR folks like me

The next time someone says "we're better than this" I want to them to tell me why they think that. This catastrophe didn't happen twice by accident.

My kind of headline...Trump is running scared

Some of us do.

Another powerful man accused of abuse

This is exactly right and precisely why he wanted to do this in DC where said elections will be certified

Le vibe shift 💅

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today: 1. Your countries all suck. 2. None of you know what you are doing. 3. The US is better at everything. 4. All because of me. 5. I’m right about everything. 6. You should listen to me & do what I say. 7. And give me lots of awards.

NEW: Newly released data shows CBP has funneled the DNA data of some 2,000 US citizens, including that of children, into the FBI's CODIS database, which is intended for criminal investigations. @dell.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/dhs-ha...

Did they get the president's approval though?

This is deliberate so they can be replaced by Hegseth's military attorneys who were fired a few months ago.

"US is respected like never before" Up is down

New: For @msnbc.com I wrote abt Trump’s absurd EO declaring antifa a “domestic terror org” I trace history of MAGA manufacturing antifa bogeyman to both distract from v real far right violence, & to create a pretext for vigilantes & police to target the wider left www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

1. Billionaire Larry Ellison is set to acquire TikTok's US operations. Ellison, the second-richest person in the world, is a Trump supporter and a vocal enthusiast of the surveillance state.

"This is no way to run a court, let alone a country". Wish we could boycott the court, but nooooo

Trump's mad at India's Modi, so he retaliates. First with tariffs and now with the new H-1B Visa program.

-Perkins Coie (+ other firm that didn't back down). -Harvard (after momentary false start) -"Lower" fed judiciary. (Not Roger Taney "supreme" court.) -Local grand juries. -Govs like Pritzker and Newsom -WSJ and NYT, when sued. -Millions of protestors -Now Jimmy Kimmel. Our tapestry of resistance.

“The military’s mission is to kill people and break things — and Jags are trained to support that mission within the boundaries of military law.That’s not the same as immigration law.So why would we be using those attorneys,of all the lawyers out there,to decide the fate of families seeking refuge?”

Not good at all.

Idk it feels like something is shifting. This tweet was also the language of the AP push alert, and just now the Times chimed in:

Today, the president of the United States of America said that the country's current pediatric vaccine schedule was "too much liquid... going into that baby" and then issued a decree announcing that anti-fascism is terrorism

When Trump and RFK said there is no autism in Amish communities I yelled at the TV. This is persistent medical misinformation. It’s depraved. It’s also the cornerstone of RFK’s eugenic worldview. Here’s an explainer from 2023: publichealthcollaborative.org/alerts/anti-...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Spread the word...the correct one, that is. "According to U.S. law enforcement, there has never been a terrorist incident in the United States connected to antifa."

"We’re at the precipice of the Trump administration turning America’s city streets into the front lines of a domestic war on terror."

Co-opting the language of #MeToo to suggest we should indulge conspiracy theories or false beliefs imparted to families by people like RFK Jr, who has himself been accused of being a sexual predator, is nasty work.

Look I despise Trump as much as anyone; but when he's right, he's right.

The ever-shrinking Senate filibuster

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

“Donald Trump is attempting to use this moment to seize power and go after his political opponents.” “Trump is turning the Justice Department into his personal weapon.” Democrats are incensed over President Trump’s threat to prosecute political enemies. www.notus.org/democrats/de...

I keep saying, this guys numbers are TERRIBLE, he is VULNERABLE...now is the time for people to push back against Trumpism

Now apparently IRS isn’t vetting advisory committee members anymore? But what about the rest of the federal advisory committees at other agencies…? www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Good for these volunteers—without them, history would disappear. We should do the same for data: build a data vault, like the global seed vault.

On @lastweektonight.com, John Oliver says that FCC Chair Carr's claim that Nexstar and Sinclair are "local broadcasters" responding to their community "values" by not airing Kimmel, is like "describing Coca-Cola as a neighborhood soda shop or Boeing as mom-and-pop plane-crash business." 🤣 🤣 🤣

"it's too much liquid" going into the baby, instantly up there with the injecting bleach moment.

That's not how this works "Brendan Carr, in a recent Fox News interview: “We’re going back to that era where local TV stations, judging the public interest, get to decide what the American people think.”
