The decision isn’t absolutely final yet, but latest Supreme Court decision flies in the face of how our democracy works since the Magna Carta was written back in 1215. www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

Very curious as to why Secretary of Defense/War is convening an in-person meeting of all the Flag Officers (Rank is O-7 and above, at least Brigadier General or Rear Admiral Lower Half). crooksandliars.com/2025/09/whis...

Pretty late in the day to do so, but the NY Times is getting better at seeing through Trump Administration tactics. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Russian truck ran a red light and hit an 18-car fuel train. Why do Trump’s people seem to have not learned the isolationist lessons of the 1930s? The blogger says they’re “all isolationists and nativists.” We SHOULD be shaping the environment so...

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.

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

Monica Moreta-Galarza, the Ecuadorian woman who was slammed to the floor by an ICE agent, spent some time in the hospital, but is unhurt. Th agent has been relieved of his duties and disciplined. crooksandliars.com/2025/09/ice-...

I think that Democrats are right to blow off threats of mass permanent firings from the Trump Administration. Seems to me that DOGE already fired so many people that now the government is having to hire them back! crooksandliars.com/2025/09/demo...

Democrats have plenty of public support to wage a government shutdown, but the Trump Administration will make it harder by conducting mass firings if a shutdown commences. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Measles haven’t been at this stage since 1992. The reason they’re at this stage is 100% the fault of Trump appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We’ve had 40 outbreaks this year compared to 16 for 2024. crooksandliars.com/2025/09/meas...

Every living former Federal Reserve Chair spoke up in favor of the Fed’s independence from the president’s direct control. The Supreme Court received a friend of the court brief from all of the living former chairpersons. They pointed to... talkingpointsmemo.com/news/former-...

Yeah, I don’t really see the US national interest in bailing out Argentina for poor economic decision-making.

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

Yeah, in Trump's ten years in politics, I very seriously do not believe he's EVER made a joke! Ronald Reagan DID make authentically funny jokes that demonstrated a real self-awareness, but Trump has never come out with a genuinely funny joke. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

More abuses from ICE.

Trump has now come up with a NEW problem with his UN speech! He claims no one could hear him as the sound was off. Funny how no one said anything until afterwards. balloon-juice.com/2025/09/25/t...

Murphy: "The point is to get a few of Trump's political adversaries in jail, but the real point is a tried & true tactic of despots all over the world, which is to just harass & intimidate their political opposition so that protesters don't show up, candidates don't run. That's how democracies die."

Seems plausible that Trump is pursuing a mini-Nixonian "Madman" theory of foreign policy in the Ukraine-Russia war. Is it likely to work? Nah, he'd be much better off pursuing a steady, consistent policy. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Will Alex Jones have to pay the $1.5 billion judgment in the Sandy Hook defamation case? Sigh! Maybe not, as a member of Trump’s Justice Department cozies up to him. A few excerpts from Trump’s UN speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

A few pieces on Trump’s relationship with Putin and the war in Ukraine. balloon-juice.com/2025/09/24/f...

Trump describes Viktor Orban as a friend and of course Orban will stop importing Russian oil if asked. Orban refuses. “Russian forces killed a civilian family in Shandryholove and took a girl hostage to shield their offensive near Lyman.” It gets wore from there. Zelenskyy to UN: “There are no...

Yeah, man, the South famously never tried to impose its will on the North. Good talk.

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

Aww! Trump can't convince his good buddy Viktor Orban to stop buying Russian oil! Sevastopol's running VERY low on fuel! It's cool that Trump's changed his mind on Russia-Ukraine, but no one believes the change is permanent. Ukrainian volunteers rescuing pets. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Very interesting. Well worth the few minutes it takes to watch it. www.facebook.com/reel/1812178...

Sad to see that the makes of Tylenol have taken a financial hit over Trump/RFK Jr. linking the pain medicine to autism. Not a taker of any pain medications myself, but it's sad to see people take the word of a complete quack for this. finance.yahoo.com/quote/KVUE/?...

Trump just signed his confession to censoring ABC. To all the organizations who have done these drug deals with the administration: unless you stand up to a bully, they are going to keep coming back.

Trump's Truth Social post has a "tell" in it. "The White House was told by ABC that [Kimmel's] Show was cancelled!" Why would a TV network inform the President about a late-night comedian? Unless of course, Trump had EVERYTHING to do with Kimmel being suspended! www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

You see, what right-wingers who defend Trump NEVER do, is to compare Trump’s actions to Lawrence Britt’s “14 Characteristics of Fascism,” probably the single most authoritative definition of the term. By leaving the... crooksandliars.com/2025/09/fox-...

Trump’s “negotiating skills” are far more PR hype than reality. But also, if he acknowledges that Democrats do indeed have some leverage, that means Project 2025 is at a dead end. Obviously, he doesn’t want to face that. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-b...
