I think it's important to remember that if you have a good job and a 401k, only watch Fox News, and aren't plugged into vulnerable communities, you probably genuinely think the United States is thriving despite the efforts of anti-American leftists.

Jeffries out there bringing a Jell-O salad to a gun fight.

NEW — Video posted to social media shows Unraveled Press co-founder Steve Held being detained by federal agents outside the Broadview immigration facility earlier this evening. A collection of Chicago newsrooms is calling for his immediate release. thetriibe.com/2025/09/chic...

🧑‍🌾 ICYMI — “When are you gonna stand up for us instead of kissing Trump’s ass for these trade deals?” A MISSOURI FARMER to repmarkalford (R) about Trump’s policies raising prices and crushing farmers. (H/T @corybooker )

It will take YEARS to restore even modest trust in the Dept. of Justice after this administration.

I don't know how to let people know that social media is the weapon of choice for the Right's war on humanity.

High earners 50+ must now pay taxes on their catch-up contributions upfront, at a higher rate.

If you're looking for a good music app to play local files, I recommend Symfonium. It can sync to multiple sources, including Plex, Google Drive, Emby, Jellyfin, and more. I've been using it for a couple months now, and it is so much better than streaming with ads. symfonium.app

“When 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech.” — U.S. President Donald J. Trump

You can't be “fair and balanced” about right and wrong.

The blustering backfired.

A federal judge today struck down a DHS policy of withholding funding from states unwilling to cooperate with ICE, calling it "coercive" and "unconstitutional."

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

Jimmy Kimmel had a very moving return to television after the government had his show dropped. I've never been a Kimmel fan, but I think I'll start watching.

New updates to Gmail make relevance and engagement 10x more important. Segment your list! #emailgeek

“President Trump just fired a top federal prosecutor because he failed to bring charges against two despised opponents, New York Attorney General Letitia James and ex-FBI chief James Comey.” “‘Yeah, I want him out,’” Trump said after ABC broke the story. Tish James is “‘very guilty of something.’”

Good morning, beloved. Love is a commitment, not a feeling. It may not always engender affinity, but it will never destroy its object. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

President Macron: The Russian aggression is not a problem of Europe but rather a problem which plagues us all. It's our problem. It poses the eternal question of the force of law against "might is right", freedom against imperialism.

So we're going back to the moon! 🌕

Banning transgender servicemembers, shuttering military women advisory committees, and provoking international tensions, along with generally low enlistments, is going to lead to a draft.

Project 2025 actions by President Trump, which he knew nothing about: ✓ appointed Project 2025 authors in key government roles ✓ launched mass deportations ✓ replaced civil servants with partisan loyalists ✓ defunded PBS and NPR ✓ crippled FEMA ✓ banned DEI ✓ banned transgender troops

So instead of China spying on U.S. TikTok users. The United States government will.

“The Trump Gold Card Visa officially launched Friday for 80% less than its original $5 million price tag—a telltale sign, say immigration investment experts, of low demand.”

Perhaps the single greatest factor bringing us to where we are now—socially and politically—is the media choosing not to be the arbiters of truth. Providing a “fair” representation of both sides of a fact issue is nonsense.

Carrying an umbrella makes my shoes wet. I should stop carrying an umbrella.

It's still unreal to me that the U.S. Department of Justice is decidedly anti-justice.

BREAKING

President Donald Trump, 21 Sept. 2025, speaking at a memorial service for Charlie Kirk: “He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them.”

Great things happening in America right now.

The last 48 hours have exposed the gross weaponization of DOJ. The president’s public pressuring of AG Bondi confirms what we already knew: DOJ’s impartiality is all but gone.

Jarius Brown was compliant up until the assault began, at which point it became impossible for him to comply in any way.

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

Interesting — @marshablackburn acknowledging Memphis city councilwoman @jerrigreen4tn , an opponent running for Governor as a Dem. (Green responds by saying occupation isn’t a solution and pointing out Marsha does no town halls or actual public appearances in Memphis)

“You levy a straw tax on the poor and impose a tax on their grain. Therefore, though you have built stone mansions, you will not live in them; though you have planted lush vineyards, you will not drink their wine.” (Amos 5:11)

Canceling the Annual Hunger Survey while also pushing for semi-annual earnings reports while also removing independent federal overseers is a very clear sign that the administration EXPECTS to perform poorly as a government.

Shots were fired at an ABC affiliate in Sacramento following a protest of the Jimmy Kimmel cancellation.

Turns out, investors want transparency.

Man, this is spot on. The adults in the world are explaining to the toddlers in American government that they can't hit others because they don't want to share. And it's going as you'd expect.

It's wild that Glass-Steagall was repealed for *checks notes* restricting the greed of big banks.

Gabby Giffords: I Mourn for Charlie Kirk’s Family

Things are really bad in the United States right now.

It's obvious that this administration hates the American people, our Constitution, and truth in general, but what's most frustrating is how many people don't care at all that American rights are being shredded at an alarming pace.

“I think people who willfully, purposefully, and gleefully lie to the American people in order to damage someone's reputation should, like a registered sex offender, be required by law to come with that warning label for the rest of their lives.” — Will McAvoy, The Newsroom

I'm watching The Residence, and they mentioned Badrutt's Palace so naturally I want to stay there now. 2,000 per night, though.

Another one is out.

I'm rewatching The Newsroom and relearning just what's wrong with information access in the U.S.
