Bluesky deleted my post complaining about the CEO lol. I did not delete it myself! Full on Lowtaxing from Jay here.

Trump acting like a fascist, quoting Hitler, and being racist. The world: Trump is a racist fascist. MAGA: How dare you call our Daddy a racist fascist! Go back to where you came from! Also we're going to get you fired and cancelled and investigate you as a terrorist!

Being a columnist is so cool. You can have absolutely no experience whatsoever and still drop whatever takes you want. Serve in the military? No? Work in natsec? No? Have an academic background in defense? No? Have any government experience at all? No? Who cares! Fire that column off anyways!

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

The Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi seven years ago today. His editor @karenattiah.bsky.social wrote this two years ago.

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

Once again: Hegseth is the exact type of guy The Art of War was written for, which means he will never read it

When this is all over and if we still have a country, everyone in the GOP is going to say "I didn't see it" in the same way that people in post-war Germany denied knowing about deportations, concentration camps, and the Holocaust.

really enjoying all the people trying to explain the bible to the pope today

Wow, the University of Washington's Psych 201 class does *not* play go fuckin Huskies Nazi UW students fuck off

Dear Ezra Klein, bodily autonomy is not a bargaining chip. What rights are you willing to give up? Let’s see you walk the talk. The burger is on me. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI. Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters. He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

I work with Veterans. If I told them that they "killed people and broke things for a living" they would (rightfully) tell me to go to hell. Those that have had to kill someone in the line of duty most often view it with sadness, regret, and one of the worst experiences of their lives.

"Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query “does trump show signs of dementia” as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents."

I love you, Bluesky.

How is this sustainable?

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

I’m fighting for Eric Adams’ voters. Andrew Cuomo is fighting for his donors.

I really hate how everyone looks like a disgraced magician nowadays

EXCLUSIVE: Vulnerable Republican Rob Wittman was caught fundraising at an expensive D.C. restaurant instead of doing his job to stop a government shutdown. He also claimed Republicans were working today, but they weren’t on the floor.

As ICE continues to ramp up its lawless actions, kidnapping and deporting people from communities across this country, I will continue to hold them accountable. This administration is tearing apart families, and we must continue to use our voices to fight back.

Trump declares war on Americans: "Our history is filled with military heroes who took on all enemies foreign and domestic. That's what the oath says -- foreign and domestic. Well we also have domestic."

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

There is no bottom. The most catastrophically unqualified cabinet of all time. It’s all a vanity project. “The most powerful country in the world” decided to give away leadership, values, prestige, influence for entertainment.

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

This is either completely made up or it’s Fetterman. Both equally plausible.

God, I hope this is true 🤣 “You have until Wednesday to swear her (Adelita Grijalva) in…or I will release your Grindr profile and your IP address. I bring receipts, bitch!” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Chef’s kiss.

Commentary: Trump's deployment of federal troops to U.S. cities is the political equivalent of a lit fuse, increasing the likelihood of an incident that can be used to manufacture some greater crisis.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

the way she says “i’m so excited” at the end as she smiles so big is cold as hell. she doesn’t give a shit that he’s dead. wild.

Too often, we talk about homelessness as if it's natural or inevitable. The truth is that it's a political choice. When then-Gov. Cuomo cut the Advantage program rather than tax his wealthy donors, his decision sent thousands of New York families into shelters.

lmao

Can someone share my news on X so the weirdos can have a meltdown

[tv commercial opens] [a woman comes into a kitchen and puts down her grocery bags] “as a busy mom, I’m always looking for faster, cheaper ways to launder hundreds of millions of dollars”

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

do not be a rube and give this site or any other site your ID

Dude I’m sorry but this is not something you should be able to professionally survive if your job is predicting election results. This is like if a basketball player put the basketball under their jersey and pretended to be pregnant instead of passing and shooting.

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

"I don't know, your breath reeks of booze and you're apparently wet yourself, and last time you deliberately hit three of us with the car, but I guess if you pinky promise to drive safe I'll give you the keys."

Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.
