“If he doesn’t like war, he’s not doing a good job of showing it right now.” @billmaher clowned on his own show for trying to frame Trump as a peace President as he bombs boats with no evidence, brings us to the brink with Venezuela, etc (H/T @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

When governments cannot get their act together, and run economic policies that are unsustainable, bouts of inflation just happen. By the time markets wake up, it is too late

This quote from Sydney Reid, who was acquitted in a humiliating case for Jeanine Pirro today, is <<chef's kiss>>. She's right tho--criminal cases have the possibility to backfire in really significant way. www.huffpost.com/entry/sidney...

This entire article is, unsurprisingly, kicked off by Brett Kavanaugh and includes this: "A spokesperson for Kavanaugh did not return an emailed request for comment."

Sydney Reid acquitted. This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault. The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems. And now this. Kudos to the FPDS!

BREAKING: Immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras after the use of tear gas and other actions against protesters, a judge rules.

Ukraine is innovating the future of warfare — out-innovating and out-fighting Russia and teaching the West what modern war really looks like. substack.com/profile/2774...

This is the first AP report I have seen on this. I'm glad they're finally covering it. apnews.com/article/chic...

In a new interview, Howard Lutnick reveals the reason why Trump, Bondi and Mike Johnson have been working so hard to cover up the Epstein files, which we pretty much already knew but now it’s coming from someone who was friends with Epstein. nypost.com/2025/10/01/u...

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

this entire opinion is really remarkable, and Judge Young calls it exactly like it is when it comes to ICE hiding behind masks. We must not tolerate such an insidious assault on who we aspire to be as a nation.

It seems this is even dumber than I thought. The active ingredient in Tylenol is acetaminophen. Other drugs that have acetaminophen: NyQuil®/DayQuil® Excedrin® Alka-Seltzer Plus® Mucinex® Robitussin® and some others that I didn’t recognize so did not list. But sure guys. Point only at Tylenol. 🙄

Family separation is back under Trump. Just CNN alone found more than 100 American children left stranded after ICE took their parents. Here’s just one story… Meet Isaac

Ouch. Also I don’t think he is going anywhere. This year 1 of 10.

True Story.

If saying something negative against Charlie Kirk, using his own words, can get you fired from your job, how long before you can get fired for saying something against Trump? It’s fascism, and we are here.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

I am against the assassination of anyone. However, the pearl clutching that is going on on the right is a tad over the top. Consider these. 👇

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

A U.S. law bars the State Dept. from $$$ support of “'units of foreign security forces' — which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons — facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations." Such as the money going to El Salvador's CECOT? [@arianalfigueroa.bsky.social]

😳 what's going on here 🤷‍♂️

This from @jdcivicscience.bsky.social nails why small town, red America is not turning on Trump.

The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

Van Hollen: "This case is not only about one man, as important as that is. It is about protecting fundamental freedoms and the fundamental principle in the Constitution for due process that protects everyone who resides in America."

I coached at a school without one trans kid, but the girls had to be in the gym at 5:45 am and out by 7 am because our sport didn’t matter. If folks really cared about equity in girls sports, they’d fund them and give them the same access to gyms and fields and uniforms and coaches and busses.

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

Do you want to be remembered as someone who did nothing? What if the next person is someone you love? Your children? Parents? Or you? Apathy is the enemy. Do not let this be our legacy. Due process is a right. Dial on repeat, demand action from Republicans. They can stop this NOW. (202) 224-3121.

Does SCOTUS realize that fealty to Trump will make their jobs unnecessary in the future?

I too, am advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

They spent the last four years telling us people who invaded the capital and beat police officers with flagpoles were unjustly persecuted civil rights heroes and now it’s taken about 45 minutes for them to be like “yeah if you write an op-ed you’re going to the blacksite that’s just common sense”
