This weak, brazen attempt by Stephen Miller both to chill free speech and to set up a premise to criminalize it — and, to be clear, this is the very type of speech most central to First Amendment protections — would be laughably embarrassing if this man did not have the power that he has.

NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court. The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on. The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

The incredible Dr. Gregg Gonsalves @gregggonsalves.bsky.social is out with a new piece about the impact of having a charlatan in charge of science and healthcare. As usual he pulls no punches.

It’s wild to me that the Pentagon is just… fine with reporting that most of our senior military are going to be in the same location. Personal security nightmare.

Like clockwork. ⏰

For days, Republicans tried to claim Kimmel's suspension wasn't due to government pressure. Then, Trump comes in and admits it had everything to do with government pressure. He did something similar with the upcoming Comey indictment. Just another piece of the puzzle.

Excellent read 👉

8/ Tylenol remains one of the few safe options for pain and fever during pregnancy. And treating fever is important because untreated high fever carries real risks for birth defects and possibly neurodevelopment. The benefits outweigh the hypothetical, unproven risks.v

1/ RFK Jr.’s promised autism “report” landed this week. Instead of new science, we got headlines, a press conference, and far-reaching claims drawn from decades of existing research. Parents and pregnant people were left with overwhelming anxiety. Here’s what the evidence actually says 👇

NPR - The federal prosecutor who built two criminal cases against President Trump is sounding the alarm about dire threats to the legal system. www.npr.org/2025/09/25/nx-s1-...

Even the wildlife is coming after us…😬

Lot of provocation from Russia lately. There have been Russian airspace violations in Poland, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, and Romania - all in September.

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."

Chris Murphy: "Trump's Ukraine policy is just who was in the room last. What he said here in New York was helpful and positive for Ukraine, but next week he'll be attacking Zelenskyy as a corrupt dictator. The real bottom line is that he hasn't actually done anything to help Ukraine."

. @adamserwer.bsky.social is correct. A major difference between Trump I and II is that lots of people decided not to fight this time around. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Rubio's UN meeting with Lavrov showcased a major shift as he reiterated Trump's demand that Moscow "stop the killing" in Ukraine. This was yet another frustration for the Kremlin, coming just 24 hours after Trump had called Russia a "paper tiger.” euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/25/t...

Harry Enten: "The more RFK Jr is trying to implement his policies, the further down his net approval rating goes. And at this particular point, 21 points underwater is not a place you want to be."

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hello Straw Man.

A preview: the rules for release of a non-archival (those who left service fewer than 62 years ago) Official Military Personnel File are crystal clear—to agency personnel, political leadership, and the public: NARA may never release the full file without the veteran's or next-of-kin's authorization.

When purging government agency watchdogs, "President Trump violated the [Inspector General Act]. That much is obvious." But a federal judge found that there's nothing she can do at this time about that violation. Ruling storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I told you, they’ll wait until UNGA is over and move right toward this mess

Good to know that people are being fired according to the totally objective “cause a disruption” policy. www.thegazette.com/higher-educa...

Former FBI Director James Comey's expected indictment comes on the heels of a top prosecutor resigning under pressure after opposing the filing of charges against Comey, who for years has been a target of President Donald Trump’s ire. More details at the link in bio.

ACE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan: "Somebody chose to come in and kill these detainees while they were being processed." (Note how administration officials don't have their stories straight on this.)

GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy on Trump and RFK Jr’s claims about Tylenol and autism: “Talk to your OB about it. But secondly, I was talking to a woman, she goes, ‘Oh, this is great. Two men telling me not to take the only thing I can take when my back's hurting and I'm pregnant.’”

In making unsupported claims about autism, the Trump administration is "pointing the finger" at parents and making them feel guilty, says autism community advocate Colin Killick.

NEW: The group Secret Handshake tells me after the statue was toppled, they were told there was "internal pressure to find a reason to remove this statue" Read the interview, see the video and pics INSIDE for @huffpost.com www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

In 2016, JD Vance mused that Trump might be "America's Hitler"

The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled - reports

Update. Ed Martin withdraws his letter to the Sandy Hook FBI witness per his lawyer.

The president does not believe in free speech and his administration’s efforts to punish critics and coerce media outlets will continue until he can turn on his TV, flip through the channels, and see nothing but Fox-style propaganda on every network. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

a Reichstag fire, but one of them every week

Vance leads a segment of the right-wing commentariat which seems determined to offer statements as if Donald Trump were not the president. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

I talked to Ukrainian members of Parliament off the rec and turns out they had absolutely no clue what’s going on the US internally. To the point where I had to show them factual docs for them to believe it. Power of twitter, where all get their info. 😞

“I’m really good at this stuff.* Your countries are going to hell.” — President tRump, speaking the United Nations. *Except for pronouncing "Acetaminophen"

Important to remember: Luigi Mangione has *two* simultaneous criminal prosecutions against him, one state and one federal. The order referenced here, and the sanctions it threatens, only applies to the federal case.

First Amendment violation.

DOGE was a failure because its entire premise was flawed, and, on top of that, the people who ran and implemented it were both arrogant and ignorant.

Van Hollen: "What we are seeing is a gross violation of the 1st Amendment and the right to free speech. I mean, the government cannot use its power to try to silence its critics in the United States. That's what our Constitution says ... we fought a revolution for the right to free speech."
