More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Watters: What is it like being married to Stephen Miller? Miller: He's an incredibly inspiring man who gets me going in the morning with his speeches being like let's start the day, I'm going to defeat the left and we are going to win.

NEW: Angelo State University in San Angelo, TX has told faculty that they can't discuss trans people in curriculum. When I asked the justification for the policy, they referenced Texas state law - but Texas law doesn't forbid discussions of trans people in higher ed. www.chron.com/culture/arti...

It's fascinating that Tom Homan doesn't deny taking a CAVA bag with $50,000 in it to throw a federal contract. He merely states a legal conclusion that there was nothing the matter with taking this bribe. And that's because Trump approves, apparently. Maybe he even got a cut.

BREAKING Sinclair Broadcast group which owns 31 ABC affiliates says it will continue to preempt Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

Ingraham: They said you took $50,000 in cash in a bag from an undercover FBI agent… Homan: I did nothing criminal or illegal.

The only mention in this column about rescissions is a quote from Peter Welch, "Trump’s opposition to a shutdown rings false given his unilateral spending cuts." With not explanation that protecting power of the purse is ALSO one of Dems demands.

Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.

periodically I see the president doing things like “post crimes for his attorney general to do that were maybe supposed to be an unencrypted DM on his own personal social network” and I remember that he got elected in large part because of information security practices and I black out in rage

There is truth to the idea that media outlets are drawn to negative, sensational news. Everyone writes about Florida eliminating vaccine mandates. Yet we have a letter signed by over 1,000 Florida physicians opposing this decision, and no outlet would published it. They don't even respond at all.

A president weaponizing government power to silence speech he doesn't like is a crisis for our democracy. We must stand with those who refuse to bow to political blackmail — and call out those, like ABC, who cave to a wannabe king and put our rights at risk.

I wrote about how Facebook (née Meta) destroys everything a while back - based in part on my experiences in the early 2010s as a reporter in Southeast Asia - and each month, each day, they somehow manage to find new ways to become more evil. little-flying-robots.ghost.io/facebook-des...

It is so damn obvious the trans sports issue is a drummed up nonsense moral panic masquerading as “common sense” - but if you look deeper for two seconds you see how the whole point of sex segregated sports is to defund women athletics & to build and propagandize the western idea of women as weak.

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

"Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes – on camera – to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.”

Advocates say the Trump administration’s goal is clear: make the pre-deportation process so punitive that targets give up and leave voluntarily. The administration and its allies see the detention policy as a corrective to decades of catch-and-release policies www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

I want this video of Tom Homan taking $50k in marked bills from an FBI agent playing on repeat for the next year in front of the White House

FACT: When the 1st Trump administration cut the budget for ACA Open Enrollment information by 90%, Jimmy Kimmel used his platform to make sure that everyone on the marketplace in America knew that you needed to sign up or change your marketplace plan. That speaks for itself. Miss you, Jimmy Kimmel.🙏

$GOOGL #H1B @reuters.com

To recap, Trump signed a proclamation saying that after midnight tonight, no one with an H-1B visa may enter the US unless they have paid $100,000. However, anonymous White House officials are saying it doesn't apply to people with current H-1B visas — yet there is NO official guidance! None!

Breaking: LOS ANGELES (AP) — California governor signs a law banning most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during some operations.

It is insanity that this hugely consequential news — whether Trump’s EO vomit tirade about H1Bs applies to current visa holders — is sourced *anonymously*! No one will go on record to clarify the new rules!? www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Important thread.

10) Then they arrest her. She will likely be charged w/assault on federal officers even though she did not assault any officers. Just like the father they just murdered dropping his kids at school, they will lie in court & claim they feared for their lives. Note Chief Bovino shows up for the press.

8) Different views of him literally jumping on her back as she was trying to seek medical attention. Chokehold is occurring. This is extremely painful. I would be surprised if she does not have permanent damage to her throat/esophagus.
