I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.

ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

Residents of a district unrepresented in the House should pay no federal tax once they do their part by electing a Rep until that Rep is sworn in. A running counter should display the lost revenue (including compounding interest) the Speaker is costing everyone else. No taxation w/o representation.

These people are such trash.

Sinclair is refusing to air Kimmel. @Disney needs to pull their programming. High Potential Abbott Elementary The Rookie Shifting Gears 9-1-1 Will Trent Grey’s Anatomy Dancing with the Stars. PULL THEM ALL FROM SINCLAIR. Leave a gaping hole in their schedule where their ethics aren't.

put the word out that we do not back up

I can kind of see why this would boil Karl Rove's piss - it must seem disgustingly low effort to someone who cooked up fake weapons of mass destruction evidence to present to the UN. That took months and months of actual work

"I thought the Nazis were wrong, but now that Hitler is Chancellor of Germany, we must accept this is just standard Third Reich stuff. Standard Nazism. We'll just have to live here with each other believing what we believe" Come on man this is ridiculous. You are a clown.

I know I‘m in hot water as a German at a German university for saying anything about this or the genocide in Gaza but they are REPORTING people to the government who may be deported, or arrested, disappeared. I actually think as a German I should be speaking out against this. Or we learned nothing.

cato institute analysis of murders by political ideology since 1975, excluding 9/11

And there it is: two current elected officials have openly called for imprisoning our trans neighbors. Will they also be forced to wear a clothing patch with a symbol that indicates their identity-crime? We are in, what, the fourth or verse of “First they came for…”? Who will be next?

One of the most incredible government statistics that I have ever seen is called the cocaine seizure effectiveness rate, and it’s the official estimate of how much cocaine is successfully smuggled into the U.S. at land border ports of entry. It has never been above 5%.

Massie grills Kash Patel on his attempted coverup of Epstein files that detail additional people, including "one high profile government official," implicated in Epstein's crimes

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

The world according to Todd Blanche: Conspiring to overturn the results of a presidential election = not RICO Yelling in the vicinity of the president while he dines at Joe’s Stone Crab = RICO Ok, got it! 👌

Conservatism is as Conservatism does.

"That’s why it’s so hard to sell the lie that Trump doesn’t collude with Putin: He just goes out and does it again." www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-trum...

Whoa.

Well, he’s right about that.

And no there will be zero mention of the white nationalists violently assaulting other rightwingers for not being fascist enough in the media's ongoing freakout over toxic political culture because why would there be

Kash Patel: [sweating profusely] IS ANYONE NEARBY TRANS

Breaking: The @wsj.com is reporting that the comment was not made by Brian Kilmeade but by an unidentified transgender person

And you know who prosecuted that case, intentionally downplaying and obscuring evidence of McVeigh's connections to the broader white supremacists movement, did the same for the Olympics bombing, and brought that same energy to his tenure as AG? Merritt Fucking Garland.

No really, I am s h o c k e d

I know you got the long video game answer but the short answer is fascists love DARVO

Why do they keep saying Charlie Kirk was an advocate for free speech when he made a hit list of professors who didn’t say what he liked? I just don’t get it.

this whole thread, really, but specifically this.

I was expecting the Reichstag Fire parallel to be made, but I did not expect it to come from the right.

This means he's seen confirmation that the shooter was maga, yeah?

Let’s honor Charlie Kirk’s death by demanding the release of the Epstein files.

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Much lower. They can and will go much lower.

There's no reason to have a conversation about political violence based in rhetoric rather than data. I don't need to note that every bomb threat on Election Day in 2024 was a MAGA bomb threat. I don't need to mention January 6, Paul Pelosi, or the two dead Minnesota Democrats.

They are currently en route to the scene

This is the same country that rehabilitate traitorous slave owners who lost a war and seceded from the country. We erect statues in their honor and name buildings after them. Of course America would elevate and sanitize Charlie Kirk.

HitlerSuckfest1488: "This has radicalized me."

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Political violence is a sign of a nation that is insecure The idea that random violence is a virtue of a society is mortifying Charlie Kirk condoned political violence against enemies of his political ideology He used his voice to support this insecure society where random violence is a virtue

🥴🤦‍♀️

Exactly. You don't have to celebrate it, but the worst thing to do in this moment is to give in to the inevitable right-wing framing as benign paragons of morality beset by bloodthirsty liberal kooks. I mean J6 and Charlie Kirk's own celebration of Paul Pelosi's attacker are enough to prove that.

Idea for an amicus brief: We list the powers in a chart let's say Louis XIV claimed for himself, and maybe the courts can just indicate with a checkmark which ones of those Trump doesn't have. Seems more efficient.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

I don’t get bearishness on AI. I mean, sure, it’s all total garbage slop now, but just wait… over time, more and ever more of the content that it’s stealing and shitting back out will itself be LLM garbage slop, and on and on, an endless inhuman centipede of knowledge. Who wouldn’t want that future?

I remain astounded by Trump's ability to do every crime in whatever fashion makes him look the most undoubtedly guilty. "Ah yeah time to write the sex trafficker a birthday card, better draw the silhouette of a nude child on it in case all the references to "our little secret" are too subtle."

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.
