DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

New in PN: Turns out Republicans don't care about free speech after all "Calling this 'hypocrisy' is too banal and oversimplified. To understand it in full, you have to be attuned to how power operates and how the right thinks about it."

Goodness the autotune on Sunday Night football is cringe

There’s a reason I asked Pam Bondi if she was capable of saying “no” to the president.

Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.

ICE denies using excessive force in Broadview, Illinois. Never mind the videos…

Trump mentioned that Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch are going to be part of the investment group that owns TikTok. Incredible own goal by the Democrats especially Biden for forcing a sale during the Trump presidency. If they thought China owning it was bad, wait until it's the youth wing of Fox News.

Good point.

The road to authoritarianism is paved with cynicism

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Authoritarianism is here

Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."

1. Moms For Liberty has stormed school boards to pass hateful anti-LGBTQ+ policies the last few years. In Davis, though, one chapter president, Beth Bourne, did something completely unexpected this week. She took off her clothing in front of the school board. Subscribe to support our journalism.

They are already showing us. They get to choose who the citizens are. If they can cancel @jimmykimmel.com @colbertlateshow.bsky.social Imagine people who aren’t well known/on TV they are already locking up Like this person. A US CITIZEN www.cambridgeday.com/2025/09/20/s...

NH is the fourth whitest state in the country We have a huge issue with a lack of labor force Especially in the construction areas Meanwhile, we have papers that don’t bother to do their due diligence and claim that the state will make millions when it won’t www.facebook.com/share/177yJK...

Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

This is it, essentially. The core of it. The goal of ICE detention in the mass deportation system is to make people give up their case without fighting; to have an officer say “if you want to see a judge and plead your case, you’re going to be jailed for months and months, so why not give up now?”

True to this meme, we are seeing America fall

I don’t know how ICE agents sleep at night, but this right here is absolutely heartless! They detained two parents and their 22-year-old son outside Chicago while the family was on their way to celebrate their 10-year-old’s birthday.

NYT:”Even for a president who has shattered the traditional norms of maintaining distance from the Justice Department, Mr. Trump’s unabashedly public and explicit orders to Ms. Bondi were an extraordinary breach of prosecutorial protocols that reach back to the days following the Watergate scandal.”

RFKjr is deliberately trying to cull Americans in large numbers. Scientific and rational thought can reach no other conclusion.

It's not a question of <if> or <when> at this point:

Tom Homan should be fired! Anyone who doesn’t think he’s still on the take hasn’t been paying attention to how he operates. 📌 Last year the FBI recorded Homan, now the border czar, taking $50,000 promising to help agents posing as business execs win government contracts in a second Trump term.

Uncle Xuetong gets the vibes right.

Republicans: “Political violence is the left’s fault!” Also Republicans: “January 6 was legitimate political discourse.” Pick a lane.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

He’s a moron

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Trump has difficultly pronouncing "Azerbaijan" while taking credit for ending a war between "Azerbaijan and Albania" (he meant Armenia)

@nytimes.com could actually come up with a legit headline/copy for once

NEW: Ted Cruz just asked Kash Patel about the "Antifa and LGBTQ engravings on the bullets." There were no antifa or LGBTQ engravings on the bullets.

Can someone say quid pro quo?

Smart move leaving out twitter where not a single nazi goes to hangout

If we’re going to have Chinese style autocracy in the US, I’d also like the renewable energy infrastructure, high speed rail, electric vehicles, investment in science, and good food.
