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...

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

Can't emphasize enough the fact that there isn't data to support this. IF ANYTHING, abortion rights were a key crossover issue for Democrats in 2024 — they still lost, but that isn't why.

No Laughable www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I literally wrote a book on this and I see zero evidence that democrats’ support of abortion rights cost them few if any voters — and probably helped them. democrats are searching the “social” causes for reasons they lose but the reality is they fail to have an economic message that resonates.

Every history teacher I've ever had is "antifa." the vast majority of people I know are "antifa." If you aren't "antifa" you are the "fa."

ROVE: “.. Using Charlie’s murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous. It will further divide and embitter our country. No good thing will come of it.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/they...

"Antifa" isn't a group — it's literally anyone who identifies at opposing fascism. How will this work exactly? I think we are about to find out. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

It's always interesting to me what breaks through; Kimmel is breaking through — and there is an awareness of the below-the-surface dynamics at play here.

A divided federal appeals court ruled Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook can keep her job. The Trump administration was expected to quickly appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.

JD Vance wants to go after the Ford Foundation, eh? Interestingly, the Ford Foundation has long been in the crosshairs of the American far right for their supposed funding of "hateful, radical left, anti-white propaganda." Here's an example of that talk from the 1955 edition of The White Sentinel.

One of the best I’ve ever had — and isn’t even their high end. I ❤️ West Virginia.

Just went to see if they’d addressed the egregiously irresponsible publication of unverified information targeting an already vulnerable group of people after listening to the very nuanced responsible @npr.org politics report — quite the contrast.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters. Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence. These docs show she did not. www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

This article gives the impression that local authorities and the FBI have essentially no leads at all in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. I'm curious how much of this has to do with the post-purge state of the FBI and its previous focus on domestic extremist activity. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...
