If Democrats don't make this the biggest story in the country for the next several days - and either force Republicans to denounce it or not, what are we even doing here? Every voter should know about this. (Imagine what would happen if, say, Mother Jones wrote this.) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

Feel like if this is how the law works, there’s no reason to make a budget deal because there’s no reason to believe anything that you win via Congress will actually happen anyway.

NEW: Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon are all named in Epstein docs released today by Democrats

What the fuck?

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

Why dont we challenge R’s to win Delaware when they lose

🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.

The point of funding deals is to secure money that helps people. If the administration plans to just illegally ignore any deal you make with them, what’s the point of making a deal? Don’t take it from me, take it from,,,,, Steve Womack, a senior GOP appropriator.

oh my god complete vindication. he banned me over facts!

We are so humiliatingly deep into tinpot dictatorship territory. The government has just brokered the coerced sale of a major media platform to an ally of the president, who is openly boasting about converting it into (even more of) a partisan propaganda outlet.

Kimmel’s writing staff doesn’t seem cowed by the events of the past week. @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social

Elon Musk went to Pedophile Island www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Imagine a politician giving a speech down the street from an ICE processing center, telling protesters to "fight like hell," and those protesters then breaking into the center and smashing stuff. Clearly that wouldn't be his fault.

Israel won the battle and lost the war

Shout out to @liamberan.bsky.social for actually including the roll call vote when covering a local issue. It's critical information and is rarely included in news coverage. isthmus.com/news/news/sh...

2/ I stayed by Monica Moreta-Galarza, who was seeking asylum with her family, until she was discharged from the hospital. “Over [in Ecuador], they beat us there too. I didn’t think I’d come here to the United States and the same thing would happen to me,” she said in Spanish.

Love the precedent set here, which will enable us to use the thinnest possible pretext—and no written or oral evidence—to prosecute every single government official, billionaire, and business executive who ever testified in front of Congress. See ya soon, Elon!

Trump’s goal is to cast as wide a net as possible to vilify his critics and political foes. If Kamala Harris is a radical leftist, then just about every Democrat is a radical leftist—and a prime target for their new Red Scare.

I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data… —Top Public Worry: Corruption —Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption —Top fear: Corruption —What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt” It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

Maybe just more Hegseth idiocy, but if this were happening in another country where an authoritarian leader was trying to consolidate power, we'd be very nervous

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

When the Democratic Party comes back to federal power - and I fear this could take quite a while - they will face a true "deep state" that is deeply hostile to its power and liberal democracy. Democrats will have to not just fire many people but also abolish whole institutions to protect both.

everyone on this flotilla has more courage in their pinky than the entire American ruling class www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

not up to me but if i were her i would give serious thought to when the next window will be with zero other credible progressive presidential candidates + a militarized going-out-of-business-Kmart of a county that will be open to something new/in need of serious structural policy change?

Again Bouie from the top rope

when your party tries to muscle a charismatic normie lib run by Lis Smith out of a Senate race in favor of a dead-eyed parody of a Michigan focus group your party has lost its damn mind

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

👀 the WSJ describing Trump finding out about its story about the Epstein birthday book and telling aides "he would try to kill the story himself." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

This is great from @joshtpm.bsky.social. I wonder if one can make the (hopeful) case that "salami-slice" authoritarianism is incompatible with MAGA's Own The Libs incentive structure Even when counterproductive, Trump NEEDS his fingerprints on things to demonstrate strength & satiate the OTL crowd.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

This kind of thinking is so primitive. People’s problems with Klein isn’t remotely about where he falls on a right-left arrow or on the political compass or whatever. Bill Kristol is legitimately still to the right of people like Klein who get bashed for being sellouts, but Kristol has principles

"Trump's Argentina bailout" just start saying that over and over again. Something goes wrong in the economy? What did you expect? Trump spent all our money bailing out Argentina

"remember that loopy chainsaw guy? Trump gave him 30 billion dollars of printed money, I guess to buy more chainsaws"

The censorship campaign is still working as intended—we just haven’t realized it yet. slate.trib.al/x66w5re

Ah yes, my deep disillusionment with progress on living forever has led me to inject bleach into my brain in order to live forever Gotta do something!

the policy landscape of education is bleak dude. GOP want to burn public education to the ground and put kids in megachurch clickfarms or homeschool them so dems are sort of the only game in town if you actually give a shit about schools, and the lib education establishment is plenty flawed

Imagine turning a detached home into a 6-story micro tower. I know so many friend groups who dreamed of living this way over the years. With zoning changes, design accommodations and single staircase rules, they could have it.

Can’t wait to break Sinclair up. Corporate media consolidation doesn’t jibe with democracy. And although Sinclair isn’t a fan of democracy, most people are.

for all the flapping about Uncommitted during the primary it has always been the Blue Dog centrist types who are most disloyal to the party

WAS THAT SO HARD??

Surprise!

Sinclair will continue to pre-empt ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! with news broadcasts on its 30 affiliate stations, the television operator said Monday.

Watching a panel on "urbanism as climate action." This is a huge, burgeoning field/idea/movement, but the desiccated boomer counsels who decide where climate funding goes are *clueless* about it and so it has to seek funding elsewhere.

There are more shadowy, less showy ways to censor, where folks miss what’s happening. But the need to Own The Libs *compels* these fuckwads to be maximally aggressive and obvious. They love to wave the red flag to rile up the libs. But sometimes you wave it and…

In Madison, WI - it’s Fox47. Advertising as of this evening: GSK Kohl’s (!) CarGurus Tide Starbucks Amazon Hyvee (!) Bob’s Discount Furniture (!) Pepsi Habush Habush and Rottier (!) More local ones (!) = bigger impact of your calls/messages

I mean, we are living in two different realities now, and this really hasn't always been the case.

All these Trump Administration thugs should be in prison.
