"I'd like tto see people do what Charlie Kirk did. But not what Charlie Kirk *actually* did, rather what I choose to believe he did"

Exactly, the Dems' "condescension problem" is almost entirely a creation of right-wing media.

It sort of concerns me that Brooke Rollins is explaining to Todd Bessent that Argentina pantsed us and gave China more leverage after he bailed out Javier Milei as if she thinks he's not aware.

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Says CSIS, "the sudden decline in right-wing terrorism is both more striking and harder to explain" but actually it's not; right-wing kidnappings and attacks on civilian transports have increased dramatically but aren't categorized as "terrorism" because they now occur under the aegis of the state.

It's funny. Earlier David Roberts told Eric Levitz — correctly, IMO — that Dem moderation and triangulation means little in an information environment where the party's candidates lack much ability to get their messages to voters. Then Dave Weigel posted this perfect illustration of the point.

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

As others have suggested, let's start calling these "Kavanaugh stops" and "Kavanaugh detentions"

that's so weird, john roberts assured me the immunity decision meant this would not happen??

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

just a *central casting* MAGA chud, even used a giant flag-bedecked pickup truck as part of the attack www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

so when do we get our huge national news cycle about how MAGA needs to turn down the rhetoric because of political violence? we’re waiting

If Dems take the House next year they could literally impeach Trump every day for 2 years and come up with a new slam dunk charge every day

“.. the lasting memory of this Ryder Cup threatened not to be a single swing of the club so much as the ugly backdrop: galleries that drifted from partisan into venomous ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

"China’s move to stop buying US soybeans underscores how Trump’s ambitions to use tariffs as a lever with Beijing have repeatedly backfired... "Agriculture exports to China were down 53% in the first 7 months of 2025, compared with the same period last year" www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

24 hours after Kash Patel releases a statement to “clarify” that the agents went there AFTER the riot was well underway, & Fox reported Trump’s claim was false, Johnson continues to intentionally lie about it on national TV. Maybe he should pray about why he lies constantly. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Hakeem Jeffries still refuses to endorse the Democratic Nominee for NYC mayor but has plenty of praise for Eric Adams who, left the party, openly supports Trump, & cut a deal with Trump to disappear the DOJ’s bribery & corruption charges against him. Can’t imagine why the Dem Party has 26% approval🤔

pro tip for any candidate considering running: if this happens, just make the plunge! announce! don't dither! don't wait! just fucking announce! meet the moment! look at Andy Kim's quick decision to announce his challenge of Bob Menendez as an example!

Some journalist should ask Zeldin or Wright why exactly they think China is doing this.

If any media outlet in South Dakota would like to be respectful of our history by putting their confidence and trust in an actual historian, there are lots of great scholars who will explain why Whiskey Pete’s version of events is utter bullshit

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

Book Cover of the Day:

Kennedy timed his retirement to make sure Trump got an extra pick on the court. It is not "partisanship" that is threatening American democracy. It is people who do not believe in democracy.

It's weird - but now in Oslo, there's so many EVs that you notice the noise and the smell from individual ICE cars, and you realise how much we've been normalising it for ever. You can smell them half a street away. And inside parking lots are just *quiet*.

Simple thing the next Democratic President can do here is personally jackhammer this shit up.

A moral society would make guys like this absolute pariahs, basically excommunicated from all sources of social belonging and support. There's no excusing beliefs like this. They're products of an entirely malformed being.

hey that’s pretty goddamn antisemitic

# of paragraphs for news orgs to mention there's no discernable need to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon The Guardian: 1st paragraph BBC: 4th paragraph AP: 5th paragraph Time: 6th paragraph Politico: 8th paragraph NPR: 9th paragraph CNN: 10th paragraph NBC: 12th paragraph Fox News: never mentions

Lol.

Would be nice to send this article to all the generals and admirals gathering at Quantico next week to hear from Pete Hegseth….

So top Portland cops wrote & *testified* that fed agents have been "instigating and causing" conflict. They said agents were firing pepper balls unprovoked and "without any apparent warning" When a Portland chief called a federal agent w/ Qs, the agent hung up. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

AD&D Adventures in Arcane Space continues shortly over at Twitch! www.twitch.tv/aulddragon/

And Congress (captured by the far right authoritarian party) continues to do nothing while a runaway SCOTUS (also captured by the far right authoritarian party) does nothing in the face of this brazen, unprecedented theft of its constitutional powers. <all together now>

It's ironic that when Dems have complete power their goal is to help as many people as they can, and when MAGA has complete power their goal is to basically destroy America as we know it. It's depressing that given the obvious choice the voters chose the latter.

It's Hillsfar time! WOOO! www.twitch.tv/kikoskia

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.
