There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

I live in #Tennessee but I received a #Bluesky ban notice on my iPhone for #Mississippi. I can’t access from either my iPhone or iPad. This feels like a First Amendment violation! WTH is going on!

Fatality.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.

Excellent question.

Learn to decipher the codespeak.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

Too much? 🤷🏼‍♂️

GRAND JURY NULLIFICATION! Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

Yes. Yes, it does.

Cost of 2020 disseminating election lies: 📌Newsmax ordered to pay Dominion: $67M. 📌Newsmax paid Smartmatic: $40M. 📌Fox News paid Dominion: $787M All 64 nationwide court cases LOST due to lack of evidence. 📌No fraud: In general 📌No fraud: Mail-in ballots 📌No fraud: Undocumented immigrants voting

Amanda Seales: Policing as it exists in the United States came from slave catching. Even the tradition of policing comes from protecting property, not protecting people.

WATCH: John Oliver clowns @reptimburchett 🤡 for claiming he sleeps in his office out of fear when he told @notusreports it’s to be more productive. Again: we’re told he slept in his office as a state legislator in NASHVILLE also. Tim’s lying. (Again) (H/T @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

Oh my God

This kid is all of us.

Democratic Governors, you have to play hardball. Red states can't function without your economies. They clearly want to F around. It's find out time.

ICE got their unmarked vehicle towed while two masked men pinned a woman face down on the ground. She later needed medical attention.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."

ALABAMA: “The verdict is in. The state’s tough immigration law just isn’t working out… American workers not mentally or physically fit enough to last one day…”

🤣🤣

Operation “Get him to stroke out” is in full swing.

God bless Zohran Mamdani. Nothing scares the right more than a leader who stands for actual democracy.

Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.

Jordy: We’re seeing who the players are and who the pretenders are. Newsom’s showing what this country needs — not lip service, but urgency before 2026, 2028, and beyond. Gone are the days of “when they go low, we go high.” When they go low, you take them out by their knees — metaphorically.

Just when I thought I couldn't loathe Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) any more, I watch HBO's "Surviving Ohio State" and realize I was wrong. What a despicable person, laughing off the molestation of young men in his care.

Yes. Yes, you are.

ANCHORAGE…

There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.

The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.

👇🏻

He spends $200 MILLION of your💰on a ballroom and his family doesn’t deny making billions off his presidency. As you cheer for him caging brown ice cream men & kids, he invades DC to cover a child sex trafficking ring and trashes the constitution to cling to power. He laughs.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
