Which state has the highest per-capita rate of H1-B visas? It’s not California or Massachusetts. It’s Virginia. CC @abigailspanberger.com

Time to boycott Nexstar and Sinclair advertisers. The majority of their revenue comes from loca advertising - but there are some large national advertisers

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

It's 12:20 PM EST on September 22nd and Fox News has yet to address on-air the recent reports that their former contributor and current White House border czar Tom Homan accepted a bag of cash from undercover FBI agents as part of a corruption investigation.

Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people. conchoobserver.com/2025/09/19/a...

“In some ways, this bears a family resemblance to the Red scare of the 1950s," but "It’s not just a single ideology, and it’s not just one senator. It’s an across-the-board exercise of the whole of government to bully universities, law firms, the media, all of us into a kind of obedience.”

The Supreme Court, tears in their eyes, said, "Sir, you can do what you want until we hear this case on the merits and the damage is already done." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Nancy Pyne of the Sierra Club said the court ruling “reaffirms that Donald Trump and his administration’s attacks on clean energy are not only reckless and harmful to our communities, but they are also illegal.” apnews.com/article/trum...

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Most Christians don’t know or won’t admit that Jesus put his stamp of approval on Jephthah, an Old Testament figure who sacrificed his own daughter to thank Jehovah for success in war. (Hebrews 11:32) Yes, the Bible endorses human sacrifice!

Shaun King backing up Tucker Carlson that Jews killed Jesus. It is important to state this bluntly (I should actually write a piece about it): Antisemitism is close to getting mainstream. One thing preventing it on the right is Trump's support of Israel, but Carlson and others are pushing it.

Oh, so you are saying that a company founded by a billionaire Trump supporter -- whose son is rapidly buying up many of the nation's other linchpin journalism and mass media companies -- will be ensuring the "security" of TikTok? Never mind then!

The tariffs are the least popular thing Trump is doing. It's a unilateral trillion-dollar tax hike on Americans that raises prices on items they buy every day.

We can’t begin to make a dent in our carbon footprint if we don’t know which of our actions are having the most impact. Unfortunately, according to a study published in @pnas.org, a lot of people are massively misjudging the climate impacts of their actions.

I’m glad Jimmy’s back. But Brendan Carr still needs to resign. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

This is the stupidest press conference I have ever seen. Robert Kennedy, Jr. is corrupt and criminally stupid. Folate deficiency relation to neurological disorders wasn't recently discovered. We have know that for years and that is why we add folic acid to grain crops.

"Project Elevate Boulder gave $500 monthly payments to each participant starting in 2023… The final report states that as a result of the project, participants said they can more easily pay for basic needs, were able to receive more education or training, and have stronger mental + physical health."

Pushback works

Glad I didn’t have to cancel #Hulu before the season finale of Alien: Earth … but I will do that if they mess with Kimmel again! www.mediaite.com/media/entert...

There’s still no evidence that Lance Twiggs is transgender or even in a romantic relationship with Tyler Robinson. Speaking of which, where is Lance’s attorney? He also needs an attorney.

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return on Tuesday night following a brief suspension. "Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country..."

Lyndon B. Johnson's response to satire

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

I went to the Kurt Vonnegut museum and learned that Vonnegut did an ad campaign with Absolut vodka in the 1990s lol

Plane tree seed balls.

Kash Patel is name-checking every Charlie Kirk assassination conspiracy theory. Partly because he's terminally online and pilled, but probably also because the administration needs a sweeping conspiracy to justify reprisals against unconnected liberals.

Reclaiming a toxic river. Beautiful! Joyous. We can have nice things. If we work at it. “There are now river otters behind the Lyric Opera,” said Margaret Frisbie, executive director of Friends of the Chicago River. “We’ve seen beavers, muskrats, turtles. There’s wildlife everywhere.”

Killing the First Amendment is the goal of the current administration! #Resist

Please support the local grower and farmer in your neighborhood. Where you spend your money matters a great deal; Target and now Disney are finding that out. We have tremendous economic power as a group. In the meantime, here are some flowers for Sunday. Btw, Epstein files! #flowers #farmlife #local

Thank you for coming to my Teddy talk.

NORTHEAST PUBLIC HEALTH COLLABORATIVE in response to CDC troubles, has grown in number! Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island & Vermont announced the collaboration in a press release Thursday after months of unofficial discussions.

The term Antifa is a shortening of antifascism. It's NOT a formal organization. It's a belief. A really good one. The stupidity of trying to declare it a "terrorist organization" is just ludicrous. It would be like doing the same thing with the word democracy. What the hell is so hard about this?!
