Every single person described in this story and who is a source for this story is morally reprehensible. Devastating that any Americans watch this reality show with admiration instead of abject horror. nymag.com/intelligence...

Your tax dollars at work: “In response to a list of questions about Noem, DHS said, ‘This NYMag hit piece reads like a preteen rage-scrolling, then prompting ChatGPT for a screed on misogyny — complete with zero substance and maximum bullshit.’”

All the feels - none of the research

Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the department last week sent letters to the Democratic attorneys general of California, New York and Illinois, asking them to help the ICE detain criminal illegal immigrants reut.rs/3Icko09

Donald Trump is bleeding support from Hispanic voters, including from some who voted for him. So, we found some former Trump voters who are souring on him, and asked them why.

With an 0-3 start, it seems inevitable. The risk of course is putting Dart out front before he’s ready - potentially suffering the same fate as Daniel Jones in NY.

In 2020, while reporting on a protest for a local newspaper I was wrongfully arrested by officers who were masked or concealed their names/badge numbers. I had photos of two of their faces and sued, but the department refused to provide information to identify them, and the lawsuit was dismissed

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

I don’t hate it.

One of the main reasons Russia invested in Trump: corrupt America, and America can bo longer occupy the moral high ground. Russia becomes the world-power peer to the USA that they’ve been longing for since the fall of the Soviet Union.

The depth and breadth of corruption described in this piece is astounding - "The thing is, corruption actually is a matter of faith — it corrodes what little of it the public has in our government." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

This is why Republicans are going home instead of even bothering to schedule a vote, because Schumer's history and his signals both make it abundantly clear that he's going to cave as soon as possible. Stop doing this! Have you never negotiated anything in your life?

Republicans have the house, senate, and presidency, yet many in maga are still convinced they are the victims. You’re only a victim of being mislead to believe Trump cares about anything but himself

Bro lol Disney and Hulu are DESPERATE desperate. New offer of $2.99 a month to try and get you not to cancel. It’s working.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

In 2011 a Black Milwaukee County Supervisor was set up and charged with bribery and misconduct in office. He was acquitted, but not before his career was destroyed. The amount at issue was $500.

Democrats need to seriously consider an impeachment inquiry into now-Judge Emil Bove if/when they take back the House. He led the brazenly corrupt Eric Adams quid pro quo. He facilitated the Tom Homan bribery cover-up. And there’s probably more! He was Trump’s hatchet man at DOJ for months!

Every day there are like 3 new things that happen that 25 years ago would have instantly disqualified someone from public office.

a few thoughts (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court. He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...

this thread is a nice reminder that hanania is an extremely poor thinker who benefits from the fact that many commentators are innumerate and can be easily misled with simple data manipulation

BREAKING: Trump administration considers raising retirement age to save Social Security from insolvency, per FOX

Kimmel was suspended for offending the president, after coordination between the FCC commissioner and a huge media company. This thread underscores an important, overlooked part of all this: To get his job back, he's been told he must make a contribution to a Christian nationalist organization.

Police aren’t suited for wellness checks unless specifically trained - “Within two minutes of arriving… the officers each tased Rozario and together fired their guns five times. [Rozario] had grabbed a pair of scissors multiple times during the encounter, while his mom got them away from him twice.”

Why do liberals keep printing the Charlie Kirk quote "Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled Alzheimer's, corrupt, tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America" without putting it in context?

“Freedom is often lost under mountains of paperwork and crippling fines rather than in a cinematic showdown with a dictator.”

“Now give daddy his phone back…”

Had to double check if this was real. It is.

Lol. This is "I support the 1st Amendment for speech I agree with" which means "I do not support the 1st Amendment or free speech."

“If the First Amendment means anything, it means that federal bureaucrats may not punish private companies for giving a forum to politically disfavored speakers…. Carr’s threat was not subtle.” [Jacob Sullum]

Good.

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

/20 In closing, this is the result that the Right, the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, and their crew have successfully fought for: a system where the federal government can deliberately violate your rights and there is no effective remedy - meaning you don’t really have the right.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr—who in 2019 said, “Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not,” he said in 2019—is now using The Office GIFs to celebrate taking away Jimmy Kimmel’s freedom of speech. trib.al/o3JusiW

“Put simply, Holmes was saying that political speech can only be banned as incitement if a court determines that the speech is very likely to cause illegal action (so that the danger is clear) and that the action is likely to occur immediately (so that the danger is present).”

“I understand this… story: Trump, Vance, and their propaganda networks do not operate in good faith. They are authoritarians and do not see themselves as bound by society’s rules because their aim is to break society and then dominate it, indefinitely.” www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

“When she finally met with Kennedy on August 25, he demanded she pre-approve the vaccine advisory panel's forthcoming recommendations and that she should resign if she was not willing to. ‘He just wanted blanket approval,’ she testified.”

Boomer has a point: “The fact that he’s sitting in the Raiders’ coaches’ box with a headset on and talking to Pete Carroll, talking to (Jon) Spytek, their general manager, talking to their offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, is complete and utter B.S.,” Esiason said Tuesday on Boomer & Gio.

They know they're going to get trounced in a straight-up contest - so switch tactics, and work extra hard to limit participation. Take voting rule changes and redistricting out of the hands of legislatures - because of this crap.

I think the broader public doesn't understand that the military can't simply use lethal force whenever it wants. authorization is meant to flow down from the top and has to meet certain legal standards
