After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects Russ Vought would love nothing more than to tear this country down to its studs

Mornin, @thehill.com

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

CEOs worry Trump's psychopathic behavior is putting a damper on their own psychopathic behavior. #Satire fortune.com/2025/09/21/b...

New York Times: "Trump Administration Wields Its Full Toolbox to Bring Media to Heel." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/b... AP: “Trump’s moves against the media mirror approaches by authoritarian leaders to silence dissent.” apnews.com/article/trum...

The TV Critics Association has released a strong statement criticizing Disney/ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live, calling it “ a wanton disregard of the First Amendment’s guarantee…”

Imagine we're all stuck in an elevator together. It's only moving in one direction — downward. Every time the doors open, we're at some new, lower level. No one knows how to reverse course. No one knows what awaits us at the very bottom. The US media is on that ride right now...

Judge Merryday (HWBush appointee) on Trump's latest lawsuit vs the NYT: "As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective — not a protected platform to rage against an adversary. A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations."

Gutfeld: "You have to look at this like mutually assured destruction"

This is a fascist government crackdown on media that aren’t Trump-compliant. This is what dictators do.

That’s what’s so cool about the First Amendment. You can suspend it whenever someone says something you don’t like!

It's wild that even a conservative dude like Jon Karl gets this sort of treatment from Trump

The gaslighting on the signature is maybe their most embarrassing thing yet. Just an absolute disregard for the truth, or dignity. @reptimburchett

Don't blame the oligarchy for everything. Do the WORK of convincing voters. Buy yourself a television network, or maybe a major newspaper. Maybe set some editorial standards opposed to the hierarchy, fire some reporters. Spend $$ to support some academics. #Satire

F VDARE!

So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?

So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap

OH GREAT NOW THE SWAMP IS WOKE www.iflscience.com/deep-in-virg...

I had to check to see this is real; yes it is

Trump yesterday: “A lot of people are saying maybe we need a dictator. … I’m not a dictator.” ⬇ Trump today: “The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, ‘You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.’”

It’s funny, we never get those anguished “but how will I explain this to my child?” posts when it’s armed goons violently snatching people off the street. They save that for the real horrors, like someone having two dads.

NEW: McCarthyism returns to immigration law, as @USCIS announces that it will begin screening applicants for immigration benefits for "Anti-America ideologies or activities." The term has no prior precedent in immigration law and its definition is entirely up to the Trump admin.

Outside Dupont north metro

As DC was taken over by Trump’s secret police, where were congressional Democrats? They weren’t in DC and some weren’t even in the US. Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.

Had a really stupid idea based on another meme I just made and so i had to make this, i am sorry

Oh shit. Who's getting fired now?

What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.

The good guys assassinate reporters, right?

Bernie Sanders on another presidential run: "I'm going to be 84 next month. I think that speaks for itself."

Can’t say why exactly, but the phrase “once again refused a pierogi” made me laugh out loud.
