This ought to be a huge story everywhere. It is imperative that we not normalize sending troops into blue cities on false pretenses. The consequences could be tragic. Journalists must rebut the lies and quote the outraged at the top of their articles and segments. www.cnn.com/2025/09/27/p...

Two years later, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are canceled‼️ It’s part of the pattern we’ve seen before; discredit the critics, control the media, and chip away at dissent until only obedience is left‼️Stewart’s words were a warning and it’s happening now‼️

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Jon is a Marine Corps veteran who served at Camp Pendleton. Here’s what he thinks of Pete Hegseth’s threats to deploy Marines in Los Angeles.

Happening now: in Chicago, activists are holding a rally in Pilsen this afternoon in opposition to CPD's collaboration with ICE earlier this week at an immigration check-in site.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

What the "ICE queen" has done. #TheShadeRepMegazinerThrew !! 1/2

The Palestinian ambassador to the UN broke down as he talked about the number of Palestinian children murdered since March. And while he was talking about dead Palestinian children the camera panned to the Israeli ambassador, who was yawning.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

So if I am getting this right: Thursday the librarian of Congress was fired. Friday the copyright office rushed out a draft report suggesting genAI training on copyrighted works shouldn’t be legal. Saturday the head of the copyright office is fired.

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

Great piece on NPR with this amazing educator

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Trump’s tariff equation is nonsense, says @johnauthers.bsky.social. Here’s why 🎥

The US Constitution gives Congress the sole power to impose tariffs. Trump is using the National Emergencies Act (and the IEEPA) to bypass Congress to levy tariffs. All Congress has to do is pass a bill denying this explicit emergency power to levy tariffs to Trump and all of this goes away.

We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I’m thinking Dad goes back for the gun, but Gaitok puts it to use against Russian mobsters, and Dad commits suicide by security guard. Any play with the blender has to be made by little bro. I agree that some poison will be spilled. #thewhitelotus

Here's the last 40 seconds of Bulls/Lakers. Insane ending.

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.

The project entails drilling up to 800 feet into the ground at 260 sites across 7,200 acres in Malheur County, near the Oregon-Nevada border, all in search of lithium. The McDermitt Caldera is located here, & it’s thought to be the largest lithium deposit in the country.

Kudos to Jeffrey Goldberg from the Atlantic for reporting on this signal exchange rather than waiting to write a book about it.
