If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

It's kind of amazing how the worst consequence many of our most powerful people can conceive of is someone being mad at them online, to the degree that they are driven to distraction about it even in the abstract.

Gallego getting Bessent to just say that taxpayers will pay Trump $10 billion if he wins is why most Trump officials who testify just berate the senators instead.

Early in his career, William Randolph Hearst famously joked that if his papers kept losing $1 million a year, he'd lose all his money in 60 years. If the Post continues to lose $100 million a year, it will take Jeff Bezos 2000 years to lose his money.

We’re going to win

Let me explain the math behind why the destruction of the Washington Post isn't about money. The paper is now losing $100 million a year. Jeff Bezos is worth $253 billion. This means he could self-fund the Washington Post for THE NEXT 2,000 YEARS and still have $53 billion LEFT OVER.

One way for the media to win back the respect of viewers would be for them to show us that they have some self-respect of their own. When you let the president denigrate and humiliate your colleagues without saying a word, you're not really giving off a "holding the powerful to account" vibe

“We want to do Nazi stuff but women gonna nag us about it, lol,” thinks subhuman Elon Musk

This Claremont twit is so fearful of “wine moms” with cell phones and whistles that he’s demanding Trump crush them with violence. Or rather, more violence.

To be clear: I think the regime's plan to steal the election is doomed to fail. I don't think they're going to pull it off. We can win by voting in huge numbers and mass civil resistance against their crimes. But, we're much more likely to succeed if we are prepared for their attempt.

Jesse is a great writer who already has a free newsletter you can subscribe to: collegesportsmoney.substack.com

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

the owner just spent 75 million on a film that opened with a 7 million take

Guy who doesn’t understand how money works: What if we cut the sports page?

A brief, recent history of the Washington Post: 1- Trump wins in 2024. 2- Bezos and minions make series of Trump-friendly changes to paper. 3-Readership tanks. 4- Bezos and minions fire tons of employees while telling them the audience just doesn't like what they're doing.

MacKenzie Scott should publicly offer to buy Washington Post

After paying $40M for the Melania movie, Bezos is firing hundreds of Washington Post reporters who tell us actual facts. All while turning the editorial board into a billionaire-defense operation. Too often, the billionaires who control our biggest media outlets are selling out our country.

The Washington Post has won the Sigma Delta Chi award for Sports Column Writing *five times* since 2001. It's a world leader in properly contextualizing the importance of sports & the role it plays in our culture. Saying its sports coverage "is not essential" is mind blowing

Mackenzie Bezos has the opportunity to do the funniest thing (To be clear, this is not her responsibility and she's had the most positive impact on the world of any current billionaire)

the guy who financed a propaganda film about the nazi first lady is killing a newspaper that writes unfavorably about her and her husband. this is how the club works.

An independently owned Washington Post would be BOOMING with shitshow coverage during this administration, instead the choice was made to become a sideshow to it.

there's something better past all this, pic is related

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

turns out when Bezos suggested "democracy dies in darkness" it was a goal, not a slogan

All 83,000 acres of an Alabama National Forest. I did not want to share this week’s USDA press release as there’s no comment or objection period, and I don’t want things to seem hopeless. So I’ll note the comment and objection period is the midterms. These are your lands. These are the stakes.

continue to think that if instead of "raw milk" we called it "doodoo milk" people would understand the risk proposition

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

This indifference or enthusiasm for sexual violence is a cultural pathology born of misogyny, not a peculiar or unique degeneracy of the rich. You know people who have responded to rape like that.

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

we say this guy chases polls or the Baileys or whatever, but the reality is that he’s just misaligned with Democrats. the polling is clear that this is not what Democrats want. Chuck is an ideological, pro-cop centrist. He’s saying this because it’s his policy preference. It’s what he wants.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

So, we get Lupita Nyong’o as Helen, the white supremacists get to get see the Melania movie. Seems like a fair trade to me. :)

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

Ah, I understand the racists are upset that one of the most beautiful women in the world was cast in a film as one of the most beautiful women in the world

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Simmons had to be tasered by cops for them to arrest him. Despite being extremely violent at the scene, they somehow figured out a way to take him in alive.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton writing "pls print" 35 times in emails on a private server or Donald Trump being mentioned 38,000 times in the emails of a notorious sex trafficker, both candidates had a fraught relationship with electronic communication.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Kendrick has won nine and counting Grammys since Drake said "Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy"

This conversation stayed with me.

People say we can't compare this to the Third Reich because of the atrocities but we only found out about the atrocities after the fact when it was all said and done and we're not done with this yet so I am sure the worst stomach churning shit has yet to be revealed.

In 2010, Dems candidates distanced themselves from Obama to try to avoid thermostatic backlash and punishment for the ACA. This was seen as smart strategy at the time. The GOP in 2026 has decided to go 100% in on the most unpopular policies, figures, and ideas in politics. MN gonna be D+15 in Nov

The thing here is two things could be true, he’s embarrassed that nobody will play there and also he doesn’t want his name on a building that doesn’t look like a Slavic bordello.

A few broader thoughts: 1) This election happened, period. 2) It happened in Texas, no less. 3) It happened even though Trump himself took an intense interest in winning it. If Trump could cancel elections or ordain their outcomes, then why didn't he do that tonight?
