“Behind closed doors” being the most important words. fortune.com/2025/09/21/b...

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

This is… on point!

I want the best for Belania, but I agree that the talking back is sooo….annoying. #ProjectRunway

Now this is peak projection. Utterly unhinged.

Do Law and Tyra have historical beef?….. #ProjectRunway

It’s funny cause I’m not feeling Antonio’s dress. Looks like “she’s on the main stage at the Golden Nugget.” #ProjectRunway

Vijay has literally become a chaos agent. It might be…..fun. #ProjectRunway

No bottom.

Cuts out the middle man too (Simon of Cyrene). These people are so without a modicum of appropriateness.

Please spread the word of this election. TN 07!! @whatdemsaredoing.bsky.social @ptcontagion.bsky.social @swingbluealliance.org @gotmtv.bsky.social @muellershewrote.com @indivisibletn.bsky.social @50501tennessee.bsky.social @sifill.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

Worse, I’m betting that none of this will be the focus of Sunday morning’s news programming. I’m betting that Kirk & Buckingham Palace, with a side of Jimmy Kimmel will dominate the shows.

This.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

This is unconscionable @nytimes.com. An abdication of journalistic responsibility and judgment.

NEW: Jack Smith: "The Department of Justice Was My Home...That Home is Now On Fire." open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

I’d never seen this one.

What he is saying quite clearly is that Pam Bondi must indict several of his long-time political enemies immediately or she will be fired and replaced by someone who will.

Tech companies are scrambling to contact their visa-holding employees who happen to be overseas today amid Trump’s sudden policy change. That may mean getting them to the closest US soil, like Guam or Hawaii, or to a place like Abu Dhabi that has an immigration facility. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Tatiana Maslany posted an image on Instagram “with text overlaid that says “cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!” Marisa Tomei, who played Aunt May in Spider-Man movies distributed by Sony & Avengers movies from Disney, reposted a call to “unsubscribe and boycott” Disney platforms.”

lol. Emil Bove intervened. The guy that Senate Republicans just confirmed for a lifetime position on the federal bench. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

So embarrassing.

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

This.

Keep the pressure ON!

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

No, we do not. We have to actually stand for something. And communicate it effectively. Then go out and persuade non-voters to vote and to vote for the things we stand for.

The vote in the House on the Kirk resolution. www.govtrack.us/congress/vot...

The idea that if you make Dems a little more Republican, Republicans will vote Dem is what’s breaking us. And it doesn’t even work!

That's literally false. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that praising someone's death is protected speech, including in Snyder v Phelps (2011), where protesters at a soldier's funeral held signs that said "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" & "Thank God for 9/11" rollcall.com/2025/09/19/s...

Federal agents did this in front of the news cameras and helicopters. They did this in front of elected officials and political hopefuls. They did this in a tucked-off industrial park in Broadview, an otherwise quiet suburb just 12 miles west of Chicago. thetriibe.com/2025/09/and-...

Pedro Pascal is a load bearing part of multiple franchises, so Bob Iger better get his act together before his choices manage to torpedo Marvel and Star Wars plans

Alarming.

He got dunked on by Swallwell. He did not hold the line - he was all over the place. He did not rise above it all - he shouted, whined, came unglued. Not sure what the last one says about partisan statements. But overall - goals not met.

RDI Chairman @garrykasparov.bsky.social: "Last night, apropos of nothing at all, I was thinking about how in Russia, you can’t go on television and make fun of the president or his favorites."

A cyberattack hit airport systems in Berlin, London, Brussels, and several other cities. Berlin: access to systems was completely shut down for “security reasons” Heathrow: “technical failure” Specialists are working to restore operations.

Thread.

by the way, 15 hours ago, someone form Indivisible posted a reel in response to concerns like mine stating outright that you don't need to RSVP to any protest to attend the protest. Which is all I was saying. I appreciate that they recognized concerns and addressed them.

NEW: U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert resigns after Trump threatened his removal for refusing to prosecute New York Attorney General Letitia James on trumped-up mortgage fraud charges. Harry Litman joins to discuss.

Why resign? Let him fire you.

JUSTICE SERVED: Virginia US Attorney has told officials that his investigators found insufficient evidence to bring charges against NY Attorney General James, who pursued a case against Trump. So Trump admin now indicated it plans to fire its own appointee. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

“.. Those who refuse to sign the new policy will be stripped of or denied permanent credentials to cover the Pentagon.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

Millions of borrowers are at risk of default and financial ruin because Trump & McMahon are dragging their feet processing the student loan forgiveness they're owed. This is unacceptable, and that's why we're taking them to court. www.npr.org/2025/09/19/n...

So, that's not how journalism in a free society works...and, my bet is, that's not how it is going to work despite the ham-fisted authoritarian efforts of Trump, Hegseth & Co..

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target
