CUBAN ON KIMMEL: “Nexstar & Sinclair don’t know they’re digging their own grave.” @mcuban.bsky.social tells us caving to government censorship means what airs on broadcast TV will suffer, hurting them in ways they don’t yet realize. Full interview: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMNvqR4u/

NEWS: Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by a grand jury, just days after Trump demanded the DOJ prosecute him “now” and fired the prosecutor who refused to bring the case

Ben-Ghiat: If we look at Brazil’s history, there’s a good reason why they took a different path from the US. They had a military coup in 1964 that led to over 20 years of horrible dictatorship. The political class in charge now were alive during that period.

I called my Mom to see how she is doing. She broke her arm but was out again this morning with the Grandmothers Against Genocide vigil. She said, "Do you know someone named Timothy Snyder?" Wow Mom. He is the expert on fascism. She said he took a picture of her sign. My Mom rocks.

OUR BATHROOM MIRRORS ARE VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

Dems should commit to impeach Bondi and refer to bar for disbarment.

Donald Trump has done every horrible, illegal, traitorous thing MAGAs pretended Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris did or would do.

Discovery is going to be fantastic, though. We all saw this abuse of power coming. Multiple prosecutors (even Trump appointed ones) tried to stop the administration from making this mistake because there’s no case.

Just a reminder: democrats can’t shut down the government. Republicans hold the majority.

Trump’s hated for Comey is so bizarre when you think about the fact that without Comey’s October 2016 intervention, Trump probably wouldn’t have won the 2016 election and wouldn’t be president today.

This is terrifying. Hegseth is summoning all flag officers from around the globe to Quantico the night before republicans shut down the government. Is this a final purge of dissidents? Are they going to use a government shutdown as pretext for massive domestic military mobilization?

Imagine if VP Kamala Harris did this.

No more Chobani yogurt for me!!! 😡 #BoycottChobani www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

I'm struggling to contain my anger over the government's handling of the ICE shooting in Dallas - specifically, the refusal to publicly identify three human beings who were killed or seriously wounded These monsters do everything possible to dehumanize refugees. We can't let them get away with it

On the ICE shooting. 1. It's terrible. 2. Too many disturbed people have access to too many guns in this country. 3. Too many political figures use incendiary and dehumanizing rhetoric. By far the most significant of them is the president. The fish of political violence rots from the head down.

“.. I absolutely couldn’t care less what he [Trump] thinks about me … He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.” @time.com time.com/7319963/bruc...

BARTIROMO: Do you think at some point companies will stop eating the tariffs and start passing it on to consumers? KEVIN HASSETT: I don't worry about that at all

Lot of provocation from Russia lately. There have been Russian airspace violations in Poland, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Lithuania, Latvia, and Romania - all in September.

Good morning

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) told reporters this about the decisive 218th signature for House discharge petition seeking to force release of Epstein case files: "The House leaders and some of the powers that be in DC are in full panic right now"

Jimmy Kimmel was on fire again last night.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

To leaders around the world: California is your stable and reliable partner in fighting the climate crisis and protecting our environment.

Every single American will be paying almost $59 each to bailout Argentina. Is that what you voted for? #MakeArgentinaGreatAgain

Forty special elections across the country since November 2024 and average margin of Democratic over-performance is 15 points. This is huge headed into next year's midterms.

NEWS: Jim Comey reportedly to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia, where Trump just fired a prosecutor for who opposed the case. Blatant and brazen weaponization of the government against Trump's political opponents.

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?

A bit ironic that former FBI Director James Comey will be the first government official indicted by Trump's Kangaroo Court nine years after he helped Trump win the 2016 election.

MAGA: Trump wasn't threatening ABC. TRUMP: I'm threatening ABC.

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return! Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY. (Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

You can be mad at Jim Comey for what he did to HRC in 2016 and also decry any potential indictment as bullshit. You can do both.

Today’s tragedy at the Dallas ICE Field Office shows how dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric has become. Words that dehumanize don’t just poison politics — they fuel violence. My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones as we work with officials for clarity and accountability.

🚨BREAKING: Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be criminally indicted in the coming days by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), MSNBC reports. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

California doesn’t go down without a fight. Point blank.

Feels like Disney thinks we're expendable, and that they can just raise the prices on those who remain to make up the difference.

We need MORE people speaking out against fascism and ICE, not less. When the government threatens people speaking against fascism and speaking out against unconstitutional police action, that usually means they are MORE fascist, not less. THE MEDIA HAS TO DO A BETTER JOB AT CALLING OUT FASCISM

We called it “Anti-ICE” within hours...while the dead were detainees. That mismatch isn’t reporting; it’s tinder. Here’s how motive-first headlines heat the next attack.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

New from me (and timely!): The Very Definition of Selective and Vindictive Prosecution: No one should be wrongfully prosecuted because a president wants revenge staytuned.substack.com/p/the-very-d...

Garcia on Tom Homan: Yet he is somehow possibly taking a $50,000 bribe to steer contracts—while at the same time trying to deport everybody else. I think a few folks have said it, but it bears repeating: he should be self-deporting himself.

Trump demands an “immediate investigation” into the UN escalator that stopped when he stepped on it, saying those responsible “should be arrested.” Reports say it was triggered by one of his own videographers accidentally triggering the safety mechanism.

📌James Comey is a real, duplicitous asshole, who gave us Trump. Disgusting irony aside ...if he is prosecuted by this orange, America-attacking lowlife, fascism is officially here.

oh my god lol -- Trump calls for UN workers to be arrested because his escalator didn't work yesterday

NEWS Jimmy Kimmel’s return episode was watched by 6.3 million viewers on broadcast TV. These numbers are triple his normal viewership, and it’s important to note 23% of households didn’t have access to show due to preemption by Sinclair/Nexstar. Monologue was viewed over 25 million times online.

Even with 20% of ABC stations still boycotting his show, I love this for Fat Satan.”
