“Tell me why can’t we use a Predator drone to obliterate that boat [filled with migrants]?” - Stephen Miller’s alleged question to an Admiral during Trump Term 1

Trump Administration to link trade deficits and mail-in voting to autism.

The MAGA origin story is right here. Supporters claimed the bill wouldn’t alter the demographics of the US. (They were wrong.) Cue the depraved politics of Great Replacement.

the fact that in multiple cases the Supreme Court has worked to legalize bribery in the United States is a major corrosion of our civil order

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Ethical prosecutors act without fear or favor. Or on orders from the White House. My thoughts in @Bloomberg. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“So far for 2025, the Trump Organization has posted to hire 31 foreign temporary workers for its winery.”

Feel like this bears repeating— Donald Trump's net worth has increased by $3 billion in the past 12 months, mostly due to crypto. Anyway, how's your day?

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

An open endorsement of hate - precisely what you do not want the President to do after an assassination when messages from leaders disavowing violence are especially important www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...

I genuinely don’t think we deserve Trump. But when I see the intro to Sunday Night Football I wonder.

Absolutely critical for putting the events of the last 48 hours into context

Project much?

If we rid ourselves of Trump I hope every entity in America sues him and discovery provides access to his private instructions to all his criminal lackeys.

I would appreciate some deep reporting on TPUSA/Kirk’s finances.

Very Elian Gonzalez

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

The key thing I’m really taking away from this is that Tom Homan might have the lowest fees in the whole administration.

In 1983, 90% of U.S. media was owned by 50 companies. By 2012, that number was 6. Today, it's just 5. Decades of media consolidation made it "a lot easier for authoritarian government to exercise control," consumer advocate Gigi Sohn says. Much more in my new piece: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Your tax dollars at work.

I’m at a community meeting about resisting ICE in Chicago. There are about 400 people in this high school auditorium. Chicago is showing up.

This. I talked about this yesterday morning with Heather. People with power grabbing a LOT more power to make their “reign” permanent, and overplaying their hand. The Federalists in the late 1790s. Silencing the opposition press. They never regained national power.

The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list

In 1947, Station WFOR in Hattiesburg cut off an NBC broadcast on civil rights 19 minutes into the half-hour show, “Our Civil Rights—Are They in Danger?,” because it “got off on the racial question” and “both sides were not represented.”

The H1-B visa thing is, like everything else in the Trump administration, set up to carve up exceptions for friends and punish enemies. It’s the authoritarian thru-line that stitches everything together.

Hat tip to @aoc.bsky.social, this is pretty excellent

Homan is the kind of good fellow who will defend himself by explaining he didn’t know he was being taped. If he had, he wouldn’t a done it.

Behold your handiwork, Chief Justice Roberts

SEND A MESSAGE TO PAM TELLING HER THAT WE CAN'T DELAY ANY LONGER, IT'S KILLING OUR REPUTATION AND CREDIBILITY

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal. Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

A Fascist Lament

If Trump is conducting sensitive government business via Truth Social DMs, it raises the obvious question of how good Truth Social's encryption is, who has been trying to listen in, and how?

I’m kind of fascinated by the wide variety of ways life could go for this sewer rat after the MAGA Reich collapses.

He reviewed many thoughtful posts from Catturd and other distinguished legal minds and they all agree with him that the libtards suck.

Or just two meetings with Tom Homan.

The official word from the Trump White House is that lying has negative consequences.

In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts…

Good piece by Gary Kasparov on how Putin used control of the media to cement authoritarian control. www.rsn.org/001/i-saw-ho... Some of this story is told in my film, "Citizen K." The similarities to this moment are eerie.

Thug regime.

Thug regime.

Thug regime.

Damn. This is the guy who cowered when Trump called his wife ugly.

Thug regime.

Dems advertising that they are capitulating to threats of violence is not an especially smart plan even on narrow selfpreservation concerns
