Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Headlines on the Bloomberg Terminal from Air Force One: *TRUMP: TV LICENSES SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY IF BAD PUBLICITY FOR ME *TRUMP: IF TV SHOWS 'HIT TRUMP' SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ON LICENSES *TRUMP ON TV SHOWS CRITICIZING HIM: THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO

these people are genuinely idiots

My optimism here is limited, but I really hope centrist institutions like universities and major news organizations understand that the plan is for the govt to dismantle them. They do not care if you fire your columnists or discipline staff for accurately quoting Kirk. They just want us all gone.

like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist. Read more: 🔗 on.wsj.com/4nGGdnJ

The U.S.’s largest estuary is showing signs of revival. Once written off as a dead zone, water clarity in Chesapeake Bay has improved, underwater grasses are expanding, and crab populations are steadier thanks to decades of pollution controls. Nature buff.ly/morNFth #ShareGoodNewsToo

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

Not an exaggeration. If anything, this understates how unhinged the video is. It is, quite literally, five white guys talking about how to free the states from the burdens of the 14th Amendment so churches can effectively be given ownership over "gangbangers in Baltimore."

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

The Commanders and star WR Terry McLaurin have a 3-year extension worth $96M, sources say. The deal adds 3 more years to McLaurin, who now can take the field in 2025 with a clear head and full bank account.

The president the United States using armed, masked paramilitaries to intimidate a political rival.

US Park Police now doing traffic stops in DC, and charged at me with a baton for filming closer than they liked

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

From this month's edition of The Onion.

A university scientist who discovered alarming levels of toxic chemicals in a lake in southeastern Louisiana was abruptly removed from her research position this week without explanation

There’s a brand of political thinker (call them “normie optimists”) that reflexively treats this all as ephemeral. “Just wait for the midterms. Focus on the right messaging and win those swing districts.” I just want to stare at them and say “Emil Bove has been confirmed to a lifetime judgeship.”

“To Jeff — You are the greatest!” reads an inscription in a copy of Mr. Trump’s book “Trump: The Art of the Comeback” that belonged to Mr. Epstein @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/u...

Trump every day of his entire life.

Heyyyy finally!!

Here’s your free link to the Trump/ Epstein story www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

BREAKING: Justice Department fires SDNY federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, who played key role prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, per @eorden www.politico.com/news/2025/07/16/maurene-comey-fired-doj-00458921

This is the most open, most raw, most vulnerable and most introspective we've ever seen Joel Embiid be. Must read for Sixers fans. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Yeah he's spiraling

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans. President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

So there it is. They finally managed to kill someone in one of their Rambo cosplay events. Stephen Miller is responsible for this needless death. Theses thugs who in many cases were able to get legit police jobs think they’re doing a bin Laden compound raid or something.

DHS is urging law enforcement to treat even skateboarding and livestreaming as signs of violent intent during a protest, turning everyday behavior into a pretext for police action. www.wired.com/story/dhs-te...

Trump supports a right wing coup plotter, so now you'll have to pay more for beef and coffee.

I wrote about the Grok Situation

Elon's AI is now actively recommending a second Holocaust

Twitter is a Nazi hellhole. Its owner refuses to exercise basic trust and safety measures to stem the endless tide of neo-Nazis and instead has turned its house AI into an open antisemite. It is a public safety threat. Pull it from the app stores.

Wow -- Trump jumps in to try to shut down a reporter who attempts to ask Pam Bondi about the missing minute in the Epstein jailhouse tape

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.
