People are literally getting kidnapped and tortured because of Congress's inaction and these people are complaining about having to work a long weekend.

The Fruit Loop in Las Vegas is now an official historic landmark, and I love seeing it recognized! It was part of my own coming-out story and helped me find my place in the LGBTQ+ community.

MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Union-backed school board candidates in Durango, Colo. are beating their conservative opponents by 40 pt margins. Conservatives, including anti-furry fmr Gov candidate Heidi Ganahl, have made Durango the center of education culture war issues lately. #copolitics

UPDATE: Dems lead every city council race in Aurora, Colorado - and could flip a 7-3 GOP majority into a 6-4 Dem edge - including what would be a shocking upset of MAGA media star Danielle Jurinsky, whose claims of a "complete gang takeover" led Trump to call Aurora "conquered." #copolitics

MIDNIGHT UPDATE: Moderate/Dem-backed candidates are currently sweeping every school board race in conservative Douglas County, Colorado (home to a famous school voucher experiment). Would give moderates total 7-0 control of the school board. #copolitics

A Tuesday filing by the ACLU of Nevada and UNLV Immigration Clinic challenges an ICE policy requiring anyone facing deportation to be held in detention, even if they don’t have a criminal record or have lived in the U.S. for decades. Read about it here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/neva...

Establishment Dems need to wake the F up.

Opinion from Ben Palen: As autumn sunsets cast their golden glow across Kansas, a chance to focus on what really matters #ksleg

"The American invasion of Iraq in 2003 ultimately killed at least 200,000 Iraqi civilians and 4,492 American soldiers, with an additional 32,292 service members wounded ... This was the pinnacle of Cheney’s career as a leader" www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

He did not make the world a better place and made a mockery of his oath of office. A lot of lives were destroyed by his actions and I’m taking a moment to reflect on that.

MANHATTAN (KSNT) – The Kansas State Wildcats are off to a hot start for the 2025-26 season, defeating Omaha 100-35 in the season opener. Nearly half the Wildcats’ points came from its b…

I'd like to once again reup my Rahm Emanuel takedown piece www.readtpa.com/p/the-smalle...

Nevada gaming revenue resumed its decline in September after a few months of positive numbers, while airline traffic continued to fall. Analysts attribute it to perceptions that Vegas isn’t a good deal and bad blood internationally. Read about it here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/vega...

Records analyzed by The Indy and Sunlight Research reveal Elon Musk’s Boring Company is buying up land near proposed Vegas Loop transportation tunnels. What does it all mean? Read about it here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/why-...

This is why I also get so annoyed when people tell me the 2024 election was free and fair. One of the major candidates was explicitly promising a bloodbath if he didn't get his way. His entire candidacy was a constitutional violation. No rational person believes that is free and fair.

Lol!!

This is why people like me are so hard on the Dems. GO AFTER THESE PEOPLE YOU FUCKING COWARDS. They are insane.

A federal judge last month barred Nevada Acting U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah from participating in several cases after ruling she was not validly serving in her position. But on Thursday, he put the ruling on hold as it awaits an appeal. Read more: thenevadaindependent.com/article/judg...

OPINION by Michael Schaus: What happens when the trolls and edgelords of the internet take over the government? We’re finding out in real time. No Kings unmasked Trump’s real governing philosophy: Punish enemies and reward bootlickers. Read more here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin...

It is genuinely crazy that the government has been shutdown for weeks, which will have ripple effects through virtually all facets of American life, and the Dems are still claiming it is because they want to preserve ACA subsidies (and that is the ONLY reason).

The media is trying to get me outraged about the East Wing getting demolished and not people getting kidnapped off the street and thrown into concentration camps. To say nothing about the small cabal of child rapists from both parties that are controlling our government.

Our country makes dark money completely legal and it could not possibly be easier to hide all this dirt and yet somehow these motherfuckers cannot help but commit their crimes in public. It is so bizarre.

politicians aren't your friends. they're not your heroes. they're supposed to be working for you, not the other way around.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Very proud of the people at the Kansas state capital

okay; in a perhaps futile effort to encourage you to maybe take advantage of my sale (40% off, $30/yr, low low price! etc.), thought I'd share a few of my essays. help me keep scribbling!

UPDATE: the motions were withdrawn thanks to a vigorous campaign against them. www.usafa.org/content/news...

All these able-bodied Republicans, sitting home on their couches, drawing massive government paychecks. Makes me sick.

FEEDBACK: A former viewer

this is a prime opportunity for democrats to explicitly tell their voters "they say you're a terrorist, but youre just a patriotic american who is trying to get by in this world."

What a vile ignorant woman. She's beyond repulsive.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, one of just two Democrats to back a Republican bill to fund the government. Even she has harsh words for GOP leaders. thenevadaindependent.com/article/neva...

Ummm, did Liz, Mitt and Adam lose their citizenship, millions, family, freedom, life, healthcare, credit, income, retirement or any thing that cannot be replaced? No. So ask the question again.

The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.

Personally can't stand Lombardo, but kudos here. "Gov. Joe Lombardo’s office is pushing for $7.3 million in state-provided emergency spending to continue funding a food assistance program for low-income families endangered by the ongoing federal government shutdown."

This is a complete failure to read the room. It is incompetent. It is political malpractice. The DSCC has clearly learned nothing, and they would rather deploy the same tired, divisive strategies instead of empowering Democratic voters and earning our confidence in their process.

Republicans have yet again cancelled votes this coming week. That won’t help us prevent health care costs from skyrocketing for all Americans but it WILL prevent Congress from voting to release the Epstein Files.  Fighting for health care >>>> Protecting pedophiles

The ACLU of Nevada is challenging Las Vegas police’s partnership with ICE, saying that the Legislature has not authorized it and it expends state resources without the promise that the federal government will reimburse all costs. Read about it here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/aclu...
