Donald Trump is president. He completely usurped the power of Congress — and his MAGA lackeys are more than happy to go along with whatever he wants. If the government ends up shutting down, there's only one person to blame.

Stay safe, Portland. Calm heads will prevail.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

With the Tylenol bullshit I’m reminded that women have always been the scapegoat. Remember, they didn’t burn witches. They burned women. And I have no doubt that some would like to bring that practice back.

Here’s how to impact Nexstar and Sinclair, which continue to refuse to air Kimmel:

Jimmy Kimmel says Trump ‘tried his best’ to cancel him, as his show returns to air after suspension

Newsom: "People ask, 'Are you being hyperbolic?' Bullshit we're being hyperbolic. If you're Black or brown, it's here in this country. And so I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address masking ... these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian govt"

A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands appeared on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Tuesday, September 23. A plaque under the statue states that it has been erected “In Honor of Friendship Month."

This kind of behavior is indicative of a very abusive man. The tone. The impulsivity. The abusive language. The jeering. The reveling in his power.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Was it worth it? #massshootings #schoolshootings #charliekirk #guncontrol Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons

Also, possible hot take… Knowingly marrying a n*zi makes you a n*zi too. Knowingly marrying someone who said they’d make their ten year old daughter carry their r*pist’s baby to term makes you complicit in that harm too. I’m not saying she deserved loss. I’m saying that empathy has limits.

Watch this video. Then act accordingly. We do not have to be empathetic towards a person who showed no empathy. I do have empathy for his kids. Which is something he never had for anyone else's. #SheShed

SAD LOSER DOZY DONNY TRUMP, WHO NEW YORK HATES, WENT TO THE US OPEN WHERE HE GOT BOOED — AND THEN "FARTY DON" FELL ASLEEP IN HIS SEAT. YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) CHRONICLES ALL THAT AND MORE IN A BEAUTIFUL POST LIKE NO ONE'S EVER SEEN. THANK YOU FOR READING IT HERE: bit.ly/4p9axZH

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

Bless these people!

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
