SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

"In a brief phone call, Posobiec said he was unavailable to speak. He did not reply to a list of emailed questions."

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k. 2025: $228 2026: $1142 She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care. This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

Funny, he doesn't LOOK like a drag queen...

Remembering how the media reported that the Trump campaign not only denied intent to follow Project 2025, but insisted that anyone associated would be barred from the administration. @politico.com had a big piece about it.

Never thought I'd cancel #XboxGamePass but god damn $360 a year? And the only real benefit from these new changes is a little bit higher quality streaming which I don't really use. It doesn't matter how much "value" it brings or whatever I just don't have the TIME to get $360/yr out of it.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

2A people, where you at? Where's your big rally? Where's the NRA marshaling its members against this, and lobbying congress to impeach or else? This is literally and explicitly the exact thing you said you're arming yourself for. This is it. Or was that all just bullshit so you could play Rambo?

The totally straight, neutral, "just another news story" headlines and framing of Trump explicitly calling for full scale military war against cities he doesn't like is just 🤯 The entire mainstream media is utterly failing the easiest layup ever.

Congratulations, YouTube. You just marked yourself. You didn't make this go away for the low-low price of $24.5M, you opened your wallet up to a bully and said "every time you hit me you can take more out." Dumbass.

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

See? This is how you do it, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social You don't have to roll over and then make statements about how what they're doing is wrong and they should stop. You can exert your authority to fight back.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

Trump's handlers know that his brain is such a bowl of mashed potatoes that he can be manipulated by just showing him videos of 5-year old riots and he won't recognize that it's not current. *and he was president THEN, and went on a full rampage against them at the time!*

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

The Right is nakedly trying to make it illegal to call them fascists which is about the most obviously fascist thing you could come up with.

Walmart has long been a facilitator of fraud on a mass scale, a ProPublica investigation found. More than $1 billion in fraud losses were routed through the company’s financial services between 2013 and 2022. (Published Jan. 2024)

Top VA officials testified that they don’t know how many doctors and nurses have left. We do. The VA is down 600+ doctors and 1,900+ nurses this year. After years of growth, the number of docs has declined each month since Trump took office. www.propublica.org/article/vete...

So a DC-based colleague sent me this -- but apparently to get alerts from the White House you have to agree to *promotional and marketing messages notifications and customer service communications* Are other people seeing this? This seems like an obviously illegal use of public data. 1/n

NEW: Jeremy Carl, a top Trump nominee, deleted 1000s of social media posts, many w/inflammatory commentary — including incendiary posts about race, claiming “peaceful coexistence” w/Democrats is impossible - even a call for a political opponent to face the death penalty. www.cnn.com/2025/09/25/p...

ProPublica identified 155 counties in the Deep South with private schools that opened as likely segregation academies. One in Amite County, Mississippi, has never — over nearly 30 years of surveys — reported enrolling more than one Black student. (Published Dec. 2024)

To: Congressional Democrats Re: Government shutdown Please do not be reasonable. It is time to be UNreasonable. Play hardball. Be unfair. Hit hard. We got you.

Rep. Stansbury: It's going to be very hard for Republicans to pin the shutdown on Democrats when they have already canceled votes and control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Donald Trump's Crypto & AI Czar already has HUGE conflicts of interest. Now, he could be overstaying the clear time limit of his role so he can keep influencing crypto policy. We're launching an investigation into yet another example of possible Trump admin corruption.

More from the Suffolk University poll: www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suff... Do you support or oppose "defund the police"? Support - 21% Oppose - 74% Would you support or oppose cutting some of the police budget and using the money for social services? Support - 54% Oppose - 41%

Way to not do journalism, @wsj.com If some says it’s raining and someone else says it’s sunny, you don’t just say what the two sides say. You say which side is true and which is full of shit. And your headline must reflect it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

What’s the agreed-upon excuse for the Rapture not happening this time (again)?

Ah, I see, shadow docket *plus* rocket docket for whatever Trump needs. Reminder that the emoluments clause case filed by Maryland & DC started June 12, 2017 and then was stalled for so long that SCOTUS dismissed it in January 2021 without a decision because Trump losing made it moot.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

When Trump was asked about the best book he’d read…

If you are on X, you are on a cesspool of white supremacist wierdos, many of whom are AI bots. All to further enrich the world's richest man, who is DEEPLY distrubed.

Holy shit www.youtube.com/watch?v=emiB...

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

it was literally in a bag www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.

I didn't see anything in this story that said the WSJ will not sign the pledge. I found that omission odd. Though it does say this:

1. The amount of criminal self-dealing Musk does is incredible and it's crazy nobody has sued him and the board. 2. This whole statement is literally insane. Not figuratively insane; literally. If you go to to work for Elon Musk today, you're going to work for Howard Huges in 1955.

Listen to Comedy Santa, children. Sucking up to an Authoritarian never works. You're just going to give away everything that ever gave you power, and then he'll dispose of the husk.

hey so this is insane

How did Dr. Monarez go from being “a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials” who had the “full confidence” of Secretary Kennedy into being a “liar” and “untrustworthy” in less than a month? She refused to rubber stamp his anti-vaccine recommendations.
