We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy. Some thoughts from my new piece: 🧵

🤞 @ericswalwell.bsky.social

If January 6 had been properly covered by corporate media at the time—I don't mean in January 2021 but in the months afterward—it'd be understood that that attack was part of a larger plot and a longer insurrection than Americans believed. We are still in it now. And the Act was always the end game.

My GOD. Speechless.

Apparently Stephen Miller abruptly stopped talking after uttering "plenary authority" on CNN because of an earpiece malfunction. But he still said it. And it's still wrong. www.huffpost.com/entry/stephe...

(🚨) BREAKING NEWS: Deranged Trump Lawyer Pam Bondi Says Americans Who Oppose Fascism Will Be Treated Exactly Like Foreign Narcoterrorists—Meaning That Summary Execution Via Domestic Military Strike Is on the Table

One day you're living in a constitutional republic, the next day the president is calling for the arrest of governors and mayors

Colombian President Petro Compares Trump To Hitler, Says Trump Has 'Unleashed Ethnic War' In The U.S. "He is doing to Latin Americans the same thing Hitler did to Jews," Petro said www.latintimes.com/colombian-pr...

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

More Democrats need to follow JB Pritzker's lead and directly confront MAGA's ongoing campaign to crush our democracy. It's not a time for any Democratic politician to hide in their office making fundraising calls. Get your ass out there. Denounce the fascists. Be loud.

This appalling propaganda. This is not journalism at all.

Meanwhile in Russia: First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Alexey Zhuravlyov argued that the best way Russia can retaliate against America for sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine would be to bomb Rzeszów airbase in Poland. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGCp...

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is all provocation for a local response to justify federal violence. But without a strong response the federal presence, as Pritzker says, will stay through the election at least, to allow for Trump's control of vote counting.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Bondi Refuses to Explain Shady Order on Epstein Docs With Trump’s Name newrepublic.com/post/201425/...

6 Former Surgeons General Say RFK Jr. Is Endangering the Health of the Nation truthout.org/articles/6-f...

You know who else had access to the Epstein Files and did zero with them,, even with all the likely incriminating material on Trump? #MerrickGarland

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no. Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, was appointed to a senior DHS position in which she’ll help oversee election security. “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” one expert said.

New on MSNBC: Trump's new acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan has recruited prosecutors from outside her office to take James Comey to trial, after being unable to find any federal prosecutors in her own office willing to pursue the charges, according to two people familiar with the selections.

THIS!

This is from Marge Greene. You know who has been warning about this for months? Democrats. But the people who had no plan to deal with this crisis and still don’t want you to believe this is about “illegals.”

Reminder: Glenn Youngkin, Winsome Earle-Sears, John Reid, Jason MIyares, Jen Kiggans, Rob Wittman, John McGuire, Ben Cline, etc. all support this raving lunatic. Vote (100% "blue") accordingly, including this Nov. 4th! bluevirginia.us/2025/09/tues... h/t @marceldirsus.com @johnjharwood.bsky.social

Why didn't #MerrickGarland sign this letter? Why hasn't #MerrickGarland said ANYTHING since leaving office? Why hasn't #MerrickGarland defended DOJ employees whose lives are now in ruins and the precious "norms" & apolitical DOJ we were told he cares so very much about are torn to shreds? #POS

It’s just a joke, it’s just a joke, it’s just a joke…

Very confused how Texas Army National Guard soldiers would be deploying to Chicago tonight. This was just announced yesterday, right? You would be hard-pressed to deploy an XVIII Airborne Corps alert unit this fast, much less a Guard unit. Either this was in the works weeks ago, or something is off.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
