Even if we took what the indictment claims at face value (and you shouldn't)... this would be complete fucking nonsense.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

The United States is simply not politically stable enough, nor sufficiently committed to democratic and international principles, to host the UN.

This footage of unquestionable abuse of power and assault has haunted me all day. The New York Times reports this ICE officer was relieved of his duties and is under investigation. He should be under arrest.

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

"Would you say the US is in a political crisis?" Yes: 79% No: 18% Quinnipiac / Sept 21, 2025

The Supreme Court is no longer the third branch of the federal government. It is just an extension of the executive branch.

Speaker Mike Johnson is REFUSING to swear in Rep. Grijalva in Arizona to prevent the release of the Epstein files. This is LAWLESSNESS. Even if the Dems do win back the House do you all really think this lot will honor such a free and fair election?

Chicago just went all in on renewable energy and is demonstrating that it works. Chicago now powers EVERY city-owned building – from airports to police stations – with renewable energy. That includes O’Hare airport.

Reporter: There was a little awkwardness in the courtroom because 2 different versions of the indictment were presented and Halligan had signed both of them. That underscored how new she is at this. Who is going to prosecute this case? Is it going to be Halligan, who has no prosecutorial experience?

CEMBALEST: “.. Oracle’s stock jumped by 25% after being promised $60 billion a year from OpenAI, an amount of money OpenAI doesn’t earn yet, to provide cloud computing facilities that Oracle hasn’t built yet.”
