A president weaponizing government power to silence speech he doesn't like is a crisis for our democracy. We must stand with those who refuse to bow to political blackmail — and call out those, like ABC, who cave to a wannabe king and put our rights at risk.

It's weird to explain this to non-wrestling fans, but: Right now in the US, there are two national pro wrestling companies, and the publicly traded one is bear-hugging Trump, while the one that is independently owned by a single billionaire nepo baby is frequently gayer than 8 guys blowing 9 guys.

looking directly at the camera and saying “he is the antichrist”

Every mayoral administration leaves behind successes we can learn from—even if we disagreed with the mayor themselves. Good to talk a little NYC history on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social with @jonathancapehart.bsky.social this morning.

No man I think it's important to say Christians don't do this. To say the evil these people do leans towards the heretical. It is very important to be able to let people say This Is Not Who We Are

They are not hiding it, people who don't see it at this point are choosing not to

GOLDMAN: “.. During the last 40 years, there have been eight episodes where the Fed cut after being on hold for 6 or more months. In half of those episodes the economy subsequently entered recession.”

"We do not disagree with him in terms of his haterd for woke, btw. We wanna make it very clear that we are on the same side as him for that."

One of the most ridiculous things about Trump v. US is that it's clear that when Roberts describes how Trump views his election theft actions he's also describing how he personally views them

Absolutely critical for putting the events of the last 48 hours into context

It’s so funny how he makes his strongest soldiers the butt of the joke at every opportunity. Just endless humiliation.

Miller is such a loser. Just extreme "I need a swirlie" energy radiating off him at all times.

At this point, if you do not see what is going on here, you are dumber than a Nazi

The only Frank Luntz focus group I would like to see is one where everyone involved watches the Charlie Kirk funeral rally after watching some of his content and talks about it

Its a cult for one man and one man only

The President, at a nationally televised event, just talked about how much he hates half the country & wants bad things to happen to them. This will barely make a blip in news coverage this week bc our press long ago decided that Trump gets to be as divisive as possible w/o criticism as a treat.

Kudos once again to every pundit, reporter, and commentator that lied to themselves & their readers when they pretended like Trump was someone that could turn the temperature down--or was even interesting in doing so.

Ezra Klein thinks we need to "learn to live with" a guy that talks about how much he openly and explicitly hates us

Frequent angry outbursts at inappropriate times is apparently a pretty big sign of advancing dementia

I love how Charlie Kirk supporters always have signs with his picture next to a Bible verse because if the sign showed words he’d actually said they’d look like protesters.

Rula Hardal & May Pundak are leaders w/A Land for All — a Palestinian/Israeli initiative grounded in shared human values & lived reality. As we close out 5785, they joined us today to cry out against the destruction of Gaza, and to imagine, despite everything, a shared future. www.2s1h.org/en

Why would you prepare your home in that situation.

It should be obvious, but from someone who is aware of the literature: There is no observed link between Tylenol use in pregnancy and autism. But there is significant data on all sorts of bad outcomes if pregnant women don't treat high fevers.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

The fact that Republicans no longer feel they need to even gesture at acknowledging the humanity of their opponents is the entire problem.

"We are the storm." Stephen Miller out here Q-pilling during Charlie Kirk's memorial service.

Embracing pronatalism by making pregnancy as excruciating and undesirable as possible

"Since regaining power, Trump has operated as though federal law enforcement is little more than a wholly owned subsidiary of his political project and personality cult — and his Justice Department has operated this way, too." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Well, obviously Jimmy Kimmel was wrong to suggest that MAGA World was making a spectacle out of Charlie Kirk's death.

too many doomers are honestly just licking the ground in the hopes a boot is there

Multiple comments under this (good and accurate!) post to the effect of "yeah absolutely, I hate Democrats". People don't even read what they're replying to anymore

Anti Ukraine sentiment created the stupidest possible horseshoe between “tankies” and “people who love Putin because he won’t let anyone be gay”

Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by Trumpian incompetence. But it is worth noting that, since 1975, the dollar has only seen a steeper year-to-date decline during the deliberate depreciation that followed the 1985 Plaza Accord:

Per NGS: "Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis, who blocked a potential game-winning field goal and returned it for a touchdown as time expired, reached a top speed of 18.59 mph on the return, the fastest speed by a player over 330 pounds since at least 2017."

Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way.

Tomorrow is going to be a shitty day for many autistic people. The report on itself is bad, but so is the language we're going to see officials use to describe autism.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

There is no “critics say”; the President is demanding his DOJ go after his enemies.

Trump attempts to project a resistance-is-futile aura. trib.al/DWi3eU1 His most deranged displays—claims about crowd sizes, dumb imagery of his face attached to cartoonishly steroidal bodies, ineffectual occupation of U.S. cities—have a quality seemingly designed to be overbearing.

Due Tues, the annual report is what the Bureau of Labor Statistics says is the only "federal household survey to provide info on the complete range of consumers' expenditures & incomes." BOMBS AWAY: It's "rescheduled to a later date," w/o further comment from BLS. 🧾 www.axios.com/2025/09/19/b...

Sen. Murphy: "Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, literally accepted a bag of cash—$50,000—and the investigation was dropped when Trump became president. There are two standards of justice now in this country. If you are a friend of the president...you can get away with anything."

I'll say it again: if a news media org cannot advocate for its own existence & the existence of the social institution its a part of against those that seek to destroy both, of what value to the public is it any longer?

A day or so, is apparently the answer.

imagine thinking, in the year of our lord 2025, that Donald Trump is capable of human empathy

Remember when news media flipped out bc Biden momentarily mixed up Mexico and Egypt?

So is Halligan nominated or appointed as interim? It would certainly resolve some confusion if Maggie Cleary is the acting U.S. attorney while Halligan's nomination goes through, but the likelihood of Halligan getting confirmed seems slim if Alina Habba couldn't get confirmed.

This is the Trump thug who wants to deny due process rights to everyone else. Turns out he was being investigated for taking $50k cash in an illegal scheme, but Trump’s DOJ dropped it. This double standard and corruption is infecting our justice system.

It’s good for Democrats to be able to say they tried. Puts all the blame on Trump.

Coney Island casino would be great for the area says former elected official who is being paid by the casino w/o disclosing that in this DN editorial.

The Taliban must be shaking with fear that Trump is going to give them two weeks before he will be "very unhappy" and then give them two weeks before he will be "very disappointed" and then give them two weeks and then…
