I sincerely hope those in the military remember that you are NOT REQUIRED TO FOLLOW AN ILLEGAL ORDER. I don't know what this meeting in Virginia is about, but this country needs you, Trump is exploiting you for his own gains, a fascist state. Do not be his pawn.

The comments in this week's Dallas Fed survey have to be seen to be believed: ".. uncertainty from the administration’s policies has put a damper on all investment in the oil patch. Those who can are running for the exits." ".. drilling is going to disappear." www.dallasfed.org/research/sur...

79% of Americans, including 75% of Republicans, think the Trump regime should release the Epstein files. Yet the White House and Speaker Mike Johnson are desperately trying to hide the facts about Trump’s sex predator ex-friend. Why? What’s in those files that has Trump so worried?

My Republican mother is from Arkansas. She asked me if I had heard about the woman farmer running against Tom Cotton. My mom likes her. A lot. arkansasadvocate.com/2025/07/15/a...

Jimmy Kimmel was on fire again last night.

Well done, Kristi Noem, she who, btw, STILL has not had to publicly answer for the racial profiling policies at DHS that resulted in this disaster. Can no enterprising reporter confront her about this international disaster?

I was there today in Colorado Springs. It was very moving. Call your reps to support HR 4405..release all epstein files. gazette.com/2025/09/24/v...

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

The Law: 18 U.S. Code § 227 says that it is a federal crime for any executive branch employees (including the president) to influence or threaten to influence a private employment decision. It's punishable by a fine or up to 15 years in prison or both.

Over the weekend, we wrote about how dozens of judges have found ICE's new detention policy — seeking to lock up millions of people facing deportation without a chance for bond — is illegal. Last night, four more judges added to the growing list: www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Thank you everyone for the wonderful and inspiring comments about SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE. I hope you can join us for the big book launch this Thursday evening, either in-person or online at 92NY.org. This 1-min video explains... www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhDR...

Agreed, Molly. It’s like being traumatized on a daily basis. Please sign and share. bsky.app/profile/john...

Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…

Some of us do.

Baptist minister: It is up to us to stop Christian nationalism

As the brother of an autistic American, as a person who worked on US scientific integrity policy at the White House, and as human being, I'm boiling at the RFK idiocy. And though I have little to offer beyond surpassing rage and national shame, I did smile at this statement from NYU's Arthur Caplan:

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

Julie Brown is a hero in every sense. Her relentless reporting ripped open the Jeffrey Epstein case when powerful people wanted it buried. Honestly, I don’t think we’d even be talking about Epstein today if it weren’t for her. Please consider following her: @jkbjournalist.bsky.social

🚨Rachel Maddow drops a news 💣 tonight. 1/2

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

I get that "don't complain bc things sucked more in the past" is not really a strong argument, politically or morally. But still. This graph is stunning, comparing the 2020 homicide spike in NYC to historic trends. Still SO safe, for all the "city on fire!" rhetoric.

I watch the pollination in real time. I watch people step up without support. I see the red state Democrats rally. I see them blossom. I witness the fruit of their work ripen. Magic. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Thanks John Oliver

McLachlan and fellow artists canceled their Disney premiere performance after Kimmel’s suspension, denouncing censorship. Stars from Pedro Pascal to Jean Smart joined calls to boycott Disney, exposing Trump’s hand in silencing dissenting voices.

Howard Stern says he feels for Disney, but he’s canceling Disney+. “I’m trying to say with my pocketbook that I do not support what they’re doing with Jimmy.” x.com/sternshow/st...

#Antifa runs in our blood.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

No. Damn near all Democrats unequivocally condemned his killing and oppose who he was & what he espoused. That’s not “trashing” him. That’s disagreeing with him. Btw, all the voices on the right USING his killing to attack the left and push a war between good & evil is way more “disturbing & scary.”

Ukraine: Gaining momentum in Donetsk, Ukraine has retaken seven settlements and over 160 square kilometers, disrupting Russia’s transport of troops and supplies. Russia is now struggling to hold its positions. Press not covering.
