This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

Tell me you’ve never had a girlfriend without telling me

Omg. I’ve never seen anything like this in a judicial opinion:

I’ll tell you who in my feed seems MOST unamused by this nonsense: veterans.

Really the only question that matters

This is it.

These Kavanaugh Stops keep seeming to be a lot more invasive than Kavanaugh tried to pretend they would be. The extent to which Justices just make up facts, history, psychology, etc etc etc to get the outcomes they want, and the legal community as a whole just shrugs is … legit appalling.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

[as the SS executioner slips a piano wire noose around my neck] let’s talk permitting reform

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

On the principle of “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,” this article fails to reach even a low bar. I mean the article — which I read three times — not just the headline. We can only conclude that the "extraordinary claims require... " principle is not in use for this protagonist.

Hegseth fires general officers and JAGs, cracks down on dissenting views in military, orders killing civilians at sea without legal rationale, calls generals to Quantico to demand loyalty. Trump deploys troops to U.S. cities. "What are Trump and Hegseth up to? It's a mystery!"

Agree. The current SCOTUS—openly corrupt (Thomas, Alito), nakedly unrepresentative (last Dem to appoint a Chief Justice=Harry Truman; GOP-appointed majority for 55+ years), cowering to Trump (John "Roger Taney" Roberts)—has failed to stand up for rule of law. Needs to be central issue.

No sah we have not!

Sinclair folds. Nexstar still holding out. If you’re in a Nexstar (ABC) market, watch their local news broadcast, take note of the advertisers and call them!

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

Now pushing no Tylenol for kids. My two small kids recently spiked three fevers in two weeks (Covid, virus, virus). You want me to make them stay up all night sweating and keening rather than give them one safe chewable, drop their temp, and let them go to sleep? You are an actual monster.

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

1/n A few days ago, an article appeared in The Atlantic with a bold headline “Left-wing terrorism is on the rise.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

UPDATE Open Society Foundation — the foundation started and funded by George Soros and currently run by his son Alex — responds to reporting that the DOJ is investigating the organization:

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Disney investors demand details into company’s Jimmy Kimmel suspension www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

So, closing 1% of total US/ Canada stores, but nearly 10% of union stores. Some mathematicians would consider this evidence of union busting.

THIS IS THE MOVIE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE. As the story explains, this was a struggle to get out there. If you are an indie theater or performing arts space who wants a night of comedy, please let me know and I will get you the DCP. October 2, y’all.

We are calling for actions at Nexstar and Sinclair Corporate locations *this* Friday, September 26th nationwide! Even though Jimmy has returned in some markets, he has not returned in all of them due to Nexstar and Sinclair continuing to preempt his show. friendseverywhere.network

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Karen Attiah, a Washington Post opinion writer fired this month for her social media posts about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, has filed a grievance arguing that she should have been allowed to share her views on news events under the company’s labor agreement and social media policy.

"First they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent." - Bertrand Russell on how fascism starts. Good grief, is this ever true given all that's happened to me.

"More than a million people had canceled Disney streaming subscriptions as of Monday, the Disney source told me, and the company likely knew that trend would only continue the longer they kept Kimmel silenced." @marisakabas.bsky.social w/ a doozy. 👀

Kimmel drama reminds us there are some media companies that remain independent NYT, NBC/MSNBC, CNN (regardless of their politics) and others CBS, ABC, Paramount, Skydance, WaPo, NexStar which opted to be Trump-loyal. Independent vs Trump Media. Maybe ABC is reconsidering. Remains to be seen.

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

So, here's what makes it even more ridiculous: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... This is a study that shows that if you have a fever in the seond trimester and don't take fever-reducing medication (which means acetaminophen)...guess what your child is more likely to be.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

The arc of conspiracy is short and it bends towards the Jews.

Where do these titans of business think things are going to be for them even like three years from now? The possibilities seem to be they're either bled dry by a never-satisfied growing fascist state or shackled to the corpse of a failed fascist state.

Jennifer Aniston, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, Olivia Rodrigo headline new ACLU letter with 400+ signers against government threat to free speech, citing Kimmel. Also signed by comedians including Nimesh Patel, Mary Beth Barone, Sam Morril, Gianmarco Soresi, Anthony Jeselnik, Pete Holmes

I always share this quote, which I *hope* speaks to them at least a little.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.
