“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.” Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Breaking: LOS ANGELES (AP) — California governor signs a law banning most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during some operations.

BREAKING: Simply put this corrupt bully Tom Homan now needs to be cuffed, hands behind his back, and led across the border www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI investigation of Tom Homan, chief tormentor of immigrants, after Homan was caught on camera taking $50,000 in cash for promising to arrange government contracts. The Trump regime is an organized crime ring.

"In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

An uplifting tale for your Saturday.

This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.

It didn’t have to be like this. But always ignorant celebrities started peeling off arrogantly announcing they would not support Biden. Equally ignorant and arrogant people followed and either voted for tRump or third party or not at all. MAGTs are awful but the rest are why we are here. Fuck you.

We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of this Tweet. I feel like I should buy it a birthday cake.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

Very much this. Disney has a bunch of releases coming in theaters, on PVOD and disc, and on streaming. Burn them. Remind them of what happened to Target when they knelt and licked the boot.

NEWS: A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, a state lawmaker in Illinois. There are no reported injuries.

The president of the United States just took a TV show off the air. That’s what your “free country” has come to.

Meanwhile, Brian Kilmeade, who advocated killing all homeless people, still has a cushy Fox job.

Jimmy Kimmel. Jesus Christ. Jimmy Kimmel is Jay Leno with a better jaw. As opposed to Fallon, who'll be anything for anybody as long as you're buying the next round.

with many of my neighbors and local orgs, we've been fighting this hard. reassuring that our local electeds listened (not mayor and gov, of course). if you haven't seen firsthand, it's wild how much money has been poured into celeb endorsements, bot campaigns, courting small biz owners, bribes, etc

ABC: What a disgrace. Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for this: “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

Huge thanks for the very kind words from @etherdiver.bsky.social

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Bye bye, First Amendment. Hello, fascism.

This was after Colbert was canceled. Which was two months ago.

BREAKING: First Colbert. Now Kimmel. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

@jimmykimmel.com is on here. Looking for comment...

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

If you see anyone not mourning the death of Robert Redford the way you would like, please call their employer and get them fired!

Please hear me when I say that this man was a Nazi propagandist and fascist organizer, and must be loudly remembered as such in the coming days

Some skeets warrant an immediate follow. This has been one of them, @saracentury.bsky.social

NOOOOO. RIP to Robert Redford.

….the way we were…. Nostalgia is hard right now. It hurts.

ICYMI our bands & label have joined the Public Benefit Company @ampwall.com We’ll be adding more in the future, including the next Bipolar Explorer’s album. From @sluggrecords.com page you’ll find links to albums by @bipolarexplorer.info and @tremosphere.com Thanks. ampwall.com/a/sluggrecords

saturday night impulse purchase, anyone?

John Shea 🤖 An instant classic: all about Patrick Bailey’s walk-off grand slam that caps Giants' win over Dodgers — and other memorable moments on a wild night in SF:

NBC Sports Bay Area & CA 🤖 reposted by SF Giants on NBCS 🤖 There were several unforgettable Giants performances in last night's walk-off win that felt like a playoff game (via @PavlovicNBCS)

And what I'm describing is actually a weakness on the left: We do believe that if we could just make people *understand,* they'd agree. They don't care about shared understanding on the right. They believe in power. We could learn from how they do things and it's not the art of persuasion.

More of the Bipolar Explorer catalog added to @ampwall.com - our 10th album, 2021's FORESTS, VOICES, COASTLINES, DREAMS. This album is a collection of the tracks we recorded for the great @darkoutside.co.uk & his legendary experimental broadcast project. Cassettes sold out but CD & digital avail!

"Charlie Kirk demonized people he disagreed with in the foulest and most aggressively insulting language possible. He did it because it made him famous. He did it because it made him money. He did it because it made rooms full of young conservatives chant his name and stroke his ego."

The woke radical leftist teachers in the electrical program at Dixie Technical College indoctrinated him. Time to move the goalposts again.

that wsj story now feels like a culmination of anti-trans panic that should prompt a reckoning in the mainstream media. was totally bunk, false, peddled. it’s the kind of thing that has led to reconciliation before, and it should now. news editors should be looking at themselves in the mirror

“We got him!” Really? That’s the line? His father turned him in. You received him.

So after days of Republicans blaming and vilifying Democrats and trans people for Kirk’s murder despite having no clue who the person was, we find out it’s a white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loved guns.
