To show their support for the Second Amendment, everyone stood behind bulletproof glass—after going through metal detectors and a full TSA-style fondling.

Live your life in such a way where Stephen Miller isn't delivering your eulogy

This isn’t just Homan’s scandal. It’s a stress test of democracy. Fail this, and we teach every grifter how to win.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

They still haven't consolidated full authoritarianism yet; they can still lose

You’re not asking for justice, you’re ordering hit jobs. Demanding the AG indict your rivals, firing prosecutors who won’t play along, then shouting “JUSTICE NOW”, that’s corruption, not justice. And yes that’s impeachable. You should've been serving time, not becoming a president.

One thing I am realizing about this administration-- not just Trump, but his underlings-- is that they all think running the country is functionally the same as being able to have everything they want, all at once, immediately. There is no strategy, just naked expectation of instant gratification.

Where’s the fucking courage? Say it with the doors open.

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

Dems need to loudly demand Homans’ ouster NOW

Tom Homan taking $50K cash in a restaurant takeout bag. Promising to help secure government contracts in a second Trump administration in exchange. This isn’t lobbying, this isn’t influence-peddling; this is the dictionary definition of gangster politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Farmer speaks out at GOP Rep. Alford's Town Hall: “Trump is not helping the farmer. When are you gonna stand up for us instead of kissing his ass for these trade deals?"

You know a doctor is a quack when he asks for medical advice from RFK, Jr., who admits that nobody should ask him for medical advice.

Good point.

Any journalist who agrees to these conditions is announcing that they will be an unpaid public relations officer for the Pentagon, full stop.

Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."

It strikes me that quite a lot of people knew for the last year that the guy running our horrific deportation squads took a bag with $50k in cash from undercover FBI agents investigating corruption, and it didn’t get out until now.

Publicize the names of organizations and journalists who agree to this! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/b...

Remind me. What's that thing you call "cancel culture? And snowflakes?

Aren't these the very same people who thought driving around in pickup trucks with an image of Biden bound and gagged on the tailgate was funny?

If you're a cable host interviewing Tom Homan, at the very least you need to ask him about accepting bribes to influence government contracts. Or -- hear me out -- you could wordlessly pull a thick envelope from your coat pocket and slide it to him across the table with a stage wink.

To recap, Trump signed a proclamation saying that after midnight tonight, no one with an H-1B visa may enter the US unless they have paid $100,000. However, anonymous White House officials are saying it doesn't apply to people with current H-1B visas — yet there is NO official guidance! None!

why does Tom Homan look so much like the cannibal nipple ring guy in mad max

If there is a shutdown and any interruption of benefits, just quote this slurring, inept old fool every single day saying Social Security is “not very good anyway”

Both U.S. Attorneys for Virginia in the Eastern and Western Districts have now resigned This comes after Todd Gilbert resigned last month

The absolute misread of the moment by corporate interests and media will never cease to be fucking hilarious to me.

These are extremely bad numbers: fewer than half of *Republicans* interviewed say the country is headed in the right direction, and only *14%* of independents think so. Women and younger voters especially disillusioned apnews.com/article/863d...

One more way this administration continues to kill the truth

Same week: 1. “Trump added $3 billion [in wealth] over the last year, leveraging the presidency for profit.” 2. “.. sales of foods commonly purchased when financial times get tough are on the rise ..” @zacheverson.com @nytimes.com www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

I find this extremely chilling: I spoke w a reporter this morning about Kimmel. (Reporter was / is great) They got back to me a short while ago to say they sought White House comment & WH demands to know first which experts they spoke with. I told reporter I'm happy to be quoted IN THE STORY but 1/x

Had not realized this new $100k fee was to be *imposed at midnight tonight*! This is arbitrary government action meant either to do direct harm to those not expecting it—or to provide Trump and his grifters a chance to offer special waivers for corporations/visa holders willing to pay bribes

I have to keep this deliberately vague, but this is a total disaster for academic research. And imposing it so suddenly is just cruel. I’ve got friends scrambling to get back to the US before midnight tonight. Do you know how hard that is to do on 36 hours of notice?

I know this is going to sound stupid, but it’s actually true. Disney has been on a crusade of devaluing the visitor and worker experience at the park for well over a decade. It’s palpable how little regard they have for their customers and their workforce. I hope this is a tipping point.

“It is a bad sign for the federal government. They are doing everything they can to try to legitimize their prosecutions, and thank God the jury and the public are seeing right through it.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Every statistic about how bad the economy is getting is going to be buried or cooked by the end of the year. Quarterly earnings reports shifting to semi-annual earnings will ensure private companies don’t inject reality too often by talking about declining sales, etc.

Nothing screams “small government, free speech warrior” like the FCC chair rocking state-mandated jewelry of a convicted felon. Brendan Carr went from pretending to guard the First Amendment to cosplaying as Trump’s mall cop.

Oh, shut up

The commercialisation of the internet is what ruined it. It's why the last bastions of non-commercial, community-driven spaces are heavily targeted so much, particularly Wikipedia. It's unfathomable and unconscionable to the hyper-capitalists that such a large space exists with no financial goal.

Keep going. There are options other than Disney.

This is honestly post-Reagan America across the board—everyone has more to gain by looking out for themselves than by working for any larger good
