"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," an agent can be heard saying in the video. "Hey, I can give it through the door," a man is heard saying in response. "You can do it right here," the agent says, pointing to the ground in front of himself. on.nbcboston.com/3phHyWE

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Results matter. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued "cables to U.S. embassies and consulates around the world in June and this month to discourage attendance at France’s meetings and publicly slamming the effort as a “gift to Hamas.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it. It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019. This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

In his entire answer he notably never once denies taking the $50,000.

does this mean Argentina is an unidentified boat off the northern coast of South America ?

C'mon Ohio. Vote the pigs out. If enough people get sick of the BS, then gerrymandering doesn't matter. @democracydocket.com

By the way, when Ingraham asks Homan about the 50 K in a bag, and he doesn’t deny it but just says I did nothing illegal, it’s pretty obvious that it or something very much like it happened. And if it did, crazy to shut down investigation so soon. Pretty clear administration isn’t being straight.

In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trump’s immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didn’t issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trump’s federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on September 22 that Russia will adhere to the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) for one year following its expiration in February 2026 and used threats to urge the United States to do the same.🧵 (1/3) isw.pub/UkrWar092225

I feel like a pretty good rule of thumb is don't take drug advice from someone who can't pronounce the name of it.

I wish people would stop fixating on causes and cures for Autism and neurodiversity more broadly. It's time people listen to us, especially Neurodivergent people of color, women and others who are often excluded. Let actually Autistic and Neurodivergent people take the lead. This shouldn't be hard.

Trump once suggested that injecting bleach could help cure COVID. RFK has a long, long history of peddling medical misinformation to enrich himself. Please talk to your doctor. Please talk to your doctor. Please talk to your doctor.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. Jimmy Kimmel is coming back, but there’s a bigger picture here. Nexstar and Sinclair own the most local ABC stations in the country. Both are waiting on FCC approvals for business deals that could shape their future.

he tried but just could not pronounce acetaminophen so just went with the brand

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

Pressure works. ABC/Disney bought into the image of Trump as all powerful, but they found out pretty fast that everyday people hold a lot of power, too. An attempt to subpoena FCC Chair Brendan Carr is being blocked. Tell your representative to demand an investigation into government censorship. 👇

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered Trump to restore $500 million in frozen UCLA NIH grants. The same judge, Rita F. Lin, previously ordered all UCLA NSF grants reinstated. Lin has now nearly entirely reversed Trump's July de-funding of UCLA research: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Washington doesn't want you to know this… But there’s ONE WEIRD TRICK that ends inflation and recession risks. And I can share it with you TODAY if you act quickly.

Sinclair is Trump-aligned. Of course they're not restoring Kimmel's show to their schedule.

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Notably and unusually, neither Fox News or Newsmax is carrying Trump's autism press conference live

So he's gonna blame moms for their kids' autism. America, you voted for this.

At the end of each day I think things couldn’t possibly get worse because I’m an optimist. But Trump always proves me wrong. bsky.app/profile/atru...

RELEASE THE HOMAN TAPES!!!

Right now: CNN vs Democracy Docket Notice a difference? Support independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

John Roberts liked to think he would be ranked among the great chief justices. And probably that is what everyone he ever encounters tells him. The rest of us think: Step aside, Roger Taney. It's now Roberts on his own.

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

Another poll by the American Research Group out today is just brutal on the economy. The percent of people who think the economy is going to get worse has gone from 25% in September 2024 to 61% in September 2025! americanresearchgroup.com/economy/

Time to speak up is now - FCC open for public comment on this merger that will give Nexstar ( Disney parent co) unheard of influence over more that the currently allowed media stations www.thewrap.com/nexstar-tegn...

#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

Removal protections are gone. Humphrey's Executor is overruled in all but name by the Shadow Docket. Rest in peace to the Presidency, and long live the Monarchy.

Criminals often feel wronged for being held legally accountable for their crimes. Their freedom to commit crimes has been violated by law enforcement.

As @dandrezner.bsky.social notes, we must highlight where Trump's authoritarianism is failing, too. "Civil resistance works. Combined with the inevitable economic downturn, it is what will bring his regime crashing down to Earth." (cites my piece on this) danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-weakne...

She has 6 days to indict Jim Comey. Let's see if a grand jury will deliver.

What was I saying about never getting a moment of peace for wondering if this insane man is going to make his insanity real?

Know what event had a bigger attendance that yesterdays event? Cowboy Carter Tour (Beyoncé)...single-venue shows that sold over 217,000 tickets in one location (SoFi Stadium, Inglewood) and other shows with over 140,000 attendance...with concert goers paying $50-$800 per ticket. WE. ARE. STRONG.

“Trump was better off having Carr’s extortion be public, because it: Established a new loyalty test. Sent an unequivocal message to both the media and public. Created a situation where most future censorship will be self-directed.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

If you’re wondering why the oligarchs propping up a regime would put so much effort into dividing citizens into a zero-sum set of factions, their freedom to engage in rank corruption and profiteering just might have something to do with it. newrepublic.com/article/2005...

Trump donor Larry Ellison’s Oracle will oversee TikTok’s algorithm. His media company owns CBS News and is plotting a bid for Warner Bros., which owns CNN. When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

So the recording show Tom Homan rejecting the money? Wow, I bet they're going to rush to show that to all of us and we're all going to look *pretty* stupid for believing the FBI statement that he took the money as soon as they show that to us, which -- again -- I am certain will happen *very* soon.

Proof that Moms for Liberty are really weird www.davisenterprise.com/news/moms-fo...

In his column for @lawfaremedia.org yesterday, Ben Wittes asked why Trump is in such a rush to prosecute his perceived enemies. “The answer is that—at least as regards Comey—a key statute of limitations is about to run.” www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

JUST IN: Bureau of Labor Statistics: Key report, delayed last week, now out Oct. 30

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

For the first time in decades, America is openly working on the weaponization of space, and Musk’s companies are uniquely well-positioned to snatch up billions of dollars in government contracts for these projects. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
