Pam Bondi immediately starts sifting through Machado's past mortgage applications...

Since taking office, President Trump has used his cryptocurrency to accept billions of dollars from foreign entities. Here's our bombshell exposé of a land deal that Hunter Biden pursued in Romania in 2017.

Two dudes whom despite their best efforts have no power in Canada.

Banger.

Epstein !!!

Oh, that’s a good one.

Looks like we know why the GOP really shut down the government. Thanks for the slip, Ted!

All ICE employees are on furlough during the government shutdown. If you see anyone saying they are ICE, they are an imposter and should be dealt with accordingly.

My understanding is that taxes will be pro-rated based on shut-down length.

Trump: ‘Another Thing Epstein And I Never Did Is Play Nude Charades’

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.” Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-isnt-the-media-reporting-on-trumps-d1e

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

“Their accounts paint the picture of someone with a vaguely libertarian bent who despised both major parties and politicians generally (including Trump) but who didn’t engage with politics beyond that. He preferred edgy humor, video games and the message board 4chan”

What?

We should honestly start with the working assumption that the Trump administration murdered these people and buried them in a mass grave. Then, go from there. Make them prove they're alive. If they are, it should be easy to demonstrate.

He really is the stupidest President ever elected.

Today is a great day to cut my cable tv. It will stop a flow of money to stations like Sinclair and frankly I never watch broadcast TV anymore (it's all streaming services for me). I'd suggest other people do the same over the next few days.

Absolutely devastating

JD Vance is doing the Reichstag Fire the right way. by Ezra Klein

Charlie Kirk's assassination is heinous and frightening and warrants widespread condemnation. But it should not protect him or others who engage in such politics of extremism from critical review.

I'd like to report a 2nd murder.

Pretty much all you need to know.

Well, enough of that. Time to move onto the next school shooting...

There is nothing wrong with just saying nothing. The Mars news seems pretty exciting!

A+, would read again

Closes the case on any Trump apologist claiming this isn't his signature.

Rebranding The Department of War to The Department of Defense was considered one of the great PR moves in government history because it prevented the argument “We aren’t at war, why are we paying so much?” Only a total idiot would roll that back.

obsessed with this 21 savage/Amadeus edit

I absolutely cannot believe that O'Keefe released this. I'm sure someone else on the staff threatened to do it if he didn't. Regardless, it really shows the complete corruption of the Trump administration with regard to the Epstein files.

In today's newsletter, I wrote about talking Dan Wang today vs. 2018 and where the discourse might go next

"Talk of a doom loop is a poor diagnosis when UK growth rates have exceeded expectations this year. Even more absurd is excitement that London might need IMF support, despite there having been no significant stress in UK debt issuance." Useful FT corrective. Link follows. ~AA

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

A glimpse into Trump's make-believe world of "giant water valves" in Northern California…

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.
