The whole administration in one quote

"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

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

Alaa Abd El-Fattah is free today after years as a political prisoner in Egypt, years separated from his child. He wrote this in 2017 in a letter called “Unlike me, you have not been defeated yet”:

This photo is everything!! (Alaa with his remarkable mother Dr. Laila Soueif, who spent nearly 300 days on hunger strike to secure her son's release)

علاء علي الاسفلت!!!! Alaa is HOME and FREE!!!

Trump is uniquely degenerate as an individual, but I think when the historians are writing about this in a few centuries, they'll focus on the collapse of Congressional functionality from the 1990s onward and the growth of the security state post 9/11 as the primary motive forces behind the crisis.

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...

UPDATE: President Trump and his deputies tied autism to acetaminophen use during pregnancy, presented a cancer drug as a possible treatment, and said the FDA would change labeling to reflect both claims. There is little strong scientific evidence for either.

okay cool kimmel got his show back can GFM get her DC comics run back now

Silver lining, but this is hilarious "We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer," anti-vaccine group Georgia Coalition for Vaccine Choice wrote."

Shaun King pivoting right because the left got tired of his grift is hilarious.

Idk it feels like something is shifting. This tweet was also the language of the AP push alert, and just now the Times chimed in:

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Jimmy Kimmel coming back to ABC after all of this is WILD

That's a LOT of current/former Disney talent. @thr.com $DIS www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

(Reuters) - South Korea's economy could fall into crisis rivalling its 1997 meltdown if the government accepts current U.S. demands in stalled trade talks without safeguards, President Lee Jae Myung told Reuters. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Alaa has been pardoned! So happy for him and his family apnews.com/article/egyp...

Note: Stealth NYT edit. (Thanks to the eagle-eyed reader who saw that!)

What is stopping Colbert, Fallon, Meyers, Oliver from having Kimmel on their shows every night until Disney puts him back on air?

they're gonna double funding for amtrak?

Children's hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, whose detention sparked a community uproar and became a test of counterterrorism powers in immigration court, was released from an Ohio jail Friday as DHS abruptly withdrew its case against him. “This is beyond my dreams,” he told ProPublica.

I want to thank some of you for taking up our call to meet with your City Council member about funding NYC public libraries. We have over half of the districts covered by at least one person. We still have 25 districts that need a constituent to sign up. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I think it's sorta funny. If national Democrats just went along with the will of the people there'd be a pretty normal election and Mamdani would have a pretty standard mayoral election of small national interest. But because they keep trying to push creepy Cuomo, he gets to keep making huge dunks.

A US-funded nutrition program was helping to keep this woman’s baby alive. Days after the program was cut, he died. https://cnn.it/4ndDYbl

UPDATE: Huffpo is reporting the Trump administration "plans to evacuate" the Broadview facility in the wake of recent protests. If you have info about where ICE's processing operations will be happening in the Chicagoland area after this move, I am KMHChi.01 on Signal.

America is already complicit in Netanyahu’s campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and now Trump wants to send him $6.4B more in offensive weapons. Our priority should be ending the war and returning the hostages  — not funneling MORE taxpayer dollars to Netanyahu to bomb starving Gaza.

Liberal Zionism means believing that Israel must remain a Jewish state *and* that Israel can and should be just to Palestinians. In many ways, being liberal Zionist in 2025 is being delusional: 1/8

Trump’s polling started low and has already collapsed by any definition. This has made Republicans cling to him even harder and violently lash out at any dissidents. Casten, and most elected Dems, have it exactly backwards. Do not sit around and wait for them to have an epiphany. Fight them! Now!

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win (h/t @miriamposner.com) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This morning I tried to snooze my dog when she asked to go out and she let me sleep for exactly 9 minutes more, which is also the length of time you get if you hit snooze on an iPhone.

This is why Republicans are going home instead of even bothering to schedule a vote, because Schumer's history and his signals both make it abundantly clear that he's going to cave as soon as possible. Stop doing this! Have you never negotiated anything in your life?

If you appreciate my coverage and analysis— would appreciate some support!

jennifer rubin and bill kristol are now the left flank of the democratic party

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NEW: Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom announced today that they have all recognized the State of Palestine

Would’ve been nice to know as voters were trying to inform themselves on how they’d choose a candidate.

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel. First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

Our problem is not the depravity, corruption, and narcissism of the president and his second rate minions, it’s the cowardly compliance of a great many wealthy and powerful people who could stop him and aren’t.

Was reminded of how back in 2016 a not insignificant amount of op eds were written about how Bernie Sanders must be an antisemite or a fellow traveler of antisemitism because he's against Israel's illegal settlement enterprise. Even Deborah Lipstadt, Biden admin's antisemitism envoy, was in on it.

Thrilled to see growing consensus that Dems must step up in the Continuing Resolution fight. Key to doing so? Refuse to frame this as "shutting down government." Instead, call it what it is - refusing to be an accomplice to turning the government into a weapon against the American people.

this exists it is called thinking

“Pelayo said her dad described being held in a room with at least 150 other men as ICE officers constantly yell at them and call them slurs. He also told his daughters detainees are only given food and water based on good behavior.” These are the conditions at the site of yesterday’s protest.

According to French daily Le Figaro, President Emmanuel Macron and his government are considering closing the Israeli consulate in Paris, expelling members of Israel's intelligence services from France, and opening up a French embassy in Ramallah in response to any Israeli action against France.

From WEB DuBois’s Black Reconstruction in America: “The wide distortion of facts which became prevalent in the white South during and after Reconstruction as a measure of self-defense has never been wholly crushed since.”

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

we're going to win
