Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

This is what can happen when a motivated, skilled attacker compromises critical web applications. Your EDR (assuming it's even on your web server) won't save you.

YES. 💯 percent this point.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey. I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

The random people who called into this C-SPAN session had better questions for Mike Johnson than most corporate media outlets

This photo is not from recent anti-deportation protests in Portland, Oregon. The image is more than a decade old and can be geolocated to Toronto, Canada. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Now that’s cool. Something that was theoretical for decades now has not only direct evidence of their existence but two of them together!

I see from CNN that Canada’s economy is in “crisis”. A word of unsolicited advice to everyone: don’t believe a single word any US media says about Canada. None. They don’t know shit about us and they don’t care. It’s in the US’ interest to describe us as being in crisis. Not ours.

Louder for those in the back.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

I understand this too. If they can come for the least of us, they can come for all of us.

In light of Judge Immergut's ruling, there's a lot of noise today coming from the President's advisers and supporters about courts not having the power to provide prospective relief against domestic uses of the military. Via "One First," me on the rather significant early precedent to the contrary:

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

The regime keeps losing in court because what they’re doing is illegal

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

Seems important that the Speaker of the House does not even try to dispute that the president is unwell.

If the dems shut down the government the GOP will do mass firings, as opposed to the mass firings they've been doing for the past eight months, and the ones they'll continue to do after the dems cave.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Autistic and neurodivergent friends, I'm so sorry. Y'all deserve so, so, so much better than what this ableist society and ruling class is doing to you. Solidarity always.

Autism is not a "disease" or "epidemic". Autism has a strong genetic component. There is no evidence that vaccinees or Tylenol cause autism. Access to autism diagnostics have dramatically increased as reported rates increased. Neither Trump nor RFK Jr are scientists or medical professionals.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

"If you don't let me live in the fort I built in your garage without your permission, I'm going to be SUPER MAD AT YOU!!!"

America has a CHILD in the White House. Feel free to criticize @realDonaldTrump at any time, as he sure loves attention..........

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

We asked major AI chatbots to help craft a phishing scam. They did. From fake charities to urgent pleas, the bots delivered. This investigation shows how generative AI is fueling fraud — and why it’s so hard to stop. Read our findings here: reut.rs/3K400yU

Didn't have much time to look at this earlier in the week, but catching up on it now: Apple Corp's top-level overview on their "Memory Integrity Enforcement" technology designed to dramatically increase the cost of breaking into next-generation iPhones security.apple.com/blog/memory-...

Hey, fellow humans. Just a gentle reminder that horrible things and malicious acts exist alongside miracles, art, and acts of kindness. It's good to keep the whole picture loosely in mind, but to focus your camera mostly on what strengthens you and allows you to play your best part in this story.

Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted

‘Maybe we need the same level of turmoil and concern when innocent kids are killed in school. Everyone’s talking about Charlie Kirk. Maybe we should be taking about all the kids who’ve been shot’ - my 16yo’s comment

Let's not mistake the DNC for certain democratic leaders. The DNC shares Mamdani content. The DNC loves prop 50. The DNC wants the Epstein files to be released. When elected dems say certain stuff, they're not speaking for the national party. Just FYI.

The CDC doesn't understand disease control. The EPA doesn't understand environmental protection. Now it's clear the Dept of Energy doesn't understand energy. This administration is populated by imbeciles.

Eating healthy

Yes.

GRAND JURY NULLIFICATION! Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...

“This is the biggest thing we’ve dropped since ‘the ball’!”

Divisive politics have led people to go “no contact” with their right-wing parents. But some think they can potentially salvage their relationships with their loved ones and even “deprogram” their MAGA parents—by starting de facto “book clubs.”

Tesla paid $0 in taxes in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024 despite reporting $6.7B in profit. SpaceX has likely paid little to no federal income taxes since 2002. Elon Musk’s net worth is $364B. Our tax laws are written to benefit billionaires. www.muskwatch.com/p/how-spacex...

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

Trump himself votes by mail He does not have this power (& wouldn’t allow a Dem president to control state elections this way) Creates pretense to challenge midterms if GOP loses ground as expected Distraction from Epstein files www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

In retrospect, probably the most correct thing I've ever written is that the real danger of Trump's voter fraud conspiracy theories in 2020 was not actually overturning the results, but turning the GOP into a massive anti-voting, election-denying cult www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020...

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
