Watch: “In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York’s Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism – an event largely forgotten from American history.“

“Mr. Kimmel said he had learned of Mr. Colbert’s cancellation while at a “No Kings” demonstration, a protest against the Trump administration, with his family.”

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

Former energy secretary Rick Perry's data center real estate firm, Fermi, went public today. The stock jumped 55%, valuing it at $19 billion and minting 3 new billionaires--despite the firm having $0 in revenue. New from me + @kylekhanmullins.bsky.social @forbes.com: www.forbes.com/sites/kylemu...

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein never got kicked out of Wall Street’s VIP club. His banking and investment activities before his death were more widespread than previously known, including accounts at multiple banks.

If you are following the story of The Pentagon's new policy, nicknamed, "you must check with us before you dream of doing any journalism," you may enjoy this update from @status.news

There’s footage of the suffering chimps in this documentary. It’s really sad. The idea that any parent or adult would DENY a child a safe vaccine against diseases like polio that are preventable and potentially devastating…. Honestly? It’s sick.

Watching a Jane Goodall documentary. There’s a part where the chimps suffered a devastating polio outbreak in Gombe. The outbreak started in humans. She and her team vaccinated the chimps because the vaccines save lives. Unreal that our HHS Secretary is actively trying to convince us otherwise.

This is illegal

I am told that furloughed Department of Labor employees were instructed today that out-of-office messages should blame Democrats.

Republicans bragging about a $62.6 billion tax increase on American consumers. We’re in the Upside Down, folks.

As regular readers of my bad posts know, this account is very interested in Gov. Pritzker as not only a 2028 candidate on-paper but as someone who is trying to model a kind of post-Trump version of 'wartime liberalism' that makes concessions to things Trump exposed but tries to use them for good 1/n

CUOMO: What percentage of people that you serve are on Medicaid? SCOTT TURNER: You know Chris, I can get back to you with that CUOMO: Is it a significant portion? TURNER: You know, I'm not sure

Trump and his cronies spent the day trying to blackmail Democrats into giving him a blank check for his lawlessness. It won’t work. We don’t bow to wannabe dictators who use the American people as bargaining chips.

SAY THAT! “Bruh, fuck this shit.” 🔥

Raids of construction sites are not helping!

First decline in ADP construction payrolls since 2021. (via Kev Gordon)

I do not think she is entirely telling the truth about this either. In the OBBBA they have $29.9 billion for immigration enforcement, $45 billion for detention, and $2 billion for border processing, all of which is still available to be spent.

The government shut down will affect none of this. Not only are ICE and Border Patrol normally shielded from shutdowns by being deemed “essential,” but the huge sums in the OBBBA could even mean that they get paid during this time (although Noem is currently suggesting they won’t).

I just received this statement from ICE re: Barbara Mariana Gomes Marques May in which they can't even be bothered to get her age right (she's 38.) She never received the notice to appear in 2019, and was at the final step of her green card process with her US citizen husband when she was taken.

“DOJ headquarters declined to provide lawyers to assist Halligan, and FBI agents and lawyers working to prepare her were denied their request for a para-legal professional to assist in the presentation, according to two people familiar with the matter.” www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/p...

I moved to DC at 22. My wife moved here at 21. Her daughter is being ridiculous.

Rep. Lisa McClain, on CNN, praising President Trump for deploying the National Guard to Washington: "My daughter could actually ride the Metro for the first time since she has been in DC." [Her daughter is 22]

It's important to name the tools of authoritarianism so we can identify and condemn them with precision. I'm glad we now have a term for ICE's openly racist, degrading immigration arrests: Kavanaugh stops. slate.com/news-and-pol...

JUST IN: Federal judiciary discloses it can use alternative funding, including filing fees, to continue operating through Oct. 17. Earlier statement suggested it might curtail operations after Oct. 3. Stmt: www.uscourts.gov/data-news/ju...

It's like a Choose Your Own Hatch Act Violation.

Literally the whole address was about identity

Adding "feds fucking choking a man in broad daylight" to the list. Absolute terror across Chicago today. Begging for national attention that matches the level of crisis on the ground here feels like screaming underwater at this point.

Also today, feds arrested four people in Bronzeville outside a church-run shelter:

After the Trump administration sought to privately email some crucial spreadsheets instead of filing them on the public docket, a judge scolds: "We have no secrets here. The government needs to file everything publicly and needs to do so now." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Of which there was none, obviously not, because the entire idea that the situation was going to end up like The Raid is a fantasy.

Chicago: “The Border Patrol official said that snipers rappelled down from helicopters on top of the apartment complex, as a precaution from potential violence.”

As someone who wrote a book literally titled WHITE FLIGHT, I’d just like to say that the argument that *whites* were the victims of violence in neighborhood transitions is so laughably racist it’s almost insane.

We sued because ICE arrested Leo twice for being brown on a construction site and refused to believe his REAL ID was real. DHS responded today by calling our case "garbage," "race-baiting" that will "directly contribute" to more assaults of ICE officers. bit.ly/3KvED9R

Hate to psychoanalyze but this is what u get when you have formative years as described in here: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I'm pretty sure the country is not ready for this health care premium apocalypse. This is the time for the mainstream press- especially local news- to talk to people about these disastrous real-life impacts. Food & rent are already too high. Now many will be unable to afford health insurance.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Medicare telehealth is bipartisan. It's wildly popular. But year after year, Congress has refused to permanently fund it—which could have protected it from the shutdown.

Dissent isn't grounds for deportation. If the Trump administration's arguments are adopted, it would grant them unconstitutional and unprecedented power to censor our speech.

Imagine thinking the problem with Ta-Nehisi Coates is that he doesn’t devote adequate mental space to thinking “No, it is The Blacks that are the problem.” Fuck off out of this universe you fash-milk racist cow, and take all your “oh but I’m just asking questions” sealion friends with you

*Pursuing* everything. Dang.

Today I wrote about a general tendency to accept atrocious premises, and the need to reject fascism's false choices in order to find expansive and imaginative paths forward. Breaking the premise, embracing the obstacles, pursing everything. www.the-reframe.com/there-is-no-...

Russ Vought is a very dangerous man. He frequently embraces the unconstitutional and illegal. He should be far better known for the threat he poses to the rule of law.

G’mar chatima tova to everyone observing Yom Kippur. From Uptown to Crystal Lake to far beyond the bounds of the Ninth District, countless people are solemnly reflecting on the previous year and looking forward to the coming one. I join all of you in wishing for a better, more conciliatory world.

JHC. #fascism Via The Hill: “Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will attend the 2026 Super Bowl, where Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny is set to headline the halftime show, according to Corey Lewandowski, an adviser at the Department of Homeland Security.”

No need to be scared of him. The trend is clear - everyone outside of his hard base is abandoning him.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA. I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Shutdown rules aren’t neutral. They favor agencies aligned with GOP priorities, while those aligned with Democratic priorities bear the brunt of furloughs. Furlough Rates: EPA: 89% Dept. of Education: 86% Dept. of Labor: ~75% DHS / ICE / CBP: ~0% Bad incentives → biased outcomes.
