I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Excellent. That’s smart policy.

Truth. Tonight we celebrate. Tomorrow we get back to work.

“May you be so rich your widow’s new husband will never have to work another day.” “You should be turned into a blintze, and a cat should eat you.” “May your husband's father marry three times, so that you have not one, but three mothers-in-law.” —old Yiddish curses

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

Almost 42 million people are losing their food aid today.

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund. Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

The peace president is about to start a war.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This timeline manages to be both gravely horrific and deeply unserious at the same time.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

This is an accurate argument.

This is mind-blowing. Truly. What a story. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

🚨Jim Carrey’s fresh out of fucks, and we are here for it!

AOC: I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts. We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

"Advanced imaging" are the important words here.

So “antifa” is really “inflata” and is a bunch of people protesting in blow up costumes.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

It's so ridiculous that MAGAs believe the GOP line that "Democrats want to give free healthcare to immigrants." My dudes immigrants aren't getting free healthcare in the United States. American citizens aren't even getting free healthcare. You know who is? The people lying to you about immigrants.

President Nicolas Maduro says Venezuela foiled a false flag operation by what he called local terrorists to plant explosives at the US embassy in Caracas and exacerbate a dispute between the two countries over drug trafficking u.afp.com/SmfL

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

Televangelist Robert Morris pleaded guilty to multiple felonies for assaulting a 12-year-old girl over several years in the 1980s but will serve a mere 6 months in county jail for his crimes. Turns out “family values” means 6 months for child abuse if you’re a pastor with the right politics.

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

BEHAR: Let's talk about President Trump, because he had a lot to say about you MAMDANI: Dear friend of mine

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

What the actual…?

They want civil war. It’s a fetish for them.

“Obamacare sucks but I love the Affordable Care Act!”

Scoop: Trump fired a U.S. Attorney in Sacramento less than six hours after she told his California border patrol chief to abide by court orders and the Constitution while conducting his immigration raids. With @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

The Trump admin illegally leaked my unredacted personnel file to Jack's allies to try to smear me. The full force of the federal government is being weaponized to defeat me — I’m asking you to help me fight back! Donate here: secure.ngpvan.com/NGY2cCnISU6c...

I read an article about this incident a few days ago and I found it fascinating. It’s cool that Kimmel made the call out. latenighter.com/news/jimmy-k...

As I was saying…

The Kimmel opening. It’s good. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

This. This is how the first amendment work. This is its strength.

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"

“I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled!”

Pretty sure that callous, crude, and controversial speech is almost all entirely First Amendment protected.

The democrats bench is so stacked. It’s filled with so much talent. Such a good problem to have too many good choices.
