New interview! On the GOP and the DOJ, the Comey indictment, and why Trump keeps getting what he wants www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1bp...

Real post on another network:

News --> Steve Bannon tells me he fully expects Trump to use the Texas ICE office shooting as the hook to unleash law enforcement on liberal immigration groups by connecting political violence to anti-ICE rhetoric. This is going to get ugly. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2009...

@kenklippenstein.bsky.social with the receipts, actually talking to the shooter's friends. Surprise! Not the left, or even MAGA. Another white kid who spent countless hours online and "was an edgelord who wanted someone to get blamed … to rile people up.” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

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...

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

The Vichy Dems abetted genocide, built cop cities, countenanced sedition, viciously attacked fellow Democratic representatives, including my former rep Cori Bush, and belittled their own voter base. The Dems know how to use power. They use it to help Republicans and hurt vulnerable people.

I am biased but I don’t think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.

Even crazier, a guy also named Brendan Carr wrote a whole chapter in Project 2025 about what Brendan Carr just admitted to in a gif! www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

The Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into ABC, Sinclair, and the FCC. We will not be intimidated and we will defend the First Amendment.

But wait, there’s more

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This is a key point.

We don’t gotta ever hand it to Karl Rove but this vividly illustrates how far the right has fallen into fascism that KARL ROVE is trying to be the voice of reason.

it’s hard to see ezra’s actions as anything other than a shameless attempt at self-preservation

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

Shorter Ezra Klein:

How is this supposed to work for me when the proposition being put forward is that Black people lack the intellectual capacity for public life and not enough of us are in prison?

The right have launched an all-out attack on liberals and the left, in the wake of the Kirk killing, pushing narratives about left-wing violence and the need to investigate liberal nonprofits and Schumer and Jeffries are totally AWOL. The Dems are leaderless. Shocking.

I assure you @moderation.bsky.app this is not an image of "self-harm" 😬

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

"Kirk was not just putting on a show. He was a dedicated proponent of ... an authoritarian politics that backed the repression of opponents and made light of violence against them." @jamellebouie.net again says it precisely and with receipts. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/o...

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

*shooter might be any kind of minority* “We’ve got to stick more people in jail” *shooter comes from right wing family* “Nobody remembers what we were just talking about”

How the nation's newspaper of record is running cover for a fascist: A story in two skeets. First, below, Trump is asked how he's holding up in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. Trump clearly doesn't care. He's already moved on. He's more interested in his new ballroom than Charlie Kirk.

And yet! Here is how the New York Times portrayed Trump's relationship with Kirk yesterday. Trump is a monster and the Times will still do whatever it takes to humanize and normalize him

Community note on X

this concludes the mourning portion of our program

It’s also worth noting that as soon as it became clear the Trump shooter had no real legible politics and certainly not from “the left” he completely vanished into anonymity. No one knows his name.

Charlie Kirk's body gets a personal escort home from the vice president. Meanwhile, back in April, neither President Trump nor anyone else from the White House bothered traveling to Dover Air Force Base to greet the bodies of four fallen soldiers.

I’m so tired of democrats and their appeasements.

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom

There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump. That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate

The lionization of Charlie Kirk genuinely proves the point about centrists and leading media figures. The man dehumanized women, minorities, transgendered people, Muslims, etc was building bridges by debating others on these views that all these people are less than human. What a great guy.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

This explains it better than I can
