Trump is releasing the Epstein files! Sorry, I meant the Earhart files.

Returning to a subject I was discussing this morning on X, I think a single video like this does more to radicalize people against ICE than any loaded rhetoric any politician has ever used, and DHS should think very hard about the consequences of supporting this kind of behavior from its agents.

Swalwell: It's an awful day for what's supposed to be a free country. This is a mad king picking off each of his political enemies.

Donald Trump publicly and explicitly told the attorney general to prosecute his political enemy and she did. This is, once again, textbook fascism. Don’t let MAGA gaslight you into believing it’s not.

I'm a reporter not a political strategist, but one answer to the question of "What can the opposition do?" is "Use the extraordinary investigative powers members of Congress have even when in the minority to get new information courts and journalists can't get."

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

UPDATE Open Society Foundation — the foundation started and funded by George Soros and currently run by his son Alex — responds to reporting that the DOJ is investigating the organization:

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

Trumpnomics: When American taxpayers have to pay farmers because they can’t sell to the Chinese.

Shocking new reporting from the Miami Herald: hundreds of detainees MISSING after being detained at Alligator Alcatraz. I’ve got the latest, incl. the appeals court ruling that makes no sense & the financial blackhole DeSantis has put FL in while chasing Trump’s love. youtu.be/5hGJuIgIzYw?...

bully: *punching me in the face* me: hey you're punching me bully: wow ok let's tone down the rhetoric *drop kicks me into traffic*

This is an illegal and dangerous weaponization of the federal government. That Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump admin are breaking the law and exposing private records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served. No veteran's record is safe. www.cbsnews.com/news/nationa...

Children were murdered in their classroom the same day Charlie Kirk was shot and MAGA hasn’t said a word about it, but they’re on day 2 of pretending like a malfunctioning escalator is a national emergency.

This is pathetically childish and beneath the dignity of the White House. Or at least it was until the world’s most insecure man baby was reelected.

"We must make our choice. We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cannot have both." — Justice Louis D. Brandeis

Really disappointed in Kash Patel. Only 1 of 4 bullets had writing on it. There was plenty of space for “The Antifa organization did this” “Signed George Soros” and “Trust me bro”.

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

DHS itself has confirmed that the victims were detainees but Noem and Vance have already jumped to reframe the attack as anti-law enforcement violence.

"Speech... it ain't free no more... If you wanna say something nice about the president's thick, yellow hair, or that he can do his makeup better than any broad? That's free. But if you wanna do a joke like, he's so fat he needs two seats on the Epstein jet? That's gonna cost ya."

THE DAILY: President Trump and his inner circle are making millions of $$ from agreements that intersect with America’s national security interests, a NYT investigation found. Eric Lipton explains why these conflicts of interest are unlike anything we’ve seen before www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/p...

This is very good and reminds me of a point I always make when people say you can’t shame people out of being bigots. You can’t, but you can make them behave better by not creating a culture of permissiveness when they do

Over the weekend, we wrote about how dozens of judges have found ICE's new detention policy — seeking to lock up millions of people facing deportation without a chance for bond — is illegal. Last night, four more judges added to the growing list: www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Here are two minutes of lowlights from Trump’s rambling, hour-long address to the UN General Assembly that Twitter is calling one of the most embarrassing moments in recent US history. Subscribe to zeteo.com for more.

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

I suspect we are, probably for our own mental health, underestimating the degree to which the Trump administration is dominated by the worst swingers imaginable

Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…

Trainwreck. Unhinged. Utterly self-centered. Embarrassing. Insane. I don’t know how you even begin to describe Trump’s speech at the UN today. What I do know is everyone at the UN was hoping they’d be raptured so they didn’t have to listen to it.

Fine. I confess. The rapture isn’t happening today. It’s all just an elaborate marketing scheme I concocted to promote a book I wrote 6 years ago.

Did you know the rapture is going to happen today?? At least that's what the Internet tells me and the internet is always right. My question for rapture believers is are you sure you want Jesus to return right now? I mean really really sure? Cause you might be in for a surprise.

Thanks to Costco, this Halloween we’re gonna be the most popular house in the neighborhood.

It should go without saying, but Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are the last people anyone should be taking medical advice from. A link between Tylenol and autism isn’t just unproven, it’s been thoroughly debunked.

Disney's furious backtracking doesn't change the underlying problem but I am looking forward to Kimmel's opening monologue tomorrow night.

Jimmy Kimmel’s show will return after censorship outrage

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

So many conservative evangelicals don’t hesitate to call other people sinners, perverts, demonic, libtards and a whole host of other names while damning them to hell, but if you call them hypocrites they suddenly clutch their pearls about name calling.

I've been a Christian my entire life, spent years in ministry, earned a few degrees and after seeing the response to his memorial yesterday, felt like I’d be wasting all of that if I didn't offer a defense of Charlie Kirk based on the life & teachings of Jesus who so many believe he embodied so well

It may seem jarring to see folks like Chris Tomlin singing about Jesus at a white supremacist rally but it makes more sense when you understand that evangelicalism has reduced following Jesus to a sales pitch you merely need to agree with to be saved. Things like loving your neighbor are irrelevant

Even in death, the grift never ends.

“LOL” - God

We're at the point where the Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now.

Also note: Preet Bharara says that statute of limitation has ALREADY expired on Adam Schiff's imagined fraud. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Note: One reason Trump may be saying "we have to act fast." The comments Jim Comey made to Congress they want to prosecute were made on September 30, 2020. They've got 8 days to charge it.

The President of the United States is demanding the Attorney General arrest and prosecute his political enemies. Nixon was impeached for way way way less than this. This is not the behavior of a president who believes in democracy. This is the behavior of a wannabe dictator.

I heard the Trump regime may be going after The View now that they’ve taken Jimmy Kimmel off the air, but I bet they try to shut down HBO instead. They’ve got an entire miniseries dedicated to celebrating Antifa.
