There IS a word!

This is THE journalist to listen to on this topic. @miamiherald.com -- Julie K Brown is the reason people know as much as they do. Facts. Just the facts. Epstein. 👏👏

Gift article: Broadcast television, as it has existed for decades, is coming to an end. wapo.st/4nwhz92

Pro tip? Political gossip… Watch: Erika Kirk is going to run for the Senate. Former Miss Arizona. Very conservative. Catholic. Liberty University. Next AZ senate race: Mark Kelly, November 2028.

From the failure to prosecute, to the political appointment, to the lack of remorse, and to the current failure to disclose the Epstein files—screams cover-up. We won’t stop until we uncover the truth.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr loved political humor, satire, and free speech…until he started working for Trump. Watch on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCcU... Or listen wherever you get podcasts: link.chtbl.com/PowerLines_S... beehiiv.com/status #kimmel #ABC

In a conversation with Status, MSNBC host Ari Melber talks about the risks of Donald Trump’s crackdown on dissent and what it means for the press going forward. www.status.news/p/ari-melber...

Kash Patel and Republicans won’t tell the truth about the Epstein Files — so I will. I entered into the Congressional Record reporting about Trump being told his name is in the files and Ghislaine Maxwell’s comments to Todd Blanche about Trump’s cabinet.

And don't forget editorial cartooning is satire, @rollingstone.com and @alfranken.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I think we need to officially designate that on BlueSky, Sunday is @atrupar.com day

#rain This is a "rain chain" popular in the SW to direct rain into buckets or water harvesting swales from the canales that drain the flat roofs. They also work on regular gutters. Because this is at the front of the house it goes onto our driveway so we just move 5 gallon buckets in & out. Rain!❤️

Water treatment workers are grappling with how to protect against a new threat: hackers burrowing into the system and wreaking havoc.

I’m in Boston. This ad just came on TV

“What do YOU HAVE? You have NOTHING, you are nothing. You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are hatred, YOU ARE NOTHING. You can build nothing, produce nothing, create nothing."

@maddowblog.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com This seems like it should be at the top of someone's priority list. "But now, he's facing a new threat: hackers burrowing into the system and wreaking havoc. It's not a fantasy or some far-off possibility; it's already happening all over the United States."

Is this really what you want your government to be doing to "educate" (aka indoctrinate) your children? There's a big difference between indoctrination and education. Pat attention! www.npr.org/2025/09/17/n...

I have an imposter so please report @kevin-mkruse.bsky.social

Still at one vote away from filing the discharge petition, which is starting to really reek of political theater

“We will not shop at your stores. We will not tune into your TV and radio stations. We will not send our kids & our money to your universities, or use your services if you are going to enable our slide to authoritarianism.” — Representative Jason Crow

Holy shit. The administration might be evacuating the ICE facility we've been protesting for weeks. If this ends up happening, it's a huge deal. Protests matter. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ev...

Reminder: Music. "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World." 😊

Neil Young brought it at Farm Aid. One of the greatest rock n rollers of all time.

NEW: North Carolina voting rights groups ask a federal court to subpoena election-denying lawyer Cleta Mitchell in their challenge to a voter suppression law, arguing it was aimed at disenfranchising young voters. Her testimony could help show the law’s discriminatory intent.

New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D), warns Trump won’t “leave willingly” once his second term comes to an end. But her victory this November could send a clear message to the GOP that Americans won’t settle for a dictatorship.

Rand Paul tells NBC that FCC Chair Brendan Carr's comments threatening to take action against Disney's ABC were "absolutely inappropriate."

I agree with Charlie Kirk. We must see all the Epstein files no matter how many elites get exposed

Rep. Thomas Massie shared a video of Charlie Kirk calling for the release of the FBI’s Epstein files during Kirk’s memorial. Massie disagreed with FBI Director Kash Patel’s claim that he couldn’t legally release the files. www.rawstory.com/thomas-massi...

“But in the past few weeks, a series of developments have revealed a disturbingly credible policy pathway to power consolidation. We can now see how American Orbánism could take full root before the 2028 elections. We now know how we would get there from here.”

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

I for one am not at all worried that the most powerful people on earth have optimized my society and my brain to be ultra-reliant on the misery machine we keep in our pockets.

I wish everyone at a pro-democracy org or think tank (and many people in politics) would take the time to read this.

He quoted a guy who lied, saying that Biden kicked Trump off social media when it happened under the Trump administration. He did not correct the lie.

I’m more concerned about the editing. They used to have editors over there.

We have to adapt to endure in a post-information age, where we are told there are no facts, only politics. open.substack.com/pub/steveins...

After years of bipartisan warnings about TikTok’s potential national security risks, users may soon confront a different kind of threat, perhaps even worse: an algorithm “controlled by America.”

"Public health mandates exist because individual choices have collective consequences," a reader writes in #PostLetters. "As a parent who has lived through the nightmare of nearly losing a child to a vaccine-preventable disease, I implore policymakers not to undo decades of progress."

Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.
