The WSJ's editorial's title? "Dr. Prasad, the FDA's Grim Reaper"

A fire at a synagogue in southwest Florida days before Rosh Hashanah is being investigated as a hate crime, police say.

WSJ Editorial Board is not happy / “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is disrupting the Health and Human Service Department in nearly all the wrong ways… Blocking a therapy for late-stage melanoma will cost many lives.” www.wsj.com/opinion/dr-p...

"So while the names of the players and some of their rhetoric may change, the essence of the MAGA movement will not. Nor will appropriating the language of Jesus or the Bible will not make those with hate or greed in their heart holy."

On Sunday, we saw the future of MAGA. It was Trumpless. And you'll never guess who's going to replace him as the face of the party. My latest: www.thedailybeast.com/the-maga-mov...

Huge range of possible outcomes between these extremes: 1. This is all performative nonsense so Trump can claim victory over antifa on Fox 2. Trump uses the EO as a pretext for an authoritarian crackdown on domestic protest

Erik Siebert’s resignation emphasizes Trump’s feverish pursuit of becoming dictator-in-chief. Mimi Rocah examines his reliance on Pam Bondi and his plans to expedite the hiring of loyalists across government.

I guess losing $7B in stock value in under a week & likely facing hundreds of millions in wrongful termination & breach of contract suits… …makes such “meaningful conversations” & this outcome possible.

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel to return Tuesday.

In dissent as to the stay, Justice Kagan — joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson — lays out the lawlessness of the majority plainly. "Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars." Order/dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

BREAKING: SCOTUS will hear a case over whether it should overrule Humphrey's Executor — in a shadow docket order that also allows Trump's firing of Rebecca Slaughter as an FTC commissioner to take effect while the appeal is considered, which should not be allowed under Humphrey's Executor.

For context, the Public Integrity Section (PIN) was the most prestigious section of the Criminal Division of Main Justice of DOJ and attorneys who worked there went on to become Attorneys General, U.S. Attorneys, and federal judges. No more. Examples include Eric Holder, Jack Smith, etc.

Heard on the Street: Fund manager Mark Spitznagel sees stock-market conditions akin to 1929, the year Wall Street crashed.

“The DOJ was my home for many, many years. That home is now on fire,” Jack Smith this past week. [this is how most former DOJ alumni feel] Thanks to @muellershewrote.com for covering it. substack.com/@muellershew...

Speaker after speaker at this memorial is explicitly likening him to Jesus Christ. (Slain in early 30s, etc.) Don't know how this goes over with people raised in other faiths. Having been raised as a church-going Protestant Christian, I say: What the hell! This is not how Christians talk.

Jack said there’s nothing he disagrees with Donald Trump on. That's not leadership.

Jack has voted to raise your taxes at every level of government.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

A major fissure within MAGA: the rampant antisemitism. It was tolerated to support Israel and crush Palestinians and Muslims but...here it is. jewishinsider.com/2025/09/tuck...

🧵The sick part Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Hegs et al are literally preparing their followers to take up arms for a rightous battle on our shores. Exactly what Ginny Thomas & the 1/6ers wanted. Let’s see where & how many armed brown shirts will be on the streets for mid terms. THIS IS NOT FUNNY.⬇️

Jack Smith: "The Department of Justice Was My Home...That Home is Now On Fire." Former Special Counsel Jack Smith delivered remarks at George Mason University this week, warning of the weaponization of the Justice Department under the Trump administration. www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-jack-s...

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes. That’s what this is.

Undoubtedly, Christian nationalism is having a moment. It must be challenged, writes Rep. Jared Huffman.

The hosts of Big Weekend Show said that Trump was giving Dems “fodder” by calling for trials of his detractors.

I found this to be a good read

This is heartbreaking and unnecessary

WSJ Editorial Baord: “Most Republicans are afraid of uttering even a syllable of disapproval about the Trump Administration, so kudos to Ted Cruz for noticing the danger from Brendan Carr’s use of regulatory threats to stifle free speech.” www.wsj.com/opinion/ted-...

Worth noting that for all the false claims by Republicans that Democrats are a bunch of antisemites, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to say that there is discrimination against people who are Jewish. @juliezebrak.bsky.social

On Thursday’s episode of The Ben Shapiro Show, the host said that it was wrong for the FCC to go after ABC.

This week,The BS rec’d a letter from MARIO GUEVARA, the only known journalist detained on US soil by ICE. For wks, we’ve worked w/ his family to obtain Mario’s handwritten letter + the 2 drawings of his cell. The letter is also available in Spanish. bittersoutherner.com/journalist-m...

They said they also found it disturbing that, even in hindsight, Acosta would not admit that mistakes were made and was not apologetic about how his actions led to other victims being abused by Epstein. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

Democratic congressional leaders, on a break from the hearing, described Acosta’s testimony as “defiant,” “unremorseful” and “evasive.” And he claimed the victims weren't credible. What a POS. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...

Ted Cruz on Brendan Carr threatening ABC over Jimmy Kimmel: “That’s right out of Goodfellas… We shouldn't be threatening government power to force him off air. That's a real mistake.”

Essay: Child psychologist Ellen Braaten often does media appearances, trying to reassure parents and kids in the wake of school shootings. She used to tell her audience that the adults in their lives do everything they can to keep them safe, but she doesn't say that anymore. We haven’t. We don’t.

Gen Z are the most likely generation to lie awake thinking about money—a staggering 7 in 10 can’t sleep because they’re so stressed about rising prices, rent and job security. trib.al/uKMMAVU

that was quick!

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action
