"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

Staggering to me that a common sense approach like this is reported to essentially be DOA. How about we start assessing everything through the framework of: - does this make us more healthy? - does this make our planet more healthy?

Seems like Martinelli doesn’t have it tonight. Wish Mikel would make a change early. We have good options in Trossard & Eze.

@bjnovak.bsky.social dropping an Infinite Jest reference on NYE made my night — fewer rats, not less. I don’t even know if that is grammatically correct but it gave me a chuckle.

Get Merino off asap plz

Blatant bullying, plain and simple.

big question of the night: why didnt NYC like the billionaire backed groper who killed their grandparents

Extraordinary how many establishment Democrats really wish they didn't have a talented rising new star who connects to people by talking to them and understanding what their interests are, then speaking to those interests. Like a job where the new guy makes everyone look bad simply by doing the job.

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom. This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US. The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

Hi @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social, we're friendly, we've been on each other's shows. We both agree Kirk's murder is horrific. Q: was Kirk "practicing politics in exactly the right way" when he called for me to be deported because he didn't like my Covid views on MSNBC? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

The heart of God breaks with every act of deadly violence; every life ended by another by greed, anger, envy, revenge, or retribution. Blessed are those who mourn, and blessed are the peacemakers.

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.

According to my friend and divinity school classmate Bishop Matthew Heyd of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, Yeonsoo Go, daughter of an Episcopal priest, is being detained at a facility with no beds or showers or hot food. ⚓️

NPR and PBS received ~$85 million last year in federal funding. Trump’s golf trips will cost taxpayers over $100 million this year. Republicans think kids learning to read is wasteful spending and indoctrination, while giving a blank check to their cult leader to golf isn’t.

The fact people care about a "client list" from Jeffrey Epstein rather than restitution for his victims shows conspiracy theorists never about justice for these girls. They cared about weaponizing his horrific actions to "expose" their enemies.

Sometimes calls for prayer are sincere and sometimes they are an argument: a claim that this is God’s fault and our choices and policies have nothing to do with it.

“We are now being faced with a series of choices between the demands of the federal government and the teachings of Jesus, and that is no choice at all.”

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.

No rule or system that allows a few people to have all the resources for vanity and power while billions suffer and millions die should be respected or recognized; the rule is far more dangerous then ignoring it ever could be; the system is far more dangerous than replacing it ever could be.

Allowing Netanyahu to drag us into another endless war in the Middle East would be a catastrophic error by President Trump and Republicans in Congress. Every lawmaker needs to ring the alarm against U.S. military action in Iran. Only Congress has the authority to declare war.

nobody in attendance for a tank show in Washington? Is this a military parade or the last 4 months of the Wizards’ season????

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

THE EXTENDER HAS BEGUN TO EXTEND

Tyrese Haliburton has still not shot a free throw this series.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Having Stephen A. is bad enough but him AND Kendrick is just brutal.

Let’s goooo!

If I could change one thing about US culture, it would be this unshakeable and absolutely backward belief that life must be earned, and generating profit is how you earn it. Life is a human right. Profit must be earned, and those who want to earn it must respect human rights in order to do so.

Remember when Trump fans railed against Zelensky’s lack of decorum for not wearing a suit to the oval? I wonder where a hideous, self promotion baseball cap during a commencement speech ranks on the decorum outrage scale.
