I appreciate tonight’s Grinch themed AAC title game between the Mean Green and the Green Wave.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Just months ago, President Trump sent a letter to the Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, demanding that the authorities drop charges that Jair Bolsonaro had attempted a coup. Now, Trump has all but admitted defeat, Jack Nicas writes in a news analysis. nyti.ms/4irUaEA

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

To understand how dramatically Trump has transformed federal law enforcement into his own personal political instrument of power, Emily Bazelon and @rachelposer.bsky.social interviewed 60 of the hundreds of Justice Department lawyers who have resigned or been fired. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A new episode of APH is out today! Historian Candice Millard discusses what it was like to see her book, Destiny of the Republic, be adopted into the hit @netflix.com miniseries, Death by Lightning, & what drew her to Garfield’s story in the first place. Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Trump bragged about grappling women by the pu**y & barging into rooms of partially dressed, young pageant contestants. A jury concluded he assaulted E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room. So nothing that’s in the Epstein emails is a surprise. It’s just confirmation.

If flights have to be cancelled, why not start with private planes? The smaller the plane, the fewer people you impact.

“Don’t agonize, organize” is good

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field. In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront. By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:

Finishing the latest season of Nobody Wants This so my wife can talk about it with her coworkers. 🤷‍♂️

Trump's America

All of these companies should be forever associated with destroying the White House.

"The fact that the nomination got this far illustrates how much antisemitic and hateful rhetoric has been normalized, explained away or rewarded by Republicans in power," @katierogersnyt.bsky.social writes of the Ingrassia case. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

When a Microsoft data center opened next to the small Mexican town of La Esperanza, locals say electricity outages and water shortages grew severe. The local doctor rushed patients a half hour to the nearest hospital when blackouts cut off his oxygen concentrator. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/t...

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

who among us hasn't talked about loving Hitler or worked tirelessly on behalf of a person we called "America's Hitler" or talked about sending our political opponents to gas chambers or incited a wave of hatred of immigrants with vicious lies

A miniseries about James Garfield, Chuck Arthur, and Charles Guiteau? I am SO in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jop...

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

Miller has Fascist Hissy #3 today after another court ruling. This one from a judge appointed by radical left marxist Donald J Trump.

Aug. 26: Stephen Miller says "the Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization." Sept. 25: Miller put in charge of coordinating a federal campaign to prosecute "domestic terrorist organizations."

Mayoral Candidate Wilson Withdraws from KOMO-Sponsored Debate, Citing Sinclair's Censorship of Jimmy Kimmel The debate will go on, Wilson said, if the right-wing broadcast company reverses its decision to pull the show from its markets, including Seattle publicola.com/2025/09/25/4...

The first public media station to go dark thanks to Trump’s cutoff of federal funding to public media is a 70 year old station in Pennsylvania. https://loom.ly/IjOHdzI

After Trump’s FCC chair, demanded ABC take action against against Kimmel for his comments on Kirk, Nexstar, the largest operator of ABC affiliates announced it would pull Kimmel from its stations Then ABC said it was taking Kimmel off the air Nexstar is seeking FCC approval for a $6.2B merger

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse

Robert Redford passed away today If you were to watch 1 Robert Redford movie this week, what would it be?

It’s crazy that we have a system where the president can sue anyone he wants but nobody can sue the president.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

this is fucking horrifying

I'm working on a story for NPR on how high housing costs are causing some people to have fewer kids, or no kids, than they planned. Is this you and you're open to being in the story? Drop a line with a bit about your situation, where you live, + your phone number to [email protected]. Thanks!

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

Every House Rules Republican just voted to block the Epstein Files Transparency Act from advancing.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

What Lawrence said.

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year. (Published July 2024)

Nine grafs deep into the article and we find out: "Pentagon officials were still working Wednesday on what legal authority they would tell the public was used to back up the extraordinary strike in international waters."

🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."

#Manufacturing purchasing managers are severely depressed: ❗️"Tariffs wreak havoc" ❗️"Too much uncertainty" ❗️"Unstable" policy ❗️"Worse than Great Recession" ❗️"Layoffs" 15% ❗️"It's survival" ❗️"Made in USA more difficult due to #tariffs"

One more for the file marked "stories that would have wall-to-wall coverage if the president was a Democrat"

People can’t afford to see a doctor

More Abridged Presidential History content is coming your way 🇺🇸
