The premier of Canada’s most powerful province — and arguably the country’s most successful politician today — has gotten under Donald Trump’s skin again.

Good thing SCOTUS didn't give Trump a blank check by bogging down Presidential prosecutions into a multi-year ping pong game between them and lower courts. It took a lot of help for him to turn us into a Mango Republic...

The trend is real, but this NYT analysis at the Congressional district level has big ecological bias Poor *areas* vote Republican, but it's often the richer *individuals* within those poorer areas that are most Republican And many poor *individuals* rich blue urban *areas* vote Dem

Trump: ‘Another Thing Epstein And I Never Did Is Play Nude Charades’

Sinclair and Nexwhatever have a right to run networks premised on reactionary douchebaggery.

I don’t really have anything to say about this jamboree that Hegseth is calling at the Pentagon until I know why

Hard to make a better case for bored decadence than "I am very upset about hearing that the president of the United States had to walk up one flight of stairs, it must be a conspiracy, this is personally victimizing me, I'm a victim."

Undersold in the dialogue: USDOJ still ate shit and got no-billed on a third of the charges they sought

Trump always goes missing or has bruises on his hand on the 24th of the month... apparently this only matters to the US media if it's Biden

JFC... "The comments by Ms. Bondi on Monday appeared to reflect a broader effort by the Trump administration to punish anyone who has celebrated Mr. Kirk’s killing 👉or even people who denounced his killing but continued to criticize his political stances."👈 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/u...

Well this is quite a statement from the Utah County Attorney in regards to Kash Patel www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

My usual reminder: charging instruments like the information in this case are accusations to be proved. They do not independently establish facts.

Wait, you bitches are getting the fancy, name-brand cocaine? Normal people out here just getting by with store brand LIKE THE POORS!

Without knowing the specifics of the charging documents, this is basically irrelevant under New York law. The difference between First Degree Murder and Second Degree Murder is just a list of aggravating factors, and the only real difference is that First Degree is eligible for life without parole.

among countless others, she could have spared us a second Trump term but preferred an overly complicated prosecution that overpaid her unqualified boyfriend...there are many kinds of corruption that have landed us in this Trumpian hellscape

must be something wrong with my internet, I just woke up and tried to find the massive Democratic party pushback to all these attacks on the first amendment and nothing's coming up in my browser

Everything about the last nine months says that NYTimes is going to find a way to fold.

DOJ has moved to drop the charges against still another person accused of assaulting law police during Trump's D.C. surge. This case involved a man who allegedly tried to flee from ICE agents, causing one of them to scrape his knee. (The normal number of cases DOJ drops like this is near zero.)

chuck's gotta go, man just can't even pretend to meet the moment we're in, you cannot be out there talking about bipartisan funding for the health care system when the VP is threatening your constituents with loss of employment and freedom for speaking their minds in public

A lawprof "said that, in order to prove fraud, prosecutors would need to establish that Ms. Cook misled her lender about her intended use of the property." But two newly disclosed documents from the lending process describe it as a second home and as a vacation home. Pulte, of course, is unappeased.

I can't believe we're on Day 5 of this bullshit. How much longer can they drag it out?

You “regret” mistakes. This was not a mistake. They deliberately shackled these people and distributed video of them being humiliated. They detained them for days after. What they regret is that, this time, their gleeful anti-immigrant violence wrought negative consequences for the administration.

3d Cir. holds "it should be painfully obvious" that no reasonable officer could believe it is constitutional to fabricate evidence to frame a suspect so long as there was otherwise probable cause to arrest him. No QI for officers. www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/231...

This one is pretty scary. In part, the reasoning of the Court is that it suggested hostility to the school's religious beliefs for a state official to (accurately) call the school's conduct discriminatory against the trans student. That's a big problem.

The most striking aspect of governance under Trumpism and MAGA is that, in practice, it is exclusively a politics of cultural grievance. But the left's purported excesses that fuel that grievance come not from Democratic policy or the party itself, but from cultural expressions outside politics.

Wildly unconstitutional proposed law which as written would make it illegal for an employee to even *ask* an employer to use their preferred pronouns, or even to *mention them,* not even in a request. Just facially unconstitutional for multiple reasons.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

This could work as a rhetorical device — you know, this paragraph saying “not only do they have malice colloquially” and then the next paragraph says “but also legally.” But, no. They don’t do that. They just carry on.

This week's "hate speech isn't free speech" calamity has, somehow, reached another new low: The president of the United States suggesting that speech he finds unfair to him is hate speech, and targetable by the Justice Department. We are in deeply dangerous territory.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi. “Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.

I am just remembering how adamant some people were on here that this was a PROFESSIONAL HIT.

Let's just say I'm in a marginalized group targeted by the current administration. Why the fuck would I want to put my name on any list? I can still GO to the protest, but they don't need my name. Signed, Someone on Governor DeSantis' DEI watchlist

When I’ve said Trump’s moral development is at the stage of a toddler’s I wasn’t trying to be funny. This is from Kohlberg’s Stages Of Moral Development. (BTW, Kohlberg found only 10-15% of people reach the most advanced level of moral reasoning, as it requires the capacity for abstract thinking)
