Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

79. American citizen.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

LOOK ALL AT THE GRAFFITI, SENATOR!!! WE MUST CALL IN THE 101ST AIRBORNE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!! #WarRavagedPortland

When do we choose to end this madness? Because, seriously, until We The People stand up to the politicians and the gun industry, it will only get worse. www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

From Ken Burns' “The 2025 Battle of Portland” 🎶Sweet Betsy From Pike🎶 “Dearest Prunella: As I write to you, a silent war rages in Portland. ANTIFA is the sneakiest foe of any war. Being invisible, they are difficult to find. Please pray for me as I enjoy my delicious coffee. Your Loving Husband”

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

NEW: Days before a decades-long contract between CPB and NPR is due to expire (and would normally be renewed), CPB announced Friday that it is giving nearly $60 million over five years to a newly formed coalition entity. cpb.org/pressroom/Co...

The next time anyone from DOJ so references their agency they need to be immediately corrected. It's now DOR, the U.S. Department of Revenge, which pairs nicely with the new Department of War. The trash who now govern us have outflanked Orwell entirely. They show you the lies and just shrug.

What a grim lineup of headlines.

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

🚨BREAKING: Pennsylvania Supreme Court RULES that election officials violated voter’s rights by rejecting mail-in ballots with technical errors without notifying voters. Voters must be given notice their ballots won’t count so they can challenge the disqualification or cast a provisional ballot.

It seems so wrong that insurance companies have the final say on whether people can get medications prescribed by their doctors. (Or to put it in clearer language, insurers decide IF they want to pay for the medication the doctor thinks you need.)

Trump asks the Supreme Court to rule on its plan to end birthright citizenship 👀🚨😐🇺🇸 The Justice Department wants the justices to issue a final decision on whether the contentious proposal seeking to reinterpret the Constitution's 14th Amendment is lawful. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

Leaders/companies/industries from around the world are all saying basically the same thing. "Irish PM says aligning with Canada 'obvious choice' under U.S. tariffs" More than 700 of them wanted to talk to PM Carney at the UN. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina... "That's just how it is."

David Sedaris is coming to Interlochen. "Cool," I thought... until I saw the price of tickets. The 'cheap' seats are $132. Each. The 'good' seats are $217. Guess I'm relegated to enjoying the books he's authored. And they do last longer.

California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, Oregon and Maine are now in the DOJ's crosshairs. The federal government needs to be reminded that they don’t run elections, apparently. spectrumlocalnews.com/mi/michigan/...

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

BREAKING: The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.

Kimmel’s writing staff doesn’t seem cowed by the events of the past week. @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social

Our local Sinclair station DID air Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday night, sans the "Live" part. It was his Tuesday show that everybody already watched via other sources. If Sinclair tries to claim poor ratings...

Epstein’s network wasn’t about politics. It was about money, access, and pedophilia. Trump’s name is in the files. So is Elon Musk’s. So is Peter Thiel’s and Gates’. When billionaires orbit a known predator, it’s not a coincidence; it’s complicity. It’s power vs accountability.

Musk: Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!

Thorough analysis of the factors that led to enlightenment of Sinclair and Nexstar. Easy to say “they caved,” but better to understand why and how. #JimmyKimmel #Nexstar #Sinclair #RatBoyCarr (FREE article, please SHARE) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

Gift article: "The timing of the event has been of particular concern: The speech is set for Sept. 30, the last day of the fiscal year. If there is a government shutdown, it could leave key staff stranded in Virginia [...]"

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

"At 10:57 the next morning, she emailed Mr. Bovino to reiterate she expected “compliance with court orders and the Constitution.” Hours later, her work cellphone went dark. Then her computer did, too." (Gift link)

p.p.s. It is important to connect Hegseth et al's effort to rewrite history to erase the genocide of Native Americans to the Trump Administration's recent attack on the Smithsonian, including the National Museum of the American Indian nativenewsonline.net/currents/nat...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

The gutting thing is when I speak to anybody under 25 or so, and they… don’t know this is unusual. The only America they’ve ever known is this openly corrupt, broken one.

Why again did the voters hate Biden's inflation?

This is the truth: we are all playing by one set of rules and norms (the old ones), long after SCOTUS and the Executive have clearly signaled that they are not.

Nope. Do not like. I'll not play another EA video game. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

Trump fired the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of California because she told the Border Patrol that she expected “compliance with court orders and the Constitution.” Compliance with the law is, of course, incompatible with being a U.S. attorney under Trump.

Because OF COURSE he did. There is no policy regressive or benighted enough to satisfy the orange sewer clown. If something is — in ANY way — wise, progressive, or forward thinking, he can’t kill it fast enough. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Gift article This gathering of top military officers in one location shows a stunning lack of concern of the risk this poses to our nation. If anything happened, it would decapitate our military. 1/3
