“If a Democrat wins in 2028, what’s to stop them from turning the D.O.J. on Trump officials or unleashing the F.C.C. on Fox News?” she said. “Trump is setting a precedent that will .. haunt the right and they’ll have no leg to stand on ..” @peterbakernyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...

This is demonstrably pathetic and a sign of true weakness. The Feds lack the numbers to do what they want to do. They can hurt, yes, but not at the authoritarian scale that (de facto President) Miller desires. So they go for the media-bait illusions of power. Like this. Profoundly weak flex.

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

They're not even bothering to actually try to construct a narrative of why Portland is in danger and needs to be "protected." They're just invading a Democratic city to show that they can, and hoping to incite violence in response.

Trump is releasing Amelia Earhart records for no reaso….. oh of course

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

This is an outrageous privacy breach, probably criminal. Weirdly though, it's also arguably the best thing that's happened to Sherrill's floundering campaign all year, finally giving her a chance to go on the offensive

New on MSNBC: According to the court transcript, only 14 of the 23 grand jurors voted in favor of indicting James Comey on the two counts that went forward.

Folks had no idea who owns their local TV stations - until large, faceless corporations, Sinclair and Nexstar, said they can't watch Jimmy Kimmel because of politics This is why they've been warning us: media consolidation is a threat to democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jimm...

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in a Democrat who won her election in a landslide just so he can block a vote on the Epstein files. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.

The 6 GOP SCOTUS Justices are rewriting the Constitution without the consent of the American public, and there's no stopping them.

Stunning

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court greenlights Trump's "pocket rescission" of $4 billion in foreign aid appropriated by Congress. Kagan, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson, has a sharp dissent. She says this "result conflicts with the separation of powers." www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

"Free Press has been concerned for decades about media companies becoming too consolidated and beholden to political power with government entanglements regarding merger approvals and policy changes that they … soft-pedal critical reporting of those in power." - @timkarr.bsky.social @theguardian.com

If I was Donald Trump I would not be drawing the public’s attention right now to my ability to release files

Yet again, the GOP supermajority steps in to allow Trump to break the law. The case will be decided on the merits later, it says, when the damage cannot be undone. But in the meantime it is giving the Trump administration a green light to engage in impoundment.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

The City Council on Thursday approved the Chicago Fire’s plan to build a 22,000-seat soccer stadium on The 78, the South Loop megadevelopment site along the South Branch of the Chicago River, clearing the team's last major hurdle before breaking ground.

Over a few days, Trump "offered two of the clearest statements imaginable about his top domestic- and foreign-policy priorities: vengeance against his political enemies at home and an upending of the globalized world order internationally," writes @sbg1.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

The City Council approved the Chicago Fire FC’s plan to build a $650 million soccer stadium at a vacant South Loop lot known as The 78. trib.al/hAGg9U6

It's absolutely fucking insane that Trump can just arbitrarily raise the prices of whatever he wants. This is untenable.

“Let's not mince words here”

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

There are literally farmers all over America losing everything since they can’t sell their products because of Trump’s tariffs who are glued to their TV sets watching Fox thrilled that their hero indicted Comey. The tractor’s getting repossessed, but Trump owned those libs again!
