If only the useless Merrick Garland hadn’t been AG for four years, we could have tried to do something similar here. Instead we’re stuck with Trump and MAGA and this assault on democracy and free speech and free elections.

State Department to ban immigrants speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. VP to fly his body to Arizona on Air Force 2. Trump to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Journalists getting fired for asking the right questions. We are spiraling into a dystopia beyond our imagining.
Why can’t we have such a Supreme Court? www.npr.org/2025/09/11/n...
White folks try to kill black folks even when Black folks have literally nothing to do with their problems.
James Talarico: We have a lot more work to do if we’re going to defeat the billionaire megadonors who have taken over this country, but this is an incredible start. This is truly a campaign of, by, and for the people
Ezra, he died while defending his false claim that trans people are more likely to commit mass shootings. He called Leviticus 20:13--a verse saying gay men should be stoned to death--"God's perfect law." I agree political violence is unacceptable, but what you're saying here is just not true.
Lookin like Bell's Palsy.
National talking points have been distributed and will be parroted without any notion of critical thought or irony.
They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.
I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe
This is why you don't fill federal law enforcement with incompetent political hacks. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...
#Southaven, #MS: 17y/o #RayelleBurnett was last seen around 11:30pm at the Longhorn Steakhouse on September 7. She was wearing a long-sleeved black blouse, black slacks, and a sparky belt buckle in the shape of capital G. She wears her hair in long dreadlocks.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
active shooter at Evergreen High School, Colorado. Jefferson County, same as Columbine. At least three students shot.
The Trump administration is taking away our Social Security and NOT EVEN HIDING IT ANYMORE. This is the largest transfer of wealth in our nation’s history. America needs to wake the hell up before it’s too late.
the abraham accords face their hardest test yet. israel’s attack in qatar and desire to annex palestinian territory signals shift from deterrence to threat removal. and arab allies are drawing red lines.. www.youtube.com/shorts/2GF3W...
Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Today we had a chance to stand with the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country in uniform. Ashli Babbitt is not that. She is a traitor. She will be a traitor. She died a traitor."
Turns out... throttling the storied Washington Post opinion section by the neck like this doesn't turn it into something new or exciting! It turns it into print newsmax. Or truth social with better kerning or something. This is dime-a-dozen stuff now -- who's asking for this?
COMING UP: The fate of hundreds of unaccompanied minor children hangs in the balance as a federal judge, Tim Kelly, weighs whether to block their summary removal from the United States. At 2 p.m. ET, Kelly will hear argument on the children’s motion to enjoin their deportation. Follow along ⬇️ 🧵
Republicans will blame immigrants for everything, but stay silent on white supremacists, Jan 6th rioters, and school shootings. If y’all really cared as much as you claim you do, you’d call out all threats to our communities—not just the ones that fit your agenda.
News just broke that the Venezuelan boat that Trump struck was not, in fact, headed to the U.S. with drugs. But this story is disturbing for other reasons, and you need to know why. It's another sign of Trump's growing lawlessness. And it's bad counter-narcotics strategy.
Creeper!!! 💥🤬
UPDATE: In the lawsuit, three senior FBI officials fired by Kash Patel say Patel informed them that he was instructed to "fire anyone" who worked on any investigation related to Trump. And said his own job depended on carrying out the firings. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The number one story that the media need to be screaming from the hilltops about is that there is one man and his subservient political party taking all the steps one would take if their goal was to end Democracy and turn us into an authoritarian state. It's all happening right before our eyes.
Larry Ellison is worth roughly $400 billion. Elon Musk is worth roughly $385 billion. Meanwhile, the minimum wage is still $7.25/hour, 86% of Americans stress over grocery prices, and most are living paycheck to paycheck.

1/ This won’t stop until Putin is removed. 2/ Trump and Vance will simp for Putin until they are no longer in office.
Happy Halloween!
House Republicans’ obsession with Joe Biden continues unabated — including during our Rules Committee hearing this morning!

While I fight to lower health care, drug, and housing costs for working families, Ashley Hinson is supporting cuts to Medicaid and policies that favor billionaires over the rest of us. I’m running to change that.
Don Winslow does not hold back! Tell Congress to pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act here: https://bit.ly/4g6NN8x #ResistTrump
Who thinks the reason why Trump doesn’t want the Epstein files released is because he’s a pedophile and is mentioned multiple times in the files?
The Trump Administration is once again failing to do its job — and California is cleaning up their mess. We're deploying state resources to protect the 2,000-year old sequoias on FEDERAL LANDS from the wildfires the federal administration are supposed to handle.
Happy Birthday, California. Here’s to 175 years of always setting the pace.

The Real Epstein List: A survey of the rich & powerful individuals who elevated Jeffrey Epstein, hired him, funded him, enabled him, befriended him, and/or partook of his services.
Trump called Jeffrey Epstein a "terrific guy." So we know he'd want to remember him properly on his Aberdeen Golf Course
Republicans passed a massive tax cut for America's 900 billionaires. Now, everyone else is paying for it. #Trumpflation
Tyson Foods has been shutting down factories across the U.S. due to Trump’s tariffs. These closures, which have occurred in Kansas, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Indiana, Virginia, Arkansas, and Missouri, is creating huge job losses and a significant negative economic impact on the affected communities.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
Trump's abuse of military force should be a huge warning sign of things to come. Listen to LP Senior Strategist Stuart Stevens on MSNBC:
Dr. Tao Sheng Kwan-Gett, chief science officer for the Washington State Department of Health, explains that scarcity is not the only reason states are taking on their own vaccination policies. Another reason is the need, in some cases, for prescriptions.
It’s really that simple.
Take it from a registered nurse: RFK Jr. is unfit to serve. His leadership has been a disgrace, and he needs to resign.

Struggling president Donald Trump thought he could outrun his past. But when his closest ally, Jeffrey Epstein, is exposed as a convicted pedophile, he's left desperate, alone, and haunted by the truth. Forgetting Jeffrey Epstein is coming to a theater near you. Get tickets now 🎟️
Happy 175th Birthday, California! On September 9, 1850, we became the 31st state, skipping the usual territory stage & leaping into statehood. Fueled by the Gold Rush, California quickly became a land of opportunity & has been a state of big dreams. Here’s to 175 years of California dreaming!

UPDATE: We secured the release of a previously secret financial arrangement between the Trump-Vance admin and El Salvador to disappear people from U.S. territory to the CECOT prison. This document shows the admin is not just ignoring due process, it also did nothing to protect people from torture.
Why is Donald Trump allowing Israel to strike our ally Qatar, where the US houses its largest base? Weak president.
Despite being a convicted felon himself, Trump apparently still doesn't know what a "real crime" is. Domestic violence is a very REAL & serious crime. I guess we shouldn’t expect better from someone who pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted cops on January 6th...
So is the GOP now officially the pro pedophile party?
Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.
There's cope temptation to make jokes about it, I get that and have done it too, but it is profoundly dark that the president of the United States is a guy who sent explicit jokes to his good buddy, the world's most notorious pedophile, very obviously about how much they both enjoy raping children.
Donald is having house republicans establish another January 6th committee… it's no question he's doing this to have them paint him in a favorable manner. Nice try but I know what I went thru and America knows what they saw. My latest on CNN substack.com/@harrydunn/n...

La Corte Suprema — la mayoría elegida por Donald Trump — acaba de convertirse en el Gran Mariscal de un desfile de terror racial en Los Ángeles.
No se trata de hacer cumplir las leyes de inmigración, sino de atacar a los latinos y a cualquiera que no se parezca ni suene como el estadounidense ideal de Stephen Miller, incluyendo ciudadanos y niños estadounidenses, para perjudicar deliberadamente a las familias y empresas de California.
La policía privada de Trump ahora tiene el permiso para perseguir a su familia — y todos estamos a riesgo — pero seguiremos luchando contra estos ataques abominables contra los californianos.
Moskowitz: Speaker Johnson, in the spirit of bipartisanship, I think you should really consider putting James Comer in charge of this committee so that he can continue with his service of committees that have wasted countless dollars…
He'll always be "Mr. Unknown Knowns" to me.
Your 47th President of the United States 🇺🇸
I would have expected biggers boobs from Trump
The same Supreme Court that just acted overnight to unleash ICE raids that break apart families and brutalize people in LA, couldn't find the time in 2024 to fast-track Jack Smith's case against a sitting president for trying to overthrow our government. Their priorities tell you everything.
The 3-justice dissent was right:“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, [we] dissent.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...
When the history of this country’s rapid descent into dictatorship is written, Republicans in Congress and the Roberts Court will have been its primary enabler.
This Administration rounded up and arrested California residents, including U.S. citizens and legal residents, based on the color of their skin or the language they speak. This is blatantly illegal, yet the Supreme Court is allowing it to happen while the case proceeds.
russia lately: directly striking key gov’t building in kyiv + jamming gps on von der leyen’s plane. putin not feeling any pressure.
Ew
Trump's massive raid on the Hyundai plant in Georgia is huge news all around the world. But in the US it's barely even reported, much less discussed and explained. Something fundamentally wrong with US media.
Trump: "The people of D.C. are thrilled." The people of D.C.:
Sounds like something an abuser of women would say
Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Trump's tariff policies and broader economic policies are making things cost a whole lot more...From the price of food to the price of activities, they've gone up on Trump's watch...Make no mistake, Trump is making life harder for Pennsylvania families."
