I bet if they can get him out and bring him here, they will.
Ex-Tex. Documentary producer (HBO/PBS/HGTV/LOGO). Brooklyn ride or die. Make it my business not to spread misinfo when I can help it. Been told I am "exuberant." Also "resilient," but that's a real f'in challenge these days. Do not answer DMs.

WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SUDDEN CONSPIRACY THEORIES, PEOPLE? I THOUGHT THAT WAS *THEIR* PURVIEW . . .
He kinda got it wrong — He thought Mr. Rogers said, "Look for the Hitlers," not "Look for the helpers."
I was watching the video on CNN at the gym this morning — that's where I first noticed it.
. . . as it should.
This will be like the pilot episode of THE STUDIO, when studio head Seth Rogan goes to set . . .
He didn't have that last night, did he?
OOF-A-WOOF . . .
Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.
NYT says this was false.
Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.
Well . . . on the bright side, at least he didn't blame Biden.
translation: senior law enforcement official: the maga chuds are lying
Nope.
Saw that coming.
This, this, this entire 🧵. Per usual, @markharris.bsky.social is spot on.
You know, kids see those videos on their social media, too.
I take issue with the use of the word "debate" to describe what Charlie Kirk did — and they are not the only ones using that word.
"We can live with losing an election because we believe in the promise of the next election; we can live with losing an argument because we believe that there will be another argument. Political violence imperils that." All due respect,@ezraklein.bsky.social, one party cannot live with any of that.
Agnostic here — many (most?) of us also believe murder is wrong. No need for religion to come to that conclusion :)
One of the differences between us and them is they love martyrs. See: Ashley Babbitt Charlie Kirk
Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.
A reminder: He may have dementia now, but he's *always* been loathsome.
NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.
Very good, very rational 🧵 here:
Oh, FUCK.
Next up, I'm sure: A medal.
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
Have you?
SERIOUSLY.
Sheesh, Gavin . . .
Will probably make it a national holiday.
May I add something? You have to set those settings on each of your devices (I know because I just did this).
THANKS.
I did!
Read the room, Grok.
Welp, one is.
I do not understand people wanting to watch a snuff film.
I'm hearing "political violence has no place in America" from people who were more than OK with what happened on Jan 6, 2021.
This made me smile. One of the directors, Gabriel Miller, was a dear, dear friend of mine. Sadly, he did not live to see the film released. He would be so happy to see your message, so I will thank you for seeing the film on his behalf, and for sharing your thoughts.
If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.
He is *such* a coward.
Watched a clip from Fox earlier today about the unhoused in NYC in which Brian Kilmeade advocated for lethal injection and killing them.
Since I can't say something nice, I won't say anything at all.
This is more than they did for the Minnesotans who were assassinated, ain't it?
Oh, MURIEL . . .
ARE YOU GUYS INSANE?!?
Yeah, that's the reason we should be disappearing people off the streets and sending them to places like El Salvador. Because it's driving the cost of groceries up.
“I was kidnapped. The conditions are inhumane. Packed like sardines. A man dropped dead and they just moved us aside… It’s not just criminals. I had all my papers in order. They’re just looking for numbers.” Watch. Share.
Not a gamer nor a habitue of adult content — but one of these things is def NOT like the others.
Audrey Watters put the boot in after the previous uncritical coverage in the New York Times. 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/the-alpha-bet/
Barron ain't taking the subway to school . . .
Isn't that Ghislaine's writing?
Good. Then let him not take the vaccine.
Oof-a-woof.
Gorgeous!!
Enjoy your filthy lucre, lady.
AC-tu-al-ly — it's not shocking at all ;)
I missed the part when Tim Scott had any dignity.
so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived
The administration's 3-point strategy for *everything*: 1. Lie 2. Cheat 3. Steal
. . . just like 47 wants peace by blowing up a boat and murdering 11 people in international waters. Got it.
Gonna go out on a limb and say that most of the jobs also happened after the election, vs. being spread out evenly over the months.
Troops. Are. Not. Trained. To. Police.
The best thing Ezra Klein has ever said and he doesn't claim to have all the answers, but I think the democrats should shut the government down. FREE ARTICLE. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...
It's a very compelling piece, innit?
There is absolutely no universe in a which a bunch of us Blues could walk into a red city and they'd "yield." Nor is there a universe in which Johnson would tell them to.
VERY good point.
In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.
This isn’t at all surprising, given that it’s essentially been publicly reported that Stephen Miller ordered ICE to arrest first and ask questions later, but it’s still worth noting. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... They are not even pretending that they know anything about someone before arrest.
One of my faves:
Today in WTF:
Oh, is it once again time for Democrats to fold like cheap chairs? Or will they finally, *finally* use what limited power they have MAXIMALLY??
Per usual, @elienyc.bsky.social nails it.
One of the crisper articulations of Trumpism I've ever heard www.axios.com/2025/09/08/i...
Kavanaugh left out the part where the immigration officers give you a hearty "Good day, sir or madam" when they let you go.
What is it exactly that SCOTUS is supposed to be doing? Maybe the 6 were absent from school that day?
Dr. Sanjay Gupta just published a book on advances in chronic-pain management, too. He seems very excited about the possibilities . . .
Can confirm. I'm on the documentary side of things. Where once we were a tight-knit bunch, our field has been rent asunder over Gaza.
Due process is just not a thing anymore, is it?
Although my money would definitely be on Melania.
Ah, I came looking to see if someone had posted this already — seconded!!
Thanks for this, as my Silver Palates are in storage!!
We can arrest Brown people merely for existing, but the president can sexually abuse — and even rape? — teenage girls and just go scot-free? What a country.
. . . in the *history* of the entire country.
Here’s the letter that I own that is featured in the Wall Street Journal this evening. Same signature.
Thus spaketh the rich white cis heterosexual man (ie, Kavanaugh).
Oh, yay :)
It’s remarkable how many people believe Congress is weak and the President omnipotent. Congress isn’t powerless — it’s paralyzed by cowardice. Its authority is vast, if only it dared to act.
Good and important piece by @gregsargent.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2000...
I did not — but I am giddy with anticipation about these possibilities!!
This from the man who invented the term "American carnage." This from the man who continually denigrates entire cities in America, anyone who doesn't vote with his political party, or is the "wrong" race, sex, or gender.
Last I checked, "bloodlust" was not an American value.
Boy, this takes the cake.
This is like people with mental illness going off their meds because they're feeling fine.
"Ingratitude" . . . I wonder where he gets *that* from?
I would watch this for the title alone.
They're chickenshit. There's more of them than there are of him. What would he do if they all stopped enabling him and actually stood up to him to uphold the oath they all took?
