Authoritarian, Miliei, did some DOGE type cuts like Elon Musk and tanked their economy. Bissent wants to prop up Argentina’s economy because it makes what he and Trump did look bad. I find it amusing that a libertarian wants some socialism to bail his country out What happened to America First?
There is only one way to resolve this. RELEASE THE HOMAN TAPES!!!
They say they’re pro life, just not for brown people.
From @hcrichardson.bsky.social: "the U.S. Dept of Agriculture is ending its annual report on household food security." An expert who explains that this is troubling because inflation is up & the job market is unstable, both of which increase food insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
Murphy continues to be a really clear voice
So unifying
What I am really most curious about with Tom Homan: did he keep the $50,000, did he claim it on his taxes, and what do the tax authorities in New York have to look into today that they did not yesterday because of @carolleonnig.bsky.social's reporting?
This is quite the post. 1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes 2. He admits being influenced by online chatter He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.
So what happened to the $50K in cash Tom Homan got in the Cava bag? Was it deposited in his bank account and reported as income that he paid taxes on? Is it under his mattress?
It’s really all we should be talking about today.
Take 30 minutes and watch my analysis of how and why Donald Trump is escalating his authoritarian crackdown on thought, dissent, media and organizations. Then share it with others. youtu.be/4kKtGgh3l5I

Sen. Tim Kaine: "Brian Kilmeade 10 days ago suggested that homeless, mentally ill people should be lethally injected. He apologized...He didn't get pulled off the air."
Indeed it is. The party of Law & Order www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...
After deploying the National Guard against US citizens And violating the due process rights of immigrants Trump engineered the firing of Jimmy Kimmel on the pretense that he made disrespectful remarks about Charlie Kirk Then fired a lawyer who refused to prosecute his enemies Textbook fascism
Just catching up on this. Has Laura Ingraham already been fired by Fox News, or is that coming tomorrow?
“If we don’t have free speech then we don’t have a free country” Might be the only time 47 told the truth….
ILLINOIS — Trump’s Gestapo violently throws female congressional candidate @KatAbughazaleh to the ground to the ground
They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration? Banana republic shit
🚨Jerry of “Ben and Jerry’s,” shares a public announcement explaining his decision to leave the company. Speaking out has never been more consequential to the future of our country. Thank you, Jerry. 1/2
Imagine weaponizing the Justice Department to chase phantom crimes against your political opponents… then punishing prosecutors for not making them up. That’s not America, that’s authoritarianism.
This is who is advising the president of the United States
2022 — a confession:
If you care about climate this is going to be THE newsletter to watch. 15 award-winning newsrooms (including yours truly 😌) coming together to bring you nothing but the best climate-forward reporting you need.
BS. Sen. Lummis feels the same way: speech she agrees with from people she likes must be free from verbal criticism she doesn’t like, while speech she doesn’t agree with should be unconstitutionally censored. The GOP has been remarkably consistent about that, even if it’s not how they worded it.
From Bezos to Iger, the ultra-wealthy men who run America's biggest media companies are auctioning off our 1st Amendment to a wannabe tyrant.
This guy will now decide which jokes are appropriate.
Doesn’t get any clearer than this. We either have a First Amendment and Constitution and free society or we don’t.
This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.
Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.
Again, FCC chair Brendan Carr basically SAID THIS STRAIGHT OUT on Sean Hannity in a quote that nobody noticed: newrepublic.com/article/2006...
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
This is so messed up.
🧵
⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled. Not hate. Not celebration of death. Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known. Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
former CDC official Dr. Houry: "I first learned that the secretary had changed our CDC covid vaccine guidance on an X social media post. CDC scientists have still not seen the scientific data or justification for this change. That is not gold standard science."
I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.
NEW VIDEO: Beto O'Rourke and I discuss how Republicans are trying to steal the midterm elections, and what he’s doing to stop them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFzU...
"The DOGE team, and Bisignano, have prioritized scoring quick wins that allow them to post triumphant tweets and press releases — especially, in the early months, about an essentially nonexistent form of fraud — while squandering the chance for systemic change at an agency that genuinely needs it."
I don’t suppose the judiciary committees in either chamber are going to do hearings anytime soon on the number of people who made large donations to Trump in various ways only to see their criminal charges dropped or pardoned.
The Trump administration ordered several National Park Service sites to take down materials related to slavery and Native Americans, including an 1863 photograph of a formerly enslaved man with scars on his back, one of the most powerful images of the Civil War era. nyti.ms/4nyyyaQ
Trump is literally threatening to have his Justice Department go after reporters who are asking him questions he doesn’t like
This is the same guy.

So the white dude from Fox News said we should kill mentally ill homeless folks, he apologizes and they’re good; @karenattiah.bsky.social posts an accurate quote and says she’s not in the mood to mourn and gets bounced.
Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome
"As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald."
Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?
You can tell Ted never had a summer job. I’d dock his wages for that slop ass effort.
Wow that is a real powerful image. Had to share it with you all.

I don't believe in political violence, but if you try to "euthanize" homeless military veterans or any other homeless person, you're gonna have a real big goddamn problem with me.
Donald Trump and his right wing MAGA propaganda machine are preparing to use Charlie Kirk's murder to go after the transgender community It is critical that those of us who are not transgender-especially if we are CIS gender Be prepared to step up as allies

😞 😣 ugh!
Read every word of this. Millions of Californians can now be profiled by the color of their skin and the language they speak, thanks to the Supreme Court. This is not the slippery slope. We are already on the slide towards dictatorship.
Sociopaths typically exhibit traits such as a lack of empathy, impulsivity, deceitfulness, and a disregard for social norms and the rights of others. They may manipulate and exploit relationships for personal gain, often showing no remorse for their actions.
Nick Fuentes also bragged that Donald Trump has told him that he likes him, after being invited to dinner at Mar-A-Lago back in 2022.
Good for you and sorry for the hassle. Here in CA, I made my appointment online with CVS as usual. No muss, no fuss.
I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...
the wsj coverage of the shooter might be one of the worst and most irresponsible handlings of a story i’ve witnessed in the last 10 years
Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.
When do we get a retraction from The Wall Street Journal for erroneously claiming the assassination was related to trans people? When do we get apologies from every journalist who spread that disinformation?
Post a team you would send instead of Bongino and Patel.
There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.
What a truly disgusting week for American journalism.
electrek.co/2025/09/09/t... I don't know if wave power will ever pan out, but it is so tantalizing. All that kinetic energy, visible to the naked eye, but ready to corrode and beat the crap out of anything you put in it. All the designs make me think of the wacky early days of human flight.
Immigration judges are told how to rule in immigration cases so when the hearings are over, ICE can detain innocent immigrants. One judge was told to dismiss the case so the person would be vulnerable. Legal avenues are blocked for guaranteed illegal detainments and deportations.
The Evergreen High School shooter’s social media accounts were filled with white supremacist content, posts exhibiting a fascination with mass shootings and reposted videos that “were explicitly antisemitic or depicted people in Nazi uniforms. coloradonewsline.com/briefs/everg...
“The left MAKES me do crime! It’s their fault!”
Awful: Sen Tim Kaine reached out to numerous GOP Senators to ask them to join his letter laying out basic questions for Trump about drug boat bombing, Senate staffer tells me. Zero Rs agreed. On the pod we discuss this & deeper legal issues w/ @sranderson.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2003...
While we were distracted by Charlie Kirk, the incompetence of Kash Patel, the conviction of Jair Bolsonaro and the GOP voting not to release the Epstein files Republicans in the Senate were busy deploying the nuclear option by shredding the filibuster Thanks so much, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema
For those concerned about recent assassinations, these 11 merit scrutiny.
1/ New report from @bentleyallan.bsky.social's Net Zero Policy Lab: As the US withdraws from green tech industries and pressures allies to follow suit, China is stepping in to power the developing world's energy transition. The scale is staggering. www.netzeropolicylab.com/china-green-...
I’m an American. And I don’t care who leads, as long as someone does it. Thank you for your reporting.
We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.
“We can now point to specific heatwaves and say, ‘Saudi Aramco did this. ExxonMobil did this.’“ Study links oil giants' emissions directly to dozens of deadly heatwaves [via @theguardian.com]
Research published this month found that even in pristine, untouched areas, insect populations are still on the decline. Climate change is a likely culprit.
#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth On one side, climate deniers. On the other, climate doomers who say it's too late for climate action. Doomers are attacking climate scientists and convincing would-be advocates not to take action. It's amplified by bots and trolls. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...
The markings that supposedly expressed “transgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.

We're close to reaching a chilling moment; the first time in history where the single largest group of people arrested by ICE in the interior and held in detention are people with no criminal record. The gap is now down to fewer than 300 people.
For all the haters including the president who are telling us that liberals own political violence. You’re so wrong. It’s 76% right-wing and 10-25% left-wing.
Breaking News: California passed a bill allowing the names of doctors, patients and pharmacists to be omitted from abortion pills mailed to states with bans. The intent is to protect providers and to reassure patients who fear they could be identified.

As your healthcare is being obliterated and SNAP benefits ripped away from hungry children, the fossil fuel industries will reap the benefits of new taxpayer-funded subsidies under trump’s Big Billionaire Bailout Bill. The GOP are not on your side. www.wired.com/story/us-tax...
Doug Ford could have bought one of these for the new Northlander. Many hydrogen trains use fuel cells from Canadian Ballard. Green hydrogen can be produced in Ontario using electrolyzers made in Ontario by Accelera. Storage tanks and fuel systems are made in Canada by Westport. Many skilled jobs!

This is fantastic work and my only problem with it is that it had to be done at all, but such is life.
The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him. If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.
This is bone chilling : www.justsecurity.org/120296/many-...
