Romanian Air Force intercepted a Russian drone over national airspace, - Antena 3 CNN Two F-16 jets scrambled from Fetești Air Base at 18:05 to respond to the threat.
Release the EPSTEIN files!
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.
GOP strategist sets off historian after complaining about White House 'fascist' label
As the White House redirects counterterrorism personnel and funds toward mass deportations, a state-level scramble is on to preserve efforts once supported by Washington. The result is a patchwork approach that leaves many areas uncovered. (Published May)
Charlie Kirk's assassination is heinous and frightening and warrants widespread condemnation. But it should not protect him or others who engage in such politics of extremism from critical review.
So, is the right gonna scream at us for daring to point out that this is literally what the Nazis did? We're not sure what is allowed these days.
We’re about to find out whether the corporate media knows that groypers are right-wing.
It may be a long time before the United States can look at itself in the mirror and see what it saw after World War II: the proverbial shining city on a hill, a model for other democratic nations. www.salon.com/2025/09/12/t...
They just said out loud at the presser that one of the engravings says “if you read this you are gay lmao”
Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot
Documents from Edward Snowden published by The Intercept in 2017 show the NSA’s use of Palantir technology.
Kash Patel has an SJC oversight hearing on Tuesday. I wonder how he would respond if asked whether he gave Trump advance notice that the Kirk suspect is just a too-online gamer boy raised by Republican Christians?
New Mexico is set to become the first state to offer free universal childcare. The state's Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, announced free childcare for all families, regardless of income, a move estimated to save families $12,000 per child each year.
Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
A legal analyst highlighted a comment by President Donald Trump that shows an alarming lack of respect for the criminal justice system.
⚓ ANNAPOLIS: Yesterday's false threat was traced back to a former midshipman (student) on Yodel. One midshipman mistook a police officer as the rumored shooter, and clubbed him with a drill rifle. The officer shot him in the arm. Both are stable and receiving treatment. Source: People I know

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.
Ezra Klein on Charlie Kirk: "Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" Donald Trump on Charlie Kirk: "Anyway, right over there you see the trucks, they just started construction of the ballroom for the White House"

FEDWATCH: “.. underneath the tariff blanket is a bleak picture of tenacious price pressures of everyday necessities that are affected by tariffs, and although lower weighted in CPI, they nonetheless add up to over 5 percent, which is enough to affect a future release with an upside surprise.”
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.
NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.
AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.
Trump: "They took the unselect committee that investigated stuff. It found out that we were right on everything. They burned all the information because we were right on everything. Nancy Pelosi knew -- I told her, I said, 'I'll give you 10,000 troops.' January 6."
Must be nice to not have oligarchs on your Supreme Court.
BEGGING a serious journalist to use the Kirk assassination as a springboard for a deep dive into the current state of FBI/DOJ domestic terrorism monitoring/prevention.
Political violence is a sign of a nation that is insecure The idea that random violence is a virtue of a society is mortifying Charlie Kirk condoned political violence against enemies of his political ideology He used his voice to support this insecure society where random violence is a virtue
Serious question: Did he have a stroke?
Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.
Hey @wsj.com : you gonna retract your bullshit, thinly-sourced reporting or nah?
The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.
REPORTER: What's your reaction to Russia's drone incursion into Poland? TRUMP: It could've been a mistake
The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
Who would have guessed?
Putting hyperpartisan liars in charge of federal law enforcement has bad results.
It's important to note that the shooter's ID and motivation(s) remain unknown. As our colleague @markfollman.bsky.social wrote when Trump allies did the same thing after the attempted assassinations of the president, experts warn that allegations like these can fuel more political violence.
This explains it better than I can

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.
Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.
HAPPENING NOW: The Trump administration withdraws its claim that parents of the Guatemalan children it tried to send back last month had requested their return. DOJ says it has no basis for that claim now in light of contradictory info provided by the Guatemalan government.

Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota
This is as bad as it sounds.
I love how NOW it’s a “political assassination” but not MN representative Melissa Hortman and her husband. Cool, cool.
Trump released a video tonight promising to "find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity, and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it."
So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.

In Sean Williams’s apartment, police found a list of 22 first names, one of which was accompanied by the word “baby,” along with an entry that read “no name girl.” At the top of the list was an underlined word: “Raped.” Why wouldn’t they investigate?
Last night, Poland recorded as many as 19 airspace violations by Russian drones coming from Belarus. Polish and NATO troops were forced to engage Russian targets over NATO territory. If NATO doesn’t set clear boundaries here, these probing missions by Russia won’t stop.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "I got elected in 2018 by flipping a Trump district. It was a district no one thought was winnable... I won with 51% of the vote. I want to take that playbook of running aggressively, of using unorthodox campaign tactics to be able to finally break through in Texas."
“It’s really everyone — not just noncitizens or undocumented people — who are in danger of having their liberty violated in this kind of mass deportation machinery,” said Cody Wofsy, the deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project. (Published March)
I learned what no true bills were from @lawfaremedia.org, useful thing to know about in the new era...
President Donald Trump's ability to blame his predecessor for the deteriorating economic conditions in the United States is running out, the Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote on Tuesday.
Context for this: a reporter asked Trump last week why he's never gone out to a DC area restaurant and Trump got extremely testy in response. Now we--and he--are being reminded as to why he usually hides in the WH.
Swalwell: He’s telling you not to see your neighbor being chased through a Home Depot parking lot because he’s just trying to work hard and provide for his family. And he’s telling you not to see the drawing he made for Jeffrey Epstein.
Not the brightest bulbs.
Not just any bar, but The Brown Jug, a B1G institution.
I'm firmly of the belief that attacking Trump tangentially can be more effective right now than attacking Trump directly. So it's worth nothing that JD's true lord and master, Peter Thiel, is deeply implicated in Epstein's corruption.
