Without a Department of Peace, there will always be a Department of War.
I guess Trump and RFK Jr weren’t happy with the studies that said sperm from older men significantly raises the risk of autism.
Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.
So if Tylenol creates autism we’re cool then with vaccines right? RIGHT???? RFK jr is insane, so it POTUS
Thanks for posting it!
Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.
Future generations will speak of Johnny Roberts the way we speak of Roger Taney now, and he’ll deserve every bit of it
Thanks John Oliver
#Pinks #ProudBlue As they have shown us time and time again. 🎯 🎯 🎯
Well done!
We must not allow the federal government to strip Arizona's forests and wilderness of their protections. This is a public land grab by greedy corporate interests—and I plan to stand in the way. Press Release: www.azag.gov/press-releas...
RELEASE THE HOMAN TAPES!!!
Are you okay with this, GOP? Wait, don’t answer that.
Questions for lawyers out there related to the Homan cash bag story. Do you get to keep the money from a sting operation if they never charge you? If Homan did keep it (Leavitt says he didn't), do you think he declared $50k on his taxes? Section 61 says income is income from whatever source derived
AYFKM? Where's the ca$h?
This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.
OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”
AUTISM and TYLENOL A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared. “Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…” Full article:
Gorgeous Sammy and such a smart girl! 🥰
Not only do we routinely see kids dying in ICE custody, now they’re missing nearly 1000 people who were being held in Alligator Alcatraz? HOW THE HELL is this not a stop the presses moment? We can only hope it’s not a Brubaker moment.
We've gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to "4 deals no one really believes".
Rep. Jim Himes: "Having the Defense Department kill alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is illegal...These folks are committing murder — murder defined as killing without a legal basis. I am mystified over why the rest of the chain of command is quite comfortable with it."
Have you seen my wig around?
Damn right — lock him up!!
The Department of Justice has been renamed the Department of Political Favors. Convicted, pardoned and fraud numbers forgiven.
NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN DOCS IN GAZA: “70-80% of our patients are kids and pregnant women… It’s a nightmare… bombing after bombing… We’re making this video because we could die at any moment… Can someone please stop this terror and horror?” Full: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMRReCVY/
We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
Can you say 25th amendment....Now!!
There’s a reason I asked Pam Bondi if she was capable of saying “no” to the president.
We have ceded the moral high ground.
🤭😂🤣
🚨Governor Newsom said, no more masks. “What are you afraid of?” California legislators have written a bill, it has been passed, and signed. 👏🏻More👏🏻Of👏🏻This!
BREAKING: Canada, the U.K. and Australia recognize a Palestinian state despite opposition from the U.S. and Israel.
It’s really all we should be talking about today.
Meet the Press put together a clip of Trump vowing in January to "bring back free speech to America," followed by him saying last Friday that negative coverage of him is "no longer free speech"
PSA: Thinking this is wrong doesn’t make you a “radical” — thinking it isn’t does.
Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨
You're welcome!
Best wishes for a complete recovery.
Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!
🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.
Thanks for the gift article.
... the backlash over the abrupt cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live! is only continuing to grow and spread, and Disney is now scrambling to fix a situation quickly spiraling out of its control. No paywall
There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
Thank you for posting this!

California - Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Unmarked cars. People in masks. People disappearing… immigrants have rights, and we have the right to push back, and that’s what we’re doing.”
Vote with your dollars.
If you're a cable host interviewing Tom Homan, at the very least you need to ask him about accepting bribes to influence government contracts. Or -- hear me out -- you could wordlessly pull a thick envelope from your coat pocket and slide it to him across the table with a stage wink.
How shortsighted can we bee?
We can do better!
HUGE NEWS: Governor Newsom just signed into law our bill to ban ICE & other law enforcement from wearing ski masks & other extreme masks. The No Secret Police Act (SB 627) will help stop the masked secret police who are kidnapping people in our communities. Show your damn faces.
We can do better!
Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh
Hakeem Jeffries's leadership is what Democrats get when our leader is obligated to his donors and not the voters.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once agreed to occupy two different houses as his "principal residence" at the same time, mortgage docs show — the same kind of contradictory pledges Trump has been using to try to oust Fed Governor Lisa Cook (there's no evidence Cook actually did that).
The Republican party apparently thinks that making fun of people’s deaths is absolutely abhorrent, unless the people dying are your perceived political enemies.
Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.
NEW: Reporters at the Pentagon have been told they can no longer report information which has not been approved. Those who refuse will lose their press credentials - Washington Post
Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.
For a month Trump said he was personally paying for the ballroom. Now we learn he’s been shaking down corporations to pay for it who want something from the govt. Another corrupt scam between Trump and CEOs that he lied about. I doubt he pays a penny.
Lovely! Thanks for posting.
I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.
Have fun!
BREAKING: The U.S. attorney who is under pressure to charge Letitia James in a mortgage fraud investigation is resigning, AP sources say.
Damn right!!
The Senate voted 51-47 to confirm the 4 dozen nominees. Last week Senate Republicans made it easier to confirm large groups of lower-level, non-judicial nominations. Democrats had forced multiple votes on almost every one of Trump’s picks, infuriating the president & tying up the Senate floor
They're just beautiful and seem like they last a long time indoors. Thank you.
Beautiful! Thanks for posting.
I talked on MSNBC today about the corruption playing out at the FCC. This isn't just about Jimmy Kimmel being silenced. The FCC is planning to change the rules to allow the company that shut down Kimmel to have a monopoly-like stake in local TV ownership.
Kat is still out there fighting four hours after this. I'm just fucking livid.
The fight goes on to save health care for millions of people. Here's what just happened in the Senate.
the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare
Alex Acosta remains defiant defending his decision not to prosecute Epstein. He “essentially said he didn’t have faith in the victims, their stories and their ability to tell their own story and their own testimony, which is deeply disturbing to all of us sitting in there,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost.
Just the paramilitary secret police manhandling an opposition political candidate.
Ossoff: "There are families in NE Georgia now who will not have local access to child birth services ... I mean, we are the wealthiest country in the world. We should be building new hospitals. We should be building new clinics."
What goes around comes around
The federal vaccine advisory panel, appointed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., voted against adding a combined measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox vaccine to a federal program that covers vaccination costs. The decision reversed a vote taken the previous day,
That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.
There’s a through line between the administration’s attempts to control TV content, sending troops into U.S. cities, and blowing up boats in the Caribbean. The President is a reality TV performer who cares deeply about TV coverage and performances on the screen—to include images of US airstrikes.
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. www.esquire.com/news-politic...
ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.
🎉 BOOM: House & Senate Dems introduce THEIR budget bill to avoid a shutdown, and I'm happy to say... acasignups.net/25/09/18/boo...
Senate went nuclear and it barely made the news: apnews.com/article/sena...
You are here. (h/t @seanhowe.bsky.social)
The House Oversight Committee has voted to table a motion from Rep. Ro Khanna to subpoena FCC Chair Brendan Carr.
So, bondi deleted a government study showing that right-wingers commit more terrorism, and @matthew.flux.community put me onto it. Now there's another copy online here: www.scribd.com/document/918... and also here: www.slideshare.net/slideshow/wh... #USpol #law #terrorism #WhiteSupremacy
Democratic New York lawmakers — as well as City Comptroller Brad Lander — were arrested by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers Thursday after demanding access to an alleged detention facility run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at 26 Federal Plaza.
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
