Warned about all this 4 years ago when @msnbc.com used to still invite me. I was younger and skinnier, but I was right then and now on this point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArXU...
Today, I was laid off from Cascade PBS along with my entire team and most of the newsroom. I'll have more to say, but I have loved my time as news editor alongside some of the best journalists I have ever worked with. Every time a newsroom closes, stories go with it. The silence that follows is loud
Today was a sad day in Seattle journalism. As someone who read and followed Cascade PBS's work every day (for my job), they produced unique and compelling work week in and week out. This will be a big loss...
In December 2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith asked SCOTUS to grant cert before judgement to hear Trumpās immunity appeal. The court rejected that request and didnāt issue its immunity decision until July 2024. Trumpās federal cases never made it to trial before the November 2024 election.

SCOOP ā Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldnāt risk losing more users with this announcement.
Just as an aside on this: I understand Antifa isnāt an organisation and it seems like Stupid Trump. But I feel the next step will be for the regime to define who or what is Antifa. The parameters are specifically vague so anyone Trump doesnāt like can be branded a terrorist.
Why did THE ASPEN INSTITUTE just remove "...Free, just and equitable society" from their mission statement? The left is their previous mission statement. The right is what they have now. This is shameful and pathetic caving to Trump and MAGA. Shameful.
If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.
BREAKING: SCOTUS will hear a case over whether it should overrule Humphrey's Executor ā in a shadow docket order that also allows Trump's firing of Rebecca Slaughter as an FTC commissioner to take effect while the appeal is considered, which should not be allowed under Humphrey's Executor.
![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 25A264 (25-332) DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL. U. REBECCA KELLY SLAUGHTER, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY [September 22, 2025] The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is granted. The July 17, 2025 order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, No. 25-cv-909, ECF Doc. 52, is stayed. The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment, and the petition is granted. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following ques-tions: (1) Whether the statutory removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission violate the separation of powers and, if so, whether Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U. S. 602 (1935), should be overruled. (2) Whether a federal court may prevent a person's removal from public office, either through relief at equity or at law. The Clerk is directed to establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be argued in the December 2025 argument session. The stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiatn7hy67rd6co3ichuyzatyrlbh6wvclmhfzv25lsb3tgntp2z54@jpeg "Click to view full size")

Trump opens his autism speech by saying āIāve been waiting for this for 20 yearsā.
Marcy is right. Disney wants the bleeding to stop. They will say what they need to now to make it happen. What will Nexstar & Sinclair do? Were THEY in the talks with Kimmel? What about the institutional investors? Is there a stipulation in the deal about what Kimmel can or can't say?
#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

Just to give you a sense of how partisan the decision to cancel the Homan investigation was, Emil Bove, Trump's personal lawyer, discouraged it as a DOJ appointee. This is the same guy who argued for ignoring court orders accroing to DOJ whistleblowers. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Donald never felt love or approval, much less admiration, from his parents. That is why he is so needy. They couldn't ship him off to a fake military school fast enough. Both Mary & Fred had harsh things to say about Donald as a adult. Fred told a reporter he hoped a plane Donald was on crashed.
The Disney boycott has now cost them $3.8 billion and the figure is rising every second. People are canceling their subscriptions to Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN, their vacations and cruises and not buying any Disney products. Stockholders are going to start dumping their stock tomorrow. BEAUTIFUL!!

Here is the truth about the resolution to honor Kirk. His murder should be condemned, he was a public figure as should anyone who is murdered for their political beliefs. But honor him by our government? Nope. #DV1 #ProudBlue @aoc.bsky.social
Amy Coney Barrett did it to Ketanji Brown Jackson in the injunction caseātried to undermine her credibility in the nastiest terms I've honestly ever seen in a Supreme Court opinion. And then it turned out Barrett was wrong. It's a pattern that is constantly repeated and always irritating as hell.
While ppl are boycotting Disney a reminder that Sinclair and Nexstar are also the problem. They started this. Canceling Disney subscriptions hurts Disney but does nothing to Sinclair/Nexstar. We also need to boycott companies that advertise on Nexstar and Sinclair stations.

Wherein I talk about how the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk is being exploited by authoritarians in much the same way Nazi party chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels exploited the death of brownshirt Horst Wessel in 1930.
There is no doubt that he will ensure there are no more fair elections. He now has the Supreme Court to back him up.
Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next yearās vote.
Thereās a simple answer. āDemocrats wonāt vote to fund this regime as is. Itās up to the republicans if they want to shut down the government. Theyāre in the majority.ā
You know what would be Christian AF? If TPUSA and Kirk family donated some of the six million haul they took in this week to the children of Officer David Rose and Melissa & Mark Hortman.
Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.
Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

Stephen Miller in February: Trump has ended the weaponization of government and targeting of political opponents with lawfare. Stephen Miller now: We will bring RICO charges against left-wing political organizations.
If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.

If Tom Homan accepted $50k in cash, on camera, just before the election (per @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social & @carolleonnig.bsky.social ), Dems must immediately demand the entire investigative file and not give DOJ another dollar till they get it. *Our* money is paying for this corruption.
