1 in 5 US Marshals, 1 in 5 FBI agents, 1/2 of DEA agents, over 2/3 of the ATF, ~90% of HSI agents dragged from their duties of investigating terrorism threats, child trafficking and violent crime to conduct Trump’s theatrical mass deportation of mostly non-criminals www.cato.org/blog/ice-has...
On social media Wednesday night, after Kimmel’s suspension was announced, The Onion’s Ben Collins @bencollins.bsky.social wrote: “[it’s] Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love.”
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries issued a joint statement after Republicans unveiled the short-term funding bill, saying that by “refusing to work with Democrats, Republicans are steering our country toward a shutdown.” https://to.pbs.org/4nte576
Democrats need to let the government shut down later this month. Let the Republicans fail. Voters need to “touch the stove.” Hot things are hot. Sharp things are sharp. Parties that campaign on fascist messages “govern” like fascists.
When you see the full joke by jimmy Kimmel you realize there was no joke about Charlie Kirk. The joke was about Donald Trump. The reality is Trump and maga want to make it clear you can not mock their beloved supreme leader.
Trump on Monday said he planned to send National Guard troops to Memphis. The news gives fresh relevance to NPR's recent interview with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who declined to ask for the military.
Now this Benny Johnson Right-wing commentator and You Tuber "We did it for you, Charlie "
Let’s talk about Nepal. Now, I don’t live in Nepal so I don’t know all the details. But I find what’s happening there quite interesting. And so did Al Jazeera. Here’s an interesting read about what’s happening in Southeast Asia and why it’s important. 🧵 ...

Fuck that. Can you imagine??!!
🚨NEWS: Nexstar's decision to remove Jimmy Kimmel comes as the company is asking the Trump administration for merger approval and also lobbying the Trump FCC to end local ownership rules so that the company can buy up more markets.
ANTIFA is an organization now? 🤔
Actually, it’s all just because the Jimmy Kimmel show is losing money by Megan McArdle

Republican Grills Kash Patel On Epstein’s Alleged Accomplices, Lists 20 People
This is how they silenced Stephen King
Trump himself has pressured the Department of Justice leadership to investigate James more aggressively, and two officials -- Ed Martin and Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency -- have pushed the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia to seek an indictment.
Good thing he can't get fired because this is unacceptable speech to the hard right.
'It's genocide': Sanders accuses Israel of 'openly pursuing a policy of ethnic cleansing'
Over 100 progressive nonprofit groups are joining together to push back against the Trump administration’s recent threats to investigate and dismantle left-leaning organizations in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
He doesn't want to know because if he did it would look much worse when he continues to do nothing about it.
Russia needs to be stopped. Permanently. Their goal is to destroy the civilized world and the civilized world needs to stop them.
If you're unfortunate enough to have an R rep, call daily and demand they sign the discharge petition to release all the files.
“You are part of the cover-up”: FBI Director Patel grilled in second day of House hearings
RFK Jr and red flags: key moments from ousted CDC director’s testimony
"Kirk made a career of touring college campuses and engaging in bad-faith debates against ill prepared students on inflammatory topics, striving to elicit emotional responses."
Trump stands at Royal Dinner; reads like a 3rd grader/proclaims ‘we must stand for the values of the English speaking world’ while seated w/ escort wife #3 & across from a King who cheated on a Princess & mom of his kids while his brother was pedoing w/ Trump on Epstein’s Island.
BREAKING: ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. Trump’s FCC chair earlier appeared on MAGA propagandist Benny Johnson’s show and threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcast license if they didn’t take action against him.
BREAKING: First Colbert. Now Kimmel. variety.com/2025/tv/news...
It’s called: fascism.
I'll say again: not a democracy. Robinson was raised by MAGAs and steeped in MAGA culture. He then entered the sinister alt-right digital ecosystem. He happens to be gay, but the presumption that that means he's a leftist is virulently homophobic. Kimmel gets this, and was suspended for saying it.
Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Tariffs 'exacerbate the problem': Whitmer rips Trump for damage to Michigan economy
Tea Pain would like to apologize that he forgot yesterday to mention we should release the #EpsteinFiles. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
WOW -- a screaming Patel crashes out in response to Schiff's questions about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and calls him "the biggest fraud to ever sit in the United States Senate" and "an utter coward" and "political buffoon"
"In May, Witkoff’s son announced Tahnoon’s investment firms would deposit $2b into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency start-up founded by the Witkoffs & Trumps. Weeks later, the WH agreed to allow UAE access to the world’s most advanced & scarce chips, a crucial tool in race to dominate AI."
'Take your dementia meds grandpa': Newsom scorches Trump in brutal fact-check
The War Department has attempted to conceal numerous details about the attack that killed 11 people in the Caribbean... Men on board were said to have survived an initial strike, The Intercept reported last week. They were then killed shortly after in a follow-up attack.

Trump at first says he is ‘not familiar’ with Minnesota Democrat’s assassination
Trump will force all universities to require applicants to submit a two-page essay on Charlie Kirk as part of their application.
Pam Bondi Threatens Charges Over Office Depot Employee Who Refused To Print Charlie Kirk Flyers: ‘We Can Prosecute You’
Fox is the one who reported today that Trump just brought in Andrew Bailey to take his job so Kash can get kicked to Ambassador to Some Place We Never Heard Of, so it seems like Senate Dems are the least of his problems.
Oh, look, they don’t trust the government, either.
We're free to say anything they approve of and deserve to be punished and cancelled for saying anything they don't like.
Trump does his best to avoid events that aren't all about him because he finds them very dull. Amazing that anyone would expect him to sit through all those eulogies when none of them are talking about Trump. That said, maybe he wasn't feeling up to it? The man does not look well.
Honestly this seems dumb if they want to get reelected, but fine, bring it on. If we're inevitably going to crash the economy, let's get it over with.
And all this effort from Trump when she was probably going to vote to lower rates anyway.🙄
Good news Trump can’t summarily fire Lisa Cook And-barring a miracle The Supreme Court won’t be able to stop her from attending tomorrow’s Fed meeting

“Sending in the big force now”: Trump orders National Guard troops to Memphis
'Deeply troubling': Military expert warns Trump is unilaterally 'deciding to kill people'
Pretty easy to feel like this denial is just as true as all the other ones
Why is no one pointing out that he also pleaded the Fifth Amendment hundreds of times in order to avoid incriminating himself before Congress over January 6? Isn't that a pretty significant fact, given that January 6 was a violent armed rebellion intended to overthrow our democracy?
Man Thrown to Ground and Arrested for Trampling On Charlie Kirk Memorial in Chaotic Scene
If you have 30 minutes, I recommend watching this video. I explain what Trump has in store for 2026 and how we can fight back. If you find it helpful, please share it with others. youtu.be/7PXQfDHr9Aw
Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.
On the same day as Charlie Kirk’s murder, there was a school shooting in Colorado… and not one MAGA gave a damn or said anything. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...
'We're fed up': MAGA fury erupts after Charlie Kirk memorial vandalized
"The US insists no one has died because of aid cuts. Shahnaz and her baby's deaths are not recorded anywhere. Neither are countless others. The BBC has documented at least half a dozen first-hand, devastating accounts in areas where USAID-supported clinics have shut down."
The Problem Is Donald Trump, Not Social Media Or Lonely White Men
Nicholas Kristof makes the case for the waste and inefficiency created by the destruction of USAID, looking at the global nature of challenges and the erosion of our soft power. "When we don't address [things like tuberculosis] abroad, we inevitably at some point have to address them at home."
No foreign countries want to come here with that asshole in the WH!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME Brian Kilmeade said homeless people should be KILLED It took him DAYS to apologize Does ANYBODY believe this is genuine-and not something he was forced to say to save his job Bill-you should’ve learned by now “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"

'Hell to pay': SCOTUS justices fear ruling against Trump, leading scholar says
I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.
I said this almost immediately. The guy held no office. He wasn't running for an office. He was not a politician. The FBI has a special authority to investigate political crimes (there was no suspected interstate flight of the suspect and they needed a reason), which is largely why they did this.
“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...
No shit…
Is she talking to Groypers? Because dems just want her to have good health care.
COLD HARD FACTS: 74% of political violence is perpetrated by far-right extremists. ONLY 4% is from left-wing extremism.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
I’m telling you. It’s fabricated.
He doesn't care about American people, either.
It's really starting to look like a racist shot a diet racist and all the racists thought a Black trans person did it.
Elon Musk has gone completely out of his mind. He's ranting and raving violently by the hour now. I believe this is what is called stochastic terrorism. It is a direct attempt to incite mass violence. He even reposted a *hit list*. As dangerous a man as America has ever seen.
I've been saying "buy guns" and get trained for months now. At times, people seem to think it's the same ol' America. Trump is unpredictable. All he has to do is say the wrong thing, even if it's an interpreted dog whistle and these people are going to start kicking in doors. Defend yourself.
Please call your rep and demand that they either roll back the healthcare cuts permanently (obviously preferred) or let them go into effect right away, before the midterms. Dems should not help the GOP postpone the inevitable pain until after Americans vote again. That's politically idiotic.
Trump is a bully, and you don't stop a bully by capitulating. Most bullies are wimps if you actually confront them.
In the midpoint of the decade, it is crazy that my law firm is currently involved in eight redistricting cases. Even worse, as of today, I expect that will grow to twelve in the next month or so. Republicans want to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.
He's telling another country how they *must* run their elections and what their government *must* do.
Thousands return to streets of Georgian capital to demand new elections and release of dissidents
Many thanks to those who wrote in here and elsewhere to note that Elon Musk is also calling for a civil war in the United Kingdom, now. I just do not know where all this leads—but I have the same fear you all do.
America has officially entered its Dark Ages. God help us all—because there's no longer any reason to believe Congress or the courts or media will. We have lost our way to a degree I never thought possible, and I am not going to pretend to have any answers about how we find our way back. We may not.
Trump said on Fox News, "I don't care" in response to a question about trying to pull this country together. Meanwhile, he's trying to get in good with the Taliban.
Now where have I heard this before? Oh yeah...
He went to Dixie, a technical trade school, after just one semester of college but go on.
Trump’s Immigration Police State Is Growing at Warp Speed
Presidents? SCOTUS grants them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. Hello?
