Seems unfair to have a Reichstag Fire every few days when Germany only had the one.
Here in Illinois, we are proud to continue expanding access to health care in our state. Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans in Washington are cutting funding for services — and now even threatening to shut down the federal government over it.
Yeah, we are pretty dumb though.
Ryan Routh, today found guilty of assassination attempt on Trump last year, then tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen. Florida courts allowed him to represent himself at that trial ... ... because in that state he seems pretty normal.
Hey Billings you know what to do #mtpol #kimmel #nexstar #Montana
Private equity executives don’t go broke, just the funds they manage.
"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.
It's cracking me up that he doesn't even bother to continue pretending that any of this is about Charlie Kirk
Reminds me of how the Koch brothers funded the “grass roots” tea party.
Donald Trump’s inability to ride an escalator raises new questions about Joe Biden’s orthopedic sneakers
sbgi.net/tv-stations/ Here are Sinclair’s ABC stations nationwide. CALL CALL CALL
🚨 NEW Pro Left EP! "The Wheels on the Cross Go Round and Round" We missed the rapture! Why Trump's regime feels like Chicago's Daley machine on fascist steroids, how dead podcasters become Confederate monuments, and what happens when your only promise is chaos. www.buzzsprout.com/229/episodes...
BREAKING: In place of Jimmy Kimmel’s return, Sinclair and Nexstar will broadcast 90 minutes of Ezra Klein criticizing you for not reading “The Bell Curve”
Sinclair is asking Jimmy Kimmel for an apology? They have it backward. They owe him an apology. #FreeSpeech #BringJimmyBack
It was a virtual purge of Black women from so many federal and military positions. Just fired for no reason other than Trump taking revenge on Black women for daring to bring charges against him for shit he did and then running against him for President.
Don't call them weird though, thats mean. 🙄
He keeps bringing up sharia law then mak8ng new business deals with MBS.
"kristi noem and corey lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together" absolutely cursed sentence
Sinclair and Nexstar are still fascists breeding hate so they are the next dragons to slay.
"A few weeks ago, I was complaining bitterly about how the New York Times routinely resorts to weasel words, euphemisms and third-party critiques to avoid speaking the truth about Donald Trump. But in the last 10 days..." Froomkin senses a shift, led by Peter Baker presswatchers.org/2025/09/is-t...
Am I the only one or is this a first step by Republicans towards no longer viewing the abuse of 14-year-old girls as pedophilia? TBH, it wouldn’t surprise me at all…
Good on you ladies.
Trump decides to own shutdown by canceling meeting with Dems he'd just agreed to. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-b...
Some of us do.
i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended
Just thinking about translators today for some reason. . .
Under privatizer-in-chief Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano, the Social Security Administration has weaponized agency data, injected chaos into the phone system, and misled the public on agency performance.
Disney advertises on Sinclair stations.
Better yet, for folks who have Sinclair and Nexstar-owned stations not airing Kimmel tonight, DO watch whatever they’re putting on in its place & see what local businesses are advertising. Contact those businesses and let them know you’re boycotting them until they pull their ads. Hit ‘em in the 💰
Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money. Which is why boycotts work.
From me: Trump essentially took responsibility for a government shutdown in the most overt and clumsy manner, setting up a political fight well for the Democrats despite their own haphazard positioning. prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...
Say no to Sinclair. Say no to KOMO. Seattle deserves better!
If you live in #AZ07, tomorrow is Election Day! My friend Adelita Grijalva is running to fight for southern Arizona in Congress, and I’m proud to support her. Find where you can drop your ballot or vote in person at IWillVote.com/AZ.
"'Whatever our views on border enforcement, immigration enforcement, immigration policy, I think the overwhelming majority of the American people does not want detainees abused while they're in U.S. custody,'" Ossoff told NPR in an interview." My Senators! Both are heroes.
Pritzker: "MAGA Republicans in Congress may be in control now, but in 2026 they will not be unless Donald Trump does something to change this country fundamentally. And that is what he's trying to do ... we Democrats are going to win in 2026, but not if Donald Trump is allowed to cheat."
🤷🏼
Duh. Winning.
So, was the rapture yesterday in Australia or tomorrow, I always get it confused.
I'll see if I can put in a word for you, but only if it's a cool place.
That one cent more than I pay in the UK!
I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.
If a loved one said to you the things Trump said at the autism press conference, you’d get them a mental health evaluation. This is disgusting.
... AOC has no need to say she's a Christian. ... AOC has no need to walk around with a Bible in hand. ... AOC has no need to display a Christian cross on her chest. ... AOC is doing what good people do.
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: In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS allows Trump to dismiss the last Democratic member of the Federal Trade Commission, signaling a potential overturn of a 90-year-old ruling protecting independent agencies from executive control.
Meltdown on "Truth" Social in 5... 4... 3... 2...
the sycophancy for trump aside, very hard to overstate the arrogance of this majority in dispensing with a precedent that has served this country and both of its political parties well for nearly a century.
I consider myself a Christian, and these guys seem to lack so much self awareness.
RELEASE THE HOMAN FILES!
Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.
Republicans would rather shut down the government than restore health care funding. If Republicans want Democrats to help pass their government spending bill, they must bring health care back for millions of people in this country.
I half think that even if a billionaire tax leads ultra-wealthy people to flee the country, it's probably still good on net. leaves them less able to buy the political system
We’ve portrayed media moguls as vicious infighters and power players but when actually threatened, they’re folding like cheap suits. I’d call them little bitches, but little bitches would fight back harder.

Trump is losing. #BoycottRepublicanBusiness
trump used his speech at The Kirk rally to radicalize his followers to attack Democrats. He did the same when he radicalized people to attack the Capitol on Jan 6-now he wants them to attack us. Please take the seriously. www.mediaite.com/media/trump-...
at some point israel realized they could kill up to about 100 (known) people per day without anyone who mattered pretending to care, and that is what they have been doing in the "not a genocide, it is blood libel to say so" for almost 2 years
Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"
Should I watch clips of the Charlie Kirk funeral, or wait till Leni Riefenstahl edits it all together?
I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.
My only mainstream media source is MSNBC but they too are devoting all air time to MAGA honchos praIsing one of the meanest and hateful personalities in our time. Is there no other news in the world? I'm shutting my IPad down. 😝

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.
How is it possible that every MAGA internet personality is openly supporting violence against the left, while simultaneously blaming the left for violence against Charlie Kirk that was committed by someone on the right?
Democrats must impeach FCC chair Brendan Carr over Jimmy Kimmel. Yes, we know Dems don't have the votes to actually impeach Carr. But they can use the threat of impeachment to fuel the narrative of how the GOP is coming for our freedoms. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/heres-why-...
Seeing a lot of people say Trump deleted this post. He didn’t, he just edited it to include Lindsey Halligan’s full name. The post is still up on Truth Social.
A woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein at 14 is asking the Supreme Court to rule prosecutors violated her rights by secretly cutting his 2007 non-prosecution deal. Her lawyers argue the government should not be allowed to sideline victims in such secret agreements.
MSNBC clip where Tom Homan’s corruption was reported. Trump, Kash Patel and Todd Blanche called it an improper investigation and shut the case down. I’m guessing this is why Trump sent Bondi the tweet to prosecute Adam Schiff etc, to distract from the Homan story.
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.
Look who’s pouring illegal weapons on European streets. Just a reminder, that there is no such thing as hybrid war. Russia is at war with you. Calling it hybrid just means you’re not fighting back. #UkrainianView #UAView

Tom Homan to join Harvard’s Institute of Politics
Kirk is not a modern day St. Paul, despite what Cardinal Dolan says. The only thing that such myth-making achieves is fomenting resentment, curtailing dialogue, and stifling action to otherwise prevent this tragedy from happening again, says John Grosso.
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.
Four members of the Missionary Sisters of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and their driver were killed Sept. 15 in a road crash in northern Tanzania, cutting short a journey that began with a joyful religious celebration.
Funny, not everyone gets this treatment.
To know him is to love him.🤔
This is it, but people are too gullible and mindless to realize it.
The thing about unchecked power is it often makes grave mistakes. One of the reason Putin decided on the folly of war with Ukraine was the lack of those willing to tell him he was making a grave error. I fear @realDonaldTrump will stumble into a war, costing troop’s their lives.
Journalism, where self-immolation is a thing.
Susan Collins hasn’t held a town hall since Bill Clinton was president. I’m holding 21 town halls across the state in the next month.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸
This fucking idiot thinks he can stop us from laughing at him??? Well, bless his heart. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
I know we’re pretending there aren’t any laws anymore and Trump can just pull whatever sweaty grift he wants now, but what the everloving fuck is this?!
Earlier this week, Epstein survivors were outraged by Kash Patel, who said at congressional hearings there was no credible evidence in the FBI’s possession that Epstein trafficked women to other people. 1. He's a liar. 2. They were CHILDREN, not women. 3. It's. A. Coverup. (and we all know it)
Russia is a vision into the future of the United States under MAGA and Trump. If you are asking yourself how Putin got so far and away with so much, just look at the United States right now.
