You’d think Dems would be closing with this message but instead they’re taking time out of their day to criticize Twitch streamers and giving credence to the GOPs rank Islamophobia.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

“Free Palestine” banner flown over Gillette Stadium during the Patriots-Raiders game today. I’m told it was put on by a group of Boston locals “who are pissed off at Robert Kraft.”

If you're a reporter asking a candidate to denounce a foreign terrorist group simply because he shares the same religion, you are a gutter bigot of the worst fucking kind. Do they ask Mike Rogers to denounce Christian terrorists like Tim McVeigh, Eric Robert Rudolph and Robert Lewis Dear? No? Huh

If an internationally-wanted war criminal (whose forces have killed Americans) comes to US soil, attacks Americans (including the mayor of the largest city), and then says "Remember the beepers" in reference to a terrorist attack he committed — how can that be taken as anything other than a threat?

Bibi Netanyahu at the UNGA, in front of a half-empty chamber: "Do you remember the beepers? Remember? Remember them?!" [pulls out a beeper from his pocket] "Well, I can tell you this. Hezbollah certainly remembers them!"

After the midterms, Californians, I just want to say the AG is a statewide office subject to recall. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

@agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov needs to be excised from anything that even remotely resembles democratic government. These fucking cowards just green lit the next wave of the right-wing media takeover of America. Whatever is left of their careers should be defined by this unfathomable betrayal.

This is what Gavin Newsom and Rob Bonta have brought about. They both need to go. According to Semafor, David Ellison has discussed bringing Elon Musk on as an investor in Paramount's merger with Warner Bros., which could mean Musk could have a stake in CBS News and CNN.

1. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 other Democratic AGs had Paramount and the Ellisons over a barrel. They had secured a restraining order against the merger with Paramount and their negotiating position was about to get even stronger. Then, Bonta threw in the towel.

I want to be 100% clear: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social's fingerprints are all over this deal and he owns the consequences. He has handed control of America's media ecosystem to Trump's top enablers and he should have to answer for it every day for the rest of his career. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/b...

The Trump regime’s response to inflation is to tell us we actually like it.

Brooke Rollins: "Instead of eating less beef as the price continued to rise, Americans began to eat more beef. And even though the price of a pound of ground beef was $6.50, most Americans say, 'I'm good with that. I want this protein for my family.' So they continue to buy."

Today, billionaires yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top. As a result, a billionaire media company closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s critical news outlets. Saudi Arabia will co-own those outlets, too.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

The Iran war has expanded over the weekend with Iranian backed groups taking control of coast in Yemen that controls the key Red Sea port and the Saudi pipeline being bombed. But US media is so horrible you can barely find coverage of this. You need to read BBC, The Guardian and Al Jazeera

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Mikie Sherrill is livid that the NJ AG has joined a 12-state antitrust lawsuit against the Paramount/WB merger. Over the last decade we have continued to elect feckless corporate Democrats who will sell us out to the highest bidder. They simply do not care about what their voters want.

Does anyone have an explanation for why major media aren't reporting loudly that the president of the United States is out of his mind? Other than the obvious explanations of media cowardice and complicity, I mean.

Ford: "I don't respond to a dictator like Trump, a bully like Trump ... I'm not gonna take any advice off a guy that's the king of bankruptcies ... your own people don't even like you. And they're gonna speak loud and clear in the midterms. If I was allowed to, I'd be down there door-knocking."
