"In Greece, she's been a highly visible ambassador, appearing on the cover of Vogue Greece & at parties around Athens. Ms. Guilfoyle told The Times last year that her active social life demonstrated her commitment to the job." (NYT 10/13/26) Partying & modeling: the very definition of diplomacy!

The Kennedy Center ordered to pay Chuck Redd $250K for attorneys’ fees and costs after they sued him over canceled gig which was in protest of renaming the center after Trump.

I just learned that OMB is required to respond to every comment on the anti-peer-review rule. So that means our comments really matter, at the very least by gumming up the gears. Send your comment today.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

BREAKING: Wholesale prices jump 6% as energy prices soar, raising pressure on U.S. companies to pass along costs to consumers.

This is Mike Waltz' new argument that a girl's school is now considered "co-mingled infrastructure that powers the Iran military" b/c it's w/in a certain number of miles of a military base & could never constitute a war crime. Don't you just love having these guys on our team? He asks sarcastically.

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/b... As the White House continues to use the wholly deceptive (and demeaning) pretext of "national security" to advance policies and programs that have absolutely nothing to do with national security, this article from Adam Kushner (the "good" Kushner) remains apt.

I'm a little worried about today's New York times article about the Trump administration attempting to round up all of the names of the Jews at institutions of higher learning. The Trump administration installed someone at Dept Transportation to set up train schedules? Someone named Eichmann?

So good

At a time when ice seems to be the villain, why isn't anyone but a panel of academic experts paying any attention of this fact about CBP?

This, from the man who systematically discriminates against black lessors at his residential real properties. From the guy who paid for a full page ad in 4 major New York dailies calling for death penalty for the Central Park 5, BEFORE TRIAL BEGAN (an unrelated man later confessed to the crime).

I've talked to Minneapolis DA Mary Moriarty several times, including a few months ago. Former public defender with no qualms about charging abusive cops. She has also been threatened by the Trump administration, is not seeking reelection, and doesn't back down. Shit's about to get real.

In human history, no one person has blended moral and intellectual inconsistency more successfully with narcissistic personality disorder than our current sitting president. And deciding that nothing can be done to end his reign of terror is to commit a form of unnecessary suicide.

The Unitary Executive folks are more than historical revisionists. They're consciously active in destroying history and shamelessly allowing (encouraging even) sloppy authoritarian propaganda to not just leak into BUT REPLACE careful, rigorous analysis of fact and law, even in courts of law!

Trump says he’ll pardon a former Honduras leader convicted of taking millions of dollars in bribes from drug traffickers. A U.S. prosecutor said Juan Orlando Hernández “paved a cocaine superhighway to the U.S.” More evidence that Trump’s threats against Venezuela have nothing to do with drugs.

Kash Patel’s girlfriend suggests that Sen. Mark Kelly’s video is responsible for the shooting of National Guard troops in DC.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

The style mavens at YSL seem to have picked their winners in the autocracy v democracy fight. Judging by this YSL ad in today's WaPo, the fascist brutality of Darth Vader's black leather wardrobe is the new "be yourself" individuality.

He's just not that into you.

🚨 Elise Stefanik received this award from her allies involved in the racist text messaging scandal. Elise posed with Bobby Walker who referred to rape as “epic” and Peter Giunta who texted, “I love Hitler,” called NBA games, “monkey …ball” and Black people “watermelon people.”

Needs more cowbell.

Someone should read this document you speak of.

No unsurprisingly it did not.

Senator Hawley grandstands as a concerned public servant worried about how AI might harm children, including sexually. All this while Hawley bends heaven & earth to support the near-elimination of the entire highly trained DOJ team working on active anti child sex-trafficking cases.

They know what they’re doing.

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

The Justice Department has removed a study from its website which found that "the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”, CNN reports.
