Judge Furman rules that Maureen Comey's firing violated separation of powers. Orders backpay. Govt's arguments violate 2 centuries of SCOTUS rulings & would "unsettle the equilibrium established by this Nation's constitutional system." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Great news! Congrats, Francisco! (Hey, #MLB, “countryman” is incorrectly used in the headline, since Puerto Rico is not a separate foreign country but a territory of the Estados Unidos whose natives have American citizenship.) #Mets #Clemente www.mlb.com/news/francis...

good, they should. in fact, they MUST face consequences. no investigations, no jail time? no change in behavior. #lawlesstimes #fafo www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

This seems like a big deal

if Dems retake Congress, they MUST be prepared to go this hard from Day One.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

As a Cal alum - and even if I weren’t one - this is unacceptable. And shameful.

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

As someone who used to *write* NYT headlines, I’d call this a very fair question.

Here's the NYT story about how Trump is inviting Russia into AK to drill for oil. Literally selling out Alaska to Russia. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

If there were a Nobel Prize for corruption...

In 1972, a group of Harlem Renaissance cultural icons gathered at Duke Ellington's house. The afternoon was captured on 16mm film by William Greaves, but the footage remained unedited in a vault for 50 years until David Greaves restored his father's project, releasing the documentary it 2026.

If you encounter ICE, here's what every New Yorker should know.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

Of course it does. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

It’s all a question of prioritizing. 25 years means Bloomberg, Di Blasio and Adam’s just didn’t care enough to get it done. Bravo, Mayor Mamdani.

i get that most folks might remember him in one of these roles, but my personal favorite of his performances was in "a river runs through it." apparently, it was a favorite of his as well. #RIPTomSkerrit people.com/tom-skerritt...

Bank of America, Draftkings, Kroger and Johnson & Johnson are among the companies funding Vivek Ramaswamy's despicable ad attempting to exploit the family tragedy of his opponent, who was raped as a child.

you may say no shit - i did - but there was a time when a #scotus justice saying even this in public was a pearl-clutching moment. #lawlesstimes www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

nobody stopped Musk before he broke the state monopoly on violence, so now either he goes or the nation-state does

It looks like it may be worse than just betrayal; it looks like betrayal plus crooked side deals for Trump and cronies.

Unions, people.

This is what "media capture" looks like.

Very sorry to read this. John was one of the few #NYT masthead folks during my time there who was a true mensch. A good guy and a gifted editor, he leaves us too young. #RIPJohnGeddes John Geddes Has Died. He Managed The Times Through Its Digital Transition. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/o...

He’s Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed, why we have to get big money out of politics, why billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to buy up major media, and why our government shouldn’t give them huge military contracts.

North Carolina’s Democratic governor warns that the absentee ballot rejection rate is twice as high as in 2022 thanks to last-minute changes by Republicans. He recommends voting in person if you can (early voting is even better!) wcti12.com/news/local/g...

A judge on Wednesday ordered Meta to pay New Mexico $25 billion after a jury found the company liable for deceiving users about privacy and content moderation policies on Facebook.

Trump’s efforts to tear down the East Potomac Golf Course in open defiance of a court order is about much, much more than golf. Another must-read from @lizdye.bsky.social for @atrupar.com.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.
