CORRECTION: They dissolved *some* of the Washington Post journalist's body in acid. The *rest* they barbecued on a grill until it was incinerated. I know because I wrote a chapter on it in Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan). Trump thereafter bragged about "saving MBS's ass." These are all monsters.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

This is me at 15. I’m a child. I’m a CHILD.

CNN reports that only 2% of the 600+ people arrested without probable cause or warrants in the Chicagoland area in violation of a standing court order had any criminal records at all. The idea that these are the worst people on the planet only makes sense if you see them as Nazis saw Jews in 1940.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

As authorities end their large-scale search, volunteers and village public safety officers vow to keep looking for two residents whose home floated away in the storm.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers. He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them. His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors. And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

Seems like the IRS is trying to dirty delete the email saying all employees would receive backpay once the shutdown was over. You want a fight? You've found it. We're not backing down, and we know the attempts to deny furloughed feds backpay is illegal. federalnewsnetwork.com/government-s...

BREAKING: A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump from deploying federalized National Guard troops into Chicago. This ruling reinforces what we already knew: It is illegal for the president to use manufactured emergencies to send soldiers into our cities.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value. This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025. Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment. Be warned.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

"The Department of Justice is supposed to be nonpartisan, and it certainly is not supposed to be an arm of presidential lawfare. Nonetheless, Trump has been perverting it to protect his loyalists and persecute his perceived enemies."

Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to swiftly remove Peru's first female president shortly after midnight, marking yet another leadership shake-up in a nation rocked by violence and political turmoil. n.pr/4ogl4kl

"Along with fast-tracking the money, Noem flew there herself on a government plane to tour the pier personally. She then stayed for the weekend and got dinner with the donor, a local cardiologist, at the French restaurant Bleu Provence..." www.propublica.org/article/kris...

"FEMA officials arrived to go door-to-door to help residents apply for federal funds. But then they stopped as the administration canceled the door-to-door program. FEMA closed disaster-recovery facilities where residents could apply for financial assistance last week." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

1/2 No, this isn’t satire. But banning words doesn’t erase reality. --- A few months ago: “bias” was flagged. (Funny thing—science articles are full of statistical biases we work hard to fix.)

Mass shootings in the US, per Gun Violence Archive: 2015: 332 2016: 383 2017: 347 2018: 335 2019: 414 2020: 611 2021: 689 2022: 644 2023: 659 2024: 503 So far in 2025...324 mass shootings in just 272 days. We do not have to keep living like this.

Kudos to the state of Oregon for immediately fighting back against Trump’s authoritarianism. Tyranny is only possible when we submit to it. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/oregon-sues-trump-administration-deployment-national-guard-troops-port-rcna234307

The Defense Department has disbanded a non-partisan committee that for decades has advised on the recruitment, retention, and treatment of servicewomen — including women’s full integration into combat roles. The Trump administration isn’t up to the job in supporting women in our armed forces.

Just five media companies control 90% of our media market. But it’s not just media. In 75% of U.S. industries, fewer companies now control more of their markets than they did 20 years ago – leaving us vulnerable to higher prices and lower wages. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

Presidents get too much credit when the American economy is strong & too much blame when it isn’t. But in the case of farmers who can’t sell crops, Trump clearly gets 100% of the blame. Rare when you can point to economic disaster in a sector directly attributable to a president.

A judge ruled the firing of thousands of federal employees was illegal. But he stopped short of ordering the government to reinstate them, predicting the Supreme Court would overturn it.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" Bailing out a failed libertarian austerity agenda in Argentina... "That's just how it is."

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Jimmy Kimmel returns tomorrow. This is an important victory for free speech. Remember that it was YOU all using your power TOGETHER that got a gigantic corporation to reverse itself. Bless everyone who participated in telling Mickey Mouse to fuck off.

Senator Cruz is the Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over the FCC. He's right on this — it's unbelievably dangerous for the Trump administration to be pulling people off the air for speech they don't like.

Power and ultimate control. Canceling late-night shows. Silencing the press. Threats of war against U.S. cities. Using force against peaceful protesters and journalists. Now Trump is demanding Bondi prosecute his political opponent.

On October 18, we rise! Not to defend broken systems, but to defend each other! Because our communities deserve more than fear, silence, and billion-dollar bailouts for the powerful. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. FIND or HOST a 10/18 action at www.FiftyFifty.one #NoKings #Oct18 #50501Movement

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

"During the transition, law enforcement officials notified the incoming administration about the case as Mr. Trump’s team considered whom to appoint to to government positions..." And they still gave him the job! Did he keep the $50k? And what was his Cava order? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

No one is coming to save us, so we will have to be the resistance we need. Thankfully, we have the numbers. History shows us that nonviolent peoples movements WORK. Boycott, strike, protest, refuse to cooperate. Start building your local community support systems NOW.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

This is a THREAD of people NOT FIRED. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Huh! Imagine that! The world's least surprising news development in this case: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/b...

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.
