Jack Smith's wife, Katy Chevigny, is a documentary filmmaker and producer. She's neither currently nor has she ever been a federal or state employee. She's produced or directed more than 30 documentary films and won a number of awards for her work. Kennedy is grossly abusing his position and power.
A whistleblower says the warden didn’t make a federally required disclosure. Now the company is turning the Arizona prison into an ICE jail. theintercept.com/2026/09/29/i...
The Knicks belong to New York City. And this championship belongs to the people who waited 53 years for it.
That’s why we’re giving away 600 free tickets to Thursday’s Championship Ceremony at City Hall following the ticker-tape parade.
PRO TIP: MAGAts have figured out that, after many of us left Twitter, that they really have no purpose in life without being able to troll us.
Don't let anyone shame you into thinking that it's somehow wrong or cowardly to BLOCK these assholes.
This is OUR good place.
Block those dumb fuckers.

ALBANIA — Seems like it should be a bigger deal that Ivanka Trump & Kushner’s luxury resort project is being massively protested, with the people demanding the PM’s resignation and firebombing homes over the corruption of their project partners.🤷🏼
The Trump grift is endless.
Yet another catastrophic decision, one that hurts deep-ocean research, badly affects climate science, and will harm many in the short and long run (gift article). #climate#climatescience#science#ocean#deepsea#nature#resist
As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

We live in a country where some of the best journalists are late night comedians & editorial cartoonists.

You know what we don't talk enough about?
Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992.
So much going on!
Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!
Just consider, if you will:
Every President starting with Jimmy Carter has been audited Every Year while in office. It's one of the reforms made after Watergate, to prevent corruption.
And Combover Caligula wants to make it impossible to audit him or his family forever
The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.
Dr. Jasmine Clark PhD microbiology from Emory University, teaching anatomy & microbiology to future nurses, & tracking threats. 2017, watching the new administration removed science funding, public health infrastructure, and the institutions she had devoted her career to, she picked up a campaign.
There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!
Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS.
And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing."
Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!)
Or call it *modernizing* the Court.
Thank you.
Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.
If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.
And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.
