The Institute for the Study of War shared satellite imagery indicating reduced nighttime light activity across Russian-occupied Crimea, saying the changes reflect the impact of recent energy shortages. #Crimea

"This is a historic moment!" A Russian man showed what the longest line at a single gas station in Russia (Chita, Zabaykalsky Krai) looks like.

WTAF HERE???

NEW: Russian forces are struggling to advance on the northern part of Ukraine’s Fortress Belt following the onset of the Russian Spring-Summer 2026 offensive. 🧵(1/8) Read the full update: isw.pub/UkrWar032926

WATCH: “Johnny, you just absolutely lied.” Republican candidate for Congress Rep. Johnny Garrett 🤥 caught BLATANTLY LYING that 50% of all crime in Tennessee was committed by undocumented immigrants (NC5 explains it’s 2%, 90% of those NON-VIOLENT/traffic)

CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below). adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Republicans claim they’re better for the economy, but it hasn't been true for a century. Don't fall for it. They're better for the wealthy and that's it.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Key Republicans are starting to prepare for the inevitable: the departure of Donald Trump from American politics. So should Democrats.

The authoritarian whiner in chief is already unhappy that Bari Weiss hasn’t stopped any criticism of him from airing on CBS and demanding an apology for the Marge interview

There’s a special place in hell for anyone who can watch this and feel joy. And for the ones just standing there doing nothing, you’re not much better…

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world. It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

Right now, Russian ammunition depot in Dovzhansk, Luhansk region, under drone attack.

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Undocumented workers aren’t getting free health care they’re paying billions in taxes they’ll never see back. Ones draining America dry are the greedy politicians and their rich donors.THEY’RE SHUTTING DOWN YOUR GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT THE WEALTHY NOT YOU DON’T FALL FOR THEIR LIES RISE UP. FIGHT BACK

Kamala Harris warned us that Trump would turn the military against civilians. She warned us that he would pursue Project 2025. The media mocked her, but she was dead right about both.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. The legacy of the Roberts court.

When Trump tried to force the DOJ to drop the Adams case, I resigned. Now, I’m standing up for our rights and our values by running for Congress. As we are six days away from our end-of-quarter campaign deadline. Can you chip in just $9 to help us reach our goal?

CUBAN ON KIMMEL: “Nexstar & Sinclair don’t know they’re digging their own grave.” @mcuban.bsky.social tells us caving to government censorship means what airs on broadcast TV will suffer, hurting them in ways they don’t yet realize. Full interview: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMNvqR4u/

A routine reminder that "THE LIGHTHOUSE AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD" is out in the world. Amazing reviews from WaPo, Library Journal, Booklist, Locus, Shelf Awareness, and a big ol star from PW. I do not have it in me to do the fancy quote carousel rn, but people said it's good. Sapphic Orpheus ahoy!

BOOK TOWER

WATCH: “The president and DOJ just deleted the study from the website.” @jwilliamj8.bsky.social & @thejaampod.bsky.social crew note Trump’s DOJ conspicuously deleted a study that shows far-right extremist violence is actually far more prevalent. (Backed up by CATO, Grok, etc)

A 79-year-old Van Nuys car wash owner — who is a U.S. citizen — has filed a federal civil rights claim seeking $50 million after he says he was violently body slammed and pinned by federal agents during an ICE immigration raid at his business on September 9.

Laura Loomer’s parents had her involuntarily committed to a mental institution twice, and because of this, she is not permitted to own any firearms. The preceding public service announcement was brought to you by Opusphere Music.

The Kyiv Independent is proud to share that, with the support of its readers, its e-store has raised $7,900 for the non-profit organization East SOS that helps rebuild homes and lives devastated by Russia's invasion, donating 100% of the profit from the sales of its 603,628 km² T-shirt.

In occupied Crimea, people wait for hours in line for gasoline. Fuel is so scarce that even tiny deliveries to gas stations feel like a celebration. Yet the "gas station country" still insists everything is just fine.

In an interview with Axios, Zelensky stated that he has no intention of governing the country in peacetime. He promised to address the Ukrainian parliament with a request to organize elections once a truce is achieved. www.axios.com/2025/09/25/z...

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”

War is still raging in Ukraine. Measles outbreak. US cities under siege. Gas, coffee, grocery prices are all up. No tax on tips. Value of the US dollar down. Radioactive shrimp? Millions thrown off health insurance while the plague makes a comeback... And still no Epstein files.

Final results in Iowa's #SD01 (Trump+11): Catelin Drey (D)- 55.2% Christopher Prosch (R)- 44.8% That's a 22 point overperformance from 2024 AND a broken Republican supermajority in the State Senate. bsky.app/profile/uncr...

Last year, in an address to the Society for the Rule of Law Institute (@chkbal.bsky.social), Ambassador John Bolton warned that, if elected to a second term, Trump would abuse and corrupt the Justice Department to carry out retribution. Watch. (ht: @greggnunziata.bsky.social)

In March of last year—eons ago—I interviewed John Bolton at a @chkbal event at the National Press Club about how "Trump would seek retribution … and there would be 'continuing crisis, turmoil, chaos—perhaps amounting to constitutional problems.'" And here we are. www.c-span.org/program/publ...

First of all this data is not real It’s presented by the Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 head Stephen Moore a week after 🍊💩 didn’t like his #’s and fired the head of data stats! Their gaslighting is so pathetic and insulting to our intelligence! Those of us of course not in their MAGAt cult

We found the waste, fraud, and abuse…

WATCH: “SENATOR BLACKBURN, SHOULD THE EPSTEIN FILES BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC?” @marshablackburn , who wants to be our governor, ducks Q’s about files she once pretended to care about for 2 full minutes as her stooges physically block the questioner. ( 🎥 From Corrine Cliford)

These Americans served with honor for more than a decade. Put their lives on the line. Trump fired them, just for being who they are-and now is denying retirement benefits our nation promised them for their service. Treating troops this way is dishonorable, unfair, & harmful to national security.
