Dem Leaders Act PATHETIC in Shutdown Battle With Trump | Luke Thomas Gets Political
YouTube video by Luke Thomas Gets Political (LTGP) Dem Leaders Act PATHETIC in Shutdown Battle With Trump | Luke Thomas Gets Political

I found @lukethomas.bsky.social looking for MMA coverage. And as I've grown more and more disinterested in UFC I've grown more interested in what he says politically. He's a progressive voice where you might not expect to find one.

What I Read (and Watched) This Week - September 28th, 2025 Edition From the 'Mississippi Miracle' to a hypothesis on why hotter countries are poorer, it's the return of my reading recommendations.

Every week I post about the more interesting articles I read/videos I watched. Today:

* A hypothesis for why warmer countries are poor
* The 'Mississippi Miracle' in reading improvements for kids

Here’s what you need to know about UFC White House: it’s two events, not one, and nothing about it is politically neutral.

I did not know that. Cool! Well, like I said, going to focus on what I'm doing, but always down for a convo.

NEW: UFC White House is two events: a grandiose spectacle of historical MMA significance AND agitprop for an increasingly authoritarian government.

It’s fine to just care about having good fights, but it’s also not a crime to notice this broader dual reality: lthomas.substack.com/p/ufc-white-...

It's OK to Notice UFC White House’s Dual Truths Depending on the view, it's either a grand spectacle of historic proportions or an event whitewashing the actions of an increasingly authoritarian government. So, which is it?

I'm seeing we're being expected to not notice the UFC White House event is the glorification of a president engaged in daily lawless behavior.

Sorry, but I notice that. I'm not entertaining fictions for the very kind of kinship Trump himself rejects.

My take: lthomas.substack.com/p/ufc-white-...

Yeah, all fair points. I’ve already spoken to an immigration expert for my Substack, which was repurposed on YT, for what that is worth. The extra Kirk content appears to be stuff cribbed from my live chat. I made the one reax video and the rest is just live chat overflow.

I don’t run this channel, but I’m responsible for it, ultimately. I do my best to cover as many topics as I can with the time I have, but fair enough, I’ll tell my people to make adjustments.

Joe Rogan Says He's Not Anti-Woke, Induces Laughter How can the English language's biggest anti-woke cheerleader believe that? It turns out denial about being anti-woke is how its proponents sell it.

Good stuff from @lukethomas.bsky.social on Joe Rogan's supposed conversion from being an anti-woke crusader to... an ideologically confused man on a mic.

SNEAK PEAK: Abdul El Sayed on the Democratic Party Favoring Donors Over Voters The Senate candidate from Michigan explains how the party of America's left "made a deal with the Devil" and ultimately lost its way.

NEW: @abdulelsayed.bsky.social is running for Senate in Michigan.

I asked him if he trusts the leadership of Jeffries or Schumer. His answer:

"I don't trust right now the nature of a party that is more interested in its donors than it is in its voters."

It really is amazing how consistently these days that turning on social media or reading the news for the first time each day is its own little horror show.

Totally insane and wildly dangerous. Children will die, and Florida will export communicable diseases to the rest of the country and the world.
