Trump's FCC tried to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air...literally a month ago today! Do they think we are stupid?

Trump could soon make America’s refugee program a tool for white nationalism The White House is considering a plan to overhaul refugee admissions in favor of right-wing whites.

The Trump administration is now reportedly considering granting protection to members of far-right European parties.

There is nothing subtle about this effort: Trump officials are trying to turn the long-celebrated refugee program...into a tool of white nationalism.

literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Trump To Hold Putin Summit In Budapest – Where Russia Promised Not To Invade Ukraine Asked who chose Budapest given that history, top White House aides told HuffPost: “Your mom.”

'In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”'

Everytime you think they can't sink any lower:

Damn! Every clip from last night’s debate is Mamdani wiping the floor with Cuomo.

Choosing Hungary as the place to meet Putin is one of the most outrageous and illiberal acts of this new Trump era. It’s another extraordinarily gift to Putin, an insult to our allies and Zelenskyy, and should be forcefully denounced by leaders in both parties here in America.

Trump’s EPA canceled a $20M flood protection grant for the area in May, calling it “wasteful DEI spending.”

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient.

To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

As long as we don't think about all the people who lost jobs for tweeting, "hey, this Charlie Kirk guy seems to have been a racist?"

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

As the parent of OK public school students, I cannot overstate the relief this gave me.

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t. Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

NBC News’ 150 Layoffs Gut Black, Latino, Asian American and LGBTQ+ Diversity Teams The cuts affected teams across the NBC News operation and came as the network no longer needed to support two different news operations. MSNBC has begun growing its own newsroom, hiring swaths of tale...

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

This is the same Speaker who has repeatedly refused to put up the congressionally-mandated plaque honoring the Capitol Police members who were viciously assaulted by MAGA goons on January 6th.

We've seen your deeds, you oily liar.

We got $20 billion for Argentina though.

Zohran on stage at the rally.

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

More of this, please.

ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults. 12:02 PM · Oct 14, 2025 · 1.2M Views

Chicago priest urges parishioners to leave mass with caution after ICE agents reported nearby Chicago's Rogers Park community remained vigilant after reports of federal agents near a Catholic church during Sunday mass.

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."
