JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer."

JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

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.

Hundreds evacuating from hardest hit Western Alaska villages following storm Nearly all the homes in both towns were damaged and a tribal administrator said it was unsafe to stay.

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.

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

"In unison."

Amen.

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?

IRS backtracks on back pay guarantee for furloughed employees An IRS employee told Federal News Network that earlier guidance emailed to employees on Wednesday was automatically deleted from their inboxes by Thursday.

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.

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."

Peru's Congress removes President Boluarte as a crime wave grips the country 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.

FEMA Is Paralyzed. Disaster-Torn Communities Are Paying the Price. St. Louis’s tornado was months ago, but it’s still waiting for hundreds of millions in federal recovery funds to arrive. It’s part of Trump’s plan to shift responsibility to the states and shrink the ...

"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.

Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

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.

Oregon sues Trump administration over deployment of National Guard troops to Portland The suit comes a day after Trump announced he was authorizing the guard to use "full force" in Portland.

Kudos to the state of Oregon for immediately fighting back against Trump’s authoritarianism.

Tyranny is only possible when we submit to it.

Hegseth terminates women’s advisory group, slams ‘divisive agenda’ A Sept. 17 memo signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directs the “formal disestablishment” of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services.

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.

Robert Reich The Illusion of Choice: How Big Business Controls Your Life (ft. Lina Khan)

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.

Are we going to discuss their mental illness? Are they going to be seen as a group that is exceptionally violent, unstable, and prone to perpetrating mass shootings? Multiple shootings in a single day perpetrated by cis white men clearly shows there is a huge problem with such people, right?

Where are the calls for handling the scourge of cis white male people who perform mass shootings? Should their access to guns removed because they are clearly, as a group, a threat?

A judge ruled their firings were illegal. The government got to do it anyway 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.

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.

Text: "'I think it is unbelievably dangerous right now for the government to decide what speech they like or what speech they don't like.. and take you off air if we don't like what you're saying.

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.
