"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Trans people should take heart in these numbers. It proves that anti-trans messaging doesn't decide elections or doesn't automatically sway swing voters to Republicans. Republicans anti-trans messaging is a proxy for "Democrats care more about social issues than they care about you."

How is Gavin Newsom's social media strategy working out? For starters, he has fewer followers than Trump, though most Americans don't follow either. His posts are seen less often than Trump's as well.

This is fascism in a nutshell. Right here. "A counter-revolution against a revolution that never occurred."

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

*taps the sign*

The idea of a U.S. president, all on his own, levying taxes and appropriating revenue would have been entirely alien to the framers.

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

September, typical boom month for shipping, looks more like freight recession this year Freight data indicates that September, which is typically a boom month for shipping ahead of the holidays, is playing out like a freight recession this year.

It should be very very clear to everyone right now that the Attorney General was asked under oath if she possesses pics of the President with undressed teens and she refused to say “no.”

maybe the silence would have been better

ICE Feuds With Chicago Police As Tension Between Law Enforcement Grows ICE accused Chicago police of a "dereliction of duty" after officers reportedly instructed not to respond to a call for backup.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Oscar Guevara said he and his younger brother will head to El Salvador to bring their father cameras, clothes and other personal belongings.

“At least he is not dead, and that’s the only thing giving us hope,” Oscar Guevara said in Spanish.

No other demographic group has seen a bigger increase.

Voters recognize that Republicans have full control of government and are poised to assign blame for a shutdown to them.

A map of EU Unemployment Rates

European unemployment rates held near the lowest levels on record in data released today, with EU unemployment steady at 5.9% and Eurozone unemployment rising to 6.3%

Spain, Finland, & Sweden have the EU's highest unemployment while Malta, Slovenia, and Czechia have its lowest

Inside the DC media bubble, many reporters, especially those at the gossip outlets, gobble up the Trump/GOP spin

Even this Post write up finds it "fascinating" that independents are 2x as likely to blame Trump/GOP

His approval ratings suck. In the real world, he's loathed

This is 100% correct and we should absolutely keep it in mind

Posting this three hours before the start of Yom Kippur is quite a choice

This image displays a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) detailing temporary flight restrictions around Chicago, Illinois, near O'Hare International Airport. The restriction zone spans a 15 nautical mile radius centered around the O'Hare VOR/DME, from the surface to 400 feet above ground level. The NOTAM, issued for special security reasons, is in effect from October 1, 2025, at 1445 UTC until October 12, 2025, at 2359 UTC. It highlights that no Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations are allowed in the area unless authorized under specific conditions for defense, law enforcement, or other critical missions.

Well this is (not) reassuring: a TFR (temporary flight restriction) just went up over the city from now through October 12th for "Special Security Reasons."

Not that this makes it any better, but this TFR is specifically for drones (UAS) provided you don't have prior approval or authorization.

The folks at the @nytimes.com are not being subtle about their support for the Trump regime.

BREAKING: Reports of spontaneous protests erupting in European cities tonight in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was illegally attacked by Israel an hour ago.

Paul Graham quote tweeting a tweet from Adnan Hussain. Hussain's tweet: Yesterday I became a father. I shared a photo of my newborn daughter, and many of you sent beautiful messages. Thank you. But I’ve had to delete it. The vile racism and hate directed at an innocent soul less than a day old was beyond depraved. Graham's quote tweet: There is something deeply wrong with Twitter. It has always been rough here, but in the past year it has become an even worse kind of nasty. Do you think maybe it's time to try to turn things around, Elon?

Imagine three years later thinking that Elon wants to "turn things around." Imagine staying on the platform that you admit is full of hatred. Why?

You don't have to stay there. You can go somewhere that gives you more power and control, rather than begging for Elon to fix things.

No better diagnostic of the media environment right now that the non-story of a Trumper deciding to kill heretics & burn their church
