There are certain hypotheticals you simply never get to test out. This seems to be an exception. How will a judge and later a jury treat an indictment if you had to fire multiple prosecutors before you could find someone to bring an indictment. I guess we'll find out! www.cnn.com/2025/10/09/p...

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

Wicked, godless thugs whose sick fetish is terrorizing people.

This is a federal agent pointing a weapon at a person recording them.

ICE has become Trump’s personal military that he is using to terrorize communities and cities that don’t support him. And some say we shouldn’t call him a fascist? Open your eyes.

Why is any Dem still wallowing in 2024 defeat and not focused on Stephen Miller’s war against Latinos (including Americans) or Trump’s war against democracy or Republicans’ war against the working class? Dems need to stop catering to the DC Media Bubble’s fetish for Democratic self-flagellation.

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

He can run for president. Young Pope. New Pope. What about President Pope?

Chicago Heights priest begins walk for immigrant children from Pope Leo’s childhood home in Dolton Gary Graf, a Chicago Heights Catholic priest, began a 50-day justice walk from Pope Leo’s boyhood home in Dolton to New York.

Caroline Kennedy Alleges Her Cousin RFK Jr. Put Mice in Blenders and Worse: All the Claims in Her Shocking Takedown Video Caroline Kennedy released a letter claiming her cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. put mice in blenders, is a "predator" who encouraged others into substance abuse, amongst many more shocking claims.

Rob Kennedy is a brainless nepo baby that loves torturing and killing animals. People like him end up being serial killers like Dahmer. But his anti-vax bullsh!t has and will continue to put the lives of millions at risk. He’s worse than Dahmer in that way. people.com/caroline-ken...

@simonerzim.bsky.social You have any Fuck Ice bumper stickers?

Two points:
1) for all the talk of restoring merit, in many cases we are seeing highly qualified people replaced by less qualified White people.
2) Trump and allies have made it harder and harder to explain to students why this is happening.

Why is the media demanding “autopsy” findings from 2024 results of Dems? In 2020, Republicans lost the White House, Senate, and House and the media didn’t demand this sort of post-mortem self-flagellation. The press couldn’t even get Republicans to admit they lost. Enough with the double standards.

The nominative determinism of this specific atrocity is off the charts here.

Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Trump (1) reveals he doesn't know what habeas corpus is and (2) punts to Noem, who famously revealed her own ignorance at a Senate hearing when she defined habeas corpus as "a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

Stephen Miller, when Trump says there are no stores left in Portland, just windowless, burned-out buildings:

CNN did exactly what he's describing... for Stephen Miller yesterday.

Hey Speaker Johnson, swear in Adelita Grijalva. Or are you too scared that Trump and your other GOP buddies are in the Epstein files?
