Dale Gribble in a courtroom holding a cigarette. To judge: I'm not questioning your authority. I'm completely denying its existence.

Donald Trump announces he has commuted George Santos’ sentence in his federal fraud case: “at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! […] I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

Breaking on MSNBC: Two top criminal lawyers in the Eastern District of Virginia have been fired: Elizabeth Yusi, the criminal chief, and her deputy Kristin Bird. Both had been involved with Letitia James case and were skeptical of it.

Boom. #UVA rejects authoritarian extortion.

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Between santos and Argentina, feels like trump is really overplaying his hand

It's meaningful that this is Santos. He has no friends. He has no power. He has no influence. This isn't the kind of corruption where Trump gets money or favors. This is a message: no matter how big an asshole you are or how much everyone hates you, the law does not bind you if you are a Republican.

“When he is out of custody, Mr. Santos will have served fewer than three months of an 87-month sentence.”

We're going to make history tomorrow. #NoKings

Casually walking down a metropolis sidewalk is Superman and the Guardian. Superman says, “Imagine those kids! Putting an ad in the newspaper – – INVITING us to the discotheque!” The Guardian replies, “If it will HELP their attendance, I DON’T see the harm in going!“ In the foreground is a man in a red jacket and hat, watching them walk toward him and thinking, “Well, dig these cats!!“

We are DELIGHTED to announce that #ConONeill will be joining us for a LIVE virtual advice session titled "Dear Izzy!" Get tickets before they sell out: shopstands.com/collections/... #ofmd

Trump: "We attacked a submarine. That was a drug-carrying submarine built specifically for the transportation of massive amounts of drugs. Just so you understand. This was not an innocent group of people. I don't know too many people that have submarines."

'No Kings' organizers project a massive turnout for this weekend's protests Organizers say they expect millions of Americans will march this weekend against the policies of the Trump administration. The protests come amid National Guard deployments in several cities.

A tiny, rotund dragon perched on a mushroom in an autumnal forest. The dragon’s head and body resemble small, bright orange pumpkins. The head is equipped with sharp, drooling fangs.

A couple of weeks until Halloween.
That means it’s time for this year’s little pumpkin-themed dragon.

New York State Young Republicans disbanded after racist group chat State GOP leaders say suspending the group makes for a fresh start.

New York State Young Republicans disbanded by state GOP leaders after our reporting on a Young Republican group chat filled with racist and antisemitic rhetoric.

The U.S. Is Dismantling the Systems That Keep Us Safe States and cities offer a way forward for public health

I’ll never forget my first few weeks as CDC director. It was in the midst of the H1N1 epidemic and we needed to manage the outbreak effectively. I was grateful to walk into a building of public health experts and a full team of support.

Sadly, more than 1 in 4 of them are no longer in place today.

“We are not prepared” is right.

As the father of a teenager trying to navigate social media and AI and everything else, just popping up to say:

We should be teaching news literacy in middle school. And we should have started at least a decade ago.

I never again want to hear House Republicans disparage people they claim are too lazy to work

"I don't know who she is" - he's bombing citizens of her country and threatening war there

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!

Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Defensive fungal symbiosis on insect hindlegs Dinidorid stinkbugs were reported to possess a conspicuous tympanal organ on female hindlegs. In this study, we show that this organ is specialized to retain microbial symbionts rather than to perceiv...

Wow, nature is too cool! Structures on stinkbug hind legs that used to be interpreted as ears are actually chambers with fungi. The bugs coat their eggs in those fungi to protect them against parasitoid wasps. 🧪
