This is the lesson of 2025

Religious protesters say ICE threatens religious freedom in Chicago (RNS) — Despite potential danger, religious leaders and faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area ICE protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who w...

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Every court Trump is before must take notice of the fact that the litigant has declared that if any court holds up his agenda, he'll declare martial law. That is a threat against these courts and an attempted coercion of federal officials. Just so, media and pols' jobs *require* civil-war protocols.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Daily Press Briefings by Schumer or Jeffries, really???
They haven't done it since January, why now? Shadow Cabinet! Press Secretary for the resistance! That would require leadership and accepting that there are no rules

Senator Jim Banks V @SenatorBanks Follow g.. The 2020 Census was a fraud. The Biden admin used a shady "privacy" formula that scrambled the data and miscounted 14 states.

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

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

“…bucking tradition…”??

You guys.

No

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Paramount Buys Bari Weiss’s the Free Press for $150 Million Weiss, who once said she was done with legacy media, is to take control of CBS News’s editorial vision, aiming for “news that reflects reality.”

You work hard as a journalist. You lead with empathy, and you sweat details. You operate in good faith. You believe in honesty and truth. You get yelled at by the president of the United States. You worry that you'll get laid off. Again and again.

And then you see this. www.wsj.com/business/med...

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

Okay, this is worse than the partisan shutdown propaganda on federal websites.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

Democrats need a more muscular vision for an American economy that actually works for the people.

This seems like incitement to violence against judges.

AP: More and more, big arrays of lithium-ion batteries are being hooked up to electrical grids around the U.S. to store power that can be discharged in times of high demand. But as more energy storage is added, residents in some places are pushing back due to fears that the systems will go up in flames, as a massive facility in California did earlier this year. Proponents maintain that state-of-the-art battery energy storage systems are safe, but more localities are enacting moratoriums.

science and tech denial in the associated press

if you’re going to say people are afraid of another giant battery fire, you have to put as high as possible that there’s almost no facility like the one you’re citing anywhere in the u.s.

also, mention climate change. this story doesn’t say it once.

See you in DC!

Now that Bari Weiss has ascended to a powerful position at an influential network with a PR machine, I am seeing outlets that cover media like Puck and Mediaite present her as a "centrist" who might even challenge Trump.

That is such a deep and willful misreading of her oeuvre.

Fair enough, but is the game already lost? How can we reverse the trend?

Why don't we have more good journalism?

Mostly, because people are unwilling to pay for it.

We have, collectively, gotten the idea that information should be free for the reading.

You can't complain about lousy reporting & analysis and also gripe about paywalls.

The Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine and the Compact for Excellence Members of the Trump administration love to say that federal funding is a privilege not a right and therefore something that can be granted or withheld based on changing administrative priorities.

The Trump Administration’s “Compact of Excellence” for Universities is... far from excellent! Indeed, it’s unconstitutional. In this post, let me count the ways.
