Kimmel’s suspension prompts free-speech Republicans to reconsider their boundaries One Republican said she no longer considers the First Amendment to “be sort of the ultimate right,” as she would “in normal circumstances.”

GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis: "Under normal times, in normal circumstances, I tend to think that the First Amendment should always be sort of the ultimate right... I don't feel that way anymore." www.semafor.com/article/09/1...

MEMORANDUM OPINION Just before midnight on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, several Executive Branch agencies began to implement a plan to expel from the United States certain unaccompanied alien children in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services and send them back to their home country of Guatemala. Those agencies told the children's caretakers, who were hearing about the plan for the first time, to have them ready for pickup in as little as two hours. The children were roused from their beds in the middle of the night and driven to an airport, where some were loaded onto planes. Lawyers got wind of this hasty operation while it was unfolding and filed this lawsuit seek- ing emergency relief that Sunday at 1:00 a.m. The judge on emergency duty entered a temporary restraining order barring the agencies and their officials from removing or otherwise transporting the children from the United States. At a hearing later that day, counsel for Defendants explained why it was "fairly outrageous" for Plaintiffs to have sued: all Defendants wanted to do was reunify children with parents who had requested their return. But that explanation crumbled like a house of cards about a week later. There is no evidence before the Court that the parents of these children sought their return. To the contrary, the Guatemalan Attorney General reports that officials could Case 1:25-cv-02942-TJK Document 49 Filed 09/18/25 Page 2 of 43 not even track down parents for most of the children whom Defendants found eligible for their "reunification" plan. And none of those that were located had asked for their children to come back to Guatemala.

2. Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction, ECF No. 20, is GRANTED.

129. The value of President Trump’s one-of-a-kind, unprecedented personal brand alone is reasonably estimated to be worth at over $100,000,000,000. His business ventures are successful and generate hundreds of millions of dollars of annual revenue for the Trump Organization. Moreover, the injury to President Trump’s business and personal reputation inflicted by these Defendants threatens to Case 8:25-cv-02487 Document 1 Filed 09/15/25 Page 79 of 85 PageID 79 80 continue, thereby causing massive economic damage to his brand value and significant damage and injury to his future financial prospects. The harm to the value of TMTG stock is one example of how the Defendants’ defamation has injured President Trump. Because President Trump’s net worth is extremely high and includes his unique brand, which he has carefully cultivated over decades, the reputational injury inflicted in this case reaches billions of dollars.

I honestly thought there was a chance that I'd fallen asleep and was dreaming the most absurd, childlike, ego-maniac lawsuit when I tried to read this Trump defamation complaint against the Times, Penguin Random House, and individual journalists.

That no one in our national press is able to detect creepy vibes from the people who are playing them for fools like normal people can explains a lot.

Now Trump wants companies to declare their earnings half as frequently because he knows each earnings call is a likely disaster for his economic policy because companies are required by law to be honest in the calls.

Rig the govt stats and shut down the private company stats.

The Supreme Court has temporarily allowed President Trump to freeze $4 billion in foreign aid that had been approved by Congress.

The fuck is this?

i know we're all used to it at this point but it is remarkable that the dem politicians in the US that capture youth support and national energy are also the dem politicians the democratic party attempts to destroy

Pretty sharp turn from “Trump had nothing to do with him.” To “Trump had such intimate knowledge he was a key informant to bring him down.”

Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

I knew that guy, he lived in my neighborhood at the time. We knocked doors for Bernie together. Blew my mind when I saw him on TV when he did that stunt - dude was extra brave and pulled it at a second Trump event later that year too

It would be truly hilarious to have AOC and/or Crockett go up against Trump on a random sample IQ and basic high school scholastics test in the same room, with judges to oversee. This is an easily provable thing.

Need to see Kesha again and I am

FUCKING

my entire politics rn is informed by the belief that, even if trump fails to finish consolidating power, doesn’t build a bunch of camps, and leaves office peacefully, we would still eventually get all the worst outcomes, absent a dedicated effort to dismantle fascist tools and punish the fascists

We'll need a system where political and business elites are subject to laws again which at minimum means a different supreme court
