Wow — Harvard Crimson student newspaper busts Hegseth for having written a long policy brief touting diversity before he joined Trump’s war on DEI.

With receipts. Bravo, Crimson.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Oooops

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

“The findings, published Tuesday, challenge the perception that Covid cases in children are “mild,” as well as the notion that re-infections do not carry the same risk of long Covid as getting it the first time.”

His name is Bayron Rovidio Marin and he should be a much bigger story.

A man held for 37 days under a pseudonym.

No due process. He wasn’t even told why he was held (so I would assume he wasn’t given a lawyer either)

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Where is measles spreading? Here's what to know. The country is four months away from possibly losing its measles elimination status.

The US is now four months away from losing its measles elimination status.

1544 confirmed cases reported by the CDC.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Reminder that Benny Johnson took money from russia to spread divisive content in the USA.

There’s no rule of journalistic neutrality that requires you to say something is “unclear” when that is objectively untrue. It would be illegal. There’s absolutely zero ambiguity about that fact. Saying it’s unclear is making a false statement in your reporting.

— patiently wait for the crash

The smartest newsroom in America: is intentionally hitting two people with a vehicle at 70 miles per hour some sort of crime?

Kat Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague... It is not normal to have masked men repel down from helicopters into apartment buildings, to arrest families in the middle of the night.

Since you've voluntarily invited a boycott, you get one.

A thread 🧵 about investors in Bluesky, who would love to hear your feedback by phone, snail mail, or email.

"You're not a Proud Boy, you're just a fuckboy drinking the Kool-Aid of a mad orange king."

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Thank you for your email. There is a temporary shutdown of the U.S. government due to a lapse in appropriations. I will respond to your message as soon as possible after the temporary shutdown ends. Please visit ED.gov for the latest information on the Department's operational status. Thank you.

Thank you for contacting me. On September 19, 2025, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5371, a clean continuing resolution. Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations. Due to the lapse in appropriations I am currently in furlough status. I will respond to emails once government functions resume.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

Version of original on left, updated on right:

See, the thing is, Singal did violate the TOS, unambiguously. An then Bluesky changed it to accommodate him. You know this to be the case; you were there just as much as I was. So you're telling a lie. And you know it to be a lie. And that kind of makes you look like a shithead. I'm just saying.

There’s “only one sector truly holding up in ADP job numbers now." 👀

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Oregon, Portland sue Trump to block potential troop deployment Oregon and the city of Portland are suing President Donald Trump, in an attempt to block the administration from deploying U.S. armed forces or members of the National Guard to the state’s largest city.

Gov. Tina Kotek and Attorney General Dan Rayfield made the announcement at a joint news conference Sunday afternoon.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You are praising a conman in your own party while simultaneously saying you will fight the conman in The White House. The former is why no one believes you on the later.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.
