Superb & eviscerating take on the situation at CBS by John Oliver and @lastweektonight.com. As I’ve noted, the new billionaire owners create a mirrortocracy, pretend it’s a meritocracy & hire a mediocrity to get there. But it is not about innovating & supporting journalism.

How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in Chicago, arriving in Black Hawk helicopters and moving trucks.

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.

The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

Oh dear lord. No it was not burned to the ground

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Thousands of undocumented immigrant workers helped rebuild New York City in the wake of 9/11.

24 years later, they're at risk of deportation as they still struggle with chronic health issues.

A pathway to citizenship is the least these workers deserve. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...

🧵Journalist & college professor Stacey Patton penned this stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list," recounting the horror that he inflicted on her.

This is what Trump and Republicans are glorifying.

NEW: The Trump administration's attempt to control East Coast train stations under the pretext of fighting crime mirrors the authoritarian tactics of Nazi Germany and North Korea, raising concerns about a more sinister agenda at play, @marcelias.bsky.social writes.

The Confederacy was never defeated; it only transformed.

First, it shapeshifted into segregation and the KKK.

Then, it became the Republican Party under Nixon’s Southern Strategy.

Later, it was normalized via Reagan’s “trickle-down economics” and mass incarceration.

Now, MAGA is its final stage.

Don’t Say Vote: NC GOPers Want to Bar Election Officials From Encouraging Turnout Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

North Carolina Republicans have introduced a bill that could ban election officials from encouraging voter turnout. If passed, that means:

❌ No public outreach to boost participation
❌ No PSAs reminding people to cast a ballot

Whistleblower evidence suggests Trump judicial nominee Emil Bove misled Senate A third whistleblower has new information about a Justice Department official the president has nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.

This statement by judiciary committee chair is mind blowing:

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has said that even if Reuveni’s account is mostly true, it does not disqualify Bove.

YouTube video by Jen Taub Jen Taub LIVE - WATCH OUT! SHE'S NOT A VICTIM. DON'T TRUST HER

Say it LOUD. Don't let Trump and team rewrite history. Ghislaine Maxwell is a child sex abuser. She was found guilty of molesting little girls. She herself did that. And she was found guilty for her recruiting and grooming of little girls for Jeff Epstein

There’s your new ad, Dems.

In April, Donald Trump said he had made 200 tariff deals. Now he says you can’t make 200 deals. So which is it? Oh, and by the way, there aren’t even 200 countries in the world.

BOSTON (AP) - Judge blocks Trump administration's efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and orders that it keep getting Medicaid funds.

Isaiah is still in jail!

What a DISGUSTING perversion of the facts.

Ghislaine Maxwell is no victim. She is a convicted sex trafficker of little girls as young as 14 years old. She enticed and groomed little girls for sexual abuse.
