Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Border Patrol called anti-ICE protester ‘B****’ before shooting her: lawyer Lawyer says video shows agents provoked clash before firing, fueling scrutiny of federal use of deadly force.

ICE agent called woman “bitch” before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why won’t they release his name? Don’t let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely.

EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in a 2022 interview warned supporters of reproductive rights that "one day it’s going to be your turn."

"Murder is murder. And one day it's going to be your turn."

Solar and wind power has grown faster than electricity demand this year, report says A new analysis of solar and wind power shows its generation worldwide has outpaced electricity demand this year.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

The home team has lost the last five MLB postseason games that have been scoreless through five innings.

There's nothing new under the sun

I’ll end this day (midnight in Kyiv)
with some good news.

A drone attack set fire to russia’s Kirishi oil refinery,
forcing it to shut down its largest unit
– about 40% of total capacity.
Repairs may take a month.

One way out of this might come wrapped in Reaganite branding. Somebody runs on "America Is Open for Business." They'll promise to end tariffs by fiat, reopen global trade, launch a ludicrously expensive marketing campaign to convince tourists they won't be kidnapped. 20% chance it's a Republican.

It’s simple really.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Save the date: On Oct. 8, Reps. Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene will hold a press conference — joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse — to discuss the discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna and Massie's bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted the GOP could end the shutdown anytime they wanted, they control all the branches of government. Broken clock’s right twice a day.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

Texas megachurch founder and wealthy MAGA donor Robert Morris has pleaded guilty to child sex crime charges. Not surprising, birds of a feather.

Last year, PHI barely ever faced split safety looks—teams were too afraid of the run. This year, they’re getting them far more often, and they’re averaging -.25 EPA/db—30th in the league.

Feels like 2023 again. Gotta find answers.

History repeats.
