I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care.

We can't allow that to happen.

This is wonderful 💚

Real Betis invited 11 of the club’s oldest members to be mascots this weekend, celebrating their long-held support and International Day for Older Persons 👏

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

Sinclair is caving and bringing back Kimmel.

Money, folks. Public pressure. They dont have the numbers. Remember this and increase the efforts.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

It IS NOT ENOUGH to simply be anti Trump. All the data and polling is screaming this.

Democrats must put inspiring, populist, policy and narratives that voters can vote FOR. There’s no other way!!!

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

a big reason the Disney thing is important is that in the most visible fight the administration has picked, a fight they celebrated winning, ended up as a loss. it's embarrassing and demoralizing. it also shows non-political folks that the pendulum can swing back.

that emboldens all of us to fight.

ben smith, boy, i dunno

Jon’s a freak

shoutout to all the boomers who inherited generational wealth which allowed them to retire early and live off it, but never planned for their future long-term care, and are now slowly destroying their children (and their spouses) financially! way to punt it you selfish fucks

Saying we’re going to have to learn to live with each other and debate in the marketplace of ideas while the president is purging comedians off the TV is why people are not reacting positively to Ezra Klein.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

This is so spot on. He’s absolutely right and it is so, so important to work on this.

Van Hollen Criticizes Democratic Leaders for Delay in Endorsing Mamdani

I really like Van Hollen. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...

America spends more on their military than the next 9 nations combined. Even if we do completely isolate ourselves - which seems like a higher probability by the day - there’s a very small chance that a non-nuclear invasion would be successful. Having a full ocean on either coast prevents that.

This is incredibly illustrative for any and all future tragic events. Their playbook hasn’t just been revealed, they’re too dumb to adjust it.

Once the boy has cried wolf, it’s very hard to believe him again. This is exactly why they’re offering thoughts and prayers and want this news to die down.

I agree that his health makes it hard, but they also have to set an example with him, in my opinion.

Trump’s going to implement more tariffs and cause more chaos because Brazil stood up for democracy, I think that will be the bigger reason why Brazil eventually acquiesces for house arrest for him.

He will get Covid 177 times in those 27 years

Where on earth do you think this will lead us in the next few months and years? Is anyone feeling anything other than resigned or even nihilistic in the past 24 hours?

At least 19 Russian drones crossed into Polish air space last night. This was not an accidental breach or a mistake.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.

We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Don’t forget the sincere thank you, and express your gratitude and appreciation, to your landlord for the privilege of paying their mortgage payment on their behalf

10000% his signature. None of these idiots can even get their stories straight let alone provide a plausible explanation that makes sense.
