Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

One of the Most Dangerous Interviews Ever in MAGA Media Why Tucker Carlson platformed white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

TUCKER CARLSON INTERVIEWED white nationalist podcaster Nick Fuentes on Monday, sitting politely as Fuentes criticized the power of “organized Jewry in America.”

Suddenly, nothing—including the racism, Holocaust denialism, and antisemitism Fuentes has championed—seems to be too hot for MAGA media.

Trump’s Getting Thumped in Court Bad faith arguments, blatant misrepresentations, illegal appointments and politicized prosecutions are turning judges against Trump’s DOJ.

Trump says US will restart nuclear weapons testing

Reporters must stop accepting this. Options:

-Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others)
-"It's your job to be informed"
-"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?"
-"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often"
-"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"

Meet the Fascists: First Up, Greg Bovino A sector chief of the CPB just got hauled in before a federal judge in Chicago to answer for his actions.

A ‘Death Train’ Is Haunting South Florida The Brightline has been hailed as the future of high-speed rail in the United States, but it has one big, unignorable problem.

great read from @kait.bsky.social trying to solve the conundrum of why America's most exciting train keeps hitting people:

‘He lost us’: Generals, senior officers say trust in Hegseth has evaporated Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders, with his public “grandstanding” widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former ...

This is from the decidedly conservative Washington Times, not the Post.

An honest yet brutal review of Hegseth’s tenure an d confirmation that he was th unserious, unqualified nominee for SecDef that we all knew he was…including the lickspittle GOP Senators who confirmed him.

Lindsey Halligan is no Pat Fitzgerald. The attempt to besmirch Fitzgerald’s reputation was a cheap shot, and one that will undoubtedly misfire. She’s no match for what she’s up against—the rule of law & lawyers who care about it.

I would much rather see a Season 2 of "TASK" with Ruffalo than a Hulk movie.

Trump to hit Colombia with new tariffs amid clash with Petro over drug trade Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Sunday that the U.S. had conducted yet another strike.

Just a reminder that in addition to everything else, a Republican president is unilaterally and unconstitutionally raising taxes as a way of settling his personal beefs with other countries and their political leaders.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

In Shambles The White House’s deplorable policies—including extrajudicial killings, informant handovers, and brazen lies about defendants—have finally caught up to it.

JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer."

JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

Old enough to remember when kids being anti-semitic was the basis for a federal government assault on higher education

I thought that Mormons were supposed to be above paying off refs, but after that atrocity of bad calls and reviews it seems pretty clear that some BYU alumni wrote a big check to the refs tonight. The @big12studios.bsky.social needs to initiate an investigation.

I get it. I’m surprised with the Fediverse that there’s no Hootsuite/Tweetdeck product anymore so you can post once and have it go to Threads Bluesky and Mastadon. Musk ended API access to Hellscape a long time ago, but I left X 2 years ago.

Might have been better to trade for Shedeur or sign Zappe off their PS (with no cost).

But see—post here and immediate engagement and click through 😀

A screenshot of an X.com post by @AdelitaForAZ , Adelita Grijalva, stating, "The people of Southern Arizona deserve representation and I'm ready to get to work. Swear me in NOW! @SpeakerJohnson !" followed by a reply from @GavinNewsom , Gavin Newsom, saying, "It's not even November and the GOP are already rigging elections." Below, a news headline from McClatchy by Nikki McCann Ramirez dated September 30, 2025, reads, "DEM SAYS MIKE JOHNSON IS DELAYING HER SWEARING-IN TO PREVENT EPSTEIN VOTE," with a photo of Adelita Grijalva smiling at an event in Tucson, Arizona, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
