More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Private Planes and Luxury Yachts Aren’t Just Toys for the Ultrawealthy. They’re Also Huge Tax Breaks. What’s the only thing better than having your own Gulfstream jet? Why, getting to claim millions in tax deductions for it. All you have to do is make a case you’re using it for business, which turns o...

Taxpayers aren’t supposed to deduct losses from something that has no hope of being a profitable business.

But billionaire-owned operations that look like expensive hobbies, like race horses, rack up business deductions by the tens of millions of dollars.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Tennessee man arrested, gets $2 million bond for posting Facebook meme Larry Bushart posted a meme on a local Facebook page about Charlie Kirk. He now faces years in prison.

Everything about this is bonkers. The arrest, the charge, the possible sentence, the **$2 million bail.**

A Scandal Covered in Tahini Plus: Both hatred and grace at Charlie Kirk’s memorial.

"Democrats should apply all the pressure they can.

This is both a real case of corruption and coverup, and a colorful one.

As Cava says in its ads, 'You shouldn't have to choose substance over flavor.' This scandal has both."

Brendan Carr’s FCC is an anti-consumer, rights-trampling harassment machine The White House’s personal censor.

While people are suddenly and uncharacteristically paying attention to media regulation, please take a moment to notice all the massive harm Brendan Carr has done to consumer protection and public safety as well

Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash

NYT: “Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border czar, was recorded in Sept 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover F.B.I. investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later shut down by Trump admin.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Pentagon demands journalists pledge to not obtain unauthorized material Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is imposing strict new rules that would severely limit the ability of journalists to report on the Pentagon.

In unrelated hearing on DC with DC leadership, Rep. Ro Khanna is introducing a motion to subpoena FCC Chair Brendan Carr to come testify before Oversight Committee after the Jimmy Kimmel cancellation

Kimmel’s suspension prompts free-speech Republicans to reconsider their boundaries One Republican said she no longer considers the First Amendment to “be sort of the ultimate right,” as she would “in normal circumstances.”

GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis: "Under normal times, in normal circumstances, I tend to think that the First Amendment should always be sort of the ultimate right... I don't feel that way anymore." www.semafor.com/article/09/1...

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social I look forward to your piece defending ABC silencing Jimmy Kimmel.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Tell ABC what you think. support.abc.com/hc/requests/...

Also cancel your Disney+ account.

Disney/ABC just caved & pulled Jimmy Kimmel for political reasons.
Nexstar — which owns The CW + 200+ local ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX stations — is part of the same machine.

💥 Boycott Disney. Boycott Nexstar. Boycott their advertisers.

Hit them where it hurts: the $$$.

Alt text: Screenshot of a news excerpt. It reads: "On August 19, 2025, Nexstar announced its intent to acquire Tegna for $6.2 billion; the acquisition would give it 265 stations in total, serving 80% of U.S. television households. In an interview with CNBC, Sook stated that the purchase was a move to '[play] offense and defense to maintain a vital industry for America and a vital resource for information,' and place Nexstar 'on a level playing field with Big Tech' in a 'fragmented and rapidly evolving marketplace.' Sook stated that in the 35 markets where this would create duopolies, Nexstar planned to keep station operations 'autonomous.' The agreement comes ahead of a possible loosening of FCC ownership limits by the second Trump administration." The words “CNBC,” “Big Tech,” and “second Trump administration” are hyperlinked. There is a reference marker [127] at the end.

It's important to realize what precipitated this was Nexstar announcing they pulled showing Kimmel on their affiliates. They're currently waiting for the FCC to loosen restrictions to enable their massive merger. This was as much pay to play by a corporation as it was censorship.

After Trump’s FCC chair, demanded ABC take action against against Kimmel for his comments on Kirk, Nexstar, the largest operator of ABC affiliates announced it would pull Kimmel from its stations

Then ABC said it was taking Kimmel off the air

Nexstar is seeking FCC approval for a $6.2B merger

NEWS: A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, a state lawmaker in Illinois. There are no reported injuries.

It’s astonishing that more political pundits don’t realize this when they argue against trans rights.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button
