Contact the local advertisers that do business with the local Sinclair affiliates. If they threaten to pull they're ads it will put pressure on them.

Third time (at least) Trump has made a joke or light of killing fishermen, and Vance did it too. They’ve made joking about killing fishermen an effing talking point.

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

If electeds ultimately look at polling data before they pay attention to their inboxes or protests, and mass media —including pollsters—is largely ignoring the public, imho ground game and GOTV efforts are more important than people realize these upcoming elections.

The labor market is frozen. Young people can’t find jobs. Layoffs are accelerating. Why? Because Trump has plunged the economy into uncertainty with tariffs and nonstop chaos. And Republicans are doing nothing to rein in his recklessness.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court. He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...
Justice Eddins went even further in a concurrence joined by two other justices. He flamed the U.S. Supreme Court for choosing to
"steamroll" the First Amendment's separation of church and state by mandating government support of religion. He wrote:
The federal wall cracks. The Supreme Court's recent religious clause cases wreck the relationship between free exercise and non-establishment.... The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary's storied legal minds. Bad things happen unless government and religion are completely separated.
Justice Eddins also wrote about something you and I have been talking about for a long time, which is the conservative supermajority making up facts. He called out Kennedy v.
Bremerton, the notorious "praying coach" case, writing: "As it often does, the Court repackaged and whitewashed facts to achieve a desired outcome." This is the same point that Sherrilyn Ifill has made on the show about how the record in that case, and so many others, is ignored.

It’s time for the DC bar and the DC District Court to investigate DoJ lawyer Drew Ensign. He appears to have violated DC Rule of Professional Conduct 3.1 when he told a federal judge on August 31 that it was his “understanding” that “for these [Guatemalan] children, a request has been made by …
Case 1:25-cv-02942-TJK Document 49
Filed 09/18/25 Page 34 of 43
Finally, the Court notes that even if Defendants possessed the "reunification" authority that
they say nullifies the TVPRA's provisions, the record shows that they likely have not lawfully
exercised it as to most class members. The statute they invoke makes ORR responsible for reunit-
ing unaccompanied children "with a parent abroad in appropriate cases." 6 U.S.C. § 279(b)(L)(H) (emphasis added). Tracking this language, Defendants' counsel represented to Judge Sooknanan his "understanding": "for these children, a request has been made by either their parent or legal guardian." ECF No. 12 at 10. So Defendants, counsel explained, thought it was "fairly outrageous that plaintiffs are trying to interfere with these reunifications." Id. (emphasis added).
