"The US will endorse war criminals and attempt to ruin the lives of people working to bring them to justice" was something every elite understood to be the actual stakes of the 2024 election but the news outlets the elites controlled told voters Tim Walz's trip to China in 1989 was a bigger deal

The Cats are Building Better Biscuits - we can too! A favorite poster from my Cat Republic archives. If you like this you can follow me here for more and visit my print shop on Etsy nathannunart.etsy.com Thanks for taking a look! Thank you, Cats of Yore, for the show.
A cat poster in the style of an old soviet poster. Two cats, a farmer and a baker, shake paws with the arms outstretched toward the representations of their occupations. In the background a visual path is made starting in fields and farms, through a factory, and finally to trucks and and a biscuit shop at the bottom of the poster. Text at top reads "International Brotherhood of Biscuit Makers and Allied Trades" at bottom reads "From Field to Tummy - Building Better Biscuits." A logo of the union is in the lower corner.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

We are aware of multiple stops conducted today by federal agents in the Madera and Fresno areas. We remind the public to stay calm, to verify information, and to exercise one’s rights, including the right to not answer questions. If detained, do not sign anything without speaking to a lawyer. All encounters with federal agents should be recorded and documented if it is safe to do so. Witnesses can reach out to us to share what they see or to seek help.

Chaotic, warrantless immigration raids and roving patrols spread fear and disrupt lives and livelihoods. They do not belong here; hard working immigrants do.

Donald Trump has always been coarse. It's just one of many reasons he was rejected by Manhattan's Upper East Side society, dismissed as a vulgar, unpolished loudmouth from Queens. He was pitiably stung by their rebuff. And resents his MAGA followers for not being able to confer societal pedigree.

Tucker Carlson’s frustrated bafflement when confronted with basic things like “the UK’s GDP is larger than Russia’s” and “in 1994, Ukraine, Russia, US, and UK signed a treaty called the Budapest Memorandum” shows the state of Putin apologetics. Without lies and conspiracy theories, it falls apart.

Always remember, it's not just Trump. This is Public Enemy No. 2: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/o...
Linda Greenhouse
By Linda Greenhouse

Ms. Greenhouse, the recipient of a 1998 Pulitzer Prize, reported on the Supreme Court for The Times from 1978 to 2008.

Chief Justice John Roberts has accomplished so much of his agenda that it’s not easy, as he begins his 22nd Supreme Court term, to think of what unfinished business might remain.

Affirmative action is dead. Roe v. Wade is a fading memory. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is in shreds, rendered incapable of serving its original mission of preventing states from undermining the political power of minority citizens. The executive branch agencies known collectively as the administrative state have lost their independence, with the president now able to fire nearly all agency heads for any reason or no reason at all. Federal judges are no longer to defer to an agency’s interpretation of its own authority, instead being told to decide for themselves the validity of agency regulations. Historical claims that fly under the banner of “originalism” have frozen the government’s ability to regulate the ownership of lethal weapons.

Fed. judge holds that Trump's IRS lawsuit and purported "settlement" which created the Trump slush fund and IRS liability waivers were a fraud on the court. Trump's lawyers sanctioned and referred. Acting AG Blanche catches an ethics complaint for his role. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
These facts lead to the inexorable conclusion that the “settlement” terms, the individuals who signed the “settlement” as well as the putative beneficiaries of the “settlement,” demonstrate a shared, unitary interest. And the unilateral revision and renunciation of the “Fund” component of the “settlement” demonstrate the fact that all Parties were aligned, and ultimately, undifferentiated. This action was never about a party seeking judicial resolution of a legal issue or a factual dispute. The nature of the suit itself and the conduct of the Parties and counsel from its filing make plain that this was an attempt to use the Court to provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer immunity to people and entities affiliated with the President and to earmark billions of dollars from American taxpayers to redress grievances not defined in the law. The President may be the functional “dominus litus” of the Executive Branch, but as a party to a civil suit, he, as well as all the parties and lawyers before a court, are bound by the rules. Ensuring that our courts are used only for the express purpose created by the Constitution is the obligation of every judge and an obligation that this Court must discharge in light of the matter before it.
