The objective of Republicans has always been trolling liberals, not achieving any helpful goals. The simpleton Ronald Reagan is a good example. He blathered on about how much he was in favor of smaller government. Well, guess what? The federal government was *larger* when he left office.

He’s the single worst Democratic hopeful now (almost) running for president. Democratic midterm candidates be warned: stay away from him.

Seventy-one years ago, THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD debuted on CBS in U.S. (day before in UK). Full of anti-fascist sentiment and storylines under the guise of entertainment, the show was a smash hit with kids and parents alike. Unbeknownst to most, it was written by scores of blacklisted writers.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.

WE ARE NOT MAD ENOUGH. The cops who have been arresting us have TEN TIMES the city budget money that our parks and rec centers do. When our schools close and our rec centers close, where do our kids go? Meanwhile, Mayor Parker managed to transfer $91 MILLION this year for 250 celebrations.

CNN is about to travel the same dark path of WaPo and CBS News. They will say it's not true. They will ask you to ignore what you see and disbelieve what you hear. Instead, I suggest you support independent media. You can start with Democracy Docket but there are many others. demdock.com/4w6emld

@mayor.lacity.gov, you do not have direct firing ability over LAPD chief McDonnell, but given his refusal to abide by a court order to turn over documents about cops moonlighting as ICE, you have a responsibility to ask your board of commissioners to force his ouster. We need o hear from you both.

No responsible news outlet should go to the White House as long as this ban on their colleagues is in effect. It’s time for big media to show some backbone. Also, any apologies about that embarrassing WHCA dinner yukking it up with Trump and his apparatchiks? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/19/b...

The prohibition on certain journalists was a stark escalation in President Trump’s war on the media, and will probably face a legal challenge.

Jewish students at Wilfrid Laurier University returned from celebrating Rosh Hashanah to find mezuzahs on their residence doors smashed and torn down. Smashing mezuzahs in a university residence is an act of hate and intimidation. No student should ever have to experience this.

Exclusive: These international observers have monitored US elections for decades. This time, the Trump admin didn’t invite them
It’s the latest ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy — and adds to concerns that the administration wants to undermine the vote.

Unsurprisingly, 60 Minutes ratings are down. What people like Ellison don’t understand is that many of us wouldn’t watch CBS News, including 60 Minutes, if you paid us. Like Bezos, they don’t understand that consuming content is as much a statement of values as anything.

I also saw the @nytimes.com refer to Jared Kushner as a “dignitary” (see front page) and I just can’t believe this is where we are. No wonder people aren’t in the streets. Legacy media have been getting us used to fascism for 10 years or more.

@attackerman.bsky.social reported on the Amnesty report at the time, and astutely compared it to the torture boxes at Gitmo, where Ron DeSantis, as a young military lawyer, oversaw the torture. So once again, mainstream media is months behind independent media. www.forever-wars.com/torture-tech...
