When the Catholics were supporting Trump JD was just fine with it. The “right” (which is merely a term of art at this point) have used religion for DECADES. Trump went full Icarus. Their wings are melting.

The new “Muppet Show” on Disney is excellent. I think it’s going to be a massive hit. It’s perfect for the moment. It’s had the chance to be a monoculture show.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated Sen. Mark Kelly’s First Amendment rights by moving to strip him of his retired military rank for reminding troops in a video last year that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders, a federal judge ruled Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing.

Okay, now is the time. Dems - release the filibuster on the CR, make the GOP pass it (they said they will…) and own the cuts. You stood up, they refused to negotiate. Cite air traffic as the reason to reopen the government, avoiding chaos in the skies because chaos in Congress is bad enough.

In the book 1984, which I don’t believe most people who say they have read it have actually read it, the government has an entire agency that just goes back and edits documents to match the current needs. This is precisely that.

SCOOP: A Trump official tells 
@nypost
 that the administration favors Paramount Skydance to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – and a number of rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators in the blockbuster auction. “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important to the administration,” a senior Trump administration official told On The Money. “The Warner board needs to think very seriously not just on the price competition but which player in the suitor pool has been successful getting a deal done. And that points to the Ellisons.”

Man, Trump is on a real legacy kick. All the talk about getting into heaven, comparisons to other presidents in posterity, wants to build a monument because he knows if he doesn’t build it no one will. Well, some MAGA will. They won’t get the idolatry of it. But they’ll make one.

With alt text. Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters
Camila @camilapress
FULL REPORT: Colombian public media reports that a U.S. military strike on a boat on September 15—the second attack on a vessel by the U.S. in the Caribbean that we're aware of—was a Colombian boat and was in Colombian territorial waters.
At least one of the three victims extrajudicially killed in the strike was Colombian lifelong fisherman Alejandro Carranza. Alejandro's identity is confirmed by his cousin.
The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.
