Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

The NYT, which wouldn’t call the ads illegal, now euthanizes Trump’s comment as “likely to add fodder to another formal complaint against the president.” See presswatchers.org/2026/09/the-...

The day started off with great news, with a historic win stopping wall construction across Big Bend in Texas. Then came the news about the "Grandmother" Cottonwood tree in Arizona. After 71 days of protesting, the Border Agents arrested folks and killed the last remaining tree. Why? What the fuck! 🤬

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

NEW EPISODE: When asked earlier this year if he regretted not seizing voting machines and ballots after the 2020 election, Donald Trump said, "Well, I should have." Now he's telling us exactly what he plans to do in this year's midterms, and this time, we should believe him. youtu.be/MBLiMjSXros

I don't find the Schmitt Senate fiasco remotely funny. It's just McCarthyism but more incompetent. It's appalling, & a constitutional order that can't end this level of unserious lying & extremist nonsense isn't worth saving. We need massive institutional reform to make sure it never happens again.

Fetterman is garbage. He betrays the people who fought for him when he was at his lowest point - and that fight is the only reason he’s in the senate. Now he’s actively working to raise money for Republican PACs.

Several times, people have called in missing persons reports after family or friends disappear, leaving abandoned cars or children and pets waiting. It only became clear what happened when they popped up in ICE’s locator. Now, they’ll simply disappear, potentially to never be heard from again

Every reporter who was on board Air Force One when Trump abandoned it as a decoy to be attacked knows exactly which administration staffers were also left as sitting ducks there. There's a real opportunity here to get some inside dirt from people who have every right to be bitter and spiteful.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption
Within hours, the White House agreed the patient surveys painted a clear picture, the people said. In an internal call, the White House aides approved statements from the public health agencies for public release — though they still only identified Taco Bell as linked to the outbreak, without naming Taylor Farms specifically.
Taco Bell moved first, releasing a statement. While it did not explicitly name Taylor Farms it said it believed "public health is a shared responsibility among restaurants, their suppliers, and authorities, and we are proud to have consistently acted quickly and proactively to protect our guests."
The agency updates on the outbreak were finally posted after 10 p.m. New York time - hours behind schedule - and also omitted directly naming Taylor Farms or saying if the company would recall products.
