An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

This is a victory for Jimmy Kimmel and ABC and a reflection of the power that national networks have over local affiliates. www.cnn.com/2025/09/26/m...
President Trump implied his admin might take action against journalists he believes have been unfair

The silencing of dissent continues.
I have said REPEATEDLY that no one should try to diagnose Trump from a distance. I also said to @timodc.bsky.social two days ago: Let's not assume we know about his health and have our own Death of Expertise moment.
I realize this makes me no fun.
EJ Antoni, whom Trump just named to lead the nonpartisan Bureau of Labor Statistics, published these recent piece at Heritage:
"U.S.-Japan Trade Deal Is a Masterpiece"
"Trump Hits Home Run With June’s Job Report"
"Trump Wins the First Round Against Inflation"
"Bidenomics Is Crushing Generation Z"
What the hell?

Coming up on @ktla.com: A Trump-appointed federal judge has overturned a Biden-era rule that would have eliminated medical debt from people's credit files -- a leading cause of personal bankruptcy filings. Billions of dollars in medical debt will once again weigh on people's credit scores

Contrast betw Hegseth's preening, and the limited specific answers from Gen Caine, is difference between someone who thinks the world is a (weekend) Fox News show, and someone who is serious about business of war.
Hegseth's toadying comments about Trump impossible to imagine from previous SecDefs.
ICE grabs two gardeners right off his front lawn—leave lawnmower running.
"They left lawnmower going right here on my front lawn," homeowner said.
"Threw my gardeners’ phones in their car along with the keys—left everything open and just took off."
The family does not know where they are now.
COOK POLITICAL: ".. five new recent polls show significant opposition to the legislation .. opposition is twice as high as support for it, and more Americans think that the legislation will hurt them than think it will help them."

Question it. Question everything.
Especially when the chief of the criminal division resigns over it.
All Americans can soon look forward to being imprisoned for no reason, then released so you can be charged with a made-up crime and re-imprisoned!
I urge folks to read the lawsuit. It is a laughable political screed. Filed in Amarillo of course.

How much is 21 million million?
There is nothing subtle or hidden about this. In TrumpWorld, the $Trump coins have become a way to buy a presidency, which is very much for sale. In other words, they are a fraud within a swindle wrapped in a naked bribe.

“TikTok and influencers cannot replace trained journalists. Podcaster opinions are not journalism. But fewer and fewer young people turn on the TV, and they are poorer for that.” barrettmedia.com/2025/05/22/w...
What is at stake is the quality of American governance. Governing according to the rule of law, general principles and impersonal procedures offers many fewer opportunities for bribes and quid pro quo favors than Trump’s preferred approach: target this law firm, exempt that preferred company from tariffs, personally decide which media company mergers to allow. Now that he has shown the path to personal enrichment in the billions of dollars from those currying his favor, lawful general governance is at risk even after he departs. As James Madison insisted, even well-intentioned public officials aren’t angels.
Reposting from last week, now that the unconstitutional plane deal with Qatar is officially done.
Springsteen is becoming the Pete Seeger of our time. That's a good thing.
Finally, a win for Journalism.
One day before tragedy struck, the NYT published a story illustrating the risks of these DOGE cuts to the NWS.
They specifically cited the NWS office where last night's tornado warnings were delayed in the article.
Incredible.
Speaking as a D-Day historian, I think Miller misunderstands who fought for the allies on the beaches. And as the author of a forthcoming Manhattan Project history, it was literally immigrants who got us the atomic bomb.
Speaker Johnson must have missed this Page One NYT spread:
There’s a reason a foreign nation has never offered a 747 to a previous president. Because they’d absolutely say no - be it ethics, morals, security concerns, Emoluments Clause, and/or just plain AYFKM.
Which tells you why they offered it to this particular president.
