Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

This is more freedom, right?

"You said autistic children are a burden. That they ruin families. That they’ll never pay taxes or write poems. That they are, in essence, collateral damage. I’d like to introduce you to my daughter."

This is only the *second* dumbest thing I've heard him say today. Bravo, Zuck www.theverge.com/meta/659506/...

What was it that @actblueorg.bsky.social is being investigated for?

When your brand erosion exceeds the benefits of a weaker dollar. Some decisions are non-economic. 💔 @financialtimes.com

Seems bad?

Trump confirms his plan to send incarcerated U.S. citizens to El Salvador. Can you hear me now? www.threads.net/@aaron.rupar...

Just to be clear, this post earlier is now a crime 👇

Well said. substack.com/@sykescharli...

Future flight bookings between Canada & the US have collapsed. Comparing total bookings held at this point last year with those recorded this week for the upcoming summer season show bookings are down by *over 70%* in every month through to the end of September. www.oag.com/blog/canada-...

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points. She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine. “Deport Elon, Deport Elon!” Watch to the end…

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Republicans are refusing to hold town halls. Schumer's just locking his door

FOX's headline is obviously dumb, but this is the energy missing from most Dems at the moment youtu.be/gEinZzXFcXM?...

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

Because an attack on corporate greed is an attack on the American people?

Seems bad

TRUMP: You have a man who has let a country that had the more beautiful cities get demolished. The most beautiful domes. FOX: But that's Russia's fault, Mr President T: 1,000 year old domes. Everything is demolished. It's sorta like Gaza F: That's Putin's fault T: I get tired of listening to it

A terrifying and beautifully written warning of where we are. h/t @djrothkopf.bsky.social davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/the-shriek...

It's funny. I've been on the receiving end of a couple of what I thought were really cutting resignation letters, including one that was IIRC twelve pages long. They don't compare to this.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening? In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control. Call it what it is.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

🤌

NYT editors are really something. the Times's own reporter getting beaten with a rifle is relegated to "was also assaulted" at the end of the subhed. a soldier swearing at and pointing a loaded gun at another isn't mentioned at all. and the story doesn't start until the 13th graf
