Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

This isn’t about people fleeing jobs—it’s about power. Greg Abbott wants a midcycle redistricting to lock in control. Democrats backed a ban on gerrymandering in 2021. The Republican Party blocked it.

When we get a real president, I want Jackie’s rose garden restored. I want the Kennedy Center name put back. I want that $200M gold-plated ego chamber demolished. And I want the Saudi jet dropped in the water outside Mar-a-Lardo and turned into a nonstop immigrant welcome tour.

The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.

This was already the least productive Congress in history—and now it’s shutting down entirely because Mike Johnson is terrified of Trump (and what might be in the Epstein files). The GOP’s contempt for the American people couldn’t be more obvious.

There’s money for ICE There’s money for concentration camps There’s money for tax cuts for the wealthy Yet there’s no money for healthcare, housing, food assistance, social support, or public broadcasting. There’s no money to help the sick, homeless & starving Suffering is a political choice

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled. Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

Impossible to sugar coat this. The last month has been terrible for American democracy. That abomination of a bill, including the ICE budget. A series of significant set backs in the courts. And several important institutions buckling or capitulating. We desperately need heroism and courage.

New: Metadata shows nearly 3 minutes were cut from what the DOJ & FBI described as “full raw” Epstein surveillance footage. WIRED previously revealed the video was stitched together in Premiere Pro. Now we’ve found one of the source clips was nearly 3 mins longer than what was released

The FBI's Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Had Nearly 3 Minutes Cut Out

Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either. This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

To the “I voted for this” crowd: You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters. That’s what you voted for?
