It’s not that “their own countries don’t want them back.” We’re trying to force a large number of ppl on them all at once that they don’t have the resources to handle. There are far better ways to handle this than…this. Like maybe actually looking for violent criminals and leaving the rest alone.

Blanche on the Trump administration deporting people to third countries where they have no connection: "This idea that we're violating human rights and the president and US is doing something to damage and put these people in harm's way is just categorically false"

On the topic of healthcare… …this crap is happening everywhere and not just with nursing homes. And it’s a perfect example of how our system lends itself to profiteering and worse, outright fraud. skillednursingnews.com/2026/09/buyi...

1) Alito revealing this now is an attempt to rally Republicans in Trump states where Dems lead for Senate. 2) He’s the most partisan R on the court—highly likely he steps down in the lame duck if Dems take the Senate. 3) Doing number 2) makes court expansion even more likely if Dems win in 2028

Because he’s so damned needy and fragile and pathetic, he goes to where he knows everyone will cheer for him instead of risking a hostile audience or just staying home. He’s probably helping us but he makes me so sick that I want him to stay home.

FLAG AJC: Georgia's Republican-led State Election Board has sent a letter to top Trump officials (Blanche, Dhillon, Mullin) asking the admin to (1) force changes to the state's voting system before November and (2) investigate Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

This isn't new. This has always been the case. The only new thing is that it seems to be coming to light more today. The entitlement of men is just being exposed more often today. I find it ironic that some men seem to feel this is a new thing.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 3d ago

We’re living through a time when far too many men — including privileged young men at a frat house in an Ivy League university — feel impunity when it comes to attacking women. I don’t think it unrelated to the impunity felt by the man now occupying the highest office in the land.

Grrrr. Okay. It is illegal to have federal officers at the polls for any reason. They can’t be there to observe and “keep the peace,” they can’t be there to serve/execute warrants, they can’t be there. Which is what makes this whole shitshow so infuriating. The law doesn’t matter.

All talk. No action. Putting Ohioans’ first isn’t difficult. Ohioans have been clear; we need a conditional moratorium to lower costs, end NDAs and protect communities. Ramaswamy is making it clear he can’t be trusted to put Ohioans’ first

Talarico should do this every day until the election. It’s a good bit, and Paxton will be able to better relate to the rest of us getting all the text messages from Talarico.

Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I called his cell to invite him to a debate on Fox News. He didn’t pick up.

Elites that surrended to Trump in 2025 miscalculated, letting his imagined cultural dominance spook them into inflating the price of getting on his bad side. But now the logic of collective resistance has been confirmed as sound. Should have realized this earlier! newrepublic.com/article/2158...

Will they follow through on those investigations and introduce articles of impeachment wherever they find criminal activity, though? Because THAT is the question. Investigations aren’t enough. Without action, they’re just window-dressing. abcnews.com/amp/Politics...

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling. Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

According to a CDC report around 71.5% of adults in the US “experienced fatigue on multiple days over the past three months,” and while I know that people are tired of hearing about Covid, it’s worth noting that one of Covid’s lasting impacts is persistent fatigue.
