“The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts” should be a judicial cut/paste job.
Replying to @kyledcheney
NEW: Judge Immergut's says Trump's assessment of "war-ravaged" Portland was not made in "good faith" Even under a legal standard that gives the president "great deference," she said, there's no basis for "ignoring the facts on the ground." politico.com/news/2025/10/04…

President Trump repeatedly lied to the US military’s generals and admirals today. And many of his false claims were on the subject of the military. Details at the link below, but in summary: - It’s not true Biden never said “we have the strongest military" - It’s not true Trump has ended "seven" wars - It’s not true Trump got NATO's defense spending target “up to 2(%) in my last term" from a previous 1% - It’s not true Biden said upon taking office that “we can get rid of” Space Force - It’s not true Washington DC was the country’s most dangerous city before Trump deployed the National Guard - It’s not true that Portland “is burning down" - It’s not true Biden gave Ukraine "$350 billion" - It’s not true that “the Congo” “opened up prisons” to send criminals to the US as migrants - It’s not true the US had "300,000" drug deaths last year - It's not true Biden allowed in “25 million” migrants - It’s not true the 2020 election was “rigged" - It's not true that a judge in the AP's ongoing lawsuit over Trump’s retaliation against the news service for continuing to use the name “Gulf of Mexico” declared that “the name is the Gulf of America” or that the AP’s decision to call it the Gulf of Mexico is “not appropriate" - It’s not true that CNN turned off its camera when Trump criticized CNN during the speech Link for details: cnn.com/2025/09/30/politics/…

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter: "There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

Hard to see why Democrats should agree to avoid a shutdown if SCOTUS is going to give Trump the equivalent of a line-item veto, letting him pick and choose which congressionally authorized money he'll spend and which he won't.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 to allow Trump’s “pocket rescission” of $4 billion in foreign aid funding, ruling that it’s unlikely the groups suing have standing to pursue the claim and that Trump’s foreign policy power outweighs their purported harms.

Back in the U.S.S.A!
Trump is planning to take tariff revenue he charged farmers, to bail farmers out, because they need a bailout because they paid for the tariff revenue.

Well looky who supports using humor to challenge those in power.
Replying to @BrendanCarrFCC
President Biden is right. Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion. That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

I want to thank Nexstar for doing the right thing. Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest. While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community values. I hope that other broadcasters follow Nexstar’s lead.

A law to swell the ranks of conservative professors via quotas, affirmative action, and DEI got it 👍

All public universities should be required to have minimum 50% of their staff be conservative professors by spring 2026. In each department.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit. The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?
