“Things happen”
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Absolutely deadly behavior causing another crash on Spruce Street at 5th st early this morning. This is on the busiest bike lane in Philly with over 1,500 riders who use it daily.
We deserve so much better than paint and flexposts, we deserve real protection.

George Wallace on the 1963 civil rights March on Washington: It’s all a bunch of communists trying to destroy America.
Mike Johnson on the 2025 No Kings rally: It’s all a bunch of marxists/socialists/Antifa trying to destroy America.
The GOP playbook: Same as it ever was

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats.

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...
Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

If we ever win again and the new government is progressive it would be cool to have some sort of new deal situation where they hire tons of people to undo all the damage that’s been done, like fixing the govt websites and stuff. Huge public works stuff

I got a flat on my ride which stinks, but I threw my bike on the 21 to get back to West and everyone is just watching the Eagles blocked kick TD on a loop on their phones.

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.
It says something about Trump’s all-out war on free speech that the New York Times couldn’t find a more credible person than “presidential historian” Craig Shirley to defend it. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...

very interesting thing just happened: EWR had a complete ground stop due to “thunderstorms” despite no storms in a 200 mile radius. The only flight to leave from EWR in that window? Air Force One.
sure looks like Donald Trump just shut down EWR for 4 hours so he could watch a soccer game!
