Over 400 aliens predominantly from Honduras entered Mexico on Thursday, ready to make their way to the US southern border… Here’s footage of the caravan. Someone is incentivizing this movement, this is not organic.

THE “WORST OF THE WORST”: A NUN WITH A WORK PERMIT.

Sleep peacefully, America. ICE caught Sister Leticia Ugboaja walking to Sunday Mass.

She had a valid work permit, attended EVERY required immigration appointment and complied with EVERY condition of her court-ordered protection.

A nun. A nurse. Following the rules. Walking to church.

Thank God they got to her before she could receive Communion.

It took intervention from members of Congress to help secure her release. Apparently, a work permit and doing everything immigration officials require aren’t quite as effective as knowing someone in Congress.

So much for “do it the right way" hey MAGA????

ICE: protecting America from the terrifying threat of a nurse with a rosary.

Mike Waltz, the guy who put the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic on a supposedly secret Signal chain with VPOTUS and SecDef and SecState and DCI containing obviously classified info, wants to talk about the press being a national security threat. Got it.

[Dr. Lynn Mary Karjala @LynnMaryKarjala]

@gtconway3d Not only to have an ammo dump, but to announce its location to the world! The same idiocy as announcing the bunker *and* leaving the site open so anyone with a drone could take photos. Of course, the reason is to harness the power of "national security" to get his arch.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Everyone who has gone to military school knows that absolutely the best place to put an ammo dump is at a major traffic junction near the heart of your capital city.

Reichsfeldmarschall Donald von Bone Spurs strikes again!!!

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

So, Trump went on tv and said he was going to deport children who were born here, consider investigating Joe Biden & pardon those who violently attacked our Capitol.
No plan for healthcare other than to terminate it, no plan for lowering inflation or the price of eggs.
Why?
Because he doesn’t give a shit about any of that.
He never did and he never will.

Today, billionaires have yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top. As a result, a billionaire media conglomerate closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s most critical news outlets. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund will co-own those outlets, too.

Layoffs will follow. People from L.A. to Atlanta will lose their jobs, small businesses will lose their contracts, your cable bill and movie ticket will be even more expensive. Dissent against money and power will be even harder to find.

This did not have to happen. Thanks to an extraordinary outpouring of grassroots anger against the merger, a coalition of 12 state attorneys general sued to block it. They beat Paramount in court, winning a court-ordered pause on the merger, and beat them again at the negotiating table, getting the conglomerate to agree to pause the merger until as late as next June.

But the Ellison family does not care about the law. Instead, they loudly threatened to leave California if their merger did not go through immediately. Gavin Newsom caved to that pressure. So did Xavier Becerra. And eventually, so did Attorney General Rob Bonta, agreeing to a weak settlement that will be exceedingly difficult to enforce.

People want champions who are not afraid of rich bullies. Newsom, Becerra, and Bonta did not meet that mark. The people who work in the film and TV industry and the small businesses who support it will suffer as a result. And so will everyone who values dissent in our democracy.

This is not the end. The coalition that fought to block this illegal merger will fight to break up big media. There is legislation pending in Congress today that would retroactively break up corrupt billionaire mergers. This industry was once marked with strict rules so that a small handful of conglomerates couldn’t own everything. There’s no reason we cannot return to that reality. There’s no reason we can’t build on it.

But today is a loss, and that loss will be felt by the people who can least afford it.

Gavin Newsom hands huge win to Trump and his billionaire cronies.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Republicans want to investigate Bad Bunny over "obscene lyrics" that they can't even understand, even though most obscene lyrics were removed from his Halftime Show.

Meanwhile Trump drops F-bombs on national TV.

It's not about obscenity. It's about racism and bigotry.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

First, Trump banned independent news from the White House.

Now, he's launching what is quite literally state-run TV to try drowning out the fact that he and his corrupt administration are failing the American people.

This is truly autocratic behavior from a failed President.

[Staff Sergeant Gonell, Aquilino @SergeantAqGo]

WTF: The White House is set to launch "TRUMP TV" at 7:00 PM ET.

It will be official state-run media.

But look over there…the communist.

Literally shredding the constitution.

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

Sounds good to me! 🎉 This man voted for Donald Trump 3 times and is now ready to “tear the Republican Party down!” The Republican Party is dead. It has become the party of Trump and Trumpism! #VoteBlue

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

I agree…

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

It is exceptionally heartening & critically important to see our fellow journalists taking a united stand for freedom of the press and adherence to the First Amendment provisions, while those organizations banned from the White House challenge the process exactly where they should: in a court of law.

Our national symbols matter, and they belong to all of us—not just one man.

A big thank you to everyone who turned out to protect the Kennedy Center this weekend. Keep going.

Judge Sullivan has ordered Todd Blanche to turn over the unredacted handwritten FBI notes from interviews with a victim who alleged Donald Trump sexually abused her when she was 13–15 years old. The deadline is fast approaching: September 24 at 11 AM. And Blanche could face contempt if he fails to comply.

Katie Phang reports on the latest.

Mark Carney just got a standing ovation from European Parliament after he takes a stand against Trump.

The world doesn’t respect us anymore. The world is partnering against us.

America first means America alone.

BREAKING: Nearly every Democrat in the Senate just signed onto Senator Elissa Slotkin’s letter demanding Pete Hegseth provide a full accounting of the cost of war in Iran. Democrats are demanding accountability for Hegseth’s incompetence.

Yesterday, we lost a cherished member of our family.

We got Sunny at the start of our second term in the White House, and all of us – including our first dog, Bo – immediately fell in love. We also had trouble keeping up with her, for Sunny was a force of nature. Athletic and full of boundless energy, she leapt over the hedges on the South Lawn like they weren’t even there, chasing squirrels, birds and anything else that moved. And whereas the way to Bo’s heart usually involved a treat, Sunny was more interested in having us run around with her, roll on the floor with her, or have her belly rubbed for as long as we were willing.

She loved the girls, even if they were pestering her when she was napping. She loved our team, and would often follow them around, helping them on the job. She was fiercely protective of Bo, who she rightly sensed wasn’t always as alert and attentive as she was. She had her eccentricities: other than Bo, she preferred people to dogs; she was a loud and sloppy drinker; and despite being a Portuguese Water Dog, she hated getting wet.

But as far as our family was concerned, she was pretty much perfect, and for thirteen years, she would be by our side – always loyal, always sweet, always ready for adventure, still fiery and gorgeous till the very end of her days.

We will miss her terribly, and imagine she’s with her big brother now, making sure he’s okay.
