YouTube’s $24.5MM bribe goes to the ballroom and… Naomi Wolf 💀 Death recorded lol. I quietly cancelled my subscription after that stupid letter last week kowtowing to Jim Jordan and it feels great now. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/2….

The vast majority of YouTube's settlement payment - $22 million - will go to Mr.
Trump, according to the filing in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
He has directed that the money be contributed to the Trust for the National Mall and to the construction of a ballroom at the White House.
The remaining $2.5 million will be distributed among other plaintiffs in the case, including the writer Naomi Wolf and the American Conservative Union.

Inside the Pentagon, just like the DOJ and other agencies, it's war between the political hacks and the career professionals... and concerns that Hegseth has gone insane. wapo.st/48HID0N

It's a small comfort, but it's a comfort nonetheless. (While I don't know anybody who attended that church building--I don't think--the Mormon community is small, and I know several people who have friends or family who attend there.) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/2….

No more victims are expected to be found in the charred remains. Everyone who was in the church at the time of the attack has been accounted for, the authorities said.

If he were "prime minister," he could be removed by parliament. This is the wrong analogy, & we shouldn't buy into just because authoritarians like Bannon use it. He is the epitome of the unaccountable bureaucrat conservatives love to rail against when they don't share the right's policy preferences
