United employees forced a 25 year old woman to return to her seat next to a man who was masturbating because the flight was full. After landing, the airline told the woman it was her responsibility to contact police and gave her a $100 travel credit.

Breaking: A federal judge has ordered Texas to air condition all of the state’s prisons by the end of 2029.
Just over a third of the agency’s 104 facilities were fully air conditioned as of Sept. 1. bit.ly/3TFB0TD

High temperatures violate the Constitution’s protection against cruel and unusual punishment, the judge ruled.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Do you understand how bad you have to mess up for major outlets to be doing primetime interviews with DEMOCRATIC candidates for THE TEXAS RAILROAD COMMISSION
The only color I saw on Saturday night was burnt orange.
Glad to speak with @jaketapper tonight on CNN.

MAGA: "Don't go to college!"
Also MAGA: "Why no white people at these colleges?"

There’s a pretty simple explanation for that UT photo.
For years, the top 6% of Texas high school students got automatic admission to UT. Now it’s the top 5%. It’s completely colorblind. It’s just class rank.
Asian kids are about 5% of Texas graduates, but roughly 21% of the kids hitting a 1180 SAT/24 ACT benchmark. Absolutely kicking ass.
And UT’s own numbers make the “foreign students” explanation pretty hard to square. Only about 4% of UT undergrads are international students.
What we’re looking at is immigrants and the children of immigrants doing all the things YOU SAID you wanted immigrants to do: come here legally, work hard / succeed academically, and assimilate into our culture.
Check. Check. Check.
I’m starting to think your problem with this picture might be something else entirely....

For those just now becoming familiar with Bo French's gutter racism, here's something we wrote in July about his frequent promotion of white supremacist and fascist conspiracy theories - and the general GOP silence. (Link below). Now, Cornyn and some others are calling him out.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett took the stage at Chris Brown and Usher’s concert Saturday night and honored Brown by announcing that his career and impact would be officially documented in the Congressional Record.
Everyone rightly brings up Chris Brown beating Rihanna, but since then, he has been convicted two more times in cases involving violent incidents, had judges issue two stay-away or restraining orders against him involving women, been credibly accused of acts of violence at least five additional times, and been named in at least 16 civil lawsuits involving violence, physical injury, sexual misconduct, or related security failures.
Texas State Rep. Venton Jones also presented Chris Brown with a State of Texas resolution honoring his achievements in music and entertainment.

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel announces his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico will NOT air on ABC tomorrow, saying Trump’s FCC has threatened him, his show, ABC, its affiliates, and local stations over “simple traditional editorial decisions” and guest bookings.
Kimmel says the full interview will instead be posted to YouTube: “In the America we live in right now, that is the best that we can do until November.”
