www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... Happy Tuesday. This is a feel good report from The Atlantic. Lots and lots of lawsuits going on...
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

$218 million down the drain
Good luck explaining to your grandchildren why we crossed known climate tipping points. “Oh, we wanted to let big companies pollute for free,” won’t have much appeal.
Rosh Hashanah is coming. Time for Miller to reflect and repent.

The woman had 11 children...what are the odds that one would be wacky doodle? Maybe he should investigate that...
The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is planning to use the US military to invade US cities that vote Democratic because, in addition to raping children, two things that animate him most are rectifying narcissistic injury and hating Black people. Call your reps 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump
My eldest came of age in the era of school shootings & EVERY nightmare she ever has involves an active shooter. She overheard me talking about the harms of smartphones & schools banning them & said… “YOU CAN’T TAKE OUR PHONES IF YOU AREN’T TAKING THEIR GUNS” So, anyway, fuck the #GOP #ItsTheGuns
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
🤣🤣excellent-keep ‘em coming, Newsom!
😂

FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
⚡️ Orbán’s campaign manager was ousted 3 days ago. Fidesz is 10 points behind in the polls—the most ever—and the election is only 8 months away. Orbán’s eldest daughter just moved to NYC yesterday as well. REMINDER: Hungary took over the US Heritage Foundation! www.szabadeuropa.hu/a/gyurk-andr...
PPV Stoning is the most popular and most painful and from what I've heard the best ratings of all time. He'd appreciate that doncha think...but what do I know 🙆🏽♀️🙂
Chicago keeping art alive:
Don’t look away
Yeah, you should.
Gavin Newsom Slams GOP's Inaction On Guns In Wake Of Catholic School Shooting "We cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings," the California governor posted online Wednesday. #MOG8 www.huffpost.com/entry/gavin-...
In Atlanta, staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gathered to applaud colleagues who resigned following the firing of Director Susan Monarez. With four top officials stepping down, many now feel that the CDC is effectively finished.
The most important thing about the Cracker Barrel logo is the Epstein Files.
Awesome 🤣
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
Whatever country I visit in the world I see so many dog lovers. “If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.” Mark Twain
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
With pleasure.
Please amplify Sen. Patty Murray's comments. Unless you're cool with all this, and haven't had enough yet. www.murray.senate.gov/senator-murr...
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

To be clear I SUPPORT the 2nd AS WRITTEN: "A well regulated militia...". No one is regulating citizens with guns. Too easy access. Too little oversight and regulation. Too difficult to take them away from people we need to take them away from.
photos.app.goo.gl/qNwD7DiPTnkU... Chicago just won a $4.8 million lawsuit against Trump Tower in Chicago.
Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
Very scary times we live in.....
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: “We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired."
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
The qualified are pushing back…En Masse
Great idea.

RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
Or everyone stops believing him. Even his base will grow tired of the lies. The Atlantic has a great article on his credibility gap — David Graham. In The Daily yesterday.
Whatever works 😂we’re in!
The Minneapolis shooter was apparently a fan of several mass murderers who were motivated by the same "Great Replacement Theory" that has pretty much taken over the Republican Party.
Perfect
There are plenty of healthcare professionals, parents, teachers, legal advocates and just about everyone else I can think of who would support you.
I don’t know if this qualifies as spilling the 🫖 But release the damn Epstein files already.
Submit to your mother, Charlie… she deserves a second chance to set you straight…
Yeah the bruising is the least of his maladies!
Hah!
HAHAHAHA more nonunion labor servicing Trump. FDR is puking somewhere...
"Soft Secession"...blue contributes more $, all sectors so we withhold. Leverage. "The gov't becomes a hollow structure of noncompliance." Eg. red states outlaw abortion, blue states hoard pills. No active resistance, just refusal to help. Already in play. Read cmarmitage.substack.com 👍👍
Pritzker's speech: everything you wanted, everything we needed to hear. Sweet home Chicago.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Ugh. Where are the hackers when you need them?
“President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law..." Lisa Cook. Full stop. Tell the press no need to speculate further.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Love this man.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Hurry up.
How do you ban Anne Frank and support the Israelis? GOP Evangelicals should be in the DSM.
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank
"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story." Governor JB Pritzker

Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
#USDemocracy Are @politico.com and @parkroseperma.bsky.social onto something!? 👇😲
Never forget that the reason we're all here is because roughly a third were 'cool' with the idea, and roughly a third were too 'cool' to bother participating.
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.
Trump, give it up. No one believes you. Not now. Not ever. Thank you.
🚨 Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ⏰ it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a “suspicious person” in 2025.
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.

Last week, we saw an escalation in retaliation by the President and his administration, revoking security clearances from career intel officials and firing one of our Generals for delivering intel he disagrees with — this makes Americans less safe. I joined @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social to discuss.
A posthumous and "unsparing" memoir by one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent accusers, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, will be published this fall. "Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice" is scheduled for release Oct. 21.
Awesome. Love it.
Just walking around the hellscape that is my Chicago neighborhood this morning
Oregon and Pennsylvania become the latest states to reject the DOJ’s efforts to acquire private voter data, joining states like Maine, which denied the initial request last month. Pennsylvania’s secretary of the commonwealth called the efforts “concerning.”
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
Biden authorized the funding for this bridge. In any case, the finer point here is that the president of the United States is THREATENING TO DEGRADE THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF MAJOR CITIES IF THEIR LEADERS OFFEND HIM. This is front page news!
Here, fixed it.
Does Miller drive?
I hate this guy...openly. What a douche. Anything to oppress anyone anytime, that's the GOP.
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
this person gets a raise...stat...
