Mobile billboard rolling thru downtown Washington DC
Probably not a great month to go out fishing in the Gulf now. The US military might be your judge, jury and executioner.
I’m old enough to remember when we had 47,000 congressional hearings over Hunter Biden allegedly making money off his father’s name. Meanwhile, Trump’s corruption, in the billions, gets openly celebrated.
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
Oh gawd, we're back to arming teachers as a solution
Trump: "These are hardcore criminals. We took many people off the streets of Washington DC. They're hardcore. They're not gonna be good in 10 years in 20 years in 2 years, they're gonna be criminals. They were born to be criminals, frankly. They'll cut your throat and not even think about it"
So he's admitting what we all knew, that this is only the beginning of a police state.
Trump: "I'm very proud of Washington. It serves as a template and we're going to do it elsewhere. But Chicago is certainly gonna be high."
Who's the guy in beige suit, in Sept!
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump is really tough on crime, folks. So tough. That he allows Ghislaine Maxwell, a pedophile, to move to a minimum security camp and an Israeli official, arrested for trying to have sex with a minor, to flee to Israel. Any questions about this?
BREAKING: Judge Breyer rules that President Trump's deployment of the military to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, says Trump is using military as a "national police force with the president as its chief." Injunction granted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

MAGA, right? www.axios.com/2025/09/01/t...
And in that, I thought it was a stretch to have low birth rates as their reason. I thought that would never be an issue for real.
Yea, um, so it never occurs to these bros to get an education and apply for the jobs they think foreigners are taking?
“I keep seeing these memes where Indians are bragging about taking our tech jobs,” said Ely, 36. “So I said, ‘Oh yeah? Well I’m going to work with these guys that are going to arrest you, slam your face on the pavement and send you home.’” wapo.st/3VrzEJg

Something is going on with him. WH released trump 11 life lessons today on YouTube? And him younger golfing and playing volleyball?
Now we really know we're in trouble.
Good grief. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-r...
This is what a united front looks like -- nine former CDC directors who served under both Democratic and Republican presidents explain what's not normal about RFK Jr and how we all lose when he attacks science. Leaders in other fields need to unite against autocratic capture of their institutions.
Trump has no public events scheduled today.
I don't think that's bruising. Looks like discolored hands. I have see that in many elderly/older people and it's usually a circulation issue and/or CHF.
BREAKING: Deaths from a 6.0 magnitude earthquake in eastern Afghanistan rise to at least 610, and more than 1,300 people injured, a spokesman for the Taliban says.
And I think they're starting to realize it. At least some. But we need CEOs and biz community to step up too. Veey important.
I understand your point. We're on the same page.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
🤣🤣🤣 I mean, this is ridiculous. If people don't wake up soon, their ridiculous lies will only stretch.
I hear ya. But technically, that doesn't meet the definition of enabling. They failing us, failing democracy because they too slow to react. Stuck in party traditions. Should have woken up and changed things 10 yrs ago! 😖😡
🤣🤣🤣
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
Where are the people around him that should have known and prevented? The guy was a loner! Also, even when some have been reported law enforcement didn't stop them in time. So take away his access to assault weapons and let's have better screening for gun applications. FFS, it's the guns!
Yes, well, I think I already wrote that Dems typically stick to norms, and don't use same aggressive playbook like GOP/MAGA. It needs to chg! And RBG should have retired under Obama. Such hubris to think, at your old age, you can stay in office (bc another Dem will be elected.)
I know. I commented all during the prosecution of him, when they finally took action, that laws need to chg with the times to move faster. Or hire more attys. Esp when it comes to democracy and holding people accountable for an insurrection!
I agree. I think it was same as w/ Nixon, "let's move on for the good of the country" BS, instead of holding people accountable. J6 should have been a no brainer for garland. And the stolen docs? They gave him way too much leeway, like 1.5 yrs before they went to MAL to retrieve them. Such BS!
Also, SCOTUS effed us. We almost had trump.
So Biden was supposed to fire garland? That's what trump does & authoritarians, not democratic (small d) presidents. It's all on garland and DOJ. Also the law moves very slow, too slow.
1) i put the blame on garland solely. He had the power to move way faster to prosecute trump. 2) the law moves very slow. 3) trump used every single delay & stall tactic possible. His rights w/ our laws. 4) SCOTUS delayed decision then gave him immunity. We almost had him, could've stopped him.
Garland is 1 man, not a they/entire Dem party.
The very rich Peter Thiel is behind a lot of the destruction of pur democracy going on right now, and he thinks the rest of us little people are just in his way.
You can say a lot about Dems but they are not enablers. That would be the complicit GOP.
Dems not enabling it at all. They're not in the majority. There's little they can do but they are doing what they can. Do we need more from them? Yes. Again, I think they've been in shock, slow to realize and come up with plan. For reasons I already stated.
I don't know or care, really. So much to worry about. What Harris says in her book is not my concern at all. Like zero. ✌️
I truly think they made of different cloth vs MAGA. Dems for most part play by rules & norms. GOP now MAGA break em. Starting in 90s thx to Gingrich. MAGA want power so bad, don't like progress, they'll do anything to control because they know they don't have the majority support in this country.
Again, do we really need her? I don't think so. And she's probably done focus groups that show folks see her as somewhat irrelevant. I want more from people currently in office, from law firms, CEOs/biz community, ex-military. Their voices matter. Not a former candidate that lost. ✌️
I think many Dems are still in shock. They think biz as usual, play by the books, etc. MAGA has already broken norms, it's well past time Dems start to play by different rules. We the people want that.
As I wrote, most write books. It's their historical acct of "what happened in the room." It can be informative & helpful as to how/why decisions were made. But I have no insight into Harris'. Helping save democracy is another matter. As I wrote, many of us can walk n chew gum. Let's hope she does.
"I still think the Democratic Party believes it's fighting a party. It's not fighting a party; it's fighting an autocratic movement. And the only way to defeat that movement is for the Democratic Party to forget about being a party and lead a pro-democracy movement to fight back."
I see them, after outrageous lyin press interviews, gather and say how was that? Lol, your delivery was so sincere, they'll believe it, lol! High-fivin each other.
gosh I wonder why they fired this bro
Agreed. This is one of the most disgraceful, infuriating things this admin has done. Along with giving her family 5 mil. When we take back control, this has to be the 1st thing we undo, incl taking back whatever is left of the 5 mil.

Bonfire of expertise: Trump drives scientists, spies and soldiers out of government
Public servants should face the public. So why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their faces? Check out our mobile billboard driving around Washington, D.C. right now demanding federal agents take their masks off!
Republicans used to be against federal government overreach—but now they're silent as Trump seems to be forming a personal paramilitary force.
the mystery of Schrödinger's Psychopath has been solved
Many of us can walk n chew gum. Perhaps she plans to use this platform to speak out. Who knows, who cares? I don't think she carries much weight after losing. Nor before that as VP n senator. We need others--congress, ex-military, ceos, etc. And us protesting, peacefully, by the millions weekly.
He's been on truth social, tho, no?
And I was planning a quiet evening ... paulkrugman.substack.com/p/an-emergen...
They all write books. What's wrong with that? It's good to learn the view points of those in power, read their memoirs or autobiographies on them. We got way bigger probs than Harris writing a book.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
Social Security’s chief data officer, Charles Borges, submitted a whistle-blower complaint this week detailing how DOGE uploaded the confidential personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an insecure cloud server (NYT story below). Today Borges resigned, citing his persecution.
This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history. Committed by a government against its own citizens. I don’t think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months. Era-defining.
I'm confused. You're on instead of Deadline WH? Love you both, just confused...
Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.
Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.
In a two week period: Trump fired 7 of the 8 members who do independent federal oversight on nuclear waste. Peter Thiel (Palantir) is found to be backing the first privately developed uranium enrichment facility in the US.
Only half a mil?
This right here.
Supposedly he hated children. Who hates children, FFS?
😡😡🤬🤬🤬
Disgraceful.
2 of my favs! Thank you for all you do!! 💪
Honored to work with Stacey - who is one of the strongest democracy defenders i know!
@stuartpstevens.bsky.social says Putin couldn’t have been more efficient if he’d ordered it on Amazon…
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Karoline Leavitt without a shred of irony: "Decline is a choice."
Just heard drucker on msnbc, Katy Tur show but a sub for her. Drucker is awful! Typical person who downplays everything trump says and does. 😖 I hope MSNBC isn't testing him for a Jennings type for their network. I'll stop listening.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
He wants to raise money for his personal use
and don't forget this from a few months back:
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
You know what else might be involved...guns, guns might play a role in all these senseless killings.
TYM!
🤣🙌
You can't have vaccines or cancer research but RFK definitely wants you in a wearable that can transfer your health data to unsecure databases or have it shared with third parties, as Charlie McGill writes. prospect.org/health/2025-...
OMG, TYM!! But doesn't it work? It's a legit stopgap??
Go to each of the credit reporting companies & request a credit freeze. This means no one can incur debt under your name (including you, but you can unfreeze it whenever you want). This is important since Elon's DOGE punks have put our SS numbers online. Experian.com TransUnion.com Equifax.com
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
What does he mean, freeze your credit? Thx.
It just gets dumber every fucking day.
