Phang: The judge notes that the MacArthur Park show of force was just sheer political theater. Major General Sherman, objected, expressing concern that there would be a large number of people because it was Father’s Day. To which Bovino criticized him, questioning his loyalty to the country.
We don’t know if the 11 people on the boat killed by Trump were gang members, were carrying drugs, their names, their criminal histories, what specific drugs were on the boat. In a real operation, DEA/military would have already provided details #TrumpMurder www.bbc.com/news/article...
Trump Doesn't Pay NG For Housing Allowance Stealing money from the NG! bsky.app/profile/papo...
Exactly right. The military is not to be turned against the people in our streets. Trump is spoon feeding the media and morning joe bit on it big time. Joe likes to hear himself talk. the big ugly bill cut law enforcement budgets for blue states and red states are the most dangerous!
Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion. It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections. These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall.
The Supreme Court is not about upholding the law anymore. It is an arm of the federalist Society and the formation of an autocratic government run by billionaires who are loyal to the federalist Society. They like suppressing people like women and minorities.
OMG, Trump said he's awarding Giuliani, who keeps a low profile, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. YES Trump is really very sick … !!! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

“This year we’ve had the biggest measles epidemic in 33 years. We had two children die of measles, which we haven’t seen since 2003.” Dr. Paul Offit warns: dismantling vaccine policy under Trump and RFK Jr. has deadly consequences.
I just received notice there’s going to be a military flyover of DC tomorrow at 11am, just in time to distract from the 10:30 press announcement about the Epstein victims. Surely the timing is coincidental.
Maria really is ignorant, and for some reason Fox lets her blather on
If he departs this mortal sphere as I type this, it will do nothing to undo all the evil that his now bruised hands have wrought, to erase every vile thing his presence has exposed as he ascended politically. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-dont-wis...
I don’t know is he safe from the South African billionaire immigrants?
It was a coup!
What is it with all the rich South African immigrants taking over communications in the United States of America to install an authoritarian government here? Immigrant Musk was able to buy a president and harvest all the federal government’s data!! Do we need to rethink who needs to be deported??
“‘The shift from old media to new media is a trend so big some people don’t even see it,’ [Peter Thiel] said [in 2007], noting that new media like Facebook [whose first major investor was Thiel] was going to kill off all others.” By Kara Swisher, 5/26/16 … 1/ www.vox.com/2016/5/26/11...
The Trump administration has succeeded in softening the impact of using the military in our cities. If law-enforcement needs more funding and more people, why did the big ugly bill cut law-enforcement budgets in cities?? the point is we do not use the military against the people of the United States
Finally, a Labor Day reminder Justice Brandeis warned a century ago, "We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." 1 million seconds is 11 days. 1 billion seconds is 32 years. Abolish billionaires. Save democracy.
Excellent point. Low and middle class workers were easily convinced that unions were just taking dues and they got nothing. They turned employees against their representatives successfully. People are way too gullible.
A Labor Day reminder that: •The wealthiest actors are unionized to ensure billionaire financiers cant shaft them •The wealthiest athletes are unionized to ensure billionaire team owners cant shaft them •So what do you think billionaire business owners are doing to non-unionized middle class workers?
A Labor Day reminder that if you enjoy any of the below—thank Unions: •Pensions •Weekends •Overtime pay •End of child labor •40 hour work week •Immigrant worker rights •Decreased gender pay gap •Healthcare via employment •Worker health & safety via FMLA, OSHA, & MESA
A Labor Day reminder that “right to work” is anti-worker, and originally built to uphold white supremacy by protecting employers who refused to hire BIPOC workers. Repeal "right to work" to enact worker protections & dismantle white supremacy. Those who refuse are, per Dr. King, complicit in fraud.
Trump is a very sick man who uses threats of violence and power for leverage of everything big and small. He is destroying this country and changing the people.
Wow, the federal police presence in DC is really hitting the big crimes: "It’s unknown if the running tally of [over 1000] DC arrests promoted by Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice ... includes arrests for bus fare evasion or open container violations."🙄 Excellent piece here!

Your Labor Day reminder that if the minimum wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $28 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $21/hour from working Americans for 60 years. We don't suffer a lack of resources—but from an excess of greed.
How can this be America?
Americans don’t like propagandists like Hannity. The fox audience should know they’re getting played while Hannity laughs all the way to the bank.
Democrats have to take back the house and the Senate just to bring sanity back to the federal government/country and stop this authoritarian takeover using project 2025. Republicans are authoritarians.
What this article refers to as "Trump's playbook" is actually the "Republican playbook." Most of the things we've seen were outlined by the Heritage Foundation in Project 2025. That means every Republican leader will be ultimately follow the same instruction manual to dismantle democracy.
It just keeps getting worse. The #Trump admin is punishing disaster response workers who are sounding the alarm on his FEMA cuts. These whistleblowers are trying to warn us about a "Katrina level" disaster and the admin is trying to silence them. #RemoveHimNow #Resist #ImpeachTheMF
Trump is gradually testing, stretching and gutting the independence of America's major institutions, leaving few stones unturned in his pursuit of unchecked power.
A Trump guts public broadcasting, entities like Prager “University”—a right-wing, unaccredited propaganda machine that cloaks itself in the language of education while spreading xenophobic hate—seek to fill that void. This isn’t an accident. It’s a strategy. www.qasimrashid.com/p/trumps-war...
Do you ever think about the fact that the entire world is at the mercy of the whims of the stupidest, meanest, ugliest person ever to live? That he possesses the legal authority to end all life on earth, push come to shove? I try not to, personally.
President Trump’s attack on yet another Black woman in public office gives away the game – if you were still harboring any doubt – about his corrupt use of mortgage fraud allegations to target Democrats. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...
Trump gives lip service to the poor and working class while giving cold, hard cash to the rich and upper class.
This stuff is all just terrible. Who knows what will happen now since bad people seem to get rewarded.

Authoritarian control of all institutions
In the age of gangsters there is no such thing as bystanders. There are resisters and there are enablers. Everyone of us is playing our part. I choose to stand with those who are kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.
BREAKING: Zelensky issues blunt demand — “Russia must end this war. It started it, and it must stop it.”
Again: this is not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
The American dream is to pay more for our power bills so that a South African Nazi can train his chatbot to call itself MechaHitler and make revenge porn AI videos of Taylor Swift #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall
No question about it utility bills, particularly electric have shot way up in just the last few months. We’re paying to fuel their businesses despite the fact that they’ve got more tax breaks than God and seldom pay taxes anyway. Most corrupted administration ever and right in your face.
Trump has announced that he will try to ban mail in voting. Mail in ballot voting is incredibly secure, but the broader reality is this is just one part of a massive voter suppression effort by Trump and MAGAs to end free and fair elections Here are the receipts: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-atta...
It always seems that Trump comes out of communications and meetings with Putin with new directives that come from Putin. Mail in ballot thing is all fraud came out of a meeting about ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Come on!Putin is using Trump to establish control of America. Russian Asset.
Can someone actually name the "six wars" that Trump keeps taking credit for stopping?
Since Trump is the biggest troublemaker, corrupt crisis creator on earth, it’s just bizarre that he would try to pretend he’s for peace. He’s not it’s total chaos and self enrichment. folks Trump just simply isn’t reality based.

Newsmax has settled with Dominion and will pay them 67 million dollars for defaming them over claims their voting machines were switching votes. Lying losers. Only fraud going on is your sham of a network.
This is how little Trump and the Republicans care about children and their families. Couldn’t be more plain.
Newsmax will avoid a defamation lawsuit trial with Dominion by settling for $67 million.
And yet the president of the United States continues to lie about the election openly repeatedly from everywhere. What is wrong with America? Is it a terminal illness?
Armed ICE thugs showed up in forced on Aug 14, aiming to intimidate Gov. Newsom and bystanders attending his press conference outside the Japanese American National Museum. MAGA hopes to normalize strong-arm authoritarianism, but we mustn't be silenced. We must not cower. 🎥 LULAC (Insta)
Every American Should Be Outraged I am so PROUD OF PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY and ALL of UKRAINE 🇺🇦 America, Always before Trump Republican and Democrat stood up against RUSSIAN AGGRESSION Sad Day for America
Seems every last one of Trump‘s appointments are corrupt and incompetent. Noem has been on the take it seems for quite some time and concealing it because they think they can do whatever they want. Trump found the perfect hiding place for bribes his crypto business.
The video was just suddenly pulled and made private within hours of being released. I was halfway through and it stopped suddenly.
This is disgusting, capitalism and always has worse outcomes
The same people who funded Trump’s extremists are hiding behind groups like Think New Mexico, pushing malpractice caps and rules that protect private equity, not patients. They drained the land, now they are bleeding out democracy and healthcare. 2.
This isn’t about left vs right; it’s rules vs rulers. If you want strong American business, defend the nerds with calculators and the central bank with a spine.
I hope everyone feels safer knowing the AG is personally devoting her attention to prosecuting a guy who thew a sandwich at police. [I suspect she may have started a movement, though] x.com/gtconway3d/s...
Don’t know how many times we have to say it: Social Security is an EARNED benefit. We must protect it for the generations to come.
No healthcare, no food assistance, but Republicans are allowing this kind of spending so Trump can feel like a big shot
Wow, Trump is an egomaniacal narcissistic sociopathic authoritarian who is using government to control every aspect of America. He’s branding government vehicles and agencies, which is very sick. He’s using our tax dollars to make himself personally feel powerful. We have to fight back hard.
@chickgonebad.bsky.social @vespavixen.bsky.social Release the Trump pedophile files Justice for the victims !!!
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
Newsom: "This is not just about Texas. This is about running away with the system and rigging it midterm. We're not gonna sit back passively. Donald Trump does not play fair. You've seen that happen over and over again."
This administration is incompetent and dangerous. No other way to look at it.
Project 2025 called for overriding local law enforcement, flooding cities with federal agents, and prosecuting local officials who refuse to follow its agenda. Trump’s actions match it almost exactly. It's going to get worse. We tried to warn you.
Trump using the force of the federal government to try and intimidate any opposition. authoritarianism.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responds to Trump calling him incompetent. “The president has always been intimidated by the intellectual prowess of Black men, so of course he would speak in those petite and puerile terms. Because he’s small.”

D.C.’s worst day for crime was January 6, 2021. That’s a fact.
The hypocrisy here is stunning from Fox News who has constantly said the 2020 election was rigged and have had hosts say it, and guests repeatedly say it daily, monthly, for years now. And this goof, corrects Tallarico. WTH! Fox is a Russian TV.
"Ghislaine Maxwell remains the only child-rapist in history to receive well-wishes from a president of the United States." Lawrence O'Donnell
Trump is such a dictator. You’d have to be a complete imbecile to not see that what he is doing is taking over everything and putting it under his personal power.
This isn't the 'tRump administration'. tRump is an idiot. It's 'The Heritage Foundation Administration', implementing #Project2025 #Resist #Pinks
Trump: I (baselessly) claim everything I don’t like is rigged! Also Trump: I’m (actually) going to rig everything I don’t like

Breaking: A new nonpartisan CBO report says Trump’s massive tax and spending bill will cut income for the poorest Americans and boost it for the rich. Study after study has shown the same thing. It’s clear Trump's bill is a disaster for everyday people.
(🧵) I wanted to briefly post about the delay in publishing PROOF OF DEVILRY, the 7th book in the bestselling Proof Series. Most importantly, I want to underscore that the book is indeed coming out, and coming out this month. And it will be longer, deeper, and more damning than I originally thought.
#Trump #Epstein #NationalGuard #distraction #DonaldTrump #WashingtonDC #news
Anyone else think it’s amazing that Trump sends the military into just democratic cities declaring fake emergencies. Anyone heard Trump condemn threats to our judges who rule against his administration? That’s an emergency! Why hasn’t the FBI been directed to investigate and arrest those criminals?
Until they can manipulate the data so Trump doesn’t look like the incompetent imbecile that he is.
Where do you think all the untaxed wealth of the 1% can go? Private equity already buys up every house and business it can…the stock market is now a scam for the insiders to steal money from middle class investors, not tied to any underlying value.
