This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.

Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
This interview is everything that’s wrong with journalism today. Martha should be ashamed.
Parroting Trump, Raddatz repeatedly attacked Moore for claiming he had a Bronze Star when he didn't. She apparently didn't know that Moore now HAS the Bronze Star that his superior officer told Moore he had earned years ago in battle.
Dean Cain got exactly what he wished for: he collected ICE’s sign-on bonus, was ‘injured,’ and is now out on disability.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
Judge Blocks Flights Sending Hundreds of Children Back To Guatemala “It is a dark & dangerous moment for this country when (Trump) chooses to target orphaned 10-year-olds and deny them their basic legal right to present their case before a judge” www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
What will America be under President JD Thiel, excuse me, I meant JD Vance? Time to start seriously thinking about this as Trump’s health continues faltering.

This is why Republicans have to cheat with maps. They can't win on policy.

“A 14% price increase” When Trump & @MarshaBlackburn tell you there has been no inflation, they’re lying
ICYMI — JUDGE: “This case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcast…” 2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. 🤷🏻♂️ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...

I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Masked ICE aren’t about safety; they’re about fear and evading responsibility. Demand transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition:
The thing about transgender mass shooters is that Trump is in the Epstein Files.
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
“.. Kennedy was acting bizarre, saying he can tell as he walks past children if they are dealing with “mitochondrial challenges” .. Can he mysteriously divine illnesses just by looking? “Our health secretary is a certified quack.” @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

Republican Rep. Stephanie Bice (OK) has canceled her small town hall meeting billed as a "meet and greet" after her Democratic opponent revealed she'd scheduled it in the wrong district.
Republican Rep. Barry Moore was heckled so badly at his Alabama town hall that he literally left out the back door in the middle of the event. Moore didn't offer concluding remarks or even bid good night to the rowdy crowd as they chanted "Shame!" during his exit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
I don’t think anything is out of the question at this point. A quote from my most recent piece: “Pandemics don’t wait for elections. Hollowing out the CDC may score Trump political points with the anti-vax crowd, but the bill will eventually come due, and it won’t be paid in votes.”
Honestly love that the vibe here on a late Friday night going into the last weekend of summer is “gosh I really hope he’s dead, we’re gonna throw one hell of a party”
I’ve never witnessed this many people collectively hoping someone has shuffled off this mortal coil. It’s a real spectacle.
What do you call mass hysteria but that is the opposite of panicking? Mass wishteria?
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
"Air Force Christian Nationalists Honor Domestic Terrorist." thehill.com/policy/defen...
The US Air Force is rife with Christian Nationalists who have no interest in the Constitution beyond the Second Amendment.
When Laura Ingraham was a student at Dartmouth, she attended a meeting of the Gay Student Union and wrote down the names of the attendees, which she then published in the student newspaper. This was a time when it was very dangerous to be outed as gay. She is a dispicable, vile person.
Ashli Babbitt died doing what she loved—being a domestic terrorist.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
shocking
Memphis, Houston, and Kansas City all have more violent crime than DC, but the National Guard isn’t there because they’re in red states. It’s a show of force and, more so, a distraction. Trump wants us talking about anything other than his collapsing health and Jeffrey Epstein.
😕
Good.
Trump: "They call me the president of Europe. Which is an honor." Europe:
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
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.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Trump putting an election denier in charge of elections is like hiring a bank robber to guard the vault. We see you, Donnie.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
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.

Wormtongue needs to STFU. We ALL recognize RFK Jr is only an expert in the taste of roadkill, heroin, and having an intimate relationship with a brain worm. This guy only has a platform to spew his hate and lies b/c he sucks up to a demented old man.
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”
ICYMI — Republican Former State Senator just had his law license reinstated by the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Supreme Court of Tennessee after getting pardoned by Trump for campaign finance crimes. He pled guilty, only did 2 weeks. www.fox13memphis.com/news/brian-k...
Watch what they do, not what they say
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
I’m looking forward to watching Lame Duck Ron Desantis’s attempts to gain traction to revive his dead end political career as a private citizen using money he has to raise himself rather than pissing away taxpayer funds and abusing govt power.
Disgraceful.
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
Donald Trump fired almost all of Puerto Rico’s Oversight Board — because they apparently weren't being nice enough to his Wall Street buddies. Make no mistake: the Puerto Rican people will suffer as a result, through electricity rate hikes or cuts to health care and education.
Kim Jung-un, eat your heart out.
So fed up with Republicans and their sick firearm fetish and their useless, performative prayers after each mass shooting they facilitated.
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.

Badass Women, Superfriends-style. I was psyched to see my favorites together, this podcast did not disappoint!
So excited for this conversation today!! Watch it on TheSirenNetwork.com
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
Gov. Pritzker dropped straight facts. 🔥 We have another Democratic governor who’s a fighter. Keep it coming!
Pritzker gets it.
This is 100% correct.
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
📌NOTE TO PRESS: You are allowed to push back, ask follow-up questions, and correct lies for the record when questioning anybody, but mostly when questioning the most notorious liar on the planet. In fact, that's your fucking job.
J.B. Pritzker got it exactly right, Donald Trump is sending the military to blue cities because he wants to undermine free and fair elections in 2026. Trump believes that military deployments in blue cities is his path to keeping power and Republican victory.
You‘d think the centrists and establishment people would all be going apeshit for Pritzker because they’re always looking for a new John D Rockefeller but I get the sense that they haven’t thrown in with him because he’s a little fight-y and not obsessed with bipartisanship
The orange fraud never paid his $200k Fulton County bond. He walked out on a cashless bond. Now he wants to ban them. RULES FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME.
I'll give you 44 year old Emil Bove for comparison, too.
Ahem
"The Apprentice" was FICTION. Trump was not successful in real estate. He lost a fortune by his incompetence. It was through Daddy's hundreds of millions of dollars, Deutsche Bank loans, and sets built to make Trump's offices look prosperous that was he able to fool Americans about he success.
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
👇🏽
They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.
Consider the irony: "The president"—unquestionably the biggest blowhard on the planet—"is not a fan of wind."
In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.
Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant. They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.
Referring to a mediocre breakfast restaurant as your culture and heritage is one of the whitest things I've ever read.
Warren: He said that with a single phone call he would end the war in Ukraine. He said he would end the war in Gaza. And I think I remember him saying he would release all of the Epstein files… He promised that on day one he would lower costs for American families. We are now on day 215.
