Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.
I.E. identify bomb shelters, prepare emergency kits, identify evacuation routes. You have until 2026.
US not prepared for war with Russia, it's recommended local and state governments take initiative due to near collapse of federal agencies under Trump. Unlike previous wars, this one will reach the homeland.
Side quest.. Capitol tour for a some new friends + 150k on stream. Speed is one of the biggest streamers. An audience of mainly young guys. We both encouraged them to vote many times. I hear Vote.org is blowing up. 🫡🇺🇸
India & China to back Russia in its invasion of Europe, will increase trade and manufacturing to make up for current losses. Together they’ll make sanctions obsolete and provide equipment / resources needed by Russian forces. Unknown the level of intelligence & manpower either country will provide.
The United States is urging Europe and other allies to apply global sanctions on India. Too little too late, as India moves to back Russia’s invasion of Europe and help them evade sanctions.
It’s not “if we go to war with Russia” it is “when we go to war with Russia.”
Putin's top propagandist and a former economics professor at the University of Alabama, Vladimir Solovyov, threatened that Russia would “march on Paris” after France’s President Macron called Putin "a predator and an ogre at our doorstep".
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, Netanyahu could kill 53,000, and Putin could kill millions. The table of impunity only gets longer. It’s important to fight tyrants at all levels. #3E
Thank goodness! Thank you from our entire family. We’ve turned to you for healthcare advice since 2020 and you’ve never steered us wrong. Our good docs like the advice/information you share with us.
"'I asked a man in prison once how he happened to be there and he said he had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him if he had stolen a railroad he would be a United States Senator.'"
The media must stop interviewing these ignorant people! Stop helping them spread their lies! Interview the experts who tell us all the truth instead. these awful journalists must be called out for their collusion. Thanks
Rep. Maxwell Frost (D -FL10) today gave YouTuber and streamer IShowSpeed a U.S. Capitol tour. Frost repeatedly mentioned vote.gov and how important it is that young people register to vote. Speed has +43M YouTube subscribers, 41M followers on TikTok and 39,8M on instagram.
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E

"For people who are frustrated with the system...Donald Trump is a remarkable vessel for the frustration. What he is not is a vehicle for the solution. That's where the Democratic party must come in." @govwesmoore.bsky.social joins @johnavlon.bsky.social in the latest episode of How To Fix It:
Tv journalists must stop interviewing these liars!
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
Republicans want us to forget Trump’s Epstein cover-up. We won’t. We’re demanding ALL the Epstein files be released—and putting billboards in GOP districts to keep the pressure on. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/d...

It’s quite outrageous that the authorization has to come from Israel instead of Palestinian authorities!
Thanks. Yes I know that but her party will still run with her younger replacement - I don’t remember his name - and they are improving their chances because Macron’s approval is so low.
US Trump regime is unofficially conducting clandestine influence operations across multiple allied countries including in the EU in particular the UK & France, however, Canada and Mexico face the highest threat level right now. The Trump regime ops are seemingly running in parallel with Russian ops.
We are with Sen. Tina Smith - RFK Jr. must shut up.
House Oversight just served a subpoena on Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate to obtain things like his last will & testament, as well as video surveillance from his properties where crimes were committed. My deep dive into why this production could lead to even more disclosures. youtu.be/Lnj0FCZJNtY?...
Vance knows better but he couldn’t be vice president unless he sold his soul to the devil of Thiel and Trump.
The states need to form legal alliances like NATO to dictate a common response to federal troops on the streets of their cities and to protect vote by mail.
Kennedy might have prospered had he simply been content to continue slapping a MAHA coat of paint on the good work of the government’s actual scientists. Instead, he seems determined to rip the engine out while the car is hurtling down the interstate.
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
It’s exactly what they’re doing in Mexico. In fact, some Mexican “senators” like #lillytellez (a vende patria or traitor) are going on Faux News begging the U.S. to come “save Mexico.” They are openly asking the U.S. to invade Mexico. It’s truly disgusting and disturbing.
Do you know if the French far right is also planning to use Project 25 or something similar? Thanks
(Pro move: look at Israel’s oligarchs and their ongoing financial connections to Russia and “former” Soviets)
Of course Soviet and neo Soviets exist, Nazis still exist and so do confederates. States or political movements may disappear but their loyal subjects do not. There are still Soviets out there trying to destroy our democracies and hard fought rights, they didn’t just stop after the USSR fell.

You actually can compensate people injured by rare but real vaccine side effects, *and* promote widespread vaccination. We've been doing it since a 1980s law that modernized liability for vaccine manufacturers. Don't let RFK Jr. "fix" it. @CitizenCohn:

Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.

“The Death of Trump will not be the end of an era — it will be the beginning of the wake, and America will discover that the corpse has more heirs than the kingdom has crowns.” The Obituarist -
Please continue publicizing these comments especially to maga voters as Vance is close to inheriting the dictatorship. Thanks
The Justice Department had once argued that Ghislaine Maxwell should be sentenced to at least 30 years in prison. Now its second-ranking official—and Donald Trump’s former lawyer—is aligned with a woman whose crimes the department had called “monstrous.”
Love this day 1 ! Hope dems find the guts to be so aggressive. Those ex-gop talk a lot and have great ideas but unfortunately don’t do much to help put them in practice!

"This is the bottom line...They don't like facts because facts are bad for them." Trump's war on facts makes all of us less safe— @neeratanden.bsky.social explains.
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.
It’s obvious at this point that Trump has no intention of leaving office at the end of this term. Fortunately, it seems his heart won’t make it that far anyway. JD is warming up his arm.
A picture can really be worth a thousand words. Thanks
🧐
I like Stuart’s plan for dems
That’s a cute way of saying illegal.
Since returning to the White House, Trump has widely deployed the National Guard, with clear plans to expand its presence nationwide and few safeguards to limit him. And it looks like he might take his use of the military to the polls in 2026 and 2028.
States must pass laws preventing military at the polls and safeguarding voting by mail. Thanks for all you do.
Must pass laws preventing military at the polls and safeguarding vowing by mail. Thanks
Thank you. This is the best way to have accurate info. States must form alliances with each other fast & pass new laws for other actions to oppose this admin re ICE & military occupation of cities.
American federalism goes to work. As RFK Jr. heads down the road of more measles, more COVID-19 and more flu, public health states must develop our own strategies to stay safe.
Gov. Wes Moore: “I’m not a simp. I’m a soldier, and I’m not just going to kowtow…And if you are deliberately coming after our folks…my job is to make sure that our people are going to be okay…I will work with anyone, but I will bow down to no one.”
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A MASTERMIND OF TRADE. WE ARE NOW PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR OUR BASIC NEEDS. YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE TO LOWER PRICES ON DAY ONE BUT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILE, SIR!!
Iowa tonight is exactly why Republicans are redrawing their maps.
“The hiring of an election conspiracy theorist with no election knowledge or expertise is the culmination of this reversal,” said David Becker of the Center for Election Innovation & Research. “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies.”
If you were living in right-wing media world over the weekend, the John Bolton story barely existed. Instead the big news was that Trump’s tariff policy had been TOTALLY EXONERATED. The success of the tariffs is fake news. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-four...
The top story of the moment is the one story that our most influential newsrooms won’t touch: That the United State has become an authoritarian state. presswatchers.org/2025/08/we-h...
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Jordy: I call it the leaky fascist faucet. You have CEOs giving Trump gold, then it's let's do a little gerrymandering, let's send the National Guard into this one city, and the next. And then? It'll be: We need to deploy the military during elections to make sure no "election fraud" is happening.
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.
Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.
"If you want to have a coup against the constitutional order, you want to control the capital city. And if he has control of the policing in the city of Washington...Who's gonna tell him to leave the White House?" @gtconway.bsky.social joins @jvl.bsky.social:
Frost: On one end, we have the big ugly law. And then on the other, we have the federal government occupying our cities.. It's not two different things. It's the same damn thing. These aren't things that distract from one another. This is the thing to enable the other thing,
The latest thing Trump has done to DC: Scare the visitors away. Damaging all the businesses, large and small, that depend on them. Along the National Mall today, 1pm, on a stunningly beautiful Saturday afternoon in late August. (Article and more photos to come later today.)
I will not authorize the use of the Maryland National Guard for any mission that isn’t mission critical or mission aligned. Full stop.
Reminder that Trump is also discarding sanctions, putting pressure on Ukrainians and ending support for Russian-language indepdendent media, all of which encourages the Kremlin www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
The Pentagon is blocking Ukraine from using long-range missiles to hit Russian military targets. No wonder Putin still thinks he can win the war www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Republicans had a choice: expose child s*x traffickers or protect Trump. They chose Trump. They chose traffickers. They are the party of child s*x trafficking.

While Wall Street executives rake in $1,769 an hour, the workers who help take care of our kids get paid less than parking lot attendants. That is crazy. No job is more important than raising our nation’s children. Child care workers deserve a living wage.
