So unifying
I sincerely encourage Riley Gaines to do precisely that.
Chris Christie: Trump ‘wants to be prosecutor in every district where he has an enemy’ “Donald Trump’s not content just being president,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.” “He wants to be a prosecutor in every district thehill.com/homenews/adm...
Networks airing any portion of speeches by documented LIARS, who continue to tell even bigger LIES, and provide them a platform to tell those dangerous LIES to tens of millions of people....is not serious about democracy. They are PART of the attack on democracy. Plain and f*cking simple.
Tatiana Maslany posted an image on Instagram “with text overlaid that says “cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!” Marisa Tomei, who played Aunt May in Spider-Man movies distributed by Sony & Avengers movies from Disney, reposted a call to “unsubscribe and boycott” Disney platforms.”
Harrison Butker, the back-to-the-kitchen, women! Chiefs kicker developing a version of the yips where he keeps missing chipshot kicks far to the right, is one of the funnier developments of this year. Six mandatory workplace DEI workshops will fix this.
New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.
Made it home with time to spare to spin my birthday anthem!
Bye, Disney! (And I have 3 kids, but they'll be OK)

Stop trying to argue with the logic of the right. The right purposefully employs inconsistent logic to specifically in order to make people show it is above consistency. It is purely about dominance. And it also has the added benefit of getting its foes obsessed with arguing instead of fighting.
"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"
Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

As we begin another week, my law firm is litigation 52 voting and election cases in 25 states. We are preparing another half dozen. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight of our time and I am proud that my firm is helping to lead this fight in court.
Authoritarian bullshit 101A.
What he is saying quite clearly is that Pam Bondi must indict several of his long-time political enemies immediately or she will be fired and replaced by someone who will.

My dream is we get a Democrat house and senate next year and impeach everyone of these criminals, including Trump.
Josh Shapiro: "I was on a Spanish language radio program in the Allentown area and the host said something really chilling to me -- that he now has to think about what topics he's going to discuss because he's fearful he might offend federal regulators of the president."
Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
End of 3 weeks in magical EU & UK countries where the there are NO GUNS and the people are NOT targeted & punished daily by the cruel emotional & psychological terrorism of an ignorant petulant vengeful child. Life without Trump is pure paradise. So let’s remove him from power!!!
Crime was already down over 30 percent before Trump ever sent in the troops and federalized the police department. Read: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/08/trum...
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀

Religion and politics in the US is best described as a complex, two-way mirror, with each influencing the other in a vicious cycle of action and reaction. Recent trends show that religion is profoundly influencing political polarization.
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
Judge Chutkan ruled May 27, 2025, that Elon Musk and DOGE lack legal authority—Musk isn’t Senate-confirmed, and DOGE was never authorized by Congress. A lawsuit seeks to end DOGE and reverse its actions. www.axios.com/2025/05/28/l...
Not going to happen as long as corporate Dems are still in control.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
"Rudy Giuliani nursed an injured crow back to life with warm milk, then drove to a place not a liquor store, and then got in a car accident. After this, an unscrupulous stranger littered the backseat of his car with scores of emptied airline-size bottles of Gilbert’s vodka. Two may have been gin."
"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?"
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.

RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
California stepping up.
😆
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
NEW: Jack Smith’s lawyers write to the Office of Special Counsel to say that they’ve read news reports about an investigation into Jack Smith, but no one has actually reached out. “The predicate for this investigation is imaginary and unfounded.” 1/
The trump admin, including Miller is the first U.S. administration to commit treason, blatantly go against laws and the Constitution while lying about nearly every aspect of the government.
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Pritzker gets it.
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.
Pritzker: 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.
I dunno which is worse...Trump wanting to be a dictator or the quisling Republicans willing to step aside and let him become one...
Super-duper pooper-scooper.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
I urge all Californians to vote to redistrict our maps in response.
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."
NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “Some people may not like how @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is talking. You may not find his posts funny. It is absolutely working. His fundraising #’s just came out. $6.2 million THIS WEEK. 200,000 donors… Dems feel like ‘finally someone is fighting for us’.”

Kamala Harris swears in Robert Garcia as Ranking Member of Oversight
During WWII?
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
results matter trump & his regime have increased costs & decreased 🇺🇸's reputation, currency value, well being. They have cut safety nets,weather warning systems, health research, benefits & donations that help people worldwide. 🇺🇸 lives are not safer or healthier. People 🇺🇸 & foreign will die
The lack of self-awareness @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has baited them into is incredible. This is easily the funniest thing Hannity has ever said.
Fire extinguisher?
A federal judge rejected the DOJ's effort to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the Epstein case. He wrote that the government itself is the “logical party” to make the Epstein files public and criticized its motion as a “diversion” tactic.
“'The information contained in the Epstein grand jury transcripts pales in comparison to the Epstein investigation information and materials in the hands of the Department of Justice,' U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, a Bill Clinton appointee, wrote in a 14-page opinion."
IMHO: Trump wants to see who testified, because if those people know about Epstein: they know about Trump. He wants to bully, and intimidate them into silence.
???
You need to run messaging adds for Economic and Civil Rights Policy in conjunction w/ all Trump's crimes, criminal endeavours & his dealings with Epstein Dems, return to being the party of working Americans: Economic & Civil Rights Policy messaging must begin now www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUyF...
Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?
California didn't start the redistricting fight. But we're going to win it.
“This is racial gerrymandering at its worst.” Rep. Al Green told Mother Jones during the Texas House proceedings, where they passed a redistricting plan that could give the GOP five additional seats in the US House.
I find this delightful.

Nancy Mace: "In my time in Congress, I actually helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history, in South Carolina history. So I've worked very hard on the policies that matter to voters here." (Mace is taking credit for legislation she voted against!)
The amusing thing about this clip is the infrastructure bill was literally the first and only thing Nancy Mace brought up in terms of her accomplishments in Congress. Her biggest win for her district was legislation she voted against.
