Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
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?
My favorite sentence in the New York Times explainer on Mamdani and socialism.
🔥 Volgograd, Russia. Formerly Stalingrad.
This is the way
To be clear: 1. We’ve taken in roughly $150 billion in tariffs - nowhere near a single trillion, much less trillions. 2. Tariffs single-handedly saving our military — which has been the strongest in the world for decades — is the dumbest shit I’ve read today.
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
At Union Station, veterans play a speech from General Mark Milley warning soldiers of the threat that President Trump poses.
"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?"
🚨🚨🚨 This video is just over an hour old now. The judge’s order to halt of the deportation of 600 children to Guatemala was upheld - for now! The person who made this video was threatened. Details on the following post.
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
🚨🏥 AZ Rep Yassansari following up on the conditions in the — for profit prison in Eloy, AZ, holding many green card holders who have committed NO crimes. Video is broken into halves. 1/3 Please share for the world to see.
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
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...
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
Ashley Biden just posted this picture from this weekend with her father. Both look very happy.
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
Concerning...
Taken an hour ago. Healthy and fit as ever.

Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknanan’s clerks this Labor Day weekend
Also, when engaging in resistance using a sandwich, do not take any bites from it first, because DNA. And remember that your condiments can be used against you in a court of law.
I can't wait to find out why this statement is so bizarre.
He obviously knows where he’s going.
I wasn’t super convinced that something was seriously wrong with Trump until he tweeted this
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.
JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.
I'm never 100% convinced that anything is true until Donald denies it.
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.
Brilliant
Still no word from the Washington Post about Trump's latest attack on democracy. But, it is now offering advice to Trump about how to effectuate his tariff plan. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
We told our EU friends to F-off and Canada is just the 51st state. Now our adversaries China, North Korea, Russia and now India are celebrating with ice cream cake.
87 million failed to vote in 2024. Now we got a pile of orange lying ignorant shit till 2028. Trudat eh
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
Targeting firefighters while they work. Dragging children from their beds in the dead of night. MAGA will go to any length. We’ve said it before, eventually the monster comes for us all!
India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. They’ve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trump’s insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their rise…and our subsequent downfall.
UPDATE: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, says that "all of the class members that were on planes today have been deplaned and are in the process of being returned to ORR custody." He add that he didn't file by 4 p.m. because he wasn't aware of the court's order setting that deadline.
Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
NEW: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago. That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
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. 🤔
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.
I do think the DNC has to stop treating new progressives like the plague, yes. But there has to be a give and take there, too - Progressives have to understand that they can’t just badmouth ‘normie’ Dems at will. We’re all on the same side and need to act like it.
That’s simple, actually. They aren’t going after research and healthcare specifically - they’re going after data and verifiable facts period. The entire goal is to keep people dumb and afraid. It’s been their goal to force us into a post-fact society for a long time, and they’re close.
Not even both sides — this is strictly sane washing what is happening. Other presidents have never received as much as this — even FDR got less
Why Isn't Donald Trump's Declining Health Being Covered by Corporate Media? Where are the op-eds & news programs calling for Trump's resignation due to his declining health, impaired abilities, & march towards fascism? Oh, yeah, "both sides" corporate journalism. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Wait! I thought Trump was supposed to be “ending homelessness.” HUD just announced a nationwide audit of Section 8 “citizen status.” Mixed-status families could lose rental assistance, even when kids are U.S. citizens. Families including children could be thrown into eviction & face homelessness.
FEMA employee on leave describes "culture of fear “ among agency employee
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Trump needs to post an unhinged, hateful all caps screed as proof of life
could we all just agree to keep acting like he's dead from now on, no matter what, can we Sixth Sense him please
Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!
Ukrainian Defense Forces struck two oil refineries in Russia last night: ◾️Krasnodar oil refinery: it produces up to 3 million tons of light petroleum products per year (gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel), takes part in supplying Russian troops with fuel.

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
Jasmine Crockett is one Woman I Believe,and I Believe In Her......
So we’re supposed to believe that the Truth Social posts over the last couple days that aren’t filled with terrible spelling and grammar, random capitalization and quotation marks where they don’t belong, with no threats or personal insults, are actually being written by Trump?
Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.
Iowa is leading the way!
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.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders has called for a special Senate committee hearing on the CDC crisis, demanding that RFK Jr. testify under oath about the disaster he’s created.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. What kind of punk ass bitch revokes the Secret Service security detail for Kamala Harris? One that’s petty, small, pathetic, vengeful, and on the Epstein list, that’s who.
“.. 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...
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

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...
Don't get your hopes up, Folks We're not that lucky.
1/Our client was notified tonight by White House staff in the personnel office that she was fired. As a presidential appointee, senate confirmed officer, only the president himself can fire her.
Senator Murray Calls for Immediate Firing of RFK Jr.
🤬
This. Thread.
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
They were invaded! Ukraine did not start this! How stupid is he?
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
🤬🤬
A former CDC staffer adds: “This is the work of a death cult.”
Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
NEWS: Japan's top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa CANCELS his visit to the United States this week. (Kyodo)
Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
Healthcare is so fucked
