Bragging that you ended 7 wars... and then changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War seems incongruous.
RFK Jr. Worst person of the day 😐 You’re a charlatan’: Cantwell slams RFK Jr. for rejecting vaccine science www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.
Turns out, murderous dictators don’t trust murderous dictators. Go figure. 🤷🏽♂️
Trigger warning!
i am watching clips from the kennedy hearing and one thing that comes across is his petulance at being challenged. he is like an overgrown baby (if that baby were a hot dog you grilled too long)
Imagine ordering 8 fighter jets to scream over Epstein survivors so they couldn’t be heard — and then asking the public to believe you’re innocent.
Time to connect some dots. Multiple judges - including a panel for the very conservative 5th Circuit - have ruled that deporting people under the Alien Enemies Act is unlawful because it’s a war time statute and we’re not at war. So. Start a war as pretext www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
No one knows exactly what was on the Venezuelan boat that was struck by the US military, but the fact that the strike was okayed by the president’s son suggests that there was no cocaine aboard.
Rafael Devers es un cabrón.
As Trump attacks unions and occupies our city, we’re called to remember how we got here. Labor Day would not exist without the workers who fought and died at the Haymarket Massacre and the Pullman Strike in Chicago. It’s not a coincidence he’s targeting Chicago:
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
It’s hard to focus on the growing existential threats abroad when your own government is intent on killing you.
180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
CARTOON OF THE DAY
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
Today's my birthday and I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump will send me one of his amazing handcrafted cards with a beautiful Sharpie-drawn woman on it
Technically, RFK Jr's first job was being a Kennedy.
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Yeah he's not beating the allegations
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
NEW: Nadler will not seek re-election, citing the need for a new generation of leaders. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
My friend thinks a police escort is a call girl who fucks cops.
Brilliant.
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
“States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Govt in counting & tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, tells them.” Trump claims. This is untrue, the US Constitution describes a decentralized, state-controlled election model. www.wired.com/story/trump-...
As we begin September, Democracy Docket is tracking 139 voting and election cases is 40 states. 13 in Georgia 13 in North Carolina 10 in Texas 9 in Arizona 8 in Pennsylvania 8 in Wisconsin Democracy is on the docket! www.democracydocket.com
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
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.
Go on. Take a wild guess who was president both times.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Fatality.
My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.
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."
California stepping up.
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Let that sink in.
Let the record show that I have never in my life hoped to hear that someone is dead as much as I am right now.
‼️ 🤢🤮 WARNING 🤮🤢 ‼️ RFK Jr showering while (totally scripted, loser-of-a-wife ACTS like he shower-bombed her promotion of her product line. Sickening on so many levels. youtube.com/shorts/-5Ilq...
I hope he is reading how many people are hoping he’s gone for good
#bookban #UCP
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

As the leopard is eating their faces... "Another deep drop in Las Vegas tourism numbers showed visitor numbers declining by 12% in July, and resorts are making less money from the tourists that do make the trip." Hey they voted for this. 🤷♀️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf8S...
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Gotta hand it to the artist.
He may be alive, but he’s definitely not well.
CHICAGO…
As a federal operation looms, Chicago's mayor signed an executive order looking to safeguard the city. “Unfortunately we do not have the luxury of time. We have received credible reports that we have days, not weeks, before our city sees some kind of militarized activity by the federal government.”
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…

I'd like an answer, too.
Crimean Telegram channels report explosions in the area of Simferopol airfield in Russian-occupied Crimea. There are reports that aviation fuel storage might have been hit.
MAGA Rep STUNNED into SILENCE As Protestors Takeover Town Hall
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.
“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.
Mark Twain said it best: “Never argue with stupid people; they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” Now you know why the experts are walking out of the CDC.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Proverbs 11:10: “When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.”. This verse is gonna be my defense someday.
I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein

Today’s update from Weirdo HQ.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: Putin is a predator. Putin's proxies have been targeting our societies for years with hybrid attacks, with cyber attacks. The weaponizing of migrants is another example.
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.
The end is very very near for Pedophile Rapist Felon Nazi Fascist Murderer Donald tRump & his reign of terror over the U.S.A. The entire world will celebrate with joy when he is finally gone! The end of Pedo Rapist tRump can't come soon enough. #TrumpPedoFiles #TrumpEpsteinCoverup
Absolutely love this quote, we all should be mindful!
They’re traumatizing kids.

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
All kidding aside, suffering from both leprosy & syphilis at 79 is no joke, but I am sure whatever cure RFKjr is mixing up will get him back on the golf course in no time.

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.
when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work
We were taught to fear communism & socialism but Christian Nationalism wasn’t even on the radar. Genius.
we'll know it's for real when Fox News starts playing Lee Greenwood's rendition of "Swan Lake" on loop
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
any body have a couple of saws grant and i can borrow
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
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.”
