Did you hear about the woman who was in Labor & Delivery at Walter Reed this weekend and Melania was walking thru on a tour? Like why is she at Walter Reed on the holiday weekend? (Maybe he is there in the basement?🤞) Unless her ass misunderstood what Labor Day really was 😭
Between the supposed road closures, black trash bags filmed being tossed out of the residence, and the Polonium ride with Putin theory, idgaf either 🤣
Well I’ll be. Walter Reed is still blocked off.
Hi, what the fuck is going on at Walter Reed?
Amplify if it’s garbage idgaf
A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.
They even know...
Yes

EPA Fires ‘Dissent’ Statement Signers The EPA fired agency employees who signed a June declaration decrying moves that contradict science and undermine public health www.scientificamerican.com/article/epa-... as Labor Day weekend started.
The US debt is nearly $38 Trillion. The idiots at the White House claimed they brought in $8 trillion in tariff revenue in <8 months. The US debt has increased in that time. It’s all lies, lies, lies.
I’m gonna need every company to include an AI op out button. My God. It’s everywhere and so obtrusive and not helpful.
To the Maga cheering because "gold hit an all-time high" today... You realize this is because the value of the dollar is crashing, right? This is your president wrecking the US economy. And you're cheering him on. biz.chosun.com/en/en-intern...
Most likely the announcement is something like this.
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities

He’ll know if he’s dead or not in two weeks.
So, he is still unable to work.
We shall see, won’t we.

Eighty-four years ago today German Jews were forced to wear the yellow Star of David as another way for the Nazis to discriminate and dehumanize them. This also spread to other Nazi-occupied countries like France and The Netherlands.
OOoooof...the kiss of death for the Oysterman. Just ask Gillum and Kucinich
And I'm a smart girl but it's a dark day in hell when I'd put that on a dating app because 1) who says that as a come on and 2) it would only scare men off.
I dont care what actually happens to him, but let's all be clear we're blaming jd vance no matter what.
I'd say safely by Friday you can put it in.
Look I'm just trying to decide when to put the Veuve in the fridge to chill😂
Another dispatch from the dating app wars: Men, if you are intelligent, trust me, I will know. If you say you are, well, then I'll also know, but not in the way you think.
put your kid on the fucking bus this shit is so stupid
You did good!
Really not doing anything to dispel those stroke rumors, are they?
They need to incorporate that policy at usopen. It's gotten out of hand and so distracting to players.
someone stop these vulture children 😭
disagree. I'm tracking against other dictators and the consolidation of power if Trump dies now will not transfer.
"We need her in the box." Venus on Serena. I guess we're going to watch Serena transform into Oracene!🎾
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Venus, "Hey everybody." [roar]
Yes. AND. He can't last because he doesn't have the cult.
Give us a twirl! #USOpen
Venus and Leylah are victorious! They reach the quarterfinals of the #USOpen with a 6-3, 6-4 win against Zhang/Alexandrova
Doesn't matter! Spreading a million rumors!
I'm going to enjoy watching Venus turn into Oracene before our very eyes. 🎾
HOLY SHIT! #VENUS🎾
He is worse, but he has no followers.
Life's tough on the S. S. Ego.
LOLOL
A three hour tour...
I hope Fernandez/Williams becomes a regular thing because this is great. 🎾
The grin on Venus Williams' face after this ace
She'll next go in a barrel
This ship isn't carrying aid. It's way too small.
A series of strokes took out Lenin.
Yeah and this. :(

Sorry forgo Marky!

Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

To understand how good the Czech women are at tennis, appreciate their entire country is the size of West Virginia and they have two women now still in the draw.
Další český postup do čtvrtfinále US Open. Muchová přemohla i bolest zad a zvládla třísetovou bitvu Karolína Muchová porazila i přes zdravotní potíže Ukrajinku Martu Kosťukovou 6:3, 6:7, 6:3 a stala se rekordním čtvrtým zástupcem českého tenisu ve čtvrtfinále US Open. Turnajová jedenáctka...
Tenistka Karolína Muchová postoupila do čtvrtfinále US Open. Ve tříhodinové bitvě vyřadila Martu Kosťuk 6:3, 6:7 a 6:3. Znamená to, že mezi nejlepšími osmi ženami jsou tři Češky – kromě ní ještě Vondroušová a Krejčíková. (USO) https://denikn.cz/minuta/1824636/
LOL totally.

Almost a third of all companies in Russia were unprofitable in the first half of 2025, the highest level since 2020, analysts calculated based on Rosstat data. The main reasons are expensive loans, weak demand, tax increases, sanctions, and rising costs, including due to wage increases. 1/3
CHICAGO IS IN THE STREETS! #LaborDay #DefendHigherEd #WorkersOverBillionaires
Remember that it cost Russia 1 million casualties and 1 000 days to occupy 1 percent of Ukraine, and now the pace have gone down with 20 percent. So, instead of it taking 240 years and 100 million casualties to occupy Ukraine, it will now take 290 years and 120 million casualties.

RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
Seconded by this nerdy millennial! That being said if people get accurate news / analysis and new ways of looking at things in video form that they wouldn't get otherwise , we really shouldn't' clutch our pearls too much or shame people about the medium it is presented in. @badtoss.bsky.social
I mean chronologically can't be faked.
Not about this specific case exactly but I’ve long believed that the racist animus aimed at cities overwhelms a secondary motivation — people projecting their own regrets onto the city to redeem some of their choices.
An example of how a "jury of our peers" can work to the benefit of the average joe. The malicious prosecution going on here is absurd.
"We know less real information about Donald Trump’s health than any president in modern times — arguably since JFK’s doctors covered up the extent of his pain in the presidency. Much of what passes for health information from Trump is laughably exaggerated, so bare bones as to be equally dubious..."
Wow Asheville NC Workers over Billionaires: a band performed by the protesters for a very energetic rally!
"What other times have powerful leaders been ill and concealed the truth? This is a dynamic that happens to a certain degree with any older or infirm leader, in part because most cultures have absorbed at least a whiff of a fascist ethos, in which weakness is seen as shameful."
Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
If Trump is not out in force tomorrow, holding forth, answering questions in real time about events that happened today, he's dead.
Why do Smeg toasters never go on sale.
When the lung tries to break asbestos fibres down to carry it out of the lung, they just get smaller instead - and sharper! This causes repeated injury to the lung tissue... and the more times the body has to heal something, the more chance of a cell becoming cancerous. #Chrysotile #MinCup25
No. 23 Naomi Osaka defeats No. 3 Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-2, to reach the #USOpen quarterfinals versus the winner of Kostyuk- Muchova. This is Osaka’s fifth trip to a major tournament quarterfinal. Each time she has reached the quarterfinals of a major, she has gone on to win it.
They act like they never voted for him.
