Did they have something taped to the Secret Service agent's back so the #OrangeWhipTreasonWeasel would know who to follow?
Very cool!
Funny not funny......
It’s probably Steven Cheung.
I'm not convinced it's him. Eh.
Is it just me, or does this not sound like him? For some reason, I miss the THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
At this point, if anyone falls for this, they are truly stupid and do not deserve the money they have.
Trump spent part of his Saturday night posting that he wants to sign new executive orders aimed at voter ID and mail-in ballots. That would be unconstitutional. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
D.C. statehood is a silly, unnecessary idea. A better solution is to make it part of Maryland.
Outrage is not action. "Committees are cul-de-sacs down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled." – Sir Barnett Cocks
Y’all are still at it? I haven’t seen the timeline this united since… well, ever.
Welp, it looks like she sucks just as bad as Alina Habba at the lawyering thing.
"The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires." - Warren Burger, former Chief Justice, U.S. Supreme Court
"The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies — the militia — would be maintained for the defense of the state." - Warren Burger, former Chief Justice, U.S. Supreme Court
"The gun lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud — I repeat the word ‘fraud’ — on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime." - Warren Burger, former Chief Justice, U.S. Supreme Court
These people are beyond stupid.

A message for JD Vance and anyone else in this Administration that is pretending they care about the safety of our kids. They don’t. All they care about is the political approval and profits of the gun industry. And they show it every day.
When his son began kindergarten this week, educator James Kassaga Arinaitwe flashed back to his own initiation into school, growing up in Uganda under far humbler circumstances.
I really hope this gets challenged (and stopped) in court.
One more reason to stop flying on Ryanair.
Well, this is Goebbels.
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
D.C. statehood is unnecessary, shortsighted, and would be a waste of taxpayer dollars. Just make it part of Maryland, folks. Problem solved. #SayNotoDCStatehood
The GOP is preparing to change Senate rules to make it easier to adopt Trump’s agenda and confirm nominees. Good thing Manchin and Sinema “preserved democracy” with their performative bullshit. Dems have to quit holding themselves to standards the GOP won’t meet.
I want to say something like "See? Democracy works!" but really it's just the nicest sort of Schadenfreude. 🤫
Let's get rid of the Electoral College.
So not so different from garrison life.
"May" indeed.
I'm sure Schumer, Schiff, Jefferies, etc. will come out and soundly condemn the President's actions...in the mildest terms possible and in about "two weeks." It's frustrating being a Democrat today.
This was probably that dimwit kid from New Canaan.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
“I’m watching the military becoming co-opted by politicians, and where that leads is some really troubling places. If that happens, the roots of our democracy are in extreme danger.” -Retired Brigadier General Greg Smith, who spent 35 years in the Army National Guard. tinyurl.com/2sburkxa
This is absurd. The President does not have the sole authority to condemn people to prison for expressing what is widely recognized as a protected form of free speech. Trump is a one-man clown show.
Except nobody boycotted American Eagle.
Damn right. Make good trouble. 😠
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
Abrego Garcia judge is critical of the gov’t’s position & prohibits his deportation to Uganda at this time. The gov’t’s, undoubtedly expecting this agrees not to deport.
For decades, I've been fighting to make sure insurers don't discriminate against patients with mental illness and addiction. I've passed 2 different laws to make them pay these claims. But now Trump is taking the insurers side. I hope you watch this. It's an important story.

Our constitutional republic does not have any provision which allows a president to enact a criminal statute by executive order that would put people in prison. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Will there be protests in Israel because of this?

Let's not forget that Roger Clemens also took performance-enhancing drugs. I'll skip the tour if he's inducted.
So not a "hostage-release-while-stopping-the-Palestinian-genocide" government? 50% doesn't feel like enough here.
It’s been 13 days since Trump militarized DC. Crime is on the rise. Trump owns it.
Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on reports that Trump plans to deploy the military in his state
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Trump whitewashing slavery is the ultimate act of white privilege from a nepo baby who is the apotheosis of white privilege,” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes.
Nobody - it is usually listed as "anon."
Oscar Wilde never said that. It's a quote often misattributed to him. The closest thing I've found is another quote also misattributed to him: "Some people bring happiness wherever they go, and others whenever they leave."
If you’re trying to make it harder for people to vote, stop pretending to give a shit about democracy. Every American - regardless of their political views - deserves to have their voice heard.

More reason we need to overturn Citizens United.
And if Democrats would STOP accepting big money for their campaigns, we'd be better off, too.
I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.
Why does #Kegsbreath dress like a carnie manager?
If you think Trump's heart is with Israel, then you do not pay much attention to American politics. He couldn't care less about matters of faith, as his primary motivation is whatever benefits himself, which is primarily money or adulation. Wake up, please.
"A MAGA occupation of a left-leaning city." If you look closer at what's happening on the streets of LA and DC, you'll see this is more than just "fighting crime"—it's a politically partisan occupation. @dfriedman.bsky.social reports on what's happening in the streets of DC.
While this is likely, it could also be due to them being tired of the #OrangeWhipTreasonWeasel flip-flopping on tariffs. 🌮🌮🌮
10 weeks. Thats all it took. Look at that happy face
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.
Sending some to the Gaza Strip would be nice.
Thanks, Adam. Anything on D.C.? The Epstein Files? Russia/Ukraine? Etc.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.
I hate agreeing with him.
Trump said the goal of the summit was a ceasefire. If no ceasefire, there will be consequences for Russia. Putin gave Trump the middle finger. Said he would continue fighting and committing war crimes. Trump said ok no problem. Putin's in charge. Trump follows orders.
It’s really wild that Fox is calling Newsom’s tweets immature and unbecoming of a leader when he’s literally just mocking the way Trump tweets. 🤣🤣🤣
Laura Loomer as the Rasputin figure in a decaying American empire really does make total sense. An attention-addicted College Republicans washout who looks like she told her plastic surgeon "just keep going until I say stop" is our rough equivalent of a Siberian sex wizard.
“Sloppy” and “Incompetent” A few words that accurately describe the Trump Administration www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...
So it's not just Kegsbreath?
Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” turns 28 today. The song “didn’t belong to an elite group of musicians,” said Boff Whalley. “It belonged to people. People at football matches, people singing along — people at parties drinking too much whiskey and tripping over the kitchen chairs. People like me.”
Gavin Newsom is holding a press conference today on redistricting and DHS agents have arrived masked up and in full gear. Many are armed with guns.
Don't forget: DOGE is still effectively cutting Social Security. Here's how.

there's gonna be some wild video when these schmucks move on new york city

Trump: Since 1978 the Kennedy Center honors have been amongst the most prestigious awards. I wanted one, never able to get one. I would have taken it. I waited and waited and waited and I said to hell with it, I'll become chairman. I will give myself an honor. Next year we'll honor trump, okay?
This is A+ trolling
My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.
One man, the son of Holocaust survivors, said, “People being kidnapped without arrest warrants, without trial, without recourse, by the president of the United States’s ICE armies ... We are not headed toward an authoritarian fascist government; we are already there.” trib.al/f5JzLeJ
Friends Fans, Lisa Kidrow is so funny. She impersonated the Taco Cult to a T! #arresttrump
Shocker.
A faction of MAGA is currently going after a Medal of Honor recipient for his political beliefs. I’m not even mad about it, just profoundly disappointed. Some things used to transcend politics, but now? Nothing is sacred. It’s gross, and we have to be better than this.
Breaking News: President Trump is removing the head of the IRS from his job, according to four people familiar with the matter.
Welp, here's the real test of Texas democracy. I can't believe I'm thinking what I'm thinking. How depressing.
Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”
True! But I also believe that people tend to show their true selves if they're bored. Then they can't blame it on booze.
Hey JD! Has anyone ever called you a #bluefalcon? 🤣🤣🤣
Trump admin says everything is hunky-dory at the VA. But we found that the number of doctors at VA has dropped each month since Trump took office. Nurses are way down too We got the records. www.propublica.org/article/vete... by @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social @vernalcoleman.bsky.social and me.
