It’s odd that the president would need to give an Oval Office address about something as arbitrary (albeit idiotic) as moving Space Force or renaming the DoD. I have to assume he’s doing it because he knows the world thinks he’s hiding.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN down new South Dakota law imposing a nine-month deadline to file ballot measures declaring it unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Congrats to Dakotans for Health and their legal team! www.democracydocket.com/cases/south-...
A judge ruled that Trump can't act as national police chief, declaring that the president broke the law when he deployed troops to Los Angeles.

ICE is on track to gain access to controversial spyware designed to hack phones and read private messages after the Trump administration jettisoned a Biden-era order.
. THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . . ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ .
America is falling apart due in part to the sycophantic ideological idiocy of this incompetent compromised corrupt impostor and NOW she is raking in millions to put her disgraceful unConstitutional unethical behavior in print. This is one book that deserves to be BANNED and BURNED! #MAGAIsADisease

It’s still hard to believe we’ve come to this.
Where's his hair? He looks like he's on death's door. He needs to address the media.
Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
RFK Jr. should never have been confirmed in the first place, so the question of him resigning shouldn’t even arise. But the spineless GOP congressmen caved to Trump, even those who knew that putting RFK Jr. in charge of the Health Department would be a disaster that harmed citizens.
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
so what do we imagine they were throwing out of the White House windows, and to what purpose?
"That is why I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it." Yes, there is a difference.
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
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.
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
It’s bizarre !
Pritzker: "We want more help—civilian law enforcement help. We would like ATF agents to help us take more guns off the street. We would like FBI to coordinate with local law enforcement to help catch perpetrators. If they do that, we'd welcome it. That's not what they're doing."
Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Rudy Giuliani hospitalized after his "vehicle was struck from behind at high speed.” Thots and prayers.
🚨Children🚨Killed by🚨ICE Say their names. Their lives mattered and their deaths were govt. sanctioned murders. 1/2
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
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."
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:
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)?
Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
Still thinking it's funny that the Chinese knock off of the Cybertruck is so much cooler than the Tesla version. Not my thing at all, but at least can see the appeal.

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. 🤔
Our TV president is avoiding the TV. Suspicious AF
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
Sorry food workers just know I've been there. I feel for you.
I like the rebrand.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
California stepping up.
"If you don’t want to tear it down and start from scratch, you’re part of the problem. If you *do* want to tear it down and start from scratch, congratulations, you’re hired." Not much more to it than that.
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Fatality.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
USING OUR MILITARY AS POLITICAL THEATER‼️
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
WTF are all you commie libs talking about? He looks great!!
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
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
Eliminate The Pedophile Party
CHICAGO…
Oh
We were taught to fear communism & socialism but Christian Nationalism wasn’t even on the radar. Genius.
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.
I wonder how Chump will try to distract from this. Invade Chicago probably. Let Fox cover Chicago. Everyone else pay respect to the victims.
They’re totally going to do this.
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
A huge fuck you to everyone who told us we were "overreacting"!
Go figure, yet another illegal action. In a major blow to Trump’s global trade war, a federal appeals court ruled that many of his tariffs were issued illegally, upholding an earlier decision from the federal trade court.
NEWS: ACLU pushes to revive criminal contempt proceedings against Trump officials
Only the best experts for 47.
Robert Kennedy Jr. is a fucking lunatic. Period.
The past 12 hours gave all of us a sense of just how huge the nationwide celebration will be when he finally does kick the bucket. 🎉🥳🎊
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
👇🏽🎯
Did Joni Ernst see the writing on the wall for her prospects in an off year after the Iowa special election? Or did she just not want to hear "We're all going to die" quoted at her forever? @jvl.bsky.social and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social talk Iowa and Joni Ernst's shock retirement:
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
The full quote is actually somehow more insane. He says something along the lines of being able to "see the mitochondria imbalance" in kids by just walking past them. A guy with no medical degree, no medical training, etc. It's just the Center for Disease now.

Excellent question.
Their freedom of religion allows them to believe what they want, including twisting customary understandings of Christianity into something unrecognizable. My freedom of (and from) religion allows me to call out behavior no benevolent deity would ever endorse...and oppose intellectual monkey shit.

The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.
Macron basically called FDT a bitch.
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
