You are welcome...
You are welcome...
(WSJ: free) Update on the state of EV sales currently in the US plus a mention of the cut in workers by OEMs due to the effect of tariffs. The EV sales burst currently is due to Trump canceling the $7.5K incentive for EVs that goes away at the end of Sept. www.wsj.com/business/aut...
Wow......let's keep this one UP, UP, UP!
This is a very Boston question.
Marvelous Sundae Gurl!! Right on the money. It appears somewhat weak for the GOP...
Idiot, just like TRUMP. Takes one to know one. Same Kool Aid?
(NYT: free) In case you have missed, an opinion piece from nine previous directors or acting directors of the CDC. Damning description of the effect that RFK, Jr. is having on the CDC and Public Health now in the USA. A must-read to get the flavor. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Trump and the GOP must have a death wish, along with shitty judgment and fairness.
Look closely, a sighting. Healthy? Not so much. Not talking to press, very unusual. Stay tuned....

stay tuned for this one.....you also, Trump.
Keep Doing That... 😊 #bluesky #animals #nature
I do like this one.....and you?
Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
Right on the money!
Look..Chicago is full of tough Democrats..we've had to endure crooked Governors crooked Democrats Crooked Republicans Al Capone..Pritzker is a bipartisan Governor..he has alot of Chicago Republicans on his side..the Trump Boys and Girls are fooling around with the wrong People.
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):
Trump must have something close to a "death wish" for the few elections in 2025 and the huge number in 2026 when he cancelled multiple collective bargaining agreements. No common sense, no analysis, no wish to NOT hurt the GOP. Stay tuned for more... marylandmatters.org/2025/09/01/t...
This is not new. And we also know the following chapter. The minions against whom Trump turned against, will try to monetize by writing cheap books. We have seen this before.
Maybe American voters can learn from this: NEVER again elect a dumb narcissist sexist felon.
(WSJ: free) This is the joke that is TRUMP—turning on the people he selected and supported and then trashing them or firing them. Root cause seems multiple: no brain for good judgment, takes no responsibility himself, enjoys chaos, forgets one day to the next. Other? www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
(WSJ) If you didn't know, Trump is incredibly stupid. Today, he froze and suspended visas for passport holders from Palestine. For someone who promised to end the Gaza-Israeli conflict in one day, this is NOT the way to do it. Stupid, dumb, self-centered, no brain. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
(USA Today) Trump really only knows "his way" and "threats". After a while, it gets monotonous and boring, frankly. Just the same word salad. But sure encouraging to see how the Chicago Mayor Johnson is holding up and standing tall. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
I can’t wait either! 🔵
Depressing to think about...these cretins just don't care. Then again, brain matter may be in short supply.
#LaborDay2025 🇺🇸 Special Labor Day Message from John F. Kennedy “In the crucial years ahead, organized labor will have much to contribute to the cause of democracy. May they be rewarded in the creation of a better world for all who seek freedom.” www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/sp...
Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.
There are two types of liberals. One group recognizes the danger we're in. The other wants to argue that Barry Goldwater was mentally ill.
This one is fun to read. Done by Gov Newsom but in the "style" of Trump...which has got to piss off the White House in numerous ways. Great message but even better of a copy-cat style that Trump always uses. Perfect. Thank you, Gov Newsom. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social
Hope springs eternal...
(WaPo: free) Don't forget, some fine tests of Trump coming up THIS FALL ahead of 2026. Let's work hard and hope for a trashing of Trump in as many ways as possible. His negative polls have been consistent. They are moving down slowly still. Great news. wapo.st/3I2pNqe
(NYT: free) Trump is going after voting with ID verification and no paper ballots. The Constitution gives those rights to the States. Time to see how the Courts rule in OUR favor. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Been over two weeks I believe. This is not just abnormal for the crazy man who loves reporters and people to list to his crap, but I am betting something is wrong. Maybe I am projecting my wishes. Still, I can hope.
Great summary, right, Trump? Can't think of anyone with these unappealing qualities. Only you have them. Winning.
(NYT: free) This is a very fine article regarding the US and China and the two leaders, Trump and Modi. Fascinating to read how Trump so royally screwed this up, all because of his ego. You'll love this one - no surprise here. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/u...
(WSJ: free) Marvelous article that explains (by reading much of the piece) the chaos inside the WHite House a la Trump, which is just one mess after another diplomatically and even for meetings, presentations, war decisions, etc. Why would we expect less? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
I agree, but that is why, if I were in the Senator's chair, I would have interrupted her and blasted her with loud and very clear language. That is why I am not there, among many other reasons. But I do agree with you.
MUST READ. You will NOT FIND ANYTHING BETTER TO READ IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS....promise. And I think that Trump would love the honesty in this one....whew!!
An excellent exchange......SOUND ON.
Feel safer yet? ICE made a “brave”arrest of two firefighters in Washington state who were part of a crew battling a massive fire. Are they going to march into a hospital room and arrest the anesthesiologist? Or maybe the nurse who is giving CPR? New meaning of stupid!
Once an ass, always an ass. Gorka will never change.
Back to you Speaker Mike...
Totally, completely, absolutely, without question. The Doc is a hero and an accomplished scientist and leader who withstood enormous crap from Trump et al. HUGE Thanks are not enough. Just hope and pray he can live out a calm and peaceful life without the idiots bothering him.
Hey, Trump. This is going to be PRICELESS!! I bet Stephen will mention you a few times. Aren't you glad that you worked SO HARD to have him removed from that last job? I know I am going to LOVE THIS. And you? Oh, cat got your tongue?
priceless...... cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...
(WaPo) Trump's ineptitude in diplomacy plus his tariffs are opening the door wide open for China to unite various leaders around the world against the US. Certainly not a thought that Trump ever had; then again, what thinking does he do anyway? www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
Yup, it takes a level of hate and criminal logic to do this, particularly to children. I assumed that Trump would not be phased by this...or even some of his direct reports, but all of them in the White House? All? Or is it just that they are terrified that he will crush them?
This isn’t politics. It’s not left or right. It’s not conservative or liberal. Cutting funding to treat children with brain cancer is hate and greed.
The Judge is a maximum HEROINE!
When the day comes that the Dictator in the WH is no longer on this earth, I will forever remember those who supported him, and/or failed to loudly oppose him. Accountability is a prerequisite to our societal healing and evolution.
This is going to present a bit of a problem, when you run out of lawyers to do "your bidding." Gotta be a fun time to be in the White House. Sure wish I had a hiddlen camera in there...
I"m thinking that something is not quite right. How about you?
Kind of super to see various heroes show up when they are needed...
(Meidas) "Trump’s fantasy of commanding the world with bluster is collapsing. As Xi, Putin, and Modi gather strength, America risks isolation, irrelevance, and danger under his failed foreign policy." This is so true; we get reminded of it on a daily basis. Trump is the loser in diplomacy.
Trump: your stupidity makes us proud. You are SO consistent in your ignorance. But truly great job in reducing the number of people coming to visit the US. Significant impact on GDP, sales, purchases.....but yea, we know, YOU KNOW BETTER. BULLSHIT, that is ALL that you know.
💯% agreed.....
Loser, flat out. His father must still be turning over in his grave.
MUST READ, PLEASE. More bullshit from the Trump administration, which operates as if we have NO law and NO constitution. Hugely grateful for Judge Sooknanan & her willingness and patience to deal with the White House idiots who tried to pull this off in the middle of the night of a holiday weekend.
Sadly, when Trump figures that HE is SO SMART (I'd love to see his PENN grades, I bet less than 1.7 GPA), he figures he doesn't need to read books. He knows all he needs to know. Then again, what he does know is completely overwhelmed by the LIES that he has stuffed into his head.
Sure..
For context worldwide, no other developed country comes close to the US in # of mass shootings or victims. The US accounted for over 70% of mass shootings over the last 22 years. In 2024, the US had 503 mass shootings (highest was 722 in 2023) For reference, the next highest country, France, with 8.
Well done, John. Really well done.
Ron, this guy CRAVES the news cameras and reporters. There has to be a "reason" for this publicity addict to avoid any press or any video or pictures. No, I don't know answer, but I'm confident that the press will uncover it. Totally confident.
Idiot.
Oh my. This is really shameful, Mr. Colbert....er, Melania. Maybe this was photoshopped? NOT.
The last time that the US had a Department of War was in 1947. I do think that the Orange-Man continues to live in the past, e.g. the forties and fifties.
So glad that Trump et al are focused on such minor stuff in Chicago. While this won't address his many promises made during the election, it makes him happy. And as we all know, his happiness is MOST IMPORTANT TO HIM. Rest of us don't matter.
On this Sunday...thinking sadly of the horror that occurred last week in Minneapolis, 2 children killed (plus the shooter) and 17 wounded. How long will we tolerate this? When will we start taking irreversible steps to prevent these tragedies? The US is unique in the # of mass shootings & deaths.
Oh my. Hoping that you have received help to move forward and find comfort. I feel for you...
(USA Today: free) Further details from the Chicago mayor outlining how Chicago will not "partner" with Trump's ICE and National Guard. This includes not deputizing the Chicago police force. Sending a direct and clear message to Trump. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
(CNN: free) One of the unintended effects of Trump's tariffs, even though I doubt the White House spent any time thinking about this. Other countries are forming partnerships with those they can trust in trade relationships. One of Trump's long-term effects. www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/c...
CHICAGO…
For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
(The Guardian) The Chicago Mayor directs his police department to resist immigration raids when Trump's ICE posse comes to town. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Agree totally. He has no value of any merit on this earth. I wonder at times if HE is the one calling many of the shots in the administration, given Trump's decaying mentality. He makes decisions, Trump nods and then goes back to drooling.
Idiot and madman.
RIght on the mark, let's have more of this.
RIP, Dr. Rossiter. Your work was exceptional and dearly needed, particularly in the time when women received so little recognition on top of lots of crap. Your work will be remembered and valued for decades to come. Rest in peace.
Sorry, while I always appreciate humor, maybe it is my mood tonight, but when the deaths of young people are involved, it's just too much. Maybe tomorrow, maybe never. Apologies.
And I can diagnose him just be looking at him: former drug addict and current idiot.
Agree. Many of us have and read "forbidden books". The Handmaids Tale and F 451 are some of my favorites.
Yes, sadly in some limited places in the US they are banned, but in many places they are not. These are great books....felt by many USA people.
Does Trump have a REAL job? You know, a job that requires that he thinks and does stuff for maybe four hours at least at day? I'm thinking he needs to find a job like that. Time to leave Trump; find a real job that you can do...if that is possible.
