With so much destruction in this regime, it's a joy that one wreck is refusing to stay wrecked: the former climate.gov will be revived by volunteers as climate.us with an expanded mission. Transition's still a work in progress, but promising. #ProudBlue www.theguardian.com/environment/...
This is how you make the presidential medal of freedom worthless.
The staff had tears in their eyes.
The man you voted for… abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...
"Every single person deserves to be safe." Unless they are a child going to church in Minnesota, in which case the FBI will be too busy abducting Mexican grandmothers to notice a crazy person publicly threatening to shoot them for a MONTH. She should never show her face again.
This is never going away, is it?
It’s likely CA GOP is responsible for mailers sent to Californians falsely claiming League of Women Voters opposes Prop 50, re redistricting. LWV’s statement below, they are taking a neutral position. Please spread the word. Stop the GOP disinformation. Vote for Prop 50 #Prop50 lwvc.org/prop50/
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
She has options. She could join a few others to form an independent caucus, and then join with Democrats to create a majority. She knows all of this is deeply wrong. Patel, RFKjr, Hegseth, Gabbard, Bongino. She knows that trump is a thug with the morals of a demented rat. She chooses him anyway.
So are we supposed to give her a cookie?
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
sitting here thinking about how much I'd pay to watch him falling into the bushes.
is Q still a thing?
All he had to do was order masks and ventilation of public places like schools and churches. He'd have got credit for being level-headed, and re-elected in 2020. Right now he'd be okay if he'd shut up about tariffs and back off the mass deportations. But he won't.
How old is Newsom today? (57)
This is where I get mad to think about all the scolds saying Democrats deserve to lose because they talk in corporate speak and not like regular people. This is corporate speak, and it wasn't a problem in Alaska. The problem is Republicans. Say it with me. The problem is Republicans.
The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
Did you know Trump is launching AI death panels for Medicare? His admin. is hiring private companies to use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. The AI companies will get a cut of the “savings,” incentivizing them to deny care. open.substack.com/pub/messageb...
Apparently you guys didn't notice that there was no time to focus on this because Cracker Barrel released a new logo design that was meant to insult white heritage.
Not at all. I think we should go with this forever. Every sighting is AI from now on. Eventually, it will be true, and think of all the happiness between now and that day.
I will delete this, but can somebody tell me why everybody thinks he croaked? Is it just the many days off and the weird playlist on the lawn earlier today, plus the references to heaven and the hand bruising that we already knew about? Or is there something else?
pretty sure it's the transitive property, but okay.
same. my entire week would become dancing in the street and reading joyful posts.
ah. so you've been having this kind of conversation for awhile. lucky. :)
It’s easier to purchase an assault rifle in the U.S. than it is to get a COVID19 vaccine. But food dyes and wearable fitness monitors are going to fix everything.
is your younger child 5, by any chance? because that sounds just like my little grandson.
So ... stop trusting scientists and turn instead to ... you? FFS!!
I honestly cannot fathom how this creep landed in our government. It's one of the things that makes me want to leave the continent.
Fire RFK Jr. now.
Friday 🎶 Start of Labor Day Weekend On September 3rd Remember Rep Thomas Massie and Rep Ro Khanna will have a Press Conference on Capitol Hill with #Epstein survivors Believe the Children #EpsteinFiles
Of course. I live near Seattle, which has been utterly incapable of "resolving core problems." I don't think we even have agreement on how to define core problems, much less resolve them. For example, if a core problem is opioid addiction, what exactly is effective treatment?
‼️‼️
So that's the guy leading CDC's COVID-19 work group now. An ops person btw. He has *this* pinned to his profile.
encampments are also dehumanizing. we're just more used to them.
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
Where's my WA gov at?
Mental health ... what he really wants to say is that problem is people who don't go to my church. Your churches are the most likely place to find actual pedophiles. They're dangerous. Also, go ahead and fund school nurses nationwide. That might do some good.
"It's all mine KAREN!" 😅🤣 #cat #catday #bluesky
polis is here on bluesky. you can tag him @colorado.gov and let him know that support for RFKjr is unacceptable.
“[Bill] Pulte got his job in the administration about three years after his wife, Diana Pulte, donated $500,000 to a super PAC backing Trump. The donation was channeled through a Delaware shell company, ML Organization LLC, that Bill Pulte controlled.”
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
and trump voters will still be snickering about how solar doesn't work and people who use it can't watch tv at night. the stupid people lose in the end, and if we keep electing stupid people, that's us.
Billionaire oil oligarch Kelcy Warren poured $30M+ into Trump’s pockets, and walked away with BILLIONS in profit from pipelines and payoffs. While you struggle with bills, they laugh all the way to the bank. This is corruption in broad daylight. #FightOligarchy
DONE. Do this. It only takes a sec.
What the actual fuck.
special election in IA, where D candidate flipped a seat & won by a big margin.
PPV Stoning is the most popular and most painful and from what I've heard the best ratings of all time. He'd appreciate that doncha think...but what do I know 🙆🏽♀️🙂
I'm not an expert either, but I'm pretty sure trump destroyed the DC budget that used to pay all kinds of professionals. Maybe this is the same kind of efficiency that bankrupted his companies over and over?
I know it's illegal on here to notice that our leaders are actually fighting back in the job we actually elected them to do, but here's the Wall Street Journal bitching about Schumer's "historic" delaying tactics that have left almost 90% of Trump appointee slots empty. archive.ph/2025.08.27-0...
Took what, 30 seconds to find a way to make this Biden's fault? Well played.
Please tell us more about what constitutes "the party." Specifically.
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
RFK jr just ended pediatric cancer research. Are you preparing your statement demanding that he resign? Or just being glad he's "not a lobbyist." Shame, governor. Shame.
"Pediatric Brain Cancer Trial Group to Be Phased Out" "A network of hospitals and cancer centers dedicated to early phase trials of novel treatments will no longer receive federal funding." 🎁🔗 Nina Agrawal for @nytimes.com
don't care. the thug wants to rub his lawlessness in our faces and make us angry? he wants to juice up his magas, who are not sure why he's protecting bill clinton by hiding the epstein files? whatever. there's just one funeral that I'm looking forward to. that's going to be a great day.
I'm confused about how quickly this becomes another day and another way to attack Democrats.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
Remember when you felt good about being American? This group is making that a thing of the past.
Grand juries almost ALWAYS vote to indict b/c the person being targeted can't even have a lawyer in the room. Jurors believe what the prosecutors tell them, so the odds are stacked high against the target. This target is a lawyer. And the grand jurors all live in Occupied DC. Oops.
CDC quietly stopped checking food supply for 6 pathogens (campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and yersenia) about two months ago, leaving everyone more vulnerable. Less food surveillance = less food safety. Hey where are you RFK Jr and MAHA moms?
"Yesterday featured a striking spectacle: A three-and-a-quarter-hour televised Politburo meeting, in which the highest-ranking government officials of the world’s oldest and once greatest democracy abased themselves ridiculously before their presidential idol." www.thebulwark.com/p/all-the-pr...
See, the fatigues make it so they can blend in and be hard to spot. And the orange vests do the opposite. This is called "balance" in maga brains.
I wouldn't come here. I wouldn't let my kids come here. Why risk it?
I knew this guy who was convinced it was the Democrats' version of Fox, without ever seeing it. So weird.
and they all had to sit there soaking in that spew of shit for the entire time. I hope it was painful.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
You can see how it would be a good gig, right? Just goad people into attacking each other and collect ALL the clicks. Doesn't take much work.
America’s leading physician groups are now openly defying RFK Jr. www.vox.com/health/45922...
NEW: The Social Security Administration's chief data officer has blown the whistle, saying Trump's DOGE team uploaded a database containing the hundreds of millions of Social Security records of most Americans to an AWS cloud server, allegedly without proper access controls or monitoring in place.
He might be thinking back to a time when being the president of the US meant something. You know, back when the US was known for at least attempting to project fairness and respect for the law. But his election in 2024 proved that those days are gone. He might as well be the president of Eurasia.
Wow. Politico's Capitol bureau chief is a grade A cunt. Someone should let them know.
At a Missouri town hall, farmer Fred Higginbotham said what millions are thinking: enough of GOP politicians bowing to Trump while working people lose farms, health care, & futures. Farmers aren’t mincing words anymore: this is rebellion from the ground up. And we are here for it. Stay angry!
Every Politico story ever: Let's you and him fight!!
No president in our lifetime has done more to DEFUND law enforcement than Trump. He's fired thousands from every Intel agency. He's disbanded key terrorism & cyber crime units. He's ended billions in law enforcement grants to cities & states. Trump doesn't give a shit about law & order. #FDT #ETTD
The Supreme Corpse
total power of your life, and your children's lives, and their children's lives. forever. you'd be up for that?
the woman sitting in a skin-tight pink cocktail dress between two men dressed to their necks and wrists and ankles in dark suits? that woman? this is how she presents herself, and expects to be taken seriously? oh, honey.
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
absurd or depressing? both. every damn day, it's both.
Our money. This is our money they're spending to torture one random guy.
