Happy dog day!
And we all know how seriously Trump takes fraud.

“Just four years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, many restaurants in the South were still segregated de facto. Red Lobster embraced diversity, opening its doors to Black customers and hiring Black workers.” And it’s delicious. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/d...
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
"30 years from now when your Ani metabot asks, 'What did you do in the great MAGA War 2.0?' You won't have to cough and say, 'Well, your crypto-daddy shoveled shit in Louisiana.' No sir, you can look him straight in the eye and say 'Son, your crypto-daddy shoveled mulch in DC!'

Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
Hey fellas this is my book. It covers my time in the Russian gulag, recovery, and return to fight Russia in Ukraine. More importantly it covers the work my family did to bring me home and the intricacies of hostage diplomacy. It's available for presale everywhere.
His story is crazy. I’m certain the book is very worthwhile. Impressive young man
Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.

Our federal taxes are being used pretty much solely for disseminating (really cringey) propaganda, violating people’s civil and human rights, targeting political opponents, and extorting media, universities, blue states, and foreign countries

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro—who claims she’s helping Trump fight crime in D.C.—will no longer charge people for illegally carrying shotguns and assault weapons in public, which is a felony offense under D.C. law. Washingtonians, do we feel safer yet? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The crazy thing is that despite this costing literally billions of dollars; they have the money for it! That’s right, Congress decided to cut funding for public broadcasting and benefits for Americans and instead give CBP billions for the border wall, which they’ll now use to paint the wall black.
Being anti vote-by-mail is being anti-military. Imagine being asked to protect U.S. interests abroad and being denied the right to vote.
You’re right. Chastising Hakeem Jeffries on BlueSky is a bridge too far in these troubled times. I am devastated by the loss of your support
need people to understand that accepting or conceding that he has the authority to do these things is tantamount to giving him the authority, and so your preemptive dooming is actively counterproductive
“I had a good run,” the former governor said.
Members of the Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy, the closest crime we have to treason itself
Ouch. On their knees for Putin.
“if the U.S. is not willing to use any economic, military, or political tools to help Ukraine, if Trump will not put any diplomatic pressure on Putin or any new sanctions on Russian resources, then the U.S. president’s fond wish to be seen as a peacemaker can be safely ignored.”
Calling Alaska a summit is like calling Appomattox a summit
I'm guessing Putin threatened him with releasing the Kompromat (EPSTEIN Files) that would also include many other prominent donors and politicians on both sides of the aisle...
“Expecting military personnel to shift seamlessly from destroying an enemy on the battlefield to law enforcement is asking for trouble.”
Or, Trump's a bully who's afraid of tougher bullies.
Trump and Ivana in Leningrad, 1987. Now you know what inspired his Oval Office makeover.
Now that his summit with Putin is a bust, could the media please stop calling Trump a master dealmaker? The only deal he’s made this entire presidency was with Ghislaine Maxwell

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating: *foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets *foreign and domestic terrorist threats *crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others) Do you feel safer?
Love to see FBI agents with accounting degrees walking the streets of DC bullying homeless people instead of doing their jobs because a DOGE cybercriminal named "Big Balls" got beat up by a 15 year old.
Oh look, Diddler on the Roof.
"You have reached the White House Sexual Assault Hotline. If you were sexually assaulted by Donald Trump, press one. If you were sexually assaulted by Pete Hegseth, press two. If you were sexually assaulted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., press three…"
On the plus side, if Donald Trump is ever diagnosed with a serious but treatable disease, he'll just fire the doctor.

How many more months of bad news from official statistics before the Administration starts changing the numbers? The economy depends on accurate statistics. The Administration wants fake statistics. Who wins?
MORE from Virginia Giuffre's family: "The government and the President should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency." “Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the … violence and abuse she put not just our sister Virginia through, but many other survivors."

Hey MAGA, people in the administration are admitting *right now* that charges aren’t coming for Obama, while the same people are going on TV to rile you up and distract from Epstein. Build another shelf for your fell for it again awards. You’re gonna need it.
Josh Johnson is so good and I’m glad his audience is growing. Comedians—Colbert, Rosie, Joy Behar, Trey and Matt—are being threatened because they are threatening to this inhumane regime. I hope they keep banding together, doubling down, and speaking truth to power.

The question of whether Russia’s interference in 2016 actually changed votes is an unknowable question. It’s sort of *the point* of a “hearts and minds” influence operation vs. an attempt to actually tamper with votes. I explained here open.substack.com/pub/asharang...
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” U.S. Const. Art.III, S. 3, Cl. 1. So Obama was levying war against the U.S.? Giving aid and comfort to Russia…by accusing them?? Confused
There is always an (inconvenient) tweet
It’s Abu Ghraib all over again. But inside our borders.
Trump trashes Rep. Thomas Massie, again. I asked Massie about his threat a few hours ago. He said he isn’t worried. He says Trump allies are “wasting millions of dollars against me, and they're gonna lose the majority because of that.” He predicts it will “backfire tremendously.”

Let’s just take a moment to thank Donald Jr for his clear eyed, and steadfast determination to get answers with Epstein. He says to ask ourselves DAILY what SCUM would be against disclosure and truth? Hmmm….
To be fair, doing what they said they would do is hard and requires professionalism. And they are incompetent, hateful idiots.
A quick message from the @pbsnews.org Please support PBS and NPR. Both organizations produce high quality journalism.
EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

You can read all the retrospectives about Epstein running now. But to really understand the case, go right to the @jkbjournalist.bsky.social series in the @miamiherald.com that ran 7 years ago (and for completely inexplicable reasons, never won a Pulitzer). www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...
