🚨BREAKING: Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking reelection in 2026: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p... Iowa swung hard to the right starting in 2016, but the 3 special elections that have happened in Iowa so far in 2025 have swung toward Dems by 22, 24, & 26 percentage points. Two seats have flipped blue.
They are disappearing undesirables. They are deploying the military into cities. And now they are trying to commandeer railway stations. I can’t put my finger on it but this sounds familiar.
He’s trying to get her killed…
Hearing the the Social Security Admin whistleblower who whistleblew a few days ago has now “resigned” involuntarily. Trying to get additional confirmation. This is the chief data officer of SSA.
🚨🚨🚨 Alligator Alcatraz 🚨🚨🚨 Univision is reporting calls from Alligator Alcatraz that guards have used teargas against the detainees. Several Florida detainees and their families contacted Noticias 23 to report an alleged riot. "They're mistreating us, they're beating us, help us." #DCFL
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
Dig her up and throw her in a dumpster where she deserves to rot.
Good.
‼️‼️
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
Not once in the entire history of the United States has the 2nd Amendment been used to successfully resist actual tyranny, but it is used day in and day out to successfully murder children just trying to go to school.
So today we had confirmation that the US is now actively trying to take territory from Denmark, a democratic ally in one case, and in another case give land from democratic Ukraine to dictatorial Russia.
Arguably the most anti-religious administration in history. Just nakedly hostile to those who wish to practice their faith.
It’s not grassroots when a foreign flag—tied to a state funded by Iran’s billion-dollar propaganda machine—shows up at every activist rally. From climate to immigration racial justice to abortion “Free Palestine” branding piggybacks on US civil liberty causes to embed its message and stir division.
If a school shooter doesn't have access to a gun, then there's no school shooting. That's the only thing that ever matters. Other countries aren't plagued by gun violence for a very specific reason: They don't have 80 bazillion guns. There's literally nothing else worth talking about.
Imagine thinking your "personal freedoms" are worth more than a child's life. Imagine fighting for emotionally unstable 20 something male civilians to have easy access to weapons designed to kill lots of ppl, really fast. Imagine enabling the next mass shooter, while calling yourself "Christian"
Trump's DOGE cronies put YOUR Social Security data on an unsecured cloud server. Now, 300 million Americans are vulnerable to identity theft & could even lose benefits. This is a reckless failure. They must be held accountable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
Everything, our entire economy will be on the black market. Just like Russia.

A quarter of a billion dollars wasted.
And the post! www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
He also had this with the slogan "6 million was not enough." A reference to the Nazi extermination of Jews in the Holocaust.
His rifle had "Thank God for Breivik" and "Brenton 4ever" carved into it, along with the name of Pittsburgh Synagogue Murderer Robert Bowers, and OKC bomber Timothy McVeigh.
After showing his guns emblazoned with racial slurs, far-right slogans, Minneapolis shooting suspect displayed a message "Hail Breivik. Hail Brenton." Neo-Nazi Anders Breivik killed 77 in Norway in 2011. Brenton Tarrant killed 51 in shootings at 2 mosques in New Zealand in 2019.
Where have I seen this trajectory before... Oh yeah. Post-Soviet collapse in Russia. This, plus all the other stupid stuff happening, is how you shave 5 years off mean life expectancy in a country.
www.bbc.com/news/article...
the shooter appears to be part of this horrifying, gamified world of people who worship mass shooters. his gun was scrawled over in a similar style to the Christchurch shooter's. Terrorgram was a hub for a lot of this, which I wrote about here a few years ago www.huffpost.com/entry/dallas...
Imagine not voting for Kamala Harris because eggs were too expensive only to end up with everything being more expensive, losing your health insurance, the military in your neighborhood and a geriatric president ranting about ending 10 wars.
The shooter at Annunciation Catholic School used an assault weapon to fire dozens of rounds through the stained glass windows of the school’s church—killing two children and wounding 17 others, including 14 children.
⚡️Update: Russia attacks Kyiv with ballistic missile amid large-scale strike. More explosions rocked the capital city after at around 3 a.m. and 3:30 local time, Kyiv Independent journalists on the ground reported. Local authorities said Russia had attacked the city with a ballistic missile.

This morning: MPD and ATF conducted a massive paramilitary operation, with officers in masks and camo, in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of DC within 500 yards of an elementary school while neighborhood children were heading to school. On their third day of classes.
Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
BREAKING: Attorneys for Susan Monarez, the ousted CDC director, say she was targeted for "protecting the public over serving a political agenda."
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
Delete this. It's misinformation. She did not resign!
There are no words that will heal the pain of this community.
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
His hearing is gone. They called him "President You're a Dope".
Aside from anything else, it is a national emergency that the president of the United States has lost his mind.

American gun nuts: "We need our guns in case the government ever oversteps their bounds." Lol, bullshit.
“Intel warned government intervention could harm the company’s international sales, which make up 76 percent .. It said the company could face .. backlash from investors, employees, customers, suppliers, foreign governments .. as well as possible litigation.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
Howwwwww is the Lisa Cook story not in your newscast?? Malpractice.
With armed militia now on American streets because of Dump, the 2A is no longer worth the paper it is written on. Dump has done more to invalidate the 2A than any gun safety activist ever has. That said, I STILL HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT EPSTEIN AND NOBODY ELSE SHOULD.
They were quite able to report extensively on the subject when a Dem was in office. In fact, they were so good at blanket coverage of a president’s health that they helped drive him off the ticket with only 100 days before election. Make no mistake: they only have trouble covering TRUMP’s decline.
This is a very weird situation in that it's the first time since FDR the press has a visibly ill, probably dying President -- so the first time in the modern media model -- and they seem completely unequipped to report on it. (also "they like him and want him to rule us like a king" factor, yes)
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.
This guy is such a douche. He takes the current political chaos that silicon valley donated millions to produce and uses it to argue that we need a tech CEO dictator to fix it all.😒
Trump says that he is removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, an unprecedented move and a significant escalation of his attacks on the U.S. central bank
Trump makes his autocrat move to take over the Fed. Hopefully she will challenge this in court.
Fake macho man Trump wants to change Department of Defense to Department of War
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
Not really the government, just trump as an individual.
CNBC: So we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country? KEVIN HASSETT: It's possible, yeah. That's absolutely right.
Hell, I had no idea Sanders once again backed a really stupid Trump action until I saw you post about it. That shows you're right: every single one of the Do-Something doomers bashing Schumer & Jeffries was silent WRT Sanders backing Trump owning 10% Intel: www.12news.com/article/tech...
No where in this headline are the words illegal, unconstitutional or obscene.
J.B. Pritzker got it exactly right, Donald Trump is sending the military to blue cities because he wants to undermine free and fair elections in 2026. Trump believes that military deployments in blue cities is his path to keeping power and Republican victory.
Seeing all the nitpicking about whichever democrat’s latest cable news hit while ignoring the actual actions of republicans (who are in power and just passed the greatest wealth transfer bill in America’s history) is tiresome Republicans can only be stopped when you vote democratic
To correct a point that DHS keeps obfuscating: Unlike Ghislaine Maxwell, Kilmar Abrego Garcia has never been charged with “trafficking” anyone. The trial the Trump admin is trying to avoid with its Uganda scheme is on smuggling accusations. www.allrisenews.com/p/kilmar-abr...
Whatever he has the symptoms are being fat and bad at golf
3/ The overwhelming majority cases where gender-affirming care is provided in the state of Michigan is within the UM system. So this effectively brings care to a halt within the state.
I'm still seeing news stories which suggest the US govt purchased a 10% stake in intel. But that's simply not true. They're pointing to money that was already appropriated as part of the CHIPs bill and other programs. Intel gave Trump 10% purely as a result of threats.
Who is the "victim" exactly? White cis men? You're never the victim. You're the abuser. Every horrific, cruel, unlawful action this regime takes is 💯 on you.
Grow the fuck up you mentally stunted man child
Imagine that
BREAKING: Trump has signalled that a 50% tariff is to hit Indian products on August 27th, per Bloomberg.
📌NOTE TO PRESS: You are allowed to push back, ask follow-up questions, and correct lies for the record when questioning anybody, but mostly when questioning the most notorious liar on the planet. In fact, that's your fucking job.
On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines. I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.
This is all every Democrat needs to say. All day every GD day!
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
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.
EXCLUSIVE: In response to threats of criminal prosecution from the Department of Justice for performing gender-affirming care, the University of Michigan hospital system will tomorrow announce they are ending gender-affirming care in the UM hospital system. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/univers...
If Kamala Harris had become president, we would have no mass deportations, no police state, no tariffs, no macroeconomic uncertainty, no soldiers on our streets, no unemployment numbers in free fall. Think about that for a moment.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
🚨BREAKING: 3rd Circuit REJECTS RNC motion to pause ruling requiring Pennsylvania counties to count undated/wrongly dated ballots. This means counties cannot reject undated and wrongly dated ballots while the case continues on appeal. Congrats to our clients DSCC and DCCC!
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
So the media CAN use the word LIE when they want to — but only about Democrats...
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
Wow it’s a really good thing that the national guard is in Charleston to help out the flood victims.. oh wait.. oops never mind. www.newsweek.com/urgent-flash...
We all know the goal was always to “own the libs.” And in chasing that, too many have given up their own freedoms just to claim a hollow “win.” What they don’t see is that the monster they fed never stops, it eventually comes for us all. And now their silence is deafening.
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
⚡️'Cyber partisans' hack Russian TV, broadcast battlefield casualties and 'truth' about war, HUR source claims.
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
Breaking news: Kilmar Abrego García was detained by ICE on Monday after arriving at the agency’s Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in after his release pending trial on human smuggling charges, his attorney said.
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
Ahem
Kharkiv tonight. People chanting “Putin Khuylo”, which essentially means Putin go f yourself
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮
