Great getting to see my friend and fellow justice warrior @deanobeidallah.bsky.social KILLING at the New York Comedy Club!
Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.

My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...

Trump has branded crime in cities like Chicago and Baltimore as spiraling out of control...but the data tells a different story: violent crime is falling. The deployed National Guard? It’s not a rescue. It’s political theater....and that's a nice way of saying it's a bunch of BS.
An(other) actual psychopath.
we'll know it's for real when Fox News starts playing Lee Greenwood's rendition of "Swan Lake" on loop
Nothing says respect for our troops like deploying the National Guard only to have them pick up trash and spread mulch all day.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
In recent public remarks about deploying the National Guard to Chicago, Donald Trump said: “I have the right to do ANYTHING I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.” Not even a King has that right. Certainly no president. Who knew a non-drinker could be so drunk with power?

"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.
California is getting safer. Homicides down 20% Robberies down 19% All within this year. And we're deploying CHP officers to more regions across the state to keep this momentum going.

Great to meet you, JP! Always a pleasure to meet a teacher here in Illinois. Good luck during the school year!
“…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.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

This Administration doesn't care about the laws. They don't care about due process. All they care about is power and exerting control over cities they don't like. Los Angeles will not stand for it.
CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
Release the Epstein files.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Ouch…

This administration of extremists, quacks, and grifters continues to endanger the lives and health of millions
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has filed a new bid to stay in the U.S. The Salvadoran man who was illegally deported in March has reasserted his claim for asylum.
School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.
I’m trying hard not to doom and I remain long term optimistic about the politics and about our ability to rebuild. but it is hard not to notice that every function of the federal government intended to prevent death is currently on fire, except for the ones that are ashes already.
Concerning!!!
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
If you think about it, it's actually surprising that it took six whole months before putting a vaccine-denying, roadkill-eating, ex-junkie carnivorous dead brainworm host and loonytunes conspiracy nut in charge of the CDC destroyed the CDC.
We had a horrific emergency involving our kids today and right now I'm just sitting at my computer in a daze and in shock. Thankfully they are okay but others are less fortunate.
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
Ignorance isn’t harmless...it's a public health hazard. Missouri’s kindergarten vaccination rate has dropped to 90%...below the 95% herd immunity threshold. We’re not just vulnerable...we’re sweating. Dumb f*&^ing people. www.columbiamissourian.com/news/state_n...
🚨BREAKING: Arizona Court of Appeals REJECTS right wing challenge to Arizona's signature matching process. Another VICTORY for my law firm's clients and the voters of Arizona. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
It’s gotten to the point that I don’t even like sending my kids to school anymore. We don’t have to live like this.
Everyone watches Trump’s circus. Few see the man behind the curtain: Stephen Miller, the architect of America’s authoritarian future.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
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:
Christ! Watching the dismantling of every social program and civil rights law of the last 75 years is so gut-wrenching but predictable. White supremacists, the fascists and much of MAGA are coming for women’s right to vote.
The Old Confederacy never abandoned slavery, they simply turned it into a prison industry.
Of course there will be an appeal and possibly a stay, but hopefully this decision sticks www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
Wow!

Purity tests are "death rattle" for the Democratic Party. It's political suicide. We need fighters...not saints.
Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!
I’d say unbelievable, but this is completely on brand and believable for Trump. Photo credit: @therickwilson.bsky.social

Do you have access to the EPSTEIN Files? Want to be inducted into the Whistleblower's Hall of Fame, be glorified in history as the Savior of Democracy & have an annual holiday named in your honor? All of this can be yours if you simply: #LeakTheEPSTEIN-Files!* *victim's names redacted, of course
Me too!

VA Secretary Collins, many VA workers are veterans themselves. Is it “putting veterans first” to not only rip up their union contracts, but to also gut the parental leave they’ve earned? It defies common sense to throw out this benefit that VA workers rely on. www.axios.com/2025/08/15/v...

Brooke Rollins lies out of her ass on Fox Business. Minnesota is not overrun by solar panels.
Bingo.
Some people in our party still think this will all "work out" okay if we just keep telling ourselves, "Democrats are fighting damn hard for us!"🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ That's a defense mechanism. It's how they are attempting to handle their fear. But...it's really dumb...and untrue.
Thrilled to announce - actually thrilled . . . 2 months ago doctors found a tumor in my head by accident. 2 weeks ago it was removed. No further treatment needed. Back to teaching in a few weeks. Thanks to my amazing team at MGH.
Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's Dana Perino melting down over his tweets:
Rep. Nicole Collier refused to ‘sign away her dignity’ by accepting a police escort…and spent the night on the Texas House floor protesting GOP overreach. A quiet act of defiance…that speaks volumes!🔥
In case anyone's confused, yes, slavery was bad.
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
I'm not a fan of Gavin Newsom, but I'm a fan of Democrats fighting back aggressively and creatively against fascism instead of playing the same tired game of hoping things just work out. I wish others with a national profile would have the guts to fight back aggressively and creatively, too.

Trump Met With Putin. Now Zelensky’s Bringing The Grown-Ups.
There is no pro-crime caucus. Trump has masked guards parading around some of the fanciest neighborhoods in dc. This has nothing to do with stopping crime.

Trump must have had a bad night. Spewing lies about elections. Again. Every American citizen has a right to vote, Each state runs its own election. We don’t owe the president. It’s the president who owes us a duty to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
Plesa: First of all, I just want to set the record straight: if anybody fled their position, it was Ted Cruz. Hundreds of Texans died during Winter Storm Uri, and he was trying to flee Texas with his suitcase.
I've been thrilled to see this Great Blue Heron on the Harlem Meer recently. Look at that magnificent wingspan! 💙💜💙 #Herons #CentralPark #birding
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."
This GOP competition to see who can debase themselves the most spectacularly is getting ridiculous.
I’ve started watching the West Wing again because I need to watch some functional government.
My law firm is currently litigating 50 voting and election cases in 22 states. Here are the states with the most cases: GA, AZ, FL, NC, LA, MT, NV, WI. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight for democracy. Please, pay attention.
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
So cute!
Daily smile for today... 😊 #bluesky
