The United States is now Putin's deportation partner. Russian political refugees who sought safety in the U.S. are being returned on charter flights. Upon return, they face hours-long interrogations by security services. 🧵Here's what is known about the latest flight:
We’re going to need all new honors, aren’t we?
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
Pope Leo XIV prayed publicly on Sunday for the victims of the shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small."
So, now the White House is managing TWO cover-ups (at least). Three if you count the cratering economy that they are lying about.

I would love to know more about that process because I’m sure it’s totally above board.
“That’s what I’ve been told” will be the DOJ’s “I vas just followink orders” when this is all over. Ensign knows it’s bullshit. The judge knows he knows it’s bullshit.
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
One would think that some aspiring young journalist would ask “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!” of Karolina Leavitt.

Truly evil. Ten years old!
Folks. Please read this. It’s just one page of simple declarations from a 10 year kid from Guatemala who doesn’t want to be sent back there. The US government is trying to do so, on a holiday weekend, and was going to just *do it* until folks started pushing back. 10. Years. Old. WTAFF?
Government Efficiency!!

President Convicted Felon's EPA plans to dramatically reduce wetland protection. I mean, we only need wetlands for clean drinking water, filtering pollution, holding back floods & providing habitat for important species. Who'd even miss 'em? subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...
It’s the whole gaggle of GOP senators, none of whom have a spine or a conscience.
My one regret is that I’m headed into the wilderness of the Great Bear Rainforest and will be off the grid for a week while Cankles Caligula decomposes and might miss the great national celebration. Also too, release the #EpsteinFiles

Yeah, saw that one 🤣🤣🤣
Guy who desperately wants a Nobel Peace Prize renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War (he really cannot do this), and plans on attacking Venezuela and removing all life from Gaza because PEACE!

ooohhh oooohhh I know!
It's often said he sounds terrible because he has spasmodic dysphonia but that's not the whole story. He's had that for decades but his voice used to be much better; the dumbass didn't "trust the experts" so stopped his approved Botox treatment that was working and got an unapproved useless implant.

Sure Jan!
Why wouldn’t you want to live in a militarized police state with troops on the ground with their rifles for a few less carjackings?
And raking mulch!
So I imagine that folks who insisted it wasn’t ethnic cleansing, land theft, forced removal are lined up to apologize for insisting that this was just about defeating Hamas fighters and the return of the hostages.
The Trump plan for Gaza includes the relocation of the entire population - 2 million people - a US “trusteeship” and the creation of a tourism and tech hub. Landowners get digital tokens worth $5,000 and rent subsidies. Investors are promised 4x return on $100 billion.

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
It is widely known, by many people who are saying it, that Nobel Peace Prize laureates went around pleading, nay begging, people to be nominated or they would impose tariffs on their own people as punishment.
During a phone call, Donald Trump hinted to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he should nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, as Pakistan had done. Modi sharply rejected the idea, stating that the ceasefire with Islamabad was achieved without U.S. involvement.
Read the tweet before this one to understand the context. Unbelievable
One of JD Vance’s political influencers argues that whites have a higher IQ than Blacks and has endorsed returning to slavery. His name is Curtis Yarvin. When Vance becomes POTUS (and he will), you’ll hear the name more often.
When this is over, I want the criminals in the administration, ALL OF THEM, deported to the fucking moon, without space suits.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Republicans are all misogynists. Change my mind.

The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...

Remember how we said Tulsi Gabbard was a Russian asset and we were bashed for it? Well, here's a new headline for you: US Intelligence Chief Reveals Name of CIA Officer Who Worked Undercover in Russia united24media.com/latest-news/...
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)

Jonathan Nez is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Arizona's 2nd Congressional District in the 2026 elections. Trumpers want to know if he's here illegally. He's Navajo.
Folks at the White House right now…
Republican Rep. Barry Moore was heckled so badly at his Alabama town hall that he literally left out the back door in the middle of the event. Moore didn't offer concluding remarks or even bid good night to the rowdy crowd as they chanted "Shame!" during his exit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Ron DeSaster built and operated Alligator Auschwitz with money from Florida’s emergency fund. He spends our money like it’s his. Fuck that guy.
Keep the Epstein story alive.
MAGA hates sciences and statistics. But here is what science and statistics show: White people are the most violent. And of this group, men are more violent than women.
What’s really odd is that JD Vance is not on vacation.
NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history. According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.
Like a deadly virus, created in the lab of bad public policy at the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has been let loose on our nation with impacts we are all just beginning to comprehend. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
There is no possible legitimate reason to do this. It’s what despots do. It’s petty. It’s dangerous. It’s unAmerican. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
This is not normal, but clearly, necessary to combat the disease (Trump) that is a cancer on our democracy.
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.
Whatever you think about Robert E. Lee's portraits important to remember he never achieved a rank higher than Colonel. But don't tell Trumpers that because they get super triggered. Sad.
Liddle Marco is a fucking disgraced ladder puller. Fuck him sideways.
They’d find an excuse to let it slide with Dear Leader
RFK Jr. is destroying the CDC. He’s barking mad, and he’s gutting the health institutions Americans rely on to stay healthy and safe. He’s firing lifelong experts in their fields and forging policy based on poppycock. He has to be impeached. Now. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
April of 2019 was 20 years ago? Is this message from the future? The Mueller investigation/report was intentionally sabotaged by Bill Barr. It did indeed reveal that Trump colluded with Russian oligarchs; the problem is that collusion isn't itself illegal. Barr basically forced Mueller's hand.
Release the #EpsteinFiles
The victim’s daughter is asking for the execution to be halted, stating the family has forgiven him. At this point, it’s not even about justice for the victims. It’s just DeSantis killing a Black guy.
Oh my God. The Republican budget is so unpopular that Republicans are already trying to change its name—from the One Big, Beautiful Bill to the Working Family Tax Cuts. Changing the name of your signature legislation months after you passed it is a pretty bad sign for the midterms.
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”

Can we gag them both for all of us? Seriously, asking for 350M Americans.
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
Get politics out of public health. Get the creepy lunacy of RFK jr out of making health decisions based on his deluded opinions for 330M people
Don’t look away
Sure, some of these women could be lying. But all of them? Get real.
It's really shocking that the NYT and WaPo have forgotten that Trump is a criminal who freed hundreds of violent cop assailants on his first day on the job. Every Single Story About Crime should lead with that.
