I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
So juvenile.
Did he go to Glamour Shots for that one. 😂😂
Always some grift with an angle to pull in the suckers. 🤡
It’s best not to comment on a party you’re not invited to.
Middle School level of hurt feelings on display.
But according to Rump’s spokespeople, you can always create “alternative facts”. 🤡
Trump's illegal tariffs are nothing more than a backdoor, national sales tax on the American people — all to help pay for the giant tax cut he gave his billionaire buddies. It's the ultimate betrayal, and SCOTUS should make clear it's unconstitutional.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Is this “expressed frustration” kinda like a strongly worded letter? Feckless Congress.
I thought Rump promised 🎶drill baby drill🎶. 🎉 Are we winning yet?
Florida gonna Florida.
“.. Xi Jinping doesn’t even feel the need to manipulate him anymore. Meanwhile the rest of the world is moving on from America too.” @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-reac...
Rump’s letting China beat us on so many things - wind, solar, EVs, investment in infrastructure, global foresight, etc. - why should Xi even care about Rump’s little piques and fits and revenge tours?
Didn’t Rump just say yesterday that he’s brought in “trillions” in foreign investment to the US and “created hundreds of thousands of new jobs”? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 We’ll be in the Golden Age in two weeks!
PANTHEON: “.. Fewer [job] openings than unemployed people for the first time since Covid.” #JOLTS
Former respected @cnbc reporter now @fox maga hack - I spent hundreds of dollars a month on electricity. Then I got solar. Now I produce more energy than I consume, have zero electric bill, and have more than made up for my investment. Financial win! Environmental win!
Creepy.
What could possibly go wrong? 🤔
“.. The president has resorted to the most dire language possible to frame his trade program as the only thing saving the country from ruin.” 🤡 @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/09/02/t...
Going forward, can the media just use “bazillions” when quoting Rump talking about “trillions”? It should help put things in proper perspective. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Gavin Newsom mocking Karoline Leavitt as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games 👏🏼🤣🏆
No notes
California refuses to be scared into submission by the small men in the White House. No one in their right mind thinks the Trump Administration should launch yet another failed LA militarization.
Rump’s gone soft as a grape.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Today’s court ruling is what we’ve been warning about for months: Trump is unlawfully using the military to terrorize Americans, including kids and hardworking immigrants — many of whom have contributed to this country and are part of American families.
🤡
And I’m sure the MSM called him out on each and every one of those lies. 💪🏼😉
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
File lawsuit now. Get courts to stop it. Courts already ruled the California deployment is illegal. Can’t wait for SCOTUS in October.
“The terror and cruelty are the point.” Illinois Gov. Pritzker says WH Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller chose a potential federal takeover in Chicago during the month of Mexican Independence Day.
Why doesn't Trump send the National Guard where most of the crime is, like Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, or New Mexico? 👇🏼 Chicago and California aren't even in the top 10.
Please file a lawsuit a la Gavin Newsom. Each state has got to stop this 🍊🤡 in the courts. Can’t wait for SCOTUS on this one.
Yes please bring even more of your tacky flair to the People’s House. Will you all be featuring the haunted Black Forest Christmas decor again this year? Or maybe palm trees with umbrella cocktail ornaments that you can view from the cement 🌹 “garden”.
A mom who is a legal US citizen gets separated from her family by ICE GOONS after getting back home from a family vacation.
The color commentary is significantly worse than even that sad graph. 🫤
Is this the big Oval Office 2pm announcement today? 🥱
Being a tomato dumper is hard work. This crew of 28 pickers harvests thousands of 24lb buckets a day. That makes for a lot of work for the two dumpers. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
Just no.
Trump recently ordered the Department of the Interior to halt work on a huge wind farm. 1,000 union workers had already completed 80% of the project. Now they're fired. He made sure the oil and gas billionaires got their tax breaks, though. Happy Labor Day, I guess.
The administration has halted work on wind farms off the East Coast, disrupting plans at multibillion-dollar projects and risking jobs - Bloomberg www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Seriously, very odd. 🤔
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
lol. 🤡🤡🤡🤡
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
This was so awkward. You didn’t vote for it so stfu about what can be done and your theories about mental health services. If you didn’t vote for it you should absolutely know why. Maybe you have a mental health issue yourself.
🇮🇳
Fatality.
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
China is going to eclipse the US based off electricity alone. They have a modern grid and have been increasingly electrifying their economy. They have massive surpluses of electricity and a lot based in renewables. The US has an aging grid and is tied to a future of burning fossil fuel for energy.
China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition
Let’s hope the CPD will stand strong and firmly support their city and its citizens against this unprecedented action, even if they don’t support the current mayor.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
NEWS: Trump says the court decision deeming his tariffs to be ILLEGAL will "literally destroy the United States" if allowed to stand
lol. 🤡
‘Lies’ doing double duty there. 🤔
Japan just launched a power plant to convert salt water to energy. China is building the world’s largest solar farm. Finland just launched a sand battery for heating. Nigeria is accessing geothermal energy. Trump / GOP have their fingers in their ears and are yelling Drill Baby Drill.
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
With SAFE we are producing the capabilities Europe needs most. We will focus on pan-European projects from drones, cyber defence and air defence systems. For example, a comprehensive European Air Shield. It will be a strong symbol of 🇪🇺 unity in defence.
@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.”
Between Rump sabotaging Clean Energy initiatives and the the ravenous appetite of Tech data centers for electricity, this will likely only get worse. Rump has seriously set the US back in Clean Energy progress and US citizens will pay the price.
Kirk is such a tool.
RFK Jr. will testify before a Senate panel next week. The Finance Committee hearing was in the works before Wednesday’s CDC shakeup.
Senate Republicans cursed us with RFK Jr. They need to do something NOW to put an end to this insanity and destruction at HHS. This is on them.
Meiselas: It seems that the outcome that Republicans want is whatever the worst possible outcome could be. More disease, more deaths, more murders, a horrible economy. And let’s literally pick the worst people for each possible position at every level.
Senate Republicans own this complete disaster and they need to take action NOW on the rampant malfeasance in this administration. If not, their names will be forever attached to the irreparable damage being done to our once preeminent and beloved country.
Give us a break. The only action you guys have taken is to weaken gun laws, allowing scores of criminals to get guns; shut down funding for anti-violence programs in our cities; close the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. You've taken action - and it's gotten people killed.
Admiral Stockdale survived 7 years of torture by mastering one paradox. That same lesson is the key to defeating Trump’s creeping fascism now.👇 www.JackHopkinsNow.com
When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.
Are we winning yet?
“.. if, God forbid, there's a terrible tragedy, I can't think of better on-the-job training than what I've gotten over the last 200 days,” he added. @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Wait. Does he mean the “on the job training” he’s gotten on his 8 family vacations over the last 200 days?? 🤔
So much for The Art of the Deal. Weeks after Trump’s failed meeting with Putin, Russia continues to escalate its brutal attacks on Ukraine. Trump is getting conned and played by Putin — and the Ukrainian people are paying the price.
When will sanctions against Putin and Russia be stepped up? Didn’t Lindsay Graham have a bill? Where is the action that may actually make a difference? Rump’s groveling before Putin will achieve nothing.
@merkley.senate.gov and I were just in Israel to discuss the situation in Gaza and press to end the war and return all the hostages. We visited a World Food Program site in Israel with enough food to feed everyone in Gaza for 3 weeks. The Netanyahu government's weaponization of hunger must stop.
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
NEW QUINNIPIAC POLL: Trump approval rating: 37% Trump's handling of: Crime: - 12 Russia/Ukraine: -12 Foreign Policy: -16 Economy: -18 Trade: -18 Israel/Hamas/Gaza: -19 Sending weapons to Israel: -28 National Guard to DC: -15 Epstein files: -48 Smithsonian: -27 poll.qu.edu/poll-release...
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Wow! 🤯 This speech has aged VERY well. Truer words are rarely spoken these days. A shame that not enough people got the message. Unfortunately Marco gave up truth for the hope of a shot at power.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat Catelin Drey FLIPS Iowa SD-1 — a district Trump won by 11.5 points in 2024 — defeating Republican Christopher Prosch in a landslide special election and breaking the GOP supermajority.
Breaking: Democrat Catelin Drey just won an Iowa Senate district that Trump won by double digits last year, flipping the seat blue. Republican just lost their supermajority in the chamber.
The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.
THATS HOW ITS DONE!! No fake politeness, no “respect for the Office”, no feigned respect! Just a reporter ARMED WITH THE FACTS, AND NOT BACKING DOWN.
Trump’s immigration raids are destroying our agricultural workforce — inflating costs, creating worker shortages, and destroying communities. On California Farmworker Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our economy. We will not stop defending your rights.
His Putin fan boy posts, tingly with excitement, are really getting old. So pathetic.
The oath taken by every Guardsman & Serviceman in uniform is to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign & domestic. Military members are under no obligation to obey an unlawful order. Stand down, my brothers & sisters. Your oath is bigger than Trump’s ego. - US Army Veteran
