People who live in glass houses should not post distorted photos of other people. He’s absolutely gross.
Moments after President Trump posted a distorted photo of Rosie O’Donnell (along with a threat to revoke her citizenship), Governor Newsom’s official press account posts a distorted photo of Trump.
The strike was AI.
Reading the NYT piece on the attack as Trump threatens military occupation of American cities it struck me they will soon apply this shoot first use of force domestically. Then I thought Jesus dude. Take a breath. Don’t be so alarmist. Then is saw Daily Wire host Matt Walsh said this:
Venezuela says it didn’t happen, according to cbs news.
Turns out Venezuela says it’s fake.
sorry what
As @andykroll.bsky.social previously reported, a senior IRS attorney warned officials in February that using “performance” failures to justify the mass firings was “false,” because the administration hadn't conducted any assessments to make such a judgment.
You voted for this bill. Resign and let someone else do the job.
Thank you #California, #Oregon, and #Washington!! 👏
You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *’migrants * www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
I’m not floored by most news anymore but the fact that no mandatory vaccines in schools has become a litmus test for the GOP after Florida today—these are scary times.
Rand Paul on Trump striking a Venezuelan boat and killing 11 people: "You might ask the question, where does it end? Are we the world's policemen? Are we gonna be blowing people up off the coast all around the world? ... is it really the constitutional duty of our government?"
As a lawyer, I'll tell you that there's nobody who knows this law better than Ryan and Brian. Sure looks like murder or war crime to me. But as a human, I'll tell you that the Rubio statement -- we could have stopped the boat but we blew it up to send a message -- is sickening and depraved.
GOP motto: Tax people not corporations.
DeSantis is determined to ruin Florida for good. Where are Florida voters? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Epstein survivor: "Mr President Donald J Trump, I am a registered Republican -- not that that matters, because this is not political. However, I cordially invite you to the Capitol to meet me in person so you can understand this is not a hoax."
Epstein died in a federal prison while Trump was president. Draw your own conclusions.
Davies: The truth is Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current President Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag actually.
Watching the Epstein Survivor press conference and there's Trump's military flyovers. What an asshole.
Davies: And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an eight by ten framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.
Had the best time hanging out with my girl @katiephang.bsky.social !!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ8o...
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.
"When did we become a country where it's okay 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?" Gov. JB Pritzker
It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
#BREAKING: Fifth Circuit (Southwick & Ramirez, JJ.) holds that President Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act against Tren de Aragua is unlawful, and blocks AEA removals in the Northern District of Texas (over a lengthy dissent from Judge Oldham): www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
The Trump admin dumped half a dozen men with serious criminal records in the Kingdom of Eswatini, where they are being jailed indefinitely despite all having finished serving criminal sentences in the United States. It’s a disturbing situation.
Just like the Trump family!
SCOOP: Sources at the House Oversight Committee confirm documents posted by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna are the same ~33,000 pages of Epstein documents they received — 97% already public — and part of a broader plan to block transparency.
"Valued users! We understand that over the past 250-odd years, you have come to rely on the services provided by the U.S. of A. ... Well, 250 years of free is enough." @petridishes.bsky.social on the end of America's free-trial period:
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
The combo of legit speculation on the health of Trump and this weird kumbaya makes for quite a dangerous situation for the USA: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...
The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...
Wow imagine that
Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion

Talking to you @jaketapper.bsky.social ?
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Not all immigrants are of a different race.
Well, Jesus. Just saying.
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Hire a Black woman. We tend to be very good at what we do because we simply are not allowed to be bad at it.
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
No notes
How would the country ever survive economically without the genius of someone that has bankrupt six companies?
Trump says without tariffs, our country would be “completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated.”
Every accusation (Biden’s health) was always a confession.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Are we talking about the 2nd grade grammar and spelling?
Then give it to us. That’s your job. Bring back trust. Bring back integrity. Bring back accountability. Bring America back!
The ghost of evil.
"'Mark my words, it’s only going to get worse,' [Conway] added." www.yahoo.com/news/george-...
You mean, it’s a genocide until Trump decides it’s not. Like when they miss a payment or refuse to accept immigrant prisoners.
Trump’s targeting of Fed. Gov. Lisa Cook is a “chilling message,” writes fmr. Fed. Chair & Biden Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen. “Express disagreement with the president’s views and you are next.” Yellen joins me @ 12pET on the economic consequences of Trump’s bids to bend the Fed. to his political will
Dems should be vaccinated. Darwin will take care of the rest. Problem solved.
Crimes are only illegal now if you’re a Democrat. And then, even non crimes are illegal.
In Washington, it’s land acknowledgments and sternly worded letters. In the states, Democratic governors are taking the fight to MAGA open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...
🤣
Don't forget the cronyism. For all the Republican critiques about the federal govt, it spends hundreds of billions a year contracting for everything from office supplies to fighter jets and Trump's donors - especially the private prison industry - are going to siphon out as much money as they can.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
So many idiots got conned by these two interlopers. Now they’re just ghosts in the wind somewhere counting their money.
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
News in this piece: 1) JB Pritzker's health officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines in bulk to distribute to constituents 2) Mass Gov Maura Healey is leading a coalition of mostly blue states that could coordinate purchasing of pediatric vaccines Read all about this here:
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “How can the most powerful country on earth sow the seeds to make people sick again with preventable, even once-eliminated diseases?” our columnist Maureen Dowd writes.
Is that part of the grift?
Why does it matter in this context? We can just look at the data and derive something useful. We don’t have to automatically indict the other side.
Apparently, only Trump and his cronies are allowed to blatantly lie, cheat, steal, abuse and grift. *not suggesting Cook did any of those things.

One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”
7% of this products reviews are 1 star. I usually prefer products with 1 star reviews being less than 5% (although less than 4% is ideal). I love Wirecutter but, unfortunately, many of the products they recommend have high percentages of 1 and 2 star reviews.
New in PN: Making Slavery Great Again "Without irony or shame — and to absolve their followers of any guilt or responsibility — Trump wants to whitewash America’s original sin."
At 3 pm Wed., a woman was stabbed just off a busy intersection on H Street, NE. National Guard members were dining al fresco at a taqueria DIRECTLY across the street, yet the suspect got away. "So safe," a local texted us. Our postcard from an Occupied D.C.: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is what we’ve been saying all along. But, wasn’t it Ezra Klein who was part of the “both sides” crew? Leading up to the election, he was one of the main anti Democrat journalists. I’m waiting for his mea culpa. Keyboard pundits 💩 on Democrats when convenient. We need to unite now!
That’s simple, actually. They aren’t going after research and healthcare specifically - they’re going after data and verifiable facts period. The entire goal is to keep people dumb and afraid. It’s been their goal to force us into a post-fact society for a long time, and they’re close.
Let him. It will be worse for MAGA than it will be for Dems. Everything they do will come back to them ten fold.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that he would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to prevent them from attending the annual UN General Assembly in New York next month.
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Trump is a troll, yes. But when he threatens to run again or stay in office in 2028, he means it. Watch Rick Wilson analyze these threats on MSNBC:
Evil never stops on its own. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
Chris Cuomo arms must be tired from carrying all that water for Trump. I keep watching to see how far he’s willing to go before he finally have to admit that this administration is totally FUBAR. What happened to this guy?
Not even worthy of a repost.
That’s dumb. Universal HC will cost more than the taxes we currently pay. If you want UHC, you agree to higher taxes. That’s fine but that’s the trade-off.

“Based on what we earn, we see different ads, stand in different lines, eat different food, stay in different hotels, watch the parade from different sections, and on and on. What’s profitable today is not unification. It’s segmentation.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...
