Whether you believe in prayer or not, prayers over gun violence show no signs of working. And if prayers are the only thing you offer in response to this nation's epidemic of gun violence, you're not a serious person who wants to solve a real problem. You're a sanctimonious fraud with a gun fetish.
Agreed. The USA, awash in 400Mn guns, s/b the safest country in the world. Instead, our total homicide rate is 3-5x that of ALL other high-income nations. (Altho everyone's rate peaked in early 1990s.)
The vile sexual predator Donald Trump and his enablers, like [alleged] alcoholic and [alleged] rapist Pete Hegseth, used our nation's Air Force to distract from Jeffrey Epstein's accusers. This underscores how threatened they are by the truth.
Imagine Donald Trump alone in a room with a puppy.
Overdue library book.
Unprecedented corruption - 1500x what Hunter Biden made from his paintings and going directly to the president.
Kicked off Labor Day at the annual @nhaflcio.bsky.social Labor Day Breakfast this morning. I’m proud to stand with New Hampshire’s labor community, today and every day.
As an American, I demand that ICE DEPORT ELON MUSK! He's a foreigner who violated his original student visa's terms by investing his daddy's millions here in the USA to further enrich himself. That makes him an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. Deport Elon Musk. Release the #Epstein files. EPSTEIN EPSTEIN
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
Already bad when people in your country try to get you rounded up and kicked out. A foreigner doing it, and stoking the sentiment, including with bigoted lies at scale, because his wealth and media control enables it, is insane. It’s already caused considerable harm, and appears to be getting worse.
All that, plus Modi won't nominate thin-skinned #PedoPresident Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize! So mean!
LOL
MAGAts value guns more than they value people. It's the guns. Pathetically easy access to guns and ammo here in gun-worshipping 'murica.
I am very happy for you all ❤️.
“…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...
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
It's also complete hypocrisy by hiding behind Christianity, which I would think that Christian theology would especially abhor.
The AR-15 and variants are designed to be (1) lethal at up to 800 yards thru a soldier's helmet; (2) Can fire at 2 rounds / sec; (3) Standard .222 round, reaching 3000 ft/sec muzzle velocity, when it hits flesh it tumbles and its "wake" SHREDS flesh. It's a battlefield weapon.
Trade deficit = Investment surplus.
Ernst's departure may energize and increase turnout by Dems and independents, who will now see a wide-open field.
So, like, Perv-a-Lago? Lots of tacky gold trim?
Agreed. Also, as I understand it, Obama is no longer POTUS -- Trump is. P.S., Why won't Trump release the #EPSTEIN FILES? What is he hiding???
Forward this letter from me to any Trump voters you know. Who knows? It might just help. Thanks.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
Are we no longer talking about the EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES? EPSTEIN FILES?
Agreed. And only in 'murica. Awash in 400 million guns, we should have zero violent crime, right? And yet the U.S. total homicide rate is 3-5x that of all other advanced nations. (Data below is primarily from the UN Office of Drugs and Crime.)
Epstein is not going away. Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein
Praying for of all those affected by today’s horrific shooting in Minnesota, injuring and killing innocent young people who were simply starting their school year. We are all too accustomed to awful news like this, but must never accept such suffering and loss as normal.
Tragically, it's also easier in America to buy a gun than to vote.
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
The media has given up on the Epstein files and the FACT that our president raped children for fun very regularly. We will not forget. Bring it up every chance you get! EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN
Perhaps Cracker Barrel should give #PedoPresident Trump 10% ownership of the company.
A whistleblower complaint says that the personal data of over 300 million Americans was copied to a private cloud account to allow access by members of the Department of Government Efficiency team.
#PedoPresident Trump wants to rename the DoD to Department of War and then unleash it on our own cities.
The Ten Commandments, of course, are from the Bible's Old Testament. Why don't self-proclaimed Christians demand postings of Christ's Beatitudes?
National Guard keeping Krispy Kreme safe at DuPont Circle. #FreeDC
Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) swiftly pushed back, saying Illinois never asked for federal troops and that Trump has no legal authority to unilaterally seize control of the Illinois National Guard. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I really think we should not overlook the fact that a very senior member of Trump's cabinet and one of the country's top law enforcement officials sees fit to claim as uncontested fact that Abrego Garcia is guilty of multiple horrific crimes that he hasn't even been tried for, let alone convicted of
It's beyond outrageous what Trump has done to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And it's all because he became the most prominent illustration of how the amoral, sadistic, lawless, mendacious, and authoritarian thugs who today control our federal government seek to destroy our constitutional order. ...
“Do not come to Chicago” -JB Pritzker This is what we have been talking about, since 2020. Hit back harder. That’s how you win a fight. The entire Democrat party should be taking notes.
Everyone who cares about anything should follow the guy who wrote this @kornetzke.bsky.social
A lot of call backs from season one
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.
Just to totally devalue the Nobel prizes, Trump should demand Nobel prizes not only in peace, but also economics, medicine, and literature. While we're at it, let's give him a Heisman Trophy.
And to be clear this has been going on for some time. There are many segments of the party doing serious, strategic work.
Not a time for subtlety - what I told the AP about the Bolton prosecution and the DC occupation www.kgw.com/article/news...
I've long thought that would be a better, out-of-the-box idea. It could even be a hybrid or partial elimination of federal legislative districts.
The proposal only needs to affect federal elections for the U.S. House of Representatives. State legislatures are entirely separate and could remain as they are today.
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
A valid point, but the Intel deal, like #PedoPresident Trump's other forays into private businesses, is based not on an expert evaluation of the national interest, but on his petty whims and grievances. Oh, and when will Trump RELEASE THE #EPSTEIN FILES? What is he afraid of?
This is genuinely beyond parody. No comments.
I'm no lawyer, but my understanding is that, legally, knowingly lying to a federal (or state) officer during an interview can constitute perjury.
Trump's molting.
I'm not interested in what notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell has to say. I'm interested in evidence of what she did. Release the Epstein Files. Stop Donald's coverup.
new analysis from the new yorker tries to estimate how much trump has made during his time in politics: $3.4 billion
Good morning- Epstein files can be released today if Trump wants to. “Why would anyone protect those scum bags? Ask yourself this question daily…”
“I will do everything in my power to continue to protect sensitive, personal voter data of Maine citizens,” Maine's secretary of state told Democracy Docket in a statement. “The Trump DOJ needs to respect the Constitution and rule of law.”
Of course -- just as France should have maintained a friendlier relationship with Germany in the 1930s, right?
Some thiughts in the Alaska “summit” and today’s WH diacussions My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/ukraine-al...
Below are the 30 U.S. cities with at least 100,000 residents that had the highest number of crimes against people, per 100,000, according to the latest FBI data report. Goodness, Washington, D.C., forgot to be included! JD Vance & Jim Jordon's Ohio makes a stellar showing. Heck of a job on crime!
I’m filing a formal request for information about the Trump Administration’s action and role in directing federal law enforcement and military personnel in a recent operation intended to intimidate those defending a fair electoral process.
Putin may have not only promised, but pinky-swore that he wouldn't attack Ukraine again.
MAGAts wish to replace "one person, one vote" with "one acre, one vote."
The CDC shooting didn’t even really register in the news and the details are absolutely insane
Total homicide rates have declined 30-40% since peaking in the early 1990s -- in the U.S. and *all* advanced nations. Still, the USA, awash in guns, has a total homicide rate 3-5x that of our peers.
The FBI/DOJ shift to fighting "violent crime" means less focus on the crimes that wealthy White people commit: Tax evasion, fraud, bribery, etc.
Total homicides have declined 30-40% since peaking in the early 1990s in the U.S. *and* in all other advanced nations. The reasons are likely complex.
Awash in 400Mn guns, the USA should have ZERO violent crime. And yet ... (Source: UN Office of Drugs and Crime)
"THE ART OF THE KNEEL" TRUMP: "You have to agree to a ceasefire or there will be sanctions." PUTIN: "No ceasefire." TRUMP: "OK." PUTIN: "And no sanctions." TRUMP: "OK." PUTIN: "We're done. Thanks for the red carpet and photo ops."
This behavior is indistinguishable from the worst secret polices of fascist regimes of the 20th century.
I agree 100%. And the best way for #PedoPresident Trump to cut crime in DC is to RELEASE THE #EPSTEIN FILES. All of them, with no redactions that serve only to protect the guilty. What is Trump hiding?
My Ukraine-Russia Peace Plan: 1. Russia gets the f*ck out of Ukraine, including Crimea. 2. Russia returns all of the Ukrainian children and others. 3. Russia pays massive reparations to Ukraine. 4. Trump releases all of the #Epstein files.
Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"
Agreed. Also: 1. Putin has long held kompromat on Trump, and Trump knows that. 2. Why won't #PedoPresident Trump release the #Epstein files? 3. Why won't #PedoPresident Trump release the #Epstein files? 4. Re-read #2 and #3.
I cannot recommend this essay highly enough. @donell-harvin.bsky.social is one of the most important voices How to Truly Keep Washington, DC Safe: Trump’s militarized approach undercuts what’s been working Harvin is former Chief of Homeland Security & Intelligence for District of Columbia 🧵
Donald Trump, you have poked the bear — and we will punch back.
A group of religious leaders in Washington, D.C. is criticizing President Donald Trump's federal takeover of the District's police force, saying his rhetoric is dehumanizing and counterproductive. n.pr/45jZHbo
"We don’t have Ronald Reagan anymore. We have Tony Soprano. He’s holding people up, threatening them, bullying them, doing things that are beyond his legal powers,” says George Conway in the wake of Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.
#PedoPresident Trump and MAGA promote toxic masculinity, the core expression of which is cruelty to the most vulnerable. Meanwhile, WHY DOES CONVICTED FELON DONALD TRUMP REFUSE TO RELEASE THE #EPSTEIN FILES? WHAT IS TRUMP HIDING?
The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.
JUST IN: Blistering ruling by Judge Ho on ICE arrests in immigration court. He says the Trump administration has turned attendance at immigration court proceedings into a game of "detention roulette" that violates due process. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
To those of you on or soon to be on Social Security: #PedoPresident Trump's new BLS lackey will understate future price inflation data on which annual Soc Sec payment increases are based. P. S. Release the #Epstein files! What is Trump afraid of? #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein
George Conway on Trump: "What we have here isn't traditional conservatism, it isn't traditional republicanism, it is authoritarianism. But I think a better word for it, gangsterism... We don't have Ronald Reagan anymore. We have Tony Soprano."
This former model, with no background in history, has been put in charge of curating what is "appropriate" at the National Museum of African American History.
God Bless The Dropkick Murphys!!! #FDT Thanks to Ken Casey for having us as your guests! First class loser!!!
Stephen "Nosfaratu" Miller's purpose, of course, is to flood the zone with sh*t, not to make people believe him, but to make people doubt the very existence of objective, knowable reality. And for many, sadly, it works.
Wow. Clear and disturbing; thanks for putting together such a succinct summary. I share your pessimism about what SCROTUS will ultimately do.

Imagine calling other people "low-IQ" when you're incapable of learning, no matter how many times it's explained to you, that a trade deficit is different from a financial loss. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
Trump wanted his DC parade and it didn't look like he wanted so he's doing this.
Numbers are woke.
It’s time for Iowa to fire Joni Ernst - before we all die!
They raped children
We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both. Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!
Trump’s new sport isn’t golf. It’s silencing the press. Colbert, Kimmel, Gayle King, ABC, CNN — all in his crosshairs. Fear is the point. The Constitution is the casualty. But honestly he’s just trying to make his little tiny scared self feel better. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-censor...
