“Fire RFK Jr. now.” From @motherjones.com ⬇️ www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
his entire statement is excellent, and thanks to @atrupar.com as always for quality clipping and quoting. idk how you keep up with it all, man.
Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: “Man from Moscow” Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.
I’m beginning to think the problem in America is young white men. They are always the mass shooters, always the Nazis marching in the streets. And then they cry about male loneliness, they are lonely for a reason. Hate filled and white entitled POS.
Horrifying and not unexpected when white supremacists are at the highest level of power.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Hey Sen. James Lankford, stop your Orwellian doublespeak. We're not "jumping to conclusions" – RFKjr is a dark tetrad. He knows nothing about human healthcare. He's systematically trying to cull the American public. Remove him from office. Immediately.
Newsom responds to Trump’s odd post announcing he is going to bed early
Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident. I hope he gets the same expert medical care that he would wish for a disabled transgender immigrant.
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.

Former and present state of the Confederate State. Sigh.
Another Republicans wife deported. She was not Latino.
George W did the same, as detailed by @alfranken.bsky.social in his various books

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.
JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
We went from modern science to medicine wagon in 7 months.
Imagine if this administration put the same energy into finding missing children as they do into ICE.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Did Trump attend? He could read a book
Big turnout for the first day of Econ 101. #GoBlue
Definitely a very different team from last year. I think the X factor will be Ohtani’s pitching in the postseason.
This seems exceptionally unhinged, even for Trump.
TEXAS: “Would I be required to carry my birth certificate to the restroom because I have short hair? Is there anything in it to protect people like me?” REP. ORR: “No. It protects biological females.” @jessicafortexas.bsky.social : “That’s what I am.” More: www.fox7austin.com/news/texas-h...
The shamelessness of this liar.
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
Heed this @marcelias.bsky.social warning.
From Public Notice ... "Without irony or shame — and to absolve their followers of any guilt or responsibility — Trump wants to whitewash America’s original sin."
listen he cannot officially be declared un-dead until his caddie casually drops a ball on the green after he shanks one into the woods sorry I don't make the rules here
I’m really sick of the courts finding this administration broke the law in some unprecedented way, but they get to keep doing illegal things for a few months as a little treat. They’re defaulting to rewarding lawbreaking.
He did send this “truth” out today after a court ruled against his tariffs, so he’s not in such bad shape he’s not still spouting a bunch of manure. Sad to report.
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 29 AUGUST 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES TONIGHT I Honor my HOMETOWN, CHICAGO Trump insults our city But WITH A HEART OF GOLD We don't need the National Guard WE ARE THE HOME OF SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE WE ARE DIVERSITY, EQUITY INCLUSION WE ARE WOKE Ask the Pope
Ain’t it funny that people who are scared of artificial intelligence voted for no intelligence?
I’ve been told politics has made me angry. I say if you’re not angry then you’re not paying attention.
📌Something called "good news" -Conservative Wisconsin SC Justice Rebecca Bradley won't seek reelection, citing "conservative failures" -Iowa Sen. (R) Joni Ernst surrenders -Democrat Catelin Drey smashes Republican supermajority in Iowa, winning big in Trump district Keep hittin' back. He did.

Very well-articulated piece about how every American wins from federally funded innovative science
If your kid has lactose intolerance, lactose-free milk is a huge relief, right? Did you know it exists thanks to federally-funded research? So many tangible benefits of federally-funded research. Post & share. Enjoy or suggest a story. Or join the team! 😊 bit.ly/4564Uni
You watch as a child sobs for his mother—while masked agents of the state prepare to drag her away. ICE: “I don’t have any choice… [we’re just following orders].” The coward’s refrain. The excuse of weak, spineless men—echoed by every tool of tyranny throughout history.
20 rebounds. That stat alone is crazy.

From the BOROWITZ REPORT NEVER FORGET #EPSTEINFILES #EPSTEIN
Jeanine Pirro did everything she could to indict the sandwich guy-who is apparently a veteran-and failed Meanwhile the administration is giving Ashli Babbitt a funeral with military honors So if you're MAGA and you assault a police officer *for Trump* You don't get prosecuted You get celebrated
CLEARLY @profgalloway IS “THIRSTY” TO GET BACK TO HIS GREATEST LOVE, KARA ANNE SWISHER, WHOM SOME PEOPLE SAY IS THE MOST HANDSOME PODCASTER OF ALL TIME. “SCOTT-FREE AUGUST” IS COMING TO AN END TOMORROW AFTER THE LAST GUEST HOST, GAVIN CHRISTOPHER NEWSOM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

The party line vote w/Monarez will be interesting background given claims that GOPers plan to exercise SOME oversight over public health monster RFK Jr next week. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Had an insomnia moment about the value of Dems not ALWAYS voting against Trump nominees. Only to learn that Susan Monarez, who was allegedly fired yesterday, WAS confirmed on a strict party line vote (w/Hagerty and Sullivan NV) on July 29. www.senate.gov/legislative/...
He’s laying the groundwork to fuck with & overthrow the 2026 election. He’s laying the groundwork to stay in the White House after the 2028 election. Donald Trump is America’s enemy. It must be said. He is an enemy to this country. And he must be stopped.
Should “concern” all Americans? CONCERN? Barack Obama doesn’t get it. Just like the entire Democratic Party establishment doesn’t get it. We are lightyears beyond “concerned.” We’re fucking pissed off & ready to go to war to save this democracy. And we wish Democratic Party leaders understood that.
RFKjr is monster who is going to kill millions of people. Any attempt to justify or normalize any aspect of his war against US, justifies & normalizes his overarching goal of killing millions of people. He needs to be opposed completely.
I grew up in an Air Force family. My dad retired as a Lt. Col. It is infuriating to see Ashli Babbitt receive military funeral honors as the result of dying in an attempt to aid Trump's self-coup attempt. This is 1984-style revisionism. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery. Insurrection is Patriotism.
Trump is a treasonous, racist scumbag. He's erasing the history of Black soldiers, Indigenous soldiers, and other minority service members who fought for this country. Meanwhile, he's backing military honors for Ashli Babbitt, a January 6 terrorist. Absolute bullshit.
The US Air Force giving a traitor, draped in a partisan flag, a honorable funeral after attacking the legislature of the government they were sworn to protect. If the US military is willing to do that, what else would they would be willing to do for Trump? That's the real Ashli Babbitt headline.
This is like giving the Ziad Jarrah, the Flight 93 hijacker, a Congressional Medal of Honor. Ashli Babbitt and her fellow terrorists fulfilled Al-Qaeda's dreams when the attacked the Capitol building.
This is the plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6. It was approved by Congress 3 years ago, but the GOP won't allow it to be installed. It is sitting in a Capitol basement utility room surrounded by tools and maintenance equipment. But Ashli Babbitt.....
"CNN’s Scott Jennings Brawls With Colleagues Over Cause of Minnesota School Shooting" This is how far CNN has fallen. Instead of presenting news, they have people debating a school shooting where children were murdered like it's a sporting match. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/cnn...
this is an important moment.
A quarter of a billion dollars for this. 👇

He can’t possibly be that dumb, right????
Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID. If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.
What kind of a country does this? That would be a sh*thole country.
Rep. Eric Swalwell is interviewed/trolled: Don’t wear masks in our community. Real men don’t terrorize women. Do you know anyone who gets more threats than me? ICE agents aren’t getting more threats than me. Jesse Watters isn’t a man. 😆
🚨 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.

Texas is the North Korea of the south. The tree had one job.
Trump: "They call me the president of Europe. Which is an honor." Europe:
Statement from Fed Gov Lisa Cook: “President Trump purported to fire me “for cause” when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”
Gov. Pritzker dropped straight facts. 🔥 We have another Democratic governor who’s a fighter. Keep it coming!
In Trump’s eyes being a black woman is a crime.
🧵Got a flyer in the mail today about the CA redistricting proposition. The flyer calls it an untransparent power grab by Sacramento politicians, says it is wrong to gerrymander. It fails to note that it is fully transparent, voters can say yay or nay, it is a response to TX, & non-partisan...
They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.
look I try not to comment too hard on Dem messaging, my view is you should try a lot and see what sticks, but this is a clear case where the "distraction" framing is unhelpful—Trump is firing her because he wants control of the Fed, which is going to increase the cost of living for normal Americans!
In an audio recording from “Alligator Alcatraz,” screams can be heard in the background after a detainee collapsed in his unit. Chaos erupting in the detention facility. “They have us here imprisoned and abusing us in every way.”
New in PN: Then they came for John Bolton "It’s tempting to embrace fascist attacks on people you dislike or see as enemies, but if you let fascists build power, they’ll eventually get around to using it to come after someone you care about."
People ask me if I’m worried about fascism coming to America.My answer? It’s already here.
Me, not holding my breath.
"my guess is that arrests and deportations will eventually do even more economic harm than tariffs." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/iceing-the...
Sure, Hitler negotiated his brains out, and then we negotiated tf out of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Hirohito to unconditionally negotiate.
Tim Walz: "Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. 'Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid frickin' red hat. What should I say today? I don't know, just make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy -- the felon in the White House.'"
A major obstacle for folks attempting to defend democracy is that a perfectly accurate description of what Trump is attempting sounds like hysterical conspiracy theorizing to a lot of people. We default to “c’mon, that can’t happen here”—which is exactly why it can.
On a separate note, did Tim Scott call off his wedding after Trump passed on him as VP?
In his defense he doesn’t personally know that many black men, and they probably all look the same to him.
Now this is messaging. Not my constituents, not the people of Chicago, he said “MY PEOPLE.” Very effective and moving.
This is delightful. Ohtani is delightful. The heckler is delightful (a real “yep, ya got me” look). Just delightful.
Jesus Christ what an asshole.
Red state cities w/ higher violent crime rates than DC & Baltimore DC’s violent-crime rate: ≈ 949 / 100k. Kansas City, MO: 1,724 Indianapolis, IN: 1,334 New Orleans, LA: 1,121 Wichita, KS: 1,022 Baton Rouge, LA: 1,027 We know why Trump is targeting DC & Baltimore.
A mother cries out for her son who is in school while ICE arrests her outside of an immigration court after attending her hearing in San Antonio, Texas. Her only concern is for her child. This is happening all over America. This is not what safety or justice looks like.
This is how the Trump administration keeps kids “safe” The Cottonwood School of Civics and Science was located next to an ICE facility And the agents there used so much noxious munitions against protesters it became a safety hazard-so the school had to move Surreal newrepublic.com/post/199451/...
