While Dumbo Trump rages about his half-baked invasion of Chicago, China seizes America’s leadership role in the world. Nice going, MAGA! China tries to use Trump turmoil to unite leaders against U.S.-led order www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
With Trump gearing up to invade Chicago, Mayor Johnson lays down the law - and a marker. No masks. Body cameras. Obey the freakin’ law! Source: Chicago Sun-Times chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/08...

GOP-appointed Senator Ashley Moody runs true to form. A perennial loser in court when she defended DeSantis’ lunacy as Attorney General, she blames “activist litigants” and an “Obama Judge” for enforcing the law and closing their “Alligator Alcatraz” nightmare. floridapolitics.com/archives/753...

The CDC is imploding. There are troops in DC and LA — and they’re headed to Baltimore and Chicago. Yet another massacre of children. And what is the focus of NBC’s Meet the Press? Hoda Kotb. The retired Today Show host. No. Really. Hoda Kotb.
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
You got it!
The Bar Association ought to take up these cases by the THOUSAND. Crush this bullshit under the only thing these stupid assholes care about — MONEY!
Here’s a really stupid new Trump idea: high speed car chases on DC’s crowded streets and winding parkways — all to catch speeders and brake light violators. The upshot: ten car chases, six crashes. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Take a look at these sculptures. Zoom in. The detail and humor are everywhere.
Corrected. Thanks.
They made jokes about it. Check out Attorney General James Uthmeier. Here’s what that odious cretin said: "If people get out, there's not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons." The Republican Party has been commandeered by vicious sociopaths. THEY must go to jail
They’ve locked out attorneys. They don’t allow reporters. God only knows what horrors are being visited on these folks — our friends, neighbors and loved ones, who want nothing more than what we do, a chance. Nuremberg-style trials must follow this nightmare.
DeSantis is the most humorless, confrontational Governor in recent Florida memory. And he’s apace with the practiced cruelty and violence of Donald Trump. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/08/29/t...
Trump is abusing the global economy like a personal stock market scheme. This manipulative prick is wrecking industries and pocketing power while Americans pay higher prices because of his idiotic tariffs. Of course, he never had that authority under IEEPA. He is the living embodiment of grift.
Imagine if the president did die and this nightmare was over on the same day IEEPA deemed his dumb tariffs unlawful. 🙏
“He was looking forward to finishing the first Harry Potter book and starting the second one, his parents said… He wanted to learn how to make beef Wellington. He was excited about his father coaching him in flag football. There were Lego structures to build. More grilled cheese sandwiches to make.”
Thank you. And SHAME on foolish RFK, Jr
We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr
These bastards must be prosecuted. Trump, DeSantis, the prison goons, ALL of them. Prison is too good for their sorry, useless asses.

"Gaza's students fill their[ calendars] with survival plans. They learn how to have an exam under bombardment ... and how to live to witness another semester. Their pursuit of education is not a privilege; it is an act of defiance in the face of this destruction."
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.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
This seat had been in Republican hands for 13 years. When we are organized and support strong candidates who are focused on the issues that matter, we can win. Let's keep this going.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
In a place where schools are flattened by Artillery and drones, a few shots wouldn’t even be noticed.
Joni Ernst is pulling a Tillis. Another telling action about how the GOP truly sees the midterms playing out. Jump ship to avoid Trump's political wrath. Next up a similar headline about Susan Collins soon.
The Congress sets tariffs — exclusively! And now the Appellate Courts show that they, too, can read, even if Trumpland cannot. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Why are your kids having to dodge bullets in Homeroom? Fuck-nuts RFK, Junior and Asshole Trump say it’s the medicines they take. Seriously. Where the FUCK do we FIND these clowns? abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/r...

CORRECTION. it wasn’t 50 shots. It was 120 Four magazines. An assault rifle. Also brought a pistol, but the pistol jammed. The assault rifle was far more efficient.
Fuck Trump. He’s at 35 pct and dropping like a stone. Ukraine must hold out until there’s no longer a Putin Puppet in the White House
Just in case you forgot…
Yes. Palestine (“Gaza”) is a violent mess, too. What’s your point?
How is it that every other industrialized modern society gets by WITHOUT 120 guns for every 100 people?

(2:2) The case was DC v. Heller, a DIVIDED opinion, BTW. Until Heller in 2008, nobody took a citizen’s “right” to guns seriously. Look it up.
Read it. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Key words : “well regulated militia.” It was activist judge Scalia who cooked up the notion of an INDIVIDUAL’S supposed right to own guns (1:2)
Or maybe we should all wear battle gear and bulletproof helmets? Would that be enough to satisfy the (gun makers) NRA? I know! BOMB SHELTERS! We can all hide in BOMB SHELTERS!
And will there be video surveillance of grocery stores, too? Bars? NFL Headquarters? Airports? (These are just the mass shootings this summer!). Where else? And wouldn’t it be a lot easier to simply reinstate the assault weapons ban ???
Many veterans have said the same thing, those are weapons of war, they witness the deadly results, there is no excuse for citizens have them in their homes - the claim is for protection - the question is from who - k-8th graders!?
Critics Recoil as Evil Trump's DHS Moves to Bar Disaster Aid for Undocumented Immigrants "This is unfathomable discrimination against immigrants that will cost our country lives," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-d...
PS. Not letting it pass that you’re citing the Daily Wire. Not exactly Pulitzer nominated, objective journalism, is it? What? Steve Bannon’s notepad not available ?
And what is it you would have him do, consistent with your views on the 2d Amendment? (Remembering, of course, that the “politicians” are just “citizens” that you and I have elevated).
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
I’ve been in the fight for gun reform since the MLK/RFK assassinations in 1968. We made progress sometimes, suffered setbacks too. All punctuated by gunshots, which inspire us to redouble our efforts. Politics ain’t for the faint of heart: it’s long, hard & disappointing - with no final victories.
And condemning those who are trying to do so.
Yes. Not even trying to effect change.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
What a stupid country America has become.
The head of HHS is a junkie appointed by a rapist and pedophile. Go us.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request

There is no reason that legislative language cannot be crafted in such a way as to ensure the rights of law abiding citizens — but get these military weapons out of the hands of civilians.
This is from the resignation letter of Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who ran the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Fight back. Don’t quit.
Hannity blames Biden for the shootings — opening the borders to millions of unvetted immigrants and terrorists. Can you think of a mass shooter who was an undocumented immigrant? Me neither.
“Psychotic morons” (a clinical term?LOL) shouldn’t have ANY firearms. That’s why background checks. And NOBODY should own an assault rifle.
I don’t believe the framers had in mind these super weapons. You have no more constitutional right to own one as you do a machine gun, a tank or artillery
That’s why we all need to get behind nationwide background checks, waiting periods and restoring (+ revising!) the old, expired assault weapons ban. I know, not likely now. But everything is possible after 2027. Never give up
That’s a terrible attitude. You’ve given up. We banned assault weapons in 90s + some bipartisan support for common sense background checks. But even those won’t stop legally owned rifles (today). Nobody needs a weapon of war that sprays 50 rounds into a church full of kids in a manner of seconds.
Sandy Hook. And Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school. And Columbine. And those are just the ones that come top of mind. BAN THE FUCKEN ASSAULT WEAPONS, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE! All sides claim to care about kids. Bullshit. It’s so bad that kids now have monthly mass shooting drills. Shame on us.
I think those kids’ right to a life trumps any right to carry an assault rifle

How in the FUCK does a nutcase get hold of a gun that sprays 50 shots — FIFTY! — into a church filled with little kids ? Take the 2d Amendment and shove it right up your gun-loving ASS!
This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.
The DeVos family has a goddamned private AIRPORT for the family’s aircraft. Giving these ding-dings a tax break is why kids are getting cheated in school.
I’m so sorry for the children who were shot this morning in Minneapolis as they prayed at Mass on their first week of school. There is evil in this world — but we don’t have to give it weapons. news.sky.com/story/minnes...
Round up the Jan 6 Insurrections n death penalty for them! #arresttrump
Assault with a deli weapon ?
Gov. JB Pritzker on Trump calling him fat: "From my perspective, it takes one to know one. And the President is not in good shape. I would say his personal attacks on me are just evidence of a guy still living in fifth grade." #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
