Terrific piece by @mehdirhasan.bsky.social for @theguardian.com. The country desperately needs congressional Democrats to get their shit together, and it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

We saw it in Los Angeles, and we’re quickly seeing it sweep the nation. When Donald Trump exerted blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, that was just the beginning. Democracy is under assault before our eyes, and we have to do all we can to stop this madness.
That’s not a craving that’s a staple 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Commemorating the Battle of DC...
Man, they REALLY don’t want to hang that plaque honoring the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6. @acyn.bsky.social
"I thought they were going to make me board the plane like they did with the other kids from the shelter, but they asked me for my name and told me I was not on the list." A terrifying declaration from an unaccompanied child nearly removed to Guatemala straight out of Schindler's List.

Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda: "The worst part is that the government is still in possession right now of documents & information that could help me remember and get over all of this maybe, and help me heal. They have documents w/ my name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house"
Those pilots must feel so proud
The protectors are the perpetrators
Uh oh!! TACO TIME 🤣🤣

2 FL pastors arrested in St. Petersburg for blocking FDOT crews from removing a “Black History Matters” mural outside the Woodson African American Museum. They knelt in prayer defying police orders and were charged with obstructing traffic and resisting law enforcement www.axios.com/local/tampa-...

We are filing a request for a preliminary injunction to block the extension of soldiers’ deployment in Los Angeles through Election Day. There was never a need — and there is certainly no need now — for troops to be deployed against their own communities.
😳😳😳😳😳
Thanks to opposition leader Péter Magyar, "Hungary’s Christian conservative Disneyland, a shining beacon for Tucker Carlson, JD Vance, and others in the Trump administration, may be heading toward collapse." H. David Baer on the possible end of Orbánism:
Jeffrey Epstein survivors say they haven't had any contact with the DOJ
See through it.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Looks like Kristi Noem’s de facto Chief of Staff thinks he’s lined up the kind of “judges” that they want.
Remember they sent "alleged gang members" to a prison and it turned out they were not.....
So the U.S. military just blew up 11 people on the open sea in an extrajudicial massacre, saying they were dangerous drug traffickers but offering no court prior evidence to claim such. And other military units are patrolling U.S. cities with guns and no training in criminal procedure. Cool, cool.
You do not have to live in Oklahoma to sign to remove this horrible man. We're almost to 34K signatures🖤🤍 chng.it/fMqWL4GCx8
The next Matt Gaetz
Pritzker on Trump's plan for Chicago: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
So what was the deal with that person throwing shit out the White House windows?

❗️ "This is the best phone in the world. The Americans can't listen to it - neither with their spy planes nor with their satellites": Venezuelan dictator Maduro shows off a Huawei phone given to him by Chinese President Xi Jinping on stage.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Think he can?
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
So Comer released 33k Epstein Files 👀 But yet again they are mostly things already released… www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
WHAT. THE. FUCK?
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?"
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.
And I share it!
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the 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?
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Good things happen when there is global cooperation.
JFC, Atlantic Monthly. Michelle Obama wanted kids to eat healthy and exercise. She wasn't bent on destroying our federal health agencies.
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.
Only in New York 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nory Sontay Ramos was a thriving high school student in L.A. until she and her mom were deported by the Trump administration in July. For @msnbc.com, we visited her in Guatemala as she tries to graduate remotely while hiding from the same gang they fled years ago. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/n...

It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
Jerry Nadler, the longtime Democratic congressman who represents the Upper West Side, says he will not seek re-election.

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

Today’s press pool photo shows Trump leaving the White House this morning. I enhanced the image. And seriously, can an expert explain what the hell is happening to his forehead? Right above his nose and right brow.

I wonder if Susan Collins will follow the lead of Joni Ernst and drop out because she knows she'll be trounced and most of her constituency hates her.
ATTN UNIONS: You're next on the menu.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
A huge landslide causes homes and land to plunge into the sea, Norway.
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."
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
"Here’s the truth we cannot escape: If Ashli Babbitt is honored, then few things are sacred. If loyalty to the Constitution and an attempt to overthrow it are treated as equal, we lose the very meaning of service." www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
⚡️Ukrainian drone strikes halt operations at Russia’s Kuibyshevsk refinery, sources tell Reuters. The refinery, operated by Rosneft, saw both of its main crude distillation units — CDU-4 and CDU-5, each with a capacity of 70,000 barrels per day — taken offline in the recent strikes.

I am pretty sure there is a special place in hell for Western media headline writers. The deliberate and painstaking effort to whitewash genocide requires a special talent that only total moral emptiness can produce.
California’s homelessness growth rate last year was lower than 40 other states, including Texas and Florida. The work doesn’t stop here. With our new SAFE Task Force, we’re going to bring it down even further to ensure that everyone has a safe place to call home.
