This is not what America is. Itâs not. And we must make this very clear when we vote in 2026.đ
This is a thing weâre doing in America now.

Impotent in more ways than one.
Trump Goes to Hell: my latest piece for Lincoln Square. It's not quite a novella in length, but it's a long read and a fun trip to the Bad Place. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/trump-goes...
Russia unleashed a barrage of nearly 600 drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight into Saturday, according to Ukrainian officials. It was the second large-scale aerial attack in three days.
âA respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.â This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
Europe has begun buying American weapons for Ukraine in earnest, only weeks after President Trump struck a deal with NATO allies to do so. A package of U.S. cruise missiles is among the first shipments.
Real scientists will leave the country. Research will move to Europe and China. Innovation will happen elsewhere as one more American industry succumbs to the poisonous effects of corruption. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-cdc-th...
The headline at the Daily Beast features the quote âI will walk out the motherfucking door,â and it isnât a scene from the Trump marriage, because come on, youâre not still comforting yourself by pretending Melania is a victim in all this, are you? Pfffft.
The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.
âĄď¸Iowa Dems just broke the GOP senate supermajority by flipping a Republican seat on a special election in a district Trump won by 11 points in 2024. (This is why Trump is stealing seats) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
"So when they go in to steal the radio": um, what year is this? Are they rooting around for 100-disc CD carousels to steal, too?
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
to the maximum extent permitted by the Constitution=0
Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.
Military Religious Freedom Foundation asked me to make this video to raise awareness of their work and need for support. MRFF has helped almost 100,000 people serving in our nationâs military to stand up against Christian Nationalism in all branches. mrff.org/donate youtu.be/RY_oKI11iGw

An oral order was not sufficient for Drew Ensign on March 15.
"Any normal administration would've apologized to him and be leaving him alone....this is very characteristic of despotism and dictatorship. You really don't let people get away with winning against you." @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast:

The Islamic Republic of Iran is leading a brutal crackdown against Iranians in the aftermath of the 12-day war, initiated by Israel, and the U.S. attacks on nuclear facilities. Scores of political prisoners will be executed unless there is an international outcry.
Tell me you're in the Epstein Files without telling me you're in the Epstein Files.
MAXWELL: âMr. Trump never did anythingâ" BLANCHE: âCall him âthe president.â That will protect you from perjury for things he did before he was in office.â MAXWELL: âOK. The president was a gentlemanââ BLANCHE: âDial it back. No one is going to believe Donald Trump ever acted like a gentleman.â
This is so spot on, I have no spots left to give.
Thank god we had all this manpower dedicated to these âcareer criminalsâ
âTrump ended 6 wars.â âName 2.â âRussia Russia Russia⌠fake newsâŚ.â A+ exchange on British đŹđ§ radio
As Iâve said from the beginning, none of our allies should share intelligence with America as long as Trump is in the White House and Tulsi Gabbard has any access to intelligence. Neither Trump nor Gabbard can be trusted with intelligence.
Two people in the same position. That's not efficiency. And neither have any experience in the job. Zero plus zero equals what?
Fox is soaked in transphobia.
"I know that there's a different difference of opinions about Sandwich Man around The Bulwark..." "I'm on the pro sandwich guy side. Subway needs to name a sandwich after him, and he's become a hero of the resistance." @timmiller.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social talk that and more:
"The whole point of the Jade Helm hysterics was conservatives seeming genuinely afraid of the federal government sending active-duty troops into local American communities â a step that conservatives, at the time, characterized as obvious authoritarianism..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
I believe Rubio's chronological age is still only 17. But you can see him aging before our eyes into a desiccated husk.
Twenty-five years ago, and before, @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and I would not have agreed on much. He is entirely on the right side here. These governors of SC and OH, whose urban crime problems are *worse* than DC's, should mind their own business.
Gov. @GavinNewsomâs @GovPressOffice team has really cracked the code on how to give them a taste of their own medicine, remarkable to watch
ALERT: For the first time in the history of the survey, the Office of Personnel Management is CANCELLING the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). They donât want you to know how theyâre treating federal workers. I really want to create a shadow FEVSâŚ

A reminder why Melania is sending C&Ds to everyone who repeats Wolffâs claim but not Wolff himself.
âYou know youâre ruining the country right?â MASKED ICE GOON: âLiberals already ruined it.âđ¤ Trumpâs Gestapo attacks a D.C. delivery driver (one gives himself a concussion)â and they again make it clear who they are under the masks, and how far off the cliff we aređşđ¸ (from @marisakabas.bsky.social)
'My stomach turned': Senator recoils at stunning TrumpâPutin summit moment www.rawstory.com/richard-blum...
I love this trolling of Donald. đ¤Łđ¤Ł
Trump looks like a sad sack as Putin speaks at summit
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is living rent-free in a military home typically reserved for the U.S. Coast Guardâs top admiral, officials told The Washington Post.
This part. After Batya spent 3 minutes shouting everyone down, @terrymoranabc.bsky.social told her the truth.
OMG BAAAAHAHA
Trump has said that there was âlove and peaceâ on Jan. 6 and has asserted that the 2020 election was stolen. Truth AI called Jan. 6 an âinsurrectionâ after Trump reiterated âbaseless claimsâ of election fraud. wapo.st/45vMriv
Measuring the economy is like weighing the president: if youâve got an honest doctor, you get the truth. If youâve got a spin doctor, suddenly heâs 100 pounds lighter.

"'Are you making a derogatory comment about her sex life by talking about Arby's in her pants?' This is a fucking court transcript." @timmiller.bsky.social, @samsteindc.bsky.social, and @willsommer.bsky.social talk the Laura Loomer/MTG/Arbyâs scandal nobody asked for:
So much for lowering prices on Day One! Grocery bills are sky-high and Trumpâs tariffs are only making it worse. Americans are hurting, 17 million people are about to lose their Medicaid and the GOP is handing out tax cuts to billionaires.
Mr President: Tariffs will slow the economy and raise inflation. Come at me bro.
âNot much going on here. Maybe theyâre practicing.â Or looking for the Epstein files? #nationalguarddc
PHILLY DA @dalarrykrasner.bsky.social : âLet's not get lost in his silly distraction from the fact that he doesn't want to give up information on his own involvement in a pedophile ring. Did we all forget about that? Trump is the public safety emergency.â
Where is the video which they should be eager to put out?

WATCH â @jessicatarlov.bsky.social: âTomi, You lived in LA. You know those protests were in a 3 block radius, and those National Guard troops sat on their butts⌠Trump never tries to take over Republican-run cities or red states with high murder rates. He only targets blue states.â
holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
Awdah Al Hathaleen was shot during a clash with an Israeli settler. His West Bank village hoped No Other Land, the Oscar-winning film about settler violence that he worked on, might help protect them.
FIRE THAT MAN !
You can see there is jealousy coming out of his eyes. Jealousy coming out of his wherever.
I thought the data came through on multiple computers and that it wouldnât matter who was in charge. Isnât the data the data and not subject to manipulation?
âWe shouldnât be surprised that Donald Trump announced his fascistic plan today to implement a police state in Washington, D.C.âto put D.C. police under federal control and deploy 800 National Guard troopsâby lying through his teeth.â www.americaamerica.news/p/trumps-ass...
âThe worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetratorsâ. â Peter Baker
How about Memphis. It's number one. Top 10 most violent cities updated 2025. DC isn't even in the top 25. Why not send the feds into Memphis??? #1 Memphis, Tennessee: High murder rate and violent crime rate. #2 St. Louis, Missouri: High murder rate and violent crime rate.
NEW: Sen Whitehouse is asking for the following info on the sex offender status waiver and subsequent transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell. I got some of these answers in my reporting. If you work at BOP & have the answers, my signal is in my bio. Iâll keep you anonymous. open.substack.com/pub/muellers...
Businesses think in decades, not news cycles. If tariffs last only until the next press release, theyâre not an investment strategyâtheyâre just a tax on shoppers.
JOURNALISM PROFESSOR: So, you're going to mention that violent crime is way down in DC in the lede, right? First paragraph? WASHINGTON POST EDITOR: Uh... PROFESSOR: Okay, but the second paragraph, then? VOICEOVER: In fact, it appeared in the 23rd paragraph.
Enjoyed a nice long chat with my mate @wajali.bsky.social trying to make sense of the absolute torrent of economic news. youtu.be/YaWWnYk48Qw?...
Where are we at on tariffs and taxes?
Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no. www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...
⢠Grocery prices up ⢠Russiaâs war still raging ⢠Credit card interest rates not capped at 10% ⢠Prescription drug prices remain high ⢠IVF not free ⢠Taxes still on Social Security ⢠Tips not 100% tax free ⢠Overtime not 100% tax free ⢠Epstein files not released
So where does that leave things? Well, despite being ordered to produce any agreements governing the Everglades Detention Camp, so far it seems that neither Florida nor the federal government has ANY specific agreement authorizing FDEM to detain immigrants at the facility.
President Trumpâs new domestic policy law will have wide-ranging effects in New Mexico, which depends heavily on federal funding. Hereâs how some residents of the state are sizing up the new normal.
Thank you Geoff Duncan for becoming a Democrat. I became a Democrat two months ago. Itâs good to be on the side of democracy, the rule of law, and basic human decency. Welcome my friend. Letâs help make Dems a big tent. Great to have you on board.
