Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
What next .. straight out of Handmaid's Tale create your own judges, create your personal army ....
I see White people. A lot of White people. In fact, just White people...at the Trump press conference.
From Judge Pillard’s dissent: media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/doc...
This kind of corruption is as brazen as it gets. Trump is easily the most corrupt President in our country's history. Yet Republicans in Congress are not lifting a single finger to exercise basic oversight. Shameless complicity.

You would think, if reporters like Tapper really believed there was a cover up of Biden's infirmities, that they would never ever make that mistake again. And here we are, with the near-total absence of reporting on Trump's infirmities. Always like they don't really believe Biden's were cover up.
We’ve spent more time talking about nonexistent crime in 🇺🇸 cities in the last month, even as we’ve totally erased actual political violence from the National Conversation™️. Hard to overstate how disheartening & deeply unserious this has been.
One of the world’s most prominent hedge fund billionaires has warned that rising inequality is turning the US into an autocratic state and condemned business leaders for failing to speak out against Donald Trump’s policies.
Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change

Good to see some of the elders in the fight.
Mike Johnson refuses to put up a plaque honoring Capitol Police’s sacrifice on Jan. 6. Yet, Ashley Babbit’s family gets a $5M settlement & a full military honors funeral for her being part of a riotous mob trying to break into the House chamber. This country’s so fuct thanks to GOP enablers.
Thank you on this labor day!!

Literally the one thing the dude did that worked was the COVID vaccine and he is considering dumping it because of RFK.
Donald Trump is the most anti-worker President in history. From tax giveaways to CEOs and billionaires, to gutting workers rights, he puts those at the top first.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Nine former directors of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joined forces to warn Health Secty Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “endangering every American’s health." RFK Jr MUST be charged with manslaughter. Dem State AGs must charge him for killing Americans.

Before Joe Biden had officially launched his campaign, I had warned that resegregation was at the core of the racial grievance of Trumpism. A month later, I would write about the solution to it, and as usual nobody heard because nobody listens to me lol
52 of 53 Republican senators voted to confirm him.

When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.
Grand juries are not delivering the indictments that the Trump administration is asking for—and that may just be the start of a massive legal failure, Quinta Jurecic argues.

Where's the report from @jaketapper.bsky.social about how the trump administration is COVERING UP for his obvious health decline?
Remember when Trump trotted out an innocent Black child who was a cancer patient, like he was a prop, and then MAGAs pretended to be offended when we didn't celebrate that publicity stunt? Yeah...Trump's fascist policies have defunded pediatric brain cancer research. MAGA wants Structural Eugenics

Excellent question.
Copy of the resignation letter of Charles Borges, SSA whistleblower. Says resignation is involuntary, result of punishment for exposing wrongdoing. “I have suffered exclusion…a hostile work environment…making work conditions intolerable.”
Republicans aren't running for office...their polls are dropping...their own base is mocking them and yelling at them at town halls... And yet they seem very comfortable and unbothered. Ask yourselves why?
They have a choice!! That excuse won’t fly when this is over. Prison is on their horizon.
Fill the void but let folks know that we filled where Trump failed.

Trump and Kari Lake lose on their effort to remove the Director of Voice of America.
The White House fired the Center for Disease Control Director because she refused to go along with RFK Jr.’s unscientific directives. More top CDC officials have now stepped down amid the chaos. Vaccines and science save lives. This Admin must stop politicizing public health.
Punch 👊🏻 back 👊🏻 harder 👊🏻
Bill Cassidy voted to confirm RFK jr! He is one of the three biggest POS Louisiana ever produced! His medical credentials aren't worth the paper they are written on.
NEWS: A federal judge just BLOCKED Kari Lake from ousting VOA Director Michael Abramowitz, saying that Abramowitz can only be removed by a majority vote of the VOA’s advisory board — which Trump fired. Trump will have to replace the board members before Abramowitz goes anywhere.

“Don’t think of this as someone else’s kids. They are your kids, praying in a church before school.” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey August 27, 2025
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
Joshua Reed Eakle It's impossible to overstate how big of a deal this is. In a normal world, there would be impeachments, investigations, and prison sentences.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
NO ONE GETS CRUSHED IN COURT MORE THAN KEN “CONSERVATIVE WARRIOR” PAXTON! HE LOST AGAIN TODAY LET’S CELEBRATE KEN!

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
Post and attached story don’t match.
George Retes, a 25-year-old U.S. citizen and Army veteran, was driving to work when he encountered an ICE checkpoint, where agents broke his car window, pepper-sprayed him and dragged him out of his vehicle for arrest. He was detained for three days and three nights without explanation.

Christopher Prosch campaigned as a Trump conservative for a seat Iowa Republicans have held since 2013. He lost tonight in a landslide to Catelin Drey.
That Iowa Senate seat was red for 13 straight years—until Catelin Drey showed up and flipped it. No gimmicks. Just grit, organizing, and voters ready for change. Huge win—and it’s a sign of what’s coming. Let’s keep going. 🔥👏🏽
🚨 🚨 Democrat Catelin Drey wins Iowa Senate special election, breaking Republican supermajority Catelin Drey's victory is the latest in a string of positive special election results for Iowa Democrats this year that will give the party hope that it can claw back seats in the 2026 midterms.

Everyone in Trump’s administration needs to be disqualified for running for any future office. They are un-American and have proven they are incapable of critical thinking skills. They should be easy to defeat in any debate.
Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
