The problem is that MAGA voters may not care enough about the Epstein files to abandon their loyalty to the Republican party - not to JD - but to the right-wing, racist, misogynist, anti-vax, Christian nationalist party. www.rawstory.com/trump-inside...
Pritzker today: "When did we become a country where it's okay 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?" Amen.

Excellent article: Mark Zandi's financial forecast using the analogy of the three-legged stool. At present one leg is broken & another is wobbly. Includes data on which states are in trouble, which are doing well (for now), and which are potential game changers (NY & CA). www.msn.com/en-us/money/...
Gun enthusiasts complain that "cars kill people, too". EXACTLY! That's why there's a driving test, licensing, registration, and insurance. They even have a unique VIN for identification. "Control" guns just like cars! You can still own them. Problem solved! ALL guns should be registered and insured!
Couldn't agree more! One governor's press office is doing more than the entire Democratic leadership.

A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Happy Labor Day to all including the scum. I’m glad at least one politician sounds as mad as we are.
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.

That's a lot of incentive. This is from the Homeland Security website, and the ad popped up as I was scrolling an online forum about car issues. www.ice.gov/join
Still one of my favorite images. Although given the current China summit, these may not be Frump's best friends anymore.
Remember the victims. Also, Epstein whistleblower Virginia Guiffre did not commit suicide. She was suicided.
This is a new low, and that's saying a lot.
They Tried to Sneak Out 600 Kids on a Holiday Weekend The government was loading Guatemalan minors, unaccompanied, some as young as 6-7.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
The irony of a US immigrant arguing for mass deportations in the UK.
Tell that all the kids in the generation before mine who lived their lives in iron lungs and with significant disabilities because of polio.
Deporting "unaccompanied children without proper immigration proceedings" is a whole new low.

Agree
Did I miss the chapter where Romney spoke out about the current administration?
We see these beautiful birds every day in Florida. Sometimes they actually stretch and pose for viewers, as if they know how magnificent they are lol.

Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements This is a big deal
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Who forgot to put into the constitution that a convicted felon cannot hold the office of the president?
We were taught to fear communism & socialism but Christian Nationalism wasn’t even on the radar. Genius.

JD is a puppet, installed to be a willing front man. He sold his soul for the chance to have the opportunity.
I worry about the fact that musk can flip a switch and turn all of the starlink satellites off
Freudian slip lol
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Serious question - every photo of this guy shows his eyes like this, and I find it unsettling. Does he have the thyroid issue that causes bulging eyes, or are the photos just bad? Is this actually the way he looks?
What Democratic candidate would you recommend?
So just to clarify, JD (tech bro puppet) would be first in line, then Speaker Johnson. But Miller is calling the shots? Did I get that right?
I would vote for him. No one is perfect, but he's the ONLY one punching back at the Repubs in any significant way. And he appears to be fearless/confident about speaking truth to power, which is a rare trait these days. For additional positions I like Jasmine Crockett, Jon Ossoff, JB Pritzker, etc.
I love the way dogs pose as well! Especially golden retrievers.
That's a great looking graphic as well
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Jesus wept
Is there a law or something that requires notification if the president is incapacitated, and a statement about who is in charge in the meantime? And I'll say it again - why aren't the Democratic leaders outraged about this and asking questions? National security issues?
Literally laughed out loud
Would someone please ask the Democratic leadership why they're not asking questions - every day - about this??
what does he know that we don’t
Wow. So it IS possible.
Worth repeating.
And nerds
Agree - and where is the Democratic leadership? There should be outrage that the president appears to be MIA. Who is running the country?
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.

Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
NEW: The Pentagon issued a “letter of concern” to Microsoft over the company’s use of China-based engineers to maintain sensitive government computer systems. The DOD is now investigating whether any of those employees have compromised national security. By @reneedudley.bsky.social
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
Excellent question.
Gun violence is the #1 cause of death for American children, ages 1-17. I care about this. I do not care about the Cracker Barrel logo.👍
Quiet cracking was the term
There's a new name for that. Something like quiet splitting, not to be confused with quiet quitting.
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
"Trump and Republicans are going to cheat to stay in power. How do we fight back?" This should be the question Democratic leaders are asking privately, and publicly, they need to sound the alarm and provide solutions. Or they can keep attacking Mamdani
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
Good.
Federal appeals court strikes down major chunk of Trump’s tariffs The ruling will not take effect right away, giving the administration time to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
All hail Chairman Trump — long live Socialism!!!
They’re traumatizing kids.
Disgraceful.
If this oleaginous haircut thinks local crime rates merit a federal military intervention, then he should be leading the armored column down to his home state of Louisiana, which is one of the worst in the nation.
Good news and about time
Well, at least there is a reason, albeit a twisted one, and we as a country are much the worst for it.
Indeed. It just gets worse by the day, doesn't it?
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.

Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
