Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump. All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.
certain people made their careers flipping the fuck out, rightly, about the Bush-Obama drone assassination campaign. then in early 2017 they mysteriously went silent about it being radically ramped up, and again stayed silent when Biden largely ended it
REPUBLICAN @RepThomasMassie says the Epstein files *release* was bogus
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
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?"
Every time Trump uses the word “hot” to describe something, bile comes from somewhere down deep and forces its way into my throat…
Let’s go get it, America! Happy Labor Day everyone:
I desperately want to email this to a certain journalist

I’m not an ornithologist. Can anyone identify the bird in this photo?

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.
“Give your kids an extra hug and kiss today.” Jesse Merkel spoke at a news conference outside Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, where his 8-year-old son, Fletcher, was one of two children fatally shot at a back-to-school Mass on Wednesday. Read more: nyti.ms/45HBSKN
“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.

Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.

Disgraceful.
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
I wrote this essay about Pete's thinking about politics, morality, and faith. I'm not religious at all, but hearing Pete talk about politics in an almost spiritual way is very moving to me. I find it inspiring during a dark time. Just wanted to share: open.substack.com/pub/nerdypur... #Buttigieg
This is how it’s done.
CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”
This.

Garcia: We wanted the birthday book. We wanted Alex Acosta. Republicans refused. We told them that if they chose not to subpoena or bring in Acosta or the book, then we were going to try every single thing we could—forcing votes to get these documents. And so Comer kind of agreed to our demands.
RESIST the Fascists! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

Whether persecuting Abrego Garcia, threatening Fed independence, or eradicating military/civilian law enforcement divide, Trump is full on fascist. Unless states and ultimately the SCt (which created this monster) blows the whistle, democ is kaput open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.
This is 100% correct.
Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
The Trump admin wrongly sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a horrific El Salvadoran prison. Now, just days after he was reunited with his family, they’re trying to deny him his rights and deport him to Uganda. Kilmar—like everyone—deserves a fair hearing to defend himself.
Netanyahu issued this statement because Israel just bombed journalists in a hospital, then bombed the rescue workers that showed up on live TV, and he knows anyone with a conscience will be horrified. That’s not a “tragic mishap”. And there will be no “thorough investigation”.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Illinois tells Bondi that its sanctuary status stands firm.
NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
"If an independent redistricting commission is standing in your way, roll it the fuck over it. If the filibuster is standing in your way, if the parliamentarian is standing in your way, if any good government reforms are standing in your way, barrel through those things."
California didn't start the redistricting fight. But we're going to win it.
Garcia: Congress has to know and understand that Donald Trump is, I believe, the most corrupt person ever to serve as President of the United States
I know most of us could outrun this fat fuck.
17th century philosophy was characterised by the two opposing schools foundationalism: "i think therefore i am", and anti-foundationalism: "don't mind if i do"
Yes. Yes, it does.
When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.
genuinely, first time i have ever seen a politician tell old white people to eat shit

Subway sandwich guy has been released on his own recognizance. His attorney argued the felony charge was excessive, and the judge agreed. Oh, and he’s a USAF veteran. www.wusa9.com/article/news...
Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

"Why would we turn the US military against American cities when we have police officers and law enforcement officials whose job it is? I understand that crime is a major issue, but it's not the military's job to be able to do that. We have law enforcement whose job it is to counteract crime."
Tapper: What do you make of Abbott’s argument that you’re fleeing like chickens… Crockett: The only weakling is the Governor himself. It’s not Texans that asked him to do this—it is the criminal in the White House that begged for him to do this.
Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files

Amen!
Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.
Yes, this is how you fight, Governor!

This man is a danger to us all.
So many Trumpers . . . So little intelligence.
Jennings: I think the president is saying to the American people, why are we counting illegal aliens apportioning our political leadership? Kasparian: Because it's in the constitution, the United States constitution, the supreme court ruled on this in 2019, and they ruled against Trump
ICE has become the Trump version of the Sturm Abteilung . . . Prove me wrong.
