Trump: "We've taken in almost $17 trillion of investment." (That would be more than half the entire US GDP, so no.)

The court affirmed: there was no rebellion, and local law enforcement was capable— Trump and Hegseth still sent Guard and Marines. This sets a dangerous precedent for military force in blue cities, undermining civil liberties and democratic governance. #OneMillionRising #Pillar: Military-Police-ICE

So Trump is over 40 minutes late for his "big" announcement because he's too busy thinking up new ways to wreck the country?
The Trump admin is now moving to effectively double the number of immigration judges by citing flimsy legal authority to deputize hundreds of totally inexperienced military lawyers to take these jobs. Notably, immigration law is infamously complex, often described as second only to tax law.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

Past presidents have implemented tariffs — but they have done so legally, through Congress. This case is different: it’s an abuse of emergency economic powers by the president. That’s why we’re fighting it in court — and why we’re winning. #tariffs #ieepa

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground?

You spelled ENDANGERING wrong, @nytimes.com. “Pushing the boundaries” is a *positive* frame implying unconventional innovations. There are no innovations here. Just medieval anti-science populist attacks on some of best methods of truth seeking we have.
Thoughtful Cats Did your cat send you a card today?
It’s long past time you all stopped using “Congress” when you mean “Republicans”. Not a single Democrat voted for this hot mess of an appointment. This endless grind to maintain a non-partisan tone, despite the partisanship of our fascist reality, is willfully blind, & a betrayal of your country.

Also, why the fuck does he have his name on his shirt? Like we don’t know who the hell he is? Is this to remind him? I’m so tired of him…everything about him!!
the trump administration is counting on enough people not caring about Ayman soliman’s fate so they can deport him as soon as they can get away with. That is true for an exceedingly large number of people and families, but to make this very simple: It’s not an exaggeration to say his and others’…

My theory is that they floated a rumor so we would all make great jokes about it and we're all gonna get a life sentence for each great joke we made about it. So that's about 10 life sentences for me.
RFK Jr, "We need to stop trusting the experts, right.. Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy" Good luck America 🤷♂️
This man just renewed his immigration papers in court and ICE rips him away from his screaming children. This is happening with our taxpayer money.
it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.
i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there

I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…

Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...
Maybe this IS purgatory.
ICE GOONS forcibly removed a law-abiding man from his distraught children, despite his recent renewal of immigration documents in court. Where is the real law enforcement in all of this, and why are they allowing kidnappers to operate within government buildings?
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

I realize it's been 5 years but how is it no one remembers the early days of the covid pandemic and how scared we were? I was waiting for medical doctors and epidemiologists to do their thing and save us. I welcomed the vaccine after I almost died. Does no one remember how bad it was?!
