Security will not be carding for minors or cousins.
It’s why the scientists all quit during the Obama Administration. They had had ENOUGH of Michelle Obama’s internet conspiracies about vaccines causing autism and measles being a fake disease.
Wildly underrated show
Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
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...
Did Trump post a week-old golfing pic as if it were today? That would really thicken the plot, huh?
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
Pope Leo XIV denounced the “pandemic of arms, large and small,” as he prayed publicly for the victims of the shooting during a Catholic school Mass in the United States.
Early reports of a school shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis (I was baptized at the church there). As always: it's the guns. The US is the only country in the world that politically tolerates and legally ensures the routine mass slaughter of its own citizens.
RFK Jr looks like he’s been sampling the diseases at the CDC
That’s his granddaughter, which probably means he was definitely looking at her.

Tremendous monologue on the state of the Democratic Party during this authoritarian takeover. Hit the nail on the head.
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
i was just making pottery and i felt donald trump's tiny hands on mine. probably nothing
🔎💰 New: "Trump Media Board Member Who Led SPAC Merger Sells Nearly All His Shares" me, for @forbes.com 1/
The Trump Media board member who led the SPAC merger, Eric Swider, just reported dumping another 5,000 shares.
In this Ohio diner, cancer research is what astrologers do for people born in late June and July. But they do know this: President Trump's landslide 49% of the vote gives him a clear mandate to defund America's scientists.
🚨The worst of the worst criminals are going after kids with backpacks and leaving their scooters in the road. 📌 WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA. We are running out of time. 🚨
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
Elon Musk needs to pay
Frat boys, neo-kluxers, and nihilists.
you mean "we're all going to die" wasn't polling well?
One of the most vile
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
New acting director of CDC Jim O'Neill expressed being pro paid organ donation. "There are plenty of healthy spare kidneys walking around, unused."
Thousands of DC residents chanting “fuck Jeff Bezos” outside of the P Street Whole Foods
If markets were not unmoored from reality, there would be a crash tomorrow based solely on that clip.
“.. democracy often erodes slowly at first .. But with each concession, autocrats become bolder.. and reversal becomes harder. Responses that, early on, can feel pragmatic—waiting it out, remaining silent, cutting a deal—only embolden ..” @dziblatt.bsky.social www.foreignaffairs.com/germany/hitl...
That photo is beyond Moscow, Beijing, or Tehran.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Disgraceful.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Hegseth is “out of his depth?” So going in, you thought the alcoholic sex pest with white nationalist tattoos from Fox News weekends was an acceptable SECDEF? To serve under an aspiring dictator? Fuck you, Tillis.

Benford!?! Feels like the secondary is going to be catastrophe this year.
Anecdotally, in my little bubble, the nondrinkers get harassed by the conservatives, who almost universally view sloppy binge drinking as part of their pickup truck driving/ flag-waving MAGA costume. I think there’s more drilling down needed in finding anything useful from that self reporting.
Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”
The irony/idiocy of this banner currently draped on the Department of Labor building is not lost on me, given all the federal workers he's forced out of their jobs. (Pic via Getty Images)
What an image (J. Scott Applewhite, AP)
Last year, Kareem Jackson got 3 elevations including a playoff game and he was 36. I’d bet on Poyer suiting up at some point.
Reup: John Roberts gave Ed "Big Balls" Cositine live and unaudited access to every Americans' social security data. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
NEW: More than 199,000 federal workers have left their jobs or have been forced out by the Trump admin since Jan. 2025, per a new report. That’s nearly 10% of the entire federal civilian workforce. “We’re seeing the arson of our government." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
John Roberts, you own this.
Utterly sickening.
Open dictator talk. No kings.
Rot in hell, Trump
Don’t let them tell you he’s joking. He’s putting armed troops in the streets. Not a joke. Not a drill.
Oh Dear Leader, we come to sing for you. You make the sun and the moon in the sky.
Rot in hell, Tesla shareholders.
What a fucking disgrace this low life is
The US jumped the shark. Time to accept reality and start anew.
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
Vichy Dems
This memo is being sent to Democratic leaders/elites, arguing that directly attacking Trump's deployment of the National Guard in DC is politically unwise. It encourages the use of terms like distraction and stunt. (I am not endorsing this kind of thinking at all. ) www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bz9d8...
Maybe Trump can fly to Beijing and bring Modi and Xi some tacky gold trinkets.
Joe Scarborough, like all rich Southern white guys, always has Nat Turner in the back of his mind.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
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
I cannot type the words I actually want to say, so for now I’ll just hope these people are haunted forever.
Make him send his brown shirts.
No sleep until Nuremberg Trials 2.
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
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.
If they invade your state, Governor, you have an obligation to use force to repel them.
This is a bullseye, but I hope it’s the last perfect analysis I read. It’s long past time to act and I think blue states need to immediately cut political and economic ties with the fascist federal government. Trump and the GOP are operating outside the Constitution. The GOP has already seceded.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
Good night, everybody. It’s Blue State Republic or die trying now.
Didn't take long to get to this...
Or complicit.
I’m burning a flag in my grill as he signs this. Come and get me, asshole.
And while the right wing story was constantly changing, the police report and the story from the teenagers both remained consistent. The teenagers say that big balls was harassing and trying to pick up the 15-year-old girl, and when he wouldn't leave her alone the boy jumped in to defend her.
Wondering if the time is approaching when this blueprint needs some fresh eyes on it…sometime while Josh Allen is still at the height of his powers.
We literally fought a war of independence to not be subject to the whims of a king. And here we are.
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
We need a movement to start direct election for party leaders in Congress. There is zero constituency for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries in the US of 2025.
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
hypothetically, if fucking a dog meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections, i would ask how you know the causality of that relationship, because if you can't explain how it verifiably does+will work, i gotta be real with you, it just sounds like you're looking for permission to fuck a dog.

Many are saying with tears in their eyes, “Sir, the woke Allies went too far.”
Destroying government records is illegal and the people doing it should face grievous consequences. The attorneys overseeing it should be disbarred.
