(FT) - Hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio has warned Donald Trump’s America is drifting into 1930s-style autocratic politics — and said other investors are too scared of the president to speak up. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/b86b...

Here's the response from Paul Bryant, the Black veteran and lawyer whom the govt arrested in part bc he had a legal weapon in DC, to USG attempt to get him detained. It leans heavily into the lack of Body Cam proving he shoulder checked some Guardsmen. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion
I mean. How on the nose would it be for those two to spend their twighligt years together
he’s fed up with politics. he’s going back to show business.
ive got no idea what's going on with Trump's health. But the 'biden precedent' is just so glaring and hilarious. half of 2025 has been taken up with elite press shaming of how no one ever talked abt Biden's age which was actually their main topic in 2024. Ok. Set aside that his party literally ...
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

Seems like as good a time as any to reshare my story on the Coffee County voting system breach, which details the key role Giuliani played in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Trump may do things for all the wrong reasons—cronyism, control, or just plain spectacle—but if the Left seizes this moment, it can help build a new common sense: one in which public money buys public power, and ownership becomes the foundation for a more equitable economy. trib.al/xdFhJLm

Wow
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
a very high proportion of centrist punditry now just boils down to "progressives yell at me on the internet and i don't like it." you would think that getting paid millions of dollars per year would give you thicker skin
My theory is: the media love the guy and want him to succeed
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
the cops have arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania but somebody heard if the dope isn't actually in the room with you they can't prove possession
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.

Spot on writing for this season of America.
Starting today, 2.4M Americans, including kids, lose SNAP food benefits. Stores like Freshly’s Market in Mississippi that serve low-income communities expect a 35–45% drop in sales. Children will go hungry & employees at Freshly's lose jobs. Welcome to trickle-down starvation.
So there’s a thing I’ve noticed repeatedly from people who are still on X, The Everything App - they’re constantly making weird accusations about Bluesky that don’t make any sense if you’re on here, and I think it’s a sign they’re deeply insecure about posting to X, The Everything App.

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:

KEILAR: Of 172 mass attacks between 2016 & 2020, 96% were non-trans men. Are you missing bigger picture? GORKA: No. When you look at shootings at Christian schools the data is different K: Of 32 school shootings since 2020, only 3 were trans shooters G: Forgive me if I don't go with CNN's stats
Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?
Lori Chavez DeRemer: "What I want to share with the American people is there should be no threat of AI displacing the American worker ... we see no threat."
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
Our news media are so broken. There's a way to challenge someone in an interview without looking like you're the press secretary for the other side. ABC's Martha Raddatz badly misses the mark. "Why fight with the president?" she asks.

Here you see an ex Republican with Republican instincts See Lee Atwater,who is telling Dems to fight like a Republican. The traditional liberal institutions have never historically met the challenge of fascism. Maybe this time
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
