Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

Oh, c'mon. Did she really say that with a straight face?
Is Vance on vacation again?
Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social take this advice please ๐
Chump Will Deceive You( LIE ! ) About Immigrants, but Why Hasn't ICE Arrested any Companies or Corporations that are Breaking The Laws.......The Grift continues !
Everything we take for granted โ weekends, paid vacations, sick leave, safer workplaces, health care โ exists because of unions.
And I can diagnose him just be looking at him: former drug addict and current idiot.

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

RFK Jr. is the Death Czar. ๐คฌ

Their idea of "patriotism" is literally treason.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
If I were charged with a federal crime, Iโd hire Pam Bondiโs brother as my lawyer. Because I donโt think this is a coincidence.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: โNo one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topicsโฆHeโs getting his information from somewhereโ
This is not America.
Donโt look away
We know you invoke prayer as a substitute for action because you send thoughts and prayers every time there's a mass shooting and you never do anything about it. You are not allowed to play the victim because the emptiness of your convictions is a national cliche.
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, theyโll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
As I read it, RFK Jr is set to surpass gun violence as the leading cause of death among US kids.
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
Not mineโฆbut sadly, too true not to shareโฆ
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kidโs โmitochondrial challengesโ just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
Republicans are incapable of telling the truth. #maga #republican #lies
Weโre going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes weโre bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: โThose who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.โ
He lost his mind years ago. But this community note๐๐๐
What an unbelievably stupid time to be alive.
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
With the worst of hurricane season still ahead, Trump and his croniesโ dismantling of FEMA has gutted the agencyโs ability to respond to disasters and keep people safe. These brave FEMA employees tried to sound the alarm, so naturally Trump is punishing them. Beyond shameful.
There is some truth to this. As long as the Supreme Court and congress enable him, trump will do exactly as he pleases. dailykos.com/stories/2025/8/26/2340393/-Trump-says-he-can-do-anything-he-wants?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=top_news_slot_4&pm_medium=web

Most of his Cabinet members would be disqualified.
Trump says immigrants must prove โgood moral characterโ โ this from the guy who paid hush money to a porn star, stole from his own charity, and tried to overturn an election.

Thomas Paine warned us about kings - โin free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other.โ James Madison warned us about religion - he stressed that forcing religious beliefs through government was an "illegitimate power." But here we are.
That aged poorly.
No lies told here.
Nichols: Even though these guys come across as clowns, they're clowns with flamethrowers.. They have the machinery of government behind them. These are people that normally would be struggling to hold on to middle management jobs in a department store somewhere
Way to go, San Francisco!! ๐๐
Rather than reveal the real evidence in the Epstein Files, the Trump administration manufactured "evidence" with the staged/edited Blanche/Maxwell theater. The release of that faux-evidence was to get us to stop thinking about the real evidence they continue to hide.

Whoโs gonna tell @tedcruz what @jimacosta.bsky.social said was exactly right?
So, the party of limited government, strict constitutional originalism and free markets is now lining up for federal troops in cities, government-imposed censorship in education and state ownership of major corporations. Shocking, but not surprising, I suppose.
OMG! ๐คฌ๐คฌ๐คฌ

This is socialism, plain and simple.

Oh, no doubt about it.
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. Thatโs a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California โ no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.

I love that we have a press that's like "John Bolton in classified documents case" instead of "John Bolton, obviously being targeted by the administration for bullshit, as is happening across multiple branches of the regime"
You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
Iโm with Billifer!

You tell โem, Gavin!
"recent moves by GOP lawmakers" stop. seriously, just stop. this is straight up copaganda at this point. if what they are doing is breaking the law or violating the constitution, you don't get to call them lawmakers. "recent actions by regime officials"
Again: this is not about what this country can or canโt afford. Itโs about priorities.
The amusing thing about this clip is the infrastructure bill was literally the first and only thing Nancy Mace brought up in terms of her accomplishments in Congress. Her biggest win for her district was legislation she voted against.
Two big takeaways from yesterday. First, by โjokingโ that if the U.S. were at war in 2028 there would be โno more elections,โ brushing aside the constitutional mandate for regularly scheduled votes. Then later, when a hot mic caught him telling French President Macron that
Proof that Newsom is getting under their skin. These people lack all self-awareness.

BREAKING: Vladimir Putin is pushing to meet Zelensky in Moscow and Zelensky has obviously turned this down. Why would Zelensky meet Putin in the country that wants him killed? This is all a big joke to Putin. He has no plans on stopping. He has no plans for peace.
Over the weekend, the โsandwich throwerโ posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance. A remix of Banksyโs mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.
