Putin's visit to China will last for four days. War criminal Putin brought several of his government members with him.
This is a plan for ethnic cleansing. It’s morally horrific and absolutely insane
New Mexico FTW!
Agree.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Absolutely incredible. The Berlin police justified repeatedly brutally punching this Irish activist in the face and breaking their arm... ...because they said they were acting like Nazis. Yes, violently attacking protesters opposed to genocide has definitely rebutted that one!
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
They're releasing the Epstein files?

In a press release Jack Daniels was whining that their profits and Canadian consumers are being hurt by our own boycott. They still don't get. They say sales dropped 62%. C'mon people we can do better than that. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ok. What are you doing about it? You need to be a lot more aggressive.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

Having been at NATO meetings in Europe I have little faith that the main countries would step up for Article 5 if we asked for their help. However, we have significant lessons to be learned from Finland and Sweden. We must also build our relations with the Baltics. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Morning Bluesky. Tesla had its seventh straight monthly decline in European sales in July, dropping 40% to 8,837. Chinese rival BYD surged past Tesla with 225% sales increase, to 13,503.
I completely understand.

They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
Welcome to stop and frisk (aka presumed guilt by skin color). BTW 50% of Latino men and 35% of a Latino women voted for ICE to do this to their own community.
🚨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. 🚨
Look forward to Stephen Miller's criminal trial and then life in prison for crimes against humanity.
🚨 🚨 🚨 Elgin, Illinois. Has Governor Pritzker seen this?! 1/2
No.

The current Dem establishment doesn’t and won’t. Schumer, Jeffries, etc etc are inert creatures of AIPAC and the billionaire class. The current establishment needs to be flushed away. Dems need a lot more Chris Murphys, AOCs, and Mamdanis. Fighters who speak the truth.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

You may already be aware of this. If so...it's good reinforcement: The President of Portugal branded Trump a RUSSIAN ASSET. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t even matter; what matters is this: world leaders see Trump as weak...compromised...and beneath respect.
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”
Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳
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:
Where was this?
We can't even play basketball 🏀 🤬
ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
We’re taking action to stop “ICE Air.” Avelo Airlines is cashing in on Trump’s cruel deportation machine by running secretive, often illegal, flights. Join our campaign to make these flights too costly to continue. www.groundavelo.org/...
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.

CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
Don’t get to excited. They’ll find a way to transfer these cases to Alabama or some other MAGA hell hole.
A judge once said any good prosecutor could indict a sandwich. Well, the Trump DOJ just failed to indict someone for throwing one.
It took an Irish journalist, Claire Byrne, to hand Farage’s arse to him on a plate. Depressing not to see more of this in British broadcasting. Anyway, enjoy how the big mouth has nothing to say for once after she plays him some very embarrassing footage…
Trump will just turn the graph upside down.
They’ll come up with a way to move these cases out of Blue cities and states just like they’ve done with immigration cases. If you think for a moment that “our system” still exists or will be any protection, you’re tragically mistaken.
When they make their move to abolish congress and elections, they want to control access to the capital. They’ll do this with roads and bridges next.
Good. I’m glad the left is finally fighting. MAGA billionaires have been funding their fascist influencers for decades.
There is something deeply wrong with a country that chooses to make running for their lives part of kids’ back to school ritual. When we finally passed a gun safety bill in 2022, mass shooting began to drop. But it was an unacceptably small start. We must do more.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

used to be you could get an indictment against a ham sandwich. now you can't even indict a guy who throws a ham sandwich. folks, www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
“AIPAC shakur” 😬
Out of 535 members of Congress, only 10 refuse AIPAC money. That means that the ONLY thing a highly divided Congress can agree on is to let Israel slaughter Palestinians and engage in unspeakable war crimes. Because that’s what they are paid to agree about.
So the DOGE thugs copied all our Numident data to a virtual private cloud. And Musk's thug Edward Coristine was given access to it. A 19 yr old now has all the SS and personal info of every single person going back to 1936.
i don't even think they believe it's reasonable. israel just knows that at this point they could blame an airstrike on the tooth fairy and there would be no consequences.
Bolton, along with you and your fellow neo-cons, are no different than MAGA, fanatically destructive. You lied to incite the US invasion of Iraq. You intimidated and harassed anyone who disagreed with you, just like Trump. Trump going after Bolton is like Stalin going after his Bolshevik rivals.
Inert pathetic show ponies beholden to the same AIPACs and billionaires that fund MAGA.

Spot on. And for the first time, a high official spoke about holding Tump and his henchmen accountable. Accountability for these fanatics and their street thugs should be a pillar of the resistance.
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Yesterday in the Oval Office Donald Trump said that some people in the US want him to be a dictator. I’m running for Congress to stop that from happening. Please chip in our average donation of $32 to help me get there: Katforillinois.com/donate
We now have an economy subject to the whims and desires of one person, unaccountable to anyone else. Call it what it is: a dictatorship.
"Mamdani’s proposals would make the city more livable for working people while improving public goods — from transit to child care — that benefit everyone, including those footing a slightly higher tax bill."
The people perpetuating these crimes, up and down the chain, have to know they will be held accountable…harshly.
THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
I hope they go to jail. That should be the minimum punishment they face.
Utterly criminal and depraved.
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
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
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.
