NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
👀💥 In Moscow Balashisha, something is actively burning in an industrial zone with sounds characteristic of detonations.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
This is never going away, is it?
No backbone in him.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
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?
What a ridiculous person.
Good night 🌙 and….
"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? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Law and order? Joke!!
CAP ECON: “We obviously have no particular insight into whether the Supreme Court will uphold .. If it did, “Treasury would .. need to return most of the now-close to $100bn in additional customs duties .. and there is a danger .. other countries would back-track on any preliminary agreements.”
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
On Wednesday, as firefighters worked to contain a 9,000-acre blaze in western Washington's forests, federal officials escorted 44 of those firefighters off the premises, arresting two of them on charges of illegally entering the country.
Rip Van Winkle woke up.
The Battle of the Leaves will go down as a decisive victory in American history.
When you deport immigrants, this is what you get.
There goes my disposal income. Are decreasing sales being offset by higher prices? You need to know that either sales are being reported because it can cover up a bad report.
Hope is eternal.
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.
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.
Looks like his father taught him well.
NEW: The Texas Republican lawmaker who blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander suggested “shoot, shovel and shut up” as a way to deal with immigrants — a comment that could boost legal efforts to block the state’s map. From: @jenrice.bsky.social
Only in the USA will we honor losers of a war with memorials. It is a stain on all our service men and women .

We are a corrupt country.
❗️Trump's envoy, Witkoff, broke protocol and misreported Putin's words about "territorial concessions" - Reuters Reuters notes that the situation arose because Witkoff went to the meeting without a State Department representative, who usually keeps a record of the negotiations.
Yup, the only country in the world where losers of a war get honored.
"If you are an authoritarian, or a wannabe authoritarian, you are inherently driven to follow a specific checklist that allows you to a) consolidate power and b) neutralize sources of dissent...Trump has made extraordinary progress in a short period of time." open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
I’m gonna lose it if one more person suggests that Lisa Cook admitted to mortgage fraud or that she tried to explain it away as a “clerical error.” Neither of those things happened!

Karoline Leavitt on the CDC: "One of those individuals wrote in his departure statement that he identifies pregnant women as 'pregnant people,' so that is not someone who we want in this administration anyway."
NEW: Judge Boasberg has GRANTED our preservation order for Musk's phone records in our FOIA case against DOGE. The request was made by the other plaintiff in the case - First Amendment Coalition - as they propounded the FOIA. You can read the ruling here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
It won’t fit in screen shots but linking here the full letter of resignation posted by one of the departing CDC officials, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who ran the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and led efforts to fight COVID, monkeypox, and bird flu x.com/dr_demetre/s...

Supreme Court did this!!!
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

He also said, “I can do anything I want, I’m the president of the United States.” The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.
* ITALY PM MELONI SAYS RUSSIA'S LATEST STRIKE ON KYIV SHOWS IT HAS NO INTENTION OF NEGOTIATING END TO WAR @reuters.com
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
The proposed indictment didn’t cut the mustard.
Anyone who thinks these threats are a joke is either ignorant, a moron, or not paying attention. www.cbc.ca/news/world/d...
A top Florida official says the state-run immigration detention facility in the Everglades will likely be empty in a matter of days, even as the DeSantis administration and the federal government fight a judge's order to shutter the facility, according to an email exchange shared with AP.
You can indictment the man but the sandwich you can.
Should have indicted the sandwich instead of the man who threw it.
These guys should be home with their families.
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
Russians are sharing videos on Telegram of their military plants asking Ukrainians to bomb ‘em since they haven’t been paying salaries for over 2 months. 😂

Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job
".. unless Pulte somehow had particular knowledge about issues with Cook's application, which is unlikely, then one has conclude that Pulte handed Fannie and Freddie a list of political enemies and asked for their loan files for review."

The wolf packs are out looking to satisfy its sadistic desires.
