And a bone petite to you too, my dear sir.
My pre-labor day reward was to get laid off, do me a favor and sign up to get my now-independent reporting and writing
Practicing for JD Couch. Russians usually prefer 4 stories up or higher, but it’ll have to do.
Awfully young boy getting a chain wrapped around his waist here. These kids *appear* to have been deported with their mothers. So not the unaccompanied minors from the court case, though ICE may have intended to have unaccompanied minors on this flight before the judge stopped them.
This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children. I’d love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at it… it’s so frivolous it’d be laughable if it weren’t so cruel. (Am I wrong??)
Militarizing our cities is not the way that we create safety. We create safety by funding SNAP and Head Start, and building opportunities and mechanisms for success -- not pouring funds into militarizing the National Guard on our streets.
“And what’s with that Infrastructure Week, amirite? Two weeks, two weeks, and NOTHING HAPPENS! What is that all about? Holy crap, who voted for that guy? Losers, that’s who!”
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.
ICYMI: ISW continues to assess that the Kremlin is pursuing a hybrid campaign directly targeting NATO states, including using GPS jamming and sabotaging military logistics in NATO members’ territory, and is likely using EW innovations developed in the war in Ukraine against NATO states at this time.
JUST IN: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, reports that all of the migrant children have been returned to ORR custody.

He looks orangey all over, are they dipping him in paint now or is that embalming fluid?
Braaaaaaains! Braaaaaains!
Funny thing is, even if he goes to hell soon, they still need to show us the Epstein report. Not ha ha funny.
Most of the labor rights that define America today- rights that under constant attack - are owed to Fanny Perkins, the first female cabinet member in US history and the architect behind the New Deal. open.substack.com/pub/rebekahj...
Fed Ingram is right. Despite a governor and a President targeting our union rights and the resources we need to thrive, workers are continuing the fight to better our communities and our country. #WorkersDeserve

You guys see where this is going? Right?
Unemployment for Black Americans has surged to 7.2%, the highest level since October 2021, when the job market was still recovering from the pandemic. The drop in employment is a warning sign. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...
Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.
If you can help this wonderful family, that is going through such unimaginable heartbreak. May her children grown happy despite such huge loss 💔
What is it with the tents? Are we back in Julius Caesar’s time or do they really like camping out?
If their Department of Labor poster looks vaguely familiar, it’s because they’re straight from the Soviet Union poster playbook.
Today's quick update [Aug 31]: - Fierce clashes between SAF and RSF continued in Elfashir, North Darfur. - Sudan Doctors Network: 7 civilians killed and 71 injured by RSF shelling on the city yesterday. #KeepEyesOnSudan
Hasan and his family still need your help
Can’t spell Melania without AI. Maybe she *is* a bot after all.
I know it's tough for everybody right now, but if you ever been homeless you know the panic it causes. Can we help this person stay housed for a little while longer?
Around 10 ICE agents showed up at Malcolm X Park to detain an unarmed man peacefully sitting on a bench. Wouldn't it be great to see them raking leaves instead of harassing innocent, harmless people and using the National Guard for free maintenance labor? What a total disgrace. #OnYourSide
The conduct of the police here is shameful, but more encouraging is the large group of community members who shamed them
We won't stop until they stop ✊🏽 East LA
The plane that most of the children were loaded onto that never left Harlingen, which NBC filmed here, appears to be a Global X Airbus A321 (reg. N570TA). No flight data for that time, but that's normal for the boarding process. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm... 2/

Just having worked with Schumer's office a bunch on comms reform specifically, it's a bit different than people think.
The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer. This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.
UPDATE: DOJ says that all but 4 of the unaccompanied migrant children have been returned to ORR custody. Transfer of the remaining four children is expected at approximately 11:00 p.m.
MORE: Judge Sooknanan order DOJ to file yet another status report. She sets 10:45 pm deadline for Ensign to address whether all of the children have been returned to ORR custody.
The thing about sourdough is that if you don’t like it you can eat another type of bread without whining about it.
Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
He rolled on his deathbed, to his Cabinet gave a whistle, And away they all flew, like a nuclear missile: But I heard him exclaim, ere he headed toward the light - Epstein files to all, and to all a
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
An 11-year-old boy was fatally shot in Houston after a prank in which he rang the doorbell of a home and ran away, police said Sunday.
That’s not who I’m talking about, the mom and pop generic ones.
Is it an exclusive contract, though?

The Trump administration has moved to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Honduras and other countries. Among them are health care workers tending to older and disabled people.
I’m wondering if it’s possible for stations that have a contract with a fuel company, but there are plenty of independents out there.
Plenty of parasites in the WH right now.

As of last week, DACA recipients no longer qualify for federal health insurance. I’m grateful to live in a state attempting to fill in the gaps left by this cruel decision, and we’ll keep fighting for access to care — regardless of immigration status. www.kuow.org/stories/as-d...

Here is a gift link. I know people have feelings about the times but this is free and reading this should make you very very mad and then you should do something:
For what I read they don’t receive full housing benefits and health insurance unless they’re deployed for at least 30 days. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
NEW: In the dead of night, the Trump admin ripped vulnerable kids from their beds, attempting to return them to danger in Guatemala. We’re heartened the Court prevented this injustice. We’ll keep fighting to protect our plaintiffs & all class members until the effort is enjoined permanently.
One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”
It’d be nice to have a Cold Case squad go through his every case in the SDNY. How many like trump did he keep out of prison?
Do we know what famous economist Ron Vara thinks of this?
💔💔💔💔
Until now, I wasn't convinced the rumors were true. But if the White House wants us to think Trump does NOT have Congestive Heart Failure, they should not have sent JD Goebbels to say on television that Trump has 100% perfect health. (Overkill) Nor evangelicals to fundraise his way into Heaven. /1
I know that we’re not allowed to play Stairway to Heaven, but if someone in DC happens to have some loudspeakers handy… and in case of trouble, remind the National Guard they won’t get paid for 30 days, just 29. They’ll know.
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.
I’m sure whats-her-face will let us know that there’s nothing wrong with the soon-to-be-late president. You infidels! #TrumpDeathwatch
In pictures and videos, 2 of the experts whose testimony helped shut down "Alligator Alcatraz" walk us through their beloved Big Cypress National Park. It's a fascinating look at a dynamic ecosystem: wapo.st/3JCCpoG (gift). 🌎
The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).
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?
🧊🚨✈️ CHILD TRAFFICKING⁉️ As a court hearing about a plan to imminently deport 600 unaccompanied minors to Guatemala gets underway, we can see at least three ICE Air planes headed south *right now* from El Paso, Dallas, and Alexandria LA 👀 Track them here: globe.adsbexchange.com?icao=a83f98,...

Soon to be late president seems to be deflating before our eyes. #TrumpDeathwatch
NYT - A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting dozens of Guatemalan minors and demanded assurances that they would remain in shelters until a more permanent ruling.
Sounds like Trump Deathwatch is full speed ahead. All aboard!
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:
Children in #Gaza are not walking to school. They are being forced to try to find somewhere safe. But there is nowhere. There are not enough tents. The intensified Israeli military operation is pushing thousands into the unknown. Let us bring in UNRWA’s shelter supplies. #CeasefireNow
You should speak with his lawyer, captain underpants. You can find him right beside the pierogi stand.

What a shitty asshole. It’s not even his fucking money but in his mind he’s the owner of USA Inc.
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
He should’ve retired after he scored that touchdown.
In Hobbit terms, this is what happens after you had breakfast, second breakfast and elevensies, it’s 11:02 and you ask mom when lunch is gonna be ready.
This is Rudy, after all, so not believing him is a good start.
Rudy Giuliani suffered severe injuries in a car accident last night, according to his spokesperson
It could be that whoever hit him was the same person that harmed the woman. No way to know from that statement.
Trump is an undesirable hellhole.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
