Perfect example of why media is fucked
Looking forward to Will Warren's eventual run for Congress.
I wonder how many former teammates he wants tackled, beaten up by ICE, and then deported to Salvadoran torture camps.
In the before times, there would be live congressional hearings on abuse of power, extortion and impeachment because of this statement.
"We pick up more litter by 6 a.m. than most DPW crews do all day."
You know who can't carry a gun in Washington, D.C.......?

She warned us. "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
Trump is threatening to send laborer Kilmer Garcia to a Ugandan death camp for being an immigrant, but has sent Ghislaine Maxwell to summer camp for running the most egregious child sex trafficking ring in U.S. history. Just to set a level for where things are now.
Even the squirrels run the bases better!

That it is NPR reporting this humiliating lapse by the Trump Administration is đ¨âđł

I'm just out here trying to live my life.
Brooklyn real estate magnate Erden Arkan was just sentenced to 1 year of probation for funneling straw donations to Eric Adamsâs 2021 mayoral campaign. His attorney angered Judge Ho after making a stink about prosecutors pursuing him and letting the mayor off the hook.
A Washington, D.C. jury will have an...interesting response to this if it goes to trial.
This is a style that I think I remember @owillis.bsky.social strongly advocating earlier this year. Seems to work!
Ghislaine Maxwell, serving 20 yrs for sex trafficking minors, has been given permission to leave minimum security campus for work assignments, per @muellershewrote.com www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
When William H. Seward bought Alaska from Russia - for $7.2 million! Talk about deals! - it was called "Russian America." Someone must really like the sound of that.
This headline is factually incorrect and must be corrected. Trump said, "I'm going to Russia." In fact, he said it twice. The story notes this several paragraphs down, but the headline is about what Trump *said* not what he *meant.* And it's wrong.
This will give him no other choice but to send the tanks into Georgetown.
The buildout of EV infrastructure - including manufacturing - began because Biden led the effort to create a broad, domestic supply chain. Trump's efforts to dismantle that, and halt the EV transition, is failing.

Engelmayer came right out and said it: âA member of the public, appreciating that the Maxwell grand jury materials do not contribute anything to public knowledge, might conclude that the Governmentâs motion for their unsealing was aimed not at âtransparencyâ but at diversion.â
WATCH: âAre you f*cking out of your mind?â @marcmaron wonât let @howiemandel downplay the impact comedians like Joe Rogan have had on stripping rights from trans people, immigrants, etc. with âhackâ bullying jokes that helped pave the way for Trump & the radical right takeover.
"I checked my Walmart app â 30 grocery items cost me $70.20 in Jan 2020. Today? The same cart costs me $165.42. Thatâs a 135.6% increase. We canât keep living like this. I canât be the only one." â Jennifer Harper Bowen
The fact that Vance is on Sunday shows having to talk about Epstein at all feels like pretty bad news for them
New GOP messaging: Prices are up, jobs are down but "it's for the good of the country." Vote Republican because suck it up, that's why.
"Earned."
He's going to run away with the vote in Staten Island.

Lawler is one of the more articulate Republicans in Congress and even he can't answer the most basic questions about the GOP's Medicaid cuts without sounding like he has marbles in his mouth.
"Campaigns" is a fun way to say "offering $1 billion in untraceable crypto."
If a novelist created him as a character, the book would get 1 star from everybody on Goodreads because he would not be believable.

Every EV in every driveway, in every parking stall in public, is an advertisement for EVs. People will want them, and will know they are going to have to pay more because of Republicans.

These are not "pro-cop" people. Never were. Never will be. "Less than five years after urging rioters to 'kill' police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration."
Gov. Hochul should appoint James special prosecutor and have her immediately subpoena the Epstein estate for all records, and then start calling every witness who has ever made an accusation against Trump related to Epstein or Miss Teen USA.
"We recognize history. We don't erase it." Says the guy who erased Jackie Robinson from the DoD's history.

I remember a time when âHitler concernsâ were kind of a deal breaker in terms of whether onboarding went forward.
That's the scandal.
If youâre wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi NoemâSouth Park already nailed it.
Bill Cassidy (R, Invertebrate) has a case of the sads about a well-known anti-vaxxer, science denier, and fraud whom Bill Cassidy voted to confirm as HHS Secretary. Itâs not âunfortunateâ, Bill Cassidy, itâs catastrophic, and itâs on you. Cassidy canât even bring himself to say Kennedyâs name.
Imagine for a second if Kamala did this as VP. She wouldâve been swiftly crucified.
They vapor locked.
I sent four emails that needed to be sent. Not major, but ethically important. Responding matches my goals for myself. And let me tell you, Iâve had coaching, therapy, and occasionally pharmaceuticals â sending emails never gets easier. If I donât work hard, five emails can derail me for months.
That hits.
Maxwell's proffer to Todd Blanche - whatever it was - is just a sliver of evidence of the Epstein operation. Everyone at the Vance meeting tonight will have an understanding of the full file with Trump references. They will know the evidence. This could be the most important night of Vance's life.
They've never needed JD Vance to workshop messaging strategy before. Why now? Barometers to keep an eye on: Loomer, Johnson, Don Jr.
The only President worse than Trump in 2016 is Trump in 2025. Congratulations Election Cicada Jill Steinâs cult, non-voters and protest voters who couldnât vote for Harris because peace in Palestine was so easy to achieve a Pedo King could do it.
Honestly? It wouldn't be surprising if the agenda for tonight was simply a planted story to appease Trump - while the parties involved actually discuss much more serious aspects of what's going on. This whole meeting seems a bit off.
Not the clown music dragging her mid-speech đ¤Ąđ¤Ł
Trump says he's donating his salary. Compared to how much his taxpayer-funded golf trips cost us, it's a rounding error.
His social media posts always end the same way as a restroom out-of-order notice.
It used to be hard to imagine the U.S. ever needing a "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" but here we are.
in all fairness, he probably hated you, alan
People are losing their jobs and watching Trump build a $200 million ballroom, sell crypto and disappear the parents of their kid's third-grade classmate. His approval is now 38 percent and the only question is why it's that high.
If it's anything other than, "You better get ready to take the oath, Mr. Vice President," this shouldn't be happening.
I'm not sure if BlueSky is shadow banning or not but the result of having no algorithm for many people is reduced engagement. The monster-large accounts won't notice it as much. Malicious block lists also play a role in reduced engagement. It's the trade-off for avoiding toxicity.

If a DOGE staffer got his ass kicked in DC thereâs less than zero percent chance it was because he was trying to defend a young woman from âabout a dozen young menâ lmao but this is some incredible fan fic
"Didn't read the tweet."
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.đ Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
"The indexes took a leg lower Tuesday after the ISM Services index flatlined in July, adding to stagflation concerns... Stagflation indicates a scenario of higher inflation and lower employment. Services makes up about 70% of the U.S. economy, so a slowdown in the sector could mean trouble ahead."
It's impossible to make it past the words "these people."
Say you want people to die without saying you want people to die.
"I thought he would only hurt the people I hate." An auto parts maker in Alabama is shutting down its plant and putting 82 employees out of work as a result of Trump's tariffs.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain peopleâHow much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
Somewhere, a Republican committeeman and tax collector-turned-state Supreme Court justice in Chenango County is filing his nails and raising his eyebrows. He waits for the state GOP chairman's phone call...

"The president usually has limited control over the economy, with downturns being caused by events beyond their control. In this case, however, Trumpâs policies are directly responsible for job losses, rising prices, wavering confidence, and a speedrun toward what looks like stagflation."

My first look at the news this morning.
They've covered Trump for 79 years. He has no other side.
When I say "stag," you say "flation." Stag... Flation.
The Rockies actually have a record of 130-0. Undefeated! It's just the corrupt scoreboard operator is an LA Dodgers fan.
The Colorado Rockies, one of the worst teams in baseball, only need to fire the person who is in charge of updating the scoreboard. Problem solved. It's so simple.

She had to get a waiver for her sex offender status to be moved there, too bsky.app/profile/muel...
The logical follow-up would be: "Who won the 2020 presidential election?"
It's a literal coverup.
"She is being moved again to an undisclosed location."
