They’re putting Grampa to bed early tonight…
The past 12 hours gave all of us a sense of just how huge the nationwide celebration will be when he finally does kick the bucket. 🎉🥳🎊
CHICAGO…
JUST IN: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order in response to the possible deployment of the National Guard. The "Protecting Chicago Initiative" order demands that Trump stand down from his threat to deploy National Guard.
THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT!!!
Y’all out here playing with my emotions like that.
We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House. This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries. They can’t win fair, so they cheat.
Sometimes, those who screw up things for everyone eventually screw themselves over given time. Texas fellas, it's hard to win the next race after shooting yourselves in the foot, just sayin.
Democrat Catelin Drey won the Iowa Senate special election against MAGA madman Christopher Prosch, flipping a Republican-held seat and breaking the GOP's supermajority
Compromise suggestion: The President can redesign the Cracker Barrel logo, and the Fed can set interest rates.
The latest diss track from Gavin Newsom! #GavinNewsom #ProudBlue
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
Hakim Jeffries should be VERY careful how he steps. Mamdani is GOING to be the next NYC mayor & could easily sponsor someone to primary Jeffries. I assure you, NYC is FAR more enamored of Mamdani than they are of Jeffries. There is clear confusion about who holds the real power at this time
Rep. Ro Khanna says there will be at least a dozen Jeffrey Epstein survivors who will have the floor at his September 3 joint press conference with Rep. Thomas Massie.
Six Republican-led states sending National Guard troops to D.C. under the guise of a fake crisis. Texas Republicans using police to impose a rigged map on Texans and steal an election. Congressional Republicans funneling taxpayer dollars into kidnappings and concentration camps. This is fascism.
Texas Dem Rep. Nicole Collier held hostage at Texas capitol by GOP
🚨 PLEASE SHARE 🚨 If you’re in Austin, there is a current call to show up at the Capitol building 1100 Congress Ave. - tonight 08/17 at 7:00pm. The Texas GOP is holding Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier hostage. She refused to sign a “permission slip” that would require a police escort!
🚨BREAKING🚨: Texas Democratic State Rep is LOCKED in the Capitol by the GOP. Rep. Collier is bravely refusing to sign away her freedom. She is fighting back in real time against this Republican power grab. www.meidasplus.com/p/texas-dem-...
Yeah, this is a highly unusual all-hands-on-deck meeting that wouldn’t be happening if Alaska was productive. 5 European leaders, the head of NATO and the head of the EU don’t just drop everything and fly to DC. H/T: @radiofreetom.bsky.social
Life comes at you fast
This represents Displays of Power As Weakness. An over-armed strike force sent to arrest a paralegal who threw a sandwich. Pathetic and deeply insecure.
The White House posted an insane video of the police arresting the sandwich guy in a safe and wealthy neighborhood.
So, to be clear: *Federal employment, which built much of the Black middle class—attacked & slashed *Cities with Black mayors—targeted *Black neighborhoods/communities—invaded *Affirmative action @ colleges—eliminated *Black history—demonized, erased, & written over They are re- segregating.
Exactly this 👇👇
All I can say is Newsom is meeting the moment. Someone said to me recently to remember not to let perfect get in the way of the good.
US army rolling the red carpet to murderer’s plane. I will never forget this image.
Quiznos? Cosi? Subway? Jimmy John's? Jersey Mike's? Any sub shop I visit from this day forward will be judged not only on the taste & value of its sandwiches, but their weight, velocity, & stability of their wrapping.
REALITY CHECK: The United States has a president that raped little girls, organized an insurrection, and hosted a War Criminal.
Since Texas said “ DEI is over “ go to Governor Abbott’s office and home and remove all wheelchair ramps. Whats good for the Goose is good for the Gander 🤘🏼
Thank a union member for the five-day workweek. Thank a union member for sick leave and paid family leave. Thank a union member for vacation time. When unions win, we all win.
I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, you’ll quickly find that people don’t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started. 📌 Protesters gathered near a checkpoint in the U Street corridor in Northwest Washington.
James Talarico: “Do you know how many Republicans joined Dems in Congress to ban gerrymandering? All the Democrats voted for it. Zero Republicans voted for it Spare me your both sides rhetoric.”
The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
Kind of a weird thing to announce while you’re attempting a federal takeover of DC
Ummm- Kentucky has a democratic governor but we have a super majority republicans in our state house and senate. Governor Beshear can’t do that. Not sure why you called him out.
There you have it.
Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
#FreeDC Downtown, Lexington, Kentucku
#FreeDC- downtown Lexington, Ky. 8-8:30 pm ✊
The people of America are bringing themselves together as a force for democracy again through these protests. Coast to coast,on all fronts. Very admirable. Of course, not noted by the legacy media. Not even mentioned, really.
Sunday Thought…RULES ARE Only for US, not for THEM😡🥸😡🙃
Fifty-one years ago today.
#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue #WeAreTheOcean
US Senator Tim Kaine is questioning why the US decided to lock the warehouse that was storing food for the starving children in Gaza
Gavin Newsom: “We will nullify what happens in Texas. We will pick up five seats with the consent of the people.” Time to fight fire with fire 🔥
When he suggests that America will experience another Great Depression if we continue to demand the Epstein files be released. You can literally smell the desperation in this post. #TrumpEpsteinFiles #PedoPresident ##ReleaseTheEpstienFiles
This is perfect.
Take the $$$$$ out of healthcare !!! and politics while you're at it #MedicareForAll
The people are sick of being lied to. We can’t afford NOT to do it. #MedicareForAll
When I pick up my allergy meds I now get a $400 check with them
Can’t tax tips that don’t exist

Next month’s job numbers are the street you grew up on and the last thing you ate.
* REUTERS POLL -- NEARLY 90% ECONOMISTS, 89 OF 100, SAY THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF OFFICIAL U.S. ECONOMIC DATA, INCLUDING 41 SAYING VERY CONCERNED @reuters.com
SHERO
Outstanding. I tip my hat to you sir.
Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison
Trump says the Epstein files is a good issue for him: My poll numbers are up 4.5 points since this ridiculous Epstein stuff. He’s gone and I want to focus on trade deals.
Another Sunday thought: I never met an atheist that wanted to deprive women of their rights.
Pay attention
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"
That's a great point by E. Jean Carroll - why not listen to the 27 women who have already come forward? #BelieveWomen
Our sources are telling us it is in fact marco rubio 🤔
🧵The explosive tapes recorded by Trump biographer Wolff show Epstein claiming Trump a serial cheat who liked to “f---” his friends’ wives. Epstein spoke at length about Trump w Wolff in August 2017, 2 years before his death. Wolff has up to 100 hrs of recordings. Some of sickening tidbits below.
Tulsi Gabbard is trying to gaslight you in the name of authoritarianism, points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
Not shocked. Not like he wasn’t impeached for that bj he got. If he’s on the list he should pay.
. The president of the United States is a rapist. Let’s start calling things exactly what they are. .
If yall don’t know about my governor- you should.
I see no lies.
My thoughts on the Washington Redskins...
A primer for the civically ill-informed.
More air for the rest of us.
🚨 NEW: The Writers Guild of America is demanding an investigation into CBS’s firing of Stephen Colbert—calling out what could be a politically motivated takedown of one of late night’s sharpest voices. Stand with truth. Stand with Colbert. Retweet to show you’re not backing down.
Once pedophile always a pedophile until they're locked up and Donald Trump was a pedophile Look at the faces on those little girls they know what's coming and they're scared shitless. This could be your little girls or granddaughters , little sisters don't you think they deserve the truth come out.
Fuck this fascist bullshit.
Pre-EPA in 1969 a torch dropped into the Rouge River in Detroit by a worker ignited oil pollution. Flames shot up 50 feet into the air. It took 65 men and 10 pieces of equipment to put out a fire ON THE RIVER. Unimaginable now. But hey let's gut the EPA, right? 🤦 www.fox2detroit.com/news/in-1969...
SENATOR TELLS AMERICANS ‘DON’T HANG AROUND ILLEGALS' TO AVOID DEPORTATION
As someone who’s entire family is full of maga- fuck no it’s not. They vote to hurt people. They can keep fucking off. And when they are finished fucking off? They can fuck off again.
It’s our mess to fix!
UC-AFT joins the call for the immediate release of Professor Jonathan Caravello, who was beaten and abducted by ICE on Thursday at a raid in Ventura County. @cfaunited.bsky.social
He’s right.
At a doctor’s office — with no warrants, masked, no ID 😳 What are we doing? 🇺🇸
The most important thing about Bannon and Elon fighting is that the Trump administration is covering up the Epstein files
