Trump and his greedhead cronies may get a big surprise in spite of their efforts to rig the 2026 election. They could find themselves swamped by a blue wave. Americans are wising up to the fact that Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare.
France preparing for war with Russia, has ordered doctors and hospitals to ready themselves for an influx of wounded and casualties, they have only until May 2026 to get ready, must be able to treat hundreds if not thousands per day. Also urges citizens prepare emergency survival kits.
white houses only do this when they're very distressed
Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.
They’re back harassing us.
#OpenYourMouth
Thanks, President Joe Biden! A Labor Day message from a real president...
I agree, no one could stop him.
Or both …
He looks positively geriatric. You can almost hear Vance panting at the thought of a new couch in the Oval.

Pope Leo XIV on Sunday called for an end to the “pandemic of arms, large and small,” as he prayed publicly for the victims of a shooting during a Catholic school Mass in the United States.

There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
🔵 So tragic 😭💔 Vote Blue 🗳
😆
🔴 Need a laugh , today ? 🤭🤣🙃🤭 #Dogsky #Dogs 🐥
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Sparkle Sooknanan holds an emergency hearing as the Trump admin is reportedly trying—imminently—to deport hundreds of Guatemalan children without required process or access to representation. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71240...
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
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
lol wow, that’s quite the drop
Go Canada! 👍 #cdnpoli Company behind Jack Daniel's says Canadian boycott is 'significant' as sales drop 62% Parent company officials say trade dispute is causing 'significant headwinds' and 'significant impact' www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
During a phone call, Donald Trump hinted to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he should nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, as Pakistan had done. Modi sharply rejected the idea, stating that the ceasefire with Islamabad was achieved without U.S. involvement.
Yay! I left the house… had to get to #TeslaTakedownDinerEdition #TeslaTakedown in HOLLYWOOD. Fuck this Nazi @teslatakedown.com @teslatakedownla.bsky.social @elonthecon.bsky.social @teslatdcentinela.bsky.social @tacomentarian.bsky.social
Think Like Blue…. Fighting for their people!
We need this to be a major rallying cry! #FireRFK "The senator warned that Kennedy’s next target may be the childhood immunization schedule, which involves a list of recommended vaccines for children to protect them from diseases including measles, chickenpox and polio."
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
30 August 1905 | A Polish woman, Wanda Moraczewska, was born in Winniki. A teacher. In #Auschwitz from 13 October 1942. No. 22537 She perished in the camp on 1 December 1942.
30 August 1874 | Italian Jew, Alberto Della Seta, was born in Rome. He was deported to #Auschwitz from Rome on 23 August 1943. He was murdered in a gas chamber after the arrival selection.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trump’s troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. That’s not politics...that’s spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.🔥
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
“Bourdain freely acknowledged that part of the reason he continued to work at such a frantic pace might have been a fear about where his mind might go if he ever sat still,” Patrick Radden Keefe wrote, in 2018.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
We are failing our children.
Kyiv Polytechnic Institute looks as majestic as ever. But today its flag flies at half-mast, mourning the innocent victims of the latest russian air attack which claimed 25 lives, four of them were children.
And here’s an ACTUAL NY Times headline from 1924.

Beavers pause while chewing trees to listen for movements so that the tree doesn't fall on them.
If the "Mad King" is dead... can we make it, like a viking funeral, where all his evil minions, have to be buried with him.. 😏
On Donald Trump's march towards authoritarianism. Latest column www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
“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 😳
I just saw this. Wishful thinking maybe lol.
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.
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
At the very least it’s fun to think of this as a sort of tailgate party before the big event
I just appreciate that Trump is such a pressoholic that not being in front of a camera for 24 hours stirs up death rumors.
😡TERRIBLE! Pro tennis player attempts to give a hat to a child at the US Open. An adult steps in and vultures it. Who does this? Should there be any punishment?
We are so fucked.
The history of Germany’s Weimar Republic serves as “a reminder that democracy often erodes slowly at first, via the gradual surrender of those entrusted to defend it.”
Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social. Another school shooting...
I’m sure Trump thought Canadians would give in & let the U.S. steamroll over us. Not in his wildest dreams. This may get tougher but Canada has weathered worse (WWI, the Great Depression, WWII). Canada will most certainly survive & eventually thrive.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
This argument is an Absolute Cinema... 👀😅🤣 #cat #catday #bluesky #animals
This is painful to watch. Felon Trump has the National Guard picking up trash in D.C. Because there isn’t enough crime to keep them busy?
Partners at the UK firm “are really embarrassed by this . . . they definitely didn’t want to do it” So, like, don't? www.ft.com/content/fad5...
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
RFK Jr claims that windmills are "wiping out the whale population" in the Atlantic
Even the North Korea pink lady is like "that's a little much -- maybe pump the brakes a bit."
Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."
Witkoff: "There's only one thing I wish for: that that Nobel committee finally gets its act together and realizes that you are the single finest candidate since that Nobel award was ever talked about."
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
Dear America, we call Trump a lot of things but “president of Europe” definitely isn’t one. Good luck, Europe.
Trump: "They call me the president of Europe. Which is an honor."
Aside from anything else, it is a national emergency that the president of the United States has lost his mind.
My law firm is currently litigating 52 voting and election cases in 23 states. This includes the Ohio case we filed on Friday night and the redistricting case challenging Texas' new congressional map. I am thankful for our clients willing to wage these fights. They, not the lawyers, are the heroes.
24 August 1903 | A Polish Jewish woman, Izabela Kaczmarek, was born in Bratislava. She lived in Bydgoszcz. In August 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz from #Litzmannstadt ghetto. She did not survive.
