Trump to announce that he’s been reading what everyone is saying and it kind of hurts his feelings.
I am wishing for this very thing
By executive order
Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
Joke: good Alt text: superb
Ideally, your proof of life photo ops don’t come off as proof of sick.
the cops have arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania but somebody heard if the dope isn't actually in the room with you they can't prove possession
I’m not going to believe that Trump actually said what someone says he said until I hear it come out of his fetid anus mouth.
Blueskyism is practiced by Blueskyites and we have Blueskyrites.
Good lord
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Vance doesn’t have the juice that Trump has. Beyond that, if you think about the 2015 GOP primaries overlayed with feuds like Boebert vs MTG but with scores of MAGA elected reps, podcasters, wacky conspiracy theorists and coke addled offspring all vying for the crown. Very messy.
He didn’t fire her. He’s trying to illegally fire her. Big difference
My favorite unhinged conspiracy is that it’s Jon Voight
Out on the town with my friends in DC, very much alive enjoying the lack of crime. They're all just out of frame, enjoying the lack of crime too
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social you up?
Perhaps the “This is the only statement authorized by Mayor Giuliani” weirdness was pre-butting the eventual statement of the guy who was driving Rudy around in his Bronco?
I like how Bluesky finds joy in the little things, like Trump’s possible death or Rudy suffering a fractured vertebrae in a car accident.
We’re going to need to hear the tape of the 911 call, if it exists
My “This is the only statement authorized by Mayor Giuliani.” T-shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by the shirt

You would hate to think that Trump’s people were hiding serious health issues or the incapacitation of the President, but they’re making it pretty hard not to.
Are the cars okay?
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.
Same.
I wrote “I’m Alive!” on a sheet of paper and made copies so you better be nice to photocopiers.
Glenn Donaldson of The Reds, Pinks and Purples wrote a song about it theredspinksandpurples.bandcamp.com/track/your-w...
“Ungrateful” is the new “uppity”
Michael Porter Jr. of the Porter Crime Family
i tried to imagine a wnba athlete as boastfully, indulgently, and wholly fucking dumb as michael porter jr
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
It would be incredibly easy to put these rumors to rest. All he’d have to do is go to a press gaggle and have them shout questions while he returns accordion hands propaganda. But they don’t because he couldn’t do that without revealing whatever is wrong.

Hang on. They should meet as a group to discuss the best way to intervene. Perhaps a focus group and some practice on one of those CPR dummies before doing anything?
nothing like a saturday of labor day weekend newsdump, but no time like the present: I wrote a book, and it’s available for pre-purchase! linktr.ee/artbutmakeit...
He’s already gameplanned how to respond to the ones he made up before he tells us about them.
In the 24 elections, more votes were cast for Trump in Los Angeles County than in the entire state of Mississippi.

Doing unstaffed jobs that used to be staffed while wearing high visibility vests over camouflage that was intended to reduce visibility.
It was so fun. Sorry you missed it
Potty dance?
It’s the steak burrito version of gas station sushi
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
These two new songs by @spoontheband.bsky.social are very, very good open.spotify.com/album/1UIpyt...
Part of what frustrates me greatly right now is the idea that a better world is possible — and other countries are getting there! — and the US is increasingly just choosing not to be better.
“He’s very strongly shuffling to the limousine with the help of five people with almost no drool on his chin”
You can be sure if any of these circumstances surrounded a Democrat they would be doing that
The best they could come up with for “proof of life” are these photos where he’s looking weak, slumping, mouth agape and appearing lost.
I was hoping for Swan Lake
We’re manifesting
We’re just “manifesting”
Whenever he does croak there are going to be so many stupid conspiracy theories. He was murdered by the woke deep state! He faked his death to escape imminent accountability! He’s been dead for months! Melania must be heartbroken!
Live your life such that millions of people aren’t continuously refreshing their social media feeds hoping to be one of the first to learn of your death.
So what things are we looking for as the first sign that the cankles were victorious? What are Vance’s vacation plans this weekend? Maybe if we see those plans change…
They aren’t even bothering with the “many meetings and many phone calls” foolishness.
We’re slipping so fast towards the old Soviet Union I half expect Fox News to report that Trump has a cold for a couple of days before they go dark and play Swan Lake on a loop.
like I get that it is reasonable to be initially skeptical that someone is actually evil and insane enough to want to bring back a huge number of wholly preventable infectious diseases in order to cleanse the population of the genetically weak but he’s actually doing it now so it’s time to wake up
Republicans have decided that their political careers are so important that the gruesome deaths of children are a small price to pay.
If this oleaginous haircut thinks local crime rates merit a federal military intervention, then he should be leading the armored column down to his home state of Louisiana, which is one of the worst in the nation.
Schumer, Jeffries propose strongly-worded letter to counter RFK Jr.'s purge at the CDC.

Dean Norris should play him in the biopic
“A standing National Guard quick reaction force … available for rapid nationwide deployment” – Look: This is exactly what it sounds like, it’s exactly as dangerous as it sounds, and no one should waste another second listening to people committed to finding ways of obscuring that.
House Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. Let Republicans defend his lunacy.
Can’t wait for Leftist Shark Week!
This must be one of those Ai hallucinations that I’ve been hearing about.
House Democrats could force a vote on impeaching RFK any time they want. Of course it would fail. But do you want to make an issue of it or not?
Of course you only have to cover your face when you’re kidnapping someone.
The military dresses soldiers in camouflage to reduce their visibility and workers wear reflective vests to increase visibility. That these guys are wearing both feels like some sort of metaphor.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize trans people has completely lost touch with the common humanity."
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
Two innocent children are dead and the far right are racing to use it as pretext to further eradicate trans people. This mass shooting had nothing to do with the shooter being trans and everything to do with them being radicalized online by a nihilistic murder cult that worships mass shooters.
Republicans keep telling us not to "politicize" these shootings, but that's only because they understand that these shootings were entirely motivated by the political arguments they themselves have been making and entirely facilitated by the political campaign against gun control that they have led.
As @tomtomorrow.bsky.social said, he beat the wrap
So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap
I agree: simple theft shouldn’t be a priority for prosecution, but this was more than simple theft. Being in your home and deceiving you in order to steal from you is more akin to larceny or fraud.
It’s okay to be happy for two people who have found love.
When we are in the other side of this and these companies want their Trump Tithe back we should only return it to them in exchange for paying their workers a living wage, environmental protections and increased workplace safety
I’d be seated on the groom’s side
I hope I get invited to the wedding
I think it’s a sign of the times that two young people, in love, could provoke so much cynicism by announcing their marriage. It’s okay to be happy for people who have found love.
Ok doomer
I’m taking the fact that this leaked as a hopeful indication that it is falling on, at least, some deaf ears.
Trump didn’t fire her. She remains at her post. What he’s trying to do is illegally remove her from her position. There’s a difference and describing it accurately is important.
Just because Trump personally believes that he embodies the spirit of the American volk and that any opposition to his whims is un-American and illegitimate on an almost spiritual level does not mean, contrary to popular opinion, that Democrats should act like they agree.
This reminds me of the “they didn’t die from covid they died with covid” nonsense.
Hard to convince younger generations, but for decades, Republicans went on and on about how two of the worst things imaginable were (1) state intervention in the market and (2) DC using federal troops against US states; both so bad the people should be ready for armed rebellion in case it happens.
Statement from Fed Gov Lisa Cook: “President Trump purported to fire me “for cause” when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Since this all began, I've started carrying a first aid kit because I've seen people get that roughed up. I'm always terrified my phone is going to die while I'm out. The streets get more and more eerily empty every day. I carry a paper list of emergency phone numbers. It wasn't like that before.
