Netflix co-founder and Democratic megadonor Reed Hastings has given $2 million to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaignโs outsize stakes.
"No one in the administration โ the president or anybody under him โ has called anyone in my administration or me โ have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this โ well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Graham Platner, an oyster farmer from Maine, announced a bid for the seat of incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins. His goal? To โclaw back wealth that was created by the labor and the consumption of working class Americans who have not shared in the riches they helped build.โ
The legislative branch didn't do their job; the judicial branch is struggling esp with the Supreme Court compromised. The 4th estate is corrupted and owned by the oligarchs.
WE'RE ABOUT TO PUT A MEMECOIN OUT ๐
While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E

Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they wonโt.
Our tax dollars AND our reputation.
Trump is again threatening Chicago with a takeover on social media. We will again say those who trade liberty for the illusion of temporary safety deserve neither. We are not, and will not become, a military state. Remember freedom is something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you!
None of the โtrustedโ media or commentators are even telling the truth. Theyโre going along with the idea this is still a democracy. Theyโre saying things like weโre โon a pathway toward dictatorshipโ or something โsounds like authoritarianismโ. WRONG. It IS a dictatorship. It IS authoritarianism.
As have Trump and Melania
She is a piece of shit
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

Having just read @hcrichardson.bsky.social today, itโs fully affirmed we are no longer living in democracy. Our most basic protections are completely gone in less than 8 months. I grieve the loss of this nation. A new world order has begun and the PEOPLE on this land are no longer safe. Not at all.
Or maybe "in" the golf course?
โ.. Kennedy was acting bizarre, saying he can tell as he walks past children if they are dealing with โmitochondrial challengesโ .. Can he mysteriously divine illnesses just by looking? โOur health secretary is a certified quack.โ @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
No difference.
Portugalโs President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa: Trump is "objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset. He functions as an asset." In March, British Conservative Party MP Graham Stuart raised that Trump had been groomed by the Kremlinโs security services over a period of decades.
that Irish woman is braver and more honorable than entire governments. She stood with us. She raised her voice when the world stayed silent. And what did she get in return? Beaten. Silenced. Attacked.
A federal judge just ordered Florida to shut down โAlligator Alcatrazโ โ a detention camp that cost $218M to build and now sits empty. Closing it will cost taxpayers another $20M. Cruel. Wasteful. Shameful.
Oh manโฆ this is hysterical. Canada is giving Gavin Newsom a free plane? ๐๐ ๐คฃ

โTrump hasnโt been seen in three days raising fresh questions about Bidenโs healthโ - NYT Pitchbot
The national guard is Not, never has been or will be on par with any law enforcement professional. Duties for Guard. Once monthly drills. Once yearly 2 weeks training. Thatโs it. Itโs not fair to them and frankly dangerous to arm them and deploy them in a law enforcement capacity.
This is patently false! Trump can't ski. Nor can he ride a bike
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
TIME TO DO SOMETHING, PEOPLE! FIND YOUR BRAVE... RESIST...REBEL!
This is the outcome of a criminal in the White House and a prehistoric ELECTORAL COLLEGE format....
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can โsee in kids faces that they have inflammationโ Thatโs NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
As a USAF retiree I am ashamed
Saying you need an AR-15 to hunt is like saying you need dynamite to fish. Stop the nonsense.
Things are going to shit - and here's why that's good for the market
He has no idea what is talking about regardless of the topic
As a veteran I think you're wrong
Chief Justice Roberts says the rule of law is eroding like we've rarely seen. Maybe he should've thought of that before ruling the president is above the law. You don't get to burn the house down and act shocked it's on fire.
It's possible ... hear me out, here โฆ. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
Landlords say they canโt afford a rent freeze, but have $2.5M to give to Cuomo. Reminds me of corporations that spend millions to bust unions instead of just raising wages and offering benefits. Doing the right thing is always cheaper than the cost to block it.
This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!.....
It's better for us all the more they are kept away from their "work"
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): โIf there are any adults left in the White House, itโs well past time they face realityโฆ We cannot let RFK Jr. burn whatโs left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the groundโhe must be fired.โ
Itโs continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
Trumpโs D.C. occupation: $1.1M per day Housing every homeless person in D.C.: $169K per day This isnโt about what America can afford. Itโs about what America chooses to value.
Concert outside the White House! #cdnpoli
Good reporting. "seeking to fire..."
No he doesn't. He attempts to illegally remove .....
Do not obey in advance
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape peopleโs reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Protesters are flooding DC streets to demand two things: that the National Guard be recalled and that the Epstein files be released. We stand with you, DC!
Always was - always will be
Do you think most people, especially those who signed up for the Guard, have attorneys to consult with?
Mmmm yakitori. Last time I had it was years ago in Guam!
Sounds like socialism
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book โ one by one โ and choke on the lesson theyโre trying to erase. ๐๐ฅ #BannedBooks #AnneFrank
Does he not remember Trump went to court over the census and lost trying to add a citizenship question?
I know that's true because I'm one of them. We fought for freedom, equality, and diversity already. I'm kind of pissed we have to do it again, but I'm ready.

Good god man!
It isnโt normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
last exit before toll....
I like what Newsom is doing. I like what Pritzker is doing. I like what Mamdani is doing. We need all hands on deck NOW. We can worry about the presidential race LATER. Once we secure its relevance.
@rokhanna.bsky.social: โOnly 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.โ khanna.house.gov/media/press-...

Ya think?
The plan was always martial law. To crush opposition, bypass every safeguard, and rule unchecked. DC showed the blueprint. Blue states and cities are next. Democracy is on life support.
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.
They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Donโt get lost in the circus.
You don't have to be former FBI guy to know that
The DOJ cut Epsteinโs jail video into pieces to remove what they didnโt want us to see. They did the same with the Maxwell/Blanche transcript. This isnโt transparency โ itโs a cover-up.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they donโt get a serious seat at the table to decide how theyโre governed. D.C. statehood now.
This is so importantโฆ Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and sheโs finding they donโt match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tacticsโjust like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov ๐งต
