Take several seats, JD.

This week brought wins on all fronts: Catelin Drey flipped a Trump district in Iowa and broke the GOP’s supermajority in the state senate. A federal judge protected Kilmar Abrego Garcia from deportation. And yes, even ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is about to be empty. Not bad for one week.

Trump putting an election denier in charge of elections is like hiring a bank robber to guard the vault. We see you, Donnie.

Just another week of Trump 2.0 chaos: upheaval at the CDC, an attempted ouster of a Federal Reserve governor, and another attempt to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia blocked. Check out this breakdown of the week's top stories: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/august-29-...

Dr. Daskalakis didn’t quit public health—he quit Trump’s public hell. Enough really is enough.

But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls aren’t going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense won’t stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.

All Donald has is lies, projection and threats. West Coast friends, stay strong! And remember to cash your violent protest checks!

When Trump claims he can ‘do anything’ as president, he wants us to take him at his word. And unfortunately, many do. But the reality tells another story: he is largely a paper tiger whose power is checked by four distinct forces out of his control.

We know a Swiftie when we see one ❤️

Troll level: Master.
George Takei (@georgetakei.bsky.social)
He also said, “I can do anything I want, I’m the president of the United States.” The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.

Thank you, Marc!

We are the only developed country where mass shootings happen on a regular basis. It doesn’t have to be this way.

It’s not often that I have unquestionably good news to share these days in our politics. But the Iowa special election results are amazing! And yes, I see them as a sign of something big afoot, with some important takeaways to consider. My happy write-up in the replies!
George Takei (@georgetakei.bsky.social)
Sure, Jan.

There’s something afoot in Iowa! Second flip of a GOP state seat there this year. Well done!
George Takei (@georgetakei.bsky.social)
Trump claims his power has no limits, but then why does he always chicken out when it comes to following through on his threats? And ICYMI: why are we hearing so little pushback from conservatives when Trump's second term is fulfilling all the worst fears they've been ranting about for decades?

Trump has moved to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook, causing shockwaves in the markets. I explain what’s behind his long quest to bend the Federal Reserve to his will, why he’s targeting Cook in this latest attack, and why he faces legal headwinds. My write-up in the replies.
