Trump fucked up the US Open with his sheer presence and the security issues, to take a nap. He's a beast.
What an ignorant racist.
Pirates attacking shipping routes could never have cut small oceangoing traffic by 80 percent. It took a mad king.
Now, at the Hampton Inn of Downers Grove Illinois where Homeland Security is staying.
French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz is withdrawn from U.S. Open men's final versus Yannik Sinner during possible raid clerical error; Trump will play for title in his place, says he's already up 6-0, 6-0, 5-0 over Sinner before match begins

You just suck at journalism.
1. This is a great example of how everything's gone off the rails at the NYT. Step 1: The U.S. president clearly threatens war against an American city - my idea of a huge story - and the Times grossly underplays it. The next day, they instead make the BS denial the emphasis of their story. Why?

You can always tell the media likes a particular guy and wants to help him when they run "THE COMEBACK KID?!" narrative
Former IDF 🇮🇱 soldier: “As time passed, another harsh truth emerged: Our own state had lost its way. If we went to war on Oct. 7 to save what was dearest to us, it soon became clear to me we were fighting because our leaders were never planning to stop.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
It is striking that while the U.S. admin plans to wage war on Chicago, the Mexico admin was working to retrieve a national sent by the U.S. to prison in South Sudan. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...
Why is trump showing his ugly face at the US open stadium? He’s trying to make people think that he’s a decent person when in fact he’s a criminal and pedophile.
Trump saunters into the US Open, waving amid a cacophony of cheers and boos, all while cozying up to Rolex despite slapping a 39% tariff on Swiss goods—hypocrisy's grand slam. #USOpen

Hard to say how this isn't willful murder at a population scale. Seniors with chronic respiratory conditions getting denied covid vaccines.
It's getting harder to shock America, but Trump managed this weekend with a crude, fiery threat to wage war on Chicago But a massive street protest Saturday, backed by a strong governor, shows Chicago isn't having it Did Trump pick the wrong fight? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
The White House claims that more jobs are going to native-born Americans: "Yeah, it's not happening. What's happening is actually a fairly simplistic misreading of how these statistics are compiled." -- Me, slinging some statistical truths.
Wow. New NBC poll finds 78% support vaccines, including 72% of independents and 67% of Republicans. As I keep trying to argue, Democrats should polarize the shit out of the vaccine/public health debate. Make people take sides. It will split Republicans and MAGA. See this:
My God.

Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. It's still the Department of Defense. Just like it's still the Gulf of Mexico. Just like the other place is still the Twitter. Just like he’s still in the Epstein files.
475 South Korean nationals taken into custody by Trump‘s immigration authorities because they had the audacity to be WORKING in a $7.6 billion plant that’s the biggest economic development project in the history of Georgia. If you’re South Korea, would YOU continue to invest in a place like this?
All of the U.S. military service academies are canceling lectures and ceremonies which feature speakers critical of President Trump. Dark times.
This. 👇👇👇 JB Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?”
Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.
As others have suggested, it would be a real shame if a NYC crowd started chanting "EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN" when players are changing sides.
happening now: hundreds of people are marching through downtown chicago to protest president donald trump’s deportation blitz and his threats to send in the national guard
Are you someone who has been or could be affected by imminent ICE raids in Chicago? Do you have friends, family members or neighbors who have been or could be? If you have information you can share, please reach out to @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social on Signal or WhatsApp at 872-444-0011.
Over the decades I have spoken at all of the service academies and War Colleges. They've all known I was "a critic" of many policies This is a really, really ominous development (AFAcad cancelling a speaker, in endowed-lecture series, because she has criticized Trump.) gazette.com/military/air...
More: Bill Pulte accused Fed Governor Lisa Cook of fraud. His relatives filed housing claims similar to hers www.reuters.com/world/us/bil... Democrats needs to be making a lot of noise about this! Corrupt Bill Pulte is abusing his power to target Democrats & using taxpayer money to do it.
Mamdani: We know that oligarchy has an impact right here in New York City. When Trump ushered through his so called 'Big Beautiful Bill,' he ushered through the greatest wealth transfer in American politics. That is the fight that unites us across this country in this moment
Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
The ICE raid at a Hyundai facility in Georgia looks like Hyundai relied on contractors who didn't fully understand U.S. visa rules. This happens all the time because our immigration system is a disaster. Trump weaponizes everything to attack vulnerable workers. He is a malignant tyrant.
"It's a new day, it's a new administration, and everything's going to come out to the public" Attorney General Pam Bondi, who oversees the Justice Department, to Sean Hannity, March 2025
The networks sent a confidential email - since leaked - that the cameras are not to show reactions to the orange jackass. So yes. Chant Epstein between points. Respecting this fascist is complicity.
If not for the deployment of the military, this would be the biggest story right now. Or at least it should be... "In recent weeks, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has doubled down on its sweeping bid to wrangle private voter data from states — including by threatening legal action."
U.S. Open #USOpen caves to fascism @benrothenberg.bsky.social reports www.benrothenberg.com/p/us-open-do...
EVERYONE IN THE BOSTON METRO REGION (YES THAT INCLUDES SOUTHERN NH): ALERT ALERT ALERT www.nytimes.com/2025/09/06/u...
Agree And not a single member of frightened GOP Senate/House has dared speak up (Hey J Barrasso, Georgetown BA/MD guy. Hey M Lee, you "care" about states' rights. Hey T Tillis /J Ernst, you're not running again. Hey S Collins, with your "concern." Hey R Paul, you're a big libertarian. Hey...)
The crowd has no beginning and no end as it begins its march to the White House
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Just Trump declaring war on a US city, a normal Saturday
Any minimally competent media outlet would be warning at maximum levels. Only complicity explains their inability to call this out, and to call it what it actually is.
They might as well list Christopher Rufo on the masthead.
I'll say again: This matters. For months NYT has been pushing "Harvard is about to cave" line. That line is 100% in MAGA's interest. Every other institution will think, "If not even Harvard can stand up, how could we." Today, NYT: Oh, I guess it's a disagreement WITHIN THE TRUMP TEAM.
Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.
🤣🤣
Yes that latest Epstein story is cray-cray but meanwhile Trump is destroying our economy: www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/b...
Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.
Tim Walz: "Where are the don't tread on me people? You are being tread on every single day. These folks are enriching themselves. The most successful thing he's done is grift off the American people."
Well, at least Trump still has the pedophile vote.
BREAKING: Hundreds of South Korean nationals detained in largest single-site immigration raid at a Hyundai facility in Georgia
Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
NYT beats a dead horse. Why won’t Harvard capitulate? Because they won in court. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/06/u...
This is incorrect: (1) Department of War was just the Army, not the Navy and Marine Corps; and (2) the President does not have the authority, only Congress can make that change in the law. Be better, @npr.org.
Exclusive: Bill Pulte accused Fed Governor Lisa Cook of fraud. His relatives filed housing claims similar to hers. Via Reuters
Maybe there were a bunch of bad people on that boat! To the degree that that’s relevant, I am not taking the fucking word of Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth on the character and nature of who was blown up. You’re gonna have to do better than that
Nice
What a sick f*
No one with any self-respect will show up there.
So they finally decided to just lean into the QAnon stuff.
this is a guy who went to the mat defending accused war criminals in iraq. lawlessness is his thing.
E.J. Antoni is unwell—he is apparently a disturbed, hateful, conspiracy-driven man. Not only is he an unqualified, partisan hack, but apparently, he has been a prolific promoter of vile, hate-filled screeds. This kind of revolting behavior should be a red line for all Senators.
NEW: Fox News reports that the government is now threatening to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Eswatini, a small country in southern Africa where the U.S. recently sent several migrants, some of whom remain imprisoned there.
just an ongoing embarrassment that this barely sentient meathead is secretary of defense
RFK Jr. said, “If vaccines are working for somebody, I’m not going to take them away.” Then, he did. RFK Jr. is a liar.
The DC US Attorney's Office has filed to dismiss assault charges against Christian Enrique Carías Torres, the moped driver arrested by Logan Circle
Women should not take Tylenol to relieve pain while they are pregnant. They should take heroin instead. by RFK Jr.
You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.

(1/X) I was listening to an interview with someone from Wire about how DOGE cuts have gutted the monitoring of invasive species (specifically ants) and how this could lead to various disasters. For a minute, I thought, well a disaster like that would hurt Trump, and then I realized that no...
it’s a real “oops all nazis” situation with every random person in this administration
It’s merely a flesh wound.
Oh yes. Math has a well known liberal bias.
The percentage of Americans who "strongly disapprove" of the job Trump is doing as POTUS is 2x as large as the % who "strongly approve" This is a pretty bearish signal for the GOP in this year's off-yr elections. & this is why he's trying to rebrand the OBBB www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-str...
NEW: Trump's nominee to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics ran an anonymous Twitter account filled with sexually degrading attacks on Kamala Harris, anti-gay slurs, and far-right conspiracy theories. www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/p...
Drop a like to add your thanks to the BLS staff who put together the jobs numbers. They've done so yet again this month, despite the arbitrary firing of their boss, uninformed social media insults, and the prospect of being led by an unqualified ideologue. Thank you BLS-ers!
this man got on national tv and told the president to come say it to his fucking face
That means selling way more burning cars that can’t drive themselves.
I already beat another guy who cut Medicaid, gave tax breaks to billionaires, and hounded multiple women who accused him of sexual harassment — might as well debate the one actually calling the shots.
"I was at the bottom of my class. I started doing heroin, and I went to the top of my class. Suddenly I could sit still and I could read." We’re not doctors but it kinda seem like this should’ve been disqualifying 🤷🏻♂️
Arsonist says there is no problem with house burning down.
We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.
Whether it's Democrats making it harder for kids to get cigarettes or Republicans making it harder for kids to get vaccines, both sides have imposed the will of government on America's children.
Trump DOJ is now looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns. Worth noting that the Nazis did the exact same thing to the Jews. Also worth noting they have no plans to ban right wing white supremacists from owning guns, even though they commit a vast majority of all mass shootings.
Accessios gonna Accessios.
The press should not report this illegal name change like this stenographer social media post from Axios.
How do you argue with a drug-addled narcissist who never sought enough therapy after his honorable father was assassinated?
Math, how does it work?
Maybe “some drivers” should find real jobs.
