All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.
Republicans control the House by a 7-seat margin, but that's with four vacant seats. Does Trump really want to "take out" Massie? And the three other GOP representatives who joined him? Seems like he's playing with fire. So, yeah: What exactly is in those files?
@governor.ny.gov let’s go. We can get in on this.
You are looking at the possible future of the Divided States of America.
If you have "a great governor who wants us to come in," why isn't that governor just ... calling out his own National Guard?
When you go to a doctor’s office, they ask if you have Covid symptoms or if you’ve travelled out of the country in the last three months. Now they’ll add “have you travelled to Florida?” Good job 🙄
It’s hard to contain the measles. It’s going to skyrocket all over the us because of this monster.
Imagine having a newborn now? These poor babies.
I’m no political strategist, but I wouldn’t generalize what works in NYC.
I was assured this mfer had some kind of health emergency…. 😒
After she graduated, she was an activist with a full time day job working for a non profit, then the Sanders campaign. She made extra money working a second job as a bartender on the side. To describe her as blue collar ignores her education and primary job, in favor of a pt side hustle she had.
A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
She was literally campaigning for office. Her bartending was a secondary job.
Come on. Sounds like masquerading. Bartending allowed her to make good money at off hours while she campaigned for office. She might relate to blue collar workers but it’s insulting that with her ambition and education, we don’t graduate her.
It really bothers me that right wing people diminish her as though she was just some bartender with no education or experience. She is and was a highly educated professional.
AOC was never a “blue collar bartender.” She came from a blue collar family but she was an intel scholar, graduated magna cum laude from BU. She was just working as a bartender to pay her bills while she advanced her career.
People keep using “no notes” wrong and it’s making me nuts.
Omg
This is a United States senator, on his official government account, publicly saying full white nationalism & great replacement theory is central to the country’s identity & the GOP platform. Also: explicitly opposing Lincoln’s message in Gettysburg Address (reference to “proposition”)
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?"
Trump made $3.4 billion while in office. Thou shalt not pretend he took a pay cut for the people.
Rep. Stansbury: “What we heard today is a cover-up. A cover-up potentially involving foreign countries and foreign actors. As you will find out in coming days and weeks, this goes all the way to the top. Because there’s happen to be a very powerful person who doesn’t want these stories out.”
Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.
Three years ago this week: "The media treatment of Biden’s foreign policy is significant and ultimately dangerous. If there is no constituency for the most anti-war president since 2001 (and likely since Jimmy Carter), it is unlikely that future presidents will choose to walk this path."
BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
Pritzker: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Watch this while you are waiting for the 2 pm presser from the oval office www.youtube.com/live/vDqh8k3...
Your reminders: Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering. Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch. This is just another Trump family scam.
"I don’t know if Donald Trump has a personal health problem. But I’m confident he has a political health care problem...Republicans have handed Democrats a powerful agenda: Undo the Medicaid cuts. Keep the health insurance tax credits. Provide vaccines." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
None. I don’t engage idiots who have no idea how to build a coalition. I’m an avid blocker. Bye! 😘
From today’s @bostonglobe.com. I’ll link the full article below, but for those who hit a paywall… “Velchik — who holds two degrees from Harvard, one from the college and one from the law school — was the sole lawyer arguing the case for the White House in July.” You really can’t make this up.
BERLATSKY:“What’s really notable, though, is extent to which Republican senators and leaders have remained largely supine even in face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even member of the party a year ago.” www.publicnotice.co/p/rfk-jr-pub...?
In the cheap fun category: Trump posted this morning that he had raised $8 trillion, or $65,000 per household, from import taxes (tariffs) so far this year. Every Republican in Congress can be asked if they agree with Trump's numbers.
Agree. Though I agree with their politics, I cannot stand their company. Completely insufferable, privileged babies.
Hedge fund billionaire Ray Dalio has warned Donald Trump’s America is drifting into 1930s-style autocratic politics — and said other investors are too scared of the president to speak up on.ft.com/46g7Iyd
What few people realize is that Trump’s a complete idiot
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

In 7 months, Trump has taken the world's most powerful nation and turned it into a train wreck, inviting both our allies and our adversaries to reshape the world based on our irrelevance.
I don’t want beef tallow French fries, yuk. I don’t want it on my face either. Let steak be the steak.
Sign up for Trump's forces and reap the benefits of impunity. You can be as violent and thuggish as you like and face no consequences for it. You may get a bonus. www.thehandbasket.co/p/parks-offi...
@governor.ny.gov
This is going to present a bit of a problem, when you run out of lawyers to do "your bidding." Gotta be a fun time to be in the White House. Sure wish I had a hiddlen camera in there...
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
@radiofreetom.bsky.social explained it better than anyone; this is from a thread he posted after the 2024 election. For us, it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character. ⬇️
These people are in a cult and live inside a batshit alternate reality and are trying to get as many Americans as possible to join them inside it.
I read the article. This industry should get what it deserves. The soybean industry spokesperson blames everything but the Trump traffics for what’s going on. Get your heads straight, farmers!!!!
CHICAGO…
How can they not be learning from the US?! Don’t do it!!!!
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
I’m happy to travel to NJ but Hochul has been on the ball. Can you believe this is where we are though?! Insane. NY aligned itself with the cdc thinking it was the best in class medical. Wthf.
german universities were once at the forefront of science before the nazis destroyed them to eliminate the "jew science" that would lead to the atomic bomb; the nazis eugenic beliefs were based in several ways on weird, occult, medieval beliefs fascism rhymes and adapts. america's is not unique
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
I’m a New Yorker. They will. It sucks though because it takes a minute to get your bearings. Who could have predicted this?’ I want my booster by 11/1 like usual so I can coast through the holidays
Trump did this
???? I meant buying and administering the vaccines. But NY does apparently have a constitutional thing where we follow cdc guidelines. Seemed ok, who ever would have guessed this CDC mess? It’s an easily solved problem though. Emergency session to change the law.
Yikes, JD Vance better hope JD Vance doesn’t hear about this!
signed a letter challenging the leadership of Administrator Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump. We shared their letter of dissent about a week ago.
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
“Conceived of” “extended more than 25 yards…”. He did not write that.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Charles Borges, the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration, resigned Friday — days after filing a whistleblower complaint alleging DOGE employees had uploaded a copy of the entire country's Social Security information to a "vulnerable cloud environment”
Hope NY gets in on this action.
“I think Trump is taking the view that basically all legal process is illegitimate.” @gtconway.bsky.social on President Trump’s federal crackdown on Democratic-led cities as the Trump administration plans a surge in immigration enforcement in Chicago next week.
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
Trump wasn't seen yesterday by the White House press pool. He wasn't seen today. He has no public events scheduled this weekend. Trump hasn't been seen in public since Weds, and it's unclear if he'll be seen in public until Tues. That's pretty damn weird.
“We have to build up an apparatus to shield us from the recklessness of Robert F. Kennedy,” a senior Illinois health official in Gov Pritzker's administration tells me in this piece.
Thank you for explaining!
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Wow, another GOP Senator disappearing by not running. Another potential opening for DEMs to take the Senate in 2026.
🔥 @airborne1970.bsky.social : “When you get rid of SNAP benefits— what’s a poor family gonna do? The middle class has carried this country since Reagan said ‘trickle-down economics’. Time for the billionaires to carry this country. That’s how 🇺🇸 will get great. But not under this regime.”
This is beyond serious. It's going to be a very sick America in the not too distant future.
Broken record with this, but it's what these brainwashed zombies are doing.
In any other era, Congress would have opened an investigation into this. The corruption that we are witnessing is staggering. This is Ben Ali’s level of corruption and abuse of power.
On the new acting CDC director. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I don’t follow. Sorry. The list you provided is a list of things that make one higher risk. That is not the same as the 2025 list of conditions that will qualify you for a vaccine. Where does it say that ADHD etc is covered? I don’t trust this admin with basic common sense.
Every Republican senator voted to confirm RFK Jr. as health secretary except for Mitch McConnell, who is retiring and thus was under no re-election pressure. The entire Republican Party has embraced anti-vax policies. It is pro-polio, pro-measles, pro-Covid. It's a death cult.
CVS is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states, including Florida, New York and Pennsylvania, even to people who meet newly restricted criteria from the FDA. CVS said it needed a CDC panel to recommend the shots before it could offer them nationwide.
Stacey Abrams and I sound the alarm - the time to act to stop autocracy is now. time.com/7312340/stop...
Just kind of wondering if there wasn’t a very willing labor force eager to do that work much cheaper? Never mind. 😐
She was a criminal and now they are giving her the honors of an American hero at the same time that the Republicans in the House refuse to hang a plaque honoring the hundreds of Capitol Police that defended them. Just disgusting. thehill.com/policy/defen...
Qualifying for the vaccine? It doesn’t say specifically that….
In other words: a full on crook moron is a maga election official. Jfc.
lol it’s makes him incredibly stupid. The girls didn’t even ingest the drugs. You actually have to have damages to sue. What would he claim as damages? He said he found them before the girls ate them. This would be a criminal prosecution, if his story was true.
I guess his goal was to sue and win some settlement?
