Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
ICE detains green card holder—days after she passed citizenship exam. She was awaiting the official ceremony—when agents tricked her into coming in for appointment—only to arrest her. She and her husband have owned their Los Angeles balloon shop together for almost 20 years.
The damage that asshat did is incalculable
The researcher, Andrew Wakefield, who first proposed this had his medical license revoked for falsifying his data. Fraud. He then fled to America and now works for suspiciously well-funded anti-vaxx organizations. America...land of the free to cheat you and home of the grifters.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."

This is a layup because even in the shadow of the Covid protocol excesses, vaccination generally is still popular and most people understand keeping food safe and reducing treatable contagious disease to a minimum.
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Judge Sooknanan: "These children are going to be deplaned. They're going to be returned to ORR custody. And no attempts will be made to remove them from ORR custody and remove them to Guatemala, in light of my order, while these preliminary emergency proceedings are pending."

The short version: New Mexico announced that they'll be backfilling 100% of the lost *federal* ACA subsidies with *state* subsidies...but only for enrollees who earn up to 400% FPL. This is still a HUGE deal because 85% of NM #ACA enrollees earn less than 400% FPL.
🧵 Frederic Leighton (1830-96) was an English painter & sculptor who rose to the heights of society & who was considered a great artist by his contemporaries. His reputation has declined since then, but has rightly undergone re-evaluation in recent years. [1]

If you know anyone who works for a Pbm and has documentation supporting this , pls let me know
They need to keep kids in the pedophile pipeline
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
He is deserving of a takedown by a pierogi!
Alan Dershowitz has become a querulous, lawless buffoon and serial abuser of the legal system. This lawsuit was indefensible and a contemptible example of the sentiment “I am famous and important, you can’t disrespect me.”
This matters because the people leading these initiatives can/should be held accountable when rule-of-law is restored.
this doesn't seem great
I’m so grateful that I have tenure and the academic freedom to call it like I see it. “Dr. Kathleen Bachynski, a professor of public health at Muhlenberg College, described Kennedy’s comments as “absolute gibberish” and slammed the HHS secretary as a “dangerous buffoon” who is “threatening us all.”
On the way the Right has responded to the shooting in Minnesota (and all of them really)
He is an wealthy CEO who has been insulated from the fluctuations of prices due to his wealth. So he is lying
The extent to which these companies assume by default that they are unimpeachable and can do this stuff without any fear of meaningful consequences is reaching truly impressive heights. Here is a Meta product lead just casually creating a sex bot out of the likeness of the most famous singer alive
Embarrassment?? That’s the harm he is worried about inflicting on Americans
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...

Trump will be giving military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, the J6 insurrectionist who stormed the Capitol with a violent mob. He is also giving her family $5 million in taxpayer dollars. Fallen Capital Police officer Brian Sicknick, who lost his life trying to protect the Capitol, gets NOTHING!
BREAKING: Missouri governor orders redrawing of U.S. House map, expanding President Trump's push to tilt more seats toward Republicans in 2026.
NEW: Social Security’s chief data officer, Charles Borges, has resigned, three days after submitting a whistle-blower complaint that alleged members of DOGE had uploaded the confidential personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an insecure cloud server.
RFK Jr is most certainly a foremost authority on brain worms, heroin, gaslighting his late wife and bear heads.
Ashli Babbitt is an insurrectionist. She committed local and federal crimes. Donald Trump giving military funeral honors to her is an affront to everyone who ever served honorably in uniform. Moreover, this is also Trump is sending a full green light to his brown-shirted thugs.
Super important piece on how states can help fill the gaps created by RFK's anti-vax policies. We desperately need RFK out of the job, where he's doing immense damage to public health, but Dem Governors can take effective steps here if they want to. (So can R Governors! Not sure they'll want to.)

Of all the “honestly I never expected” things — Congress absolutely rolling over and abdicating its power to the White House — any White House — is one of the most shockingly unnecessary. It will not be remembered well in history, by either side, ironically. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
Fuck yeah
Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”
Quelle surprise
Actually, most of us who voted for Harris *do* know precisely what is going on. Trump is a bungling, corrupt moron and his economic actions are fucking us all. That's what's going on.
Delta Air Lines has agreed to pay $79 million to settle a lawsuit filed in 2020 after one of its airplanes experiencing engine trouble dumped fuel over schoolyards and densely populated neighborhoods east of Los Angeles.
Does anyone have any doubt that the next jobs report will reflect these losses?
Lisa Cook should also sue Lutnick for defamation
This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.

If Trump were operating in the best interests of America's businesses, his move to fire Lisa Cook would cause stocks to shrug, or maybe rise. But they're saying: This is dangerous. This move serves Trump, but not America. Our economy is at risk when the President undermines the Fed.
The mainstream media has absolutely failed the First Amendment that exists to protect them

Indeed. But in the end, few recall precisely the days January 30 (when Hitler became Chancellor), February 27 (Reichstag fire), March 22 (Dachau opened), March 23 (Enabling Act passed)—they just remember 1933. Likewise, everyone will remember 2025.
I don’t want to hear a single word about Democrats and socialism ever again. EVER.
Ironically, **FOTUS didn't reference one of Christie's most infamous cases: he successfully prosecuted Jared Kushner's dad for numerous offenses. **FOTUS pardoned Kushner in 12/20. In 5/25, Kushner was confirmed as Ambassador to France. Then came this: apnews.com/article/char...

You know why GOP is scrambling like 👇🏻? They finally realized that if they got their way, it will actually kneecap THEIR party in the midterms. They got what they wanted & now are stuck dealing w the reality THEY created: Banning mail-in ballots craters elderly & rural voter turnout. #Meritocracy
"Repeated exposure to heatwaves is comparable with smoking, alcohol use, poor diet or limited exercise on health. Extreme temperatures owing to climate change, potentially causing widespread & long-lasting damage to the health of billions, the scientists warned." www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Thank YOU!!
Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Pritzker gets it.
Trump is trying to hide the back of his right hand from cameras but here you can see the nasty bruising on it
MAGA : Trump isnt sick, they would tell us about it if he was... Me : really?
This is 100% correct.
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮
Let’s talk about the financial trail of the decades long criminal enterprise
I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.
