Why are you trying to rile me up at the end of my day Wil I have to sleep
Why are you trying to rile me up at the end of my day Wil I have to sleep
Trump illegally killing drug dealers, illegally unleashing the national guard and military against citizens, illegally detaining and kidnapping immigrants, threatening to end mail-in voting, and urging gerrymandering. Folks, what would you call these actions if another leader did them?
Its pretty embarrassing to still be in "reach across the aisle" when there's a fascist military takeover happening across the country.
Texas state Sen. Charles Perry (R) apologized on the Senate floor Tuesday, after Democracy Docket reported last week on racist remarks he made about immigrants at a 2022 legislative hearing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.
Donald Trump has recognized the basic truth that a critical mass of Americans will cheer the more brutal you are to people they see as criminals.
I blocked a person here and they followed me to the podcast site and complained about it and said it showed Nate Silver is right and they were no longer going to listen to the podcast. So you can imagine how bereft I am.
"Let's Call the 'GREAT' Gaza Post-War Plan Exactly What It Is: Ethnic Cleansing" The ridiculous and leaked 'Riviera' proposal offers Palestinians just $5,000 to leave & includes projects like the 'Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone,' writes Palestinian lawyer Diana Buttu for Zeteo.
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.
The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction for disputes between states (meaning they can actually file the lawsuit there, rather than have it go up on appeal). This would be a good time for Illinois to utilize it.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US 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?"
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
The serial criminal is the guy in the White House.
“.. The president has resorted to the most dire language possible to frame his trade program as the only thing saving the country from ruin.” 🤡 @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/09/02/t...
"They were born to be criminals." Jesus. Trump is talking about Americans this way. And let's be clear - he's talking about Black and brown people in Blue cities.
Trump doubling down on his unpopular tariffs. Doubling down on his trade deals, which are unpopular. Doubling down on his economy, which is sinking. Doubling down on his billionaire bill, which is very unpopular. Awesome. Keep going.
Trump on moving Space Command to Alabama from Colorado: They went to all mail-in voting. So they have automatically crooked elections. When a state is for mail-in voting, that means they want dishonest elections. That played a big factor also
What are they pumping into Donald Trump right now to give him energy to do this press conference that was scheduled for 2 pm but still hasn't started at 2:36 pm? Any guesses? This is what corporate media and MAGA did 24-7 with Biden. Perfectly fair to ask.
Each and every week there's a new post insisting that Twitter is "our national public square" or "the only conversation that matters" and every time it's written by by Some Guy I Only Know From Twitter and Haven't Thought About Once Since Leaving Twitter.
Programming Note: 🚨 “The president is running a little bit late. Eric unplugged him to recharge his iPhone.”
Jeanine Pirro: "This nonsense about 'National Guard on the street' -- next thing they're gonna say police shouldn't be on the street."
Trump is over 20 minutes late to his Oval Office address. Are they unable to reanimate him? lol
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
MAGA Host’s Wife To Die Thanks to RFK Jr., But He Blames Biden
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Trump: I FEEL GREAT NOTHING IS WRONG HERE LOOK A PHOTO OF ME GOLFING FROM A WEEK AGO Giuliani: I WAS HELPING SOMEONE DONT SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT MY CAR WRECK Trump: EPSTEIN IS OVER HE DIED A LONG TIME AGO GET OVER IT Sure, guys.
ClinicalTrials.gov has required posting protocols/SAPs with results since 2017 (for applicable trials). CDC releases NHANES, BRFSS, VAERS. NIH mandated data-sharing plans in 2023 and now funds replications. He's repackaging standard practice as “innovation.”
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
Concerning Trump‘s press conference today… In light of the Epstein survivor testimony expected this week, take whatever you’d expect Trump to say, raise it to the stupidest exponent imaginable… Then double it.
Sen. Roger Marshall on the CDC purge: "This is the same group of so-called experts that told the entire country we should live in fear of monkeypox, but failed to tell us that unless you're a homosexual man you don't have to worry about this at all, that monkeypox is a sexually transmitted disease."
Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "I was elected as the Labor Secretary for all Americans" (She was not elected)
I liked Roger Moore as Bond
Please, let me know immediately if Nate Silver ever does or says anything of interest or value!
www.greenmatters.com/pn/japanese-... Some GOOD NEWS to share Japanese Scientists develop plastic that dissolves in seawater in a few hours !! It can also breakdown in soil taking about 200 hours SEE WHY SCIENCE MATTERS
tbf, AC has been inconsolable since DC cut him off. Said wankers don't need company to shake it all night long.
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender, total of 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender, total of more than 4,000. Transgender folks are 1.0% of the population and they make up less than 0.1% of the mass shooters.
Crazy idea: what if we make electricity cost more for non-residential use.
If Jon Gruden can time travel, should he leave our timeline?
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
$50 says that’s Stephen Miller wearing his skin
Release The E-Files
He’s not traveling to NJ like they had announced. Not even to Florida. Sure does seem like someone is staying awfully close to Walter Reed, doesn’t it?
Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"
Hey GOP: You are killing the economy with your policies you dumba**es. Who do you think is going to pay your rent and buy your goods after you wreck the economy? The Middle Class literally supports you and your yachting lifestyle and you are crushing us. Wake TF up.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
We now know that Trump, or probably more correctly, the White House posted a photo today showing Trump playing golf which we now know was taken over a week ago. What do you reckon is going on?
Out of the first five questions, four are about gender identity. There isn't even a pretense that they're looking for qualified educators. They're interviewing candidates for the bathroom police.
I could get behind this.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
Trump just issued an executive order declaring himself immortal.
LoL! Like Trump ever carried anything except his wallet! Grandkids came to say goodbye to Gramps?
BREAKING: With rumors persisting of the President's death, Getty Images releases photos captioned, "Trump loads the motorcade"
RFK not believing in germs and now being in charge of public health is one of those things that the writers would nix from VEEP for being too outrageous.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
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.
NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
The entire fascist plot relies on us being terrified and sad. This is why they’re constantly trying to scare everyone with theatrics. They want you to see him as unstoppable and not as a 79-year-old with severe health problems who will die soon.
As Trump’s health declines, he seems completely preoccupied with his likelihood of reaching Heaven. Guess what, Donny? It’s too late for you. On the bright side, you’ll spend eternity with your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
CNN platforming Seb Gorka Martha Raddatz at ABC Interviewing Gov Wes Moore & being unhinged. Wes Moore needs to ask why she’s defending a rapist. Ask if her questions were written by Stephen Miller. Wes needs to pushback on a bought off press. I don’t get the constant defense mode. Offense only.
"Sure, I could double check that Raddatz is with CBS, or I could just go fold the laundry."
Wait. RFK Jr is admits that he is completely unqualified and hired only quacks and unqualified shills? Stephen Miller just said that RFK Jr was an incredible expert. But RFK Jr previously said no one should take medical advice from him yet he makes health decisions affecting the whole country...
4/ "New screening technology for foreign travelers" Nope. CDC's Traveler-based Genomic Surveillance launched in 2021 and was expanded long before O'Neill took the helm. He didn't invent it.
3/ "We stopped the Texas measles outbreak" Wrong. The outbreak was declared over by Texas state health officials, who led the response on the ground. Claiming DC credit rewrites history.
2/ "CDC manipulated health data" Accusing "manipulation" without evidence is a deflection tactic, not a rebuttal. CDC's career scientists use transparent, pre-specified methods.
1/ "Public health is a noble calling," says Jim O'Neill — a former tech investor with no training in medicine or health care now running the CDC. Let's fact-check his claims.
Looks like he is reaching for his walker.
First time in years I’ve used the “For You” feed there. Has a Daily Wire/Babylon Bee vibe. Fine, Bluesky leans the other way. But pundits complain this place is too left, because they take that place as a sign of what’s “normal” No wonder they act like Trump’s more popular than polls show he is.
Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number that’s mathematically impossible. That he can’t do simple math isn’t the problem, it’s that he’s lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
Why Isn't Donald Trump's Declining Health Being Covered by Corporate Media? Where are the op-eds & news programs calling for Trump's resignation due to his declining health, impaired abilities, & march towards fascism? Oh, yeah, "both sides" corporate journalism. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
Surely, RFK Jr has people in a lab at this moment with unlimited funding, working to make smallpox more contagious and more lethal?
They believe in eugenics and technofasicsm
What RFK Jr sees as bright eyes, engagement and curiosity is actually the result of fever in the unvaccinated kids. Brain worms and opioids evidently impair your judgment.
Tulsi Gabbard's "slip-up' of publicly outing of an undercover CIA officer is more than a mistake—it's an act of betrayal. This leak doesn't just end one person's career; it puts lives at risk, compromises intelligence networks, and weakens America's security abroad. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
👀 apnews.com/article/paxt...
Lol, see, that’s the “fragile” part he’s talking about. If your ego is so fragile that you get driven to support a cult of bigotry and hatred run by one of the stupidest men in the world who is also a convicted sexual assaulter, you’ve gotta be a really pathetic and miserable piece of shit.
Tesla said it had no data from a fatal Autopilot crash. A hacker found it. Back in 2019, a Tesla on Autopilot crashed in Key Largo, killing a couple. Tesla told the family there was no crash data available.
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
Jon Stewart asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants but not mass shootings
