That about sums it up.

I think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
She’s a singular sensation!

Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
“bluesky has no pull” we had the world thinking the president was dead, we’re becoming more powerful than they could ever imagine
Joe Biden is out buying ice cream while everyone is asking whether Trump is dead.
"Congratulations to President Donald Trump and his whip-smart administration on turning America’s brave National Guard troops into the most expensive gardening crew in human history." https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/08/28/trump-national-guard-picking-up-trash-dc/85853498007/
“It’s absolutely appalling”: former CIA Director John Brennan on President Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard firing a top CIA Russia expert just days after Trump’s Alaska Summit with Vladimir Putin.
Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.
Powerful piece by @markhertling.bsky.social. “I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Seriously.
At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains
Our tame nostalgia page is doing the “We grew up not worrying about germs” thing, and people replying “And we survived!” You know who didn’t survive? Millions of people, but they’re not on Facebook.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.
Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
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.
New in PN: Alert the media — the WH is lying about Trump's health "Something's clearly up & the official explanations don’t make sense. That’s not a shock given that Trump is a liar surrounded by toadies who surrendered their shame long ago. But it’s past time for reporters to ask some questions."
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
The timing of Vance declaring that he's ready to step in is starting to look even more suspicious.
TRUMP IS AMERICA’S BIGGEST LOSER.
A Democratic candidate for prosecutor in Virginia wants lawmakers to ban ICE agents from operating while masked or while concealing their identities; she says she’d then prosecute those who don’t comply.
Garcia: This is a great ruling by the court. Of course, Donald Trump is already overreacting, saying this is going to somehow be the destruction of the United States. I'm not sure if he's aware he's trying to do that all on his own.
A court ruled in our favor and declared that the President cannot impose tariffs whenever, wherever, or however he wants. This is a victory for hardworking families and businesses in New York and our nation. We will never stop fighting to protect people and their wallets.
Can Brian sue trump for his actions to support the insurrectionists?
If I had died in any of the six war zones I was sent to my family would have only gotten $100k
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!
Create the chaos and then say it would harm foreign policy to do what should have been done in the first place? The alienation due to tariffs is and will continue to harm America. Get real.
Our president being a child rapist is rather embarrasing. Not sure it gets worse.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
“You have to let us break the law or we will be embarrassed” is not a good legal argument
There other day I tried to think of one political appointee in this administration who isn’t either totally unqualified, incompetent or a kook (or all 3). I couldn’t think of anyone. Surely there must be somebody who knows what they’re doing?
What about the Commission’s response to this. Ask them.
wtf is wrong with theses people. Oh wait. They are stupid racists
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
How about sending National Guard troops in because of the very high crime rates in his state.
Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? “Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”
Says the guy who was a heroin addict for 14 yrs and had a fucking brain worm
He’s such a moron. Every Senator who voted for him should be ashamed.
"Peace effort. What is that? All I wanted to do was to roll the red carpet and clap hands for my master. Mission accomplished."
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Saying you need an AR-15 to hunt is like saying you need dynamite to fish. Stop the nonsense.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
All together now: DUMP RFK Jr.
This is good, very, very good.
🚨BREAKING: California Supreme Court DENIES Republicans’ petition asking the court to stop state officials from putting a redistricting measure on the ballot – the second GOP challenge to the state’s redistricting it’s thrown out in one week. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Travis Swift is going to be such a great football player name
If you think about it, it's actually surprising that it took six whole months before putting a vaccine-denying, roadkill-eating, ex-junkie carnivorous dead brainworm host and loonytunes conspiracy nut in charge of the CDC destroyed the CDC.
Spot on!
Oh please The Republican senators all know RFK Jr has no medical degree or even a degree in science They were all cowards because of Trump
OK, Sen. Tillis, now you know. Who will you partner with in the House to begin impeachment hearings?
Agree with this. Make them fight for every inch. Worth reading this thread.
The Toronto Blue Jays held a moment of silence prior to the start of tonight’s baseball game vs the Minnesota Twins. Canada is a good friend. 🇨🇦
Thanks to the @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social for giving a shout out to my tweet and following up with an intelligent analysis. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pId...
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
people love bringing up japan when it comes to deporting immigrants/ creating a homogenous society, but if you bring up japan's anti-gun laws it's "woah woah woah"
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
"The Authoritarian Socialist Free Market Capitalist Fascist Christian King of America" Trump tanking the economy, going full socialist dictator, & unleashing the National Guard is perfectly fine. MAGA only cares whether a school shooter is transgender. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
Call your Senators and let’s get this motherfucker impeached www.murray.senate.gov/senator-murr...
@govpritzker.illinois.gov made the same point as @governorwalz.mn.gov Enough of the damn "Dems in disarray" written-on-autopilot coverage. Or "how does this change odds for 2028?" The country is under attack. That's the story.
This. Thread.
Trump’s military takeover of DC isn’t about addressing crime or helping the city – it’s about seizing power and control.
Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”

These guys should be home with their families.
What’s it gonna take, Gelded Old Party?
Breaking on MSNBC: An attorney for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook says they're planning to sue Trump after he threatened to fire her — alleging he "has no authority" to do so.
Very big ruling: Democrats can win a seat if the new maps have at least most of Salt Lake City in a single district (as opposed to split among all 4 of Utah's congressional districts, in the struck-down map) www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
NEW: The DoJ asked the court for more time to respond to Me Abrego’s motion to dismiss his criminal case for vindictive and selective prosecution citing recent events. Mr. Abrego’s lawyers have filed a response in opposition saying the “recent events” are of the government’s own making. 1/
I'm genuinely glad for Canada and this is a smart business play by Moderna but it also stings when you consider the Moderna vaccine exists because of $10 billion dollars of US taxpayer money. And RFK Jr. might kill our access.
Ha, I first put in Rubin😜
Nothing like having your name in the mini crossword to hear from amazing people I haven’t talked with in a while (who I now know are people who do the mini crossword first thing in the am and it makes me love them more)
"Trump wants a compliant Fed and a compliant military. The firings are less about the individuals getting the axe than about the chance to replace them with people loyal to him. Trump doesn’t want anyone in senior positions who might not be subservient to him." www.thebulwark.com/p/dictator-f...
Good headline that conveys consequences of Trump’s action and uncertainty about his power.
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
As a DC resident I feel like I should say: This is a complete and utter lie. My kid, under age 12, walked to school last year into an area close to downtown. Telling the truth is an important thing.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
trump fires* lisa cook *claims to have fired any news outlet saying otherwise is manufacturing consent 😇
Trump vows to prosecute protesters who burn American flags to the maximum extent permitted by the Constitution — so, not much www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
Gov. Walz is the real deal. What we could’ve had makes me so sad. 😭
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."
Is any reporter going to ask him if he will be ordering troops into any Republican cities? Especially the ones with really high murder rates.
Senator Curtis, what do you have to say about this?
Why can’t Democratic governors send troops to red states?
Your occasional reminder that the current U.S. government — headed by a felon, his personal attorneys, and other criminal sympathizers — has used federal power 1) to protect convicted thugs who assaulted police in his behalf and 2) to punish the law enforcement officials who prosecuted those thugs.
