Democrats "have to give up on the idea that they're a governing party. They have to give up on the idea that the Republican party is a traditional political party of which you can have some sort of meeting of the minds." @stuartpstevens.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:
"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." www.ft.com/content/b86b...

I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
Please read this entire thread as it reveals, in excellent, precise detail the recklessness of Trump's decision today to move U.S. Space Command to Huntsville. Also read Nuclear War: A Scenario, by Annie Jacobsen to further illustrate how dangerous and reckless this decision is.
So a little drug boat like that requires a missile? There are 4000 troops down there and many ships. Why didn't they intercept them, or wait until they reached the bigger boat? Is Trump trying to provoke a war with this Veneuzelan strike? Something is fishy, as always.

ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP‼️ Get all of those pedophiles out of office‼️ #GOP #GuardiansOfPedophiles #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
But I thought the Trump admin was trying to fight crime in DC. Open carry isn’t legal, but they’re going to turn a blind eye? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! 🚨 U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro directed her office to no longer seek felony charges against individuals carrying rifles or shotguns in D.C.

✂️ A Louisiana prison shaved a Rastafarian inmate’s dreadlocks—handcuffing him to a chair and cutting off the core of his faith. Now the Supreme Court is being asked: can prisoners ever hold officials accountable when their religion is trampled? ⚖️🕊️
Republican Rep. Jeff Crank: “Continued efforts to move [Space Command] headquarters only hurts our national security.”
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?"
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
"Be loud for America", is an astoundingly good rallying call for US citizens to resist the Trump autocratic takeover. Actionable and patriotic. Pritzker sure brings the fire to Democratic resistance.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Now, the U.S. Space Command will not be fully operational for years because the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama lacks the existing infrastructure already available in Colorado. But Alabama is a GOP-dominant state. So, Trump is catering to his base over national security. Yet again.
It wasn't about politics. It was about military readiness. It didn't make sense to put Space Force headquarters in any state other than Colorado when the only priority should be quick and effective communication in a nuclear crisis and there was already an infrastructure.
This is why Pres. Biden chose to headquarter U.S. Space Command in Colorado in 2023. Because all the pertinent Space Force facilities were already there. Peterson, Schriever, Cheyenne Mountain, and Buckley military bases, the whole of USSPACECOM. Sure, it saved money, but it was common sense.
U.S. Space Command plays a starring role in detection of nuclear missiles. When a nuclear missile is launched anywhere in the world, it's USSPACECOM's Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) that alerts us within seconds of the launch because of the heat signature.
An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICMB) launched from Russia can reach the U.S. in 27 minutes. An ICBM launched from North Korea takes about 30 minutes; some estimates have it as low as 24 min. That doesn't mean we all get a text alert on our phones saying an ICMB is gonna hit in a half hour.
"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)
More than 1,000 people currently imprisoned in Louisiana were convicted by split juries — ruled unconstitutional in 2020. Yet the state Supreme Court has declined to grant new trials, and lawmakers have repeatedly denied a reexamination of their cases. With @veritenews.org
Even in this age of police bodycams and bystander videos, there are certain categories of footage that most media organizations won’t share with the public. But it’s hard to imagine today’s media suppressing, as they did in 1937, footage from the anti-labor crackdown that resulted in 10 deaths.
Good catch. All the people telling us that we’re “both siding virtue signaling” are parroting corporatist propaganda. Good grief, figure it out people.
Yeah, a corporatist getting money from a big corporation is not really the progressive banger that OP seems to think it is. Why are they so bad at this and how are we still losing to people like this?
You think ending genocide is virtue signaling? Supporting unions and stopping neoliberal exploitation in a time when full time workers are homeless? The only virtue signaling here is pretending corporatists are decent representatives.
I see nothing wrong with your statement
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
Trump: "We've taken in almost $17 trillion of investment." (That would be more than half the entire US GDP, so no.)
You guys see where this is going? Right?
He’s putting ALL his ducks in a row
Trump said he is moving the US Space Command headquarters from Colorado to Alabama because of Colorado's voting methods, and that the town of Huntsville will play a 'key role' in building the Golden Dome missile defense system reut.rs/47U8yC3

Let us be clear: there is no emergency in Chicago that warrants the President of the United States deploying the military. I joined Senators Duckworth and Durbin and 10 Members of Congress from IL to demand that Trump & the Pentagon suspend plans for the deployment of military personnel to Chicago.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

Great to stop by Hyde Park and see Chef Erick Williams. This Black Business Month and every month, we’re proud to show the world what Illinois is really all about.
Illinois is now the number one state in the Midwest to work in. This ranking reflects our work in making Illinois the best state in the nation to do business, raise a family, and thrive.
Together, we've made Illinois a beacon of hope for workers everywhere. We've made life more affordable for families, created good jobs with fair wages, and made it easier to get an education and find a career. When we stand up and stand together, we win.
