If a few health professionals say something you don't like, all said it and we should destroy the CDC. If a few students say something you don't like, all higher ed said it and we should end academic freedom. If the president and his party does something, that's one guy spouting off, let it go.
Our national parks generated $56 billion in visitor spending and supported 415,000 jobs in 2023. The entire National Park Service budget was just $3.6 billion. That’s some return on investment — so why is Donald Trump taking an axe to our parks?
i’ve been calling her Princess Polio but this absolutely wins
This is the ballgame:
He’s a Russian asset
Don’t worry Nigeria. Trump and RFK are making sure America First applies to this category soon enough
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
Well with energy prices skyrocketing this will surely help make that worse. Great plan by Sean Duffy and Trump to shoot ourselves in the crotch. Bravo 👏 👏👏👏
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
What a shame. "WGBH … has laid off the 13 people who worked on the history series 'American Experience' and announced that no new documentaries will be produced for the show until further notice." (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/a...
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
Take a break for a bit, and come back recharged for the fight. “Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
A cult of personality. What could go wrong?
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
Washington D.C. now, predecessors in Beijing, Moscow and Berlin
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
You should resign if you plan on being complicit
The movie he is featured in is Sin City

Spot on!!!!!
1/ Important: "Epstein was actually still on the Mar-a-Lago membership logs up to 2007. ... That of course is a year after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in Florida." So Trump didn't kick him out for many years after knowing Epstein 'stole' Virginia Giuffre from MAL in 2000. 🧵
Check the replies in the comments. This may be an old pic. Way too warm for their outfits as well
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
I previously did not care and am now vehemently opposed to him getting anywhere near the HOF
The US President has ordered the creation of ”specialized” military units to “quell civil disturbances” in all 50 of our states. Military units under his personal control. Deployed across our homeland, in peacetime. Little time is left to stop this insanity.
God the WAPO sucks ass now….
Is he allowed to fire her? Seems like many are saying no.
Fix your headline. He can’t fire her cause some weirdo said something on twitter
Thank you!!! I am the biggest Lib maniac in many of my friend groups and at no time would I complain about Sydney Sweeney. Its so f’in made up
Why the f do you keep giving these awful grifters a platform??? Rufo, RFK jr and now this idiot

I would never support Clemens going forward since Trump got involved.
Clemens definitely was one of the “crew”. 😂😂😂😂. Hilarious to think otherwise
Who are you going to believe? Ghislaine Maxwell or the judge and jury who convicted her along with the many witnesses who testified about her crimes under oath
Has Winsome ever denounced a word from Trump’s mouth? I’m guessing no
Arguably the beast NHL goalie ever and certainly in the top 3. He HATES Putin and has been a voice for Ukraine and keeping Russian players out of international hockey while this murder spree in Ukraine is happening
Military units occupying Los Angeles were based in California. Washington, D.C. is not a state. Therefore, this military deployment to Chicago may represent the first time military forces from one U.S. state have been sent into another state, uninvited or actively opposed, since 1957.
Well said Joe! I would be hard pressed to find someone who has stepped up to fight MAGA more than Sarah Longwell. (Big fan of Tom as well). I want to beat back authoritarianism and if sounding more normal is one step to do that it would be foolish not to
Too good to not share. By @justinling.ca
👏👏👏. Thank you!!
The NY Times headline writers might as well donate to the Trump campaign. It would be less ridiculous of a move than what they currently do
The U.S. now owns 10% of INTEL. MAGA communism is real.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
These nominees are in a state with 2 Republican Senators. So if they refused to work with Biden’s team on nominees they would approve Dems couldn’t proceed because of the “Blue Slip” process. Now in Trump 2 states with Dem Senators need to make sure they don’t return any blue slips for their states
The current NYT frontpage is a series of textbook attempts at authoritarian consolidation by the Trump regime. Criminalizing opposition, falsely declaring emergencies to claim unchecked power, dismissing officials who dissent from the party line--we're headed towards a one party dictatorship.
I am but a simple every day citizen but the last 10 years of Trump has taught me that if a politician and all his surrogates repeat the same talking points a mass of people will believe it. And in numbers that matter. How Democrats haven’t learned this lesson while you and I know this is crazy
that the phrases “intentionally destroying the economy” and “worst economic president of our lifetimes” arent being said everywhere right now by dem politicians makes my head want to explode
Thank you Radley. Anyone cheering on Bolton dealing with this BS is a fool. I would tell that foolish poster, They will eventually come for someone you do care about
Can anyone remind me how to make submissions to the “Both Sides Hall of Fame”
Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.
Well we know what Vlad ordered Trump to do in the limo
Someone have a Cankle surgeon on standby
“Blurred the line”??? Are you fucking kidding me?
It's cool that she doesn't know anything about the field, everyone, because she was third runner up in the 2010 Miss Colorado pageant.
RFK to recommend Flammable pajamas
Cheering him on to redistrict CA or for his team roasting Trump on social media does not guarantee i’ll vote for him in 28. On these 2 items he is stepping up and I support those 2 things.
If RFK’s polio empowerment comeback tour doesn’t kill me then these fools deciding national security is pointless will do it
So in other words, Republicans have found someone they can prop up to try and weaken Roy Cooper in a primary to ideally peal black votes away in the General. Sound about right? I mean the guy is surrounded by Republican consultants

From the court: "The Government's 100,000 pages of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70 odd pages of Epstein grand jury materials."
👏👏👏👏
Rolling Stone has been fantastic I Hope he doesn’t f with it
Wait til we find out about all the over-billing from “Don Jr and Eric Painting Inc”
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
Missouri really sending their worst…
JFC….
A non-mutually exclusive series: 1. Gerrymander the Wrongs out of contention 2. Strike the Wrongs from the voting rolls 3. Make it logistically difficult for the Wrongs to vote 4. Intimidate the Wrongs from voting 5. Refuse to count the Wrongs’ votes 6. If the Wrongs still win, claim fraud & annul

Why have you not formed a shadow cabinet!!!?????
Is he trying to get women to lose it over young J Crew model Newsome compared to young creepy Vance?
It’s great for when you have a Teams call and you want the people on the other end to pick up all the noise of those around you
Somehow keeps happening in the Trump admin.what an amazing coincidence
If anyone reading Tim’s post isn’t subscribed to Wired please change that. They are killing it in 2025. Money well spent to support them
Best headline i’ve seen explaining this BS!!!
This is how you write the lead on a post for this situation! 👏👏👏👏👏. Thank you Rolling Stone!!!!
Let’s go!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Ok, where is that version in Ohio? I am all ears to anyone who fits that profile and open to all alternatives. Unfortunately that person does not currently exist. So I am donating to Sherrod Brown
So you have no one. Endorsements unfortunately don’t carry the weight that you imagine. Let me ask you this, would you rather have a Dem in that Senate seat who is old or a younger Republican who does whatever Trump wants?
Yep, but I’ll take a 74 year old Dem in that Senate seat than a MAGA repub who does whatever Trump says. Brown has a chance to win. I’m all ears if you have an alternate suggestion. Let’s hear it
Just waiting for you to name a viable alternative with a brand that can win in OHIO of all places. I’m all ears. In any circumstance that Dems can run a younger candidate who is adept at the current communications environment and can win i will support. That is NOT the case here. So name someone
Let’s go!!!!!
So you can’t name anyone. Thats what i thought. Do you want to win races and take back the Senate? If not keep doing what you are doing
He should visit Charleston, WV and get his own house in order
👏👏👏👏👏
Name the “youngster” in Ohio who has as much of a chance as Sherrod Brown.
This is a brilliantly concise explainer of the Russia Hoax hoax by Marcy Wheeler. It needs to be watched a few times to really grasp the reality of the 2016 election.
“Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.”
A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
You mean the January 6th insurrectionist who likes Ships from Nazi Germany? Oh yeah he’s never managed a single thing let alone a 2,000 person group at BLS
The American story as it actually has unfolded - a nation slowly, imperfectly realizing its founding ideals - is only divisive to people who are racists. ICYMI @tlecaque.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-smit...
