Stephen Miller, RFK, Peter Thiel, Elon, Zuck… lots of viable candidates for that honor.
Ted Cruz: "I don't want to get between JB Pritzker and the Dominos Pizza line, but I'll tell you what I am willing to get between -- him and his open doors for every human trafficker ... "
NASHVILLE & CLARKSVILLE — 2 TN-7 special election Democratic primary forums are scheduled on September 9th & 15th
Bari Weiss taking a leading role at CBS News is the kind of dystopian vision for this year that everyone would have rightly told me was exaggerated if I posted it a year ago.
Good move www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Elizabeth Warren: "Donald Trump supports Andrew Cuomo to be mayor of New York. Period. And he is willing to bring down the force of the US government not on behalf of the people of the US, but to be able to manipulate the mayoral race to help Andrew Cuomo."
Incredibly important point: "As pertains to this case, it is important to recognize and remember that if speech can be curtailed in the name of the Jewish people today, then just as easily the speech of the Jews (and anyone else) can be curtailed when the political winds change direction."
I will note that while Harvard's case was incredibly strong, they still quietly enacted many of the exact demands of the Trump administration such as limiting protests, eliminating DEI and supports for minority students, and targeting middle eastern studies curriculum. bsky.app/profile/esqu...
"A review of the admin. record makes it difficult to conclude anything other than that Defendants used antisemitism as a smokescreen for a targeted, ideologically-motivated assault on this country’s premier universities, and did so in a way that runs afoul of the... 1st Amendment and Title VI."
JUST IN: Harvard won summary judgment against the Trump administration with the court finding that the admin violated Harvard's 1st amend. rights. The court has vacated the funding freeze orders and termination letters and issued a permanent injunction. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I recently visited an ICE detention center with @ravenreveals.bsky.social just outside of Chicago. Kidnapping people off the streets isn’t keeping us any more safe. Let’s close this facility and all the other ones like it down.
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
十三是我之前的猫猫，十一岁时生病去世了，我当时伤心得没办法上班，去宠物救助中心看到了类似颜色体积的大脸，就收养了大脸。大概有半年的时间我都觉得大脸只是我的养子，不是我儿子。现在大脸也快十一岁了，虽然是个脆皮总是生点小病，好在没什么大问题没有，希望他能多陪我几年。其实十三跟大脸完全不一样，他聪明，喜欢睡在人身上，吐舌头，抓老鼠，还是个双眼皮。大脸的话，不太聪明，只有一个绝招就是翻肚皮。
Trump is considering given Eric Adams & Curtis Sliwa jobs in the administration in exchange for them dropping out to help Andrew Cuomo. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/n...
Epstein survivor on Epstein: "His biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump."
It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms. It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro. It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume. When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.
Russia has always excelled at selling strength when it has none. Just look at how the West overestimated Russian capabilities these past 3 years. Putin is nothing without China. North Korea? Just Beijing’s puppet.
If we are now basing public health recommendations on their popularity with the general public, I’d like to know what the cutoff is. These people are all a danger to every person in the United States.
Marty Makary, head of the FDA, said this yesterday: “most Americans, who are voting with their feet (or their upper arms) [are] against an eternal annual [COVID19] booster campaign”. His agency just approved a yearly flu shot for everyone. Only half of Americans got it last year.
Ummm...does he not know the information is out there for everyone to check? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...
Amy Coney Barrett is such a colossal idiot. It's bad enough to opine that SCOTUS should approach its work as if it existed to bow to public opinion, but overturning Roe was very much AGAINST PUBLIC OPINION, YOU MORON. www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/p...
"I really feel it's incumbent upon me to, on the record here, apologize to Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh if they think that anything this court has done has been done in defiance of a precedential action of the Supreme Court in the United States," he said. That is not actually an apology.
The judge for some reason apologized for not knowing that SCOTUS shadow docket orders are considered precedent, which is something no one else knew either until a couple of weeks ago.
Seems Trump might be trying an end-run in which Texas mobilizes its National Guard. That would be Texas invading Illinois, which as you can imagine is unconstitutional. One wonders about potential remedies, such as IL seizing assets of TX corporations like X, xAI, and SpaceX. Just a thought. 🤔
Governor Pritzker should call up the Illinois National Guard to protect the citizens from rogue Guard invading their state.
If it was ruled as illegal in CA, why do it in Illinois. The National Guard should refuse an illegal order.
I see the Calif ruling has no bearing on Trumps conduct
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in the state over the governor’s repeated objections. Pritzker also warned Trump will soon launch large-scale immigration raids in Chicago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
🚨Regarding the #Pentagon and #SpaceForce announcements: Reps @rokhanna.bsky.social (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are holding a press conference tomorrow, 9/3, 10:30am, with ten victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking. Link to watch live: youtube.com/live/q6fUosr... 🗣️ Release the Epstein files
More Insanity: Our country is in the crapper. Pentagon authorizes up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.
Political theater.
For those asking why Judge Breyer stayed the ruling, the answer is because, if he didn't, someone else (the Ninth Circuit or #SCOTUS) would have, at least temporarily. I know it's frustrating, but the stay is designed to avoid provoking either a less-sympathetic Ninth Circuit panel or the justices.
#BREAKING: Judge Breyer has held that the Trump admin. *violated* the Posse Comitatus Act in its military deployments in and around Los Angeles, and has enjoined further use of those troops for law enforcement tasks. The order is stayed through 12 PDT on 9/12: georgetown.app.box.com/file/1973361...
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Americans Astronomers watching watching US politics Betelgeuse 🤝 “It could happen at any time”
It seems obvious to believe that welfare should be targeted to the poor, but the reality of targeting is paid targeters and how that means corruption and bribery. Universal basic income gets around this problem by reaching everyone directly. Then taxes can be used to subtract from high income folks.
NEW: This morning, DOJ's Drew Ensign confirmed that the last of 76 children the Trump administration tried to put on planes & send to Guatemala in the middle of the holiday weekend are back in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the result of a well-timed lawsuit & fast-moving judge.
Asked by the BBC how he would feel if "your daughter was having to walk past one of these [asylum] hotels every day?" Keir Starmer replies that "I completely get it". "I understand why people want the hotels closed. I want them closed".
Unfortunately as of the end of May, poll aggregator and election simulator 338Canada suggests that her party enjoys a comfortable margin of support. 338canada.com/alberta/
Pay attention Canadians: Alberta premier Danielle Smith is copying the worst of the worst US fascist States (Florida!). Book banning is anti-democratic. Ban Danielle Smith instead!

📌If Rudy Giuliani had been a bear after being struck by that car, RFK Jr. might have scooped him up to eat him. Long way of saying: It could have been worse.
JUST IN: Judge who blocked the transfer of about 600 Guatemalan minors from US to Guatemala Sunday is keeping a very tight leash on the government. Echoes of Alien Enemies Act litigation simply deafening here. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Sorry I want to make sure there is no misunderstanding. What did you think I meant?
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

I wouldn't compare the EC to actual DEI (though it is closer to the DEI strawman, which I suppose is the point of the cartoon)
A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Wage theft is keeping the same salary while having high inflation Wage theft is keeping the same salary while having much higher profits Wage theft is when CEOs earn your year’s salary in one day
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
One would think that #Trump who, according to his own pollster #TonyFabrizio lost the #2020 election as a result of his chaotic mismanagement of #Covid, would want to run a tighter ship on disease control. Too dumb to learn from his own mistakes. And we pay. www.cnn.com/2021/02/02/p... #FireRFK
Frustrated about the difficulty in getting a COVID19 shot and wondering who to blame? It’s not healthcare workers, pharmacies, public health or Big Pharma. It is Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. and every Republican Senator who voted to confirm him, especially Bill Cassidy.
Spoken with the unbridled confidence of someone who has no fucking idea what they’re talking about.
What the holy fuckshit is this? This is from something called “the argument” which I’ve blissfully never heard of until just now, and will blissfully forget about its existence momentarily. Anyway, a supposedly leftie argument for taking RFK seriously when he talks about “mitochondrial challenges.”
The past 12 hours gave all of us a sense of just how huge the nationwide celebration will be when he finally does kick the bucket. 🎉🥳🎊
Zuckerberg's origin story: he created a site that rated college women's physical appearances without their consent. Over a decade later, nothing has changed 🤷♀️
Exclusive: Meta has appropriated the names and likenesses of celebrities — including Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway and Selena Gomez — to create dozens of flirty social-media chatbots without their permission, Reuters has found reut.rs/3JWb00R
Calling all Swifties to urge Taylor to sue Meta and its techno-fascist billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, into oblivion.
Perhaps if white smoke comes out at JD Vance's couch might be a sign.
Waiting for the 'Trump dead, what this tells us about Bidens declining health' headlines
Reminder to all to live your life in such a way that folks aren’t so giddy at the mere rumor of your death.
we'll know it's for real when Fox News starts playing Lee Greenwood's rendition of "Swan Lake" on loop
You're an epidemiologist. You are among the very few people that I WANT to hear about coronavirus or any other outbreaks. This whole "My ignorance deserves as much time as your education" is absurd. This is medicine. Messaging strategists should be booted into the sun. All of them.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
"I still think the Democratic Party believes it's fighting a party. It's not fighting a party; it's fighting an autocratic movement. And the only way to defeat that movement is for the Democratic Party to forget about being a party and lead a pro-democracy movement to fight back."
Change the tax laws so the rich pay their share and more
Defund Israel needs to be added to the top of the list.
We need to bring back the fairness doctrine and if you are characterizing yourself as “news” you are registered as such and held accountable.
In August, Keir Starmer has tweeted 61 times. 22 of those tweets were about immigration. 100% of his tweets about immigration painted immigration in a negative light. If you're not on Twitter, you won't be aware of what you're missing. This thread collects EVERY tweet he posted about immigration.
The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
This seat had been in Republican hands for 13 years. When we are organized and support strong candidates who are focused on the issues that matter, we can win. Let's keep this going.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Public health experts warn that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s leadership crisis—sparked by the White House’s efforts to oust CDC director Susan Monarez—could jeopardize national biosecurity, pandemic preparedness and disease outbreak surveillance
See y’all there!
He has filled the most powerful vaccine advisory board at CDC with sycophants. He has placed a man who is opposed to COVID19 vaccines in charge of their approvals at FDA Their hands are tied, and they correctly refuse to “just follow orders”.
He is manipulating data and making absolutely horrific decisions without consulting some of the best experts in the world. They have no recourse. If you wish to rage at someone, may I suggest any Republican Senator. 2/3
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
There are 400 million guns in this country. More guns than people. In America, we are ten times more likely to be shot in a school or playground than any other developed nation.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
I don't trust a snake, but if it eats a rat I'll be happy. Too many people conflate "Newsom is smart about redistricting and I like his social media presence" with "This is my new king and I am bowing to his fealty. Hail Gavin."
You don't have to like Gavin Newsom. You don't have to support him in the primaries.
Japan has opened its first osmotic power plant – so what is it and how does it work? The site in Fukuoka is only the second power plant of its type in the world, harnessing the power of osmosis to run a desalination plant in the city www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
