I’d like to know how the military even obeyed that order.
I’d love to know how the military followed through with this.
TOMORROW: I go live on Substack with @stevevladeck.bsky.social for a discussion on the legality of the apparent plan to deploy un-federalized Texas National Guard troops to Illinois. Subscribe for free to stevevladeck.com and muellershewrote.com to be notified.
“Trump’s comments on Chicago’s crime rate has skeptics raising their eyebrows.”
Ratings, eyeballs, distraction. If you’re a 24 cable news channel, you need content. Even if it’s horrible.
This is all sounding very “Command Economy-ish”
Trump would nuke the Middle East if someone disabled his phone.
Requirements: Candidate cannot publicly acknowledge democracy is under threat.
He respawned at a different than expected location in the White House and they’re trying to locate him.
That attack would be an attack on NATO… Russia doesn’t win that exchange. Western allies need to stop punching off their back foot, and letting Putin dictate their actions.
If someone wants to complain about “information bubbles” and “media silos” and the conversation doesn’t start and end with the MAGA Cult, that conversation can safely be ignored.
What in the Ai is going on?
The ruling is Stayed until September 12th, giving Trump time to appeal… (SCOTUS will extend that deadline while they decide when to take up the appeal)
The ruling is stayed until September 12 to give the Trump Admin time to appeal. (Guess how this plays out)
Is trump demanding an extortion payment from you? You know this is ridiculous, right?
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
Could be deciding that for National Security reasons, he’s going to classify the Epstein files.
It’s crazy that the *right* answer is going to be worse than some of these wrong answers.
I’m reminded of Aesop’s the North Wind and the Sun fable.
No one circles the wagons better than people in the American media.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
10 years later, Trump is making the same mistakes Michele Obama did
Why is the media burying/largely ignoring Trump’s disappearance?

Motion for Plaintiffs and defendants to follow your thread(s) so they know what the Court has instructed them to do.
Someone reporting they saw a couple of 7-year olds with chalk eyeing some sidewalk
Reminder that Trump gave Rush Limbaugh the Presidential Medal Of Freedom in his first term…
The internal power struggle that will happen when he finally meets his maker will splinter the GOP.
OPINION | Rudy is making the same mistakes Michelle Obama did - By Tom Bartlett
This is what I don’t understand. If the current trajectory is leading towards France planning for this contingency, why wouldn’t they just try to alter the trajectory by giving Ukraine all the weapons? I guess I’m too dumb to get it.
Surely, someone somewhere must be seriously concerned?
My theory is that for the “Bluesky is too unfriendly” people, it’s not actually enough to read their post or article, we have to agree with it as well.
Would be nice if the media even bothered to address it tbh.
Someone please kill me right now.
Good question
Doesn’t matter what social media site you’re on(past, present, future), you’ll inevitably come across people intolerant of your viewpoint. And you’ll get some unglued responses. I would not characterize that as my overall experience on here though. Not even close.
MORE: Sparkle Sooknanan is still awake -- and she wants a fourth status report from DOJ. The judge orders the government to update her when all putative class members have been returned to ORR custody.
C’mon Judge. Order an 11:30 status filing.
This is what happens when you obliterate the presumption of regularity. Endless homework assignments because the court can't trust the government to follow orders in good faith.

There was a flight tracker account that noted 3 separate planes landed in Guatemala sometime after the Courts ruling… did they deplane the 76 children and continue on with the other 524?
Nice. If they’re going to ruin her long weekend, they can spend Sunday night filing status reports
I think if this was the first instance of Ensign painting outside the lines, more people might be inclined to give the benefit of the doubt.
Rudy’s lucky he wasn’t just dumped in Central Park and made to look like a cycling accident…. Apparently that stuff happens
The signature line “respectfully” is straining credulity here

Nip this in the bud now before they get emboldened by no pushback.
Rudy got chased out of an hourly rate highway motel, jumped in his car, put it in reverse, and front-ended a parked truck.
White House just released a clip of Trump out and about last night.
Sunday of a long weekend. This judge was woken up at 2:00 this morning and has been dealing with straight bullshit from the government since then. I don’t think it’s a smart strategy tbh.
I’m sure this isn’t going to be a problem bsky.app/profile/jjin...
Woulda been nice if we had some contempt proceedings underway by now
I’m waiting for an emergency book release from Jake Tapper.
There’s * a lot* going on right now, but I’m wondering what the consensus is on next Friday’s normally scheduled August Jobs numbers being released. Is the Trump Admin just skipping this one or are we getting eleventy million new jobs created?
Ah, well then. Next question.
If it’s about the $$, I don’t understand the thinking behind a 4-year contract. Mcdavid is 28 years old. He’ll still have significant contributions in his thirties, but signing a giant 8-year deal somewhere at 32 years old isn’t as sure a thing as it would be now.
Are you getting this via email? Social media? How are reaching you?
Embarrassing, for sure. But, he’s telling us something as well… basically *everything* that’s happened in the first 7 months has been a prelude. The actual show hasn’t even started. Not good.
The absolute consistency and commitment to hypocrisy is incredible.
@marcelias.bsky.social and his team provide consistently strong coverage of the details in the battle for our democracy and are independent of any capitulating corporate bosses. Support them and sign up.
I hate the question posed. Somehow “political views” has become synonymous with “are you a reasonably decent human being”?
Ohhhh, think bigger
It’s because we’re in an information bubble, and we need to listen to opposing views(note: when we’re told we need to listen to opposing views, what’s implied is that we also have to agree with them. But if we don’t, for gods sake, don’t be mean about it)
Pretty crazy that Sharpton has been able to sidestep this. Or it’s just been memory-holed: www.nydailynews.com/2021/05/27/h...
Well, now I want to read it.
Under Stalin, repression was so severe that the Soviet Gulags held one sixth of the entire world's prison population. Just kidding - that's the United States, today.
Did he…. Did he *just* finish the obstacle course?
So, what happens here? Is there like black smoke from the West Wing? Or is it the Residence?
Tell Twitter we’re sending thoughts and… nope, that’s it. Just thoughts.
Folks in DC get all that freshly landscaped public space to party on… smh
Has anyone checked where Polymarket is on this?
The way this has been trickling onto my timeline has me howling.
long weekend at bernie's
Don’t forget the 3.5 hour cabinet meeting/celebration of life.
It’s catchy!
We'll know it happened when OANN puts on Swan Lake
Ya… we know. We need to start communicating what the plan is. We don’t need play-by-play.
Fortunately it’s not gonna be too difficult. If you were a Republican at any point past 2016, you’re complicit
Here’s a “hot take”, but I don’t think Putin is going to meet Monday’s deadline.
Pre-2016, this would’ve been a very vague thing to post.
I daydream about being woken in the dead of night by the sound of shouts, cheers, and car horns.
It’s not perpetuating a cycle of revenge if you put the people doing illegal things behind bars.
Same thing with the $200,000,000 Ballroom addition to the White House. You don’t do that if you’re leaving a year after it’s built.
We e seen this movie already. Trump lawyers will file appeal to SCOTUS at the last minute, and SCOTUS will allow the tariffs to stay in place until they get around to it.
I think Canada needs to play along with this.
Me waiting for New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York to get their heads out of the sand
Lemme guess; The Judge will give the Trump administration “x” days to appeal the decision before any ruling to reverse the tariffs would take effect?
Iowa GOP finding their new candidate
Just for clarity, what would you list as 2-3 current conservative ideologies?
Can anyone tell me what earning a degree in Journalism does for someone nowadays? Because it sure as fuck isn’t Journalism.
Every Hospitalized Child Recovering From The Annunciation Church Mass Shooting as A Character From Game of Thrones. - By Chris Cillizza
Imagine the Congressional hearings Republicans would be demanding if this was a DOJ or FBI appointed by a Democratic Administration.
Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician, voted to confirm anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. as health secretary because Cassidy thinks his re-election is more important than whether children die of measles or are crippled by polio.
Her tombstone will read; “Called it”
I get the urge for career politicians and diplomats to refuse to give up on dialogue and diplomacy, but this is straining that understanding. Trump and Putin will do whatever Putin wants to do. End of story.
