WOW. This is one of the original Alien Enemies Act cases going back to March. The conservative 5th Circuit has ruled Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to disappear people to El Salvador was UNLAWFUL.

¡Vamos a ganar! ✊🏽 Workers at Houston’s Hilton Americas hotel are ON STRIKE — because one job should be enough! This is the first strike of Texas hotel workers in modern history.
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
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.

Unfortunately, much like Dune, Frankenstein is one of those books that people claim they have read because they think watching one of the adaptations counts as reading the book. It doesn't. There is so much nuance in those books that are glossed over in the adaptations that NEEDS to be experienced

Ten victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have a news conference planned for tomorrow, Wednesday, September 3. Here's your reminder that the Epstein files still haven't been released. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
Our drama club presented 1984 (it’s also a play) when I was a senior. I designed and built the sets and had a small part. 1984 was popular during Vietnam war era.
Maybe if they based it on how you smell.
"Our democracy is only as strong as the people willing to defend it. State and local officials are on the frontlines of this work, and they must stay firm in the tough battles ahead — for the systems they manage and the voters they serve. The stakes couldn’t be higher." -- Pamela Smith

Democrats need to win 4 Senate seats in order to have a majority.
There really are too many pundits and there aren’t enough topics to make a career out of it, so many go off the rails with bonkers arguments.
Trump has suffered major losses recently — in both federal courts and the court of public opinion. It's why he lashes out at the media, spreads lies, attacks his political enemies, and tries to rig elections. These are the actions of a tyrant with his back against the wall.

He's going to Executive Order everyone on Earth to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize with the phone number in Norway flashing at the bottom of the screen, infomercial-style
Not really. They have full free health coverage (medical, dental, vision) and pension for life.
Today, Congress is back in session. Priority #1: The Epstein files must be made public. The victims deserve justice, and Americans deserve the truth.
I just received notice there’s going to be a military flyover of DC tomorrow at 11am, just in time to distract from the 10:30 press announcement about the Epstein victims. Surely the timing is coincidental.

I don't care if Dump announces that he died and was replaced by a body double or abducted by aliens. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!
the most humiliating part of the healthcare system is being spoken to like i'm the dumbest rocks for brains alive while also being charged like i'm mommy warbucks
Is Trump correct that museums, universities, and the media have a left-wing “woke” bias? Of course not. It’s the question Trump would like everyone to be asking, but it obscures the more important question. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/who-decides-what-we-know-and-learn
Hey Comer, how’s that Hunter Biden probe doing? Glad you are intent on rooting out corruption in the Presidency. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
“If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges. . . One goes to the unprotected — those, precisely, who need the law’s protection most! — and listens to their testimony.” — James Baldwin
A note to RFKJ- don’t cross the nurses. They’re tough as nails and get things done. We’re glad to have National Nurses United join the fight against unscientific nonsense.
You’re paying an unneeded tariff tax on Indian products because President Art of the Deal couldn’t convince India’s leader to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. You’re paying double for morning coffee because he’s mad Brazil won’t let an insurrectionist go free.
Maria Bartiromo to Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "You've got all these projects which are not necessarily projects that you can rely on. I mean, is the wind blowing? Is the sun shining? And yet hundreds of millions of dollars were going at these projects."
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas

Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned. Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned. Thousands of January 6th rioters? Pardoned. Anyone who opposes Trump? Prosecuted.
Huge waste of our tax $$$, no doubt. Like everything he does, everyday.
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
They want you numb. Overworked. Distracted. Apologizing for how much you feel in a world that profits off your disconnection. But staying soft in a world broken like this is not a weakness. It’s proof that you haven’t given up on being human.

ICYMI: A group of admin law scholars sent a letter to the House & Senate Appropriations Committees arguing why "pocket rescissions"—the idea that the president can propose rescissions of budget authority late in a fiscal year and then allow funds to expire while the proposal is pending—are illegal.

Mountain trolls are the biggest creatures in Norwegian folklore. They dwell inside mountains in their own realms, where they hoard gold and gemstones. If they are exposed to sunlight they turn into rock, and legend has it that many mountains in Norway are former trolls. 🎨 Martina Ehrenborg

🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
All kidding aside, it is so *insane* & *shocking* & *dangerous* that Corporate Media has collectively decided to completely bury objective fact that the President is uninformed, confused, and physically & mentally deteriorating.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
The long term data on hepatitis B vaccination shows it reduces the incidence of liver cancer by 84% and death from liver disease by 70%. This comes from a large cluster RCT in which entire towns were randomly selected to give the hepatitis B vaccine to all newborns.

No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, what’s the timeline for the book on how the President went missing like a week after he had weird bruising on his hands?
