Well done.
Anyone seen JD?
Seems clear this disjointed, nonsensical post was authored by Trump.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Curious about what's to come in RFK Jr's takeover of America's healthcare system? This sheet pan low-sodium unseasoned chicken and rice will have you thinking you're in the hospital's respiratory ward. Dislodge your breathing tube and nosh away!
Where's Jon Gruden?
He posted this 6 hours ago. But it appears to be from a week ago based on the fact that Gruden posted this on Aug 23, same shirt, and at Trump National.
Yes. Three votes are known (only 1 Trump-appointed). Meaning decency and rule of law must prevail by a 5-1 margin. Even the filibuster isn't that bad.
You don't have to give these folks a forum for lies. Whenever I see these "panels" I change the channel. Scott Jennings has become a complete tool.
True colors.
The account from which Trump shared this QAnon image churns out an endless stream of material designed to drive race hate, antisemitism, fear & hatred of trans people, Muslims, etc. The message refers to "the Storm" of violence that QAnon cultists eagerly expect Trump to unleash.
Just about looked this up and was about to post it. Shocking, what an absolute traitor.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Erasing Black history while resurrecting the confederacy.
"Mr. Trump’s advisers have continued railing against India. One called India’s approach to trade negotiations “arrogant” and another went as far as calling the conflict in Ukraine “Modi’s war.”" .....Trump is being advised by fools.
Our President is making things more expensive for Americans based on petty, personal, and petulant "feelings."
"Mr. Trump had been saying — repeatedly, publicly, exuberantly — that he had “solved” the military conflict between India and Pakistan, a dispute that dates back more than 75 years and is far deeper and more complicated than Mr. Trump was making it out to be." .......or capable of understanding.

“Our job is lethality and readiness and warfighting.” – Pete Hegseth, U.S. secretary of defense 🥴
#Jaketapper just now: While some are comparing RFK Jr. to Lysenko, the notorious "dictator" of Soviet biology, Tapper points out that's not really fair. Lysenko was at least sort of a scientist.
So odd that saying I'm a big fan of @radiofreetom.bsky.social and @mcuban.bsky.social is now a hot take.
Oh, that ship sailed Jan. 20.
From his Labor Secretary: "...you are the transformational president of the American worker". So, yeah, I guess so.
SCOOP: Donald Trump and DOJ ‘Special Attorney for Mortgage Fraud’ Ed Martin are speaking as often as four times per week as the GOP activist prepares to seek indictments against prominent Democrats www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.
Gaza famine likely to worsen as Israel ends pauses for aid deliveries in capital
Deep thoughts from junior college dropout.
I mean, he led with Jesus. Maybe a belief in defense first?
Boise State coach sideline interview: "I want to thank Jesus for all things including this thorough ass beating we are currently enduring right now. It only makes us stronger." *South Florida scores again, and again, and again*
The coach invoked Jesus in a 3rd quarter interview. He'd prefer "what in heaven."
Trump pocket vetoes a $4.9 bn foreign aid budget. This is unconstitutional.
All true. The idea we're even discussing the idea the federal government is making it hard for me to provide normal health care for my family is absurd.
Red states: Poor general health care. Poor reproductive health care. Poor schools. Poor climate policy. Unsavory political leadership. At some point, demographics will reflect all this.
You know he won't. So call for the House to begin impeachment today. It won't happen either, but put every GOP rep on the record.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
Texas lagging in protecting its citizens?
60 vote threshold for non-budgetary bills.
No one has ever referenced the Laffer Straight Line.
Thank goodness virtually none of this will pass the Senate.
Meanwhile, Hegseth refers to those opposed to EOs as "lemmings".
Supporting unlimited access to guns is the common denominator for Johnson and the killer.
Google AI: "As of August 2025, there have been two confirmed school shooters who were transgender, making them a very small minority of all school shooters."
Technically: Under U.S. law (18 U.S.C. § 3056), all former presidents receive lifetime Secret Service protection for themselves, their spouses, and (until age 16) their children.
Breaking: Trump assigns local trooper to patrol DC.
Apparently you're taking the over.
Exactly.
Fair.
Cod: $15-----$22.

10? His faculties really are slipping.
Could also piss off the ankle guy. Maybe JD stays away from 5th floor windows for a while.
What's the over/under on years it takes for America to recover?
Because of their incursion. See: Trump, Chicago.
Yeah, guys wearing masks are always most likely to admit mistakes.
It was rhetorical.
* TRUMP REVOKES KAMALA HARRIS' SECRET SERVICE PROTECTION -- CNN @reuters.com
Third rate property developer, not a lawyer, files criminal referrals? Then acts as judge and jury, "Three strikes and you're out"?
Don’t look away
What do we call it when the government deliberately denies us health care?
NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.
Seems related: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...
RFK is cutting us off from vaccines.
I would call this the dumbest thing I've ever heard, but it's outweighed by being the most dangerous thing I've ever heard.
Johnson will find some way to cancel this.
The Trump administration plans to deploy more than 200 Homeland Security officers to a naval installation outside of Chicago to start an immigration enforcement campaign in the city.
That's my Congressman. Thanks!
The two victims of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting deserved to come home from their first week of school alive. Honor them by reading and sharing their stories. Give the shooter #NoNotoriety.
Faith moves mountains. But bring a shovel.
Hmmm...I consider Trump's normalizing the "F" word his single contribution to modern political discourse.
They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
Trump‘s tariffs are irreparably harming US manufacturers.
Hero.
The CDC debacle appears to be a direct result of RFK Jr's announcement that access to the COVID vax will be limited, bypassing the normal process for vax approvals, disregarding established science, and overriding the opposition of the public health community. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...
Agreed. And are tariffs the default solution to EVERYTHING?
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Making clear there is still accountability in this country is so critical. If unchecked for four years, the damage could last for decades.
Trump needs to implement the immediate and obvious response. Raise tariffs on India to 100%.
"Gabbard didn’t know the CIA officer had been working undercover, according to a person familiar with the fallout from the list’s release. Three other people with knowledge of the situation said that Gabbard’s office didn’t meaningfully consult with the CIA before releasing the list."
His entire family warned us ....and against confirming him.
Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
I'm ashamed.
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.
@gorskon.bsky.social
Trump's DOGE cronies put YOUR Social Security data on an unsecured cloud server. Now, 300 million Americans are vulnerable to identity theft & could even lose benefits. This is a reckless failure. They must be held accountable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
You want the Nobel Prize Donald? Get serious about gun control. Your base will be pissed. You don't care. You despise them. Congress will balk, for about 15 minutes. Then just tell them how high to jump. Your cabinet will question you? HAHAHAH.
Despicable.
MTV bit player says what?
Cruelty is the idea. wapo.st/3Jy4ptv
Cruelty is the feature.
Trump administration moves to bar states and even private (!) nonprofits, such as Red Cross, from helping undocumented immigrants after disasters. Evil. s2.washingtonpost.com/4467742/68af...
He's a magician. Higher costs with a weaker economy.
8/27/05: Two days before landfall. #Katrina is embroiled in an eyewall replacement as it begins its turn to the northwest, causing the storm's max winds to plateau and min pressure to fluctuate. As the process was concluding by late evening, its TS-force wind field had roughly doubled in size.
