She’s taunting and defiant as reported in that article anyway. Going after kids is wrong but since she’s lied about the status of the Koreans at the plant, I’m not sure I believe her on anything
Occam’s Razor says the simplest answer? Trump’s a raging ball of grievances and hate. He hates GA Gov Kemp who touts that plant as a major accomplishment. He hates the new South Korean prime minister. He hates EVs. I also don’t think he considers diplomatic long term damage when exacting revenge
Most Russians are solidly behind Putin on his bloodthirsty invasion of Ukraine. I don’t have any pity at all for them
Even if they get Adams out and consolidate behind Cuomo, Mamdani still wins
I encourage people to watch this video. The selected footage shows the professor doing nothing even slightly out of line, whereas the student misinterprets the law and hopes to impose her religious beliefs on the material. Administrators caving to this is terrifying.
What a sick joke. A loud swath of Americans made child sex trafficking their top issue, said powerful figures were covering it up. A wealth child sex trafficker gets caught, the president was obviously involved with his crimes and trying to cover it up, and the anti-pedophiles like and defend him.
The guy’s from Virginia. He can fuck off
I’m super tired so bear (heh) with me but what is BPA?
I doubt the feds will abide by it but Mayor Johnson signed an order that they can’t wear masks and must have their badge and ID prominently displayed www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...
The only legal principle SCOTUS is operating under right now is King Trump’s word is law and racism is OK, actually.
BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."
I mean what on earth are district court judges supposed to do at this point other than get the message from SCOTUS to let Trump do whatever he wants to no matter what the law says.
The Crimson, scooping every news outlet not run by undergraduates working in between classes, gets into how court orders mandating return of research funding have been flaunted, and makes a clear case for contempt proceedings against DOGE officials. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
Guessing Tom Hanks will take this as (another) badge of honor
The Supreme Court is now directly overturning generations of precedent via the shadow docket.
Gov Pritzker and Mayor Johnson have been relentlessly messaging that any National Guard and military presence is illegal. They’ve been united and fierce. This is the formula for all other blue states?
I know dating apps are reporting that Harris voters are not simpatico with men who voted for Trump, but this really outlines the reasons why they won’t match
NYT: JPMorgan officials “warned senior management about his suspicious activities. But on at least four occasions over five years, the bank’s leaders overrode those objections and continued to serve Epstein.” @nytimes.com $JPM @davidenrich.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/m...
I thought pharmaceuticals were exempted from tariffs?
The unfortunate flip side is 73% of Republicans are satisfied, happy or thrilled with his bullshit and the current state of things
Johnson finally realizes that an informant is also a criminal who was participating in the crimes which is how they have firsthand knowledge to give the FBI.

How does Usha fit in? Or are the flashes of disrespect we’ve caught glimpses of indicative of how he privately treats her?
When the government tried to summarily deport dozens of migrant children to Guatemala last weekend, DOJ’s Drew Ensign said the following to a federal judge: “All of these children have their parents or guardians in Guatemala who are requesting their return." 🧵 www.lawfaremedia.org/article/emer...
BREAKING: Trump makes his first appearance at the US Open. There were audible boos and a few light claps. Important to stress the stadium is at most 10% full and the start time has been pushed to 2:30pm ET.
White Christian Taliban shit right here. Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. It’s a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. They’re not just going to hand back power.)
He’s a bundle of grievance, rage, and revenge. I have a hard time understanding anything he does tbh - it’s an utterly foreign way of thinking for me
Trump hates the new South Korean prime minister and he hates Brian Kemp. He probably just saw a way to strike at both of them without ever thinking about the long term investment damage.
Deal
He absolutely knows we need to vax everyone that can be vaxed to reach herd immunity to protect the most vulnerable people in society. Biology 101
Fucking misogynist 🤬
Anybody other protesters know where I can get some of that Soros cash? Can’t seem to locate how you tap into it 😏
A soft secession of blue states is already starting (vax issues, abortion rights, ICE resistance, trans rights) that’s only going to accelerate
Hassett now falls out of contention for Fed Chair …
Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.
I know it’s conspiracy thinking but this is exactly what someone owned by Putin would be doing 😞
Just a horror show every day
Some timeline joy! ❤️
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
A perfect afternoon in Astoria.
We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...
Trump administration officials are perplexed by House Speaker Mike Johnson’s claims that Donald Trump was an FBI informant in the case against Jeffrey Epstein. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
That’s an IPad or other type of computer. Heard for years he doesn’t use those but here’s tangible proof (not that this gang will keep electronic records anyway)
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
What Epstein records have not been made public?
I have read Trump’s “war department” EO. This is nothing. He changed nothing. He added pretend secondary titles with no power under the law. He will make the government spend hundreds of millions for vanity labeling purposes. If you’re in the media and you don’t harp on that, you’re failing.
Nice schadenfreude here, Reuters dug up Bill Pulte's father & stepmother claiming two houses as their primary residence, and when Reuters asked Michigan about it, Michigan yanked their homestead exemption.
Looks like a vanilla charmless banquet hall patio. It’s got zero ambience
I just visited Naval Station Great Lakes that Trump is letting DHS use as they prepare to invade Chicago. The Navy cooperated and took the time to answer our questions. Trump’s DHS locked the doors and fled. That’s not how you act when you’re doing something legal.
DOJ will appeal to SCOTUS
1/3 Just so we are all clear on this. Based on what this former official "who has years of direct experience in fighting drug cartels" told the Times. The order to blow up the Venezuelan boat may have instead killed migrants who were being smuggled. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
He legit may not know anything. Cohen didn’t start working for Trump until 2006, after Trump’s supposed “falling out” with Epstein
I know. *Mike Johnson* just lied and said Trump never called it a hoax
in which Mike Johnson claims that Donald Trump was an FBI informant to take down Epstein
Like a good Handmaiden. Her husband can decide what she needs to know
Didnt you hear the man? Trump never said it was a hoax! That’s the new talking point. Keep up!
Priorities.
Oh I can do this. Rural IL farmer here. My fears going into Chicago: 1) Parking fees. ‘Nuff said 2) Landing in someone’s photo of the Millennium Park Bean and I’m distorted into blimp size. 3) Walking under the L when the train is passing overhead. Super scary
In just one paragraph, he complains that “females” are whiny bitches, babies, and little fuckers. Men are not lonely enough yet
Pentagon Official: Trump Boat Strike Was a Criminal Attack on Civilians A current DoD official and many military legal experts say the U.S. attack on a boat in the Caribbean near Venezuela broke international law. theintercept.com/2025/09/05/p...
It’s wild we’re even in a conversation about which country Trump is going to invade... smdh
You now live in a country where if you support an idea like "Trans people should have equal legal rights" or "Black people suffer from the effects of discrimination," your government will openly persecute you, including by firing you if you work for it, and even looking for ways to prosecute you.
Are we sure this is an operation aimed at Venezuela after Trump said he wanted to “take back” the Panama Canal?
Too early still to call a recession for the US, but things are unequivocally headed in that direction. If this continues for another quarter, the answer is "yes."
Racism, bigotry and grievance binds the cult.
The percentage of Americans who "strongly disapprove" of the job Trump is doing as POTUS is 2x as large as the % who "strongly approve" This is a pretty bearish signal for the GOP in this year's off-yr elections. & this is why he's trying to rebrand the OBBB www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-str...
Can someone in the legacy media explain to me how this is not front page news? How is it that only Democracy Docket is covering this unfolding authoritarian takeover? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Putin’s bitch really coming through for his master

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want. It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.
Hateful. I hope the state of California snaps up this excellent doctor. Her patients need her right there, right now
Anybody still believe the military won’t shoot protesting Americans
Are the Seal Team members coming forward now because another stupid op is being planned for Mexico or Venezuela?
This is a deeply reported, heart-pounding read Gift link ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...
Wow "Flashlights from the bow swept over the water. Fearing that they had been spotted, the SEALs opened fire. Within seconds, everyone on the North Korean boat was dead."
Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.
Make the corrupt six irrelevant
Fuck this handmaiden. Pack the courts
A quick bit of journalism reveals that at least three members of Trump's cabinet claimed more than one property as their primary residence, and I'm starting to wonder whether Trump's attacks on Lisa Cook reflect a sincere concern about mortgage fraud. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
If her scorn for this niece/child is an example of the “love” she may have bestowed upon her own child, it’s truly divine intervention preventing her from becoming a mother
DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."
Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in
RFK: "It's the biggest infusion of federal dollars into rural healthcare in American history." Sen. Bernie Sanders: "You know why? Because you're cutting $150 billion for rural hospitals and putting $50 billion back. That's not an infusion — that's a loss of $100 billion."
Let's roll the tape
In my view, Amy Coney Barrett kicking off her book tour by doing a sold-out event with Bari Weiss and publishing an exclusive excerpt in The Free Press should end the "Supreme Court justices are not motivated by ideology" discourse once and for all ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
The fact that the term "Death Squads" is not yet in use in relation to MAGA's strategic goals for much of the Western Hemisphere is a testament to how so many American analysts and journalists still can't get their heads around what is unfolding right in front of them in Washington
DOJ is openly stating that "trannies shouldn't have guns." The Trump administration is moving to strip trans people of their 2nd amendment rights. Nothing good ever comes out of an authoritarian regime stripping a minority group of owning guns.
Hilarious the Louisiana Gov and Senators are now asking Trump to federalize the Guard to take over New Orleans like supplicant subjects should. Let's remember. The Gov can do this any day of the week. That's what the Guard is. A state militia. Asking Trump to federalize them is some weird GOP kink.
Any trans people in red states need to be getting to a blue state at minimum, and preferably out of the country if they can afford it. This is going bad so fast 😬
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
Can't find a single thing wrong with this...
