This kind of corruption is as brazen as it gets. Trump is easily the most corrupt President in our country's history. Yet Republicans in Congress are not lifting a single finger to exercise basic oversight. Shameless complicity.

This kind of corruption is as brazen as it gets. Trump is easily the most corrupt President in our country's history. Yet Republicans in Congress are not lifting a single finger to exercise basic oversight. Shameless complicity.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Been fighting long covid for about 8 weeks and I completely get it. Showing is an event I save my strength for. Once achieved, I dry of and nap. Dry my hair and nap. Hang up the damp towel & nap. Wake, proud of my accomplishment and nap some more.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Background from @lawfaremedia.org on the limits of Title 32, Section 502(f): "If a ... president were to ... ask governors to send unfederalized Guard personnel into a nonconsenting stateâas opposed to a non-state jurisdiction like D.C.âthat deployment would violate the Constitution."
No, in fact he has not settled 7 wars.
Pritzker: "We've gathered information from unauthorized, patriotic officials inside the government and from-sourced reporters about Donald Trump's plan, which is to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago."
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Pritzker on Trump's plan for Chicago: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pritzker: "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
We've already become a 3rd world coultry. Ask our neighbors.
I liked him better when we thought he might be dead.
So he's gonna take his ball and go elsewhere? Since when does the president of a country act like an 8 yr old with a grudge?
How long are we going to discuss whether a man with strong Nazi tendencies might be a Nazi? He's a nazi.
It's totally "a political thing". Trump, a man with any moral core, has no obligation to anyone but himself.
Party that hates black people. Hakeem: "Where can we meet in the middle?"
Hakeem Jeffries is out of his depth. He's playing a game with different rules than the game in which the rest of us are engaged. Wake up, Hakeem.
If you have one Nazi at a table and nine other people sitting around the table trying to "find common ground with the Nazi," how many Nazis do you have?
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
NEW: We reached a landmark agreement with an Oklahoma county court that ends the county's practice of jailing people because they can't afford bail. Freedom shouldn't hinge on how much money you have.
Goodman once was Giuliani's attorney. He was jailed then pardoned by Gov. Hochul in NY. Nice crowd the former mayor, now disbarred piece of trash, runs around with.

As you might expect, most of the questions are boring âWhat are the first 3 words of the Constitution?â -> We The People âWhat is the national anthem of the US?â -> The Star-Spangled Banner I promise, anyone who can make it through teacher certification anywhere in the US already knows that
Also if you get any question wrong, it just lets you try again There is no way to fail Itâs not really a âtestâ itâs more of a âpush pollâ
First, the test asks for your full name, phone number, MAILING ADDRESS, and begs you for donations to PragerU Obviously I filled in fake ones but this is not an entirely philanthropic venture from Mr. Prager (Who does not run any kind of university, it just has U in the name to make you think it)
You'd have to be blind bot to see that and other grifts he's running at the same time.
âLIKE A BROKEN RECORDâ Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trumpâs lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago â even as đşđ¸ media wouldnât.
𧾠Nine former CDC directors, who served under both Republican and Democratic administrations, are raising the alarm: RFK Jr.âs firing of CDC Director Susan Monarez and the exodus of top officials mark a cynical turn that threatens the core of U.S. public health. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: â˘admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states â˘abolish ICE â˘grant citizenship to any immigrant â˘disband the 5th Circuit â˘expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?

22 year old man whose previous experience is a grocer. The header of counter terrorism. MAGA is Affirmative Action for Mediocre White Men
RFK jr's cult beliefs in no way supersedes anyone's right to prevent death or disease in their self or their family. Full Stop.
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. đ¤ Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
I am also of that mindset. They saved millions possibly billions of lives.
Andrew's childhood failures and bad behavior along with being sent away to school are remarkably similar to Trump's childhood. Of course no Royals in Queens NY. But the behaviors are so close. And they had Jeffrey Epstein in common.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
WRONG AGAIN. Trump is a legit sociopath. Here's the Mayo Clinic definition:
CHICAGO IS IN THE STREETS! #LaborDay #DefendHigherEd #WorkersOverBillionaires
And they're so well color coordinated. I love that.
Musk doesn't have to do/say anything to drive more people away. The app is falling apart. We still use it to check on certain accounts periodically and every time something weird happens like blank posts, broken search, etc. People can hang on all they want, but it is a sinking ship
relieved and at the same time worried for what ELSE is coming.
Trump always has a few wayward strands of that stanky comb-over sticking out of his cap. This isn't like him. Unless he's just not bothering with the whole combover, hairspray routine.
A weekend of medical testing. Heard from unnamed source he had a proper going-over or by specialists at hospital WH. Heart, lungs, kidneys, swelling, venous insuffiency & reasons behind them. Liver tests, spleen, nerve conduction, etc. We'll see Tues if he's back in Oval & with his FOX team.

Could be.
UPDATE: The indefatigable Judge Sooknanan orders DOJ to file an update when the last 4 children have been returned to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
NEW: 72 of the 76 Guatemalan children previously boarded onto planes have been returned to ORR custody, per DOJ, with the remaining 4 expected to be returned in the next 15 min. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I thought there were hundreds on that plane what happened to the rest of them?
We don't, but a number of the children who were named plaintiffs had been in foster care in California, so it's possible they're being flown cross-country
Iâm here in Mississippi teaching at a public school. Unfortunately, the knuckledraggers have the megaphone, but dear god the rest of us are trying and need your help
With legal challenges to this law pending, we cannot justify building the expensive required infrastructure. For now, we have made the difficult decision to block access in Mississippi. To learn more, read our blog post:
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
A bunch of them had originally been transported to TX from California
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.
At Union Station, veterans play a speech from General Mark Milley warning soldiers of the threat that President Trump poses.
He didnât help anyone. It was a lie. bsky.app/profile/mari...
His former lawyer who was granted clemency by Gov. Hochul?
the NH police account makes it sounds like the domestic violence call was totally separate from guilianiâs crash, which occurred on the other side of the highway? www.nhsp.dos.nh.gov/news-and-med...
That's a BS story if I ever hear one. And I've heard plenty.
If you know the real Giuliani story, please send the scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social
Who's Theodore Goodman of Michigan?
I predict that the govt is going to use the excuse that it hasn't yet officially made an "appearance" in the court / filing system, so it isn't getting electronic updatesâbut whose fault is that
NEW: Judge Sooknanan now orders the govt to explain why it has failed to meet her 4 p.m. ET deadline to give a status update on the Guatemalan children who are supposed to be removed from planes and returned to Office of Refugee Resettlement custody.
Apparently someone drove into his car. But was he stopped legally? Who knows... was he sober, it's doubtful. He was in a rental car in New Hampshire.
Pity and sympathy. That's all they want. If they're not hurting someone else, they need the public to feel sorry for them. I thought he was supposed to appear in an active court case this coming week. This sounds pretty timely to me.
#ClaudeHaddad #JeanLucBrunel #EpsteinFiles Claude Haddad, Jean-Luc Brunel model assoc. rapist & sex-trafficker
I don't know where he got the cocaine & other drugs, but it was a pattern that continued for decades. Same with Trump's parties. The lady, Eileen Ford, was genuinely unaware of what was happening at the time. And canceled her association with Brunel after he was discovered.

Judge Sooknanan has ordered the Trump admin not to deport any members of the class of Guatemalan children while she is hearing the case
So.... he HAD the "privilege" of going to Epstein's island, afterall.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administrationâs actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Netflix co-founder and Democratic megadonor Reed Hastings has given $2 million to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaignâs outsize stakes.

Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
She must be blind.
Judge Sooknanan: Great, so your understanding is that all children are still in the country, even if a plane took off and landed again DOJ: Correct
DOJ: I have transmitted your order both to TK and to DHS, and I don't believe there will be an issue. Judge: Have any flights departed? DOJ: My understanding is that all flights are on the ground. Judge: Is it possible that any flights department? DOJ: It's possible one took off and returned
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Sparkle Sooknanan holds an emergency hearing as the Trump admin is reportedly tryingâimminentlyâto deport hundreds of Guatemalan children without required process or access to representation. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71240...
Weâre all Laura around Greg Abbot. Probably why we stay away from him.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
He wonât let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness. Dems should polarize this debate to the max. Thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
"In short, if Trump and Kennedy are going to divide the country over public health, Democrats should polarize the living heck out of this debate as wellâbut on *their* terms." YES
Pay ATTENTION.
Pfizer has a consumer hotline. You can try them directly. They might even have coupons (printable) for discounts. Not certain they extended those discounts. 1 (800) 879-3477 Good luck.
There were protests at ONE Federal building in LA and this woman is suggesting the entire city is crime infested thanks to all the immigrants that she is promising to eradicate. Racism, lies, and fear is all they have to offer us.
