“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the 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: "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."
We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
sorry i missed your big announcement, are you still dead
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.
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
Did Donald die?! Watch with God and Jesus now!
They have his ass LOADED up!
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
Trump Claims Bizarre White House Window Video Is ‘AI-Generated’ — Even After Spox Confirms It as Authentic

If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas

Party preparation is ever so important. - Make your Playlist. - Save that pizza place number in your phone. - Keep a variety of drinks on hand - Send out rsvps - Wait for him to die.
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
Honestly I’ve thought this for a long time, but I’m just now saying it. It’s not the social media platform that suck it’s the people behind the phones/computers using the social media sites. You can’t blame everything toxic on a social media application when you’ve got assholes.

How will you feel when you wake up one day and learn that he died overnight by choking on a hot dog? 🌭
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
Your next task is to finish a video game before you start another.
Drug deaths in the U.S. are at their lowest level since March 2025, according to federal data. Trump continues to cite fentanyl as justification for policies ranging from tariffs to immigration.
Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Not sure why everyone is doubting Giuliani’s spokesman’s story it sounds totally plausible and not suspicious at all
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
California stepping up.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.

Fox News TOTALLY LOSES IT on AIR over Trump HEALTH CRISIS
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
This is a layup because even in the shadow of the Covid protocol excesses, vaccination generally is still popular and most people understand keeping food safe and reducing treatable contagious disease to a minimum.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
Yikes, JD Vance better hope JD Vance doesn’t hear about this!
What if the National Guard was sent to DC because the WH had reason to believe street parties would soon break out.
Way to go! Thats a rough procedure, and you are a seriously one tough person!
"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.

Lovebird collects paper strips and tuck them between their tail feathers to transport back to the nest as building material.
Many people are saying that Trump died.
Fine. I'll just take that he was missing for a couple days as good news. He's not well. And I don't care who's backing him -- JD will never command this cult.
Seriously.
The past 12 hours gave all of us a sense of just how huge the nationwide celebration will be when he finally does kick the bucket. 🎉🥳🎊
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities
The very rich Peter Thiel is behind a lot of the destruction of pur democracy going on right now, and he thinks the rest of us little people are just in his way.
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
I wonder how Chump will try to distract from this. Invade Chicago probably. Let Fox cover Chicago. Everyone else pay respect to the victims.
If he is dying, I hope it hurts, and I hope he's scared.
As well as the NRA gun lobby and a couple of thousand 2A gun nuts
Jesse talks about a callous statement from Karoline Leavitt regarding one of her predecessors, Jen Psaki, for showing too much empathy, grief, and compassion for the victims and families of mass shootings in America. youtu.be/nuwWxqAnW-Y?...
😕
Garcia: “We finally heard from the Epstein estate. They’ve agreed to provide the actual Epstein book, along with other documents that haven’t been made public yet.”
CHICAGO…
ICE will probaby try to blend in with trick-or-treaters this year.
I hope he is reading how many people are hoping he’s gone for good
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

Let that sink in.
"The mainstream press is still in self-flagellation mode over how they purportedly 'ignored' Biden’s decline. (In reality, they never stopped talking about.) But this soul-searching is apparently only backward looking and exclusive to Democratic presidents." — @playtyperguy.com
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Their priority is to assert their authority
What a week. So much noise. Anxiety. Pressure. Nothing like a morning hike to cleanse the bad vibes.
What a perfect day.
it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine

Nuns from a convent outside Waco have repeatedly visited the women on Texas’s death row—and even made them affiliates of their order. Lawrence Wright reports on a powerful spiritual alliance.
Currently taking in a great Mountain View on a nice hike away from the noise and impending doom. HBU?
