Iām sorry, WHAT?
It's his imagination and we're just lucky to be living in it.
POPE LEO: āLet us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.ā He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and āthe countless children killed and injured every day around the worldā
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be āexplosive,ā one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victimsā accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Naturally, Republicans and MAGA have only smears. They have nothing relevant to the legal arguments in the case. What is remarkable to me is that so many people in this country think a smear (and it doesnāt matter if itās false) is an argument worthy of entertaining.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
ICE, the police, and the National Guard are now committing crimes in DC.
Iām trying to be objective, but I have to say that for at least the last 2-3 months, Trump has looked ill to me.
Congratulations, everyone! According to the President, we have paid the government $15 trillion more dollars than we already have paid in taxes.
Republicans: āStop making everything about race.ā Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.
This is the kind of messaging that should be one of Dems talking points that they should all know and deliver as necessary. Unified messagingāon this and many other issues. If Rs can do it, so can Dems. Otherwise, Dems will continue to be drown out by Rs.
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because heās āafraid of nothing.ā

Trump is really angry about the tariff ruling. And he still doesnāt understand tariffs.
I wouldnāt trust Trump to follow through on any promises.
ABC is still traumatized by the lawsuit they stupidly settled.
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.
Heās trying to compete with Gavin Newsonās satirical depictions. Trump is so insecure, he has to compete with satire.
The president does not care at all about us. He shows us that every day.
We need a dictator to put billionaires in charge, right? Because thatās what will happen And the dictator will get a cut.
I canāt imagine why this is being polled with so much going on in this country. Iāve gotten to the point where when anyone mentions a poll I turn the channel or move on to the next email.
Iām serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trumpās first tariff blunder. Itās so irresponsible to ignore this.
Now we need to be protected from DHS and the police and the national guard. Can citizens call in the marines or the army to protect us from these entities? We should have something on our side.
Delusions of grandeur.
War is peace.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in schoolā¦
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpracticeāwhen you pray for something you have the power to change.
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in governmentākeep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
Note that Stephen Miller just called Democrats domestic terrorists. And yetā¦ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Maybe Josh Hawley can point out that more Republican seats in the house will mean fewer people able to receive Medicaid.
He makes me want to throw up.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
If I remember correctly, Trump tried this for a short time during his first term. Miller even went on the Sunday shows once or twice. He was freely mocked. I wonder if heās the test for how much weāve gotten used to the Adminās policies of radical cruelty.
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They arenāt leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
Things that make you go hmm...
And also: www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
And looking sharp doing it, too.
You would think that documenting these effects - on farms, in meat-packing plants, in the garment industry, and restaurants would be a popular beat for reporters in MSM.
I agree. There were people warning about this if there were mass deportations even before the election. I do not understand why MSM is not informing the public.
People resign because of isolation and pressure. So keep applying pressure and make him a liability to Trump.
I interpret it as Trumpās need for vengeance against the medical and scientific establishment because he humiliated himself during Covid, and he blames them. He was perfectly willing to let people endanger themselves and possibly die during Covidāduring a time when people were dying horrible deaths.
Joe Bidenās no longer president so the media has moved on from caring about such things Much like inflation and budget deficits
And Trump will soon be working on making sex trafficking and pedophilia great. Not too big a leap for someone found liable for sexual assault who still hasnāt paid damages.
TRUMP IS AMERICAāS BIGGEST LOSER.
Itās time for that George Clooney Op-Ed expressing concern about Trumpās healthā¦
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Corporate Americaās playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
Another dangerous crank. And if we Americans really want to change our government we need to get money out of politics, not get over our fear of dictators. What an idiot. If Vance really agrees with this guy, then heās a dangerous crank, too.
Memphis, Houston, and Kansas City all have more violent crime than DC, but the National Guard isnāt there because theyāre in red states. Itās a show of force and, more so, a distraction. Trump wants us talking about anything other than his collapsing health and Jeffrey Epstein.
Maybe it was just someone dressed up to be Trump.
Couch man has all the charisma of a turd. I wonder how the radical right will try to make him palatable.
Weāve been lied to our whole lives. The maps we grew up with shrink Africa down, making it look so much smaller than it really is. The truth: Africa is massive. You can fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside itāand still have room left over.

Oh manā¦ this is hysterical. Canada is giving Gavin Newsom a free plane? šš š¤£
Absolutely, we will. And Iām sure in there somewhere Trump will get a cut.
šYou'd think children being literally being gunned down while they pray, would end this grotesque "thoughts and prayers" response by Republicans to the ongoing slaughter of our children. šIt hasn't, and they are still defending the guns, and not our children. šThey are really terrible people.
Completely agree that he is a dangerous crank. Itās so obvious that the GOP has to engage in cult indoctrination tactics to convince people otherwise.
Canāt the Supreme Court rule they are illegal going forward to avoid the mess?
Millerās obvious sadism and sociopathy are now being applied to our health and medical care, in addition to the immigration cruelties. He and RFK, Jr. are yet another of Trumpās f-u message to the country. Trump & Miller bonded over the sadism. They will enjoy hearing about our suffering.
Good point.
I can hardly wait to see Newsomās comms dept post about thisš¤š
Obvious to all of us who werenāt trying to rationalize his irrational actions. Glad to see the court agrees.
Maybe Vance and Trump could set an example of always expressing gratitudeābefore expecting it from others. The president and vice president are supposed to be role models.
We're so far into fascism that Trump announcing a social credit system for American corporations went largely unnoticed. www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...
This!š
Mental health programs do not work very well. They will not end violence. Gun control, monitoring online behavior, dealing with online radicalization, etc., will help far more. āMental health problemsā is a meaningless phrase burped up by politicians who are in bed with the gun industry.
Maybe Red state governors are sending their national guard to DC because theyād be safer there picking up trash than patrolling their own murder capitals.
They are disappearing undesirables. They are deploying the military into cities. And now they are trying to commandeer railway stations. I canāt put my finger on it but this sounds familiar.
Iām not sharing this to scare peopleāthough itās fucking terrifying. Iām sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We wonāt be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific backgroundā¦
Yet another Republican politician with delusional disorder. Itās an epidemic.
Maybe the media could check with former presidents to see if they ever experienced that type of bruising from hand shaking.
Mike Johnson will go down in history as the white supremacist Christian nationalist Speaker of the House who attempted to cover up a pedophilic criminal regime and replace US democracy with a fascist dictatorship.
No one voted for this.
So itās like adding an insurance company to Medicare. Incentivized denial of coverageāa term used for not providing medical care to a sick person. Not only will people not receive medical care in the richest country in the world, it will reduce the number of hospitals, clinics, doctors, and others.
Solidarity. Strength in numbers.
Trump and Kari Lake lose on their effort to remove the Director of Voice of America.
Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? āCan you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Letās not fight against the Confederacy. Letās just try to get along, and maybe one day theyāll give us our freedom?ā
Everyone rightfully giving RFK jr. shit for blaming SSRIs needs to take a moral inventory of themselves for using terms like, "insane," "psycho," "deranged," "unhinged," etc. when describing the perpetrators of mass violence. 1/2
Purposely misinterpreting Jen Psakiās statements about prayer. Jen Psaki was the only person I saw crying on air while talking about this tragedy. When I prayed about this issue, God told me the answer is strict gun control laws.
Why do we still allow people with serious mental illness to buy guns? Because the first law Republicans passed under Trump in 2017, made it easier. There were over 4,000 mass shootings between 2017-2024, and this country elected him again. If thatās not proof America is sick, I donāt know what is.
A group like antifa? What group? Were any of them arrested? Fact-free gaslighting.
As we all know, the United States is the only country on the planet where these drugs exist. It definitely has to be the drugs that we alone use. Canāt be something else.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America ā which we donāt currently have.
Even more ridiculous...all other nations deal with mental health issues but for some fucking reason they dont have mass shootings or make it easy for mental detectives to aquire fire arms like we do. Mericka!!
Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because itās beeping. Itās quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
Case study: Erdogan replaced technocrats with loyalists and kept rates low when they needed to rise. Inflation soared to 86%, and is still painfully high. Thatās the playbook Trump's floating. Keep the Fed independent if you want low inflation without the drama.
Ah yes, the famous Biden census of 2020ā¦ when Donald Trump was President.
Moskowitz is a prominent Democrat poking holes in Republican coverups for Trump. He is infamous on social media for dragging Comer. He put Floridians over politics to head up Floridaās emergency management. He routinely takes MOCs on the Parkland school shooting tour as he pushes for reform.
Anything but calling for an assault weapons ban. I canāt with this man.
Guns contribute to violence.
Trump was dangerous then and heās dangerous now. He provides no leadership and in fact wants to be begged to do his job.
The way I remember it, Tucker Carlson met with Trump and told him he needed to take Covid seriously. Seriously.
Elon isnāt sharing data. Heās feeding the same Great Replacement paranoia that fuels white nationalism. The mapās real story isnāt fertility rates. Itās inequality, poverty, healthcare, and exploitation. Racist panic dressed up as stats.
I guess for no reason at all, I'm reposting a piece I wrote two years ago, entitled "Republicans don't give a fuck about children."
Damn. RFK Jr is mentally ill with Delusional Disorder, and he is wrecking the U.S. healthcare system
