My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
Are you sure Oliver Darcy wasn't asking a chatbot?
Done
Tapper is only good at non-issues. Not real ones.
Perfect example of why media is fucked
Seems like as good a time as any to reshare my story on the Coffee County voting system breach, which details the key role Giuliani played in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...
This 🧵 is long so please bear with me. It is compiles evidence in a historical timeline on how effective #COVIDVaccines are. When a pandemic ends we quickly and easily forget the tools that got us out of it. So here is my labour day gift to you prompted by this headline.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
One thing they’ve been very successful at is making it so when sober experts put their careers and reputations on the line to issue grave warnings, it gets mostly a shrug.
Bluesky is now among and often *the* highest referer to @motherjones.com. That’s traffic that has been additive. Only Twitter has dipped btw, the rest as fairly steady state (and instagram impressions and video views on all platforms up enormously.)
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.
Leaked ‘Gaza Riviera’ plan dismissed as ‘insane’ attempt to cover ethnic cleansing www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
This would be, how you say? bad.
Remembering when the NYT went on a weeks-long bender covering a decades-old real estate deal the Clintons were involved in, in which they *lost money*.

Has Trump addressed the public yet?
Loves it and wants to share it with everyone.
The white half. It time to start saying what everyone knows. America has a White Nationalist problem, also known as the GOP.
Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
some white racists mad as hell today
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Holy fuck! 🫡🫡🫡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not only is no one coming to America to vacation, Trump has driven China, India, and Russia into each others arms. People in other democratic countries are recognizing America as a fascist authoritarian shithole, resembling 1930s Nazi Germany — and what's scary is, they're right.
Just basking once again in the wonder and glory of this one.
happy labor day!
people like Ro Khanna who continue to boast about being text buddies with this man are showing how little they give a shit about his white supremacy that goes for all the journalists who characterize him as a “troubled genius” or whatever
Question safety of birth control then restrict and outlaw it wherever possible. Exact same playbook they are using with vaccines.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
The only way to produce lasting peace in Ukraine is to defeat Russia, force it to return to 2014 borders and admit Ukraine into NATO and the EU. Anything less is likely simply to produce only a temporary pause before Russia attacks again.
People obsessed with this country's "heritage" are violently opposed to ever actually addressing its real heritage, so all they're left with are consumerism and symbols chosen for their plausible deniability. Imagine claiming the Cracker Barrel logo as your birthright.
Just listened to an episode of @techwontsave.us about this
New York, 35 years ago; and a thru line right to nation of today

JFC. Albertans, time to step up.
Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” 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.
Amen.
Interesting from someone who swept homeless camps because the next verse is : “Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?” – James 2:15-16
Thread BREAKING: A new 38 page proposal shows Trump & Netanyahu are openly planning to take over Gaza & turn it into a casino & tourism resort. Here are the horrid details, & yes all of this is a violation of international human rights law & further confirms Israel is committing genocide. 1/4
Trump's allegations against Lisa Cook are not the story. The story is that a Trump loyalist is deeply corrupting agency processes for the express purpose of manufacturing pretexts for referring Trump's leading enemies for DOJ prosecution. Dug into this process here: newrepublic.com/article/1996...
AP: “Florida could be on the hook for $218 million… Alligator Alcatraz may soon be completely empty as a judge upheld her decision late Wednesday ordering operations to wind down indefinitely…” apnews.com/article/flor...
I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
California stepping up.
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.
That was a political choice Americans made as they drove solo in their overssized SUVs. Americans seem to hate/fear community and communal services.
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
“Something clearly is up with the 79-year-old president, and the official explanations don’t make sense. That’s not surprising given that Trump is a world historical liar surrounded by toadies who surrendered their shame long ago. But it’s past time for reporters to ask some questions.”
There will be 10 survivors speaking on the 3rd.
Tesla paid $0 in taxes in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2024 despite reporting $6.7B in profit. SpaceX has likely paid little to no federal income taxes since 2002. Elon Musk’s net worth is $364B. Our tax laws are written to benefit billionaires. www.muskwatch.com/p/how-spacex...
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
Ashley Biden just posted this picture from this weekend with her father. Both look very happy.
The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.

This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
What a — excusez mon français, s’il te plait — a government shitshow of unfathomable proportions
A mother is filing a $1 million claim after her 15-year-old son was held at gunpoint by immigration goons in Los Angeles.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.

Wise advice to cities targeted or shall I say invaded by ICE Small towns are also seeing these unlawful kidnappings too Spread the word! All it takes to stop them is a few arrests Show the video to your local DA
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
I would love to know more about that process because I’m sure it’s totally above board.
I am going enjoy this 2017 bottle of Garland from the BC winery Hester Creek. It's a small batch Bordeaux styled red blend aged in French oak for two years.
Which in a court is just an admission of guilt.
the story is not just "Jon Gruden wrote emails about how Black people are stupid," it's "Jon Gruden wrote emails about how Black people are stupid, a belief he backed up by refusing to play Black QBs/hire Black coordinators for 15 years"
🚨WARNING🚨 🚨IF YOU LIVE IN CENTENNIAL, COLORADO, AND RECEIVE A LATTER FROM ICE TO "FORMALLY CHECK IN W AN OFFICER" - IT'S A TRAP BY ICE!!!!🚨 🚨DO NOT RESPOND IN ANY WAY!!!!🚨
This is phenomenal messaging. Hello Democrats? Knock knock, anybody home?
Good.
Oh I wouldn't worry. AI is about to take a massive legal and financial tumble that will make the Dotcom bust look quaint.
🧵 In the wake of numerous reports of interactions with AI chatbots that resulted in deadly consequences, the Center for Democracy & Technology's Dr. Michal Luria says AI firms should stop designing products that pretend to be human.
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
“.. Yes, it will be on the shelf,” he said, “but you’re not going to be able to find it at a pharmacy, that’s already happened. CVS, Walgreens, because of this confusion, they’re not going to stock it ..” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
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."
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Crime Spree in DC - Yes, this is a real event. No, it’s not sarcasm. Lmao. Your taxpayer dollars are at work.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
This hearing put them on notice. We all know that he is. They will never admit it though #USDemocracy
“The WH wants you to see its kitschy displays of the president and its militarization of the nation’s capital and conclude that the game is over and that they have already won. But as much as the situation might feel that way, it isn’t true.” @jamellebouie.net www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias
I’ve polled 40 students at my liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest. 60% report that they avoid AI chat bots like the plague. 75% report having a generally or strongly negative opinion about how AI will impact the future.
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
