Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.
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.

He’s got resting Manning face though. That gene is dominant.
The pentagon is reinstating an image of Robert E. Lee AND AN ENSLAVED PERSON. He was a traitor responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. He was a slave owner. Explain this without using the phrases “white supremacy” and “racism”
Powerful piece by @markhertling.bsky.social. “I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
True - but gotta ask. Also not sure what rules are in place that would allow teams to cut players at this late date in order to create space given the final rosters were already announced (I think)
I just don’t get how every team in the league wasn’t trying to get him once it became clear the thought of trading him was being entertained.
Leader Schumer is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired. "By keeping Robert Kennedy in charge of HHS, Trump is doubling down on his own failure. President Trump must admit his mistake and remove Kennedy now."
more i am asking nicely
Happy birthday to Jack Kirby.
Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? “Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”
“.. I don’t know of any case, at least in my lifetime, of the government taking equity in a company simply because it could.” @steverattner.bsky.social @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
You are absolutely failing in the moment.
I think we are in year four of absolutely uninspiring effort. I looked at the roster in week one and couldn’t believe the names still on there. New blood please.
I haven’t heard the phrase “police call” in a long time - definitely got a chuckle from me. Yes, it probably is the least surprising thing. I’d love to be hearing what those soldiers are muttering to each other.
Stephen Miller has always been the dude who is unhinged by the fact that other people are allowed to disagree with him, even women and black people
Repost for the evening crowd! We’ve had a great first day of support, and this train’s just getting started. If you want to send a message to cowardly Republicans and Dems alike, well, I’m all out of fucks to give. Let’s win this race and actually fight for our democracy and *everyone* in it.
A pardon. @wutangforchildren.bsky.social
Bob Clark, VP of marketing for Herr Foods, Inc., said the company was surprised to see it was mentioned in the press. “While we can’t speak to the details of the story,” he said, “we can confirm that our Sour Cream & Onion flavor is money.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/21/w...
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
I just don’t get how changing your logo to something even more vanilla makes you woke.
Omg, JD Vance getting heckled by people yelling ‘COUCH F*CKER’ as he visits Union Station to survey Trump’s militarization of D.C.
One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.
one guy even tried to give us a sandwich
truly unreal. he's the guy who buys a lap dance and thinks the stripper and he had a deep connection
Here's a version that was archived. archive.org/details/60-m...
if sandwiches are outlawed, only outlaws will have sandwiches
Taking photos and video of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public is our constitutional right. This includes police, FBI, National Guard troops, ICE agents, and other government officials.
Pretty fucking shameful.
I've seen people either saying, Oh corny. Or, oh he's just running for President. And my thought is, AWESOME. Let the 2028 Dem Prez primary be about who can fight against Trump and for our democracy and our rights the most effectively and aggressively and let it begin today.
ICYMI, the eye-popper in today's PPI: a 39% rise in wholesale fresh vegetable prices. It's the largest month-on-month increase ever recorded in the summer (data to 1947), and one of the ten largest ever, regardless of season. With the estimable @alexjamesfitz.com www.axios.com/2025/08/14/i...
👏👏👏
Grok, I left my dick in my pants and went peepee, but the peepee didn't reach the toilet. What happened to the peepee? And why are my pants wet?
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

For those who were hopeful that Trump “pivoted” on Ukraine, the meeting in Alaska will sell Ukraine down the river. Trump is scared to death of Putin. Taco
Over on Twitter, Mark Halperin is disparaging me in an effort to get people to listen to his podcast, so here's a story that is worth remembering.
Donald Trump doesn’t want you to read this article. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.
Andrew Yang has devolved into a bullshit artist and his quote is bullshit too. As an attorney at a big firm, I can tell you that nobody (at least nobody that cares about their reputation) is operating under the misguided belief that AI can generate quality briefing.
Truly the Epstein party
Epstein’s monstrous crimes were no “hoax.” The survivors, some whose identities have been revealed (unlike the men who abused them), will carry unimaginable suffering to their graves. govt's argument—“There’s nothing here" is preposterous and unacceptable. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
I mean, even calling it a “question” seems ludicrously generous. She’s a convicted sex trafficker whose one slim hope of not dying in prison is to please and serve her dear old friend Donald Trump. She’ll say whatever fabricated nonsense he wants. She’d be mad not to.
It’s taken like two fulls days for them to get behind springing Epstein’s *only known, confirmed and convicted accomplice in sexually abusing middle school girls*

Trump: ‘We Could Argue All Day About Who Is Or Isn’t A Child Rapist’
No wonder the Pedophile Protection Party shut Congress down early.
Our beautiful president has taxed the poor, sent troops to stomp through playgrounds in California, opened up concentration camps, doubled the price of seemingly random goods for no discernible reason, and bombed a foreign country just to do it. And yet these ungrateful peasants are unhappy?
Imagine living a life of such depravity that the only way you can avoid prison is to become President and corrupt the entire legal system.
"I'm Donald Trump's 27th sexual assault victim... Jeffrey Epstein walked me into his office to be sexually assaulted by him." — Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Stacey Williams in February 2025
Donald Trump's modeling agency operated illegally using young women with no right to work in the US, some of whom say he molested them, per the article below and a Guardian expose. There are many angles to pursue the allegations that Trump is a child rapist. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
A party with only him and Epstein COME ON MAN
I feel like this story needs to recirculate now..... www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
“One of the young women who later said Epstein groomed and abused her was recruited into his world while working as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago. Another accuser recalled being eyed by Trump during a brief encounter in Epstein’s office, and claimed that Epstein had told Trump ‘she’s not for you.’”
Yiiiiiikes
Part 3 www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...
Part 2 www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...
You can read all the retrospectives about Epstein running now. But to really understand the case, go right to the @jkbjournalist.bsky.social series in the @miamiherald.com that ran 7 years ago (and for completely inexplicable reasons, never won a Pulitzer). www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...
What an important point by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social back in February and ever more relevant. "Pam Bondi was Florida's attorney general 2011-2109 ... So questions should be asked about why she didn't take up the [Epstein] case -- or launch a probe -- when she was attorney general in Florida."
i've given this a lot of thought and considered all the circumstances and here is my conclusion: fuckin lmao
I was in Vegas and I find gambling boring so I went on a group hike in Red Rock Canyon. On the way back the guide said you can just walk in to bungee jump off the Stratosphere. So I did. When I got in line the guy right in front of me who jumped right before me was @flavorflav.bsky.social
Donald Trump thinks you're stupid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oibZ...
Shane Gillis, hosting the ESPYS: “Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here but I guess it got deleted. Must have probably deleted itself right? Probably never existed, actually. Let’s move on as a country and ignore that.”
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”
NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care. “Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"
2/3 of the people in DeSantis' concentration camp in the Everglades have no criminal background and some are in the US legally, seeking asylum. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Got damn
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
Brilliant. 🔥
A local NYC baseball coach says he fended off ICE agents during a recent practice. Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer! Shoutout all of our local heroes!
NEW from me — I wrote about FEMA Acting Administrator David Richardson, who has been completely silent and out of view since deadly floods devastated Texas last week, and spoke to staffers about what it's like to respond to a disaster with no leader. Read here:
So good! My family has gone through multiple packages. Our closest grocery store actually sold out of them.
That whole crew would definitely run into a problem trying to cross the Bridge of Death in Monty Python’s holy grail movie.
His sports commentary on ESPN was awful too - at the time I thought he belonged on Fox News. Looks like that was always his goal.
It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”
With or without documentation, simply due to skin color.

“They took my cousin. He informed them he is a US citizen and his passport was in his pocket. We don’t know where they took him.” This isn’t about deporting undocumented immigrants this is about going after people who are not white!
Darkly hilarious.
