Vance follows a coterie of online Nazis on X, has described Curtis Yarvin as a major intellectual influence, and openly attacks immigrants in blood and soil terms. The response of most of the political press? "Doesn't look like anything to me."

Christ.
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now
This is what a united front looks like -- nine former CDC directors who served under both Democratic and Republican presidents explain what's not normal about RFK Jr and how we all lose when he attacks science. Leaders in other fields need to unite against autocratic capture of their institutions.
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.

Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether itâs no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.

The Onionâs Exclusive Interview With Andrew Cuomo https://theonion.com/the-onions-exclusive-interview-with-andrew-cuomo/
ICYMI
"If it were true that Ukraine belongs to Russia in the 2020s because a Russian dictator knows a legend about a Viking in the 860s... millions of people who actually live there would have no voice in their own identity: no choice but to accept the executions, the torture, the kidnapping of children."
I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this incredible tribute. I can only say I'm honored, flattered, and humbledâand, of course, deeply grateful to everyone who made this accolade possible. I pledge to do my utmost to live up to it. đđŒđ€
Plenty of Dems like Crockett and Warren are also not falling into the distraction trope. But they don't have much actual power and at the end of the day, congressional Dems have chosen Jeffries and Schumer as their leaders and representatives.
Vance's understanding of the end of World War II sure is different from mine. (Allied forces did not negotiate settlements with Germany and Japan, and at no point did the United States consider letting Axis powers keep territories they seized by force.)
Itâs clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didnât see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
Itâs spreading.

New @willbunch.bsky.social column! www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
Vance canât be this ignorant, can he? WWII was not ended with a negotiation. Germany and Japan were dictatorial and genicidal regimes that had to be crushed by the military might of the US and Russia. FDR did not sit down and negotiate with Hitler.
Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."
SOME PEOPLE SAY MILLER AND VANCE SHOULD BE JAILED WITH DJT!
Yeah, like the one aboard the USS Missouri.
the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech

Remember 24 hours? What a joke. Trump canât end the war because heâs unwilling to put pressure on Putin, a murderous tyrant and war criminal who helped him get elected in 2016 and whom he treated as a statesman and BFF.
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.
Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families. We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
Exactly. And it does make me wonder if she was the leaker to the WSJ about the birthday card, etc. She wanted out. Only Trump & Blanche interpreted the revelation of birthday card-gate in the WSJ to mean: âwe need to talk to Ghislaine Maxwell stat!!â
âThe Pentagon has for months been blocking Ukraineâs use of long-range missiles to strike inside Russia, U.S. officials said, limiting Kyiv from employing a powerful weapon in its fight against Moscowâs invasion.â www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
WaPo - The Pentagon has for weeks been planning a military deployment to Chicago as President Donald Trump seeks to crack down on crime, homelessness and undocumented immigration, in a model that could later be used in other major cities.
hey if Trumpâs in ill health IT SUDDENLY BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT THAT JD VANCE FOLLOWS HALF OF TWITTERâS BIGGEST NAZI ACCOUNTS
Trump looks like hammered dogshit these days. His ankles are horribly swollen, he's got a weird discoloration on his hand, his eyes are glazed over and he's not even wearing a necktie in the Oval Office anymore. He's rambling more than ever and seems deeply out of it. But Joe Biden, huh.
The Republican Party is just one big child sex trafficking and sexual abuse ring at this point
âWhy is it the case that whenever they attack âwokeness,â they attack our story?â @esglaude.bsky.social⏠asks in response to Trumpâs complaints that the Smithsonian Institution overemphasizes slavery. âWe cannot become passive participants in this destruction,â warns @imaniperry.bsky.socialâŹ.
Boltonâs home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towardsâŠdespotism. Does anyone think theyâre doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
For years weâve been told that if the rich get richer, the benefits would trickle down to the rest of the population. Howâs that going for everyone? Ali explains how U.S. economic policy rewards the elite at the expense of the working class. #Velshi
It's not just using the National Guard against People of Color It's gerrymandering in Texas-depriving them of representation It's ordering the Smithsonian to erase slavery from US history It's attacking birthright citizenship And it's all a reflection of Trump's warped, racist view of America
NEWS: Fitch Ratings sees US 2026 Government deficits rising to 7.8% of GDP.
Warren: He said that with a single phone call he would end the war in Ukraine. He said he would end the war in Gaza. And I think I remember him saying he would release all of the Epstein files⊠He promised that on day one he would lower costs for American families. We are now on day 215.
The chief justice of the US has painted himself as a modern institutionalist over the past 20 years. Experts say heâs emboldening Trumpâs drive toward authoritarianism.
Extraordinary new detail about the FBI purge. *Senior officials were asked to fire lower level officials tagged by online right wingers as being anti-Trump. *When they asked for a reason - required by law - they were not given any. They refused. Then they were fired. www.cbsnews.com/news/politic...
White supremacist tropes and ironic viral jokes illustrate the administration's project of redefining who belongs in the United States.

Democrats should provide no votes to Republican spending bills unless health cuts are reversed and spending restored.
Thanks to the Medicaid cuts in Trump's Big Ugly Bill, hospitals across America are facing severe cuts and closure â all so the ultra-wealthy can get even richer. This is what class warfare looks like. https://www.commondreams.org/news/hospital-closures-gop-medicaid

Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.
Troops and federal secret police are not being deployed in Democratic and majority Black cities for law enforcement. That is dishonest framing by media. They're deployed for intimidation as a fascist provocation by Trump and Miller. It's about consolidation of power and control.
He also said that Putin told him that âno country has mail-in voting.â Trump is a credulous moron. But surely Putin knows the truth, and if he actually said this he was just lying for fun to his most useful idiot ever.

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"

The judiciary is being asked to serve as a check on presidential abuses of power, but in case after case the Supreme Court has shirked that responsibility. The justices owe the public explanations for their decisions. bit.ly/4mzvX0p
No offense to Trump, who tries his best, but Putin is clearly the alpha sociopath of the duo.

Release the Epstein Files!
Besides the Epstein diversion, the deployment of troops to DC is to create two chilling possibilities. One, to invoke the insurrection act and put down any demonstrations as the country goes south. Two, to suspend elections and declare martial law if the country turns against him.
The federal governmentâs use of the National Guard in DC violates the centuries-old ban on using the military as a domestic police force â a principle critical to democracy. bit.ly/3NaSobU
A CT state rep posted a story about reports of ICE activity in his district and asked neighbors to "look out for another" and contact advocacy groups. Libs of TikTok posted it, calling for him to be charged and tagging ICE & DHS. ICE shared it, tagging the Justice Dept. This is protected speech.
The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.
Iâve been around for 77 years & thereâs never been anything like the Republican Party turnaround on how it feels about Russia. Itâs absolutely mind boggling. And all for fealty to a lunatic. EVERYONE involved should be mortally ashamed.
I recently lost all of my identification. I had to write for copies of stuff like HS transcript, get a copy of my yearbook, etc. It can be so hard to build back up the stuff needed for just a state ID.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: âIf this madness doesnât end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its peopleâs voices silenced, their faces erased â and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.â Israel just killed him.
The genocidal Israeli war machine just assassinated one of the bravest and best journalists in the world while he and colleagues were in a tent in Gaza.
Al-Sharif killed in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack on tent housing journalists outside al-Shifa hospital.
never take freedom of the press or access to news for granted. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/...
Wow.
Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files

Exclusive: Author and Trump biographer Michael Wolff lays out disturbing details of Trumpâs ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and the British royal family â and the so-called âPussy Committeeâ they allegedly formed with the express purpose of procuring girls for Prince Andrew.
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
Pritzker and even Hochul are out there throwing punches while these idiots are only hurting their own aspirations
Because I am angry I will share this again. One of the reasons that Israel is able to target individuals so precisely is that it collects every phone call in Gaza and stores the recordings in Microsoft Azure, then uses AI to analyze and pick targets.
Wolff: This is a key issue right now in the way the White House is looking at the Epstein scandal. The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Donald Trump to the details of what Trump and Epstein called the P*ssy Committee. The Committee consisted of their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew.
Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteriesâthree of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, thatâs exactly what heâs done.
Phang: The Constitution says representatives shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons. It doesnât say youâre only supposed to count U.S. citizens. Trump says youâve got to redo the census but canât include âillegalsâ? Tough shitâthe Constitution says otherwise.
