What Epstein records have not been made public?
How can you be an informant of a hoax
I rode the back of the bus when it was dictated by law. This ain't my first rodeo with hate. I'm not gonna sit on my ass while it all happens again and whatnot.
When you’ve been elected on the promise of not getting the country in any wars.
If the last few months have shown us anything I think it's that expanding the Supreme Court is no longer optional
Such an odd thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
So Hegseth’s missiles were fired at a boat: ✅ they had no idea where it was going ✅ they had no idea who was on it ✅ they had no established authority to act ✅ but definitely wanted to murder whoever was on it Everyone involved should rot in prison forever
You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *’migrants * www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
"Pentagon officials were still working Wednesday on what legal authority they would tell the public was used to back up the extraordinary strike in international waters." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
He’d had that one saved up
The ad campaign criticizing the use of masks by federal agents working in Washington, D.C. has expanded to 115 bus stops, per organizers
A nationwide ban on partisan gerrymandering would be a high-leverage priority for the Democrats in 2026 and esp 2028. It is incredibly popular, more popular with anti-system “disaffected” voters (who were disproportionately likely to switch to Trump in 2024) www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...
Enormous impoundment-related changes in Trump/Vought's Circular A-11 update from Friday, which is OMB's guidance to agencies They: -removed the definition of impoundment -said GAO's impoundment determinations don't matter -claimed pocket rescission authority -claimed profound deferral authority 🧵
I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US 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?"
So they just executed these guys huh? Do they think the “war on drugs” is an actual, declared, hot war? Or that their domestic police powers somehow extend across oceans?
Reporter: there's a school shooting problem in america Trump: sure but there are thousands of schools where there are no shootings
happy labor day
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
happy labor day everyone. now more than ever we got to remember what it's about.
There’s yer problem
giuliani is gonna sue the hell out of whoever painted a tunnel on that brick wall

Judge: Let's recess and let Mr. Ensign find out the situation with children on planes and whether they plan to deplane and return to custody and if so when, so we can get status reports DOJ: OK, I'll try to find out, and again, the planes will not be leaving
Dour and detritus come to mind…
Checking in!
If you don’t believe that Trump’s authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:
critically: it’s just as important to know a guy as it is to be a guy that someone else knows
my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.

Our comment on the DOE CWG report is done. It tips the scales at 439 pages, approx. 3x longer than the DOE report. This is related to Brandolini's law: The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. Example: refuting one sentence.

Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good
Americans broadly hate all of this, and we all gotta remember that when it feels like things are spinning out of control

so, uh, @katieporteroc.bsky.social, the person most likely to become the next governor of California, retweeted one of my posts to say that she supports the most transformative housing bill in state history
fwiw it's not hard to craft a line that nods to kitchen table issues but still captures some urgency. "you put this asshole in office to make your life easier but all he's done is cut taxes for his rich buddies, kidnapped your neighbors and sent the military to tell you to shut up when you complain"
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
Re: Day laborers at Home Depot and DHS raids On the one hand, you have folks looking for work to actually build things to support their families. On the other hand, you have guys doing cosplay while destroying others’ lives. Makers vs Takers, you might say.
Game on.
This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

WESH-TV - Protesters in Orlando have repainted the Pulse Memorial crosswalk after Florida state-directed crews removed the rainbow stripes that honor the 49 lives lost during the 2016 massacre.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Biden would use almost none of these words. Biden got bodied. Mamdani would use most of these words. Mamdani is cleaning up. Democratic consultants don't know anything. "Change your words to appeal to the people who are mad at the Cracker Barrel logo!" is just bad advice.
cash assistance, housing first, permanent supportive housing everything about homelessness is a choice. we know what works.
listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think
anyway, the reality of racial depolarization in the electorate should not blind one to the very real role that prejudice played in producing and rationalizing a set of political choices
Trump fired all of the designers in 18F, the US Digital Service, and elsewhere in government. Now he is calling for improved government design. www.nextgov.com/digital-gove...

Jeff Smith's BONE had a surprising home during the 1990s in Disney Adventures magazine. It was a banner moment for the comic and readers...but how did it happen? This is the story of Bone's time in Disney Adventures, with insight from the key players involved. It's open to non-subscribers.
“History is written by the victors and perhaps cars are the winners …” is an interesting way to consider the global love affair with cars. A love affair that, on balance, brings more pain, costs, and damage than gain. It’s almost like humanity needs smart growth / mobility marriage counseling.
This is your periodic reminder to "ask yourselves this question daily."
A number of people have claimed recently that the CPS shows a large rise in employment for native-born workers, while immigrant employment has fallen. Here's an exceedingly informative post from @jedkolko.bsky.social, on why the CPS cannot be used in this way. jedkolko.substack.com/p/no-native-...

No car? No worries! IKEA Utrecht rents (covered) cargo bikes, bike trailers, and trolleys to easily transport (large) purchases home. Because most of the times, you don't need a car to get your favourite products at home! 🚲 📦 👌🏼
"An urban tree canopy of at least 40% results in the most cooling – as much as four to five degrees Celsius (seven to nine degrees Fahrenheit)."
That’s right
Urban planners who want to improve urban livability and quality of life should redirect the energy they put into micromanaging architecture into ensuring that street trees get planted and maintained.
there are 250 Democrats in Congress who should be out on the streets telling these folks to go home right now
