In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
Seemz the South is itching to be put down like treasonous losers again.
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.

Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.
BREAKING: Sen. Joni Ernst announces she won't seek re-election in 2026.
I currently switching jobs and this background check company they have is awful. Like I sat through six interviews with you. You asked every detail about my jobs, my leadership style etc. However, because I don't have a W2 from 10 years ago it invalidates everything? Wtf?!
Together with the labor movement of Maine, together with Bernie Sanders — We will defeat the oligarchy, and we will defeat Susan Collins.
Jerry Nadler, the longtime Democratic congressman who represents the Upper West Side, says he will not seek re-election. He says "Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party." Expect other Democrats to say it www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.

Every damned thing he does is illegal. Somebody should shut HIM down.
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
Multiple CDC leaders have resigned in the wake of layoffs and a shooting at the agency’s headquarters this month.
He's also a facist pile of shit.
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...
"The unsubstantiated mortgage fraud allegations that allegedly occurred prior to .. Cook’s Senate confirmation do not amount to ‘inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office,’” the lawsuit read, “nor has the President alleged that they do.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/b...

Breaking: Kilmar Abrego García has just been detained by ICE after arriving at the agency's Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in, according to his attorney. "The only reason to take him into detention was to punish him."
Just a reminder that the NYT is a fascist propaganda outlet printing fascist lies in support of a fascist gearing up to wage war against the citizens of the country.
Works for ICE and other agencies. Blank spot for your protest location.
Turned out be be a picture perfect day yesterday, to try a new to me, spring fed trout stream in Grant County, WI. One of the nicest trout streams I've fished in WI. Water was a chilly 51°. The land owner not only allowed people to cross their land, but had a path mowed to make it easier to get to.

The Russians just DESTROYED AN AMERICAN FACTORY IN UKRAINE. WHERE IS OUR GOVERNMENT? NOT A PEEP. THIS IS WEAKNESS. PLAIN AND SIMPLE WEAKNESS This was an electronics factory. Household items. This is acceptable for our interests to be bombed.
Bingo! What I've been saying for two months. They don't plan to go anywhere.
They don't care about poll numbers, they don't are about being transparently authoritarian, they don't seem to care about their party's fate in the midterm elections and they sure as hell don't care about the laws. People better start putting all these pieces together. The picture is clear.
It would be very cool if people who a) like the idea of free online tax filing that is not a bait-and-switch from a private vendor and b) support an innovative tool that users loved, would respond to these surveys. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

@atrupar.com You have a doppelganger. Reported.

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.
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice has escalated its demand for access to Maine’s voter registration records, now requesting that election officials turn over unredacted copies of voter rolls and every voter registration application submitted in the past 18 months.

Ossoff: And let me just say this about JD Vance, because he was supposed to be this avatar of a new GOP that was for working class people. His legacy forever now is casting the decisive vote to throw millions of Americans off health care

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
All it's going to take for this to really accelerate is a shitty economy and we're on our way to that pretty quickly.
Even better!
To everyone claiming disappointment, Costco never sold mife. It's not a victory at all, narrow or otherwise for Alliance Defending Freedom. This is dumb journalism from a newspaper owned by a rank shitlord.
This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew. They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.
Well done, Alaska.
How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

Southern GOP voters came six decades ago, and stayed, for the racism. While many MAGA voters claimed to be supporting a convicted felon in 2024 for a better economy, it’s obvious their support for Trump was never about the economy. It's always been about racism. open.substack.com/pub/tcavant/...

This hole on a trout stream, I've only fished a few times, got me yesterday. Much deeper with a stronger current than expected. Water went up over the top of my waders as my feet pushed out from uder me due to the current. Glad I had my staff to stop myself from falling! 😅 Beautiful stream though!
