Getting angrier and angrier. Not at you, though. You're cool.

All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.
So after the Epstein survivors themselves said this matter wasn't a hoax and told their stories, the President told them they were lying. That's the headline every reputable media outlet should be running.
Guess all parents better get used to consulting their pediatrician to find out what immunizations they need to update before taking the kiddos to Disney.
Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”
Trump on what he's doing stop Russia's war on Ukraine: "We have stopped the money. We send weapons to NATO. They pay full price." (In other words he's trying to compel Ukraine to surrender but not Russia to stop the violence.)
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of 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?"
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans worried about Death Panels
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
BA de ya - do you like Mary Ann or Ginger
Before Labor Day ends I just want to put out this reminder: we've already tried living without workplace safety laws, child labor laws, overtime pay, etc and the ONLY reason workers are not abused and mistreated is unions forced changes. Bosses/owners haven't changed. We need strong unions.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
I am issuing an executive order nullifying his executive order, and my order has all the force of law that his does. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
One thing about never-Trump Republicans, during Trump II particularly: They understand that the world they knew is dead. They have no investment in either reviving the former GOP (because they understand it's impossible) or maintaining the pre-2016 Democratic Party (because it's not their party).
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but we don’t need to fight fairly against fascism. We just need to fight.
Absolutely perfect description. If only this had been his obituary.
Fascism. "If this were happening somewhere else – in Latin America, say – how might it be reported? Having secured his grip on the capital, the president is now set to send troops to several rebel-held cities, claiming he is wanted there to restore order..." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yep every time I walk through an airport I think "wow look at that kid, he moves like he has mitochondrial challenges. Oh and there's another one at the Cinnabon, he obviously lacks social connection."
We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸
About 1/2 of America is sick and tired of it and has been since about the time Trump announced his 1st candidacy. About 5% are clueless. No actual news ever reaches their eyes or ears. And about 45% love it. They are the ignorant, pathetic brainwashed offspring of Rush Limbaugh.
So you can't work for the Fed if you are accused of fraud but you can be president if convicted of it. Got it.
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
Not sure I agree it lowers crime. More like lowers a few particular types of crime and intimidates the populace into accepting the massive criminal enterprises conducted by the rulers.
The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Pritzker gets it.
"Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here, nor needed here." Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker responds to President Trump's threats to send National Guard troops to Chicago.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
"How utterly refreshing for a Supreme Court justice to pinpoint what we have long known: The MAGA majority no longer even tries to act like unbiased jurists." ✍️ @jenrubin.bsky.social
Whoopsy
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
ICE body slams man's head hard into pavement—for eating crabs in public. Agents shove him into ground with arms twisted behind his back—bleeding severely from his forehead. "My head! You're breaking my arm!" he cries out. "Why are you doing this? I was just eating crabs!" Washington, D.C.
He reduced wars by 1000%. Maybe 1500%.
Just thinking about the round-the-clock outrage that Fox News and other MAGA media have devoted to Mamdani's proposal to open a handful of city-run grocery stores. Meanwhile, the president literally just nationalized Intel.
From "highly CONFLICTED" to "Highly Respected" in just weeks — and all it took was for him to give away 10% of his company
It doesn't even make the top thousand Worst Trump Things this year but that stupid hat would have been a scandal in itself any time prior to 2016.
This sort of admission—the VP is involved in prosecutorial decisions, the "concerns" arise from political actors, and the administration knows they don't have probable cause—would have prompted the Founders to impeach everyone involved.
Better late than never.
Ossoff: "Democrats need to strike back. We have no time or luxury for high-minded hesitation, because Trump and MAGA are going to do everything within their power to hold on and to lock in one party rule in America. That's the reality that we face."
I will send more $$$ than I can afford to any blue state redistricting away red seats. Fuck Texas.
If it helps recruitment any they can let them know I'll happily treat anyone I encounter who works for ICE or CBP like they are crap I stepped in.
He's been cranky ever since Bilbo took his Precious.
if you've never seen a guy try to sound tough while whining about getting his ass kicked by 90 year olds, check this out
I can't imagine it required much of a probe since the whole damned administration is out bragging about the abuse every day.
I'm in a meeting and can't turn on my volume but I really hope he followed up with "thank you yes it is a good question, will you please answer it?"
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
So the Trump deal is for Russia to permanently gain territory occupied during a war of conquest in exchange for a promise from Putin not to do it again?
Wish I'd thought of calling the guy at Tower Records. I was terrible at re-folding the little booklets correctly so that they'd fit back into the cd jewel case.
A police officer is entitled to their private political opinions. But to express them as justification for an official act ... that crosses a very important line.
"Liberals already ruined it" shows the plot here. These aren't impartial law enforcement officers protecting all citizens. They are partisan paramilitary militia, terrorizing domestic opponents.
Portland, Oregon
FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”
Wait, it sounds like you are saying if a mass murderer then kills himself his parents shouldn't go on TV and brag about how their son stopped a mass murderer?
Donald Trump is absolutely 100% Putin's bitch. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: REQUIRES 10-PERSON TACTICAL TEAM TO AREEST IN FULL RAID GEAR (even tho subject wanted to turn himself in) Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: “Go home. We love you.”
This is the way (my favorite are that “chicken” and “deal” and randomly in quotes 🤣)
Newsom: "He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength."
Gavin Newsom responds to Trump sending Rodney S. Scott with armed DHS members to surround Gavin Newsom’s press conference.
Bolognaeous assault.
The fact that every MSM outlet is not intensely focused on this guy's obvious mental incapacity is completely baffling.
Funny, I'd have guessed Gollum liked tartar sauce on his fish.
L.A. & D.C. are just the beginning. Trump’s fascist regime will expand across this country, targeting Democratic cities and Black & Brown communities first. It may not be on your doorstep yet, but it’s coming. When it does, will you be ready? Get connected—Get trained—Get bold. The fight is now.
Probably much easier to get her tossed out a window on work release. At least that's how Trump's boss would handle it.
IMHO this is law enforcement and a violation of Posse Comitatus, full stop, no matter whether they carry out arrests or not.
The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.
It's another good reminder of the profound state of corruption of the current federal judiciary that these kinds of openly/criminal actions can take place and citizens have no recourse to the courts. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...
Once again, the way you know these tariffs are illegal under the very laws being used to justify them is that there is no such thing as a "national emergency" that magically flares up & then disappears & then flares up again & then disappears every 90 days. bsky.app/profile/mcop...
It's weird that he had a "prime" at all but I guess in this context he did. If there was any justice in the world his "prime" would have been 10 seconds before he went down the escalator and started speaking and showed everyone what a colossal jackass he is.
Stanford's student paper sues Noem and Rubio, saying their policies cause non-citizen students to avoid expressing themselves freely in the Daily's pages due to fear of detention and deportation h/t @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...
Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.
The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t). I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.
I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.
I FOUND SOME 2020 ELECTION FRAUD! Trump supporters Burkman and Wohl have pled guilty to 4 felony counts for orchestrating a series of robocalls to suppress the vote of predominantly black voters in Michigan in the 2020 election. www.michigan.gov/ag/news/pres...
We're watching history being made here, and not the good kind.
Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome. Love, Allison
Jennings is Exhibit A proving the Republicans have no morals, no beliefs except power. He used to be a died-in-the-wool McConnell Republican, which is awful but it's something. But he twisted so easily into MAGA that he obviously has no spine, no real beliefs. Just power.
No lies told here.
The Trump admin has formally unveiled a program to illegally use money Congress passed for sheltering migrants released from immigration custody to instead detain them in state-run prison camps. They are calling this — no joke — "shelter in a detention environment." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Yes, ok, sound bad, but on the other hand Rubio did bring back a triple murderer from Venezuela and release him in the US www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Trump sent officials to see Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas
The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.
And there it is. This whole thing reeks. If you just release the files you don’t have to make deals with one of the worst child sex traffickers in history to protect Trump. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
I am fucking FUMING — but goddamn, I am so proud of this kid for having the wherewithal, the guts, and for refusing to delete the footage when threatened. He was arrested and charged for the footage alone
Never really occurred to me that NOT slapping the shit out of Scott Jennings would be an option.
I understand the people in the clown car. They are clowns. The ones who drive me insane are the supposed non-clowns interviewing the clowns, trying to reason with the clowns, & generally treating the clowns like serious people.
BREAKING WAPO: The Pentagon's independent watchdog has evidence that messages from Pete Hegseth's Signal account previewing that U.S. bombing campaign in Yemen derived from a classified email labeled "SECRET/NOFORN." That contradicts Trump claims. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
WSJ is on a fuckin' roll. 💥
Wait are you saying the very sophisticated economic guy, the very stable genius, can't do the mathematically impossible? You must hate America or something.
Since Epstein died in federal custody while Trump was president I have to think she'll be so scared she'll say whatever he wants.
