The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...
Benny Johnson is every bit the grifter and liar. We know him to be. This article is beyond…
Some insiders have theorized that the White House installed Fugate to oversee a pivot away from traditional counterterrorism and to steer resources toward MAGA-friendly sheriffs and border security projects before eventually shuttering operations. (Published June)
And he doubled down saying it wasn’t his porn. 🙄 Politicians, pastors, police…do I have to say it? 🤮 “The sexual dysfunction of the American male.”

Today I learned that Western Wayne Indivisible has a mascot. Everyone, meet Moose.
Trump is defending HHS Secretary RFK Jr from the firestorm over firings and ensuing resignations at the CDC by demanding drug companies turn over information about their COVID research and drugs that the president claims he has already seen. www.rawstory.com/trump-compan...

November 5, 2024: union workers thanked Biden by helping elect the union busting fascist.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
These operatives have got to be the keystone cops of spies. 😂
Remember, the epidemic of mass shootings is neither inevitable nor unsolvable.
You know who else used to occupy America cities with rifles at the ready? The British.
Good for him!

The people designing the casinos are the same people gilding the Oval Office. Tasteless, rude and offensive.
Virtually every speaker the OR GOP has brought to the state for one of their events since 2022 has been, first and foremost, an election denier. Lying about elections is now basically a requirement for being a Republican in good standing.
I think the appropriate response is “wah, wah, wah.”
On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews
Sad day. 😢 Graham Greene was one of a kind. Funny and serious, knockout combo.
I think…no, I’m sure - Trump is fatter than Kim Jong Un.
This kind of thing happens to the best of us but it does seem to be happening a lot more than usual at DOJ

Abalulu!! The press conference may actually bring on the Trump aneurysm we’ve been praying for. #ThoughtsAndPrayers
“It is simply a different action aimed at making Trump’s fascism happen. In turn, it is essential to remember that so much of that is accomplished through propaganda.”
“Representative Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who has been one of Congress’s leading liberal voices for three decades, will not seek re-election next year, heeding a call for generational change roiling his party”
I was worried Trump would get us into a war. Now I’m worried that every cabinet member will get us into their own individual war. Flood the zone is right. 🙄
I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.
Freedumb and hair dye. 🙄

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people. But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no. By @kylehopkinsak.bsky.social, w/ @adn.com

😫 70 yrs old, hosts a “Values” broadcast. WTF? Preachers of ‘values,’ Police, pastors, parishioners, politicians, and PE teachers. Each day. Monsters. Everywhere. 🤮 “The sexual dysfunction of the American male.”
Politicians, Pastors, Police, Parishioners, and PE Teachers. Every. Phucking . Time. 🤮 Most often from red states. “The sexual dysfunction of the American male.“ And why do they all have that over-stuffed sausage casing, stuck pig, Jason Miller look?

Far less important, but in a petty swipe at CBO, OMB removed “CBO's mission is to provide the Congress with the objective, timely, non partisan analyses needed for economic and budget decisions and with the information and estimates required for the congressional budget process.”
This is the least transparent administration in history. That's human history. ALL of human history. Going back to the Mayans and Mesopotamians.
Politicians, police, pastors, Parishioners, and PE teachers. Every. Gut-wrenching. Time. 🤮 “The sexual dysfunction of the American male.”
Just months after failed judicial candidate Jefferson Griffin tried to disenfranchise over 65,000 voters in the state supreme court election, the GOP-led North Carolina election board is now threatening to discount voters who don’t present additional ID.

Susan Collins, call your office. And pick up some packing boxes on your way.
"Blueskyism" helped the Mississippi Free Press overcome algorithmic suppression on other platforms (Facebook, Threads) and ride out plummeting engagement on Twitter following Musk's X takeover. Thank God we took our eggs out of the X basket when we did.
Eschew obfuscation.
Trump doesn’t understand the phrase “Lo and behold.”

Rural communities and people with disabilities will have even more limited access to health care. Families with low incomes who rely most heavily on community clinics and health departments will have fewer resources available to them. Children will lose access to lifesaving vaccines due to cost.
In case you are wondering what is going on today at WaPo and Democracy Docket.
Trump did NOT write this. Too many polysyllabic words he doesn’t understand.
In addition to all the strangenesses, incongruities, and mystery, most majors on the Right - Elon, Loomer, Coulter, even his kids - are silent. None are addressing the seriously ill elephant in the room. These people wake up noisily defiant and go to sleep noisily contrary. Not a peep.
Let’s deploy wildfire mitigation crews across Colorado by funding three projects at risk due to uncertain federal funding. They’ll protect lives and property near Durango, Steamboat Springs, and Conifer. I’ll match the next fifty $5 donations here: www.coloradogives.org/story/preven...

It’s like Pete Rose being admitted to the Baseball Hall of Fame after he died - Trump is trying to get a jump on it.
Critics of Andrew Bailey, Trump's pick to help run the FBI, say the Missouri AG got the attention of the White House by following Trump’s tactic of targeting political opponents. “What better way to show loyalty than to do exactly what Trump wants,” one said. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social
An actual Christian soldier, like the modern day religious trope of winning at all costs, especially if you injure or kill your religious opponent. Newsflash to the RW: Jesus wasn’t an abuser… 🙄
And… Nate Fridge Goo: propping up the 2nd biggest self-delusion about his own intelligence.
Do you have Trump supporters in your life? Remind them of this.

I suppose that's cheaper than paying Giuliani all the money he owes him.
"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Excellent!! Now, we need a fund for whistleblower litigation expenses!
Heath Equity Funding! 👇
Aggressive mediocrity, stupidity, and self-delusion all make a terrible cologne.
Yeah, why not *Alphonse* Capone (as Trump refers to him)? He really looked up to AC…and Roy Cohn…and Hitler…it amazes me that people still can’t see the demon that Trump is.
Bet you 50 bucks Trump didn’t write that.
Hey AG!👋 .@dailybeanspod.com @mswmedia.com Love love love 🥰 everything you all do! It’s like you speak my thoughts (not creepily 😳😆) You’ve probably already read this, but in case you haven’t… @scottsantens.com would make a great guest!
"Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it.”
Giuliani and Trump have lizard-like senses of survival. They know the first news item out is the one that sticks + gets the most exposure. Old joke, “Quick! Accuse my opponent of being a pig fucker.“ “But we know he’s NOT a pig fucker!“ “Yeah, but i’d like to see him try to deny it.”
And they’ve committed all kinds of crimes! Remigrate Musk and Thiel!!
Trump didn’t write that.
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.
2/ GOP gerrymandering fever moves to Missouri, where the Republican governor is willing to strip voting fights from citizens of his own state in service to Trump.
1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.

Man can't make any statement without mentioning 911
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
