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.
I applaud Nadlers for doing the right thing. This is real leadership and an action that reveals a man cares more about the country than his ego. If only this would inspire other Dem leaders to do the same... www.axios.com/2025/09/02/n...
Thank you on this labor day!!
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Warfighters demonstrating leafality.
How horrible for them, pulled away from their families and their jobs for this. These are people willing to sacrifice for the sake of their country and are being abused by a government that just doesn’t care.
It's the Epstein Client List.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.

This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 196. A wild weekend with news coming from all different directions and speculation running rampant about Trump’s health. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

✈️🇪🇺🇧🇬A plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land in Bulgaria using paper maps after suspected Russian GPS jamming disrupted its navigation systems, the Financial Times reports.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Fatality.
HEADLINE: FEMA suspended around 30 employees who had warned Congress in a letter that the administration’s cuts were gutting the nation’s ability to handle disasters. Sorta sounds like the "there's no COVID is we don't test" philosophy from last term. Killing the messengers does not stop bad news.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
I would like to know how it all started. Bill Barr’s father hired him to work as a teacher, in a private school, when he didn’t even had a degree. Why? Was this the beginning?
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
California stepping up.
Horrifying
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Also, when engaging in resistance using a sandwich, do not take any bites from it first, because DNA. And remember that your condiments can be used against you in a court of law.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
TRUMP IS AMERICA’S BIGGEST LOSER.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
Wasn’t this Kushner’s plan before the war even began? “Great waterfront property “?
NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program that’s built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
Government Efficiency!!
In the 21st century, how could you order up ethnic cleansing and genocide without a little crypto and AI and real-estate speculation sprinkled on top? { gift link } wapo.st/4g2eATo
Yes, I’ve given up trying to alert people.
Actually, he thinks that he is the state, and that everything should be controlled by the state, as long as he's the state.
Judge Sooknanan: "These children are going to be deplaned. They're going to be returned to ORR custody. And no attempts will be made to remove them from ORR custody and remove them to Guatemala, in light of my order, while these preliminary emergency proceedings are pending."
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

His face 🧐, no chin, that’s impressive edema. I can’t imagine what this could be?
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
He didnt win every single swing state in the same election that he barely “won” the popular vote Are we supposed to believe that ALL 88 counties that “flipped” allegiance went to a single party for the first time since 1934? Hell no He lost The data proves it Pass it on♻️ bsky.app/profile/andr...
Why is the destruction of NIH / CDC not front headline everywhere. I am a cancer researcher and I see no future here. We are going backwards in time and give up our health and science leadership. It is maddening. Never thought this would happening.
I think that’s likely. They’re getting absolutely destroyed by their Constituents right now. Turns out people don’t love the platform of kissing Trump’s ass at the cost of everything else.
I believe that we will remain a fractured party, until a true leader emerges.
It might be something he’s considering, but martial law in itself won’t stop an election. He doesn’t have the authority to cancel an election. And if people are going to try to stop us from voting? Good fucking luck.
Now this is the attitude ALL district attorneys need to take when it comes to dealing with Trump.
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains
Just in time for Taco Tuesday
The fun would be watching Chump's reaction to it. 🤯 #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
"It's further eroding...the credibility of those who are in leadership positions in our military, that they would allow full military honors to someone who lost their life while committing the act of sedition." Michael Fanone discusses Ashli Babbitt with JVL:
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
Vaccines are scrupulously and rigorously researched, trialed, tested and continuously monitored. I get a little tired repeating this but it’s important. They are not the villain but the potentially fatal diseases they prevent are. I and my colleagues have seen them all.
Me too!

Top Social Security Official Resigns After Claiming DOGE Uploaded Confidential Information to Insecure Server
They’re traumatizing kids.
We know, but what can we do?
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
🐥 need a political break ? 🐥 #Catsky #Dogsky #Kittens ♥️
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
Disgraceful.
I feel like this should have at least 3 sirens.
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
It just keeps getting better.
How is it decided which churches get this money? Can anyone apply or has that already been decided? Is there a process to ensure these huge checks getting handed out to pastors actually is spent for this purpose? Where is Congress?
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
I’m so grateful that I have tenure and the academic freedom to call it like I see it. “Dr. Kathleen Bachynski, a professor of public health at Muhlenberg College, described Kennedy’s comments as “absolute gibberish” and slammed the HHS secretary as a “dangerous buffoon” who is “threatening us all.”
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
The US Air Force is rife with Christian Nationalists who have no interest in the Constitution beyond the Second Amendment.
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
When Laura Ingraham was a student at Dartmouth, she attended a meeting of the Gay Student Union and wrote down the names of the attendees, which she then published in the student newspaper. This was a time when it was very dangerous to be outed as gay. She is a dispicable, vile person.
A cult of personality. What could go wrong?
“In a free market system” let me stop you right there, buddy, “free markets” for healthcare generally mean “lots of poor people die unnecessarily” and in this specific case, it means “poor people die early after selling their organs to avoid collection agencies”.
Ah yes, the famous Biden census of 2020… when Donald Trump was President.
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
The GOP is preparing to change Senate rules to make it easier to adopt Trump’s agenda and confirm nominees. Good thing Manchin and Sinema “preserved democracy” with their performative bullshit. Dems have to quit holding themselves to standards the GOP won’t meet.
Here he goes.
