I just saw an article that said a CEO that stole a hat from a kid at a tennis event was the most hated man in America. I feel like that's forgeting someone.
Amerikkka aways protects guns over childrenโฆ we watch the kids die every yearโฆ over and over againโฆ
I didnโt really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
โGet it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.โ Dwight D. Eisenhower
I bet the White House staff is busy setting up a bunch of cardboard cutouts in the Oval Office like in Home Alone

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
If you enjoyโฆ Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays โฆ then youโre part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Here in the US, โtwo weeksโ actually means never.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while peopleโs lives were destroyed in the name of โsaving money,โ

โโฆI am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.โ My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

Ok this is ridiculous....of course sad that she was killed....but she totally brought that on herself. Now this "honor" on top of the huge payment to her family??? Give me a break....more rewarding insurrectionist behavior...๐๐ก
For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.
Just after SCOTUS granted it access to Social Security, DOGE uploaded a database containing the private information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an unsecure cloud. DOGE isn't fighting fraud โ it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
Nancy Mace: "In my time in Congress, I actually helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history, in South Carolina history. So I've worked very hard on the policies that matter to voters here." (Mace is taking credit for legislation she voted against!)
This is so importantโฆ Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and sheโs finding they donโt match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tacticsโjust like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov ๐งต

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
Gavin Newsom: โNot to brag or anything but Iโm not on Epsteinโs client list.โ But you can Release the Epstein tRump files !
What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.
"Massachusetts has collected about $1.8 billion from a voter-approved surtax on the state's highest earners through the first nine months of the fiscal year." It's going to be used for education and transportation. See? Equitable taxation benefits everyone. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...
The judge points out that the 76 pages of grand jury testimony are a drop in the well compared to the 100,000 documents the government could release.

No one, not even the president, can cancel the presidential election. Congress set the current date for presidential elections in 1845 and it has been held on this date every four years โ even through the Civil War and two world wars โ for over 175 years.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.

A bald eagle (the very symbol of American freedom and strength) hand-delivered to a dictator whoโs waging war in Ukraine, jailing dissidents, and working to dismantle Western alliances? Thatโs not routine diplomacy. Thatโs tone-deaf at best, or intentional messaging at worst.
It gets worse. Trump intended to present Putin with a ceremonial gift, an American Bald Eagle Desk Statue engraved, โPOTUS to President Putin.โ
This wasnโt just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, โIn honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.โ
Welker plays Rubio a clip of him saying in 2022 that "you can't cut deals with guys" like Putin ๐ฌ

Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."
Nichols: He doesn't understand anything that basically isnโt a real estate deal. And so the idea that Putin is obsessed with Ukraine for other reasons, Trump just doesn't understand any of that stuff and doesn't understand why he can't make a deal.
The REAL STORY is STILL THIS: AND WE MUST KEEP IT THAT WAY.
๐บ๐ฆ Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
California Just Gave Their Redistricting Bill A Very Good Name - "Election Rigging Response Act."
So Putin gets a red carpet welcome, a ride in the presidential limo, speaks first at the presser, frames the meeting as a successful talk among equals, while making absolutely no concession on the conduct or outcome of the war.
that summit could've been an email
Yes, Yes and YES.
The party of small government is now the party of big brother.

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT I, JEFF TIEDRICH, YOUR FAVORITE WRITER, HAVE COME UP WITH THE "GREATEST" IDEA EVER. NOT EVEN HEATHER COX RICHARDSON (TINY HANDS!) COULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THIS. SAD!

Full Transcript of Gov. Gavin Newsomโs Speech www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u.... Governor Newsom calls out Texas for their heavy handed gerrymandering tactics and Ice agents who were summoned to this democratic rally. Itโs not Walmart!!! We are not a banana republic!
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
Unreal.
If you live in California you now have one goal: Convince and encourage every family member, friend and neighbor that supporting the (eventual) redistricting referendum is the right thing to do. Do NOT automatically assume it will pass because just youโre in a blue state. WORK FOR IT!
International embarrassment.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
