Jerry Nadler ends his remarkable career, conceding that his brand of politics on the Middle East is over. “I don’t know what to say at this point,” he said. “I can’t defend what Israel is doing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...
from White Rose Resistance's thread: Actually "Russian Asset Tulsi Gabbard". She did it knowingly and likely maliciously. There used to be investigations and consequences for actions like this Ask Valerie Plame how this works out. That agent might be in extreme, literally deadly, danger now.
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
NEW: Huge anti-Trump protests happening across the US for Labor Day. This is the current scene in San Diego. A seemingly endless line of thousands of people on the streets! @50501movement.bsky.social #workersoverbillionaires #NoKings (🎥 10-97 News)

“… we were treated to regular stories about Biden’s health, even the mostly speculative New York Times report last summer that a Parkinson’s expert had signed into the White House visitor logs eight times. We’ve seen nothing of that level of interest now with Trump.”
Thus dies the dream
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet
The worm scrambled his brain. RFK Jr. is attributing the health impacts of long covid on children to vaccination, but vaccination *reduces* long covid in children.

“A new psychological study has found that people who report favorable views of Donald Trump also tend to score higher on measures of callousness, manipulation, and other malevolent traits—and lower on empathy and compassion.” Well, duh.
I should add that I've been deadheading it since June. When I say 50 flowers and buds, I mean at any one time, consistently for over two months. Pollinator central!
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
This makes me happy. Six feet from my door. This flowering beast, helianthus giganteus, has been flowering all season. Six feet tall, more than fifty flowers and new buds. It's nowhere near done. Almost every flower looks a lot like this. Busy bees.
The DNC’s continued support of arms shipments to Israel is idiotic: both morally and strategically. The majority of the party opposes Israel’s war on Gaza, and DNC leaders threaten to alienate their base by continuing an unjust war. From Harold Meyerson: trib.al/oD4IlSf
"Our military would be obliterated without the tariffs." "LA wouldn't be standing today if Trump hadn't taken action." These people are just fucking insane.
“…new ICE detention center at Fort Bliss, once used as an internment camp for first-generation Japanese immigrants … disgrace to the memory and legacy of the more than 125,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during World War II.” - Japanese American Citizens League
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
trump's continued humiliation and disrespect for the nation's military.
Did Trump post a week-old golfing pic as if it were today? That would really thicken the plot, huh?
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
The FTC notified companies like Google, Meta, and Apple that they must not apply the Digital Services Act, which regulates digital platforms, if it jeopardizes the freedom of Americans. www.wired.com/story/big-te...
It being such a poor showing of farce, it is likely having the opposite effect.
Their spines have been surgically removed, one by one, starting back in 2016. The process is all but complete now. They're essentially a pile of wet spaghetti noodles at this point.
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Been hollering about this maniac for a while. He's pals with Thiel, Vacation Vance, and a slew of libertarians who think a royalty/serf model is superior to democracy. Of course, none of the leaders of this cabal plan to be serfs in their new world order. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

Kennedy doesn't understand that the SSRI medicine he is denigrating is what's keeping me here.
A federal appeals court on Friday blocked the Trump administration’s plans to end protections for 600,000 people from Venezuela who have had permission to live and work in the United States. https://to.pbs.org/4g1GWNp
I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…
News: Violent crime hits 30-year low in D.C. Republicans: Send in the military. News: Schoolchildren murdered yet again. Republicans: Keep doing all the nothing we’re doing now.
Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.

So.... 1)The state of Florida spent >$200 million to build the facility it calls "Alligator Alcatraz" 2) It opened in early July, christened by Trump. 3) Now it is closing, due to a judge's order. 4) It will cost $20 million to dismantle the center, which was used for about 2 months.
A true hero!
Washington, D.C. is once again caught in the middle of America's debate over race, policing, and power. What started as a presidential order to "restore order" has quickly turned into a daily reminder of how Black communities are often the first to feel the brunt of government overreach.
“Which way, American man?” is a barely-altered reference to a white supremacist text” The slogan is a modified version of the title of the 1978 book, Which Way, Western Man?, written by avowed white supremacist William Gayley Simpson.

Well, tbf, Vacation Vance has lots of time to reflect.
Old enough to remember when the US government used to get worked up about Assad's "kneel or starve" strategy in Syria. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...
They also reliably defund services for people with mental health issues. In fact, I don't even think they talk a good game. Mental health only interests them to the extent they can use it to place blame when they don't want to look at the real problems.
Donald Trump didn’t write “The Art of the Deal” (he probably didn’t even read it) and he sure as hell isn’t writing any of these executive orders. He’s just The Heritage Foundation’s useful idiot.
That Ashli Babbitt is getting anything more than a graveside sign that says “Please wash hands after urinating” is disgraceful.
New polling finds that opposition to sending more military aid to Israel has hit another record high among U.S. voters, further widening the gap between U.S. policy and American opinion as Israel’s genocide continues without an end in sight.
"The worst of the worst" is one DHS's go-to phrases. They repeated it at least 134 times in X posts from May to August, and Kristi Noem, Tricia McLaughlin, and Tom Homan all use it in press appearances. It's a classic example of a thought-terminating cliché.
Trump lashed out after an Utah judge ordered state lawmakers to redraw the congressional map, calling the ruling “absolutely unconstitutional.” But the decision is firmly rooted in Utah’s democratic process.
SCOOP I spoke to the leader of the 764-linked swatting group that is behind the recent spare of hoax active shooter calls at university campuses across the US. He claims to have earned $100,000 in the space of just six days www.wired.com/story/purgat...

I remember when the Columbine massacre happened and very serious media and political figures deliberately hid the fact that the shooters were neo-Nazis and claimed that they did it because they were bullied (they weren’t) and that they wore black clothes. Just thought I’d mention that
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
How unsurprising that Trump's gold decor is as fake as his stated IQ, height, and weight. 😏
Ye gods. 🤪
Greg Pemberton, the Chairman of the DC Police Union, conspired with Project Veritas.
I’ll take science—you take prayer I’ll take diversity—you take segregation I’ll take equity and inclusion—you take bigotry I’ll take secularism—you take mythology Let’s see who survives this soft genocide that RFK, Trump, Elon, and the rest of these baby tech emperors have in store for us
