LA City Attorney: Businesses are empty and shuttered. The city’s law enforcement personnel have received countless 911 calls about what, for all intents and purposes, looks like a kidnapping. That’s what it looks like — individuals who will not identify themselves.

Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
21 states are holding elections in September! Make sure you know when and where to vote by looking up the voter information appropriate for your state. Even today, there is still time to participate in the September 2nd elections! Make sure your voice is heard and VOTE! #vote #elections
RIP CBS News
NEW: The big ones are coming up in November, but before then: do not sleep on elections this month. It's the month of recall elections! But I'm also watching elections for mayor, city council, and Congress. My guide to 10 elections to watch this month:
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
One year later, the grift is thiiiiiiiis close to becoming literal mainstream media. Grievance makes money, an American story. puck.news/david-elliso...

reminder that something like 232,000 (per a peer reviewed study) of the US Covid deaths were Delta-wave vaccine refusers. These dupes were sacrificial pawns the conservative movement weaponized in order to sustain the pandemic and try to damage the Biden economy in 2021:

In case it still isn’t clear A vote for Cuomo is a vote for Trump 👇🏽 Per NYT, Trump is discussing giving jobs to Eric Adams & Curtis Sliwa to make Cuomo vs. Zohran a 1 on 1 race. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/n...

Nigel Farage is claiming to Congress that the UK gov deliberately withheld details of the Southport attacker from the public. This is dangerous and it’s false. The attacker was under 18, and so a court had to give express permission to release his name in exceptional circumstances, which it did.
"I thought they were going to make me board the plane like they did with the other kids from the shelter, but they asked me for my name and told me I was not on the list." A terrifying declaration from an unaccompanied child nearly removed to Guatemala straight out of Schindler's List.
A group of 100 survivors and families of victims of the Lewiston, Maine, mass shootings are suing the United States government, alleging that military officials failed to respond to warnings that the gunman, an Army reservist, had threatened to commit violence.
Good news on this front: Pressured by Sen. Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov (D-Oregon) and Rep. Mike Flood (R-Nebraska), YouTube TV and Hulu have just agreed to carry C-SPAN.
i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this
Where did I say they "deserve" to die? They don't. "Some adults" are FAMILY MEMBERS that should give more of a shit about their kids. They made their decisions even with the mountain of evidence in front of their faces. Fuck 'em
I'm stupid because FL runs on a sixth grade education. Got it.
Their parents and grandparents did. Their aunts and uncles did. Can't fix stupid
It's like America signed an NDA with the executive branch

RFK Jr., Pete Hegseth, and other Cabinet nominees assured senators such as Susan Collins that they wouldn’t act on their most controversial opinions. And yet, they’ve done just that. trib.al/cFztBcT
“THE TRUTH NEEDS TO COME OUT.” Marge, @RoKhanna, @RepThomasMassie ask 2 more Republicans to join Dems + 4 Republicans in demanding the files. The 7 TN GOP reps are cowards. @RepTimBurchett @RepChuck @AndyOgles @RepDavidKustoff @RepHarshbarger @DesJarlaisTN04 @RepJohnRose
aging narcissists would be really hilarious if they weren’t leading nations that make up like half the world’s population
👀 NEW: The group behind Project 2025 wants a "Manhattan Project" for more babies. We have the Heritage Foundation's closely-held draft paper taking a hard turn into "pronatalism." It pitches ripping up economic policy to induce straight, married couples to have more children. Gift link ⤵️
For the love of god just make it stop.
Blowing up people in the middle of the ocean without due process is sort of like the unrestricted submarine warfare that Hitler conducted during WW II.
First of all, again, Don't. Stenographically. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. Second, the actual headline should be that this is a massive violation of international law. What is journalism, anyway?
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
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.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.
Scott Jennings and Ben Shapiro are currently both sitting at a panel table on CNN, not OANN. Seems like a pretty good barometer of where things are in this country. 😕🇺🇸
The black hole of disinformation and bullshit continues to suck in huge portions of the US. Rabies is spreading in the US. One reason is that many people are not vaccinating their dogs. Why? Many actually believe rabies vaccinations will make their dogs autistic.
Mayor Bowser, "shared priorities" with this administration means having masked agents disappear our neighbors in the middle of the night. It means soldiers with assault rifles in our neighborhoods. It means arresting children. These are the priorities of a dictator. DC does not share them.
Trump: I’m anti-war MAGA: yay he’s the president of peace! Trump: we’re going to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War MAGA: yay Department of War! Trump: I’m going to make things cost more so I can pay for tax breaks for my rich friends MAGA: yay tariffs!
The rapidly growing #LowerSugarloafFire (currently 100 acres), which is north of Leavenworth, seen from I-90 near Cle Elum, about 45 miles SW of the fire. This fire has been exhibiting “extreme” fire behavior and was called “unpredictable” by firefighters. #wawx
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.
Sen. Lankford should know this about his own state.
we need a slur for people who want this future
This is an explicitly white supremacist speech from a sitting United States Senator.
New excuse..it's AI
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
Officers who shatter car windows aren’t being disciplined — they’re being promoted. One officer who smashed a window in front of a local TV reporter now has a senior ICE position overseeing operations on the East Coast.
Gerrymandering Expert Tells Dan Abrams Republicans Currently Have a ‘Four-Seat Advantage’ Against Democrats, Despite Claims of Unfair Districts
Glad to see Pritzker standing up forcefully against the current tyrant in chief. Needless to say, none of this is normal, and every day it’s pushing us closer and closer to an outright shooting war. If you’re a member of the military, remember you swore an oath to the Constitution above all else.
NEW: The Texas legislature passed an anti-trans bill which restricts restroom use in public buildings across the state. Instead of addressing residents' needs like disaster relief, Texas politicians used a special session to attack trans rights. Our communities deserve better.
Really just gonna let Jeff's bestie slide on all that shit
Today's newsletter is about the bad ABC News article.
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
imagine being so detached from reality that you long for “common ground” with the people destroying your country.

Because AI is a culture war thing and our ownership is on the side of the rich people who own the AI companies. Don't think you need a whole article.

Teens calling Idaho's suicide hotline are being told they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up. Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/08/29/i...
That's it? who gives a shit
important to realize that Greenwald explicitly wants to kill any site that isn't controlled by oligarchs and tyrants because his project requires trapping people in a propaganda-supported alternate reality
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.

When Trump tries to defend mass deportations, he claims, without evidence, that immigrants come from “mental institutions and insane asylums.” When he insults people, he calls them "mentally disabled.” The blatant stigmatization is harmful. But Trump's mental health policies are even worse.
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
A 50-year assault on the social contract & everything that made better living standards possible has predictably resulted in this. The American Rescue Plan was the only significant pause of that assault. Other than that, it’s been an unrelenting attack. And now, here we are 👇
Y'all gotta stop threatening me with a good time😂
A Spokane woman is demanding that veterinary clinic staff be fired after they took selfies on her phone while she was saying goodbye to her dying dog last week.

One of the top posts on Reddit is about mortars.
Homeschooling is used to keep abuse under wraps. And I consider this kind of shit abuse too. Fucking up your kids chance to survive because you're a selfish moron or a disgusting pervert. Neither are good.
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
Nate Silver criticizing Bluesky as inherently flawed because a large group of people who reject our current sucktopia must interact with the sucktopians or else they are not getting the full sucktopian experience.
a very high proportion of centrist punditry now just boils down to "progressives yell at me on the internet and i don't like it." you would think that getting paid millions of dollars per year would give you thicker skin

I've never seen such a disconnect between Dem elected/staff/consultants and actual Dem voters. The latter understand what's going on. The former are awash in right-wing brainrot, hence @schatz.bsky.social blaming COVID mitigation and BLM marches for the GOP's wanton destruction of public health.
![@EsotericCD It was in this moment that many of us hanging on to a thin sliver of trust in our institutions irrevocably lost faith in them. One of the most poisonous blows to public trust in living memory - worse than the effect of the Iraq War in many ways. RFK Jr is a direct result of this.

I’m sure if Trump is at all impaired by a health issue people will be very understanding.
Damn it must have been bad to throw them out the window.
Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
