Err, uh. Sorry, worm ate my brain. 🪱
Four years ago, I tested for COVID. I'd had dinner with someone with cancer the night before. Thanks to the vaccine, I did not give that dinner companion COVID. And I only ran a low-grade fever for a few days. Fuck that idiot RFK Jr. and the equally stupid buffoon who hired him.
Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
Man, they REALLY don’t want to hang that plaque honoring the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6. @acyn.bsky.social
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
See through it.
No notes
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
The US debt is nearly $38 Trillion. The idiots at the White House claimed they brought in $8 trillion in tariff revenue in <8 months. The US debt has increased in that time. It’s all lies, lies, lies.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:
Political theater.
Today would be a great day to release the Epstein files!!!!!!
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Billy Joel has a comparable story about Just The way You Are. Calling it a "chick song", Billy wasn't going to include it on his 1977 album The Stranger.
Did RFK Jr just take away your cancer treatment? mRNA promised to help turn cancer from a death sentence into a manageable condition.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Seen elsewhere. If you're a fan of satire, feast on!
Not a super man . . . but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night! 🙄
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
This one idea underpins the entire patriarchy.
. . . But I did stay at a Holiday In Express last night.
Man, the Epstein Files must really have the Orange Menace running scared. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Landscaping for Trump. You, too, could personally work for Trump & Comp.
Mike Judge - like it or not- his movie was a documentary.
Just in case anyone was confused or wondering. #WTFAmerica #ETTD
Business thrives on predictability; it withers and dies in chaos. #ETTD
Vance is appealing to the peanut gallery. #Idiocracy
Ok, pass a law disbanding the Fed and making the president the nation’s central banker, if that’s your view.
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.
They aren't "bureaucrats," they're not civil service employees. They hold an office to which they were all duly appointed by an elected president and confirmed by an elected Senate pursuant to a law passed by an elected Congress.
#CDC director was reportedly told to do something illegal and she refused #Monarez was allegedly told “to fire the entire leadership team and was instructed to endorse any recommendations” from the newly created anti vaccine advisory board www.rawstory.com/cdc-firing-i...
Mike - you're one of my favorite editorial cartoonists. Pithy and brutally direct. Thank you!
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Fire him now! He is a disgrace.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Arnold Schwarzenegger eviscerated Trump for his pathetic submission to Putin — and he’s right. “Mr. President Trump, you stood there like a little white noodle, like a fanboy.” While Ukraine is invaded, its people slaughtered, Trump grovels before a dictator. That isn’t leadership. It’s betrayal.
No one is attacking private prayer. The problem is treating it as a substitute for action while in office, leaving solutions to divine intervention instead of doing your job. Kids being shot in a church isn’t God "working in mysterious ways" — it’s a failure of policy.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn’t eligible for asylum because it had been more than a year since he entered the country. So Kristi Noem allowed him to reenter again this year, resetting the clock. He has now applied. Kristi is smart that way.
When it hits, it'll be like a tsunami. All pre-existing inventories are almost exhausted, and if anyone thinks that they won't pass on these expenses, I've got a bridge to sell you.
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
Anything but calling for an assault weapons ban. I can’t with this man.
Where the hell is the rest of congress? enough is enough Kennedy is clearly Unqualified. Incompetent. Unhinged.
Thank you @murray.senate.gov for joining the chorus demanding RFK be fired. www.murray.senate.gov/senator-murr... Now we need action! @sanders.senate.gov @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social
Democrats are up 3.5 points in our average of U.S. House generic ballot polls. That would be enough to overcome the effects of additional partisan gerrymandering in red states www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data
Why aren't Democratic leaders holding daily press conferences to list out every single authoritarian action he's taking each day? Please. Start now. Stop waiting for what the polls say. Stop looking to consultants for what language to use. Speak plainly about fascism now. START NOW!
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Cracker Barrel this.
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
It's great that Taylor and Travis are engaged and I'm very happy for them. Now release the Epstein files.
What a fucking crybaby. Certainly not alpha, eh? 😝
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
No; they have a fetish. It's an obsession with the power they believe that guns give them. It's magical thinking run amok. If one gun gives them some gratification, then many should give them more. It doesn't, yet they still look for the next purchase to give them more magic.
one that annoys me is that what these people think is cutting edge new political thinking is just warmed over slaveholder ideology
Pedophile Pervert Parade
Lara Trump set up a fake charity and robbed the dog. Nancy Mace kept checking its genitals. Then Kristi Noem shot it.
Willfully violated the Privacy Act.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
Cracker Barrel was Jeffrey Epstein’s favorite restaurant. Sad!!! 🤷 🍊 💩 🛢️
When you realize how hard the other side is working to take away rights, celebrating keeping them becomes especially important!
Americans broadly hate all of this, and we all gotta remember that when it feels like things are spinning out of control
Pritzker gets it.
Good God almighty! Please mute this human.
People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!
The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is planning to use the US military to invade US cities that vote Democratic because, in addition to raping children, two things that animate him most are rectifying narcissistic injury and hating Black people. Call your reps 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
I just block and move on.

Hope you caught the senate testimony yesterday where the legal ramifications were discussed & went unanswered by the bill's creator. They knew it would be challenged in court - and they know it is racially based. Texans testified but were ignored.
I promised Texas would be sued. And I don't bluff. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Exactly. Scroll down on this page to see the Fragments series I made. It's been on my mind to revisit this series with a little more intentionality. kevinconlon.com/liberty-oak-...
In the Maxwell transcripts, Epstein's enabler says she ‘never’ saw Trump receive a massage. I'll believe the victims, not someone who'll trade the truth for a get out of jail free card from the guy she's lying for.
"She never saw Trump in any inappropriate setting" is gonna go down in the history books right next to "I never had sex with that woman."
My early work is an artist was to use the fragment as a metaphor for memory. A collection of these fragments could be organized into a construct that could be the expression of one's life. Those who paid attention to the moments that most forget, often have a stronger narrative to share!
💯
This does not make us safer or improve the military, just as firing the person in charge of employment numbers doesn't help either the workforce or the markets. newrepublic.com/post/199485/...
Everything is two weeks away from being resolved.
What the f*ck is a pre-war?
Delusional old man says what? #ETTD
Oh! That's terrible news! I need a drink!
CNBC: “.. Retail traders are doing something they haven’t done since June: selling tech stocks.” @cnbc.com
Oh look, Rubio’s State Department is lying again. It must be a day that ends in a y.

Zapple applied (broadly) to agents of candidates, such as a spokesman, or an interested partisan, such as a party member speaking on behalf or in the interests of a candidate. There was an argument in the early days of his show that he was a partisan. Not a stretch, really, but it didn't stick.
