something something two weeks tremendous never seen anything like it huge many people saying
The two leaders held talks after attending the key session of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization gathering in the port city of Tianjin, where discussions focused on regional stability, bilateral trade and energy cooperation.
I have been rewatching 30 Rock, which remains well-crafted with some bits that really didn't age well, but my main takeaway is, jesus christ the 00s were a long fuckin time ago
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.

AOC: “I think progressive means the following…”
What would the GOP power struggle look like if Donald Trump dies?
A fortuneteller tells Trump: “You will die on the biggest and most celebrated national holiday.” Trump replies: “How do you know?”
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
Fine. I'll just take that he was missing for a couple days as good news. He's not well. And I don't care who's backing him -- JD will never command this cult.
"Kennedy might have prospered had he simply been content to continue slapping a MAHA coat of paint on the good work of the government’s actual scientists. Instead, he seems determined to rip the engine out while the car is hurtling down the interstate." www.thebulwark.com/p/camelot-fo...
Looks like someone won’t be terrorizing immigrant families for at least a few weeks. Karma works fast
End of week reminder that I’m running for California AD-72! We’ve already gotten over 700 contributions so far, and a huge thanks to everyone that’s pitched in. It’s time to step up and fight for our democracy. (I’ll do one of these on Monday and one on Friday so I don’t spam your feed too much)
i really think jd vance is the fakest politician i've seen in my lifetime. there is nothing sincere about him.
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “If a Democratic president were doing any of these things you would be losing your mind.” 🎯
When it happens, all of DC needs to head to Lafayette Square to celebrate outside the White House like the night they got Bin Laden
I don’t celebrate anyone’s death* *until I know they are dead
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "The Trump administration has not contacted me at all whatsoever. Nobody in my administration. They're just looking to invade the city of Chicago, not coordinate with law enforcement … not coordinating with the state of Illinois, the Governor or the Mayor of the city."
Welch: The people that elected Donald Trump are the people that he's punishing the most with this stuff. And you guys, if a democratic president was doing this, would be going bananas. You guys would lose your minds.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
BREAKING: Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office. “Something's wrong with this president!" Who agrees?
Honestly love that the vibe here on a late Friday night going into the last weekend of summer is “gosh I really hope he’s dead, we’re gonna throw one hell of a party”
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
This really pissed them off. Good.
One of our biggest challenges is explaining statistics in simple and accessible terms—but we're going to keep on trying! This Turnout Binning Test provides a summarized view of vote share between candidates from low turnout precincts to high turnout precincts.
It’s the first week of school for many—a time that should be filled with joy, not grief. Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen. My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.
As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives. Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home. We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.
"We're living in a world where the director of the FBI wrote a children's book about Donald Trump as a poor persecuted king, and that was enough to get him the job of the FBI director." What *is* left? @sbg1.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast:
WHAT. Ohhh you’re crazy @jessicatarlov.bsky.social
This is literally dictator shit
I’m not a huge Taylor fan, but my girls are. I saw that Charlie Kirk responded to her engagement to Travis Kelce by telling her to submit and be a good wife. She’s a billionaire. Travis is not. That tells you all you need to know. As a woman, you can never achieve enough success for them…
Graham Platner: "Susan Collins has been in the Senate for almost 30 years... People know that she's a self-interested politician who has tried to play this charade for many years about how she tries to be a moderate... Everybody sees this for what it is."
For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.
“Does my pet rock feel sad when I don’t walk it every day?”
Local billionaire confesses to funding child rapists and Nazis
Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. It's called a dictatorship. And it's pronounced fuck you.
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Michaels: I have not had one single invite from a conservative news outlet. I have family members saying to me, “Well, why aren’t you talking to Megyn Kelly? Why aren’t you getting out there on Fox?” They’re not asking.
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
The White House calls it a war zone. Yesterday I toured the “front lines.” I saw a total of about 15 military types strolling around, talking to tourists, petting dogs. I guess the war on DC’s violence doesn’t extend to Sundays.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
Pam Bondi knows what’s on the files and is actively covering it up. She is now a co-conspirator in the overall crime.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Tim Walz: "Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. 'Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid frickin' red hat. What should I say today? I don't know, just make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy -- the felon in the White House.'"
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Current and former FEMA officials are warning Congress that the Trump administration’s policies have undermined the nation’s ability to respond to natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina.
EU buildings illuminated with the Ukrainian flag, showing solidarity and reinforcing their commitment to democracy. #3E #StandWithUkraine
saw a cybertruck this morning for the first time in a long while. still ugly.
If Ukraine stopped to ask each other if they aligned politically to fight off Russia, they would have been conquered in less than 3 days. In times of crisis, swallow your pride and work with what you have and who you have. You are either fighting dictatorship or you are not. #3E
I ran into a MAGA man I know in real life yesterday. While walking through the same set of doors, he let the door close in my face two times. Yes, MAGA folks have a problem with critical thinking and processing, but they are also the rudest and crudest and uncivilized people. Troglodytes.
Literally saying it out loud. Someone put grandpa Canks in a home.
Andrew Cuomo has begun transferring money from a state campaign account to his city account as he tries to stop Zohran Mamdani, whose fundraising has surged since winning the Democratic mayoral primary in June.
Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what? I’m running for California State Assembly! Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.
I’ve never been one to sit on the sidelines. I’m running for State Assembly. Let’s fight for the future we deserve. 🚀 ➡️ KluweOC.com/Donate #ChrisKluwe #CALeg #OrangeCounty
YUUUUP. For those who are not familiar, Chris Kluwe was the former NFL player who went viral for his speech and “good trouble” protest at a council meeting. OC WOULD BE SO LUCKY!
Trump: “They say, ‘We don't need him, freedom freedom. He's a dictator. He's a dictator.’ A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we like a dictator’…You send in troops, and instead of being praised they're saying you're trying to take over the republic. These people are sick.”
I, too, would be afraid to have my daughter on the subway if Andrew Cuomo was there.
Gov. Pritzker: "There is no emergency that warrants the President of the U.S. federalizing the Illinois National Guard." "Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families."
Ought to be more careful in a stand your ground state…
BREAKING: Former inmate, Kathryn Comolli, who knew Ghislaine Maxwell in prison just said that Maxwell offered evidence to the Biden White House showing that Trump engaged in illegal activity but Biden turned it down
Everyone who was wrong about Trump — please say so openly to those who trust you and follow you. You have influence and thus bear responsibility.
Not listening to Black women is going to be the reason America collapses. That is all.
That he’s gonna die within the month
REP. @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Only 3% of the documents that were given to us were new. 97% were already in the public domain. Less than 1% of the Epstein Files have actually been released. They’re stonewalling and not releasing things.”
Mockler: Now, along with the on the ground movements like MoveOn, which is very important. We also have online movements that are growing, like MeidasTouch. Who here knows MeidasTouch? Everybody knows MeidasTouch. You wanna know why? It's because we are beating Fox News.
Yeahhhh he’s gonna die within the month
Notice how he does his best throughout to hide the back of his right hand from the pool camera.
They are fascists 🩵
Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.
Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
HOLY SH*T
Dominick: You live at the top of bullshit mountain
From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks. That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years. Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees. And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?
It’s about racism and pretending it’s not about racism will not magically erase the racism
