OK, I’m going to admit publicly that I had never before heard of a “butt snorkeler”, yet I think I understand. I wonder if Gavin Newsom’s people are familiar with it? Could become popular; the use of the phrase, not the snorkeling, which is obviously already popular.

Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
Can tell the players without a scorecard!!!
We're proud to release our 2023-2024 Clean Money Scorecard to show which CA legislators always stood for Fair Elections and Good Government this session -- and which legislators didn't. See which Senators and Assemblymembers were #CleanMoneyChampions below! 👇
There is legitimate no reason for this. The troops should refuse the order and resign from the Guard.

Understandable, considering we elected a rapist.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮
M bare assing!!!
This is objectively hilarious.
Dangerous fascism directed by a rapist.
It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion… … and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines. Infuriating.
Nearly 1,400 people died after Hurricane Katrina crashed into Louisiana and Mississippi. Most of the deaths were in New Orleans, which has had an uneven recovery in the past 20 years.(Image credit:...

"The Alaska summit had been a public relations jackpot for the Kremlin... "Trump’s diplomacy in the last two weeks -- including the summits in Alaska and DC -- has yet to extract any concessions from Moscow, which has not backed down from its maximalist demands..." www.politico.eu/article/eu-t...
Boxing gloves don’t work in a missile fight! #SlavaUkraine
Fascist intimidation!!!
Sen. Adam Schiff to NBC: "This is clearly retribution. I mean, the idea that, what, they just picked John Bolton, a prominent critic of the president, at random? … Anyone who says anything adverse to the president's interests gets the full weight of the federal government brought down on them."
Guilty as described! 🙏
Look past the headline - this important read is illuminating for our times. And showing a path forward.
So smart!!!
Patriots.
Fascism is not a threat, it is a promise. ♥️🇺🇸♥️
"Companies were reluctant to pass price hikes into stores, because they didn't want to make customers mad and lose market share. It's only now really sinking in that this is for real, and so the 'let's eat the tariffs for a while' thing is fading out." — @pkrugman.bsky.social
HOUSTON: “An investigation is underway after two men wearing ski masks and claiming to be police were shot and killed at a home in southeast Houston Friday night…” It was only a matter of time. Trump’s masked Gestapo makes everyone unsafe. www.khou.com/article/news...
That’s something I don’t want to see.
Because it is!
😂
Release the Epstein Files!
I’m calling WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE on Trump and his Administration!!! With an additional charge of WILLFUL INSANITY!!! One would reasonably assume that this is also another frightened, failed attempt to take our minds off his sordid affair with pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein!!! ♥️🇺🇸♥️
I know I’m supposed to be at peace, but I'm not. I'm wondering if American fascism might be affecting me? ♥️🇺🇸♥️
The One Ugly Distraction let ACA premium tax credits expire—jacking up health care costs for 22M Americans. In VA, a 55-year-old making $63K will pay $2,410 more just to keep their plan. Working families pay the price for GOP cruelty.
Mayor Brandon Johnson is ready to take Trump to court if he sends the National Guard to Chicago. Democratic mayors won’t be rolled over. Trump’s plan to occupy cities and sow division is going to be fought every step of the way.
Silence is not golden when ones Country is becoming fascist. ♥️🇺🇸♥️
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby. This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday). What the hell is happening to the US? (🎥 Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff, Washington Post)
Trump planned to give Putin an “American bald eagle desk statue,” according to documents obtained by NPR
They come out in full military gear to remove a homeless person sleeping on a park bench.
New York today.. stop starving Gaza march…
Trump wanting a Nobel Peace Prize *this nakedly* is so thirsty and pathetic.
KGB officer flatters narcissist mark
🔥 wow — @ettingermentum picks his teeth with @andrewcuomo’s shitty campaign against @zohrankmamdani: “What we are seeing play out is more than just a simply bad campaign… the kind of humiliation that only happens once every few generations.” www.ettingermentum.news/p/has-there-...
Bastard!
Criminal Trump
An immediate ceasefire to the war in Ukraine had long been a bedrock demand by the U.S., Ukraine and their European allies.
The president and his administration are struggling to bury the scandal around their handling of the convicted sex offender's case
Putin: "Today when President Trump says that if he was the president in 2022, there would be no war, and I'm quite sure it would indeed be so. I can confirm it. Overall, me and President Trump have build a very good and businesslike contact."
MAJOR BREAKING: NO DEAL REACHED IN PUTIN-TRUMP MEETING
Trump: "I've always had a fantastic relationship with President Putin, w/ Vladimir. We were interfered with by the Russia Russia Russia hoax that made it a little tougher to deal with, but he understood it. I think he's probably seen things like that over the course of his career. He's seen it all."
Wow -- Trump and Putin walk off without taking questions
BREAKING: Trump admits his Treason Summit accomplished nothing. They took no questions at their propaganda "press conference. What a sham.
Trump: "We're gonna stop thousands of people a week from being killed, and President Putin wants to see that as much as I do."
WIN: The 5th Circuit upholds a ruling that struck down Louisiana's state legislative maps for violating the Voting Rights Act by diluting Black voting power. The state must redraw the maps to ensure Black voters have equal opportunity to elect their preferred candidates.
TRUMP: Thank you very much, Vladimir PUTIN: Next time in Moscow TRUMP: Oooh. That's an interesting one. I'll get a little heat on that one, but I could see it possibly happening (Trump and Putin then leave)
BREAKING: TRUMP OPTS FOR NO QUESTIONS AFTER ADMITTING NO DEAL WAS MADE DURING PUTIN MEETING. A DEFEATED TRUMP LEAVES ROOM QUICKLY. PUTIN SUGGESTS MOSCOW FOR FUTURE MEETING. DEVELOPING...
that summit could've been an email
Thank YOU, Mr. Reich, for writing this must-read book & for never writing a post I didn't "like." With deep gratitude, Mar🐫
Thank you.
I don't like talking bad about people's looks, but donald is an ugly son of a b!+ch
BREAKING: Trump and Putin take no questions in what was billed as a press conference. No deal made. Trump thanked Putin "very much."
🚨Bondi’s new order now expressly orders DC police to assist with immigration enforcement. This order is more clear on the intent of the Trump operation. It’s unfortunately also more likely to withstand court challenge, if today’s hearing was any hint.
The right-wing educational resource is available for classrooms in ten states and wants to go ‘toe-to-toe’ with PBS Kids. Will teachers go for what the company has described as indoctrination?
And get your asses out!
Russia, if you’re listening: STOP BOMBING UKRAINE.
Like sending ICE officers to amble around the National Mall, or the Border Patrol to raid an empty park in LA, the Alaska summit appears to have accomplished nothing other than making Trump look tough and to get b-roll for White House social media. What a waste of time and money.
"Next time in Moscow" like he's ordering Trump around and of course Trump acts like a child.
The "no agreement" Alaska Summit proves that Donald Trump is so superficial, he's willing to sacrifice the dignity of the United States for a cheap photo op with a murdering war criminal.
BREAKING: The scheduled luncheon between the U.S. and Russian delegations has been CANCELLED after no deal was reached. Trump is returning to Washington immediately.
WATCH: “The constitutional interpretation has been misapplied.” 🤔 Senator Hagerty says he has a bill to only count citizens in the census—but there’s a citizenship clause, the constitution clearly says “persons” Related: Any thoughts on 2nd amendment interpretations, Bill?
It's more than fitting to be hosting the Global Aerospace Summit here in Metro East. This has long been a central hub of the industry. And Illinois will continue to be a place where major innovation will be made possible and where the aerospace industry is on the rise.

Between Trump’s authoritarian plan to occupy American cities, this scheme to invade our neighbors, and with FEMA not up to the task for any natural disasters— the military might be stretched a little thin. 🚨 Team Trump is actually drawing up attack plans for Mexico.
📌Trump used to travel thousands of miles to surrender. Now he does it right here at home. He's a gutless, bought-off goon, whose ankles are almost as fat as his head. He's a fascist and a complete failure. A convicted felon and a molester. A traitor and a ghoul. And today he will embarrass us again.
“‘This place is controlled by goons in masks in unmarked vehicles chasing down American citizens just because of the color of their skin,’ Doilez said. The Doilez’s voted for Trump twice! At least they have the guts to say that they now regret it.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
It’ll be funny when @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social asks for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s endorsement
Border Patrol agents assembled outside a Los Angeles museum where Gov. Gavin Newsom was holding a rally and news conference on congressional redistricting. Local elected officials expressed outrage that the agents decided to stand there in a brazen show of force. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/u...

Son of immigrants, Marco Rubio, calls human beings "despicable" and wants to dump them in other countries like trash. Since he loves authoritarian cruelty so much, he should deport himself to Cuba’s dictatorship and stop violating the rule of law. If despicable has a face in this story—It’s him.

Chief Pamela A. Smith’s order effectively serves as a carve-out to how the department enforces a broader ban that prohibits the local police from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.
These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.
Moore: We were able to see historic drops in violent crime, and never once did I activate the National Guard to do municipal policing. This is not about performance — this is performative. They are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this military fetish
Your help is greatly appreciated!!!
