I swear to God, people are just *trying* to rile me up.
Oh let me guess, because he doesn’t want to pay the National Guard-eners, he’s going to release them and declare DC safe right?
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is headed to Beijing to attend a military parade with China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin, where observers are paying close attention to the possibility of a trilateral meeting.
Virginia and New Jersey are the only two states this year with gubernatorial elections, which will be crucial tests for both parties ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Wow he’s really gonna release the Epstein files!
Gold hit a record high as the prospect of Federal Reserve rate cuts and growing concerns over the central bank’s future gave fresh legs to the multiyear rally in precious metals.
It’s probably okay if the West dies off, we’re terrible at supporting sustainable climates, and abysmal at supporting a civilization that works together for a shared purpose of a harmonious future.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
They have jobs, lives, & families. And Trump is using them as political props. What a waste. Even though Trump is incapable of shame, this is shameful.👇
Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
Trump’s mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age
It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.

The lack of ego Rep. Nadler is showing is a perfect example of putting service before self. This deserves so many props and respect. Thank you, @nadler.house.gov.

Great quotes of history: "Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war." Otto Von Bismarck (See next quote...)
Some people are so mindless. Criticize far left policies that turn off a lot of voters we need to win, and they jump to the ridiculous idea that you're going to vote for the GOP in a contest between a progressive and a Republican. To be clear, I'd gladly vote progressive over GOP. Not the point.
Republicans will give Trump a pass as long as he can still make his windmill noises and say “Bing Bing! Bing Bong!”
"Speed over process": The U.S. military is stepping up its urgency in figuring out how it will counter the rapidly growing threat from small drones, which have become a centerpiece of modern warfare.

Life Lesson 1: “I am definitely alive.”
Trump on August 19: “I want to try and get to heaven if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole.”
1. Grift 2. Always have a bankruptcy lawyer 3. Also have a criminal defense lawyer 4. Make friends with foreign agents 5…
The White House just posted a video on its YouTube channel: “President Trump’s 11 Life Lessons” youtu.be/SXGIN7Er9Y0?... (I think he’s alive, but this has a strange eulogy-like feel given the timing and context.)

President Trump says…mkay Hold a presser, nothing is going to be believed until he says it on a live broadcast.
Happy Labor Day MAGA. Don’t let Trump BS you, he is the most anti-Labor Union POTUS in U.S.A. history. This is his constituency and you’ll never catch up. Wake the f*ck up.
“Piss off a MAGA” free meme, hot off the meme generator! 🔥 I used the internet, not AI. You’re welcome. ☺️
Did you see him say it?
Do you have India's phone number? Shouldn't journalism be based on facts and listen to all sides of an issue? Especially when it comes to a 'minor' country like India?
I don’t think India gives a fig about tariffs one way or the other. They can buy oil from Russia, electronics from china, & anything else they need from local neighbors like Vietnam and Indonesia. Their trade with the US is in services (and H-1B visas). The art of the deal strikes again!
Trump is giving in to the newly-minted consortium of Russia, China, and India.
Any piece that leads with “Trump says” should be deleted; who has time to read his daily lies, which media will not even warn us about.
President Donald Trump says India has offered to cut its tariff rates following the US imposition last week of 50% levies as punishment for its purchases of Russian oil bloom.bg/4p458TA 📷: Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images North America
They wouldn’t be laughing if Harris was President.
Let’s go.
I first fought alongside Jerry Nadler when we took on a corrupt bankruptcy system that was rigged against working families. When New Yorkers needed a champion, Nadler always had their backs. He’s a man of principle, and I’m deeply grateful for his years of public service.

Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
The moderation system here at Bluesky @safety.bsky.app is really amazing. An impersonator account scamming people was taken down within five minutes of reporting. The block function is nuclear. I can hide offensive replies, and even replies to replies. I truly feel safe here. Thank you @bsky.app
Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.

The essay, signed by nine former directors and acting directors, comes amid a crisis surrounding President Donald Trump's firing last week of director Susan Monarez.
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
NEW: This weekend in Trump's effort to make fascism happen. The Trump administration tried to illegally send children to Guatemala as troops walked aimlessly around Dupont Circle. This evening, at Law Dork:
Modi and Putin meet at a time when their relationship is under global scrutiny
Who’s it going to be Manhattan?
The current US government is insane. Modi declines to nominate Trump for a Nobel Prize, so he hits back with massive (and illegal) retaliatory tariffs, pushing India into the embrace of China (which for those at home, is exactly the opposite of US foreign policy and national security goals).
Seems trivial compared to the massive loss of life when Katrina hit 20 years ago last week, but another casualty of the storm damage was Amtrak service from New Orleans eastward to Florida. Rail service was finally partially restored as far as Mobile just a few weeks ago. www.al.com/galleries/BS...
If U.S. Brigadier General Frank L. Howley had gotten his way in the summer of 1945, I would never have been born. I'll explain!
I wouldn’t put it past him, especially if they want even more easily manipulated JD Prance in office.
5 years ago this @lincolnproject.us tweet went viral after Trump hadn't been seen for (not even) 2 days. 2025 and it's been 5 days since he's been seen. Very odd now.
Someone take his autopen!
Absolutely this.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

Betting that MAGA is going to feel and react very differently having their Medicaid insurance cut by Vance than they did by Trump especially since cuts don’t happen until after mid-terms. Heck, Vance could get 100% blamed for it.
Here’s my plan. Wait until after the Epstein survivor’s speak at the news conference and help combat whatever criticism the Right throws at them. Then I’m going hard & heavy with wedge politics between MAGA & Vance/Musk/Thiel. I hope everyone has their own strategy. Now is the time to execute.
So are we in a Weekend at Bernie's situation right now?
