Can someone in the legacy media explain to me how this is not front page news? How is it that only Democracy Docket is covering this unfolding authoritarian takeover? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Recovering FL Republican. Previously art and science daily, and now it turns out I'm just an anti-MAGA anti-DeSantis troll. I will spray biblical verses at Christian Nationalists

This is a race you might like to support. Fairly sure there's no naked pictures of her in the rooftop pool in Moscow.
I’m just a girl, who did a spinal tap on a preschooler last week, asking you to fire RFK Jr.
Soybeans are collapsing because China isn’t buying them. The farm economy is in deep trouble. Because of our needless trade war that we are clearly losing. Maybe farmers will wake up
This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...
Word of the day is ‘tamalou’: a French name for an older person who no longer greets their friends with ‘how was your holiday?, but with ‘t’as mal où ?’, ‘where does it hurt?’. There follows an enthusiastic account of aches and pains and doctor’s appointments.
I’m sorry but if you’re going to misuse funds to buy a home why would you choose THAT home
Insane, perhaps, but most certainly garnering MAGA favor for political points. His calculation is that career opportunities > public lives.
Yale Law School never beating the “they don’t teach law at Yale” allegations
It's a Horah.
🚨BREAKING: Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.
BOLLING: Trump can prove it's a hoax by releasing it. Let us decide if it's a hoax or not. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: It's not a hoax. BOLLING: You gotta give MAGA this.
The cold pleasure he feels, sending people to their death, is unholy.
Well, valar morghulis, y'all.
The ad campaign criticizing the use of masks by federal agents working in Washington, D.C. has expanded to 115 bus stops, per organizers
Can we finally be rid of the pearl-clutching coalition?
It has been the honor of a lifetime to be collaboratively working on cases the last 7 months alongside legal legends like @normeisen.bsky.social The fight will continue. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
And then the revolution was blacked out.
I was there, in my local, red, sweaty, Florida county. Waving the flag and making eye contact with the passersby.
Nate misses your hat change. It was the highlight of every new cycle.
maybe it was bad to allow the claremont institute to train sheriffs who will now receive bounties from the government for snatching people off the street.
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.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the 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?
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Can we raise our steins and sing another stanza of "Hunter Biden's Laptop"?
I'm convinced that his admissions application was rejected at Harvard, Columbia et al.
He is a lab-grown Thiel/Musk creature, whose sole function is to occupy the Oval Office. Not having the charisma to win the presidency on his own, it was essential that he be slipped in under Trump's coattails. Now the wait is on. Will Trump take the Golden parachute, or suffer a slip-n-fall?
Labor Day, in red county Florida.
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
You are so right, but if people "feel" like crime is through the roof, because they are being lied to. Messaging has to address what people are feeling, otherwise their vote cannot be won.
Enormous impoundment-related changes in Trump/Vought's Circular A-11 update from Friday, which is OMB's guidance to agencies They: -removed the definition of impoundment -said GAO's impoundment determinations don't matter -claimed pocket rescission authority -claimed profound deferral authority 🧵
/2 SALLY: Bluesky. It can be a happy place. An exciting place. A popular place. [CLOSE UP ON SALLY’S FACE] But every day, for some pundits, it is not a safe place. [A TEAR FORMS IN SALLY’S EYE] [VOICE IN BACKGROUND] Jesse Singal. Bari Weiss. Richard Hanania.
Isn't rickets caused by a lack of vitamin C?
Thank you. Back to the protests today!
Even the most hale adult would have turned to jello, having undergone this ordeal. Those poor kids. Wretched DHS.
As we denizens of the Bible Belt all know, lying is considered a feature of Satan, the deceiver, father of lies.
Great coverage of the live trial. You are the best.
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
Also, they can say whatever they like
NEW: Judge Sooknanan now orders the govt to explain why it has failed to meet her 4 p.m. ET deadline to give a status update on the Guatemalan children who are supposed to be removed from planes and returned to Office of Refugee Resettlement custody.
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
But if you use flag to beat up a policeman at the US Capital, you get a job in the Justice Department.
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
The money people don’t want the tariffs. Who has the most sway? Stay tuned boys and girls for the next episode of The Price is Right.
Oof! My husky doesn’t allow anyone to watch or walk or make noise in proximity when she eats. She won’t take a treat from a hand. you have to respectfully put it down and slink away.
Good news everyone we can all go back to shitting in the drinking water for freedom
Committed by the Musk legion, from the bowels of the Trojan Horse. That was the purpose of that whole ugly gig. The biggest data heist in the history of the plant, and sold as some cost cutting bullshit.
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com

It’s pretty striking to me that by scrolling Bluesky’s “Popular With Friends” tab for a few minutes I can get up to speed quickly with the breaking news of the day but if I were to just scroll X’s “For You” page for the same amount of time (or more) I wouldn’t even know there was a school shooting
You'll never guess what party this guy's in www.wral.com/news/local/s...
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:
The whole thing was a Trojan horse operation to commit the biggest data heist on the plant.
Walking and quacking like a duck...
This is a feature. Knee-capping the United States is the point.
It’s not about being clever. It’s about realizing we live in an algorithmically driven world. Where information is delivered to everyone individually. No two feeds are alike. You either break through or you don’t.

We demand due process for criminals, and refuse shortcuts, because we understand that in this ingress, the erosion of our liberties creeps in. So, too, do we rail against the revenge of Donald Trump, even when heaped upon the most loathsome, murdering neocons around. Even so, no sympathy from me.
Your occasional reminder -- as arrivals on student visas decrease 28% -- that tuition from foreign students counts as an export, which means that every rejected student visa is going to contribute to the US trade deficit. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
John Bolton presents a conundrum. On one hand, he is a murdering neocon, whom we loathe, on the other he called out Trump for what he was, and is now eyeballed for revenge. It'll be interesting to see whether (as is typical) documents were requested for return first, or whether drama was the point.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha issued a statement to the Kyiv Independent stating that the facility "has nothing todo with defense or the military."
Tulsi Gabbard revoked the clearances of 37 people yesterday: they “weaponized intelligence” by claiming Putin preferred Trump, she says. The only problem is…there’s video of Putin saying he wanted Trump. Here it is, along with a quick explainer of the latest bullshit in the Gabbard Files saga.
How it's done. Gather in numbers and stroll them on out.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew claims he’s spoken to “large numbers” of dead people who had mail ballots sent to them
Ed Martin’s latest stunt: pressuring someone he is criminally investigating to resign from public office “as an act of good faith.”
That's what I reckon
Used to be the only Buc-ee's on 95 was going north towards the GA border. My (grown) kids viewed it as a destination. I went to my first WaWa when my son was at school in NJ. Everyone was happy when they came down to FL. Even so, nobody would work one in as a "must stop" on a road trip.
A good map to pass around.
I am intrigued by the idea that Putin would accept a security guarantee from the US, which would presumably rely heavily on the EU, and sounds a lot like Ukraine being a part of NATO, w/o actually being a member. Trump is completely untrustworthy. A lot of work required to make this viable.
It’s absurd to use Trump in the same sentence as “guarantee”... It is hard to think of a guarantee/pledge/vow/promise that Trump has not broken (e.g., his marriage vows, his oath to uphold the Constitution). open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Remember all the stories legacy media peddled last year about how Trump had changed his mind on mail-in voting? How the GOP now embraced it? In article after article, Democracy Docket called it out as BS at the time. Support pro-democracy media by signing up for DD today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Awesome. All the more reason to release the unredacted, complete, files and expose all those D pedophiles.
Trump is being very naive about this war except when he is cynically advancing his own personal interests or those of his benefactor Putin.
So, illegal is okay, if it serves some desirable purpose? Did I get that right? Let's flip that around on about a million other things.
The "kill all pedophile party" is really a cover for the "Pedos United" party. Honestly, why would Netanyahu go to such lengths for a pedophile? We know why Trump would...
I mean, sure, but that was Steve "Dim Philby" Witkoff. Not clear if he knows what any of this means. He knows how to chase real estate deals tho.
The U.S. Constitution gives a heck of a lot of power over elections for the House, Senate, and President to *Congress.* It gives precisely zero power over elections to the President. Trump’s bluster is scary, but it’s also bluster.
From Russia Today's Telegram channel, this morning
He can't hold up in an intense meeting with his peers, intellectually or temperamentally. He is a mad, cornered bear, and cannot be shamed or reasoned with. He responds to flattery, money, and opportunities for revenge. If they can make him believe Putin is making a fool of him...
Dozing and posing, Bonsai Cat.
Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."
Good ole Babs #BarbaraWalters #PedoTrump #ConmanTrump #FelonTrump #ProudBlue #Pinks
BRENNAN: Well that February meeting in front of cameras where Zelenskyy was dressed down-- RUBIO: Do you know how many meetings we've had since then? BRENNAN: I was just up in Alaska watching the one with Vladimir Putin where a red carpet rolled out. It was very different
In other words: They lied.

I don't think this, from Xitter, has made it over here:
That might be the point.
The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.
Sort of. They will go and coagulate somewhere, and then there isn't any leverage. Disperse them w/i the agencies, keep track of them, hold their pensions over their heads.
Any moment now, and they will be controlling weapons.
WATCH: “What they’re building is largely something else.” @nerd4cities.bsky.social did a deep dive on the VEGAS tunnel - he says Musk promised one thing but built another… and did NOT help traffic… as they drill into NASHVILLE with @govbilllee’s blessing. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DNTKS_R...
this rightwing mindset i think is what made elon musk to make the cybertruck completely bullet proof as if the average person is driving through war zones, because conservatives like this think they actually are
