Evil, evil, evil.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Real evil shit.
The judge for some reason apologized for not knowing that SCOTUS shadow docket orders are considered precedent, which is something no one else knew either until a couple of weeks ago.
BREAKING: Judge Breyer rules that President Trump's deployment of the military to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, says Trump is using military as a "national police force with the president as its chief." Injunction granted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Man, I feel this. đđ˝đ
Rudy Canât Fail Card cheat Giuliani says he crashed while trying to save a young Janie Jones from a hateful loverâs rock. But itâs more like likely he had brew for breakfast instead of koka-kola when he was lost in the supermarket on the way to his brand new Cadillac. by Maureen Dowd
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).
I made this for the first time recently after a Greek friend brought me the correct beans. It is one of the best things Iâve ever eaten!
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdownâso @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program thatâs built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
Now they care about data privacy
ICYMI â JUDGE: âThis case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcastâŚâ 2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. đ¤ˇđťââď¸ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...
Get in losers, we're doing soft secession
A big difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans understand the science of political communication. Republicans dictate the topics/terms of debate while Dems (and the left) usually burn energy in constant response. Thiel and Co call this mimetics, Lakoff calls it framing.
Donât trust the expertsâ? Thatâs not democracy, thatâs recklessness. On a plane, I want a pilot. In a hospital, I want doctors and scientists who understand the evidence. Expertise isnât religion or authoritarianism â itâs training, accountability, and data. Ignore it and we all pay the price.
Well this is sobering : âproduce prices could rise 50% to 100% by early next year as inventories clear and new contracts kick inâ < fortune.com/2025/08/28/t... >
@nytpitchbot.bsky.social has the hardest job in show business

The crime wave continues: Two masked men abduct someone going to work at 7:20 am on 14th St NW in Columbia Heights, Washington DC, and pack him into a black Ford pickup with Texas plates. via www.instagram.com/reel/DN8Qu1W... #bigballsgoonshow
UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Humana have all faced lawsuits over their use of AI to process prior auths and claims, yielding a whopping 90% reversal rate upon appeal. The problem, of course, is that most people do not appeal, and rates are especially low among less affluent patients.
On the new acting CDC director. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Molly O'Toole: "On way 1st day teaching journalism course on covering immigration, met by ICE in Mt.Pleasant at Lamont - agents appear to take father driving young daughter, likely to school. Agents shoving bystanders, daughter sobs itâs her fault-sheâd seen car parked for 2hrs. Trumpâs America"
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
đ¨ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting Hispanic drivers in the DC area today, targeting work vehicles like trucks and vans. A friend who was targeted sent me video today. Hereâs a picture that shows one of two agents before he pulled on his mask. Unmarked black Ford truck, plate: NTV9211.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
On the one hand, having the CDC crumble the same day the COVID vaccine is restricted & there was another mass shooting of children is pretty bad. On the other hand, 10-12 million people are about to be priced out of their healthcare coverage and another 12-14 million will have to downgrade theirs.
There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
Sorry can't stop Neo-Nazis murdering kids in Minnesota, Kash Patel sent 30 FBI agents and a dozen ATF guys to arrest a DC jaywalker last night.
It is a tribute to our dysfunctional information environment that right-wingers can basically commit 99% of the domestic terrorism, for *decades*, and that simple fact never penetrates to the public. They pay zero political price.
Update: it got funny again
Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
This guy is the worst. There was a lengthy profile on him recently. We shouldnât pretend he doesnât matter, because quite a few people in and adjacent to the WH believe every pseudo intellectual word he says.
HAHAHAHA they couldnât get a grand jury to indict our sandwich hero Iâm dying www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Fuck these Nazi scum www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...
A little on the nose for someone who was famously accused of plagiarism

This is the second day in a row heâs said this. This is an intentional normalization effort.
Turkey: 16 years :: U.S.: 8 months
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
Trump keeps insisting we're the envy of the world but they have a weird way of showing it
Youâd think the centrists and establishment people would all be going apeshit for Pritzker because theyâre always looking for a new John D Rockefeller but I get the sense that they havenât thrown in with him because heâs a little fight-y and not obsessed with bipartisanship
The transformation of the Washington Post editorial page appears to be complete.
They should have let him cook. We could have had nice things.
he probably just went to an all ages show last night
Really awkward to see this in the DoD website.
As always Trump turns subtext into text. He knows his base. (Goes on to say "I'm not a dictator," etc. but this is a classic way he floats ideas he wants to normalize.)
this was an entire bit on the latest episode of South Park

Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Donât regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.
i'm not going to co-sign everything in here but i will say that i hope david shor is exiled to st. helena
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

i asked my therapist what weâre meant to do when the causes of our stress/anxiety/anger/depression are inarguably real, material, and beyond our power to change or escape, and he was like âyeah, as a profession, weâre still working on that oneâ
No bottom. www.npr.org/2025/08/23/n...
You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.
Trump already tried once to cling to power via fraud and violence. Everything he has done over the past six months virtually screams that he will do the same thing again, but with far more planning and preparation.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MEDIA.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
We have to look in your house to see if you are committing any crimes is Stasi logic
No one would be confused about what's happening if you saw it in another country. No one.
The FBI's raid on Bolton's house is the latest escalation in the administrationâs use of law enforcement against its perceived enemies. FBI Director Kash Patel has a particularly contentious view of Bolton, whom he's called an "arrogant control freak" and part of the "Executive Branch Deep State."
I would love to see a detailed legal analysis on how this is possible. Are they being deputized as civilians?
Autocratic and tacky to boot: âImmigration and Customs Enforcement is seeking to spend millions of dollars on SUVs and custom, gold-detailed vehicle wraps emblazoned with the words âDEFEND THE HOMELAND.ââ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
This. And that we are still not demanding accountability from those journalists whose cowardice and complicity have created an anti-civics, anti-democracy ecosystem of political discourse amazes me.
Happening right in front of us
Investors are crazy about AI because if you interact with chatgpt and you do not really understand how llms work, it feels like they've made a thinking computer. But they haven't. They have made a computer that can output extremely plausible speech, which is not the same thing.
"We need to fashion a broad countermovement to replace the old right/left divide with a new liberal/illiberal one. That means opposing bigotry and uniting around core liberal values: tolerance, pluralism, equal protection under the law, and accountable rulers" www.theunpopulist.net/p/liberals-n...
Here is an image of the crowd of people that chased a dozen ICE agents out of Columbia Heights yesterday. I donât see one âelderly white hippieâ there. I do see a wide variety of ages, genders, and races; DC residents united in disgust at what Miller is cheering on.
I encourage everyone to read this dystopian story. A Meta chatbot invited an old man with a stroke to visit âherâ apartment; he died of a fall on the way there. And deeper in the story are appalling details of what Meta deems acceptable- including this gem on colon cancer treatment with crystalsđł
Officer Daniel Hodges: "Jan. 6 was an actual emergency that they could have activated the National Guard for...But Trump sat in his little chair and watched us get beaten on Fox. I had someone try to gouge out my eyes, someone beat me with my baton. But apparently that wasn't a national emergency."
Hoagie assault guy, if convicted, will be punished more strongly than J6 folks who beat police officers with poles and other objects and are now walking free (and probably joining CBP)
âPresident Donald Trump has expanded his military campaign against the United StatesâŚâ is the only way we knew how to start this piece.
California Deputy AG: "What James Madison would have done and what he did was he drafted a Constitution that would not allow the President to deploy standing armies... as a king had" before the Constitution's ratification in 1788.
HAPPENING NOW: Day 3 of the bench trial in Newsom v. Trump. The state of California is seeking to enjoin Trump's use of the military for law enforcement purposes. Judge Charles Breyer just took the bench to hear legal argument from the parties. I'm covering for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow đ§ľâŹď¸đ§ľ
So, if you look at the history of other authoritarian regimes and how they took power, a false flag operation would often be employed. My advice is to say hi to them, give them some zyn and rip-its, and a pamphlet on the posse comitatus act and their right to ignore illegal orders.
If I was a Democrat in Congress and I wanted to show my bona fides as someone willing to actually fight, I would organize daily protests against the NG in DC and vigorously amplify them on social media. There is absolutely zero reason not to make images of troops on the streets a daily news item.
Proof you can run a campaign that makes people feel joyful and also punch the bad guys
They recovered over 180 bullet shells at the CDC. Debris from shattered glass is still being cleaned up. I am completely stunned at how quickly the news cycle has moved on. This was an act of terrorism targeting public health experts, and the response seems to be a collective shrug.
WTF
Another one.
sorry you're experiencing record breaking temperatures and drought. Have you tried deleted some of photos of your grandmother about it?
I canât help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.
Weird how calling global warming a hoax hasn't stopped it yet. Maybe if we all vote MAGA harder Or we could try being more racist, maybe that will work Or we could worship oil and AI
lowkey destroying me that feds are getting assaulted on the street by the pink polo set
đCan somebody explain to me why the fucking media won't use the word "fascism" to describe what the hell is happening right in front of our eyes in the United States???
I asked a retired Oxford historian about the most catastrophic historical event in his lifetime; he said Munich. He then added that the election of Donald Trump in 2024 will be even worse.
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
Sickening. Every journalist in America should think deeply about the fact that most American politicians are willing to accept and indeed facilitate the murder of our colleagues.
Multitasking matters. Yes, the news cycle is chaos, but donât let this weekâs distractions bury the Epstein story and Donald Trumpâs role in it. Heâs counting on you to look away. Donât.
Somebody said the other day â was it @warren.senate.gov? That in our society, the poor get punishments, the rich get incentives.
holy crap. "In Ireland, there are more than 80 data centres, gobbling up 50 per cent of the electricity in the Dublin region, and hoovering up more than 20 per cent nationally, as they work to process and distribute huge quantities of digital information."
