Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
Apparently, Trump thinks every day is a holiday because all he does is golf interspersed with a 3 hour fondling meeting and topped off with a big sharpie EO Whew, he must be exhausted.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
A gift for Gavin!
I love Chicago!😍
Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.
If Trump gets into heaven, that is proof that there is no God.
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Maybe he is getting chemotherapy and should be isolated so as not to get an infection? Would explain the hand bruises and hats.
No candidate interviewing for medical school who, upon expressing RFK jr's views, would ever be accepted. They'd be laughed right out of the room. And yet this man runs the HHS – including the CDC, NIH, ACF, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA? WTAF?! Remove RFK jr for dereliction of duty. Immediately.
WTF are all you commie libs talking about? He looks great!!
He’s going try to bankrupt America, but we’ve got to continue to fight for our democracy.
"Looking out for our neighbors and lending a helping hand to those that need it. The ‘American way’ used to mean something in the world: it is time to return to our previous ideals.... "Before it is too late we must remember who we want to be and what we are collectively working towards."
So last night I decided to try a piece of banana bread my wife made. I immediately felt bad because I found it incredibly dry and quite bland; I didn't have the heart to tell her. Today I learned what I'd eaten was a regular piece of bread she put on top to keep everything fresh. I'm an idiot.
Too bad the White House is not a crime free zone.
You ever see somebody so old and sick they don’t walk in...they creak in? Breathing like Darth Vader with bronchitis. Let’s be honest…there’s no way this guy makes it another year. A stiff breeze in March might finish the job. He's a very ill man.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Fatality.
These MAGA justices are letting Trump get away with murder www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Everything we take for granted — weekends, paid vacations, sick leave, safer workplaces, health care — exists because of unions.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
HE DOESN'T CARE.
So they sleep wherever like the homeless they are getting rid of?
🔴 Need a laugh , today ? 🤭🤣🙃🤭 #Dogsky #Dogs 🐥
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
Yep, husband and I would agree with that!
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
We could use a real scientist to do that.
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…

What a creep.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
“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.
They’re totally going to do this.

NRA owns the GOP
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

Like a deadly virus, created in the lab of bad public policy at the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 has been let loose on our nation with impacts we are all just beginning to comprehend. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
Chicago keeping art alive:

Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
The Pedo Protectors are apparently gathering in Columbus, OH, this weekend for the Texas v Ohio State 🏈 football game @MikeCareyOH15 @GregAbbott_TX & @JonHusted drunk on corruption #OhioState #LaborDay
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.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn’t eligible for asylum because it had been more than a year since he entered the country. So Kristi Noem allowed him to reenter again this year, resetting the clock. He has now applied. Kristi is smart that way.
Apparently Jesus was busy with Mass instead of protecting his flock.
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
Newsom: This cannot be normalized. And yes so I'm highlighting some just just blatant hypocrisy. Yes, we are putting a mirror up to the lunacy that is trump's tweets and his grift.
This is the funniest video I've seen today... 👀😅🤣 #cat #catday #bluesky #animals
My youngest made a friend at his new school. This friend doesn't eat lunch - doesn't bring one from home nor buy one at school Youngest shared some of his lunch yesterday and asked if he could bring extra for his friend, so now we are just going to send an extra meal with him Proud of my kiddo
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “If a Democratic president were doing any of these things you would be losing your mind.” 🎯
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
I absolutely love the FEARLESS Dr. Peter Hotez!!!!!
Like I needed another reason to love NYC.
This smacks of authoritarianism. The President needs to appear before Congress and explain these dismissals to the American people. Lives are on the line. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
Very Christian of them.
PBS News Hour is, hands down, one of the most worthwhile news programs. Support public media: www.pbs.org/passport/
When are the Congresspeople going to put a stop to all of this horrific sht every single day? Additionally, Trump is wasting so much taxpayer money, he is going to bankrupt the U.S. in less than 2 years at this rate. Prisons being built and torn down, a "gifted" jet costing taxpayers millions. Ugh
Animals feel…
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
How many strings of pearls does that woman have for clutching?
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
WASTE! FRAUD! ABUSE! Send the $400 million bill to Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump. 🚨Alligator Alcatraz will be empty within days, according to an email obtained by ABC News.
Will wonders never cease?
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just demanded a special Senate committee hearing on the crisis at the CDC, making RFK Jr testify under oath on the disaster he's created. Go Bernie!
Two factor authorization successful! 😊 #dog #dogday #bluesky
Half of Christian evangelical television is definitely on the Epstein List.
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
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.
"There was gunpowder on my neck." A 10 yo who said the bullets went right past him. MEDIA- PAY ATTENTION. YOU DO NOT PUT A CHILD WHO HAS "Gunpowder on his neck." On TV to win a rating. NO. NO. NO. SHAME ON YOU. There is no excuse for putting a traumatized CHILD on TV.
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
Giving military honors to Ashli Babbitt is the cherry on top of the $5 million Trump gave to her family. Meanwhile, there are dead and maimed Capitol police officers who have been treated with disdain and hostility for doing everything possible to protect the members of Congress and the public.
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
This scene from Rogue One perfectly sums up the experience of living in America, right now.
