This shows why Mamdani is meeting such success in NYC: he understands the voters’ concerns instead of delivery consultant-driven “talking points”. We need many more like him.
Eighty. Four. Percent. Decline. Tesla barely hit triple digits in Sweden in August. You love to see it. 🇸🇪 #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall
President Trump has ended collective bargaining rights for more than one million federal workers. Unions have sued to block the move, but agencies are terminating contracts as litigation continues.
So the First Lady is rarely in DC these days, tending to official duties. The press doesn’t even notice, having given up on covering the laziest First Lady in history.
Where’s the Mrs?
Thread: this is Russ Vought giving himself permission to ignore Congress and the constitution
I’ll be showing the same respect and compassion for MAGA lunatic seditionist Rudy Giuliani that fascist republicans showed Paul Pelosi when he was nearly assassinated, none.
He doesn’t go to Florida in the summer months, too hot in Palm Beach. Not sure about air travel.
Kennedy has got to go. NOW.
To note
Second floor kitchen pantry window, very odd.
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.
NEW: This morning, DOJ's Drew Ensign confirmed that the last of 76 children the Trump administration tried to put on planes & send to Guatemala in the middle of the holiday weekend are back in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the result of a well-timed lawsuit & fast-moving judge.
A diligent and serious Judge, seeing to justice for each and every one of us.
@atrupar.com Any word on the whereabouts of the current Mrs Trump?
Where is Melania?
In other words, the US is left behind in global affairs when once we dominated them.
This is what we’ve been saying: Russia’s economy is facing a catastrophe. And these figures are from *before* Ukraine started its successful campaign to degrade Putin’s oil facilities. (Data from Bloomberg via @jayinkyiv.bsky.social on the other place.)
Why is the felon in DC this long holiday weekend when everyone else is away?
American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children 6 months & older should be vaccinated. Kids under 2 should be vaccinated because infection can serious or fatal for kids of that age American College of Obstetricians & Gyn say pregnant women shd receive vaccine. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
Nut case.

No one needs to wonder any longer how nations morph into police states under the thumb of dictators determined to wreak vengeance and destroy the lives and livelihoods of millions. It happens gradually and then suddenly.
100+ years of CDC Directors support our client Dr. Susan Monarez. Powerful. "None of us would have agreed to the secretary’s demands, and we applaud Dr. Monarez for standing up for the agency and the health of our communities." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
So, remember MAGA is far from a majority and the Democratic consultants who advise us not to call the felon or Vance or any of the other ones “weird” are out to lunch? Pose that question to John or Jane Doe and be ready for something a lot stronger than “weird”!
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
Booze or a sex worker or both involved?
Nonsense as usual.
Whether or not these people are actual foreign agents is almost irrelevant. Their actions are observationally equivalent to & indistinguishable from the actions actual foreign agents would be taking. The consequences of our total Article I constitutional crisis, right here:
The Guardian: Oval Office nightmare, above; elegance below…

Nice:
Hideous & inappropriate for an American president’s office. His bad taste is on display for all to see.
And when we have a diligent, conscientious Judge who’s serious about the course of justice.
This is what happens when you obliterate the presumption of regularity. Endless homework assignments because the court can't trust the government to follow orders in good faith.
From slashing funding for food banks to cutting grants for cancer research, DOGE has taken a hatchet to programs that aid vulnerable people. If DOGE won’t follow transparency laws, it will be harder to hold it accountable for the results of these cuts. americanoversight.org/as-doge-cuts...
Less than zero interest in this grifter.
Check the Police Report, wildly at odds with this statement.
UPDATE: DOJ says it expects that the children will be returned to ORR by 10:30 pm. The report also offers some clarity on how many children were loaded on planes (76, purportedly). (But the putative class isn't limited to those put on planes today -- plaintiffs estimate # in the hundreds)
So, does ANY WH Press even bother to verify the long weekend location of the current Mrs Trump?
The felon has ALWAYS turned on those who sold their soles to pledge fealty to him.
Studio Mellone: Miami
The felon: truly as simple & plain as this…
So true…
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
Hanging around DC over a holiday weekend with everyone away is so out of character; there must be a reason.

💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
What an astute and conscientious judge.
“.. with the exception of the pandemic, Black women have never seen such staggering losses in employment.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
So Guiliani was in a car crash, injured, and the statement his spokesperson put out is wildly at odds with the police report. Wonder which one is true? (Just kidding).
Wildly at odds with Rudy’s goofy statement. (He hasn’t been “Mayor” for decades).
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
Yep. Normally, he'd make a beeline for Bedminster or Mar-a-Lago before the end of the afternoon on Friday. He's gotta be in really crappy shape that his physicians didn't want an AF1 flight between him and Walter Reed. But, he insisted on the *show* of heading to Sterling, VA as proof-of-life.
What a story!
I appreciate your explanations, which are often far from apparent on the surface. It’s the price to pay to be well-informed. Thank you.
Why isn’t there moral uproar nationwide over Trump’s abuse of the National Guard?
Facts are stubborn things…
Income INEQUALITY has never been higher yet it’s usually the upper income voters who command the media’s attention.
This federal judge understated the matter when she called “surprising” the government’s attempt “to remove minor children from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend.” She was right to issue a temporary restraining order. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
Not speaking to the press for days-when has that EVER happened with the felon?
💯.
JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.

Superb TV film!
A plain truth…
News:
Alert to all 50 states:
He gave a media interview on Saturday, radio I think.
Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknanan’s clerks this Labor Day weekend
I don’t understand the felon’s campaign to label good things as “hot,” as current as “bee’s knees,” no?
There’s a reason he’s remained in DC over a long holiday weekend, with everyone else out of town. Near to Walter Reed, perhaps?
David Stark
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).
The truth about “voter fraud.“
Nathaniel Russell house, Charleston 1808
Trump's dictator moves like calling in the national guard or ballooning the ice budget are designed to enrage you, but also to desensitize you to his authoritarian behavior. As Rick Wilson says, we can't let that happen:
Look at MSM, treating these Trump urban occupations by the military as NORMAL. Unconscionable.
“What independence means is that the technocrats at the Central Bank use economic reasoning, data” to achieve economic goals, says Fmr. Fed Chair & Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen. ‘Americans need to worry’ about political interference. It’s “a recipe for runaway inflation.” #Velshi
Brandon Johnson signed an executive order barring the city's police from collaborating with federal officers on civil immigration enforcement operations, and U.S. military personnel on police patrols.
Modi wouldn’t nominate the felon for the Nobel Peace Prize, as If that has any bearing on our dealings with India.
🇮🇳
I doubt it’s safe for him to fly medically. Also probably needs to stay in proximity to Walter Reed.
BREAKING: A judge blocks the Trump administration from removing a group of Guatemalan children after some were loaded on planes at a Texas airport.
Any why did the felon spend a holiday weekend in DJ, with Congress & everyone gone, and not at his NJ golf club as usual?
Too bad THIS DOJ cannot be taken at its word. PROVE their assertions in court is the only way to deal with Bondi’s dishonest DOJ.
