Exactly right..
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

“Peter Thiel’s AI Palantir Is Supercharging Trump’s Lawfare” In May, Trump’s FHFA Director Bill Pulte announced a “partnership” w/ Palantir to “establish an ‘AI-powered Crime Detection Unit (CDU).’” The CDU promptly began “work at the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae)” 8/29/25…1/

While the U.S. spent a half a billion dollars painting a fence black on their side, Mexico invited artists to paint their side to express their artistic talent. 💗 The contrast between the two countries highlights each country’s priorities.

California stepping up.
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Haha
L.A. Taco is an incredible locally sourced organization that does a lot of old-fashioned shoe-leather reporting.
This refusal marked a turning point in relations: Washington imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods, while in India, Trump was openly called a "traitor" and his effigy was burned at a festival. - NYT
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
The non vaccinated maga campaign people sent me their “terms and conditions”. (I didn’t ask for it). This is a campaign they launch with paid posts, promoted content with ten influencers launching at a time to support RFK Jr’s nonsense. So expect a wave of bs.

What a ridiculous person.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
Your dad was Mario Cuomo.

California’s homelessness growth rate last year was lower than 40 other states, including Texas and Florida. The work doesn’t stop here. With our new SAFE Task Force, we’re going to bring it down even further to ensure that everyone has a safe place to call home.
If Republicans really think there is a national emergency to justify the tariffs, why don’t they just pass them in Congress like they are supposed to under the constitution. This is supposedly a national emergency, but they are gambling on the Supreme Court while doing nothing?
CHICAGO…
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.

Benny Johnson, a right-wing podcaster, is among the new media figures who enjoy rare access to the Trump administration in exchange for their promotion of the White House’s agenda to millions of online followers. He stands out for his record of plagiarism and promoting false claims. nyti.ms/4gb5yn1

They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.

Science: Trump supporters are assholes.
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
Now this is the attitude ALL district attorneys need to take when it comes to dealing with Trump.
Joni Ernst voted to strip healthcare from 100,000 Iowans and brushed off Medicaid cuts saying, “we all are going to die.” That’s not leadership—it’s failure. Iowans deserve better.
Trump is not known for picking the best people. Recently confirmed DC prosecutor has already had 3 cases thrown out of court for being ridiculously flimsy and lacking evidence. One of them involved a sandwich being thrown at Customs Border Officer. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news

I’m sure these people are thrilled that they’ve been called away from their families and jobs to deal with DC’s crushingly important mulch emergency. So much government efficiency.
It is a constant surprise that this menswear guy's account is one of the funniest things on here.

"Her patient had signs of what could be a cancer or could be an unusual infection — diagnoses that would require completely different treatment. Ordinarily, she would confirm an infection after sending a sample to the CDC for testing ...the CDC no longer has the capacity to do that"

So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
At 3 pm Wed., a woman was stabbed just off a busy intersection on H Street, NE. National Guard members were dining al fresco at a taqueria DIRECTLY across the street, yet the suspect got away. "So safe," a local texted us. Our postcard from an Occupied D.C.: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The shooter was posting about shooting up the church for a month and the FBI was too busy doing Trump’s dirty work to flag it. Now I know for sure if that happened under a Democrat that failure is all we’d be talking about right now.
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"

Important information from @aclu.org on your rights in protesting. Thanks, Sarah- please spread far and wide!
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.
I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.
It's really not that complicated. Listen to Dick.

Lisa Cook lawsuit v. Trump: "Independent Federal Reserve also prevents presidential administrations from using monetary policy for self-serving political ends.. such as ensuring the govt cannot simply print more money to finance debt. This practice, when unchecked, can lead to economic collapse "
Shooter was a detransitioned anti-trans Nazi whose ideology was in lockstep with 99% of Trumpism. But the fascists won't let the truth get in the way of an extermination plan they were already working on anyway.
