Was the competition among states to prove which one was the stupidest announced, or was it just understood to exist?
Heroes, all. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🫡
👇🎯 He can, & will, do all of the illegal things until the other people who are also violating their oaths of office to preserve, protect, & defend the Constitution of the United States stop doing that & start doing their own damn jobs.
CNN is unwatchable since being MAGAfied by its new owner.
WOW, look how scared Donny is! 🤔
The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction for disputes between states (meaning they can actually file the lawsuit there, rather than have it go up on appeal). This would be a good time for Illinois to utilize it.
Anyone who votes for this should burn in hell.
We are now a terrorist nation.
you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
#EpicTrumpCorruption
The fuckery never stops.
TRUMP DID THIS. And then he bought off farmers with billions of our tax dollars, which will not replace their lost market.
So pleased to follow you! Especially as our EPA head says he is “driving a stake into the heart of the climate change religion.”
“Extrajudicial” may as well be their middle name.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Let me tell you a story about one of these hardcore criminals who was born into a very wealthy family. Despite his life of obscene privilege, he relished being a scam artist his entire life. Conning people made him feel powerful…something he would later parlay into politics…
Good job from Kasie. Body Count Bobby changes his tune depending on his audience. He LIES in Congress and MSM but tells his niche audiences what he really thinks—as borne out by his ACTIONS to endanger us all.

Yes: What comes next? Trump only escalates when he gets away with lawlessness.
Perfect!
🚨 SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 18. Millions of Americans took to the streets in June to drown out Trump’s birthday parade. As Trump’s regime escalates his authoritarian power grab, we’re gathering again on 10/18 for a nationwide day of peaceful protests to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
Terrific plan thread
I think it's wonderful of the Trump administration to show their support for the bravery, heart, & tenacity of Epstein's victims who will be at the US Capitol during the military flyover. Because I'm sure that's why it would be scheduled at the same time. 🙄
Mass arrests in Georgia are pushing protestors towards the edge "We have nothing left to lose, so everything begins now!" #3E (📸 @True_Georgian )
This is how you do it, folks.
ICE can now hack into any phone—track an individual’s whereabouts, read their messages, look at their photos, open and read information held on encrypted apps. Graphite can also be used as a listening device. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
President to announce his plan for more waste, fraud & abuse.
An obvious ruling on a clear law. AND YET, we wait for the #CorruptRobertsCourt to invent some “doctrine” to allow unlimited power for our self-declared Dictator.
They know they’re breaking the law. They also know the courts will be slow to call them out on it. Meanwhile they get to do their damage and get the military used to domestic incursions. This ruling should halt any plans they have to invade Chicago. It won’t.
Pulp magazine cover vignette of FFOTUS chaos. his is how Tulsi Gabbard, Russian asset and minion of the First Felon of the United States, sees herself in her dreams.
We are witnessing a shift in the balance of power in real time. The attendees for the military parade in China are a who’s who of our forever enemies and former allies spurned by Trump’s stupidity. (1/3)
The data Trump says was hidden. 🙄
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
What a lovely tribute.
And Kim Jong Un arrives tomorrow.
ive got no idea what's going on with Trump's health. But the 'biden precedent' is just so glaring and hilarious. half of 2025 has been taken up with elite press shaming of how no one ever talked abt Biden's age which was actually their main topic in 2024. Ok. Set aside that his party literally ...
EXACTLY THIS. The Grifter in Chief rewards other grifters with OUR MONEY.
Obvious bot blocked. Thanks.
Out on the West Coast, I stay up until you post. 😊 G’night!
ICYMI — “LA wouldn’t be standing today” This is a real thing @Sec_Noem said on tv, with a straight face
Too late. It’s already happened. 🥴
Sent it to a few thousand folks via FB groups, too, Charles. Really appreciate this.
Heads up, folks! “All told, that's around 40 different major policy changes impacting the U.S. healthcare industry ... over half of which will either be fully or at least partially implemented before Nov. 3rd, 2026.”
THANK YOU! I will send folks to this info. “All told, that's around 40 different major policy changes impacting the U.S. healthcare industry ... over half of which will either be fully or at least partially implemented before Nov. 3rd, 2026.”
RFK Junior is ENDANGERING OUR LIVES‼️
A+ post. Yay for our National Guardeners!
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
He does not dare to leave office. Then he’d be sentenced for the felony convictions.
SMDH
Except they cleverly timed it for most of the damage to occur AFTER that election.
TACO
WAY TO GO, UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT. You know who wouldn't have done this? President Harris. You live, you learn, I guess. 🤷🏻♀️ US reportedly suspends visa approvals for nearly all Palestinian passport holders www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...
More framing like this, please www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
5calls.org makes it easy.
After Biden/Harris did a lot for unions, 1 of the biggest unions refused to endorse a candidate & their leader spoke at the GOP convention. Agree that unions are vital. And they also are going to have to stop kicking themselves in the head if they want ppl to support them.
Who tosses things out a window from the White House?!
Why, I am sure Elon’s infamous drug abuse has NOTHING to do with his erratic and self-sabotaging behavior.
I can hardly wait. 😊
Rural communities and people with disabilities will have even more limited access to health care. Families with low incomes who rely most heavily on community clinics and health departments will have fewer resources available to them. Children will lose access to lifesaving vaccines due to cost.
In his dreams. NO ONE WOULD COME. EVERYONE WOULD BE CELEBRATING IN THE STREETS. AROUND THE WORLD. 🥂🥳
The lifelong cheater and abuser cannot change.
👏🏼👏🏼🫡
This thread is a MASTERPIECE.
MORE GOOD SCIENCE NEWS!
WELCOME NEWS during the #TrumpDarkAges
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.
Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, Netanyahu could kill 53,000, and Putin could kill millions. The table of impunity only gets longer. It’s important to fight tyrants at all levels. #3E
🧐
Yet another oligarch/nation-wrecker to have on your radar.
😂
Trump lies because it works for him. Americans have to stop being such gullible rubes. Watch what he DOES.
Trump is just a mark, who delusionally THINKS he is a mastermind. TRUMP UNDERMINES THE USA DAILY.
🧠🪱Bobby is ENDANGERING OUR LIVES.
I hope we will see him here, too.
I made it to morning AND afternoon demonstrations, if only to spite Ghoul Stephen Miller’s estimate of my old-lady capabilities.
You can read this thread without being on Xitter. Marshals evidence that Trump has been suffering mini-strokes. twitter-thread.com/t/1962233429...
Let’s see. Who should I trust? My own doctor, 1,000’s of scientists, & researchers. Or someone who thought using heroin for 12 years was one of the best things he could have done, swam in a sewage polluted creek with his grandkids, had a brain worm, has no actual medical training. Tough call.
I believe that is called “weaponization of government.”
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.

God help America if we ever have a major war again or a depression. Apparently, if everything doesn't go perfectly in a crisis half the country just completely falls apart. It really wasn't the end of the fucking world that things shut down for a while during COVID. The problem was all the dying!
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
He’s not traveling to NJ like they had announced. Not even to Florida. Sure does seem like someone is staying awfully close to Walter Reed, doesn’t it?
To be clear: Trump’s tariffs + Trump’s trillions transfer amount to the biggest tax INCREASE on regular folks ever… yet @MarshaBlackburn calls it “the biggest tax CUT ever” — because for rich people it is, and they are all she cares about. She hopes we don’t understand this.
In a rare moment of near-national unity, Americans are decisively rejecting President Trump’s tariffs.
BUT BIDEN'S HEALLLLLLLTTTHHHHHHH!!!
😳
JUST IN: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, reports that all of the migrant children have been returned to ORR custody.
@angry-woman.bsky.social
THIS is how the Madman in Chief will try to drown out coverage of the Epstein victims’ press conference on Sep. 3.
What these Schatz posts say to me is that Dem elected officials like him seem incapable of perceiving the right as a *political movement.* The response to Covid mitigation and the Floyd protests was not a spontaneous reaction...it was a right wing backlash organized by a reactionary movement.
And all because Modi refused to nominate The Dear Leader for a Noble [sic] Prize.
Reminds me of him signing the blank piece of paper at Bethesda Naval Hospital with Covid.
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.
