BREAKING: In the foreign aid funding case, Judge Amir Ali finds that Trump’s “pocket rescission” does not change the executive branch’s obligation to spend appropriated funds unless Congress acts on his rescission request. Along with other findings, Ali then grants a new preliminary injunction.
Never heard a more spot on description.
The Irish comedian Graham Linehan was just arrested by British police for rude X posts—which is “totalitarian, absurd, and a waste of police time,” @helenlewis.bsky.social argues.
The Trump administration’s decision to grant military-funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt is the latest move to turn the perpetrators of one of America’s darkest days into heroes, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:
Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Seriously 💥
Thanks to the President and Congressional Republicans’ decision to gut the clean energy tax credits I wrote, $14 billion in clean energy projects have already been canceled or delayed. America should be leading the clean energy future, not turning our back to it and ceding leadership to China.
A must share
Trump’s fight against Harvard used antisemitism as “smokescreen,” judge says
NEW: Colorado Gov. Polis executive order on COVID vaccines. It effectively grants a prescription to whoever wants the vaccine, allowing them to get vaccinated without a doctor visit. State-regulated health plans would be required to cover the cost. Some employer health plans may not have to.
LA City Attorney: Businesses are empty and shuttered. The city’s law enforcement personnel have received countless 911 calls about what, for all intents and purposes, looks like a kidnapping. That’s what it looks like — individuals who will not identify themselves.
Just to be clear, he made sure jets flew over the gut wrenching press conference held by Epstein’s survivors, and called them liars, before it was even over.
So Hegseth’s missiles were fired at a boat: ✅ they had no idea where it was going ✅ they had no idea who was on it ✅ they had no established authority to act ✅ but definitely wanted to murder whoever was on it Everyone involved should rot in prison forever
Maine wants to send Susan Collins packing! So do I!

Most of my family lives in Florida. When they ask whether I'd ever move back, I often say its not safe for kids (citing shool shootings and LGBTQ policies). Can add one more bullet point to the list. flvoicenews.com/florida-gene...
After Republicans said no new increases for our K-12 public schools, I was proud to secure $1.4 billion in spendable revenue for schools, including bringing the special education reimbursement rate to its highest in 30 years. We must keep fighting for our kids and their futures.
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
"I didn't talk about the culture war issues, I talked about the kitchen table issues." @jenrubin.bsky.social talks with Iowa State Representative @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social a Democrat from now running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Joni “We’re all going to Die” Ernst.
Shuler: We are living in a very cynical moment right now. So many people are cynical about our politics. They’ve lost faith in many institutions in our country. But there’s one institution they still believe in: unions.
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
Epstein abuse survivor says Epstein's "biggest brag" was his connection to Donald Trump.
Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”
#YesScotland🏴
It's gonna be awful for the rest of my life. And all cuz America just couldn't deal with a successful Black president earning his way into the house built by slaves.
Of Ghislaine Maxwell.... The survivors said, "She was a major architect of the scheme"
CNN, MSNBC, and Newsmax are currently covering the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Fox News and NewsNation are not.
Mike Johnson’s district depends on Medicaid, yet he’s leading the charge to rip it away. Families in Louisiana are already struggling to pay rent & groceries. Now Johnson’s cuts threaten their doctors, clinics & kids’ care. #HandsOffMedicaid www.npr.org/2025/08/28/n...
My latest on how Donald Trump is bringing the authoritarian playbook to America went out to Democracy Docket premium members. Help support DD's 20 person team and its pro-democracy mission by joining today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0 Here is an excerpt.
A federal judge ruled that Trump’s use of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles earlier this year violated a federal law that prohibits using the military as a domestic police force, and blocked the use of troops beginning September 12.
More government sanctioned quackery… with a dose of lunacy on the side.
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
"As the Trump 2.0 regime has already demonstrated, it’s dangerous when a dictator begins to confuse his own idiosyncratic (and often performatively sadistic) fantasies with the desires of the public at large. Indeed, it can be downright dystopian." — @davidrlurie.bsky.social
AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.
Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & well, 👇
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.
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."
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
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.
100 VICTIMS is astounding. Even more astounding, that's less than 10% of Epstein and Maxwell's victims.
Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Paramilitaries, you say? 🤔
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
In @theatlantic.com the former First Lady advocating healthy lunches is just like the hhs head being an anti vaccine quack killing people. Stop the planet I want to get off.
No notes
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Not only will Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie be at tomorrow’s press conference with the Epstein survivors — but Marjorie Taylor Greene will be there as well.
We haven't seen this kind of hijacking since 9/11. The people on AA11, UA175, AA77, and UA93 did not deserve it. Neither do we. It has to stop now. Every American has a right to live that no hateful, stupid, self-absorbed, mediocre, and ultimately disposable ideology can take from us.
mRNA vaccines are one of if not the most studied human inventions in history at this point. It's madness to say that they are somehow not well-understood!
Wow. I’m thinking of the influencer trad Mom whose toddler just drowned in their backyard because Dad was betting on sports & despite having an infant & a toddler, they’d still not put a safety fence up around their pool. People really need these programs.
Eric Daugherty has a bachelor's degree from Florida Gulf Coast University, but assumes he's qualified enough to assess Judge Jia Cobb, who graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern and cum laude from Harvard Law School, clerked for an appeals court, taught law, and made partner in a law firm.
Surely, the decision to hold a military spectacle at that time is just coincidence.
Venezuela says the US and Erik Prince have plans to stage an attack on an ExxonMobil off-shore platform as a pretext to invade it…and normally that would be an insane claim but… www.latintimes.com/venezuela-sa...
It’s corruption, plain and simple.
Tariffs: illegal Mass deportations: illegal Occupation of US cities: illegal The 2028 Dem nominee needs to make clear that there will be no “immunity” for lawbreakers—criminal or civil.
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.
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "I was elected as the Labor Secretary for all Americans" (She was not elected)
It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
So, the 34-felony convict liable for sexual assault will have awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to an adulterer (Limbaugh), an election fraud charged with 9 felonies (Giuliani), and a pedophile protector (Jim Jordan). The medal is now meaningless.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
I hope he beats her butt! Metaphorically speaking ofcourse
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
something something two weeks tremendous never seen anything like it huge many people saying
I don’t normally ask to hear from the president but it’d be nice to see if he can still complete a sentence
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Elon Musk will be championing the Tommy Robinson 13/9 rally, on grounds that Nigel Farage is "weak sauce" on mass deportation and too soft on Islam Govt not even reviewing its use of X since 2022 shows different rules apply to Elon Musk than we expect of every school-child on British values
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
Just had to pass this along again, in honor of all the working people who keep America going. #LaborDayWeekend
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
