Trump says without tariffs, our country would be “completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated.”
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program that’s built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an “unannounced location” at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. “There was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,” the pool report states.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
“Since Mr Trump singled out India with an unexpectedly draconian double dose of tariffs earlier this month, he has reportedly phoned the Indian prime minister on four occasions to seek a compromise. Each time, the Indian leader refused to pick up.” (The Telegraph)
A plan for Gaza circulating within the Trump administration calls to “voluntarily relocate” Palestinians, establish U.S. control, and turn the area into a “gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.” (Washington Post)
Heckuva job, Donald
This is the kinda stuff right wing media said when Michelle Obama oversaw a school nutrition program fyi. Glenn Beck transcript is from 2010.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?

Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳
TRUMP IS AMERICA’S BIGGEST LOSER.
Here's what happens next:

NEWS: Trump says the court decision deeming his tariffs to be ILLEGAL will "literally destroy the United States" if allowed to stand
A seismic decision: Trump's tariffs are deemed UNLAWFUL under IEEPA. The court directed the Clerk to withhold issuance of its mandate until October 14, giving the parties time to petition the Supreme Court.
Did Trump just give Ghislaine Maxwell a "get out of jail free" card? Katie Phang reports on the latest developments.
NEWS: Iowa U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), who recently told her constituents "we're all going to die" anyway when asked why she supported Medicaid cuts, does not plan on seeking reelection in 2026. (CBS News)
“Hair, Gel, and the Art of Being so Handsome” 😂
Gavin Newsom responds to a completely fake Vanity Fair cover being spread by MAGA, who think it is real
Meiselas: I saw a headline, “Trump Stamps Dictator Chic on Washington.” And they don't even see the problem with that. I feel like one of the last survivors sometimes in a zombie movie, where the zombie hasn’t gotten me yet.
Meiselas on GOP now saying it's the states' job to lower costs: So everything that happened with the economy while Biden was trying to put out the fire created by the arsonist Trump during his first administration, was blamed on Biden. But Trump makes everything worse, now its a state issue?!
Watch the full episode: youtube.com/live/lkNYAY3...
Brett Meiselas: Israel’s assault on Gaza City has killed 61 in 24 hours, over 62K since it began, and injured 159K. Entire areas are leveled while propaganda claims “all is fine.” Propaganda tries to hide famine and devastation, but we must speak out against these genocidal actions.
Meiselas: I go through Trump’s messages he sends—like this one from this morning: "Do you want a DOGE check? Tell me here." The email says, "Should bonus revenue from tariffs go back to the American people via a check signed by Trump?" In addition to being fraud, they got their frauds confused.
Watch the full episode now:
Meiselas: It seems that the outcome that Republicans want is whatever the worst possible outcome could be. More disease, more deaths, more murders, a horrible economy. And let’s literally pick the worst people for each possible position at every level.
Federal agencies revolt against the Trump regime as he purges competent leaders, Republicans continue to get booed, Newsom goes on offense, atrocities in Ukraine and Gaza, foreign leaders snub Trump and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast LIVE NOW!

You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
Wow
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.
NEWS: A federal judge just BLOCKED Kari Lake from ousting VOA Director Michael Abramowitz, saying that Abramowitz can only be removed by a majority vote of the VOA’s advisory board — which Trump fired. Trump will have to replace the board members before Abramowitz goes anywhere.
Shuler: Thirteen billionaires in one picture—four of whom now run agencies of our federal government. If you’ve ever met someone who says the word “oligarchy” is too confusing or too complicated, well, you can explain it with that one photo.
Shuler: This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos, or the same broken status quo. We wanted cheaper groceries—and we got tanks in our streets. We wanted affordable health care—and instead, 16 million Americans are about to be kicked off their coverage
Shuler: They want to convince people that we are each other’s enemies—that we need to fight one another to land a good job, to find a home in a safe neighborhood, that only so many of us can live with dignity at the same time. But we are not each other’s enemies. We are each other’s neighbors
Shuler: Next Monday is not just Labor Day—it’s the start of Labor Week. Marches, rallies, and trainings: hundreds of thousands of working people coming together from this coming weekend to next, kicking off the single biggest year of action from now until next Labor Day
Shuler: And when you ask the most vulnerable workers in this country—those workers still have faith in one single thing. Seventy-five percent of them say they believe in unions.
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Now is the time to fill the void. Thank you @meidastouch.com for the trust.
Garcia: We wanted the birthday book. We wanted Alex Acosta. Republicans refused. We told them that if they chose not to subpoena or bring in Acosta or the book, then we were going to try every single thing we could—forcing votes to get these documents. And so Comer kind of agreed to our demands.

Update via AP:
JUST IN: Active shooter situation at Catholic school in Minneapolis
A judge once said any good prosecutor could indict a sandwich. Well, the Trump DOJ just failed to indict someone for throwing one.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Breaking news: The Trump administration placed some FEMA employees on leave Tuesday after they signed an open letter of dissent about the agency’s leadership, according to documents reviewed by The Post.
Read more about this major Democratic victory here:
Her Republican opponent, meanwhile, ran as a hardline MAGA candidate—backing Trump’s immigration crackdowns, opposing abortion, denying climate change, spreading anti-vax conspiracies, railing against “woke,” and parroting Trump’s 2020 election lies. You get the point.
Drey, 37, is the founder of Moms for Iowa, a grassroots group advocating for gun safety and reproductive rights. She has served on local boards and state committees and pushed to boost education funding in the district.
This was a race the DNC heavily invested in, mobilizing more than 30,000 volunteers for get-out-the-vote efforts and extensive text and phone banking.
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat Catelin Drey FLIPS Iowa SD-1 — a district Trump won by 11.5 points in 2024 — defeating Republican Christopher Prosch in a landslide special election and breaking the GOP supermajority.
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.

Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Jordy: I call it the leaky fascist faucet. You have CEOs giving Trump gold, then it's let's do a little gerrymandering, let's send the National Guard into this one city, and the next. And then? It'll be: We need to deploy the military during elections to make sure no "election fraud" is happening.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Trump makes his autocrat move to take over the Fed. Hopefully she will challenge this in court.
Governors push back as Trump threatens to deploy the military, fresh questions over his health, Trump bows to Putin again, GOP defends Ghislaine Maxwell & more chaos. Plus, a big announcement. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8p ET/5p PT!

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
