No mention of Epstein, no real explanation as to why Trump was MIA this week, all lies about the sinking economy and rising prices, more racism and hate against blue cities and liberals... This is red meat for the hardcore base, but that is a minority.
Trump has accused Chicago of being the “murder capital of the world” despite data showing cities in several Republican states fare much worse.
The one where a national reporter finds out what I’ve said all along about Dems focusing on Epstein— voters are not focused on the files. Every group I’ve spoken to is concerned about Medicaid cuts and grocery prices and high rent. I hope Democrats will listen. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald 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. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump’s mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age
Great lead headline right now, @nytimes.com.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver promises lawsuit if Missouri Republicans gerrymander his district #moleg #mogov
3/ those rights have already jumped dramatically. Lutnick is one of two cabinet secretaries running Trump's demolition derby. Crooked as all fuck would be the formal economics term for it.
In Ghislaine Maxwell’s Justice Department interview, she comes off as pathetic, loathsome, and utterly lacking in remorse. The entire operation was damage control—an attempt to exculpate President Trump from his own involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.
Everything Trump touches is corrupted.
Have the people who put pads on their ear at the convention tattooed a big bruise on the back of their hand yet?
One thing they’ve been very successful at is making it so when sober experts put their careers and reputations on the line to issue grave warnings, it gets mostly a shrug.
Can’t go any lower
For being a corrupt, disbarred attorney who spread lies?
Labor Day in Concord New Hampshire - electrifying atmosphere! Pretty amazing
It’s worse. By not allowing access to the vaccine, we now face future financial risk should we get ill. Lost wages, health care bills. That’s if you don’t die. Vaccines were also to protect the workforce and economy. M Something these idiots don’t understand since NONE OF THEM ever had real jobs
One big beautiful stroke
I’m sure if Trump is at all impaired by a health issue people will be very understanding.
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.
Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.
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?
Trump deployed National Guard troops on multiple 29-day orders—specifically choosing durations under 30 days to avoid paying full Basic Allowance for Housing Type 1 (BAH‑1)." www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

FLAG: Missouri's governor just called a special session of the state legislature to pass a gerrymandered congressional map in favor of Republicans. Just like what Greg Abbott did in Texas.
The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Where are the Democrats holding press conferences and hearings on this shit? This is maniacal stuff. Pediatric brain cancer for god sakes. 🤬🤬🤬

Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician, voted to confirm anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. as health secretary because Cassidy thinks his re-election is more important than whether children die of measles or are crippled by polio.
RFK Jr is falsely claiming the CDC considers abortion one of the great modern medical advances. It doesn’t say that anywhere. In fact, the CDC lists reducing the number of abortions as a success. He’s lying. Ask yourself why.
Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning. RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.
"Billionaires pay a lower tax rate than the rest of America's taxpayers, new study finds The individuals who make up the Forbes 400 list, topped by Musk with $244 billion, paid an average effective tax rate of 24% from 2018 to 2020, compared with a 30% rate for all other U.S. taxpayers..." CBS
Sure a cop's dead in Atlanta after the CDC got raked with hundreds of rounds by an RFK stan but what's important is that Ghislaine Maxwell is enjoying her second helping of minimum security lamb chops.
To call Trump transparent is to insult the public’s intelligence. He’s hidden his finances, lied about health and wealth, and obstructed justice more times than we can count. Transparency is accountability—and Trump has built his brand on escaping it.
They know their boy Trump is going to give them what they want. He's just waiting a little until he can get away with it without too much blowback.
He’s wrong about everything, and thinks he’s right about everything. Hard to tell which is worse. The war will end when Russia decides no longer to fight. The US could make that happen with a few simple policies. Instead the Trump administration offers ridiculous analysis and pathetic excuses.

If he is removed to Uganda, Americans of good faith should take up a collection to set Mr. Abrego Garcia and his family up comfortably in a free Western country that will take them, where, frankly, they may well better off than we. We owe them that much.
It's beyond outrageous what Trump has done to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And it's all because he became the most prominent illustration of how the amoral, sadistic, lawless, mendacious, and authoritarian thugs who today control our federal government seek to destroy our constitutional order. ...
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.
The only thing we can ‘do’ to stop this is mass, sustained protests. I’m talking protests that are big enough to impact the economy. Folks who aren’t on political social media don’t think it’s bad enough for that yet, though, and I honestly question whether we have the attention span for it at all.
It's not about the facts, it's about the made for TV story. People believe their bullshit is the problem.
Please ask the next Republican office holder you see …”why are the small tax breaks for working folks temporary and the tax breaks for billionaires permanent?”
At least ten cities in states whose Republican governors are deploying National Guard troops to Washington, DC, had higher rates of violent crime or homicide than DC last year, according to a CNN review of FBI data. https://cnn.it/4mZjjHQ

It’s never good news when Missouri is Trump’s focus…
Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant. They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.

Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.” And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?
I’d say unbelievable, but this is completely on brand and believable for Trump. Photo credit: @therickwilson.bsky.social
Gavin Newsom is driving MAGA insane, and I’m loving it!!! 🤣🤣
Another federal court calls out Government request to release grand jury transcripts as a "diversion." "The Government's 100,000 pages of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70 odd pages of Epstein grand jury materials." Real transparency: DOJ can release the Epstein files.

He's so unwell. He doesn't give a rat's ass about peace, our country, global stability, or anything like that. It's all about him, his feelings, his ego. And until journalists start reporting it that way, they will continue to deceive themselves and those who watch and read them.
I have been banging this drum for six years.
They can be punished, but the damage is well done, and they've made their gains. This probably falls under the "cost of business" for them. We DESPERATELY need robust anti-disinformation legislation.
Womp womp
Dude, I’ve walked all over DC day and night. Sober and drunk as shit. Business dinner or happy hour oyster chaos. I’ve never once in the last 20 years even seen a fight there. Kids go on week/weekend school trips. Hell, the whole town smells like herb at this point. Trump is a freaking moron.
Oregon has had full vote by mail ONLY, for 38 years.
This is so fucking funny. They NEVER called out Trump’s posts that a lot of times were just fucking nonsensical and he’s the PRESIDENT.😵💫 Hey dodo media … we KNOW it’s not Newsom.
If doing a dead accurate imitation of the president is embarrassing yourself, seems that raises some other concerns.
It’s really wild that Fox is calling Newsom’s tweets immature and unbecoming of a leader when he’s literally just mocking the way Trump tweets. 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, this is a highly unusual all-hands-on-deck meeting that wouldn’t be happening if Alaska was productive. 5 European leaders, the head of NATO and the head of the EU don’t just drop everything and fly to DC. H/T: @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Yes, truly incredible.
Schiff: This guy ran on a platform of bringing down the costs for the American people, and he's a failure. He's a failure.
Newsom: And right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ice agents. You think it is coincidental? Donald Trump and his minions, Tom Homan, tough guy, decided, coincidentally or not, that this was the location to advance ice arrests.
Newsom: Here we are in plain sight before one vote is cast in the 2026 midterm election and here he is once again trying to rig the system. He does not play by a different set of rules, he does not believe in the rules.
"Silence is complicity...quit your job,” Retired DC Metro Police Officer @michaelfanone.bsky.social who was attacked on January 6th, 2021 urges federal officers he argues are "being co-opted by the Trump administration to do things that are immoral, unethical and, in many cases, unconstitutional."
