Somebody is throwing things out of a window of the White House wtaf
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
A DOGE whistleblower revealed that employees uploaded a Social Security database—containing full names, dates of birth, and addresses of hundreds of millions of Americans— to a cloud server without “independent security or oversight," creating “enormous vulnerabilities" to hackers. trib.al/FDTWG43
You guys see where this is going? Right?
I called this segregationist way back in February: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
donald trump has been convicted of more felonies than 99.9% of Washington DC residents.
We've (govt) "taken in" = we've (Americans) PAID.
O'Keefe to Noem: "At least 20 people who signed this letter were current FEMA employees & they've been placed on administrative leave. Is it now the policy of DHS that anytime an employee puts their name on something criticizing you or POTUS, they should anticipate being put on leave or fired?"
One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
To be clear: 1. We’ve taken in roughly $150 billion in tariffs - nowhere near a single trillion, much less trillions. 2. Tariffs single-handedly saving our military — which has been the strongest in the world for decades — is the dumbest shit I’ve read today.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

What a POS
DHS is now a megaphone for fascism. Nazi memes from a federal office prove this government is not protecting Americans, it is waging war on them. Cruelty is the point, hate is the brand, and history will remember the collaborators.
“They advocate the removal of almost all public officials and services, increasing the numbers of the armed forces and police, building up the capacity for repression by the powers that be, no longer public, but corporate and business. [DOGE and militia-style police (ICE)] is a trial run of this.”
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
He's apparently still kicking. @angrystaffer.bsky.social just posted a photo of him upright (barely).
"This is why liberals operate solely in reactive mode when it comes to Trump: Trump is the one constant when all else is chaos. This is a very unhealthy habit. We have a much better chance of combatting autocracy if people are creative instead of reactive." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/mafia-stat...
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

He's rehearsing for the next staged chaos he has planned. Remember, he was MIA for a week before Butler too. This is happening & he's terrified. Please, folks, stay focused & don't let him distract you from these brave souls. #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Hundreds of employees and supporters of the CDC lined the sidewalks outside the agency’s Atlanta headquarters for a “clap out” rally to honor three senior leaders who resigned a day earlier. Read more here: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
Gov. Newsom: I don't think Trump wants another election. Were you there January 6th? He tried to light democracy on fire. Now he's doing it in plain sight, and people say, 'Oh, just Trump being Trump.' You think he's joking about 2028? Wake up. You will lose your country.
To those who say I should talk more about the role of mental helath in school shootings. You are right. Let’s talk about Trump wanting to cut $1B from youth mental health grants and programs: nonprofitquarterly.org/how-trumps-b...
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
Whether it's Barack Obama asking for dijon mustard or RFK Jr. asking for a vaccine ban that will kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, there have been unusual requests on both sides of the aisle.
^meant Dubya's **mommy** (not wife)
Foreign doctors have been serving as medical volunteers, but must be approved by Israel to enter Gaza. The World Health Organization says denial rates have increased by 50% since March.
20 years since Hurricane Katrina. This video does a good job of capturing the chaos. Don't miss the quote by Dubya's wife Barbara at the end.😱👿 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blma...
I'm really glad she's suing! 💪👊

Three senior CDC leaders who resigned told The Post they were asked to participate in an unscientific vaccine recommendation process that they believe could harm the health of Americans.
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
She appears unaware or what her own government decided yesterday. Most of the country can NO LONGER get the vaccine. It isn’t about individual choice.
Sen. Smith: The number one cause of fatalities for young people in this country between 1 and 19 are firearms. This is a choice that we are making in our country. No one thing is going to solve this, but we can't just sit back and say there's nothing we can do
AG Ken Paxton declared three homes as his primary residence. Clearly he needed a home for his mistress and a man-cave. What? Aren’t those considered “primary residences”? Article: apnews.com/article/paxt...
“Firearms are the number one killer of our kids in America. That’s a uniquely American problem.”
Here he goes.
AP Livestream - CDC coming out in force to support our ousted leaders.
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
He is also one of the leading public health scientists in the nation, responsible for saving countless lives in and outside the United States, so there's that.
This is how it’s done.

A former CDC staffer adds: “This is the work of a death cult.”
A quarter of a billion dollars for this. 👇
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
From AI: California's national education ranking varies by source, but recent reports generally place its Pre-K-12 system in the lower half, such as U.S. News 2024 rank of 37th, while WalletHub's 2025 report ranked it 29th overall, but 8th for educational attainment and 37th for educational quality.
It won’t fit in screen shots but linking here the full letter of resignation posted by one of the departing CDC officials, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who ran the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and led efforts to fight COVID, monkeypox, and bird flu x.com/dr_demetre/s...
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
This is from Dr Demetre Daskalakis, who ran the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at CDC and resigned today. He specifically blames RFK Jr, the COVID vaccination recs, and decisions forced down from HHS onto scientists. Please read the whole thing. 🧪
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
🔥 White women in California slap Mexican flag stickers on their cars, sending ICE on wild goose chases. Civil disobedience with teeth. Be the grit. Be the sand. Break the gears. Make the machine choke on its own stupidity.
Several FEMA employees have been placed on administrative leave just a day after signing a public letter accusing the Trump administration of politically motivated firings and “uninformed cost-cutting.”
Well there you have it: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
This keeps happening. The IRS guy. The National Security Advisor.
Dr. Feroze Sidhwa has volunteered as a trauma surgeon in Ukraine, Haiti, Burkina Faso, and Ghana. But when he went to Gaza in March and April last year, it changed him. Sidhwa had never seen so much horror in his life. From 2024:
Everyone needs to stop forgetting season one, because honestly the writers are just getting lazy. We did this episode before. And yes, it was possible to survive with some modicum of honor. If you had some. taskandpurpose.com/news/mattis-...
This is what fascism looks like. And it’s here. In America. And only we the people can stop it.👇
The Trump administration placed many FEMA staffers on leave Tuesday amid fallout over a letter to Congress signed by current and former employees, who warn that Trump policies are putting the agency's work at risk. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/8/27/fema

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday were unable to secure a felony assault indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent on the streets of Washington this month, according to two people familiar with the matter.
For undocumented friends: What to do if ICE comes to your door.
We're all going to need new social security numbers.
DOGE staff at Social Security have put the sensitive data of hundreds of millions is at "high risk," which could have “catastrophic impact,” according to internal SSA docs. This was not only foreseeable, but widely predicted. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"
Hegseth: "Those who long for peace must declare for war-- prepare for war."

Many people picture a democracy becoming authoritarian as a single dramatic event, like the Bolsheviks capturing the Winter Palace in 1917. But often, especially in the 21st century, there never is one. It's more gradual, a process in fits and starts. Good explanation of that here:
The data begs to differ: www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/...
Analyst: We are at risk now of the Fed losing its independence. There's a paper that shows that when this political interference begins, it pushes the price level up by as much as 8%, and it may last for some time. If people hated inflation before, they will hate it a lot more down the road
To Donald Trump and his administration: If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
".. unless Pulte somehow had particular knowledge about issues with Cook's application, which is unlikely, then one has conclude that Pulte handed Fannie and Freddie a list of political enemies and asked for their loan files for review."
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
