NOTHING TO SEE HERE EXCEPT THE WORLDS MOST OBVIOUS CORRUPT CON MAN BEING PRESIDENT OF THE USA
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
You don’t say.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Fun fact the Biden administration took the military’s recommendation not to move to Alabama because it would hurt readiness and retention. Unless I’m mistaken, abortion is legal in Colorado but not in Alabama.

New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."

Holy crap, NYT let Charles Munger Jr. write an op-ed opposing the California redistricting without disclosing that he's FUNDING the opposition to the California redistricting. I have 4 mailers he paid for in my house right now and that's just the beginning. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o...

The interview covers many subjects, but that got me. apple.news/AVAphqjqnQGe...
@wired.com sat down with @theonion.com ‘s CEO, @bencollins.bsky.social and what struck me in this was at one point they both talk about how they’re the few remaining that are still covering what’s happening. A tech magazine and a satire site. Neither anticipated how easily media would fold. /

That’s a different case and standing from what I’ve read. He probably cannot change the name of a department as it’s quite clear in legislation what the funding is for and what department Congress established
The "War Department" thing's been a weird paleocon idée fixe my whole life and now the entire Executive Branch is populated by weirdo influencers who maintain their positions in the grifter firmament by throwing red meat to a base powered entirely by negative partisanship.
This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The “Department of War” was really just the army. I hate how stupid Trump’s most performative actions are.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Armed ICE goons violently arresting peaceful protesters at the Metro Detention Center, Downtown LA, 9/1/25. People have been protesting there 24/7 for more than 50 days.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

Ports across the country were planning to become economic hubs for the growing offshore wind industry. The Trump administration is cancelling grants to build the infrastructure for it.

Rather than reproaching Israel for human rights violations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Trump administration is taking aim at its critics. Rubio just expanded sanctions on the judges & prosecutors of the International Criminal Court for probing alleged Israeli and US crimes. wapo.st/4nahJCH
On September 2nd, 1864, Conferderate forces surrendered to Union forces under the command of General William Tecumseh Sherman in Atlanta. It was one of the most decisive victories in the Civil War. On November 15th, they continued their march south after burning much of the city to the ground.
WWII ended 80 years ago today, as Japan surrendered on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
Our country's founders put in place numerous checks on a potential future President if they were to act like an unhinged authoritarian, so they were ready for a monster like Trump. But what they did not predict was a compliant and subservient Congress that would let him do anything he wanted.

While the U.S. spent a half a billion dollars painting a fence black on their side, Mexico invited artists to paint their side to express their artistic talent. 💗 The contrast between the two countries highlights each country’s priorities.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
Trump wants a cut. He wants vaccine manufacturers and research institutions to come begging and offering him something in exchange for him “letting” them do business. How do you think Putin created “his” oligarchs?
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet

Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if I wanted to weaken the U.S. to the point where an enemy foreign power to whom I'm indebted and at risk of being blackmailed could seize control, I'd do precisely what Trump has done. Trump’s Diplomacy Is America’s Weakness open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
