Russia tried to assassinate the President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen by jamming her plane while landing. So far Europe has ignored the issue as to not give Russia the attention it wants and to quietly prevent themselves from reacting to this significant escalation by the Kremlin.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!
I mean ffs even the Supreme Court wasn’t willing to find Trump’s calls to state legislatures to try to rig the 2020 election in the “outer perimeter” of his Article II duties and they are willing to let him off the hook for anything.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
He’s a Russian asset so anything that interferes with or outshines oil drilling is a no-no
Now Trump’s war on wind has escalated to possibly canceling a huge project that is almost finished: the Revolution Wind project, about 12 miles south of the eastern edge of Rhode Island. prospect.org/environment/...
Governor Ned Lamont govnedlamont Revolution Wind will deliver a much-needed new energy source to Connecticut and Rhode Island and lower utility costs for consumers. It's already more than 80% complete, and this order from the Trump administration puts all of that at risk.
The Trump administration just halted construction on a nearly completed wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island. We can't let this outrageous attack on renewable energy go unopposed. I just added my name to 350.org's petition — will you join me? act.350.org/sign/aug-25-...
Lily really wanted to come outside and be part of the party today and my daughter filmed it and added a soundtrack (volume on)

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Oh
CHICAGO…
‼️‼️
In any other timeline, a dog-eating, bear-dumping, whale-chainsawing, sexual-assaulting, brain-wormed moron like RFK Jr, a man with no medical degree who swears he can diagnose kids just by looking at them...would exist only as an Onion headline.
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
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.
Hope SCOTUS enjoys being treated like Trump’s lapdog
Jesus crimson! Well, you probably could design an even lovelier dress yourself!
Excellent question.
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

Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr poised to surpass gun violence as leading cause of death among American children.
I’m in! How do we get this started? I hate the notion that we are held hostage.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
Ooh.
Don’t look away
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Was there a follow up? 🤐
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
YES! WOW.Just wow.
He lost his mind years ago. But this community note😂😂😂
Yes and, everyone needs to stop overlooking Stephen Miller and Russell Vought. They are the puppet master and architect of all this very intentional destruction of systems that protect all Americans.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
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.
70 years ago today, 14-year-old Emmett Till, an African American from Chicago, was brutally murdered for allegedly flirting with a white woman four days earlier. When you see “MAGA,” realize THAT was the America Trumpers are saying was “great.” I want a GREATER America than that. We all should.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
Regrettably, brain worms are not fatal. But the pig-ignorance of the HHS Secretary is going to kill millions of people before this is all over. And that's the best-case scenario. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...
Are vaccines safe? Let's ask this guy who sounds like a dying refrigerator compressor
National Guardsmen collecting garbage would not have stopped the shooting of children in Minneapolis
These guys should be home with their families.
😔🕊️
Michaels: I have not had one single invite from a conservative news outlet. I have family members saying to me, “Well, why aren’t you talking to Megyn Kelly? Why aren’t you getting out there on Fox?” They’re not asking.
So the guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize and claims to end wars wants to call the DoD the War Department? Mmmkay.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
rfkjr: we just want people to be able to make choices about their own health america: cool can we choose to take the covid booster rfkjr: lol no
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
The mobilization of the National Guard in Blue areas now has nothing to do with Crime and everything to do with declaring martial law before the midterms in 2026.
I would like to mention that Hegseth told the National Guard to arm themselves. On American soil. Against fellow Americans.
Has everybody heard that Veterans against Trump have started a peaceful sit in at DC's Union Station? They say they will stay until the National Guard leaves DC. Think about joining if you are a Vet.
January 6: when he SHOULD have called in the National Guard. Unpardonable. Leave Chicago and DC and LA alone. Fascist control not wanted.
Pulling the COVID vaccine off the US market is diabolical. Fascism affects everyone. It doesn’t matter how white or secure one may think they are, you will not survive by being silent and passive. NO ONE IS SAFE.
I hope people find a way to get the COVID vaccine before it’s taken away. As for me, my family and I are luckily up to date. We just can’t get a new updated booster because of this. Still sucks though 😩 RFK Jr wasn’t satisfied with killing the people in Samoa 😡 www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
PRO DEATH WHITE HOUSE—The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” says one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.

This is 100% correct.
A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.

A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
This man has way too much power, and most people have no idea who he is.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Pritzker gets it.
I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health
Apparently, some National Guard Troops are willing to violate the law & their Oath to take up arms against their fellow citizens. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of federal military personnel, including the National Guard when under federal control, for domestic law enforcement purposes.
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
