Who’s the mortician that did his makeup?
He ever read the warnings on Ketamine?
Photo of the Three Stooges promoting the polio vaccine for kids in 1961. You know your country’s in trouble when Moe, Larry and Curly Joe understand more about public health than the Secretary of HHS.

What a gang of mindless amateurs in Washington accomplished in Beijing:
REMINDER: It’s been 224 days since Trump was sworn in but he has still NOT released the complete Jeffrey Epstein files.
Did he make his cabinet do a 3 hour kiss fest and then just disappear?
As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle
From the people who brought you “This presidents policies and actions are attacked more than any others in recent history / Well maybe he should stop breaking the law to enact them”

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
Is this real?
This has been one of the bright spots in an otherwise very fucked up time. DC residents stepping up one person who is supposed to stand up for DC residents is @mayorbowser.bsky.social and she has not. Appalling
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
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."
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.
From public schools to private campuses to universities, no one is safe from gun violence. The only thing that will save lives is common-sense gun laws.
This isn’t really that strongly worded.
Slashing funding and jacking up prices for food, farmers, and families is cruel — THIS is the kind of pain Jack endorses. www.nj.com/food/2025/08...
considering republicans are trying to traffic children literally as we speak, “we will protect your children from republicans” is a broadly applicable goal that seems easy to sell but i guess we don’t talk about child safety at the kitchen table?
The buck will never stop with him.
“Nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos” is a genius turn of phrase.
Benny Johnson, a right-wing podcaster, is among the new media figures who enjoy rare access to the Trump administration in exchange for their promotion of the White House’s agenda to millions of online followers. He stands out for his record of plagiarism and promoting false claims. nyti.ms/4gb5yn1
"'What’s happening at the DNC right now is just farce. If you can’t raise money, you can’t register voters, you can’t put states back in play, and you can’t broaden the tent, I just don’t know what purpose you serve,' said a progressive Dem strategist."
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
REP. BUDDY CARTER: What eroded confidence in the CDC was the covid vaccine BEDINGFIELD: Who was president in 2020?
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
oh
If Trump keeps avoiding the public like this somebody's gonna have to write a book about Biden's health.
My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
That list should be the bear minimum.
"Trump’s age, his visible health problems, and the White House’s cagey answers raise real questions about transparency and capacity. Yet the institutions that pride themselves on holding power to account have largely looked away," @passantino.bsky.social writes. www.status.news/p/trump-heal...
“.. The Oval Office photos don’t resolve those questions. They raise them. And until the press decides to treat Trump’s health the way it treated Biden’s, makeup and memos will remain the White House’s first—and last—line of defense.” @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/trump-heal...
This is an AIPACx predator
Trump dies, Biden comes out to give a speech… “Total beta.” Drops mic. Polar bear plunges into Rehoboth.
Missouri Senate Democratic Leader Doug Beck releases statement upon governor's call for special session to gerrymander the state's congressional maps:
Killing clean energy projects means killing jobs and raising bills. 64,000 jobs already lost or at risk. 400,000 more on the line. The future is clean energy—and that’s where we must invest.
“Give your kids an extra hug and kiss today.” Jesse Merkel spoke at a news conference outside Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, where his 8-year-old son, Fletcher, was one of two children fatally shot at a back-to-school Mass on Wednesday. Read more: nyti.ms/45HBSKN
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.

I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
Good.
There's a Secret Slide in Every Government Building in America
Has a single member of Congress called for either to be ousted?
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "The Trump administration has not contacted me at all whatsoever. Nobody in my administration. They're just looking to invade the city of Chicago, not coordinate with law enforcement … not coordinating with the state of Illinois, the Governor or the Mayor of the city."
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:
this is one of the president's' closest advisors. the mainstream media refuses to reckon with this so substitutes in a fictional sanewashed trump and fictional west wing in which loomer doesn't participate in their stories. telling the truth would not help trump so they don't do it
This is great “you know you can just tell them to fuck off”
“What does that have to do with taking money from Blackstone?” The Israel part of @adamfriedlandshow.bsky.social’s interview with @ritchietorres.bsky.social is getting attn, but this part was also great. Hey media— what Adam is doing is called FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS. They are still currently legal!
This is one of the ways that white supremacy weaponizes civility: by implying that certain people get to be served, and other kinds of people (you know what kinds) need to be grateful, without interrogating it.
"I had never seen anyone virtue-signal so gracefully, so effortlessly. I was like, 'I have to work with this guy.'" 😂😂😂😂 Meet Cory Booker's (fake) political consultant, played by Zeteo's very own @heycapello. "No one does it like Cory." zeteo.com/subscribe
Pete Hegesth keeps talking about a warrior culture, which apparently means masked man kidnapping our allies to send them to our enemies to be tortured. Absolutely shameful.
"Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa has told confidantes she plans to reveal next week that she won't seek reelection in 2026, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News."
Trump's days are numbered. Maybe not in the way alot of folks on the Internet are suggesting but in ways we need to think about. There are some dark lessons of history that suggest we're in for trouble if we don't. www.thedailybeast.com/its-tasteles...
Someone tell DOGE a way that the gov't could have been more efficient, by not building a stunt concentration camp...
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Sir
After a Tesla driver using Autopilot plowed into a couple in 2019, crucial data detailing how the fatal wreck unfolded was missing. Then a hacker found it. Tesla later said it had the data on its own servers all along.
Coming to an American concentration camp in 2026
We have to remember this started under Biden. When Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019. And “killed himself” on August 10, 2019. A whole 2 years before Biden came to office. So you can see how he started this.
Q: "Now that you're in power, you say that there is no Epstein client list. Why do you think it is that so many of your own supporters don't believe you?" Vance: "We have to remember this entire story blew up during the Biden administration."
They aren’t paying attention. THEY SHOULD BE THERE in solidarity. They’re too busy making sure Hakeem Jeffries has enough “strong” words in his next letter.

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.
Swing and a miss.
Once upon a time, Barack Obama's $400,000 speaking fee and Hillary Clinton's $8 million book deal raised eyebrows. Now, President Trump has already made $3.4 billion *during* his presidencies. That's a stratospherically different level of profiting.
Uh, voters literally owe nothing to legislators. Not a fucking thing. Working in media, Dems would run away from mics and refuse to talk about anything of accomplishment and cede the messaging to GOP. Spare me, you fucking rube. THEY work for us, not the other way around.
Failed state.
Yeah. It’s happening here.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "I have heard about a whole lot of hate that's being directed at our trans community. Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity."
how it started vs how it's going
I was trained to be accountable and transparent to the people I serve, which is why you can read my concrete plans to bring down your costs — which includes bringing back the back-to-school sales tax holiday. Jack is a career Trenton politician who only has one move: blaming other people.
This is fucking appalling from @mayorbowser.bsky.social Choosing Trump and fascism over the people she's supposed to represent
trans people are not causing “trans terrorism”; trans people are disproportionately targets of violence and abuse not to mention government crackdowns
Ten year old student who witnessed shooting: "I heard [shots] again. I just ran under the pew and then I covered my head. My friend Victor saved me though, because he laid on top of me. But he got hit... He's really brave, and I hope he's good in the hospital."
Mush Brains going to have priests armed by the end of this week.
Innocent children were praying inside a church this morning when a gunman shot and murdered them. Prayers will never bring these kids back. Or any kids murdered due to gun violence. Prayers will never heal families and communities destroyed by guns.
These children were probably praying when they were shot to death at catholic school. Don’t give us your fucking thoughts and prayers. Trump got rid of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Trump gutted the resources that were in place to keep our communities safe.
A little on the nose with the whole “at least the trains were on time”
Fox News quoting one of the parents: "He just pepper-sprayed through the stained glass windows into the building, 50 to 100 shots." They're not even entering the schools anymore, they're shooting through the windows. Tell me how high-capacity magazines should still be legal, again?
