"The lunatics are running the asylum."
We think we can’t handle it until we suddenly can. We think we are lost and then there’s a light shining the way. We think we are defeated but we lock arms and battle for what’s good and just and right. Navajo Nation Pug servant

"The lunatics are running the asylum."
The latest thing Trump has done to DC: Scare the visitors away. Damaging all the businesses, large and small, that depend on them. Along the National Mall today, 1pm, on a stunningly beautiful Saturday afternoon in late August. (Article and more photos to come later today.)
"There is one immediate and visible result of Newsom holding a mirror up to our Poster-in-Chief’s Truth Social habits: Trump is no longer posting in all-caps." www.thebulwark.com/p/thank-you-...

Exactly!
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
Donald Trump complaining about violent crime in DC is rich.
So with little security ie. No cameras etc. Will she be suspiciously killed? Nothing to see here....
Feelin' great yet everyone?
Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie
NEW: Thousands hit the streets of Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh, to protest at the arrival of Donald Trump. 🏴👏
“Only 13% think the government has been open and transparent about the Jeffrey Epstein case, while more than five times as many, 67%, disagree – including 60% of Republicans and 56% of MAGA supporters. One voter in five says they haven’t been following the case.” www.foxnews.com/official-pol...
Russia was never a hoax The 2020 election wasn’t stolen Tariffs are a tax on you Haitians didn’t eat pets The Epstein files exist
Word. #EpsteinFiles
Please get this to Trump...
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert
So grateful for the clear, unequivocal witness and voice of Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social who visited the horrifying detention camp in Florida. As he said, “I didn’t see any Russians who’ve overstayed their visas. Only Black & Latino men who look like me.” @maddow.msnbc.com
Gross. I have this exciting re-tweet to share though...

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
"These are not serious people" my g-o-d. If there isn't a better example of projection...sigh.
Josh Hawley acted like he was going to fight the Medicaid cuts that will hurt many thousands in his state - most his voters in rural areas. Then he ran away.
They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.
There are plenty of reasons to be disheartened and worried about the downward spiral in our country. But the hateful regime wins if we stop speaking out and give up.
Don’t let anyone say otherwise —> the Senate bill that’s being advanced this weekend very clearly will result in significant cuts to Medicaid. Over 70 million Americans rely on this program. Hospitals will close and ERs will serve as desperate last measures. This is the true #MAHA agenda.
My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked: 50th in classroom funding 49th in starting teacher pay 7th highest in gun deaths 6th highest in maternal mortality Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.
Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!
Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.
Day 70. 🇺🇸
How much deeper into physical and mental decline must Trump descend before elected Republicans grasp they have a duty to their country?
Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.
Rotten seed. Sigh.
So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Senator Van Hollen is the complete opposite of this administration—he genuinely cares about human rights, does the right thing, and leads with a moral compass.

Well, when you torch your friendships, abandon every belief you ever claimed to have, and pledge allegiance to a vapid, grifting felon with a bad spray tan, things tend to go downhill fast.
This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
Let's go!

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.
Hey Chuck! Read the room. I don’t know a single Dem who has confidence in your leadership. It’s time for you to step aside. You can still voice these astute observations from the sidelines.
The damage that people do. What a disgrace.
And there it is: China responds with equal tariffs, market slump accelerates www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...?
Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.

An absolutely extraordinary call to action! #coreybooker
Step aside Chuck. Let real leaders like Booker take over.

"Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today. With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor."
How many more of our allies hate the US today because of this douchebag?
Yup. Thiel's Bitch.
He's a primo douche.
If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.
She’s clearly out of touch with the situation and playing a role in a colonial power grab.
I think for every person deported, Kristi Noem gets another shot of filler.
AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word

Let’s give the Nazi-salute throwing, German far-right party supporting, social-security destroying, psychopathic racist narcissist access to all our top secret national security documents. What could possibly go wrong.
Pam Bondi saying the days of criminals facing no consequences are over whilst working for a 34 time felon who faced no consequences is a bit on the nose.

I can't believe PA voted for you. You're a Manchin...certainly not a Democrat.
In Jungian psychology this is the archetype Puer-- used to describe an adult man whose emotional life has remained at an adolescent level, usually coupled with too great a dependence on the mother.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald, what, you had to bring a guy from the Russian state media in to watch you try and beat up Zelenskyy—and you thought that would make you look good? It made you look like the crook you are. Zelenskyy is a man that you will never be; he’s a genuine hero.
Accurate
Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
