Am I the only person who thinks this is INSANE?
This needs to happen in every single blue state...in every single state, for that matter...every state that actually values human life.
Only Trump can create an economy where the price of vegetables for consumers is up 40 Fš¤¬king percent, but family farms are crashing because they can't get enough money for their produce to break even.
Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.
Why would he need a department of war after he solved all the wars?
Dude that's not even half: Trump, as an undercover asset ginned up sensational curiosity about this classified op in the way only he can, proving to the FBI, and everyone else that he is the GOATEST GOAT. And a heroāand fit. Like, FIT! You know what I mean? Anyway, give him his Nobel prize already.
Holy cow somebody give him the Nobel prize already. Just make one up and give it to him!! The man just oozes ahhhsum. I mean, he oozes something.
22k jobs added in August. June revised to NEGATIVE jobs for the first time since the pandemic. Are we great again yet?
Those of you who have followed for awhile will remember that I was *very* concerned that we were going to go to war with North Korea during Trumpās first term. This is part of why. There were multiple provocations that the public didnāt know about in that time period. 1/2
That famous Trump business touch.
Do the current numbers include the deep state members about to be fired for reporting the latest numbers? Or will that be reported by the next members of the deep state to be fired for reporting next month's numbers?
Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs. RFK JR: Weāre the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat? Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.
Kennedyās vaccine crusade isnāt about health...itās about sowing chaos. Confusion equals control. Repeat until itās tattooed on your brain: It. Is. Part. Of. The. Op. To. Destabilize. The. United. States.
Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."
Iām a guy who believes more children should have measles for no reason, and I canāt tell you how refreshing it is to finally feel represented by my government
Rand Paul: the voice of reason.
Why good morning and Fuck Trump to you too!
Public servants should face the public
Man somebody fire the deep state before these job number reports cause a recession
Q: "DO you think Trump should receive the highest of accolades forā" "A:OH YES ABSOLUTELY 100%" Freakin Pavlovian.
Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a foolā¦
This economic stagnation should worry everyone. 1 and 4 companies has a hiring freeze right now. Hiring managers are anticipating a recession. And instead of doing anything to fix it, Trump fired the person who counts the jobs.
The GOP usually LOVES these OāKeefe hidden cameras. Letās see what they have to say about this one admitting the Epstein coverup.
Nothing will nail down a Nobel like rebranding to the āDepartment of War.ā Also sorta overrides the key military mission of deterrence, which is a piece of our national & defense security strategy.
Spending lots of time in Europe and engaging with the govts & armies of all 49 countries, ALL of them use the titles āMinister of Defense,ā āMinister for Defense,ā or āMinister of National Defense.ā Netherland had the last āMinister of Warā in 1948. So thereās that.
Still adjusting to reading phrases like "counsel from non-governmental agencies" and not knowing what the hell to expect. Are they seeking extra-governmental counsel to justify society-destroying neerdowellsmanship? Or are they going around the government to mitigate society-destroying mendacity?

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk
Jesus don't make me think more highly of Rand Paul.
all that people, schools, and companies have to do is just face off with them in court and say āfuck you, make meā (from the latin for āfuck you, make meā)
Annnd in the end: The love you take is equal to the love You make.... Ha CHA CHA!!
If I could, I would make every lawmaker walk through a cemetery from the 1800s and make them note the ages on the headstones.
Denying the existence of American history IS anti-American
Epstein survivors say theyāre compiling their own client list. āWe know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-ledāfor survivorsā
Nothing matters but Pokemon
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought Iād say this, but Iām with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
Weāve compiled a few essential tips, drawn from the experiences of on-the-ground activists and immigrant rights groups. Guide: lataco.com/documenting-...
Very useful article. I have seen reports that ICE have detained civilians and refused to release them until they wipe their phones of video taken. Here's an app that allows you to upload such videos bsky.app/profile/toow...
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Weāre back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
New: If you bought Trumpās WLFI crypto token directly from the company, your holdings could be up 5ā15x. If you jumped in when it hit the open market, you might be down 25%. Sound familiar? With @siladitya.bsky.social for @forbes.com 1/
The red state im currently sitting in has a higher violent crime rate than Illinois, this is Not About Crime
This is how you do it folks: gov-pritzker-newsroom.prezly.com/gov-pritzker...
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Ask them anyway. Do it. If you have a republican rep: Tell them you will have their backs if they get primaried fighting for the constitution, and you will do everything you can to make sure they *don't* win if they continue to put Trump over party, and party over country. They need to hear it.
Just confirmed it's fake. And I feel pretty dumb for going along with it. Deleting.
The one where a national reporter finds out what Iāve said all along about Dems focusing on Epsteinā voters are not focused on the files. Every group Iāve spoken to is concerned about Medicaid cuts and grocery prices and high rent. I hope Democrats will listen. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
100 percent
More framing like this, please www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Mebbe democratic strategists should heed the governor's words when he asked the press not to make this about the friggen horse race.
Objective truth is by necessity unflattering to the right
Proudly fighting space forest fires
Speaking of history: Anybody remember why the 2nd amendment was written? It wasn't so Joey Proudboy could get a bump-stock with a built-in fleshlight in preparation for a patriotic battle against tyranny. It was to prevent the deployment of a central standing army against the states.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwoodās Handmaidās Tale used to come to power.
look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: āMan from Moscowā Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.
Every resident of Maine showed up for the guy running to unseat Susan Collins
One true test of Trumpās mental fitness is whether heāll be able to take reportersā questions after his announcement in the Oval Office tomorrow. And for how long.

"Call me old-fashioned, but ā¦ shouldnāt we be talking about this a little more? Has America ever seen a serving president and his family making profits like this?" Um, Yes and No, Politico Playbook. If only you knew someone who could talk about this more? www.politico.com/newsletters/...
As someone who is not counting on Democrats in DC to save us in any way, I think we still need to be accurate about what they've been doing to bring the fight to MAGA. And this is a good list of what we may be missing.
Yeah, I did watch it. For starters you didnāt acknowledge that Wall Street Journal wrote an article about how successful Schumer is with blocking Trumpās judicial nominees. 1/
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions ā and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
NEW: This morning, DOJ's Drew Ensign confirmed that the last of 76 children the Trump administration tried to put on planes & send to Guatemala in the middle of the holiday weekend are back in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the result of a well-timed lawsuit & fast-moving judge.
Thread: this is Russ Vought giving himself permission to ignore Congress and the constitution
On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasnāt the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
While billionaires convert the government into their private slush fund, weāre coming together to demand a country that puts workers first. #LaborDay2025
its interesting to compare this to the scant evidence that "BIDEN HAS PARKINSON'S" had behind it
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Make no mistake, everything thatās happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
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
Whatās wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are āstunnedā by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/
You are emPHASizing the the wrong sylAbles, Stephen. EVERY SOUND THAT COMES OUT OF MY MOUTH IS IMPORTANT STEPHEN ALL CAPS ALL CAPS!!!!
Oligarchs, Lobbyists and congressmen
If you know California voters, tell them that if Trump rigs the next election and Republicans keep Congress, they will most certainly not certify the election in 2028 if they don't like the result. No one is saying gerrymandering is good, but unilaterally disarming could be the end of our democracy.
And when congress runs procedural interference against itself to prevent anyone acting as a check against the president, the separation of powers is meaningless
That face, with new age music playing in the background: "Donald Trump has ended all war" šµ "If you heed Donald Trump's words, you will never need medicine again." šµ "There is a special gold membership program in heaven for anyone who reports a voter to the local freedom office" šµ
To be clear: 1. Weāve taken in roughly $150 billion in tariffs - nowhere near a single trillion, much less trillions. 2. Tariffs single-handedly saving our military ā which has been the strongest in the world for decades ā is the dumbest shit Iāve read today.
The only thing I enjoyed about "Iraq: part duh" was watching Baghdad Bob and Donald Rumsfeld compete for most amusingly naked gaslighting
Everyone in the United States is a millionaire. You're welcome
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.
Somebody please ask these ball-garglers to reconcile the enthusiasm with which they would welcome troop deployments in their cities with their stance on the 2nd amendment.
This is an unconstitutional and authoritarian power grab. The constitution grants power over federal elections to the states and Congress - not the president.
It seems to me one of the best arguments to the court is that if this is truly a national emergency, the presidentās own party controls Congress but has done nothing to address it with legislation, so how can it possibly be an emergency?
Just as Democratic governors should pool their resources to bulk purchase vaccines that RFK opposes, they should coordinate their messaging, aggressively holding GOP to account for their new, risky health policies
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.š The force of democracy must be with us!!!š„³
