Another stupid move to appease MAGA? Par for the course.

An obvious confession that the Ukraine strikes are having an effect on Russia’s oil business. Keep it up!
The Trump family’s historic, obscene corruption continues. The right wing freaked out over Hunter for allegedly making a fraction of this, meanwhile the Trumps are doing this all out in the open and they are silent. 🦗 🦗 www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
Well played. Well played. 👏
1. Monday was a landmark day in one of the most brazen political and economic grifts in history. It netted Trump, at least on paper, $3.4 BILLION. Follow this thread for details. 🧵
EPA Fires ‘Dissent’ Statement Signers The EPA fired agency employees who signed a June declaration decrying moves that contradict science and undermine public health www.scientificamerican.com/article/epa-... as Labor Day weekend started.
Melania throwing Donald's shit out the window?
Trump's lying has cost us yet another ally.
“Travel to 🇺🇸 down… Trump’s tariffs, immigration crackdown etc. alienated travelers… 🇺🇸 the only country among 184 studied where foreign visitor spending would fall in 2025...” The Trump effect. World Cup & Olympics are disasters waiting to happen. apnews.com/article/inte...
THe most likely of all the predictions.
Imagine sending your kid, alone, to a foreign country. You may as well shoot them.
India does not buy a lot from the US? I wonder why that could be. Oh, maybe their consumers are very poor compared to the US? The average annual income in India for 2025 is around ₹358,000 (approximately $4,186 USD)
Idiocracy is here

KOH: “Trump Stripped 1 million workers’ bargaining rights while plastering his face on the Labor Dept… Closed miner health clinics… Cut $2.4 Billion from youth & senior job programs… This is the real story of Trump & Labor.” #LaborDay
more evidence that Trump is a foreign policy idiot.
With his reasoning, there should be no limits on weapons possession. We should all own a tank and some nukes. Because these inanimate objects are never the problem.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
Well , THAT should be interesting. I am holding my nose but rooting for Massie here.
She must have 3rd degree burns on her legs by now.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
He needs to supplement his meager residuals
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
How are her pants not on fire?
Or just plain stupidity.
So proud of Congress members like this one. 🙄
Interesting backstory that I never knew (Ron Howard's brother!). He was seven when he did Star Trek.

Make all Americans equal under law. End agents' impunity. Abolish qualified immunity. Require agents pay for liability insurance.
If you don’t know about Heather Honey, you should. She’s a national embarrassment, virulent election denier and now in charge of election policies for the US government. www.propublica.org/article/heat...
Patrick Henry expressed concern that the President “may easily become king,” James Madison replied that this would not occur because “[t]he purse is in the hands of the representatives of the people.” Full Henry quote on "you Senate" below: teachingamericanhistory.org/document/pat...

Bonfire of expertise: Trump drives scientists, spies and soldiers out of government
“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.” This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
This is tragic news. Thank you for sharing.

Last January, a source shared evidence with me that DOGE was installing devices on govt servers to upload data to the cloud. Some hosts were FOREIGN. On Friday, a whistleblower resigned and came forward to share the same. Listen to what we found in January: www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...
Maybe Emil Bove will review this on appeal …
Take out their infrastructure. They care noting about troops and civilians
OK Charlie. "hey Johnny, Jesus does not stop bullets. Even in a church." There, I did it.

well done
Wrote about Comer/Mace attempting to doxx and intimidate Wikipedia editors in an effort to force their own viewpoint onto Wikipedia.
Is that a duck in the middle of that photo?
Stop teasing me ...
Don't threaten me with a good time
I usually don't say this, but the discovery in THIS case should be very interesting.
I hope Wiki uses my donation money to tell Comer and Mace to fuck right off.
Among the people killed in the russian attack on Kyiv on August 28th were: 🕯Anhelina, 2, and her 24-year-old mother Nadiia 🕯Maryna Hryshko, 17, a student 🕯Yana Shapoval, mother of a 10-year-old boy 🕯Nazarii Koval, 14, a school student
I hope you can see well enough to dial for GrubHub
Crown jewel made of paste. Not even CZ.
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.
So … rather than address the guns, we are going to fund warning systems so we can know when the attacks come. Brilliant.
Plus, you have 1.4 million followers, so higher visibility than anyone else above or below you on that list.
Don’t look away
In any other era, Congress would have opened an investigation into this. The corruption that we are witnessing is staggering. This is Ben Ali’s level of corruption and abuse of power.
There is no possible legitimate reason to do this. It’s what despots do. It’s petty. It’s dangerous. It’s unAmerican. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
russia targets civilians. Ukraine doesn’t
and an overtly racist comment to boot. There is no other reason to note the officer was black.
wildly popular amongst the MAGAts who live nowhere near DC
Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.
the founders envisioned a madman potentially becoming president what the founders did not envision was the majority of Congress and the Supreme Court becoming part of a cult of personality around said president. it’s both pathetic and horrifying
it's a real mystery ...
Deflect, deflect, deflect.
Although well said, the judge was not all that warm to the pretext argument.
For all those years we had to look at her through that soft focus lens, this is payback.
AP: “Israel declared Gaza’s largest city a dangerous combat zone and recovered the remains of two hostages as the army launched the “initial stages” of a planned offensive… death toll in Gaza has risen to 63,025…” apnews.com/article/mide...
We are supposed to litigate in social media now? Absurd
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...
In a two week period: Trump fired 7 of the 8 members who do independent federal oversight on nuclear waste. Peter Thiel (Palantir) is found to be backing the first privately developed uranium enrichment facility in the US.
Yep. Looking over the pile of guns right in front of them to see if they can spot anything out in the distance to blame for these gun-related problems.

Yeah, a politician who needs to juice the economy to get reelected is the perfect person to control monetary policy. What could go wrong?
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
did you get a side of rice to go with that?
"Yes, I would like some extra carbs with my carbs, please."
Trump, and his MAGA psychopaths .....
Seriously. The guy is a complete nutjob.
Stupidity reigns supreme in this adminstration. But when you hired completely unqualified sycophants to fill your administration, it is inevitable.
Looking for anything except what is staaring them in the face.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
No one is attacking private prayer. The problem is treating it as a substitute for action while in office, leaving solutions to divine intervention instead of doing your job. Kids being shot in a church isn’t God "working in mysterious ways" — it’s a failure of policy.
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Sen. Jon Ossoff on the CDC: "[P]utting a quack like Bobby Kennedy in charge of public health was a grave error. The Trump Administration has been engaged for months in a campaign to destroy the CDC." "The Administration's extremism and incompetence are putting lives at risk."
All they can do is deflect by criticizing those who point out the obvious: that the GOP is committed to doing NOTHING about the problem. "thoughts and prayers" = NOTHING.
So .... he cannot be fired because there is no one to take a vote? Or did Trump leave some sycophants in place there?
It's the only deflection they have, to criticize those who point out the obvious.
Sorry hon, thoughts and prayers obviously don't work against gun violence. And the GOP deflection of the issue by complaining about Jen Psaki's comments is far more insenstive than anything Psaki said.
“Federal law enforcement asked the crews to line up to check their IDs, according to the firefighters. One of the firefighters said members of the crew were told not to take video of the incident.” DHS did this as flames actively raged. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
This is not a joke. He is a fucking lunatic. He has no business being in charge of public health.
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...
I don't say this lightly, but I sincerely hope Miller sees a jail cell after Trump's term.

Funny, but not too far off ...
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
1/Our client was notified tonight by White House staff in the personnel office that she was fired. As a presidential appointee, senate confirmed officer, only the president himself can fire her.
