The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
Part of the free advertising promised to Krasnov as part of the Disney settlement, perhaps...
Looks like ABC News is running propaganda for Trump sending military troops on American city streets They should also have this headline Yet Another school mass shooting and Republicans REFUSE to do anything about gun access laws. Just send thoughts and prayers. Both have what in common? GUNS!
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
Congress is back — and a laundry list of thorny issues threatens to complicate the funding fight.
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Today's my birthday and I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump will send me one of his amazing handcrafted cards with a beautiful Sharpie-drawn woman on it
The moving off the Space Command Headquarters begs the question, what is Trump hiding from the Epstein Files?

So now the mighty DOGE is basically a website maker run by the least important Airbnb founder.
California governor Gavin Newsom co-hosted Pivot with Kara Swisher, where he discussed his Trump-mimicking social media strategy.

Oh stop it, both the media for this idiotic reductive narrative and Dem centrists for being such astonishing wimps. The voters of NYC — especially young ones — made their clear choice, so either move along or go sit down. You win nothing by being cautious and scared www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
In this moment we are seeing the corruption of American values and the manifestation of the worst of humanity.
Exactly like the “people eating pets” lie about that town in Ohio. Lying, misleading and scapegoating is all Republicans do.

First of all good for NYT for doing the kind of journalism we all know they can do. But good lord, we are in a bad place when politicos (and that's what Benny is) can tell obvious, very probable lies, without a second thought because they know 41% of the people dont care enough to check.
The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...
Wow imagine that
Amid all the noise & speculation about Trump’s health — btw would be great to get some real reporting on the subject — let’s not forget the big Google ruling is coming this week on the remedies on whether the tech giant must divest its Chrome browser. Here’s a primer: www.cnet.com/tech/us-want...
Good question, feckless answer
And also, he doesn’t have the power to do that
Seriously, that’s it?
By a 7-4 vote, the full Federal Circuit has *affirmed* a lower-court ruling holding that many of President Trump’s tariffs exceed his statutory authority. The ruling won’t go into effect until October 14, though—which gives the Trump administration plenty of time to seek intervention from #SCOTUS:
For today's "One First," I wrote about Friday's circuit-court rulings in the tariffs and Venezuelan TPS cases, and the procedural reasons why they're likely to be just the first of a slew of cases about the *merits* of Trump policies that #SCOTUS will have to address during the October 2025 Term:
Just posted this week’s #SCOTUS update over at TikTok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8B7jBAk/
#BREAKING: Judge Breyer has held that the Trump admin. *violated* the Posse Comitatus Act in its military deployments in and around Los Angeles, and has enjoined further use of those troops for law enforcement tasks. The order is stayed through 12 PDT on 9/12: georgetown.app.box.com/file/1973361...
Gee. Deporting immigrants will NEVER cause any problems for the housing industry. Nor will slapping tariffs on pretty EVERYTHING needed or used in the building of houses. Who could have EVER seen this happening? 🙄 They're such morons in so many ways. www.politico.com/story/2017/0...
So first they create a crisis by snatching the people who actually do the building and increasing the cost of building (Trump Tariff/Tax) - and then declare an emergency and take tarifs back - and I guess send the national guard to build homes? The stupidity is mind boggling.

My coffee has gone up $2 a pound in the last month!
The whole time they bitched and moaned about eggs for years I was wondering why no one was mentioning beer?! $2+/ea domestic canned beer?! Soft drinks being cheaper than beer has been going on awhile. Now sodas are catching up to that $2+ price point.

Status quo bros really hate it when progressives find community.
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
Trump: I FEEL GREAT NOTHING IS WRONG HERE LOOK A PHOTO OF ME GOLFING FROM A WEEK AGO Giuliani: I WAS HELPING SOMEONE DONT SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT MY CAR WRECK Trump: EPSTEIN IS OVER HE DIED A LONG TIME AGO GET OVER IT Sure, guys.

"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Thank you on this labor day!!
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.

Right decision.

MASSIVE ICE SURGE COMING STARTING TOMORROW
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
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.
Starting today, 2.4M Americans, including kids, lose SNAP food benefits. Stores like Freshly’s Market in Mississippi that serve low-income communities expect a 35–45% drop in sales. Children will go hungry & employees at Freshly's lose jobs. Welcome to trickle-down starvation.

Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
He should be in prison.. at least barred from practicing law for life.. he is the central architect.. if not for him, Epstein would have been jailed (& alive) & 100s if not 1000s of girls would not have been abused.
More of Austin: Labor Day protesters are marching to the Capitol!
Cancelling brain cancer trials for kids…Why? So Betsy DeVos can get a new yacht. Mark Z-borg can purchase more mansions to tear down for bigger estates. Anal Musky can snatch up other companies and say they were his idea. And on and on. No breaks for the ave Jane & Joe #workersOverBillionaires
