Yeah, meanwhile, Ukraine is winning the war against the Russian incursion.
Blessing your timeline: Obama getting a huge ovation at Clippers game. This how you welcome a president:
Has Trump ever honored ANYONE who stood up for America? Remember when Trump first took office, entered the White House and said "What a dump"?
Trump's official doctor is an osteopath, not an MD.
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services
Trump can't outrun Epstein nightmare: GOP and Dems demand files after Labor Day A bipartisan congressional duo is planning to force a House vote that would require Trump’s DOJ to release all of its Epstein documents when Congress returns. @arimelber.bsky.social is joined by Joyce Vance.
Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳

Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
SOME States in the USA will be safer than others. I wonder why??? OH, riggghhhht! Public health is a political pawn. The less people vaccinated, the more citizens will die. Cull the herd?
Good.
Trump can order them to march around wherever he wants. When he orders them to shoot they will stand down or face murder charges.
The orange parasite is gearing up to move troops into Chicago, & may use the Navy Base to springboard operations This is NOT about crime, there is NO emergency, troops are meant to protect US citizens, not answer to manufactured propaganda & terrorize the population. The rise of an authoritarian.
Nuns from a convent outside Waco have repeatedly visited the women on Texas’s death row—and even made them affiliates of their order. Lawrence Wright reports on a powerful spiritual alliance.
Excellent question.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
He honestly believes in survival of the fittest UNTIL IT'S HIM. RFK Jr will too be admitted to a hospital someday. May he rot in hell.

🇺🇦🙏 Zelensky visited the site of the destruction in Kyiv, where 22 people died during the latest Russian attack. A total of 23 people died in the explosions in Kyiv, including four children, and more than fifty were injured. The fate of another 8 people remains unknown.
The name’s Newsom. Gavin Newsom.
The Citizen's United SCOTUS vote doomed our democracy. I think that was the plan.
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.

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. What kind of punk ass bitch revokes the Secret Service security detail for Kamala Harris? One that’s petty, small, pathetic, vengeful, and on the Epstein list, that’s who.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders has called for a special Senate committee hearing on the CDC crisis, demanding that RFK Jr. testify under oath about the disaster he’s created.
Fascism. "If this were happening somewhere else – in Latin America, say – how might it be reported? Having secured his grip on the capital, the president is now set to send troops to several rebel-held cities, claiming he is wanted there to restore order..." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The idea behind stopping pandemics is to get ahead of the threat, not believing crackpot theorists openly flaunting science. Intervention of illness far outweighs the positive outcomes of illness vs pretending it's not happening.
JFK Jr is demanding others believe his fantasy. Trump is enabling that rhetoric. The goal is to make America sick, to kill as many Americans as possible with ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. At least the Taliban was honest about their motives and attempts.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?

It's the damned guns in the hands of confused individuals who believe the transgender fantasy. THAT is what the news media is afraid to address.
I agree the guns are promoted by the right, but we on the left are also promoting stress and confusion with the transgender hoax. Several of these mass shooters fell for the transgender hoax that does IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE. High school is hard.
Why not? We have to teach them how to protect themselves, then give them therapy to get over the trauma, but you don't want to hear their firsthand accounts of what they witnessed? Why?
The "transgender" lie is a factor in at least two shootings in the last four years. Why can't we address this cruel, homophobic hoax? NO ONE IS TRANSGENDER! Sorry, but the sex identified at birth is irreversible.
"I'm so overwhelmed by the support. In fact, today, Vice President Kamala Harris called to encourage the work that we're doing." Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier joins @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social as she remains locked in the statehouse chamber after refusing a security escort to leave.
Brian Wilson, co-founder of The Beach Boys and the creative force behind the group's surf sound, orchestral arrangements and perfect harmonies, has died, his family announced. He was 82. cnn.it/4mYQoEu
Well said and DITTO!!
Donnie Dotard, you lie to the press, but history is well documented, laws are clear. POTUS is a liar, a thief, and desperate for a civil war to allow him to remain in power forever. We were unprepared for half the Congress to have sold their integrity for second-best country.
Rep. McIver was conducting oversight. That’s her duty as a Member of Congress. This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation. A political stunt meant to silence anyone who dares to hold power accountable. They may think they can scare us into silence. They’re dead wrong.
W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
Double.
Sorry to hear Brian Wilson has died. The Beach Boys were the soundtrack of my summers, from "Surfin' Safari" on.
Yeah, but if they went after employers they might actually hurt building companies and restaurants that could go out of business, and that would look terrible on the Republican Party. So, fire the current undocumented employees while the employer continues to hire new ones.
Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.
Today we recognize the day that President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law. It’s time to close the gender wage gap once and for all. Women deserve equal pay for equal work, and a union contract is the best way to make that a reality.

Transgender is a cruel, homophobic hoax designed by billionaires invested in future biotechnology. It's inhumane and unethical to conduct experiments on humans, but, if you can convince a few to harm themselves to prove your unethical points, no law prevents sheep from being stupid.
There are ZERO intersex people. Birth defects are dealt with AT BIRTH. The complexities are NEVER a secret from the family. Decisions include multiple medical specialists and decisions are made with the parents, physicians, clergy and the best pediatric specialists in the country.
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
👏👏👏
...and they don't have to pretend to change their sex to meet society's "norms".
It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

Stand united with your immigrant neighbors against fuckface's tyranny. Ask not 'what are the protesters doing,' ask 'why isn't ICE leaving.' #ChingaLaMigra
The Republican Party want to kill as many US citizens as possible via neglect.

What are trans rights and how are they being violated?
Men who call themselves transwomen are men. If you want stats concerning crimes against women by men, look that up yourself. The stats are listed by city, by state, by country. Pick your favorite.
You're a man in a dress attacking women for standing up for their right to privacy.

GOP rehashing the SAME PLAYBOOK every decade. Attack women's rights to divide women and men. ANYONE who wants to destroy a country MUST CONTROL THE WOMEN FIRST. That's half the population, and the men will go along because they don't want to lose their "power". That male privilege is a mirage.

I may have replied in the wrong place. Males don't belong in women's sports or women's bathrooms or women's groups Trump is inciting violence, trying to incite civil war. I don't know which camp you're in, but these are my typical replies to MAGA or any men who demand access to women's space.
This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful. Then Trump brought the chaos. He is responsible.
Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn
Governor Newsom calls President Trump’s takeover of the National Guard an “illegal act” and announces Trump’s order will challenged in court tomorrow: Under his executive order, it notes they have to coordinate with Governor, they never did
@meidastouch.com How and when can we impeach AND REMOVE $hitler from office?
Should be taught everywhere.
We are a nation of laws and the lawmakers are failing us. The GOP cannot survive UNLESS Americans are fighting a war. Because we the people refuse to fight other nations for the good of the war-machine investors, we have an imaginary civil war.
Yes, none of this had to happen, but imaginary crisis is how the right wing has kept the USA in either foreign or domestic wars for decades. How to end it? VOTE DEMOCRAT.
