Good grief. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-r...
This is a painful read. I mean seriously painful. But it’s also a must-read, and must-share, for everyone.
I thought above-ankle amputation is in order.
😂😆🤣. omg!!!!
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.
Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs. Remember when Trump said he would bring down the cost of groceries? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
While the U.S. spent a half a billion dollars painting a fence black on their side, Mexico invited artists to paint their side to express their artistic talent. 💗 The contrast between the two countries highlights each country’s priorities.

Fatality.
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
Donald Trump has invented a new kind of fascism, all the nasty, authoritarianism of the old fascism, but this time the trains *don't* run on time.
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."

Most presidents aim to build a legacy that history will deem important. Some broker treaties or fund infrastructure projects. Trump cares less about his LEGACY than his LEGEND. If he cannot be immortal, he at least wants to sow the seeds that he was some kind of Demi-god. Forever the salesman.

THANK YOU! I agree 💯! Was just having that convo. No one can rule Maga and has decades of followers, taught by Roy Cohn. This poser doesn't nearly have the skills or fans.
Everyone parrots the line, “They’ll just replace Trump with another figurehead.” Bullsh*t. Later today in my latest JHN Newsletter I’ll break down why Trump is the one irreplaceable piece of this machine. When he’s gone...the whole thing starts to crack.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.

His voice sounds like a kazoo being deep-throated in a truck stop bathroom, his brain fires like a malfunctioning pinball machine stuffed with dead rats, and his charisma hovers somewhere between “hangnail” and “used condom on a playground slide.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Sometimes the autocrat himself ends up hanging from a building, upside down or not.
Stephen Miller looks like the villain in a movie about tax audits.
average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
JD won't have to command the cult. He will simply be a placeholder. This number was at 70 two months ago. Give it another year...
Calls for RFK Jr to resign grow as his anti-science insanity increases: 'This is wacky, flat-earth, voodoo stuff' open.substack.com/pub/unpresid...
What an amazing man and an awesome offer. #USDemocracy
Jigsaw seems pleased the military is honoring an insurrectionist.
The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.

RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
How the civilized world now perceives us:
Well that wasn’t on my bingo card. I do however have, “ICE detains theatre nurses and anaesthetist mid-operation”. Can’t be far away now.
They were shot from outside.
Great recruiting video. Join today to rake leaves & have a white guy in a suit order you around.

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Are they f***ing kidding: the immigrant-hunters go into a fire zone and arrest people actually fighting fires? This is sheer insanity. www.cnn.com/2025/08/28/u...
Hello, everyone. Today, thanks to @sbg1.bsky.social and @newyorker.com, I learned a new word. The word is: "butt-snorkeler."
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Ashli Babbitt’s parents will receive $5 million dollars, and Ashli will be given full military honors. #TrumpsTraitors 🤯
RFK jr, a man with a laundry list of behavioral problems is running the HHS (including the CDC, NIH, FDA, CMS). If he wants to personally have cult-beliefs, that's on him – but we must not allow him to project his own pathological beliefs onto 345 million people of this country. This is not science.
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
Oh wow he’s really not doing well, is he? I thought you were all doing some wishful thinking.

That’s always been the plan ~ for Vance to be president. Vance can’t stand Yam Tits and is Theil’s protégé.
Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Bolsanaro, Hitler, Stalin, et al are/ were all into making grossly obscene corruption/destruction the path of life, & IMPOSING it on you. DECIDE if you want to be part of it, or to work at the very demanding job of establishing justice, compassion, peace, joy in each other.
The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.
"These are dark days for American lovers of liberty, so any glimmers of light are especially welcome." Mona Charen gives us a few examples of those glimmers of light...
THE CRUELTY… ICE snatched a high school student while he was walking his dog. Agents tied his dog to a tree and, and for extra fuckery, unclipped the collar—letting him run loose on a busy street. According to family, agents joked during his arrest, laughing about the $2,500 they just secured.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.
Putting extreme ideologues in charge of our safety has consequences. The result is leaders who treat your safety as a secondary concern. Advancing their worldview comes first. That’s what we’re seeing at the CDC & it’s going to decimate our ability to fight disease.

Fascism means in the end you don't share power, not even with your own people. It is, in the end, a 1 person party, and if you think you are part of it, "you are", but in reality, you are the cake to that party.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
