Not only that, but it's in Carnegie Hall!
He took my picture once, many years ago, on the street around 57th and Fifth. I was wearing a men's vintage jacket, which was the theme that week. My photo didn't make the paper though. I was delighted regardless.
Massacre.
They're trying to provoke a skirmish and then they're off and running.
Thank you! An incredible story!
Not just our attention - they also feel entitled to our approval.
Real, unfortunately.
How far are you going to let him go, Republicans? You've handed the reins to a literal child. "Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America."
Not going to stop thinking about the comment that Trump is sending Confederate armies to occupy Northern cities. How much more is there to say? That’s not a “distraction.” It’s what the white supremacists who tried to secede have wanted for over a century. It’s not a distraction to them at all.
In the aftermath of Emmett Till's lynching, white supremacists called for federal troops to invade and occupy Chicago. "If the federal government intervenes in the interests of law enforcement anywhere, it should start in Chicago, crime capital extraordinary." h/t @larryglickman.bsky.social
MAGA confuses the Pilgrims with the Founding Fathers with the pioneers and believes they're all one and the same.
Murder.
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
An Aug. 29 policy statement from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency, will from now on bar nonpartisan groups such as the League of Women Voters from offering voter registration services at the end of naturalization ceremonies. /1
It's an honor to earn the endorsement of the Bronx Democratic Party and the elected officials who fight for this borough every day. Families in the Bronx are being crushed by the affordability crisis. As Mayor, I’ll deliver for them and all New Yorkers.
Hi folks. We are down to The Headshot -- the most egregious statute in the federal criminal code, the moral vacuum in which U.S. prosecutors use a nuclear option against those they wish to target who are otherwise able to defend themselves against a criminal probe that is otherwise insubstantial:
Holy crap, NYT let Charles Munger Jr. write an op-ed opposing the California redistricting without disclosing that he's FUNDING the opposition to the California redistricting. I have 4 mailers he paid for in my house right now and that's just the beginning. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o...
"We're liberating Venezuela."
We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
Republicans are truly the biggest hypocrites.
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
It seems to me one of the best arguments to the court is that if this is truly a national emergency, the president’s own party controls Congress but has done nothing to address it with legislation, so how can it possibly be an emergency?
This is horrific. Trump is a monster.
Was he alone? How can he still afford security? Was security with him?
Was he driving? I wonder if he can't afford a driver anymore.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Trump is the new Q.
We're awake over here. It's the GOP that needs to wake up.
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.
His replacement will be Stephen Miller. It always gets worse.
"WHO DID THIS? I WANT TO FIND OUT NOW!"
It also damages Trump personally. You know it wounds him deeply to know that millions are rooting for it. Worldwide. All he cares about is his personal popularity and he can't deny the extent to which he is loathed after this.
Sadly, there are documented cases:
Thanks, Republicans. A network of hospitals and cancer centers dedicated to early phase trials of novel treatments will no longer receive federal funding. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
This is eugenics. They are thinning the herd.
💥 An NFL executive messaged me today, following news that all 32 teams will feature a social justice message of their choice in their end zones at each home game throughout the season. Teams will select from four options: 'End Racism,' 'Stop Hate,' 'Choose Love,' or 'Inspire Change.' Statement:
Gavin Newsom is destroying dictator-wannabe Trump with FACTS.🎯🎯🎯👇
What Gavin Newsom is doing to Trump is fucking brilliant. 😂🤣👇
NEW: Dozens of staff members and leaders at the CDC staged a walkout today in response to the internal shake-up of top federal health officials.
That's their intent.
Every American has to decide what they are going to do now, because your government is out to kill you. Perhaps in January, this might have seemed like hyperbole, but in late August, it sounds like just another Thursday morning in the United States. 9/
They rig. They rule. We object. We lose. That's the cycle. Prop 50 breaks it. It's our last, best chance to use the power we have before they make it impossible for us to ever win again. Fight election rigging! Vote YES on Prop 50. #yeson50
Lifetime of abusing medications, fake medicine, and street drugs has your head looking like a water balloon made out of Jack Link's but keep talking about other people
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Trump wants us to die. That's all there is to it. We are windmills obstructing his big beautiful view.
SCOOP: A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers, raising questions about ethics in the independent media space
This morning: MPD and ATF conducted a massive paramilitary operation, with officers in masks and camo, in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of DC within 500 yards of an elementary school while neighborhood children were heading to school. On their third day of classes.
That has to be it. Don't look for a deeper motive here. It is always revenge.
if i were on this deployment i would be pissed. these people have actual jobs! and here they are, walking around picking upt rash.
note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator
They want a federal national guard at their disposal if the governor won't authorize the state NG.
If you saw the clip, watch the whole 12 minutes. This is it. Electeds—everyone around Pritzker is knowingly putting themselves at risk—meeting the moment. It’s not glib, it’s not a meme, it’s clear-eyed, brave, & necessary. www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...
Not to worry. Many countries survive without shipments from these countries. For instance, North Korea.
Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
Getting Macbeth vibes from Trump’s hand bruising. Like Lady Macbeth can never clean the blood from her hands, Trump’s bruises are black & blue as if it’s the ink from the Epstein files he can never clean off.
Trump’s use of the ‘N-word’ was no secret on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ neither was his fear of Black Excellence, it runs thru his family tree like addiction & mediocrity and homeliness. Link to ‘Noel’s Notes’ open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...
Everyone saw it coming. Enough with the "I told you so"s. When are people with power going to stop raising alarms, and instead do something to stop him?
turns out the thing most of us learned as kids is still true: stand up to bullies and they usually back down — but give them what they want and they’ll *always* be back for more
President Shakedown
He's still using makeup on it, just not the thick stuff from earlier. Not to mention this asshole is wearing diamond cuff links. Truly a mob boss in every respect.
a better look at the bruising on Trump's right hand today, via Getty
Trump is trying to hide the back of his right hand from cameras but here you can see the nasty bruising on it
Do his pupils look normal? He's weirdly animated today.
Jfc shut up for a minute. Why are we all virtual guests at this boorish fool's monologue party every single damn day? If he sat next to you at a coffee shop you would make a swift exit.
They're looking for any excuse to cancel midterms.
Akshually, no you don’t
Straight up threatening people without a care in the world.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
This is the new tacky AF ‘Rose Garden at the White House.
"Donald J. Trump is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life." -- G. Maxwell
Game on.
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement

both of these photos of Trump's hand were taken today (Getty)
I mean, "hands" - yes, of course.
The President of the United States is a gangster shaking down anyone who won’t pay up
"The United States paid nothing for these Shares" is an interesting way of describing "the U.S. released $8.9B in CHIPS funding intended for Intel in exchange for $8.9B in stock." Perhaps Congress could've demanded shares for CHIPS money, but POTUS adding this ad hoc is simply unconstitutional.
ICE, DC Police, Park Police, DHS, and HSI brutally arrested a man who refused to provide identification after being stopped for eating in public. Goons attempted to stop community members from recording his injuries during the incident.
Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.
Epstein has long flaunted that he was deeply protected by the system… the entire system.
"[Maxwell’s] like listening to Ted Bundy talk about his victims. Literally what’s the point," Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni texted me. Let's not forget prosecutors charged Maxwell with perjury & cited her "willingness to lie brazenly under oath about her conduct" in court docs.
How is this even possible? Since when does the government just seize ownership of private corporations when we are not at war or anything?
Ghislaine Maxwell LIED under oath to Trump's lawyer saying she did not recruit anyone from Mar-A-Lago to have sex with Epstein She recruited then 16 year old Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago as we know from sworn testimony in earlier cases. DOJ must charge her with perjury! (Maxwell on left)
She's only one of the most beautiful and talented women in the world. But she doesn't cook. Got it.
From the Gavin Newsom trolling collection

NYT reporters observed these cash handouts in July, and they’re only reporting it now?
They removed the barrel and also the Cracker - and these guys are mad about it?
Bob Clark, VP of marketing for Herr Foods, Inc., said the company was surprised to see it was mentioned in the press. “While we can’t speak to the details of the story,” he said, “we can confirm that our Sour Cream & Onion flavor is money.” www.thecity.nyc/2025/08/21/w...

Trump says “politics is over” if Republicans gerrymander and ban mail voting before the midterms
I hope this assignment becomes permanent for you. The show is greatly improved, and I have not been turning off MSNBC after the Lawrence O'Donnell show, as I normally do These dire times require serious journalists.
