Whether or not these people are actual foreign agents is almost irrelevant. Their actions are observationally equivalent to & indistinguishable from the actions actual foreign agents would be taking. The consequences of our total Article I constitutional crisis, right here:
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
“Blind obedience to authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” — Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
LEGO Tariffs are clearly targeting liberals because republicans don’t know how to put LEGOs together. MAGA kids have to make mud pies until they hit their early teens and are able to marry their uncles and aunts.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
The transformation of the Washington Post editorial page appears to be complete.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
"Revision of US capitalism" is a euphemism for the ages
That's why they are going to paint the air black too! Then people won't be able to tell when it ends

The FBI serves Trump and Trump serves the FBI. It's a mutually beneficial relationship and it's not new. An article for those still suffering the illusion that Merrick Garland's DOJ was enacting the world's shittiest version of "Pancho and Lefty": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks. That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years. Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees. And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?
Two of the single greatest advances of our lifetimes are mRNA technology and renewable energy tech and somehow the United States is now virulently against both.
NEW: After DOGE outed Mohammad Halimi on social media, Taliban intelligence agents blindfolded and took three of his family members to a remote prison. They were repeatedly beaten and questioned about Halimi and his recently publicized work for the United States.

Trump taking a 10% stake in Intel for the government is yet another reminder that Dems, when in power, should stop being afraid of their own shadows and do whatever the f*ck they want and not worry about political norms or rules or conventions or media name calling.

Can you imagine a US envoy handing a Nazi medal to the family of an American who died fighting for Hitler? Because this just happened: www.cnn.com/2025/08/20/p...
To be fair i also hate some courts (scotus), and most corporate / billionaire/bald owned media.
Democrats won't retaliate by prosecuting the ~100% of elected and appointed Republicans guilty of some technical offence or other, because the Democratic party is led by weaklings, cowards, and fools lol
🗞️ I spent decades in newsrooms, finishing up as Managing Editor of Stars & Stripes. I am telling you our legacy media is not a part of the problem in America. It IS the problem in America. 🗞️ By platforming the most notorious liar on earth, instead of reporting the truth, they have put us in danger.
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.
This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”
A guess about a point Putin and Trump agreed on: that Putin won’t release the files about Russia’s campaigns to support Trump in 2016 and 2020 so long as Trump continues to aid Russia’s war.
These dipshits left schedules and protocol details on a printer in Alaska. Nothing earthshaking - menu for a lunch that didn't happen, seating chart for the bilat, revelation that Trump gave Putin a present - but it's yet another embarrassing opsec fail for a guy who ran on protecting secret info.
Is ADD why he never learned how to read?
That would be a newly created position then i suppose?

What baffles me is that neither Mayor Muriel Bowser nor AG Brian Schwalb have filed any action to stop TACO from his illegal take over of DC. There is NO emergency warranting the exercise of that power and we all know it. Make him defend this shit in court.
Also conservative "Ph.Ds" love to write PhD next to their name. I rarely if ever see actual PhDs from a non-mickey mouse school do this, eg Paul Krugman, PhD? His school must 3rd rate... he must have suffered ongoing inferiority complexes and we're again going to collectively have to pay for it
This is Heritage Foundation Chief Economist EJ Antoni, Trump's new nominee for Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner. And THAT is his Nazi battleship wall art/Zoom background.
Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. Even. On. The. Op-ed. Page. The total collapse of a once-proud publication that no longer has any baseline standards of "journalism"
Grossly irresponsible of the Times to have this ludicrous credulous spin as the top story the morning after a president who rules by fiat proclaims a totally specious emergency to militarize the capital - an editorial insult to our intelligence and our democracy.

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
PRO TIP: I think in the US you can say "the right". There really is no difference with "the far right" anymore.

The audio will be released just as soon as two things are removed: 1. All references to Donald Trump; and 2. Todd Blanche telling Ghislaine Maxwell that if she agrees to publicly exonerate Donald Trump, he will give her a pardon when he leaves office and in the meantime move her to a nicer jail.
Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway. She will be providing the new alternative job numbers.

Damn the people still supporting a pedophile because he’s racist.
“There is no precedent for politicians so aggressively raising money for their own entities when they do not have a campaign to use it for.” Keep going, NYT. You’re almost there…
📌Not enough shame is placed on these so-called parents who support a grotesque lowlife like Trump, but allegedly teach their kids not to lie, act like poor sports, assault girls, deal in bigotry, or bully people. They, like him, are complete phonies, and ghastly role models.
In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life. Wait, sorry, no. That's Alabama.
On October 11, 2022, I wrote that every article about Merrick Garland follows a precise propaganda template. On March 22, 2024, the New York Times published this:
In case you're STILL confused about mafia enabler Merrick Garland, please read this article. I wrote it in 2023. It is not a response to current events. It explains why the these events would happen unless good people intervened -- which they did not. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...
Be VERY wary of Biden and DOJ cheerleaders who are pretending to *just now* figure out the information in the article below. Many of them harassed or threatened me for years for telling the truth and for writing this piece. They are complicit in their own way.
The most corrupt White House in history. Here is an account of what people are paying, directly to a PAC called MAGA Inc, in order to meet the president, get pardons, change policy www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...
As long as that "leader" doesn’t name people like Garland in positions of power
A guy whose fraudulent university was shut down is telling the Ivy League what to do. A guy whose businesses went bankrupt multiple times is telling the Fed what to do. A guy whose best friend was a child sex trafficker is telling the DOJ what to do. That it’s all the same guy is pretty wild.
Merrick Garland, FUCK YOU!! This is all your fault! You REFUSED TO INDICT A PRESIDENT FOR CAUSING A GOD DAMN INSURRECTION!! So… again FUCK YOU!! Sorry for the language but… there is nothing else to say!
The Trump administration arrested immigrants-who had no criminal records-and sent them to a gulag where they were tortured and sexually abused Yet just transferred Ghislaine Maxwell-serving a 20 year sentence for having trafficked hundreds of women with Jeffrey Epstein-to a cushy "Club Fed" prison
Not nice for dog poo, obviously
In many, many ways, the US is so far gone from reality, decency, dignity, reason... i don't think regular pundits (boiled frogs?) realise how far gone their country / society is

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...
