A federal judge has rejected Saudi Arabia’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit by the families of Sept. 11 victims, allowing a long-running case that has unearthed new evidence and rankled U.S.-Saudi relations to proceed.
"Politically engineered chaos is destabilizing the top of America's vital public health institutions," writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis https://cnn.it/4oVOkhv
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
This is insanity. This is the sign of a government that has lost its mind.
Lawyers call out organization over “weaponizing public health for political gain.”
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
man remember when our biggest concern was whether we should get the flu shot in the same arm as the covid shot or should we alternate arms i miss those days tbh
This is that bill. There isn't an elected Democrat in office today who seems to be treating our current reality like the crisis it is. It's just business as usual.
Watching Elizabeth Warren talk about Trump’s fascism as a distraction last night really broke something in me. Where I used to have this anger at the Democrats for folding to Trump I find myself numb. I don’t know if it’s going to last, but I don’t feel anything about their inaction anymore.
⚡️ Update: 8 killed, 38 injured in Russian mass attack on Kyiv. A large-scale Russian aerial strike against Kyiv on Aug. 28 killed at least eight people, including a child, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Me: "Anera is wrong? Christian Aid is wrong? The Danish Refugee Council is wrong? The Norwegian Refugee Council is wrong? Doctors Without Borders is wrong? Save the Children is wrong? Oxfam is wrong? 100 aid groups are all wrong? Do you realize how silly you sound?"

🚨 The CDC as we know it is being severely altered tonight. In addition to the CDC director being ousted, the Post is reporting that several senior leaders are leaving as well. Here are from two of the resignations:
He's a smart man! Nothing good can come of him meeting Cheeto Satan
A former CDC staffer adds: “This is the work of a death cult.”
Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus" 1) doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here 2) doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead and 3) is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
RFK Jr is monster
It won’t fit in screen shots but linking here the full letter of resignation posted by one of the departing CDC officials, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who ran the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and led efforts to fight COVID, monkeypox, and bird flu x.com/dr_demetre/s...
MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle joins the Daily Beast Podcast to unpack the president’s fixation with the Federal Reserve’s board of governors.
As if you needed another reason to be angry at RFK Jr. today: There are signals he wants to blow up the "liability shield" that has kept the U.S. vaccine industry strong for the last forty years (and has sped payments to harmed patients). Hugely dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/hhs-kenned...

The White House said late Wednesday that it had fired Susan Monarez, the new CDC director, after a tense confrontation in which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to remove her from her position and she refused to resign.
This country is beyond redemption.

They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.
There’s a war on black women because we keep trying to do crazy stuff like stay employed.
Donald Trump dramatically escalated his fight for control over the Federal Reserve by moving to oust its first Black woman governor. She responded by refusing to leave: Here is your Evening Briefing.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
Virginia Giuffre was one of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's most outspoken accusers. Six months after her death, Giuffre's book detailing her life will be published.
Patriotism through prosecution: Nothing says "land of the free" like jailing dissenters who wield matches better than arguments. Free speech, is among the most fundamental American values of all. The right of Americans to speak their minds is enshrined in the First Amendment;
If the supposed “leader of the free world” is limping around like a Bluey piñata after the eighth kid, hiding bruises under pancake makeup, and concealing swollen cankles behind emoluments violations, then we have a right to know what the hell is going on. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
Trump is afforded certain presidential powers that he could use to deploy the National Guard and federal law enforcement agencies in US cities to crack down on crime — though such a move would be unprecedented and, some experts and local leaders argue, illegal. https://cnn.it/3JrIkwR
Welcome to Fort Bliss—A $1.2 Billion Dystopian Human Suffering Factory—Funded By You. You read that right. Everything is bigger in Texas. $1.26 billion taxpayers money funneled to private pockets. No due process. Tent concentration camp in a desert. belib.org/XnFUOhd
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has chosen a vaccine critic to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID-19 vaccine advisory committee.
I don’t know if this qualifies as spilling the 🫖 But release the damn Epstein files already.
I always thought attending a Christian church was supposed to be about Jesus. Turns out it’s about Cracker Barrel.
New customs regulations take effect August 29, and many European postal agencies and companies say until new systems are set up they can't ship some goods. Gifts worth less than $100 are not affected.
⚡️ Almost 150 Ukrainian miners trapped underground after Russian attack in Donetsk Oblast. Russian attacks cut power to mines in the Dobropillia community in Donetsk Oblast, trapping 148 miners underground, trade union leader Mykhailo Volynets said on Aug. 26.
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
Voters at a town hall meeting in Missouri demanded that their Republican congressman denounce President Donald Trump’s “lies”—and told him to get his head “out of Trump’s a--.”
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?
It wasn’t just the aggressiveness of the pushback that made it effective; it was also the immediacy. There was no time for focus groups, no time for consultants to diminish or second-guess the messaging the way they did with Governor Tim Walz’s viral “weird … www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
This crisis turned Newsom and his office into de facto internet trolls: Instead of ignoring misinformation or taking the ever diminishing high road, Newsom’s office did everything—TV interviews, social media, podcasts. The pushback was hard and fast and relentless www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
In solidarity with Kevin Sorbo and Scott Baio stating they are refusing any acting jobs in California, I hereby refuse to play defense for the Colorado Avalanche in the upcoming season! I will also not be pitching for the Rockies this year... HOLD THE LINE, BOYS!👍
Trump says he’s going to allow 600,000 students from China to come to the US because he has a great relationship with President Xi and it’s very important to allow them to study here. Which is the opposite of what they’ve been saying for months.
My crush on Tim Walz hasn’t ended.

I'm genuinely glad for Canada and this is a smart business play by Moderna but it also stings when you consider the Moderna vaccine exists because of $10 billion dollars of US taxpayer money. And RFK Jr. might kill our access.
A long road remains for any peace deal in Ukraine. But in Germany, political leaders are already debating a crucial detail for any final agreement — whether the German Army will send troops to help keep the peace.
Utterly depraved.

President Donald Trump is willing to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he told his South Korean counterpart during a meeting where they discussed peace in the Korean Peninsula and Pyongyang's nuclear weapon capabilities. https://cnn.it/3JzGrhu
Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook disputes Trump’s authority and says she will not resign.
been offline for an hour or so to reflect on everything and decided that as long as the federal reserve remains independent and we keep getting commercial packages from japan that everything is going to be ok
Burn the flag we have every right
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
Everybody enabling this shit, every rank and file ICE bozo, needs to understand the possibility that their side will not, in fact, be in power in perpetuity and that some day they're going to have to answer for their actions.
what if JD is the only other person in the room when it happens lol
For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.

KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.
"Whatever one thinks of Bolton’s politics and policy ideas, he is a man—and a public servant—of integrity. The FBI raid on Bolton’s house and office is in all likelihood not about national security but a step designed to punish a prominent Trump critic."

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
THIS is the way 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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."

If the US government had to pay for medical care of its citizens, it might care more about climate change impacts, air and water pollution, gun violence, traffic crashes, the food we eat, etc. It’s past time for single payer healthcare.
