Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."
Looking forward to the sanctity of human life crowd weighing in on the president of the United States posting a snuff film.
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.
THE UNITED STATES WILL DECLARE WAR ON NORWAY IF THIS ABOMINATION OCCURS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
This shit is getting wild.. 😂🤣 #SheShed
Had a good run, though. 🤡
The networks love putting this man on TV on long interrupted stretches where he can lie directly to the public.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Rep Emmer you can go 🖕yourself. Blaming Gov Walz for the shooting is horseshit. Every single school/mass shooting is the fault of the GOP. #ProudBlue #Pinks #OneV1
those ankles!!!
Full-year 2024 (as of February 2025): Revenue: $3.6 million, a decrease of 12% from the prior year. Net loss: $400.9 million, a significant increase from previous years, and blamed in part on a revenue-sharing agreement with an ad partner. please who invests in this?
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
In olden times, you’d sound out constituents, gauge support for a bill, then vote. Now, it’s the opposite. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
..we need someone to start Drafting Democratic Project 2026...and 2028...Professor Heath outlined it.. They must articulate a case for a strong federal bureaucracy that can effectively address major issues like climate change, pandemics, and economic policy.
Such a surprise

I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…

But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls aren’t going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense won’t stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.
Hello, everyone. Today, thanks to @sbg1.bsky.social and @newyorker.com, I learned a new word. The word is: "butt-snorkeler."
CDC staff gather to honor ‘the people who protect America’ after leaders who resigned were escorted out of agency. Amid abrupt changes that have left the CDC leaderless, agency staff had been planning a show of respect called a “clap out” Thursday afternoon for the officials who resigned.
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
The New Yorker…
Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets

Wow!! Incredible news!! 👏👏
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
Amazing that even Trump's concentration camps meet the same fate as his Atlantic City casinos.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
Another Mass Shooting..what countries are the safest and why? All the things we do not foster today!.
C’mon brain worm, your time to shine!
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

Well it's a wrap for now He's not TOAST TODAY
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A MASTERMIND OF TRADE. WE ARE NOW PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR OUR BASIC NEEDS. YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE TO LOWER PRICES ON DAY ONE BUT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILE, SIR!!
What an unbelievably stupid time to be alive.
So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap

This is painful to watch. Felon Trump has the National Guard picking up trash in D.C. Because there isn’t enough crime to keep them busy?
Stalin could only have dreamed of having such toadies.
This is your Democratic campaign message for 2026
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
He ran as the anti-war candidate, and now he’s the Department of War president.
Everyone has been saying the bruise on Trump's hand is bad but I didn't know it was this bad. You can run but you can't hide from Jeffrey, Donald! Oh and today would be a great day to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Trump on deploying the National Guard to Chicago: "I have the right to do anything I want to do. I'm the president of the United States."
The irony is rich — Trump wants DOJ to sue California over redistricting while he celebrates Texas gerrymandering maps he personally pushed for. And now other red states are lining up to do the same.
No amount of appearing reasonable and trying to avoid provoking them will stop them from escalating against you. The only thing you'll do is inspire revulsion in everyone else: if you won't even stand up for yourself how can you stand up for anyone else
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
🚨| CNN is reporting the engagement of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce. BREAKING NEWS: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announce engagement
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
In the week since relaunching neighborhood canvasses, our volunteers have knocked more than 91k doors across the five boroughs — including 25k this weekend. That's in addition to the 4,000 people who turned out for the #ZcavengerHunt.
California voters are leaning YES on the redistricting ballot. 48% in favor, only 32% opposed. People get it. The narrative is on our side. Remember: CA puts it to the voters. Texas skipped the people. Ours is a one-time fightback that returns to the commission. Texas’ gerrymandering is permanent.
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
Do not come, Donald Trump. You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.
I’m betting the beans this happens with sandwich guy, too.
We now have an economy subject to the whims and desires of one person, unaccountable to anyone else. Call it what it is: a dictatorship.
A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.
The Supreme Corpse
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 25 AUGUST 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES TODAY HE SAYS "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a DICTATOR" In Washington DC 3-story banners of Dear Leader adorn the Dept. of Agriculture & Dept. of Labor Just like you'd see in North Korea or China LET IT SINK IN
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."
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
So, apparently, the fish doesn't rot from the head down, it rots from the right hand up.
📌Not one question was asked about this gruesome-looking death hand today. This, after video of repeated leg drags, and bloated ankles. Trump's morbidly obese, 79, and in obvious failing health. It's a big fucking story. Unless those kinds of things were just reserved for Joe Biden ...
💔 Heartbreaking: ICE is snatching workers in Mount Pleasant, D.C. Neighbors shout back: “Get the fuck out of our city!”
We shouldn’t trust a thing that lying sex trafficker says, all so she can get an easier sentence or even a pardon.
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
