Had Tim Walz as a teacher in high school. He really is a great guy. Politics, Sports, Anime, Video Games.

Some insiders have theorized that the White House installed Fugate to oversee a pivot away from traditional counterterrorism and to steer resources toward MAGA-friendly sheriffs and border security projects before eventually shuttering operations. (Published June)
If a single statement from a federal judge can encapsulate why the U.S. government should lose any presumption of regularity, it's this one
Gonna keep reposting this @timdickinson.bsky.social / me item: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Two things can be true at once: The GOP and their propagandists, with few exceptions, poisoned the well against damn near ANY form of mitigation. Dem controlled areas implemented some insane policies such as masking toddlers that radicalized some people.
Instead of trying out Fedko or Mccusker we get more of Keirsey? Also, are the Twins actually trying out Noah Davis for next year or is he just filler for right now? Don't know why he's back up with the club.
This should be a bigger story. A government official had the YouTube channel of a private citizen shut down bc he didn’t like what that citizen was saying. This administration’s version of free speech is a joke.
Fuck all these DOGE dipshits to hell. They better all be fired from government whenever the next Dem administration comes in.
A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
This rule would have meant I couldn't do my Ph.D. in America. I did do it in America. Became a professor. 12 thriving U.S. labs are now headed by trainees from my research lab. Like me, they are all working hard to enrich American knowledge and society. With this self-harming rule, none of that.
I think Walz was too nervous to go for the throat during the VP debate, but I would have liked to see him be more explicit in calling out JD for the fraud that he is. The biggest phony in politics today.
You don't go from calling Trump America's Hitler to becoming his VP without being a giant fraud.
Don't invoke Truck-kun Dave!

The type of comments you see from dictators worldwide.
They murdered people that worked for you, justify it on a fucking CAMERA, and you swallow their BS hook line and sinker in your headline. Disgraceful.
His response should be " I speak for dozens of women when I say 'no means no Donald'."
The account that made this viral post uses a AI-generated stock photo as their profile picture, and the main claim that Big Balls "was harassing and trying to pick up the 15-year-old girl" is not in the article. We are not immune from disinformation.
The contrast between how the MSM goes after a foreign official they know is full of crap versus a domestic official they know is full of crap is striking. They're so desperate for access that they hold back when they should be leaning in to debunking the BS for their viewers.
Just constant threats of extortion or already executed extortion schemes from the President of the United States. And somehow our useless MSM treats this as normal.
Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

"Jackson’s dissent is not a mere disagreement with a colleague’s judgment. She is demonstrating that what her colleagues are doing isn’t even judging; laws have little to no bearing on the outcome of their decisions, which are determined instead by Republican policy goals." 🎯
reflecting on this piece today as Trump takes FBI weaponization to a new level
Congratulations, John Roberts. You did this.
Aka extortion. Will the MSM ever admit as much?
This is getting very bad: *FBI raids top Trump critic's home *Trump loyalist gins up "mortgage fraud" pretexts for DOJ probes of Schiff, Letitia James, Lisa Cook *Bannon says ICE will monitor 2026 voting *DHS memo vows LA operations "for years to come" New from me: newrepublic.com/article/1994...

NEW: The president, who has framed mental health as a national crisis, paused rules to hold insurers accountable for unlawfully denying coverage. And Congress cut funding to the agency that enforces insurers’ equal treatment of mental and physical health.
We need more of this! Everytime they show up PEACEFULLY point out their similarities to the Gestapo, the Stasi, and other secret police forces and share it on social media. That way normies that don't pay attention to politics make the connection.
The former head of Israel's military intelligence just praised the deaths of innocents as "necessary...as a message for future generations." If we do nothing, we will have to tell our children that we stood idly by as millions of people were sent to their graves. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
I hope this guy is disbarred and blacklisted from ever working as a lawyer again. Just constant disgustingly unethical conduct, intimidation, and threats of investigations/prosecution. Better suited to be a legal flunkie in some 3rd world dictatorship than in the DOJ.
Good answer. Wish more Dems said this rather than just critisize him over what they disagree on.
Judge Katsas, useful idiot, this morning on left. AG Bondi this afternoon on right.
/2 The Trump Administration operation to re-arrest a paralegal in his West End apartment after his lawyer offered to surrender him involved perhaps a few less than that, but at least between a dozen and twenty on video. The paralegal had thrown a sandwich, which struck an agent in his chest armor.
Neptune Spear the operation that killed bin Laden, sent 23 Seals, 2 pilots, an interpreter, and a dog on-site to capture and/or kill the most wanted dangerous terrorist in the world amid his armed guards in hostile territory. /1
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: REQUIRES 10-PERSON TACTICAL TEAM TO AREEST IN FULL RAID GEAR (even tho subject wanted to turn himself in) Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: “Go home. We love you.”
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
The president the United States using armed, masked paramilitaries to intimidate a political rival.
I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.
We don’t have a president, we have a mad king. Shaking down businesses, demanding ransom money, and presenting himself awards he never earned and doesn’t deserve, while his servile flock of toadies run around going “Yes, sir! Very good, sir!” American government has collapsed
Can we now stop dismissing the Jade Helm stuff as a silly conservative theory, and instead see it as an unintentionally revelatory form of projection by aspirationally authoritarian conservative, “freedom fighters” who were battling against tyrannical phantoms that existed only in their own psyches?
Conservative affirmative action is wild. They just let anyone do any job no matter their qualifications, so long as they’re loyal.
This is a list of events that have occurred in America in the last six months. How would you describe it if you saw it in any other country?
Autocratic leader, building on racist propaganda, falsehoods about crime data, and an alleged assault on a member of his extralegal office devoted to gutting the budget, moves to have federal armed personnel take direct control of the streets of the capital city.
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.
there’s something wild about all of these conservative white men who would, to a man, proclaim themselves to be defenders of masculinity, going on television and loudly declaring that they’re terrified of leaving their offices and homes every night
EJ Antoni wants to suspend the monthly jobs report because Trump's regime wants to suppress anything that exposes their failings. Our government used to criticize authoritarian nations for suppressing information, but now the Tangerine Tyrant's minions are acting the same way. Shameful.

I wonder if the MAGA tariff mental gymnastics is as exhausting for them as it is for me watching it
it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season
What a turn around for Milei at +15. Inflation was at 288% in December last year for Argentina 🤯🤯🤯 Now down to single digits recently.
“The studies imply that estimated life expectancy [in Gaza has fallen by more than 35 years, to half the pre-war figure. In percentage terms…bigger than…during China’s Great Leap Forward; in absolute terms it is similar to the one in the Rwanda genocide”
Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be
I'll keep saying it until someone does something about it: THE ONLY 'DEAL' TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO STRIKE IS EXTORTION
If he lied under oath isn't that perjury? Why not simply say so on your statement? Appreciate you defending these people that Trump's administration are unlawfully targeting 🙏
Deleting a post about Israel “accidentally” killing international journalists because I missed that they had declared them terrorists. Everyone involved in this genocide needs to be sent to The Hague bsky.app/profile/yasm...
📌It's amazing how little attention this is getting, when it's crystal clear these anti-American, fascist Republicans would prefer nobody ever voted again. Pretend what the unrelenting backlash would have been had ANYBODY in the Biden administration posted this.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered…Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - 1984, George Orwell
WOW. The Trump admin is rewriting reality, erasing accountability for any nation with close ties to Trump — including Russia, El Salvador, and Israel. The El Salvador report changes are egregious, totally erasing well-documented abuses. And the impact will be severe. Quick 🧵.

If the Twins didn't salary dump Correa I would be able to tolerate everything else better. That just screams Cheap Pohlads.
After Emil Bove’s confirmation, I do not want to hear shit from conservative legal movement types about how they want “good constitutionalist judges who do law, not policy” or whatever ever again
Want to hear the speech that Isaiah Martin gave that shook republicans enough to arrest him? Texas Republicans are pushing to redraw the state’s maps after pressure from the Trump administration. Speaking the truth is powerful!! Republicans can’t handle the TRUTH!!
Physical evidence of the open secret that Trump cheats at golf.
If I'm trying to sell Paddack to a team it is as a 5th starter that can convert to an elite BP arm for the playoffs. Only need 1 team to buy that argument to get some semi value for him.
WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

These clowns have no problem lying repeatedly about places they don't live in. Anything for their agenda 🤮
In areas hit by Texas floods, officials were sent over $5 million in federal ARPA funds in 2021. They didn't want to spend it on flood warning systems due to their disdain for Biden - and didn't send it BACK because it might go to a blue state, and "values that we in Kerr county don't agree with."
HUGE admission by El Salvador here; it completely puts to lie the Trump admin’s repeated claims in court that it has no control over people sent to El Salvador to be imprisoned without trial. El Salvador told the United Nations definitively; these people are being held under U.S. jurisdiction.
“The Weather Service’s nearby San Antonio office … had significant vacancies …. “That office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...
There was never an “Epstein List.” Every single person who is deeply familiar with the case has always known that. Attorneys representing Epstein victims told me that. But here’s the issue: on Fox News earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had the list on her desk to review.
The facts are simple and devastating: Aid cuts have already cost lives, and the number of deaths will continue to rise. Here’s the evidence.
Glad to see a reporter call out a lie as a lie instead of some obtuse sanewash language like "appears to be inaccurate" or some other hogwash. Earned a follow.
Few videos better epitomize the failure of MSM to meet the moment then this. Breathless horse race coverage instead of actual analysis of the impacts of what is happening. P.S. Europe has been "paying up" for over a decade now and ignoring war powers law is unconstitutional.
If you're looking to counter a friend or family member's misconceptions about Zohran Mamdani, we did a convenient rundown debunking all the smears (so far):
Incredible that they have been worse than the Twins in that span. Their recent run of competence must have pushed them above the Mets.
Bring ya ass Dame!
Paramount has joined Disney in paying bribes to Donald Trump, the Washington Post killed its Harris endorsement, Fox News functions as Republican state media, and the X algorithm amplifies fascist content. Here's why the media has a liberal bias problem.
Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.
STAGGERING: This new study of 133 countries is the first to estimate the impact of all USAID’s work. In 2 decades, it has saved *92M* lives. Current cuts, if not reversed, are forecast to cost up to *14M* lives thru 2030. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Beyond parody how cartoonishly evil and openly corrupt these clowns are.
Monstrous: "They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."
I want to reiterate that countless conservative judges issued universal injunctions against the Biden administration, and the Supreme Court never halted the practice. Now, barely five months into Trump's second term, the court puts an end to these injunctions. A brazen double standard.
Let's not understate the minimum wage increase here. $30/hour minimum is a MASSIVE increase.
