Trump’s admin says it is exploring whether the federal government can take control of the 9/11 memorial and museum in New York City
This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something
PM Carney is rolling out a sweeping Buy Canadian policy, arguing the U.S. can no longer be trusted as a reliable trading partner. “What’s going on is not a transition, it’s a rupture,” said Carney.

JD Vance's willful ignorance is only exceeded by his gratuitous unpleasantness.
APOLLO: “.. job growth in tariff-impacted sectors is now negative.”
Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).
That’s exactly what this feels like!

Middle and low-income earners’ consumer confidence is plummeting, while high earners’ is going up. Be warned: this spells doom for our consumer spending-driven economy.
Translation: see you in court, motherfuckers!
Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in
NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya: "I don't think that the mRNA causes autism"
Who would have believed the electrician and handyman from the 1990s-era sitcom "News Radio", Joe Garrelli (a character with the same first name as the actor so he wouldn't screw up) would be responsible for so much suffering, death, and destruction 30 years later...
This gives me hope during a seemingly hopeless era in American politics.
Soybeans are collapsing because China isn’t buying them. The farm economy is in deep trouble. Because of our needless trade war that we are clearly losing. Maybe farmers will wake up
Oh man, Rand paul makes a lot of sense here
PULTE: Public officials shouldn't be exempt from scrutiny SORKIN: Speaking of that, Ken Paxton has at least 3 examples of alleged mortgage fraud. Are you looking at that? PULTE: Unless it's been made public, I'm not going to comment on any specific situation S: Why wouldn't you make it public?
I expected things to get very stupid, but I’m not sure I expected things to get this stupid this quickly.
MASSIVE BREAKING: Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi just revealed that an attorney told them today that an Epstein bodyguard was an intermediary between Epstein and the CIA in 2009. Release the Epstein files now !
Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.
They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal
Great news for everyone who wants to force the Justice Department to release the Epstein files!
We are cooked
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
SCOOP: Sources at the House Oversight Committee confirm documents posted by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna are the same ~33,000 pages of Epstein documents they received — 97% already public — and part of a broader plan to block transparency.

"The AIDS epidemic was a society-altering catastrophe, one that inspired legions of future doctors—gay and straight alike—to pursue careers in infectious disease. Today they make up a disproportionate share of the specialty’s senior ranks."
In 2007, Ghislaine Maxwell became a licensed helicopter pilot. Epstein bought her a helicopter so she could transport people without commercial pilots knowing who was being taken, ensuring secrecy and privacy. She called her helicopter Air Ghislaine 2.
Adam Kinzinger: Karoline Leavitt was speaking in Christian nationalist code flip.it/EujY.y
oh this is straightforward white nationalist agitprop
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
can't ever stop won't ever stop thinking about this
the largest city in the wealthiest nation in human history can’t pay their paramedics enough to keep them from killing themselves.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Remember Emmitt Till. Stop erasing Black history.
So they decided to throw themselves a year long $21 billion military parade on the sea while the pension system is collapsing
Don't forget: @JDVance is a failed drag queen.
This is the way
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
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...
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
Oh so now it’s a *crime* to add extra toppings?
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
"Two people fighting the Bear Gulch fire on the Olympic Peninsula were arrested by federal law enforcement, in a confrontation described by firefighters and depicted in photos and video."
It’s easy to say that this is all RFK Jr., but Trump was talking about vaccines and autism at least as far back as 2014. We have to assume that Trump fully supports this and wants it.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
Shuler: This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos, or the same broken status quo. We wanted cheaper groceries—and we got tanks in our streets. We wanted affordable health care—and instead, 16 million Americans are about to be kicked off their coverage
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...

Illinois is holding the people of Minnesota closely to our hearts today. The start of the school year should be a time of renewed hope, not gun violence and devastation. We stand with the victims and their families in Minneapolis.

the first school shooting after sending your child to their first day of school is some sort of dystopian American right of passage that I’m marking today I guess
As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives. Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home. We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.
Update: it got funny again
On this, Tommy Heinsohn’s birthday, I need to remind you that the Celtics mystique is real. See you tomorrow nerds.

Breaking: According to Minneapolis police, two children — ages 8 and 10 — have been killed in the church shooting. 14 children and three adults injured. Minneapolis mayor Frey: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."
Minnesota is heartbroken. From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together. Hug your kids close.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has filed a new bid to stay in the U.S. The Salvadoran man who was illegally deported in March has reasserted his claim for asylum.
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
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.
🚨 Yesterday, Arlington, TX (heart of the DFW metropolitan area) had an AMAZING turnout for their ICE recruitment event. ✊🏼
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

I think there will be more of this happening despite that this Vet was arrested. 1st Amendment! Our Rights won’t be Taken Away without a FIGHT! #arresttrump #firstamendment #freedom #democracy
This is why it's a good idea for sports media companies to have actual journalists on staff, instead of making the guy whose job boils down to "thin rewrites of text messages from agents so he can tweet it out first" your most prominent reporter. (And Shams doesn't know how to write)
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit — the Pentagon’s in-house tech incubator — has abruptly stepped down, severing a key link with Silicon Valley.

🚨 Savannah, GA! 🚨This officer must be made famous for his brute strength in being able to slam a man to the ground while the opposition is in handcuffed. 1/2

Florida Cops Turn Traffic Stops Into Deportations @wsj.com
this is horrible AND it's a little bit funny that the blurred image is enough for me to piece together the pop culture reference as well as the antisemitism
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
Tesla rejected $60 million settlement in Autopilot case that ultimately cost it 4 times that amount
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
Yes, definitely easy to roam empty streets because one no one wants to actually visit the city or go outside because they're terrified of the men with machine guns.
It followed a fatal crash in Florida involving a truck driver who could not speak English.

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.
THIS is the way 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
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.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Nichols: Even though these guys come across as clowns, they're clowns with flamethrowers.. They have the machinery of government behind them. These are people that normally would be struggling to hold on to middle management jobs in a department store somewhere
