The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Trump scheduled a flyover and told Congress that anyone who voted for the release of the Epstein files would be seen as “very hostile” because he and Epstein raped little girls for years.
Dear god and these are just the ones willing to speak up. "As many as 100 Epstein victims will attend Washington rally Wednesday" www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Love how Biden couldn’t forgive student loans and now we have this
Scott Jennings and Ben Shapiro are currently both sitting at a panel table on CNN, not OANN. Seems like a pretty good barometer of where things are in this country. 😕🇺🇸
COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.

The Democratic party leadership is only concerned with finding moderates who don't rock the boat too much – and that's the exact opposite of what we need and what this time demands.

And now I just learned our president ordered the murder of 11 people. Every day a new low.
A lot of research went into this one --- I've been reading old articles and legal filings to understand WTF happened to #Ohio: open.substack.com/pub/rachelco... #redistricting #gerrymandering
"A picture is worth a thousand words." This is likely the best photo Adam Scotti ever took of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It conveys all that Canadians loved (and miss) about PMJT. Taken 9/1/2015.
African communities rose up to tell Total Energies they are tired of being exploited. Tired of unfulfilled promises from Big Oil. Tired of politicians getting richer whilst communities face biodiversity loss, environmental destruction, displacement, & inadequate compensation. #KickTotalOutOfAfrica
Donald Trump is a horrible user & abuser of women. He always has been. Today’s Substack. Give it a read.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...
The coronis fritillary follows a migration within Central Washington, emerging in the spring in Yakima Valley & taking refuge in the Cascades in the summer. The idea that a butterfly was taking its own annual journey within Yakima County intrigued Dr. David James, who studied the monarch for years.

It's hard to say for sure with the holiday weekend interruption, but we might be close to the peak for the summer. Let's see if Friday's data confirms the slowdown. For comparison, last summer peaked at 2.6%. A peak this week would match my forecast on both timing+intensity.
this is the guy the energy abundance bros lauded lmao
The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction for disputes between states (meaning they can actually file the lawsuit there, rather than have it go up on appeal). This would be a good time for Illinois to utilize it.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
Good morning to you 🌞 from the Southern Coast on the

On our latest episode, Michigan AG @dananessel.bsky.social and I discuss the unsettling reality of human trafficking in America. This eye-opening conversation dismantles misconceptions about what trafficking actually looks like and who it affects. Listen here: buzzsprout.com/2442606/epis...
#BREAKING: Fifth Circuit (Southwick & Ramirez, JJ.) holds that President Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act against Tren de Aragua is unlawful, and blocks AEA removals in the Northern District of Texas (over a lengthy dissent from Judge Oldham): www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...
The news cycle continues to feel like marinating in sewage
Phang: The judge notes that the MacArthur Park show of force was just sheer political theater. Major General Sherman, objected, expressing concern that there would be a large number of people because it was Father’s Day. To which Bovino criticized him, questioning his loyalty to the country.
If Palantir wasn’t so embedded in UK government elsewhere, then this *might* work - but let’s face it, given their proliferation and their Labour bedfellows, that’s highly unlikely - and yet another way to sell data that could not be resisted
this now brings us up to six (!) grand jury refusals to charge (that we know about), plus two cases filed as part of the dc surge dismissed on the us attorney's office's request
The leaders of California's high-speed rail project say they've learned from past mistakes. But the troubled megaproject faces an uncertain future with $4 billion in federal funding tied up in court.
We’re back. Join our next nationwide day of defiance on October 18. Trump’s regime is abducting immigrants, deploying troops in our streets, rigging maps to silence voters, and defying the courts, but standing up to wannabe kings is part of our DNA. Let’s get to work: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

Putting military lawyers in charge of immigration courts is problematic—and “unlawful”
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
The president is using the wartime power to streamline the deportations of Venezuelans alleged to be members of the Tren de Aragua gang. The move has attracted legal challenges.
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
AMERICA IS A TERRORIST STATE.
So the U.S. military just blew up 11 people on the open sea in an extrajudicial massacre, saying they were dangerous drug traffickers but offering no court prior evidence to claim such. And other military units are patrolling U.S. cities with guns and no training in criminal procedure. Cool, cool.
BREAKING: Judge Breyer rules that President Trump's deployment of the military to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, says Trump is using military as a "national police force with the president as its chief." Injunction granted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Mother fucker. And daughter too.
Sad for Oklahoma. POS.
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
We bombed an open motorboat and the people on it had no due process. We pulled a Germany sub in WWI type thing. How do I explain to my classes THAT we just pulled a WWI belligerent move as I teach the Lusitania and Sussex?
The only way he will face justice is if the ppl drag him out and into the streets like Italy did Mussolini

When we take back the House and presidency, we cannot just build it back. It was not working. We have to reexamine and reimagine how we can meet the moment we are in now. #flipca40 #orangecounty #unseatyoungkim #takebackthehouse #ca40 #california
🤣🤣🤣😂 Prosecute!
No one wants to have to fight for their family when they're just a teenager. But when that was what I felt had to do – I did it. That's what Iowans want. A fighter, not a follower.

Mobile billboard rolling thru downtown Washington DC
Call it public corruption, at a level we’ve never ever seen. Or call it something that should be illegal, and something that would have outraged EVERY American before political tribalism became king. Or you could just call it the “swamp,” that he pledged to drain.👇
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Why is a talking corpse in charge of my health???
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
See through it.
Trump’s weird hand makeup, changing stories about a bag tossed out a WH window, and Vance saying he’s ready to be POTUS? Which would be a big win for Musk and Thiel. Zeteo’s @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and I discuss: youtu.be/ZVsSN3VDc6c
We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
#YesScotland🏴
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Congratulations Bruce Hilpert for your excellent Letter to the Editor in today's Daily Star!

(Homer Simpson whisper) HE MEANS WHITE PEOPLE
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Note the drooping eye and that they don’t track together. TIA’s and stroke.
NEW: Lawmakers unwilling to battle Trump directly have been quietly hopeful the courts would resolve President Trump's bid to commandeer their power of the purse. It hasn't happened, and now the hour of reckoning has arrived. w/ Jen Scholtes www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Oh look, two new graphics after I made a bad typo on the first one. These are meant to be cropped, printed and dropped to get the attention of the general public who might not know a) how incoming bills may affect them too and b) the power of art. USE PHYSICAL MEDIA AS A TOOL, NOW.
Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org
Watch @Tesla Full Self-Driving v13.2.9 in Australia drive straight towards construction barriers, forcing the driver to swerve to avoid a crash. @ElonMusk your defective software is putting lives at risk around the world.
"Of the 384 cases filed through August 28 against the Trump administration, 130 have led to orders blocking at least part of the president’s efforts, and 148 cases await a ruling, according to a review by Just Security." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite
Supreme Court begins the verdict and sentencing phase of Jair Bolsonaro's coup trial Tuesday, with the former president facing a possible 40-year sentence.
In one of the country's priciest housing markets, Utah's leaders worry young people are shut out from building wealth. But despite new incentives, few developers are signing on to build smaller homes.
I think flip 4 could happen. Would be awesome to get to 67 and take the House. Automatic Impeach & Remove!! Open investigations and get rid of all these grifters. Could even get some universal health care, cheap prescription medicine, Green Energy, New Supreme Court justices all the good stuff.
Trump’s regime wants to put AI in charge of deciding which Medicare patients receive care — and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong, and Congress must take action. 👇
