The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.

Russia, Russia, Russia!! HOAX!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
With a picture taken today by Getty Images; once again: do I know WTF is going on with Trump? I do not. Do YOU know WTF is going on with Trump? You do not All I know is he has never voluntarily STFU for five days since he was born
NEW -- Exactly 10 days after taking the oath early this year, Donald Trump nearly drowned dozens, potentially hundreds, of his own citizens in California’s Central Valley. Why? Because he is one of the most ignorant people you will ever meet. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
not the first person to make this observation but its rules that the "i wont let my body temple be defiled by putting seed oils or processed food in it" people and the "let me go behind the gym to inject these steroids i bought from a guy i met here" people have merged into the same group.
More name changes afoot… Department of Defense = Department of War Department of Education = Department of Keeping You Stupid Center for Disease Control = Center for Crackpot Conspiracies Department of Agriculture = Department of Subsidies for Farmers going broke from tariffs
What does it say about America if the person who can become a dictator here is a complete buffoon, a know nothing, a rapist, a pedophile, and a transparent grifter? Have we always been a country of empty headed, gullible citizens ?
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
A true legend is gone. #RIP @cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-kn...
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
If Democrats can get it together enough to take back the House, I don't see them having much left in the arsenal other than a desire to return to normal governing which will assure that trump doesnt leave office in 2028
Evercore wuz right.
I miss the old brand #CDC
Clueless in Anchorage, as Putin chumps Trump again and again and again. Is it just incompetence, or does Putin have something on him?
You’d like to think Trumpsters would care more about fixing the problem than silencing and punishing the crew’s warnings. “Captain, we think there’s an iceberg ahead.” “That’s insubordinate — to the brig with you!”
Kids were shot dead in church today in Minnesota but people will not get as worked up about it as a Cracker Barrel logo change.
“The American is (typically) like the oak tree — he stands firm against the wind. If the wind is strong, he cracks. The Oriental (prefers to) stand like bamboo, bending with the wind and springing back when the wind ceases— stronger than ever before.” -Bruce Lee
Trump is keeping his right hand below the table so the camera can't see it
This is your Democratic campaign message for 2026

I don’t want to hear a single word about Democrats and socialism ever again. EVER.
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
At this point, if Democrats retake the House and/or the Senate in 2026, I put the odds at no less than 30% there is a “Reichstag fire” incident and Trump uses it to seize more powers.
Trump: "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator."
Didn't take long to get to this...
He's not even trying to mask his intent.
It's high time for us to consider that we Americans owe our Constitution and democratic heritage far more than our fortunes and sacred honor.

I get the need to want everything to be nice and normal, but we are going to walk into a full dictatorship posting flower pics, keeping appointments, buying shit- just keeping it normal.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social deserves a Nobel Peace Prize
A new book about the Duke of York has been edited to remove a claim that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Donald Trump to his wife Melania, and that both Trump and Melania and Melania and Epstein had sex together almost immediately after the introduction. www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family...
“.. The two agents said something to each other, and they decided to just throw him in the car and take off,” he said. “It’s an extraordinarily abnormal thing to witness.” (via @cnn.com) www.cnn.com/2025/08/23/u...
I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this incredible tribute. I can only say I'm honored, flattered, and humbled—and, of course, deeply grateful to everyone who made this accolade possible. I pledge to do my utmost to live up to it. 🙏🏼🤗
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?
> @ericmgarcia.bsky.social
Surprise, surprise, that "dictator only on day one" thing was bullshit. ICE raids. Military occupation. Loyalists installed in gov't. DOJ used for political retribution. Redistricting to fix elections. Pay-me capitalism. US Democracy is dead. The question is what YOU are going to do about it?
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.
via @popularliberal.bsky.social Helen, an Air Force vet, breaks down why rural America leans Republican: fear, jealousy, and a lack of accurate information. She calls out the corruption tied to Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Trump’s team, exposing how they profit millions from Netanyahu.
The most impressive thing about this campaign is how *creative* they are. They’re trying new stuff! Multiple times during the last few months I’ve thought “wow, I’ve never seen a campaign do that.” Much more of that needed everywhere.
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
The grass in DC is dead? SOD!
BRUSUELAS: “.. Domestic electricity inflation inside the July consumer price index increased by 9.5% on a six-month average annualized basis. .. it will most likely move higher.” #CPI ⚡️
That or the peepee tape is real
Like Putin has something on trump, it surely feels like trump has something on Joe. Mika is rarely on anymore. I dont think she can abide the new Joe.
Newsom goes 🔠 on Trump and Democrats should too. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
Seems Joe was chastened by the comments here yesterday regarding his total misunderstanding of what Newsom was doing by mocking trump. In his effort to stay on trump's good side, Joe is destroying his viewership.
That was Teleprompter Trump.
Omg, JD Vance getting heckled by people yelling ‘COUCH F*CKER’ as he visits Union Station to survey Trump’s militarization of D.C.
Vance and Hegseth leaving Union Station, lots of boos
As of late last month, the investigation—led by US senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat of Georgia—had unearthed 41 cases of physical and sexual abuse; 14 involving pregnant detainees and 18 involving children.
For decades the Democrats have been the adults in the room. They talk about kitchen table issues. What does the media do? Flock like moths to the flame to hear and clean up trump's crazy talk. The Democrats left talking to no one.
Joe is as clueless about Newsom's mocking of trump as the Republicans are. Newsom is not trying to be like trump, he's showing through mockery how stupid trump sounds, and is. For some reason, the legacy media doesn't want that pointed out.
Happy @runforsomething.net endorsement day!! 54 amazing new leaders running for state + local office *now* across 21 states. medium.com/run-for-some...
for once, i agree with Trump - he should not be allowed to vote unless he demonstrates he can remember his license plate
In a stunning moment, Elise Stefanik was booed off the stage twice at an event in her district.
Trump: On war criminal Putin: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with him” On sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well” On pedophile Epstein: “He’s a lot of fun to be with” On J6: “It was a day of love” To everyone who has enabled this evildoer, a pox on you and your houses.
I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.” It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

She's like a dog with a bone on Epstein. It's great.
My kids spent more time negotiating for an Xbox.
If I ran one of the New York City tabloids this would be my headline
[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down
just lost $100,000 on a polymarket bet that trump would negotiate a peace deal today with putin. i was sure of it. i can't believe i lost all this money. he wrote the art of the deal.
everyone is being unfair to mister trump. he finally found a new best friend after his previous best friend died in prison under mysterious circumstances a few years ago. he’s moving on and i for one am happy for him.
I am a firm believer that whatever was said between Trump and Putin (whose English is good enough) privately in The Beast for several minutes without witnesses is the real reason for this whole last minute summit. And I am not so sure it was just about Ukraine.
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
Every news station in America should run Trump grinning and clapping for Putin side-by-side with Trump tearing into Zelenskyy

This pales alongside her Birkin bags and solid gold Rolex, not to mention her live-in adulterous chief of staff Corey Lewandowski, but it's another item. She's probably the ripest cabinet member for impeachment, applying the pre-Trump impeachment standards in any event.
“.. In the early 20th century, highs [in Phoenix] typically reached 110 degrees fewer than 10 days a year. Last year, it happened 70 times. “.. Nine of the city’s 10 hottest years on record have come since 2010.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/w...
Out of the blue, Trump called the Norwegian finance minister to ask when he would get the Nobel prize suggesting he would impose tariffs if he did not www.dn.no/politikk/fre...

B of A: Data-center electricity demand is contributing to the jump in your electric bill — a 5.8% increase in electricity prices year-on-year, more than double the overall CPI increase of 2.7%. @mikezaccardi.bsky.social
im sorry, i love these and think the entire dem caucus should spend an entire week posting like this just to mock the absurdity of it all

It's a good thing Trump doesn't pay attention to anything so trivial as TV ratings.
(NBC News) - President Donald Trump's pick to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics was among the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with the White House saying he was a "bystander" who wandered over after seeing coverage on the news. @ryanjreilly.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
BLS Commissioner is a role that has never gone to an ideologue. It’s been for data nerds who care only about numbers. Put in someone with a record of distorting data, and every figure becomes tainted.
EJ Antoni is Trump's pick to run BLS. Here he is in front of his Zoom background, a photo of the pride of Hitler's Kriegsmarine, the Bismarck. Very appropriate pick, particularly considering that the Royal Navy sunk it in 1941.
Just a reminder: JD Vance had Disneyland shut down so he and his family could tour it all alone. He's that kind of guy.
In agency after agency, the US government is losing its capacity to measure how American society is functioning, making it much harder to gauge the nature and scale of the problems we are facing and the effectiveness of policies. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
