If Bill Clinton is in Epstein Files and the Trump Administration still isn't releasing them, those files must be REALLY bad.
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.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US 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?"
MAGA PSA: No, you may not legally shoot and kill a child for ringing your doorbell. You may also not legally shoot and kill someone for irritating you, for disrespecting you, for disagreeing with you, or even for calling you a traitorous sack of cvnt cheese.
You’re gonna want to write a book sometime
FUCK IT: Make Graham Platner the Speaker of the House.
Pretty cool how we just don’t get read-outs on calls with foreign leaders any more. I’m sure if a Democrat did this, it would be fine.
Common ground with fascists. We need better leadership.
I don’t think a lot of people on the right understand that a lot of people on the left regularly hear people on the left spout opinions we too think are ridiculous, annoying and buzz-killing too, only we don’t then decide it’s worth destroying democracy because Tara thinks bin bags are classist
They don’t want to lose access.
One thing Trump has really done a great job of is exposing Jake Tapper as a gutless pussy and a partisan.
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
Reporter: there's a school shooting problem in america Trump: sure but there are thousands of schools where there are no shootings
Sen Katie Britt from Alabama I think.
Unbelievably stupid. Trump has done the impossible and made me actually sympathize with Modi
Yeah, I could do a better Trump tweet than this. “It is very important”? “Justify the success”? That is not how Trump talks or writes.
one can dream...
Everyone involved in this needs consequences
The President Is A King And Congress Doesn't Matter.
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Each and every week there's a new post insisting that Twitter is "our national public square" or "the only conversation that matters" and every time it's written by by Some Guy I Only Know From Twitter and Haven't Thought About Once Since Leaving Twitter.
Remember in early 2022, when Anthony Fauci was overheard on a live mic describing Sen. Roger Marshall as a “moron”? tinyurl.com/4hpn9j52 I find myself thinking about that quote with some regularity.
Let's spend more money for no real reason. Trump shifts Space Command from Colorado to Alabama, rewarding a loyal red state. The move undercuts readiness and exposes national security to partisan games, turning defense strategy into another MAGA political favor.
One thing is always true of authoritarianism: The bourgeoisie always submit to the dictator in the interests of Capital
If Schumer bails them out again…
Trump is once again weaponizing government power for revenge. Schiff, James, and Cook are the latest targets—dragged into “fraud” investigations pulled straight from Trump’s enemies list. This isn’t justice. It’s political retribution. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/selective-...
Dems voted for her
there has been no articles on the fact that the Vice President follows a guy who reads SS memoirs
Judge Breyer cites the statements made by President Trump and DoD Secretary Hegseth about deploying the National Guard around the country in blue cities as grounds for finding that it's necessary to issue an injunction blocking the Trump admin from continuing to violate the law.
Republican Medicaid cuts putting women in rural areas at risk
Access journalists confuse “access” for “transparency”. Sure Semafor/Politico/TheHill/Axios/NYT have “access” to Trump, but they learn & tell US nothing important or meaningful, just get fed disinformation to amplify to US. They are, at best useful idiots, but really willing collaborators against US
That's why I'm here... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)
This is immoral and wrong and almost certainly illegal and unconditional and every Democrat should be denouncing or and fighting it.

He yelled “They’re eating the dogs! They’re eating the cats!” during the 2024 debate and more people voted for him in 2024 than 2020.
Ewww
To be an authoritarian “All you need is a complete lack of conscience and restraint, an insatiable desire for control, worship and revenge, and a simple understanding of what makes people afraid. Trump’s reptilian intelligence meets that inglorious standard.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
I’m in the camp that blames this on the internet. It showed people with extremist views they’re not as fringe as they thought, and gave them tools to organize, while getting tons of regular people to believe the most important issue is “something must be done about the people who bother me online.”
These people are unrepentant racists but also too cowardly to use the slur they so desperately want to.
As we celebrate Labor Day, President Trump is rolling back the rights of federal workers to organize unions and collectively bargain. Eliminating these protections is a violation of workers' free speech rights.
It’s very clear — at least so far — that Trump’s health is not a news “event,” but what’s even more puzzling is the extent to which the national media doesn’t even treat it as a news “story.”
Calling @jaketapper.bsky.social - Official Reporter Very Concerned About Presidential Health - Where you at, Jake?
Sorry, what’s the “tension”?
(First of all this is the right way to write the headline.) But second, note that 😡’s strategic goal is not to change how Americans vote, but to create a pretext for throwing out the votes of those states that don’t comply. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Making a kitchfest that celebrates an America that never existed (also, founded in 1969) your entire personality is a sign of mental and moral distress, but also popular. Not sure what to do here in an era of every third truck on I-95 sporting the logo of a 5th tier restaurant from Myrtle Beach.
Leaving aside the typical histrionics, this seems to be Trump beginning to distance himself from Kennedy (who’s “ripping apart” CDC), and inviting mainstream physicians and scientists to defend the vaccines, so Trump can then say, I got them to explain it better and vaccines are OK.

He might as well order a unicorn. The press need to stop acting as a stenographer and phrasing this crap like he has the authority to make it happen.
That fits. Unfortunately, we keep electing them to represent us. We the people need to expect better and to make wiser choices. Decades of barely caring about the responsibilities associated with democratic citizenship.
Who needs ethics when you can make money?
Space Caligula can fuck off back to South Africa
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white. *Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.

I wrote about the humility of expertise and the arrogance of ignorance, the profound laziness that attends believing that you can find knowledge by ignoring the accumulation of inherited human knowledge, and the ways lazy arrogance fuels narratives of fascism. www.the-reframe.com/your-ignoran...
JUST IN: Judge who blocked the transfer of about 600 Guatemalan minors from US to Guatemala Sunday is keeping a very tight leash on the government. Echoes of Alien Enemies Act litigation simply deafening here. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Oh no please don’t make me support DMB
The shooter's entire philosophy was "edgelord" and chose targets based on what would a. hurt the most other people, and b. have the least likelihood of having folks armed there.
Haha hey anybody remember Jill Stein?
We finally banned them again, except for lunch/hallways. It’s been 11 years of BS and watching student engagement rapidly diminish because we couldn’t compete with the constant dopamine hit of social media.
That is the fault of the media and the pundit class. I listen to elected Dems. They are full of care and concern for their "neighbors", and piss and vinegar for Trumpism. Why aren't you reporting any of that? Where's the story on what it means to think of constituents as neighbors? You're failing.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Brilliant
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
I wasn’t super convinced that something was seriously wrong with Trump until he tweeted this
Not remotely whatsoever.
Always a mafia shakedown. Always compensating for not having what the Black President got. What a small, awful man.
Waiting until we find out it was a prostitute.
Live look at Jake Tapper
He obviously knows where he’s going.
No shit.
(During today’s hearing, the judge said that her clerks have also been up since around 2:30 a.m., when she called them about the emergency motion for a temporary restraining order.) bsky.app/profile/anna...
So after Trump is dead
He likely voted the way his party and the NRA lobbyists demanded he vote, and the reasons weren't important to him. So now he doesn't have an easy excuse.
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
So when will they be disbarred?
Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.
This is the way
University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index was 74.0 in December, now 58.2 in August. Conference Board’s consumer confidence index was 104.7, now 97.4. Government officials shouldn’t go on TV and blatantly lie like this.
Dan in March: Fuck anti-trans Democrats. Dan in August: it's problematic but the trans gotta go whaddya gonna do amiright 🤷🏻♂️
No big whoop, just Donald Trump pissing away three decades of U.S. diplomacy due to a fit of personal pique. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
OK, Hear Me Out...A 'LORD OF THE RINGS' Remake, but with These Two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
Thank you @adamkinzinger.substack.com Trump cares so much for our National Guard....NOT!! Puts them on orders for 29 days only so they are not paid housing allowance or health insurance Adam Kinzinger on X ⬇️⬇️
Investigative stuff is why I subscribe to independent media, including the handbasket. For me reason, large media with 1000x the resources will never do what I want, which is tell me what's what, who's who, and who's a little bitch.
Washington did warn about the dangers of political parties and factions. Here we are.
