I woke up with a CRAZY scary stupid thought: Maybe I should run for Congress against Steny Hoyer. Dudeās been in office since 1981. Heās in his late 80s. If I do it, Iāll run as a progressive independent caucusing with, but not controlled by Dems. And I will NOT take PAC money of any kind.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Trump fires Lisa Cook in an unprecedented move, and immediately the US dollar sinks against the Yen (in red), the Euro (teal), and the British Pound (purple). Stocks are also sorting it out, but down around a quarter point. Point is: Markets don't think this is move helps American business.
Today proved once again that no one is covering the GOP's redistricting scheme as closely and with as much analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you independent pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
I know itās considered rude to speak ill of the dead so in celebration of his lifeās work, hereās a chart from Dr. James Dobson that helped generations of parents figure out the exact right number of times to hit their kids with a belt.
It's a shame there isn't really a hell ...
This Federalist Society law professor isnāt sure
Everything Trump does is criminal. Period. Legally or morally criminal.
White supremacist tropes and ironic viral jokes illustrate the administration's project of redefining who belongs in the United States.
Itās clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didnāt see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.
It would be a huge step forward for Democrats and for general clarity in political writing if these terms went away. These came mostly from academic hothouses.
The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congressās laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.
DC police are now harrasssing people on metro bus stops. This is Fascism.
Dark. And even darker: Itās called āFort Blissā www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Has the @wsj.com admitted its source for the Epstein stories was Gislaine Maxwell yet? The leaks stopped after she got her sex offender status waived and she was moved to club fed after meeting with Trumpās fixer Todd Blanche.
This is a man who is clearly suffering. Gavin needs to stop. Itās just cruel and abusive at this point. Itās MAGA abuse.
Itās not a crackdown itās a takeover

I need an end to the Gavin Newsom thirst posting if you need a straight white man Democrat to stand up to Trump pick Andy Beshear who has never compromised on trans rights even for a moment
Hypothetically. If complimenting trump meant that there would definitely be 2026 elections and the Dems would sweep Congress in a landslide , would you compliment Trump ? Or, Is is that thought so abhorrent, you couldnāt bring yourself to do it. Even at the expense of staying the minority?
The White House listed an exhibit on LGBTQ history at the Smithsonian as objectionable and something to be removed.
The only reason a rational person would abandon this research and technology would be that he did not understand anything about it!
An important read. The US is the leader in mRNA tech, & has an advantage in manufacturing & regulatory expertise. But in an era when biological threats can be designed, losing this edge would leave us vulnerable & dependent on others for this powerful tool. š§Ŗšš www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/o...
maybe they will build a nuclear power plant instead?
This wind project will provide energy to 350,000 people. Theyāre determined to increase cost of living & kneecap American prosperity & economic strength, which are very dependent on energy abundance.
Trump is destroying more than the eye can see.
Multiple postal services around Europe say they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties.

Why is the Police Department and Army complicit in this coup?
Perfect response; to cover brutal ugliness and oppression with beauty and expression.
God I love Mexico!!! When Trump ordered the border wall painted black to absorb the sun's heat and make climbing harder, Mexico responded by painting beautiful murals on their side
If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, heād likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.
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
Heās wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how heād do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. Heās using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
The people who say we talk too much about slavery are the same ones who insist that we need public monuments and statues of men who are famous solely for waging a war of treason in defense of slavery. Statues that were created explicitly to deny any sense of "hope and progress" after the Civil War.
Weāre living real time in the first vestiges of Authoritarianism
Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.ā ā Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
Idk. Boebert is pretty dumb.
Jordan on Ghislaine Maxwell Transcript: This confirms what we all knew: President Trump didnāt do anything wrong. This transcript confirms that. Thereās nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell.
Turning the military on the people is exactly what the Founders didnāt want.
I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this incredible tribute. I can only say I'm honored, flattered, and humbledāand, of course, deeply grateful to everyone who made this accolade possible. I pledge to do my utmost to live up to it. šš¼š¤
Fuck J.K. ROWLING I hope she dies of whatever cancer most accurately fits her personality
We realize this now
Well done Illinois.š Take care!!

This is exactly correct. The Department of Justice is essentially siding with a child sex trafficker. I never thought I would see it, but here it is. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
I am only interested in peace, consistency stability, respect and loyalty. Beautiful Soulš
This may be the one thing Cali and TX have in common.
Residents of California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are hit the hardest.

For the better part of a year, I have ben blowing the horn that banning "Gender affirming care" will kill ppl, like me. Been holding that shit up, best I can, by myself. It's getting really damn heavy, Y'all.
āWhy is it the case that whenever they attack āwokeness,ā they attack our story?ā @esglaude.bsky.socialā¬ asks in response to Trumpās complaints that the Smithsonian Institution overemphasizes slavery. āWe cannot become passive participants in this destruction,ā warns @imaniperry.bsky.socialā¬.
Thanks to the Medicaid cuts in Trump's Big Ugly Bill, hospitals across America are facing severe cuts and closure ā all so the ultra-wealthy can get even richer. This is what class warfare looks like. https://www.commondreams.org/news/hospital-closures-gop-medicaid
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M ā 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and thatās not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
Only 6-10 wars or conflicts? Gosh, I thought Trump could solve everything on day one. 6-10 such an odd number to land on.
QAnon account on TS w/ 80k followers did this poll. Maxwell is about to be pardoned giving up ZERO names. This aināt 5D chess; itās a pedophile implosion.
The only campaign promise he kept was freeing the J6 thugs
Warren: He said that with a single phone call he would end the war in Ukraine. He said he would end the war in Gaza. And I think I remember him saying he would release all of the Epstein filesā¦ He promised that on day one he would lower costs for American families. We are now on day 215.
If someone insists that they're a federal agent but won't give you their name, show their badge and/or produce a warrant, just inform them that you are, in fact, the Duke of Saxony.

Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
Energy is reserved to Westminster. Labour has thrown Scottish refinery workers under the bus. Remember that in 2026 Scotland. You dinnae like it when Thatcher did it, so don't stand for it noo. Grangemouth the only refinery in Scotland!! @lbc.co.uk news.stv.tv/east-central...
The world's largest retailer ā like many others ā has been absorbing most of the increased costs, but raising prices of some goods.
5 things Trump did this week: 1. Threatened to take over more cities 2. Announced tariffs to raise furniture prices 3. Continued covering-up the Epstein files 4. Got roasted by South Park again 5. Went on another taxpayer-funded golf trip
Since when has @cnn.com become an outlet for pro-Russian propaganda?! Fuck you guys!
Socialism for me, but not for theeā is the literal foundation of policies enacting white privilege.
1965: "The Soviet Union is evil & communist for having government ownership of private companies!" 2025: "Isn't it super-cool that the United States has government ownership of a private company?"
