One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.
The courts handed Trump a loss and handed a win to the people. It’s sad when the courts have to step in and tell a President that he can’t use the military against civilians.
I mean, Boasberg kinda had a point, "Boasberg, however, questioned how dangerous Jones really was if the Secret Service had decided not to arrest her a day earlier – despite saying she planned on coming to Washington."
It's getting harder and harder to pretend that there's any separation of power.
Book grift. I think she's wrong on two accts: 1. It's the will of the majority of Americans to have Roe, and 2. It's not the courts job to "respect the choices of the American People" in the direct democratic sense she implies. It's to interpret and apply the US Constitution and Federal Law.
Coincidence that the Epstein survivors speak the next day? www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Is this to take attention away from the Epstein victims?
I'm glad the judge let them have it. www.wusa9.com/article/news...
Here's the response from Paul Bryant, the Black veteran and lawyer whom the govt arrested in part bc he had a legal weapon in DC, to USG attempt to get him detained. It leans heavily into the lack of Body Cam proving he shoulder checked some Guardsmen. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's claim that CBS News edited her interview to hide a criminal's MS-13 gang affiliation is incorrect. The full transcript shows she made the claim. CBS added an editor's note that Kilmar Abrego Garcia has not been charged with gang-related crimes.
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Judge Sooknanan: And I tried to reach the government. I have been up since then..and didn't reach anyone from the government until later this morning. And the imminence that the plaintiff claimed proved true, because, in fact, those planes *were* loaded. One actually took off and was returned.
When she's done reading select quotes from the plaintiff's declarations, Judge Sooknanan sums it up as follows: "And so this doesn't quite line up with what I'm hearing from the government.
The extra details RE the domestic violence victim maybe legit, but it seems off like the DC Big Balls story.
Yeah, I totally had no idea, & I live in GA.
I was just doing a search for the accident, & apparently that has been satisfied. www.bbc.com/news/article...
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
It really angers me. I lost a friend in Afghanistan. He was there fighting for the principles of democracy. The freedom to choose our leaders and our religion (or lack of one). He has the Medal of Honor. This woman’s actions goes against everything he (and we) were defending.
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...

A mother is filing a $1 million claim after her 15-year-old son was held at gunpoint by immigration goons in Los Angeles.
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Question, why does Stephen Miller come up at all when talking about DHS? He is the White House Deputy Chief of Staff; that position is not usually a position involved in DHS.
Due to Trump's involvement with TT, I am boycotting it, and can't see what you shared. Sorry.
Agreed.
I hope to God his wife & daughter are safely away. My former neighbor finally got justice for her friend after a long court battle, but the husband was believed forever before he murdered her www.forsythnews.com/local/we-kne...
I hope the people received citizenship, but I fear the actual outcome under this government www.mediaite.com/crime/man-ob...
ICYMI — JUDGE: “This case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcast…” 2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. 🤷🏻♂️ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...
Even reading it that way, it's still a hit piece. We tried the high road, but I'm sorry, right now I feel like the gloves are off. -- I'm married to a naturalized citizen, & live in fear. It's not supposed to be like this, but it is due to this current regime.
2/2 Leave it to those who aren't going to twist it. If not, then so be it. Honestly, the end of Lorenz's YT makes it seem more like she is jealous, than anything. It was weird.
And I think that's where the courts would come into play; especially if different people have different terms. It gets complicated due to pay, and other things that may be considered proprietary, or get twisted (as it has). Ppl are interpreting it differently. 1/2
Based on what I've seen, I disagree on that. I will wait to see whether they take the extra step of using the courts.
BTW, for your 2nd square, the reason Lorenz raises 🚩 for me is past experience. I have seen her stealth edit, & have to do previous corrections. nypost.com/2022/06/04/w...
I hope that RFK Jr. has him on an exclusively beef tallow diet.
Ha! Wow. If we're starting to get to that level, I'm done.
I believe you mentioned O'Brien? Yes, I watched that, and read the contract over her shoulder as well. My opinion is different; similar to that of the YT video I keep mentioning.
You keep moving the football when it comes to Lorenz.
I'm not going to do the work for you. I read the article, and gave you a source that compiles the responses of multiple creators from the article. You need to decide whether you want to give them the time of day, or only listen 2 someone who also has a history shady unknown motives.
Like Lorenz? www.usermag.co
If you watch the YT video I originally posted, those items are all discussed. You can choose whether or not you agree. It's what I've been saying from the beginning...you choose whether or not you want to go watch. Whatever 🤙
As I said before (maybe it got lost w/ multiple comments), Lorenz wrote the article. She chooses what to publish from the lawyer, & what was asked. The Chorus creators responded, you can listen to them, & decide whether you believe them or not. Then, ultimately, it comes down to court.
Do you prefer The Guardian? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Wired is ultimately in control of what is printed. Chorus creators have responded via their media of choice. You can choose to watch, or not. To believe them, or not. If it goes further, that will be up to a jury/mediator to decide. 🤷♀️
That's not the point. The point is that you are giving weight to something just because it was printed in wired. Do you know Lorenz personally? Do you know she didn't use AI to assist her? Do you know her personal motives? Why didn't she research the payment for Right Wing creators?
I used to think WaPo was a good source, along with the LA Times, then they got new owners. As far as what Wired wouldn't do *ahem* nypost.com/2025/08/22/b...
If you think it's heavily researched, then you and I clearly have different definitions.
The point is that "dark money" is prolific. There's a reason why this particular group was highlighted. 🤯
Where did I say I didn't read the article? I have read it, but questioned the motives. Look at the Whitehouse briefing; Officer Tatum was just allowed to ask questions at the last briefing. What's going on that all of a sudden there's this "hit" piece? Very suspicious. Choose to watch or not.
Would you like a more current source www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
IMHO, it's been worth the watch. You can choose whether or not to take the time; I watched/listened at 1.75 speed while I was doing other stuff. It seems to me that it's sensationalism, targeting certain creators. Just my 2 cents.
Watch the video; it's very thorough. Specially RE "dark money" is roughly around 42 minutes.
Did you write book reports w/o reading the books too?
Actually, this seems to be a better eval of the video youtu.be/tScUUFKqBp4?...
It depends on the stone; oddly enough, Mankato, MN (think Tim Walz; was my teacher) has a limestone quarry (Kasota Stone). There's a bunch of buildings in MN that are limestone/dolostone. It is so slippery when wet though, so not sure an event courtyard was the best idea.
Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.
IMHO, they plan on taking us to war, & then claiming they can't hold elections.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
🤣
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
Let that sink in.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Two more potentially radioactive shrimp recalls. I think that brings us to five so far. 26,460 packages of Cocktail Shrimp 6oz: www.fda.gov/safety/recal... 18,000 bags (net wt. 2lbs) of Kroger Mercado Cooked Medium Peeled Tail-Off Shrimp: www.fda.gov/safety/recal...
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
The maddening thing is that we know EXACTLY how to prevent this. Yes, kids should get vaccinated, test, stay home when sick, mask as much as possible. But even without any of that: Better ventilation and filtration in schools can MASSIVELY reduce viral spread, for all sorts of respiratory diseases.
*FED'S COOK RETAINS ACCESS TO OFFICE AND DEVICES: CNBC
RFK Jr is falsely claiming the CDC considers abortion one of the great modern medical advances. It doesn’t say that anywhere. In fact, the CDC lists reducing the number of abortions as a success. He’s lying. Ask yourself why.

Dear Puritanical Pixie: Every country on Earth struggles with the human heart. And mental health. But none, however, has mass shooting like the United States. It's the guns, you irresponsible bearer of false witness. Sincerely, Jesus
If he thinks a few transgender people out of several thousand murderers is "a common denominator," wait until he hears how many of them were using automatic weapons.
🚨🚨🚨 Alligator Alcatraz 🚨🚨🚨 Univision is reporting calls from Alligator Alcatraz that guards have used teargas against the detainees. Several Florida detainees and their families contacted Noticias 23 to report an alleged riot. "They're mistreating us, they're beating us, help us." #DCFL
He is so good at doublespeak. People aren't saying that prayer is bad, they are saying it isn't enough. He knows that, & intentionally misleads the MAGA followers.
RFK JR says that the CDC provided misinformation during the covid pandemic saying their recommendations were not science based Public health going down the pan in the US :/
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
Shortly after Trump met with Putin in Alaska, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard abruptly ousted a CIA expert who had helped brief Trump’s team in the lead-up to the meeting. By naming this person in a memo, Gabbard appears to have identified a CIA officer who was operating under cover.
Yes.
ICE agents in DC today appear to be focusing on the North Capitol Street corridor. One is wearing a Texas-themed hat and a “thin blue line” patch that says SEND ME. Again: Keep an eye out for an unmarked black Ford truck with the Texas plate NTV9211.
In Atlanta, staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gathered to applaud colleagues who resigned following the firing of Director Susan Monarez. With four top officials stepping down, many now feel that the CDC is effectively finished.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is asking a federal judge for a gag order against Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and their subordinates. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Just found this 2021 story about Galveston County TX police staking out a funeral, then pulling over at gunpoint a car that they assumed had gang members in it because it took too many turns onto side streets. Turn out, it wasn’t fleeing gang members but a guy who’d just buried his murdered brother.
The MAGA purge of the government has reached new heights. This time, it's Surface Transportation Board member Robert Primus, a Democrat who Trump himself first appointed to the railroad regulator board in 2020. Primus is at least the fourth top official fired this week. trib.al/rvMfCo5
Republican Congressman Barry Moore's constituents chant, "Who pays the tariffs?" at a town hall.
Yes, I've heard the only in "R" month thing, but not sure I would feel comfortable in September either. 😉
Sen. Patty Murray is calling for RFK Jr. to be fired. "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." "I hope my Republican colleagues who have come to regret their vote to confirm RFK Jr. will join me."
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just demanded a special Senate committee hearing on the crisis at the CDC, making RFK Jr testify under oath on the disaster he's created. Go Bernie!
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
A day after the latest mass shooting that killed two young children, the Supreme Court has been asked to overturn Illinois' AR-15 ban @courthousenews.bsky.social
Kim Jong-un will visit Beijing next week to attend a military parade. There, he will also meet with Putin and Xi.
Did they ever figure out who destroyed them? (BTW, I had no idea you were a Georgian!)
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
He adds: "I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us."
Hormel also laid off 135 people at their plant in Tucker, GA www.fox5atlanta.com/news/hormel-...
Seems like the kind of thing federal agents could handle if they weren’t busy tracking down America’s most wanted DoorDash delivery drivers in DC.
Can we also highlight that mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother? So, he is also blaming women for the problem.
