When "owning the libs" goes bad.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
I hope he feels like total shit and is having a miserable day.
Random thought: Our mass shooting problem has two elements: Assault weapons, and butt hurt men. If they won’t allow us to regular the guns, maybe we need to regulate the men. Aggressive and unregulated men cause like 90% of all crime on planet earth. Just sayin….
I don't *think* this is what's going on, but we should at least be aware that close to death rumors can be useful if you need a strong man saved by God moment to buck up flagging poll numbers.
Mike Johnson refuses to put up a plaque honoring Capitol Police’s sacrifice on Jan. 6. Yet, Ashley Babbit’s family gets a $5M settlement & a full military honors funeral for her being part of a riotous mob trying to break into the House chamber. This country’s so fuct thanks to GOP enablers.
1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
Almost like a “fighting fire with fire“ I guess. I’ve experienced a malignant narcissist for over 30 years of my life, this kind of shit eats him up.
I’m just so grateful that they’re doing this to shake up that normalcy that seemed to be taking a route. It doesn’t make me wanna vote for Newsom for president. But I am fucking glad that it pisses off the other side to see how stupid it is.
The point is the trolling. This kind of crap shouldn’t exist on any fucking political spectrum because it’s just too fucking ridiculous. But MAGA has eaten it up and it’s become something of a norm. To do this on the other side, shows them the ridiculousness of it. It’s trolling, not a statement.
I’ve heard of this before. Please overlook my ignorance of knowing absolutely nothing about the generation of AI, but genuinely curious how does it use water to work?
If you needed any more reasons to hate Kyrsten Sinema:
Today's a federal holiday because on the eve of the 20th century machinists, carpenters, and people who worked in mills, mines, and factories joined together to fight for better wages and a day to honor working people. If you're enjoying the holiday today, thank the labor movement.
When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
Just sayin’.
Trump continues to pursue an imperial presidency. Here's what you need to know to be ready to follow events in court this week: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Nine former CDC directors warn RFK Jr. is endangering public health amid a measles surge. He fired Susan Monarez, replaced experts with loyalists, and cut vaccine programs. They urge Congress and medical groups to protect science.
The National Guardners
Them too?
Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!
And he’s been riding that shit ever since.
And that he kept attacking Ruby and Shaye after he lost court case after court case. How that man has a cent left to his name I don’t know how he got out of that one. However, I do hope that Ruby and Shaye are living in the lap of fucking luxury right now.
All of Giuliani’s life events that I know about hit like season ending cliffhangers where you’re like ‘How’s he gonna get outta this one?’ People forget that Four Seasons Landscaping debacle was All Him, which is understandable because he also committed actual sexual harassment in a Borat movie.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
Gavin Newsom on Donald Trump: “He continues to lose. His polls are some of the worst in American history. His policies are the most unpopular in modern American history. He’s flailing every single day. He’s falling apart.”
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/tragedy-br...
AP: “Florida could be on the hook for $218 million… Alligator Alcatraz may soon be completely empty as a judge upheld her decision late Wednesday ordering operations to wind down indefinitely…” apnews.com/article/flor...

These shit stains need to go.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Texas AG Partizan Attack On Beto Ken Paxton threatens to arrest Beto O'Rourke for fighting the illegal gerrymander of five congressional seats. Speech is no longer Free in Texas! open.substack.com/pub/betoorou...
If he DOES come back for a press briefing, first question should be EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN. And as a follow up, EPSTEIN.
Rudy Giuliani suffered severe injuries in a car accident last night, according to his spokesperson
Is a President Vance going to be any better?
"Nancy Mace Says She’s Looking Forward to Watching ‘Soldiers’ March into Chicago" Again we are war. Mace does not want to protect the Democrats in Chicago-she wants to oppress them. She is from the former Confederate state of South Carolina. www.mediaite.com/politics/nan...
Brilliant
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
You need a really good Indica.
Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident. I hope he gets the same expert medical care that he would wish for a disabled transgender immigrant.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
YES! Thank you... Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". - seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951.
Wait! I thought Trump was supposed to be “ending homelessness.” HUD just announced a nationwide audit of Section 8 “citizen status.” Mixed-status families could lose rental assistance, even when kids are U.S. citizens. Families including children could be thrown into eviction & face homelessness.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. 🚨 NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trump’s federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in 🧵
My name is Graham Platner. I'm the oysterman and Marine veteran running against Susan Collins. In 10 days we raised $1 million and signed up 3,000 volunteers. Please share this. Spread the word. Help us build something strong enough to defeat the billionaire class.a
Two psychologists have warned that Trump shows signs of dementia—specifically frontotemporal dementia, linked to deteriorating psychomotor functioning. The blurry photos released today do nothing to dispel the growing speculation that something is seriously wrong with Trump.
I also miss things that aren't actually gone, such as my mother's face when she hides it behind her hands
This is phenomenal messaging. Hello Democrats? Knock knock, anybody home?
Our news media are so broken. There's a way to challenge someone in an interview without looking like you're the press secretary for the other side. ABC's Martha Raddatz badly misses the mark. "Why fight with the president?" she asks.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.

A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Oh
This is never going away, is it?
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
There’s a word for that: corruption.
More and more farms all over the country are collapsing and failing because of labor shortages. This is going to hit our shelves very soon. Not high prices. Absence of food.
schrodinger's president
Zoom in on his thumb.
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
Leavitt elevates Benny Johnson despite a record of plagiarism, false crime stories, and paid work tied to a Kremlin influence shop. NYT finds no murders on his block, no house arson. Critics argue that the White House prioritizes propaganda over press access.
And the reality is, that Melanoma knew nothing about it, and it was written by someone on her PR team. She was too busy with her boyfriends dick in her mouth.
DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. And now a Social Security Administration whistleblower is resigning after apparently being punished for trying to warn the public. Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."
Who the fuck tunes into this shit other than to report about the shock jock value of all of this crap. There’s nothing informative. There’s no good debate. It’s all junk food on steroids. Why do people tune in? Addiction?
This must be what it was like to scour for clues that Paul was dead.
Joe Biden outliving him would be objectively hilarious.
Look forward to Stephen Miller's criminal trial and then life in prison for crimes against humanity
Chris Murphy: "First of all, no one is attacking prayer. Prayer is important." Prayer is wishing, hoping and handing off responsibility to a deity who doesn't exist while taking no responsibility or action for human made problems. I wish humanity could free itself from this delusion. It hobbles us
Chicago keeping art alive:
Well, there’s always heat stroke.
@LePapillonBlu2 Maya We are living in the dumbest timeline in human history. 😳
Oh, looks like Eloy made a limo version of the cyber truck!
If he is dying, I hope it hurts, and I hope he's scared.
Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.
