BREAKING: Trump announces that Rudy Giuliani will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Note that Giuliani has been charged with felonies in two different states, including racketeering and has been found liable for over $100 million in damages.
"Every one of these people is taking with them skills and knowledge that will be difficult to replace. But there may be no single individual whose departure better captures what is being lost and destroyed than Demetre Daskalakis."
"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Russia, Russia, Russia!! HOAX!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Exactly. Keep the pressure on. Trump will not stick with anyone he thinks may be dragging him further down. That was the beginning of his distancing from Elon. Keep the pressure on. RFK must go.
FEMA is giving $110 million to faith-based organizations and schools for safety upgrades. Public schools get thoughts and prayers.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6t1B3aH/ Team TACO cutting funding to pediatric cancer research because of course…. Dimgbats think parents should pray the cancer away. Again, who wins in this scenario?
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
This is very strange, throwing bags out the window?
“…and all at once, summer collapsed into fall.” -Oscar Wilde #BlueSkyMonday #ocean #clouds #sky
The assault on black women in power by this regime must end! If Trump thinks he is going to bully and threaten this organization, he better think again! This pattern of abuse that is snaking through this country has gone on long enough!
*Trump* may not be canny enough to be *planning* to weaponize the government in a methodical way, but "there are people behind the scenes...and they know what they're doing." @radiofreetom.bsky.social talks Trump's abuses of power and more with @timmiller.bsky.social:
Johnson may have thought taking an early break would cover up the Epstein files but Massie and Khanna have enough votes for their discharge petition to overrule the speaker. They are coming back with a press conference on Wednesday that includes Epstein Victims. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news
Everyone in Trump’s inner circle knows Trump is not well and getting worse by the day. They are covering it up!
Chat is it good to wake up a judge at 2:30 am on a long weekend because you're flagrantly breaking the law and then ignoring the deadline she set
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
"That’s why it’s so hard to sell the lie that Trump doesn’t collude with Putin: He just goes out and does it again." ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-trum...
The plan is completely illegal; it’s openly in violation of black letter law. Nevertheless, the Trump admin is trying to claim that the budget bill effectively amended the law; even though it was a budget bill, and cannot by definition amend the law.
As Trump’s health declines, he seems completely preoccupied with his likelihood of reaching Heaven. Guess what, Donny? It’s too late for you. On the bright side, you’ll spend eternity with your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein.
Ethnic cleansing.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
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
BREAKING: Rudy Giuliani hospitalized with a broken back after serious car crash in New Hampshire.
This is the way
Child molester, drug user…only the best people for Trump🙄

Thank you, @srosnato.bsky.social ! Happy 😊 Sunday 💙💙
Happy Sunday!! Thank you!! #StrongerTogether
Trump’s Turd Reich wants you to not trust the educated experts; and to stay in school only long enough to learn how to work on an assembly line and operate the machines. Are we getting it yet?
Looking at Trump shuffling in his shower shoes and his radio silence makes one wonder if he really is ok
From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an “unannounced location” at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. “There was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,” the pool report states.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Are they actually sleeping on the job now? Spotted near a police station in the southeast. Washington, DC
Brandon just signed an executive order saying Chicago police with not collaborate with or aid federal troops if Trump sends them to Chicago. People can bash Brandon all they want, but when fascism arrives, you’ll wish you had someone covering your back. Newsom, Pritzker, and Brandon are doing it.
Trump plans to issue an executive order that does exactly nothing, because he has no authority to change state law.
Justice Cleo E. Powell is a remarkable trailblazer, who has devoted her career to justice and public service in Virginia. Now, she is the first Black woman to ever serve as Chief Justice in the history of the Supreme Court of Virginia. Congratulations, Chief Justice Powell!
KKKaroline Leavitt refers to Dr. Monarez as “Ms. Monarez.” For women with a doctoral degree (not an MD), this is extremely offensive coming from a woman whose biggest accomplishment seems to be suckling from the teat of a weird man-baby with cankles and horcrux hands. #sexism #tradidiots
Putin has not changed. In the last 25 years he started four wars. He can only be kept in check through strong deterrence. We must be precise and fast with the surge in our defence posture ↓ europa.eu/!wgH6QK
"Perhaps the most important thing to understand about Trump’s mobster state capitalism is that it isn’t about economic efficiency or stimulating growth, let alone a vision of how the economy works and what it should create. It’s about *power*, pure and simple."
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
This is why this vile evil bitch was initially sentenced to a high security prison.
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Conclusive proof thoughts and prayers don’t work: he’s fine.
With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
The Rev took attendance…
Gavin Newsom’s perfect response to Mike Johnson-👇
Or what they’re planning.
A telling-yet-overlooked moment this week. Trump wants to rebrand his budget bill because it is publicly polling (and privately, too, I would imagine) like a hot steaming pile of garbage. Our messaging around the 'Big Beautiful Bill' is working. Keep it up. www.msnbc.com/way-too-earl...

This is why the WH stopped posting transcripts on their website. Because when you read his actual words, he looks like a complete moron.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders has called for a special Senate committee hearing on the CDC crisis, demanding that RFK Jr. testify under oath about the disaster he’s created.
Calling all Swifties to urge Taylor to sue Meta and its techno-fascist billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, into oblivion.
BREAKING: Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office. “Something's wrong with this president!" Who agrees?
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Was rummaging through old articles and found this one of Demetre Daskalakis. Apparently, back in 2013, he went to New York City's gay sex clubs and bathhouses and administered meningitis vaccines and helped beat an outbreak.
This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history. Committed by a government against its own citizens. I don’t think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months. Era-defining.
“You cannot pretend as if he did not try and stay in power the last time he lost an election. That actually happened.” Abby Phillip & @mizzwelch.bsky.social refuse to let the Republicans on the panel pretend Trump is not a threat to our democracy. 🇺🇸
🚨🚨 JD Vance is allegedly “moving fast” behind the scenes to seize power as an aging Trump continues to brush off rumors that his health is slipping.
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
Macron on the deadline set for Putin to meet Zelensky: “If that doesn’t happen by Monday, the deadline set by President Trump, it means that once again President Putin played President Trump.” I think by now we all realize how compromised Trump is and that he actively works for Putin.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
The warmongering felon pedophile. There's a lot of military traffic into San Juan, Puerto Rico on FlightRadar. Wouldn't be surprised if there's even more covertly coming in.
What a petty little man 🙄
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.
“When you cut those services, you have a lot of downstream impacts, and that’s going to include upticks in emergency department visits, hospitalization needs, incarceration and in homelessness." Trump's speeches on homelessness drip with fear and disgust. His policies are worse.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
Yep, inflation’s on the rise again. Must be all that ‘winning’ we were promised. I’m definitely feeling it in my wallet. Are you?
Nah, it’s not concerning at all that the President of the United States is decomposing in front of our very eyes and the butcher boy puppet of the tech oligarchs who are already carrying out a coup is sharpening his knives. Totally great, not at all concerning state of affairs.
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
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.
He’s trying to steal an American election for the second time. Actually, considering his welcome to Russian interference in 2016, I should say the third time.
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family's ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.
The new acting head of the CDC is not a doctor, has no public health experience, and is connected to and sponsored by Peter Thiel. What could go wrong!
NEWS: A federal judge just BLOCKED Kari Lake from ousting VOA Director Michael Abramowitz, saying that Abramowitz can only be removed by a majority vote of the VOA’s advisory board — which Trump fired. Trump will have to replace the board members before Abramowitz goes anywhere.
"It's further eroding...the credibility of those who are in leadership positions in our military, that they would allow full military honors to someone who lost their life while committing the act of sedition." Michael Fanone discusses Ashli Babbitt with JVL:
Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!
Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.
Thousands of DC residents chanting “fuck Jeff Bezos” outside of the P Street Whole Foods
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
In the first year of Trump’s first term, his HHS Secretary had to resign in September because he spent too much money on private jets. I’d imagine that destroying the CDC might cost more?
