Longtime NYC Rep. Jerry Nadler tells the NYT he's retiring. “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Mr. Nadler said, adding that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”
Whoa.

Many states don’t let you get a COVID vaccine without a prescription as they had existing laws that tied access to official CDC approval. This made sense as a safety measure, but now the CDC has been taken over by antivaxxers, several states are rightfully modifying these laws to reinstate access.

I am so sorry for your loss. For Ukraine’s loss.
Does his mouth usually gape like that? He looks bad!
Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan in D.C. convened an emergency hearing on Sunday and ordered the operation to stop.The court made it clear— >> No child can be removed without proper legal process. >>The government must return the children to shelters, and deportations are suspended until further hearings.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
More eugenics from fascists.
I still think Trump had surgery of some kind and they're keeping him away from cameras
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
Slashing funding and jacking up prices for food, farmers, and families is cruel — THIS is the kind of pain Jack endorses. www.nj.com/food/2025/08...
Judge Blocks Flights Sending Hundreds of Children Back To Guatemala “It is a dark & dangerous moment for this country when (Trump) chooses to target orphaned 10-year-olds and deny them their basic legal right to present their case before a judge” www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
USA. Since Josh Marshall put a Twitter list together of people to follow soon after the invasion.
Thank you!
"If you have people coming in — military, ICE, whoever it is — acting beyond their legal authority they can be prosecuted, assuming they commit crimes, in state court." "And they cannot be pardoned by the president..”
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.
Source please?
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.
The fossil lobby’s last gasp is loud—but futile. Batteries & solar → fastest-growing energy in history. EVs? 3m in 2020 → 21m in 2025. The tide isn’t turning back—math, markets & machines are unstoppable. The future isn’t fire, it’s electrons. Ignore the noise, follow the facts. #EnergyTransition
“Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight”
CHICAGO…
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Promise tariffs ⟶ faff around ⟶ announce tariffs ⟶ pause tariffs ⟶ promise deals ⟶ court rules tariffs illegal ⟶ appeal ⟶ court order stayed ⟶ make no deals ⟶ 90 days expires ⟶ delay tariffs again ⟶ announce tariffs again ⟶ appeals court rules tariffs illegal again ⟶ you are here
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Former Speaker of Ukraine’s parliament Andriy Parubiy was fatally shot in Lviv by an assassin disguised as a courier. Parubiy previously survived a grenade attack in 2014, when he led Maidan revolutionaries' self-defense. He was an Orange Revolution leader too. www.kommersant.ru/doc/8005761?...
Frankly I’m surprised more comparativists aren’t saying, “Aw that’s so cute. America’s having its first little premature rumor and speculation frenzy about the autocrat’s death after his public absence for a brief period” (common in authoritarian regimes)
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
okay my friend in the White House press pool says he’s going golfing today, everyone stand down, good practice run great job team we can get a few more drills in before the big day
“Pritzker’s health department in Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers in response to the mess in Washington, a senior Illinois health official confirms” This is the way! #SoftSecession newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Whatever it costs blue states should be withheld from state tax $$$ sent to Washington. #SoftSecession
Trump is taking away health coverage from more than 14 million Americans by sending their health insurance premiums through the roof and adding layers and layers of often impossible paperwork. Slashing Medicaid and gutting Obamacare.
Oh man… this is hysterical. Canada is giving Gavin Newsom a free plane? 😂😅🤣
“I think that’s wholly appropriate and certainly comports with my understanding of the law,” said C. Fred Bergsten, who helped negotiate IEEPA in the 1970s, “and hopefully it will excise lots of the damage that his tariffs have done.”
i don't think it's happening yet, but no one in the press corpse having seen trump for two days and him not even playing golf this weekend is... a little exciting
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...
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.
ATLANTA: “The city is opening a grocery store to clear up a downtown food desert… City leaders say the market will help those in the area who have not previously had easy access to healthy food.” (cc: everyone acting like @ZohranKMamdani is crazy🤔) www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...
you mean "we're all going to die" wasn't polling well?
You love to see it. A Democratic populist!
Good ad! Very concerning for Susan Collins.
If Iowa is “waking up” to Trump’s faux populism, is that happening in other states too?
NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...
“I’m seeing CDC being transformed into a weapon.” RFK Jr. is a eugenicist.

I can't even screenshot it--the entire letter is worth a full read. And I will say it again--our state public health agencies really need to step up now & fight against RFKJ's harmful extremist policies: open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...
They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.
You’re showing them how, James!
Ha!
Important clarification, multiple CDC sources tell me: Federal employees are not allowed to strike/walk out, so this is *not* a walkout but a "clap out" to show support for departing leadership. Current employees were either given permission to attend by a supervisor or used leave time to attend.
To hell.
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
Tell me this doesn’t invite criminals to kidnap people off the street to in order to harvest* their organs for sale.
Holy effing shit!
Republicans all say this when confronted by their own constituents: “the event had been ‘hijacked’ by organized activists who ‘were just trying to get a check from Soros.’”
Democrats need to extract BIG concessions with water tight guarantees from Republicans or else.
I think this debate is really welcome. Two things I haven't seen. First, there is a VERY high likelihood of multiple predictable catastrophes: financial, health, extreme weather, supply chain. What happens when those catastrophes hit? In both 2008 and 2020, the GOP needed Dems to bail them out.
Matty has really jumped the shark on this one. Just NO!
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
Trump was NEVER going to end the war in Ukraine. He was never going to stand up to Putin.
Democrats are up 3.5 points in our average of U.S. House generic ballot polls. That would be enough to overcome the effects of additional partisan gerrymandering in red states www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data
Every Trump invasion is an attack on a Black City. Pay attention.
American innovation and competitiveness are being destroyed by numb extremists. Our scientists are speaking up.

Case study: Erdogan replaced technocrats with loyalists and kept rates low when they needed to rise. Inflation soared to 86%, and is still painfully high. That’s the playbook Trump's floating. Keep the Fed independent if you want low inflation without the drama.
According to Gun Violence Archive, out of 4,600 mass shootings in the United States since 2014: 👉 0.13% involved transgender people 👉 100% involved firearms
Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
“Almost immediately after Dr Monarez's departure was first announced by the health department, at least three senior CDC leaders resigned from the agency.”
Agree 💯
Trump got busted for trying to follow the FSB book in Greenland
I found them entertaining until a little over a year ago. I won’t listen to or watch them ever again.
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
1) This dangerous lunatic is spouting Naomi Wolf-like woo-woo bullshit. 2) A president in his right mind would fire this dangerous lunatic. 3) A non-chickenshit Congress would impeach and remove this dangerous lunatic. 4) Instead, this dangerous lunatic is attacking the CDC. Right now. Tonight.
It’s a sickness.
FDA approved new COVID vaccines today, then limited who can get them. Kids 18 & under require doctor recommendation. 65+ eligible for any COVID vaccine. 18-65 and healthy? Tough luck. You gotta have at least 2 comorbidities to qualify. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it. My full statement.
COVID cases are on the rise -- and RFK just took away the ability for millions of Americans get COVID vaccines. COVID shots are now only FDA approved for 1) people 65+ and 2) people w/ underlying conditions that put them at severe risk. That's it. www.huffpost.com/entry/covid-...
Clean, cheap, abundant renewables are the key to Africa’s future—and the continent knows it. 🌍☀️ Solar imports surged +60% in 12 months, with 20 nations driving the boom. Algeria soared with a 33-fold jump. From South Africa to the Sahel, a pan-African solar revolution is on. 📈⚡ #EnergyTransition
OMG!
Utility costs are crushing New Jersey families right now, while utility companies have seen record profits. I'm going to freeze utility costs, rapidly build new energy, and take on anyone driving up costs for New Jerseyans.

Reup: One thing many are missing abt Social Security whistleblower complaint is this: DOGE--including Big Balls, who has ties to criminal hackers--put ALL American Social Security data on an insecure AWS site AFTER SCOTUS GOPers intervened and let them do that. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
