Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Extremely funny that the NYT said people don’t need to vandalize to get attention, two days before totally ignoring massive peaceful Labor Day protests
My Audition for ICE 😂
Spot on!
He really, really, really cares about the children, and people in general, don’t you think? ALL is actions point to that🙄
This is great

Trump isn’t doing any of this by himself. Hold every Republican accountable for every horrible action being done by this government
The American Medical Association, led by a dr w a collection of 86 cars, is hesitant to speak out against RFKJr because of reimbursement rates.
No, he’s not
What horrible people
ICE GOONS Hog-Tying and kidnapping a landscaper.
Don’t look away
I really hate what is happening in our country. It is nauseating that anyone approves of this
Molly O'Toole: "On way 1st day teaching journalism course on covering immigration, met by ICE in Mt.Pleasant at Lamont - agents appear to take father driving young daughter, likely to school. Agents shoving bystanders, daughter sobs it’s her fault-she’d seen car parked for 2hrs. Trump’s America"
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
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)
Let’s spin the wheel. Susan Collins is ‘extremely alarmed’ by the Trump administration’s firing of the CDC director.
It is past time for Schumer to retire
It is harder to imagine a worse President than Trump but a Vance Presidency would be horrible

Love Heather Cox Richardson
Hubert Humphrey would be proud
How does anyone think this won’t end badly?
I will contribute
If I was one of the other countries, I would be very hesitant to share w Tulsi Gabbard and Donald Trump
from the biggest public health association “RFK Jr. must be removed from his position.”
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
Ummmmmmmmmmmm
I’m once again asking the press corps to use the word illegal.

Susan Collins shamed at ribbon cutting ceremony for not having held a town hall in 20 years.

The Battle of DC (2025, Colourised)
Do something, you cowards.
Texas Republicans are pushing House Bill 25 to make ivermectin—a livestock dewormer with no FDA‑approved use for COVID—available OTC at the pharmacy counter. This is performative, dangerous pandering over public safety, trading science for political theater. Shame.
She really is clueless, isn’t she?
Newsrooms are willing participants. Jake Tapper and others suck up to the powers that be.
Yep.
And all of those soybean farmers voted for Trump and still support him.
I don’t know who to credit for the image
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

I just hope Susan Sarandon is happy
This gives me hope
Trump's allegations against Lisa Cook are not the story. The story is that a Trump loyalist is deeply corrupting agency processes for the express purpose of manufacturing pretexts for referring Trump's leading enemies for DOJ prosecution. Dug into this process here: newrepublic.com/article/1996...
It's been widely noted that Trump seems newly emboldened on many fronts. But another thing that makes this moment so ominous is that his accomplices at very senior levels *also* seem emboldened. Many of them seem arrogantly certain of never facing accountability. newrepublic.com/article/1996...
Our slide into authoritarian rule would not be possible without Trump's willing accomplices. William Pulte's corruption of the bureaucracy to single out the mortgages of Trump foes like Lisa Cook for "investigation" is the perfect example of this. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1996...

This wins the internet today. Rare that I literally LOL these days. Automatic follow.
Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”
Trump just did the one thing the Supreme Court said he can't do - Vox The Roberts court doesn’t care.

Newly released surveillance footage from Friday captures the moment federal agents encircled a man's work truck in San Bernardino while attempting to apprehend him. Cell phone footage recorded from inside the truck subsequently shows masked individuals breaking the driver and passenger windows.
"In Nazi Germany, it was the Reichstag fire that gave Hitler the pretext to create a police state. In America, it is Trump himself who plays the arsonist — igniting not one blaze but many, each fueled by crises of his own making."
Ravenel bridge. Charleston, SC. Actually, from the Mount Pleasant side…
Finally, a pol does the thing he promised voters! The pol is Trump. The thing is fascism. share.inquirer.com/Dc2keh
Congratulations, John Roberts. You did this.
Mississippi banned abortion and refused to expand Medicaid. This isn't complicated. This is a policy choice. 'Pro-life' politicians would rather babies die than their mothers receive health care. www.waaytv.com/news/nation-...
If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d 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.
Did he vote for Trump?

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 Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.
I genuinely wonder when Americanist political scientists will collectively admit the US has transitioned into autocracy. Scholars' pipelines of research are always set up long in advance, but it's still pretty surprising how little it seems to have budged
Meanwhile in Russia: state TV is openly mocking Trump by describing their bombing of a U.S.-owned Flex electronics factory as "destroying Western investments." Remember when Scott Bessent said that U.S. investments in Ukraine would serve as an "implicit" security guarantee?

Aren’t there plenty of feed stores in texas where people can get ivermectin?
We all know Chuck Todd would have sucked up to Kash Patel and not pushed back on any of his bullshit. So, spare me any take from him
Among the deported there were members of the Herrmann family: Julio (architect), Bela (co-owner of Weisz & Herrmann clothing manufacture), his son Vilim & his wife Edita. None of them survived.
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
ICE agents in Lynwood, CA tried to break into a barbershop without a warrant. When the owner refused to open the door, they threatened him: “I’m going to go get your dad and I’m going to get your mom!” Is this the America we want to live in?
Every member of the regime is a pathological liar. It’s a prerequisite.
Would This Supreme Court Ever Overturn Same-Sex Marriage? - New York Magazine Amazing that someone still thinks Roberts cares about the image of the court.
“Israel assassinated a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, a young man who had suddenly become the face and voice of the desperate people of his homeland, Gaza…The military made no attempt to obscure this brazen strike on civilians, which is a war crime.”
