🚨We🚨Must🚨Not🚨Allow🚨Brutalization🚨Of🚨Protesters🚨To🚨Be🚨Normalized!!!
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.
So, terrorist Russia, in its escalation, is suspected of GPS jamming the plane carrying the EU chief.
Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."
Happening Now — Washington DC: Pretty massive rally is forming at 14th and U NW.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Good for them. I will be listening. I hope the orange felon and his minions do so as well.
The six reliably pro-Trump justices are "racking up a rap sheet of constitutional abuses of staggering import." ICYMI Philip Allen Lacovara on the coming judgment of history:
Something press pool could ask about
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.
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Hey! Just icymi: FEMA is now evicting THOUSANDS of Hurricane Helene survivors Our government hates us. And millions voted for this degree of brutality and cruelty. Why?
RFK Jr. kept a journal describing his multiple affairs with other women where his wife found it and soon after she killed herself. Caroline Kennedy wrote a public letter about RFK, Jr., the heroin addict, introducing drugs to his younger cousins and siblings (his younger brother overdosed and died)
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.

California stepping up.
Seen on my run in Rock Creek Park today. Parking lot near Beach and Tilden. Paper taped on over a Harris 2024 sign.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
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?
“'ILLEGALS' my ass.” Rami Othmane has a green card and is married to Dr. Wafaa Alrashid, a hospital chief of staff. Despite having legal residency, ICE detained him for 13 days after grabbing him during a grocery run. This injustice cuts deeper than words.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
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."
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
My Republican State Representative, Jeff Farnan, voted to sign away earned sick time after it passed by nearly 58%. He doesn’t care about the will of Missouri voters.
You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".
During a phone call, Donald Trump hinted to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he should nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, as Pakistan had done. Modi sharply rejected the idea, stating that the ceasefire with Islamabad was achieved without U.S. involvement.
This refusal marked a turning point in relations: Washington imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods, while in India, Trump was openly called a "traitor" and his effigy was burned at a festival. - NYT
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told

“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.
Birmingham, Michigan SHOWED up to where Mike Johnson was staying. Looks like he isn't getting much sleep.....‼️ KEEP IT UP FOR AMERICA FOR FREEDOM FOR OUR CHILDREN and their children‼️ #democracywins

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.
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...
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Gavin Newsom’s perfect response to Mike Johnson-👇
“Do you guys feel bad about what you’re doing? Don’t you f*cking hate yourselves?”
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Joni Ernst isn't seeking reelection in 2026. Time to FLIP IOWA BLUE!!!!!! www-cbsnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.cbsn...
Exactly the same.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
The Veteran Sit in at Union Station in DC is working.👇🏼 The National Guard has been there every single day until today after the amazing and knowledgeable Vets spoke to the Guard about what they were doing there and how they had a choice to leave if they don’t agree with it!
"People" who choose to be in ICE should have no peace in public. Ever. Shame them. Shame their families. There is no excuse for participating in these gestapo activities. Gifted article www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u... #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
This cannot stand. The animals are outside the cage.
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
SPEAKER MIKE “HOOKED ON PORN” JOHNSON SAID I, GAVIN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS NEWSOM BUILDER OF THE BEST MAPS, SHOULD FOCUS ON GOVERNING MY STATE. LETS NOT FORGET “MAGIC MIKE” SHUT DOWN THE HOUSE AND WENT ON EARLY RECESS BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF THE VOTE ON RELEASING THE ESPTEIN FILES! - GCN

Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
Immigration cops arrested & detained two firefighters while they were actually battling a wildfire. Hey 2026 American voter, is this what you want America to be?👇
Don’t look away
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Two firefighters who were fighting the Bear Gulch wildfire in the state of Washington were arrested by ICE agents on Wednesday.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Who GAF about Cracker Barrel? If a low-end pretend diner chain restaurant with mediocre food and service defines your culture, many people are saying you are in a very sad state and you should reevaluate your life choices.
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 )
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Just in case you forgot…
Trump's approval is cratering: Approve - 37% Disapprove - 55% More specifically... TARIFFS Approve - 38% Disapprove - 56% ECONOMY Approve - 39% Disapprove - 52% CRIME Approve - 42% Disapprove - 54% RUSSIA/UKRAINE Approve - 40% Disapprove - 52% poll.qu.edu/poll-release...
I did promise that Republican states that capitulate to Trump's demands to illegally gerrymander their maps will be sued. And history shows I never bluff and usually win. I also said that there are only two types of GOP officials -- proud MAGA and scared MAGA. That is true.
New in PN: Trump's flag burning executive order flames out "This is a blatant attempt to transform protected speech into criminal conduct, despite decades of SCOTUS precedent barring just that. And it was immediately challenged by a veteran who set fire to an American flag just across from the WH."
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
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.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
"My friend Victor like saved me though, because he laid on top of me. But he got hit." 10-year-old describes witnessing Minneapolis shooting.
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."
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict

If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.

If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how they’ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament — turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.
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:

Using dedicated state funding and new laws for fighting organized retail theft, local officials just took down a MAJOR crime ring in Southern California. Proud of the progress being made on public safety by our local partners across the state, including the Ventura County Sheriff.
Exactly. IDGAF about anything to do with Cracker Barrel. Most people don’t. But maga media gets all these idiots in a frenzy about these “culture war” issues. Propaganda works on the stupid. And, worse yet, mainstream media is now reinforcing maga media by acknowledging their BS.
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
DOGE put the personal data of millions of Americans — including Social Security numbers — on a vulnerable server in June, according to a new whistleblower complaint. The report alleges that the actions of DOGE staffers "constitute violations of laws, rules, and regulations, abuse of authority."
The felon's spent 25% of his term & $77,000,000 of our money golfing.
