That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

Sounds like it leaves it open to falsely accuse some and not others.
I really hope history gets it right and names Pritzker as one of a few who stood up to this effing dictatorship.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
Elon admitted to rigging the election. He’s stated the “administration” is illegitimate. Yet NO ONE wants to follow up on that?? I’m in the MUTHAFUKKKIN TWILIGHT ZONE.
Trump is really tough on crime, folks. So tough. That he allows Ghislaine Maxwell, a pedophile, to move to a minimum security camp and an Israeli official, arrested for trying to have sex with a minor, to flee to Israel. Any questions about this?
What happened to that thing above his eye? Or were they just testing out body doubles? bsky.app/profile/cweb...
He hit the talking points but it’s very flat like he doesn’t believe it just naming them. So either it’s not even him or he’s actually on his way…
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
I have no idea what the OP’s post is about but your comment remains true under any circumstance until the end of time.
3 things I’ve learned from the “American Experiment” : People of different ideologies cannot co-exist. There are truly evil people who are evil for the sake of being evil. In general, wealthy people are some of the most unhappy people in the world. (I still have hope for the first one though)
Since when does he have a pug nose?
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
Verified. Press Conference scheduled in DC to draw attention to legislation that would force the public release of the government’s full records related to Epstein. Sept. 3rd, 10:30 a.m. EST
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Oh damn. Or this could even all be a ruse as well to suddenly appear alive and well on Wednesday. That would also steal the thunder.
There is no way in hell they’re going to tell us if / when he’s gone. They will keep it a secret for as long as they can whether it because they’re scrambling or whether it’s to get ahead on their “plan” whatever the hell that plan is.
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
I’m liking Gilbert’s energy and enthusiasm. Triples don’t hurt either! #SFGiants
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

She sounds calmer than normal. Is she in mourning?
About 70,000,000 of them are. Give or take.
He’s commenting on the CDC and Kennedy? His expertise is in torturing brown people. This is them giving him a more visable platform to speak on things so that when 🌮 is gone the cult will listen to him.
ICE detain man who is legally in U.S.—son of a decorated military veteran. "As a granddaughter of a Master Sergeant veteran," she said. "I never believed my home would be at risk in the country my family fought for." He is living in U.S. legally—and has never commit a crime. Dallas, Texas.
Oh
You may already be aware of this. If so...it's good reinforcement: The President of Portugal branded Trump a RUSSIAN ASSET. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t even matter; what matters is this: world leaders see Trump as weak...compromised...and beneath respect.
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Yep. He may be in charge but he’s not the one giving the orders. Too many acting like when he’s gone everything will be better or we can go back to normal. Normal is gone. We’re never going back to normal. “Normal” was a false sense of security.
Please stop using the term “would be” he IS a dictator.
Don’t look away
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
I’m still getting told that. The amount of people I know who hate that MFer but are still clueless about the reality of what’s happening is astounding.
Science: Trump supporters are assholes.
All attention on Missouri now. Texas was just the beginning if you are an activist in Missouri, get ready all eyes are gonna be on you. You got this! Make us proud! www.kcur.org/politics-ele...
This notion that Republicans are coasting right now and the wind is beneath the sails of Donald Trump is just not true. Joni Ernst is not going to run for reelection in Iowa. There was a special election in Iowa earlier this week and the Democrats have now broken the Republican super majority.

I have a column on this going up in the morning, but I'm telling you folks, there's an immediate need for people to light up lawmakers' phones and clang pots and pans and protest and do whatever the hell can be done to get RFK Jr. booted, or at least constrained. This is a five-alarm fire.
#SFGiants sweep the Cubs!!! Holy Moly!!
Again: Faith leaders *themselves* have long also criticized "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric — including leader's Leavitt's own Catholic tradition. Here are some examples from the past 24 hours, including a statement from Sisters of Mercy of the Americas (Catholic nuns) on the shooting.

Oh my wow!!! Devers!!! #SFGiants
The elders are calling bullshit, but the representatives aren’t listening. I feel the aggravation in that room. As though this government was hellbent on causing our elders to go into early graves.
It’s official. September 6th. From all across this nation. We march in D.C. Join us.

BREAKING: Denmark summons top U.S. diplomat after the national broadcaster reported that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland.

Shasta County's "film everything" election plan is making voters nervous, according to a survey. Apparently, surveillance just *inspires* confidence. New election official Clint Curtis responds.
Afraid of big cities? Then don’t come. ❤️ this video.
He’s such a fucking traitor to the free world.
He’s become more vocal laying the groundwork so that MAGA will listen to him.
Too many are so sure that maga won’t get behind Vance. Please name me one thing that they haven’t gotten behind. For years we’ve been saying “just wait…” as if that red line is coming. There is no red line. Do Democrats have a plan?
I don't know if Trump is dying. He certainly seems like he's literally falling apart. What I do know is that whether he lives or not, we have to form together a democratic movement that fights fascism while coalescing around a plan to solve the problems that got him elected in the first place.
If Trump dies he dies, but that won't solve the maelstrom of crises that brought us to this point. The only thing that will is creating a movement that fights corruption, addresses wealth inequality, reinvigorates basic human decency and interconnectedness, and pushes for a more human future.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
It’s so funny (odd) to me the way cult thinks MSM truly hates him, because that’s what they’re told. If they only knew.
This is why I can’t quit the internet🤣🤣🤣
#SFGiants are playing back to the “before Devers” era.
Love it. Don’t see too many Padres caps in the wild.

Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
They’re going go to say it was from complications from a bullet to his ear.

Oh by the way, Padres are in first place! #SFGiants #BeatLA
Did that really happen?? #SFGiants
SCHMITTY!!! #SFGiants
Haha he did say that, didn’t he.
Call in the National Guard to help the residents of Charleston. Oh, wait. South Carolina’s governor sent them to DC for Trump’s occupation.
"Trump’s audience are his supporters mostly living in suburbs, exurbs, and rural areas. He’s priming them to accept outright war against US cities. In this case, it might be as simple as 'they hate us for our freedoms.'" — @playtyperguy.com
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
Am I the only one who read that as “butt” hole.

The thing is, when it happens I’m sure they have some kind of plan. Do the Democrats have a plan? I wonder.
www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/u...
Yes because they’re going in to crack down on crime. AKA illegals . AKA brown people. The brainwashing part has already been done.
Why are we calling him a “wannabe” dictator? I sure as hell don’t see anyone stopping him.

Padres have a chance to take first place. I’m all for that. #BeatLA
Question: if Dems run in Red districts, can they not win? Should we not promote Dems running in all Red districts in case GOP don’t want what the GOP are shoveling out?
