Senator/Doctor Roger Marshall of Kansas deserves just as much blame. As does Representative/Doctor Neal Dunn in the House for never saying a word against RFK, Jr.

Oh, I know, but he's a one-trick pony, so I'm guessing he'll go with "stolen election, can't trust the Colorado votes", and the bought/credulous MSM will 'hear him out', pressuring Democrats to prove that he's wrong. đ«€
The stupidest people end up getting elected.
What if his actual intention is to discredit the Colorado results, afterwards? Set it up now with demands. Then, when his demands are not followed, it is illegitimate and should not be counted.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
Ex-Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, injured on Jan. 6, blasted the military honoring Ashli Babbitt, calling her a âtraitor.â Pardoned rioter Ryan Nichols shot back, âSo are you⊠we should have went harder,â prompting Gonell to note Nichols once pled for leniency www.rawstory.com/trump-maga-c...
Just a reminder - h/t to fmr. Rep. @denverr.bsky.social (R-VA05) - that the "mainstream" political media is completely, disastrously broken. Also, Dems should NOT play their games. bluevirginia.us/2025/08/sund...
I love a good kielbasa and kraut sub.
I opened for B-acts.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
I love Sean Murphy but he should not DH for the rest of the year. Marcell Ozuna is a better bat, currently, from the right side. #Braves #MLB âŸïž
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Oh
DOGE wasnât 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.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
@ox.ac.uk scientists have developed a breakthrough food supplement that could help save #honeybees from devastating declines. By engineering yeast to produce six essential sterols found in pollen, researchers provided #bees with a nutritionally complete diet that boosted reproduction up to 15-fold.
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book⊠the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
Donald McPherson, one of the last surviving combat aces from World War II, took down five Japanese aircraft and helped save a destroyer during the Battle of Okinawa. He has died at 103.
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
No, he is destroying D.C. businesses, especially restaurants. And you have U.S. military working as janitors, pulling them from their jobs and families for a cheap, dangerous photo op.
On the way the Right has responded to the shooting in Minnesota (and all of them really)
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...
Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is not seeking reelection in 2026: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p... Iowa swung hard to the right starting in 2016, but the 3 special elections that have happened in Iowa so far in 2025 have swung toward Dems by 22, 24, & 26 percentage points. Two seats have flipped blue.
NEW: A federal judge ordered an Arkansas school district to take down Ten Commandments displays in its classrooms following our lawsuit.
More retirement news: Conservative Wisconsin justice Rebecca Bradley will NOT seek reelection next spring. Liberals (as you all know now) have a 4-3 majority on this high-stakes supreme court. This is their shot to go up 5-2, in April.
Is this to make way for Grassley's grandson?
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
This is good to an extent, but I wish Berman was a little quicker on his feet, like: "Polls are manipulated? You just told our viewers that individually, voters like each part of the bill. Where are you getting that info? From polls?" Can't let them slip lies/slurs into the broadcast unchallenged.
That's an eye-opening stat. A casualty of Long Ball Fever.
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
This should be headline news - the implications are horrifying âŠ
"essentially trying to say" đ
I can't believe how good he is starting to look already. One of the kindest and most gentle dogs we've ever had.
Have you tried a Furminator?
I just finally started watching this series this past week and have been floored by the Trump storyline similarities.
If no one in the 4 years of a Biden-controlled DoJ made a copy of the #EpsteinFiles, that is political malpractice.
Yeah, but Schwarber just couldn't hit Vidal BrujĂĄn, Ace Closer.
70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history â no matter how painful the chapter. We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.
Did you increase your spending last month? No? Me neither. That isn't anecdotal. The underlying numbers don't support this. The source here is the commerce department. I no longer trust the numbers coming out of this regime. I call bullshit! www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/u...
Marc Short is wrong. A few Republican House members could stop him at any time.
I read that YouTube TV may drop FoxNews over a carriage dispute. I think it would be a smart business move for one of these cable alternatives to offer a FoxNews-free option, for a lower price. It would reduce their reach.
Utah? đ€
True story! @newsonpressoffice.bsky.social
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Spoiler: Newsom doesn't reveal what a single foreign leader told him. Even anonymously.
OPINION | The speculation surrounding the presidentâs health has gotten grizzlier and grizzlier, and it gives off an uncomfortable vibe that is very much like that old Soviet joke.
So we saw right-wing media and dark money groups start messaging out bullshit like: - COVID is not really a huge deal - Deaths are overcounted - Best to pursue herd immunity through mass infection - COVID mitigation measures are an assault on personal liberty - School closures are irreparable harm.
And if you donât want anything to interfere with business, well, the only thing to do is end the crisisâat least the publicâs perception that there is one.
If youâre the side of: - capital interests - wealth as an indicator of virtue/the value of oneâs societal contributions - free markets - âThe nine most terrifying words in the English language are âIâm from the government and Iâm here to helpââ âŠyouâre fucked. COVID just exposed you entirely.
The COVID-19 pandemic undermined the right in several key ways: 1) It showed us which workers are essential and empowered them. 2) It showed that the markets canât solve everything. 2) It threatened GOP political prospects in a critical election. 4) Government relief proved popular and effective
Just tried watching Ezra Kleinâs latest NYT podcast episode on how the U.S. got to this point where vaccines are so politicized. Itâs pretty clear that Klein and his guestsâDavid Wallace Wells and Rachael Bedardâreally do not understand why/how the political right turned on vaccines.
I'll bet a Democrat files RFK Jr impeachment articles when the House returns to session (August 29). At that point it will be a matter of the caucus and leadership supporting it
After torturing, dismembering and murdering 7 Ukrainian prisoners of war and dumping them in the pit, the Russian fascists slit the throat of the 8th and final Ukrainian soldier. Vladyslav survived by crawling for 5 days to Ukraine-controlled territory. kyivindependent.com/ukrainian-so...
This is very good, I think it's the right kind of encouragement -- recognizing that part of Trump's fascist project is pure psychological warfare DESIGNED to wear you down emotionally
He's all tough talk, then doing as he is told when it comes time to the actual voting.

He has a vote. And withholding that vote will definitely get Trump's attention. Alford is either too scared or too bought to cast a protest vote.
They should arrest anyone in the country illegally and ship them off to a secret prison in Africa. Sound familiar?
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...
Itâs continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.

Two times America and Americaâs MSM could have had a âboring pantsuit ladyâ and both times rejected that for this:

âHe loved his work deeplyâ: the five Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza airstrike
Maybe we shouldnât let someone who doesnât believe in germs and who thinks itâs okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
That could get me to sign up for YouTube TV.
Stuart Stevens on National Guard deployment: "The murder rate of Jackson, Mississippi is 3 times that of D.C.... the whole thing is complete fraud"
It wasn't an accident. He stopped on an interstate to make an illegal turn. He didn't accidentally apply his brakes, dope.
Alabamaâs murder rate is double Los Angelesâ. Donât expect Fox News to cover that.
This is your Democratic campaign message for 2026
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape peopleâs reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need more people marching in the streets."
Take care of yourself mentally and emotionally, Niall. This is difficult stuff to process and deal with. You have the support of millions of people behind you. â€ïžâđ©č
I spotted this dog in Delhi, India at the weekend out of the corner of my eye. He was being beaten. Luckily we got him to safety. His recovery has started
not for nothing but the real reason we have had 7 IRS Commissoners this year is Trump hasn't found his Bill Pulte yet
Why are they supporting him?
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crowâs yacht
I want a poor excuse for a human being. đđ
What you missed overnight night.đ„ł Utah's gerrymandered congressional map was struck down. The judge reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Unless Democrats win the House in 2026 and can stop a lot of this.
Itâs hard to overstate how big a deal this is - for the economy (ours and globally), for the rule of law, and for the proper and efficient function of government. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trumpâs ass.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
Howwwwww is the Lisa Cook story not in your newscast?? Malpractice.
"Mr. Crooks, we understand you're pretty handy with a gun. How would you like to help the SS protect the president? We'll need to station you on a roof . . . no, you cannot tell anyone."
Nine agents knew about Crooks on that roof. A countersniper photographed him with a rangefinder. Trump still took the stage. Was this incompetence...or intentional permission for a spectacle?đ www.jackhopkinsnow.com
It was a game-changer in many ways, from guitar electronics to studio production. Tom Scholz has never really been recognized for his massive contributions.
On this day in 1976, Boston released their self-titled debut album, on the way to selling 18 million copies in the U.S., and 27 million worldwide. Not bad for an album that is essentially Tom Scholz's demo tape and after getting turned down by every big label in the country.
The full 12 minutes of @govpritzker.illinois.gov speech today, which was superb. (Via Nicole Wallace / @msnbc.com segment.) www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...
Also why is a police officer wearing a hat with the logo of a brewpub in Virginia? Seems like if you were a real cop they wouldn't let you wear something like that while you were on duty?
it's been almost two months since Chuck Schumer sat down for an interview as far as i can tell
This guy is the vice president, a venture capitalist, and a Yale Law grad. And completely ignorant about the basics of World War 2. Sheesh.
