Long overdue
That is sad news. I’m sorry to hear that for Robert Mueller and his family.
It usually does.
Man, she is ON him! GOOD!!
Well, bummer. The other story idea was more interesting. Lol
I’ll bet those planes were already grounded in Guatemala by the time they were in court this afternoon. And if Gov then says, yup, they’ve been deplaned, they likely will mean in Guatemala, too. Judge needs to ask where the planes with the children are at physically now and where the children are.
Someone went and found this Michael Ragusa guy and, yeah, totally buying now that the crash was “inadvertent” and wholly unrelated to the first part of the story that they just had to mention for no apparent reason.
I’m guessing a Revenge of the Pimps kind of story. 😂
Pimps get mad about some things sometimes is my guess. The only thing true in this story seems to be that Rudy was injured in a car crash.
Damn. Too late for me.
I wonder if he was purposely rammed in his car by a dude who is also involved with the woman in this story. Otherwise, why mention the woman at all?
@johnhawkinson.bsky.social says Drew Ensign has missed the 4 pm deadline to file his status report.
Our goofy girl, Maya.
Super cute!
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
Play Celebration by Kool & the Gang on repeat, toast his demise, revel in relief, then get back to work to defeat the fascists.
Maybe adding to the wishful thinking is the fact he has no scheduled public events this Labor Day weekend, as well, which is odd for him. Not even golf.
Thank you!
@mattyglesias.bsky.social wants to give gifts to fascists. I would never give up vote-by-mail. Matt should just go all in and register as a Republican.

To protect Trump’s secrets from being exposed.
I have a 16 yo son, too, and that was his response, as well. I certainly didn’t have this worry back when I went to school. (70s/80s)
After DEA GOONS begin to harass and question a man sitting in Starburst Plaza in NE Washington DC, local neighbors remind him of his rights and stand with him until the GOONS give up on their harassment.
I live in CA and have been paying attention, so, not me, at least.
Trump, Hitler, Mao & Castro, oh my! This kind of propagabda bullshit is full-on autocratic dictator extremism It's happening folks!
By “American Workers First,” that banner is really saying “White Workers First.” Also, it would be great if those banners would somehow spontaneously combust.
Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
The dick-sucking pornography on live TV these days!
“President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign," Lisa Cook said tonight in response to Trump
I hope someone has shown this to Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyers.
Are those banners flammable, I wonder?

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
If I could say anything to members of the Guard deployed or getting ready to deploy to DC, it would be: keep calm, and don't make the news. We are all on the same side, we all share the same flag. DC is a hometown just like yours. The people you meet, all of them, are your neighbors.
D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
I promised Texas would be sued. And I don't bluff. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
“There is no Epstein list” - Ghislaine Maxwell Well Ghislaine, when you take all the rich and powerful people who regularly spent time with Epstein on his island, planes, boats parties etc and write them all down on a piece of paper… That’s the Epstein list. Hope this helps.
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
Important. Clear, concise, imperative. Please watch.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Could this not only be that idiot’s hatred of wind energy, but also a retaliation against Denmark, through one of its businesses, because Governor Newsom signed a partnership agreement with Denmark today? He’s petty like that.
You guys need Ghislaine Maxwell’s Rolodex.
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
Fuck these Nazis!
The fascist billionaire Republicans want you to believe resistance is useless. They want you to think nothing can change. But Kilmar’s freedom is proof that awareness matters, solidarity matters, and fighting back works.
August 22, 2030: ThirdWay releases its annual list of phrases serious Democrats should avoid using if they want to seek leadership positions in the labor cadres of their internment camps: “typhus” “mass grave” “summary execution” “human rights” “quicklime”
Terrorist
A woman who criticized Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to their facility in an interview has been transferred out to another facility which houses violent offenders. Trump’s DOJ is now punishing people who criticize his sex offender friends. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
The selective prosecution claim will be epic.
If I had to guess, Kash Patel had the FBI raid John Bolton this morning because today’s the extended deadline to turn over the Epstein files to House Oversight. My bet? They either blow it off or hand in some heavily redacted bullshit that hides Trump’s name. Always a distraction.
Oh darn. Missed a “cultural experience” by going at lunchtime on a weekday. 😥😂
We need the same here in California, and in every other state, too. Well done, @govpritzker.illinois.gov!
On a road trip in the 80s from California to Michigan with my grandmother and sister, we stopped at one somewhere. Had never eaten there before. Huge gift shop at the entrance. Food was forgettable. None near me here, so I have no dilemma about ever eating there again.
😂
I still don’t get why they consider this change to be “woke.” I know they don’t know what “woke” means, which is, I guess, why I’m so mystified. Also, I don’t really care about any of this.
This is war.
Love it!
The Cali. Assembly passes the third and final bill in the redistricting package. 54-20. Senate is still debating the 2nd, but it'll happen... If voters in November OK the maps (and courts don't overturn), California will effectively check Texas' gerrymander
Assembly just passed SB 280, which funds the redsitricting, 54-18. Moving on to the maps themselves now
NEW: Gov. Gavin Newsom comments on California's new maps moving through the California legislature
California now appears set to send the maps to the voters on Nov 4. But before we can say that for sure, the House and Senate have to vote on the other elements still. Which means more debate. This might go late...
Applause broke out on the California assembly floor as the chamber votes 57-20 to approve the constitutional amendment to allow mid-decade redistricting to counter Texas' own redistricting. The Senate is simultaneously voting on elements of the 3 bill package here, and passed maps 30-9. Story tk...
The Supreme Court has said burning the flag cannot be criminalized or banned. So Trump is going to sign an executive order instructing the DOJ to investigate people who burn the flag to find *other* things to prosecute them for, CNN reports: www.cnn.com/2025/08/21/p...
Reminder that in 2021, Senate Republicans filibustered a bill by Democrats that would have banned partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts.
Get ready for the bleating about “ACTIVIST JUDGES” any minute now.
She was super friendly, the call was easy, and wasn’t longer than maybe 5 minutes. If you are in Pilar Schiavo’s district, her local district number is 661-286-1565. Take 5 minutes and make a call today!
She let me know that what’s more effective than the same person calling every day on the same subject is to get as many different people as possible in the district to call, even just once. We need a ton of folks in our districts to call their Assembly & Senate leaders in support of this Act, STAT!
Santa Clarita, California folks! I just called the district office of Assembly Member, Pilar Schiavo, to ask her to please support Gov Newsom’s Election Rigging Response Act. The person I spoke with thanked me so much for the call and let me know that it was good to get constituent feedback.
Thank you, Stephen Mason, for this image.
💀
The lack of self-awareness @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has baited them into is incredible. This is easily the funniest thing Hannity has ever said.
We absolutely do! I had always heard that when fascism came to America, it would be carrying a cross and wrapped in our flag, but I didn’t know that horrifying prediction would actually come true. If we don’t fight back with every tool we have, right now, we are going to lose our democracy.
It really is all of our fight!
Thank you for supporting our state in this fight!
Fantastic news! Because F those guys! As soon as TX passed their BS redistricting bill, I donated to Newsom’s redistricting efforts. GOP has been rigging the elections for decades!
Fuck yes!
“THIS IS ABOUT RACISM. If you can’t hear it from them, hear it from me.” 🔥 Texas Rep. @voteannjohnson.bsky.social didn’t hold back about the racist Trump/Republican election-stealing maps.
“This is racial gerrymandering at its worst.” Rep. Al Green told Mother Jones during the Texas House proceedings, where they passed a redistricting plan that could give the GOP five additional seats in the US House.
Authoritarianism in plain sight. Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak. She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.
🚨BREAKING: Texas Democrat Threatened With ‘Felony’ During Press Call www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
That is outrageous! Can they do that? Charge her with a felony for that? Is there a law about that? WTF?!
Dems prepare Texas Supreme Court challenge as GOP redistricting vote looms https://bit.ly/4oPcN8g
Texas Democrats should sue Texas to overturn their illegal mid-decade redistricting.
I need someone to make a Gavin Newsom Braveheart image.
Texas GOP locks the doors to push through redistricting: TX State Rep. Hinojosa: “Is there still a call on the House that compels attendance and restricts our freedom?” Speaker Burrows: “Yes, until House Bill 4 passes.”
I am going to make a donation the moment TX passes their BS bill. Timing is everything.
Governor Newsom’s office phone number: (916) 445-2841
Californians! Texas is going to ram their illegal gerrymander through today. Today would be a great time to call Governor Gavin Newsom’s (@governor.ca.gov) office in support of the Election Rigging Response Act, or sign this: act.gavinnewsom.com/signup/web-e.... Maybe make a small donation.
In today's least-shocking news that we all knew before, Fox staff and producers all along the election wasn't stolen in 2020 and lied for ratings. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fac...
This sounds like an invitation.
