Based on today, pretty sure that worm starved to death.
Fuck Ted Cruz
Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…
Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Plan to Let AI Deny Medicare Coverage act.indivisible.org/sign/trump-o...
Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

100% and this is the type of moral clarity we need. You don't stop an aspiring dictator by talking about the price of eggs. You have to confront him head on. Newsom is doing it. Pritzker is doing it. Murphy is. Few others are. They need to wake up.

Liar....he literally grabbed it, his wife helped hide it, and then they snickered at each other....it's on video. Awful people...may karma be swift
Jake Tapper you reporting on this? No?
Cool story bro but we saw your first (honest) response which was to threaten to sue anyone who reported on you STEALING A HAT FROM A CHILD and gloating about it. I hope you never get out from under this.
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
No WAY!!!
SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."
xJoni Ernst is quitting the Senate to become a mortician.

J.Crew is under fire for using AI for their ad campaign. I work in the fashion industry, and this is happening more than people realize. My issue with AI-generated ads isn’t the tech, it’s the possibility of outright theft of intellectual property and likeness.
I'm a lifelong feminist and trade unionist. The lefty dudebros, brocialists and manarchists who try to dismiss me as far right because I advocate for women's rights are ideologically-illiterate fuckwits. It also perhaps reveals just how misogynistic and misguided the Your Party "left" has become.
It’s 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.
exactly! he's a no for me
Everyone watches Trump’s circus. Few see the man behind the curtain: Stephen Miller, the architect of America’s authoritarian future.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
More left-wing loonies using their hatred of JK Rowling to campaign against common sense.

Sources?
Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity. There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar. Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.
I guess the Democrat tent isn't big enough for everyone?
The democrats are being pulled under by the dead weight of old school party leadership. They have a star in the making. They are afraid of their own shadows. Don't they get it? If the party isn't cardioverted soon it will not make it.
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after Annunciation Catholic School shooting: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying!” Stop paying for a f-cking minute and demand action by people and not just God.
The recently selected chair of a North Carolina county Board of Elections was charged for allegedly drugging ice cream from Dairy Queen with MDMA and Cocaine and giving them to his two grandchildren
Whatever happened to the 2nd Amendment Gun Rights nuts who kept saying that they needed guns to protect themselves against a tyrannical government?! WHERE DID THEY GO? #TrumpIsAFascist
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
The basket of deplorables is now a barrel of crackers.
I don’t think the Nobel committee gives out peace prizes to deranged despots who want to call their defense departments the Department of War—and who intend to arrogantly ignore the role of Congress to approve such a name change.
The DC Democratic obsession with polls and focus groups is so outdated. What do Jeffries and Schumer think Trump's focus groups say about him focusing on sending the military into cities? Trump and Republicans do it anyway and then work to whip up support after acting.
Anyone else remember Wooly Willy?
If Donald Trump comes for Philly, I ain’t backing down. None of us should. If that means a short trip to jail, so be it.
COME ON GAVIN NEWSOM HOLD UP BOTH HANDS, BACK AND FRONT! LOOK THEY’RE NOT ROTTING OFF LIKE TRUMPS. www.rawstory.com/trump-newsom...
Moore: The president seems to obsessed with me. Today he called me a beauty. And when I first met him, he just talked about how I was a good looking guy.
Maybe Hegseth can use the clips of soldiers in uniform picking up trash around DC in a recruiting ad.
Lol
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
THIS is the way 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If you read Project 2025, this usurpation of the National Guard shouldn’t surprise you. FYI, the Christian White Nationalist gov’t overhaul is nearly 50% implemented. If you are looking to fight, to save your country from this racist fascism, please understand, you’re up against the U.S. military.
We’re waiting, Jake.
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."
It’s 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...
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"
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
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.
Cuomo: “Maybe we should get some of that ree form”
holy shit
Here’s what I see: A) The vast majority of Dems have coalesced around a morally clear platform. B) The vast majority of elected Dems have coalesced around protecting and pleasing their donors. C) Those two encampments are miles apart.
No lies told here.
South Park will now be categorized as a documentary.
this is literally this week's south park episode
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
Hakeem Jeffries won’t even help the democratic nominee for mayor in his own city.
To say I am disappointed in Hakeem Jeffries at this point in time is a gross understatement. The fact that he and Chuck Schumer cannot seem to meet the moment and stand up against fascism is one thing. But then, he and Schumer don’t have the balls to endorse Zohran Mamdani for mayor of NYC. #Useless
These are real threats, not distractions. There are few more feckless and worthless at meeting this moment than Hakeem Jeffries.
Hakeem Jeffries is a nice and intelligent person, I'm sure. BUT HE IS NOT THE LEADER THE DEMS NEED RIGHT NOW He is, in fact, the Merrick Garland of the House
The California legislature passed all three bills for redistricting and Newsom signed them! The voters will decide in November I’m not all that smitten with Newsom, but I am behind any Democrat standing up to fight REPUBLICANS FASCIST INSURRECTION! Some of our most heroic forefathers were assholes!
🤣🤣
It IS fascism.
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
Whose soul isn't crushed by this image? From street agents to the White House itself, there's not an imagined Hell hot enough for the people involved in escalating our brutal and dehumanizing machinery of immigration detention.
LOL

Has Arnold Schwarzenegger spoken out again the Texas gerrymander, since he’s so opposed to the idea in principle? I haven’t seen it, if he has…
So Kilmar Abrego Garcia walks free from federal custody. Funny how the system manages to move quickly when it wants to, but grinds to a halt when it’s about justice. The bigger story will be when he turns around and sues the Feds for what they put him through.
"We need to remember...tyrants often get elected democratically...then use the tools of democracy...to bring it down." -Rep. Mike Quigley
Regarding Bolton raid: the FBI with Trump had requested for a year that he give them the classified info they knew he had. This is pure intimidation on Bolton. But there will be no conviction… it’s the raid that is the message. And nobody will be intimidated by Eyes McGhee
Newsom: 175 billion in the bill that was just signed to reinforce the ranks of ICE for what is increasingly becoming self-evident a private army for Donald Trump. Owing an oath only to him, not the constitution
amen
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum with Trump and police in DC: “You have always during your entire life supported law enforcement.” Capitol Police would like a word.
Thank you, @CAgovernor.
Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…
They’re lighting democracy on fire.
From @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom’s personal Twitter account. Proud of my Governor. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
A great reason why women should not be well-behaved. The rules of patriarchy are hazardous to women’s health and well-being time.com/6319549/sile...
It’s on. See you in November.
Women leading the way in Texas. #Resist
What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.
Gavin Newsom’s late-night message to Fox
An executive order isn’t a law.
Higher education is a full-dollar export. Weird for a president consumed by the trade gap to go after it, hmmmm?
Yeah, if the DNC actually distributed funds to local parties/candidates, we'd be having a different conversation.
