Can't trust the Trump regime's job numbers coming out tomorrow especially since Trump put a yes man sycophant in charge of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. ADP says a miserable 54,000 private sector jobs added in August. That's the number I trust. www.investors.com/news/economy...
@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The entire performance was like a weird Trump impression with very heavy breathing mixed in. Kennedy was aggressive and truculent and defensive. He refused to answer questions with any substance. He blustered his way through the whole thing—even when he was caught lying."
Literally told you today about Poland “praising Trump for saying he will not just take the forces out of Poland, he will double down on this!” - ALL BS, Pentagon has been planning on phasing them out for months.
Department of war? More like Department of Distraction…. Epstein youtu.be/8okinG9YYuI?...
Still A+
Republicans know they will lose control of Congress if they don't rig the maps and make it harder for people to vote. Donald Trump fears a Democratic Congress and will do anything he can to prevent it. That is why those of us in the pro-democracy movement need to be ready to stand up and fight back.
The Trump administration is using crime and degradation as an excuse to control important transportation hubs. The government controlled the trains in Nazi Germany. They control them in North Korea. And now, they’re wrestling for control of the trains in the United States of America.
Football is back! As the NFL regular season gets underway in Philly tonight, California is looking forward to hosting #SuperBowlLX in the Bay Area.
PULTE: Public officials shouldn't be exempt from scrutiny SORKIN: Speaking of that, Ken Paxton has at least 3 examples of alleged mortgage fraud. Are you looking at that? PULTE: Unless it's been made public, I'm not going to comment on any specific situation S: Why wouldn't you make it public?
Mamdani: Why should I debate Trump's puppet when I could debate Trump himself? If Trump is serious about this, he should come to New York City. We can have as many debates as he wants about why he is cutting snap benefits for hungry New Yorkers just to fund tax cuts for his billionaire donors
The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.
In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lies are fueling a public health catastrophe. People will get sick. People will die. Science saves lives—misinformation kills.
I’ve seen a lot of fucked up shit in my day, but this might just take the cake.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Dems have flipped Iowa state Senate seat 01 today. Trump carried this seat by 11%, but nominee Catherine Drey (D) just won it by 10.4%. This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate. Will IA-01 be next? #IowaBlue
An utter disgrace to the country and the profession.
Law students should not interview with these firms.

Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.
Nichols: He doesn't understand anything that basically isn’t a real estate deal. And so the idea that Putin is obsessed with Ukraine for other reasons, Trump just doesn't understand any of that stuff and doesn't understand why he can't make a deal.
Remember when Kamala said Putin would eat Trump for lunch? I was thinking about that today for no particular reason.
I want to remind everyone as we discuss the CPI/inflation numbers today, from July 30: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics is reducing or ending the collection of data that is used to calculate the Consumer Price Index." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/b...
when the right say 'crime' they mean 'the presence of groups of people we're bigoted against,' they don't care about the actual stats
The woman petitioning SCOTUS to overturn marriage equality in the name of the sanctity of marriage is on her fourth husband.
Fanone: There’s absolutely no legitimate justification for the way that many of these agents are behaving and the military-style show of force. If we ever do right this ship, this organization has lost all credibility. I would hope we would completely abolish ICE.
For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
That is a word salad. Wtf does that even mean…
#47 doesn't give a shit about crime in DC. He commits them daily. He's just using that flimsy excuse to justify in his pea brain thinking, taking over DC and making it the first of many police states, eventually the whole country. He really believes he can be successful. Dangerous thinking.
Can we find tuba players to play behind these fat fucks? Maybe play some mariachi mixed in.
Do they not have to pass a fitness test? None of them look like Drug Enforcement to me. They look kind of lazy. Or, maybe they know this whole thing is just a performance for Dear Leader.
Why do they all have a high BMI?
Maybe they should mix in some jogging too.
They don’t even know where to patrol. Pathetic.
Can't sleep. It took Germany almost 50 years to recover from Hitler. Consider what happened. If we are forcibly divided after Trump is defeated and gone choose wisely what section you end up in. It could be for generations.
You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)? Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next. www.npr.org/2025/08/09/n...
Another reason why I don’t watch that network any more.
No deals Senator. None. Thank you.
And not only do they not concede current territory Ukraine keeps at this until they get Crimea back. That takeover was illegal too. Lest we forget.
He will agree to it. Ukraine and Europe will reject it. He will blame Ukraine for obstructing peace. He tells his boy and the public that he tried and blame Ukraine. He stops supporting them. Wash, rinse, repeat. So sad. Just another distraction.
david rose grew up in our community. his mom was an icu nurse at emory. his wife is pregnant and he had two kids. please share this & help if you can.
"Americans already understood Trump to be corrupt, and proved themselves willing to tolerate that. But now they are coming to believe that he is inept. In American politics, that is an unforgivable sin." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Cassidy is a spineless coward. If there is a next time, maybe he will vote for doing the right thing.
The group needs to file a lawsuit immediately. Let’s support them!
Yes, this is how you fight, Governor!
I really like this guy.
Trump is turning the FBI into an East German-style Stasi. In front of our very eyes.
Ditto
Appeal. Straight to court for wrongful termination. Let’s support this agent.
The federal government’s $1B dollar demand is designed for one purpose and one purpose only: to devastate @UCLA and its critical mission. #StandUpForUC to defend America’s greatest public university system and support this life-saving work. bit.ly/standupforuc
Tell him to pound sand.
100% agree. Not one penny. Not one negotiation. And right to court. Let’s go.
It’s disgusting. Trashy like his properties.
Narrator: Sadly though, SCOTUS has now exempted the president from the founders’ intent to criminalize bribery.
That’s why Tim Cook’s behavior is even more disappointing. We would have tolerated more expensive Apple products for 18 months. Now he started down the road of Tesla.
Another truly despicable individual influencing a despicable administration.
Priorities…
Wait… are we sitting down for that news? Are we surprised? Sadly no. But love the receipts because this attitude and strategy is going across the country.
INBOX: Former US attorney Preet Bharara is representing Adam Schiff and has issued a statement blasting Ed Martin's "glaring" bias as he examines allegations Bharara says are "stale" and "debunked" re Schiff's mortgage.
The national average for car insurance rates could climb by 7% because of Trump’s tariffs. He’s squeezing Americans’ wallets dry.
$1B to get $500M in funding... hmm... Does UCLA have a Math Department?
I believe that this is known in organized crime as a “shakedown”?
If secession is the answer,Blue States need an Annapolis Conference to get plans rolling. Blue State Governors& Mayors, leading House & Senate Democrats, 2026 Presidential candidates, military, economic and legal advisors, union , religious leaders & activists to participate.
Oh and that donor status CA has for the rest of the country - no more donations. There is no ROI for us. He’s shutting down the IRS anyway.
Not one penny. No settlement. I’ll pay a small temporary tax to replenish UCLA’s research funds. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and UC leadership need to tell them to pound sand. All the state’s legal resources should be made available. No negotiations. Period. The people of CA will get behind the fight.
My firm represents FBI Special Agent in Charge of Las Vegas Field Office Spencer Evans, a decorated 21 year veteran, who was just summarily fired by Dir #KashPatel. No due process. Fired because he followed COVID protocol instructions issued by Justice Dept back in 2021-22.
Let’s get behind this agent. Fundraise, pro bono, etc. We must fight this every time it happens. Every wrongful termination. Without exception.
Those are fair points.
They are literally running out of dumb, boot licking people. Good.
Probably not. Don’t be dumb. That’s not the point. Tim Cook needs to be called out for this.
The Indiana Lt. Gov is an uneducated, shameless moron. Enough said.
Under no circumstances, should there be $1 in any type of settlement or payment. Not a penny. I will gladly take on a temporary tax to get UCLA its research funding back. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Listen to the people. Put whatever state legal resources are necessary into this.
A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵
The hypocrisy will continue to reach new heights.
UNMASK ICE!
What Trump is doing to the Census is similar to his strategy on gerrymandering and gov. economic data. He is going to change the formulas to maximally bias outcomes in his favor, at the cost of accuracy and fairness. At a fundamental level, Trump is a cheater www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-make...
Perez: The governor's coordinating the Texas department of public safety with the FBI, the president—this is really the type of coordination that could have been used when Texans needed it during the recent floods.
Wtf… it’s all about waste, fraud, and abuse…not.
No one is safe from the new wannabe police force and nowhere is safe. No one.
I’m really bummed that I just upgraded my phone. Damn. I thought the inauguration boot licking was the end of it. Apple and Tim Cook, I’m out after this runs out. You lost me for good.
He’s not educated or intelligent enough to answer that question.
More than two weeks ago I called for Democratic governors to redistrict 30 Republicans out of their seats. I stand by that.
Reports suggest UnitedHealth gave BONUSES to nursing homes for sending fewer people to the hospital, even if they were sick. Senator Ron Wyden and I are pressing for answers. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
"Pete Hegseth doesn’t want to talk about his “hugely ambitious” missile defense project. Maybe that’s because “all anyone knows about Golden Dome is that it will be an expensive, all-azimuth defense against everything that flies,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:"
no more educational material for your children. just poisonous right wing slop.
They passed a bill that takes healthcare from 15 million Americans. We spoke at a local Planned Parenthood about how clinic closures from this bill will impact healthcare access for people across the country.
