Basically, I’ll just keep not going to Florida.

I signed. We need to go after all child predators. A powerful last name and fancy lawyers shouldn't give anyone a free pass to hurt kids.
Florida is ending all vaccine mandates, not just COVID related, including for school children. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
It’s best not to comment on a party you’re not invited to.

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
Phillip: “It was predictable. Everybody knew this was what Putin would do. The only people saying Trump was a genius and this was going to be all totally different, were folks like you 2… and Trump.” Shapiro: “The goalposts keep moving.” Phillip: “Trump is moving them.”
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Trump just murdered 11 people on a boat off of Venezuela to distract from the Epstein victims speaking out tomorrow. My guess is an even larger escalation around the time that the victims start speaking in the morning.
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
Other countries should be imposing sanctions on our regime for this murder
The tolerance for lies is killing our country. Trump just called Chicago “the most dangerous city in the world, by far.” But its homicide rate isn’t even in the U.S. Top 20. Will major media call out the lie – and call it “a lie” – or will they talk about his “tenuous relationship with the truth”?
While Chicago and the rest of us are thinking and planning for what un-American and illegal violations are next for Trump, what a tragedy that real problems are ignored or denied or exacerbated—realities like the climate crisis, the gun violence epidemic and a broken healthcare system.

I have now lived a long and full life, with a Republican Treasury Secretary saying that adding a national sales tax -- imposed on an odd assortment of goods -- *raises* economic growth. Can't wait to raise other taxes to raise growth further. Or to double tariffs so we can double growth.
But, but, but Trump said tariffs were bringing in trillions. What is this paltry 'billions' that Bessent is going on about?
It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
There's a lot going on, and a lot to argue about. But we should all be able to agree that the shocking levels of incompetence shown in the leadership of our federal government is both historically unmatched, and it hurts all of us.
shouldn’t the people still on big twitter be happy that the people they hate are all over here on tiny blue sky instead what are they complaining about

What we’re witnessing in this country is textbook authoritarianism. Trump thrives on targeting those who are least able to defend themselves, exerting control and cruelty to tighten his grip on power. To think it ends here is naive. We cannot let this go on any further.
strange. fabric doesn't normally fall like that across an arm.
“well this is certainly a bold departure from political norms!” as they are marched to the gulag
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
just when i thought people were as dumb as possible they yell “hey yall watch this” and faceplant into the patio furniture
Today’s court ruling is what we’ve been warning about for months: Trump is unlawfully using the military to terrorize Americans, including kids and hardworking immigrants — many of whom have contributed to this country and are part of American families.

One of the yes men behind him had on the wildest wig that I've ever seen. Other than that, big nothing burger.
Not sure if it's obvious how bananas this is. The usual tariff argument is that it helps producers and hurts consumers (by more). But Trump's tariffs don't even help (most) producers. It's genuinely difficult to design a tariff regime that helps less than 4% of manufacturers!
Says "Canada called, they want to be a part of it, we will work something out of it" highly doubt it.

Pentagon authorized 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges, per memo seen by AP, dated August 27.

Being pro-drowning of children seems like a real are-we-the-baddies moment www.npr.org/sections/sho...
⚡️Russian drones force Kyiv children to hide in metro as school year begins. The air alert, triggered by Russian drones, began at 9:20 a.m. local time and lasted over three hours, catching many children on their way to school before classes could start.
I'm just going to keep noting that the owner and operator of Twitter -- the social media that too many politicians and pundits use to determine what's "normal" -- keeps on pushing the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory that has been the motivation for multiple mass shootings in this country.
Uncertainty acts like a tax on growth. Firms delay capex and hiring; households save, not spend. Policy whiplash raises hurdle rates and widens possible outcomes. That’s why today’s uncertainty is an economic problem, not just a vibe problem.
It's my kids' first day of school for the year, so let me share with you a summary of the empirical literature I share with them: School can feel like hard work, but it makes you healthier, wealthier, and happier.

It’s the Monday Pupdate! In this video you will find: ✅ A stage five clinger ✅ Bunsen Back To almost 100% ✅ Beaker sees Chickens ✅ A long awaited Reunion ✅ The Beauty and the Beast
The World Travel & Tourism Council projected ahead of Memorial Day that the U.S. would be the only country among the 184 it studied where foreign visitor spending would fall in 2025. The finding was “a clear indicator that the global appeal of the #U.S. is slipping” www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...
During Jim Crow, many states mandated that anyone seeking to register to vote or apply to a state university had to have multiple voters/alumni “vouch” for their character. It was an easy if unsubtle way to maintain all-white (or mostly-white) institutions
Whoever is writing this on behalf of.. United States, I guess, doesn’t understand the main issue here - you are now explaining yourself after messing up the relations with India after DJT demanded Modi to nominate him for a Nobel peace prize for “solving the war between India and Pakistan”. SAD.
Jeez. For a minute there, I thought he was talking about Canada 🤔
LFG
Ukraine's offensive capabilities look set to receive a significant boost in the coming months with the announcement that the U.S. has authorized a European-funded $850 million sale of 3,350 Extended-Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles.

NEWS: No public events for Trump on Labor Day, Indians protest the Trump Administration by burning Trump effigies, Trump requests voter data ahead of the 2026 elections, and ICE surges set to start. The news does not stop even on Labor Day. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
On this Labor Day, let's remember that today isn't likely to offer a respite for those--disproportionately women, and especially women of color, immigrant women, and low-income women--who do the unpaid and underpaid labor of care. In fact, that labor may even be greater on days "off" like today. 1/🧵

A friend (okay, the youtube algorithm) just reminded me of this lovely—and very personal—interview I did with Jack Stafford (@podsongs). It's a brilliant conceit: He interviews you about your life and work, then draws it all together into a song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJh3...
Today’s picturesque press pool. Why don’t they ask where DJT is going every morning at the same time, when they’re placed in the same tennis hall to sit there until about 2:30pm, just to return to the WH. I don’t know, I’d be curious.

Tina Turner hits #1 today in 1984 with “What’s Love Got to Do With It” — a song she wasn’t sold on at first. “It was terrible. .. I was rock and roll. This was a pop song.” But her manager, Roger Davies, insisted. When it swept the Grammys, she dedicated the “Record of the Year” award to him.
1.2M immigrants are gone from the #U.S. labor force under Trump, preliminary data shows Immigrants make up almost 20 per cent of the U.S. workforce and that data shows 45 per cent of workers in farming, fishing and forestry are immigrants, according to /1 thread www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

45 years ago today Terry Fox was forced to call off the Marathon of Hope at Thunder Bay. He showed a nation what determination and leadership meant. Terry has stayed in our hearts ever since. We carry his spirit in these troubled times.
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.

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.
Are these arrests people that Trump previously pardoned or ? 👀
In his last term Trump gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by his tariffs than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy. China stopped buying our soybeans and grain. Farmers lost their farms. Some committed suicide. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...
