I heard they’re still struggling to get the president to master the line “putting on the ritz!”
RFK jr's cult beliefs in no way supersedes anyone's right to prevent death or disease in their self or their family. Full Stop.
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Causing a Führer
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
One reason for Democrats to ditch their reflex to say "You have a point" to the other side is the right wing hasn't had a good point about anything in most of our lifetimes
a bunch of you really believe that trump is the unstoppable god king who can do whatever he declares and it is dumb as hell
Awaiting your ruling on "aight."
Not a comedy but she's very good as an up-and-coming credit card scammer in 2022's Emily the Criminal.
Real question: Does anybody remember the name of the one-shot (?) online-only TV music/variety show with the cool '60s graphics from a few years ago? Please don't make me open the Other Site to search for it.
I kid because I love.
Austin Butler: name or job description?
wow
Breaking: The White House released a photograph of President Trump golfing this weekend to dispel recent rumors of his declining health.
When he says they will be “announcing additions to the senior leadership in the weeks ahead”, it is likely that what he means is that the most knowledgeable leaders will be replaced with political appointees. If ever you wondered about contacting your reps, that time is now. RFK Jr. must go.

trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
If we looked west from Tucson we could see the flames of L.A. just after sunset for several days. It was very dramatic.
Otis's big break
Just emailed all three.
This seems exceptionally unhinged, even for Trump.
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀

They're not the same reporters.
Asking the questions others are afraid to.
One thing about never-Trump Republicans, during Trump II particularly: They understand that the world they knew is dead. They have no investment in either reviving the former GOP (because they understand it's impossible) or maintaining the pre-2016 Democratic Party (because it's not their party).
He really is Patrick Bateman. He spends a lot of time with his hair slicked back, coolly fighting the other side in a fashionable way, and then at night he runs out to furiously throw some homeless person’s last picture of their family into a garbage can.
This is the America liberals want.
I figured RFK harvested his uncle's and dad's skinny ties.
RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.
I'm so old that I thought Watergate was as bad as things could get.
Yes, but also drop your AI push.
Not gonna cancel Labor Day?
"A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator,” says Trump. And indeed some victims of right-wing brainwashing think dictators can “get things done.” What they don’t understand is that dictatorships are often incompetent. A thread. 1/ 🧵🧵🧵

It’s important that everyone act as if the federal government is occupied by a group of Nazi sympathizing, neo-Confederate insurrectionists who are opposed to multiracial democracy and at war with the constitution—because that’s exactly what’s happening.
#resistance Over 5000 US government health employees denounce “dangerous and deceitful” RFK Jr statements www.bmj.com/content/390/...
Our country has descended into fascism. Some critics think that that’s unfortunate.
Polis showed who he really is when he danced on the grave of the Rocky Mountain News.
Need the Newsom heads to see this — there are Dem leaders out there who are fighting Trump while also standing on progressive principles. It’s not just Gavin.
April Fool's Good Friday, to be specific.
The Birthday Party at a small club in Denver, 1983
ICE went to an active wildfire and arrested firefighters putting out a fire
"rapid" in Demspeak
Mustn't anger their friends across the aisle.
This is such a no-brainer that the lack of a coordinated response feels deeply damning. A Democratic leadership team that can't mobilize an instant all-hands-on-deck effort on RFK Jr. isn't a leadership team at all.
What a wadsack
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
1) This dangerous lunatic is spouting Naomi Wolf-like woo-woo bullshit. 2) A president in his right mind would fire this dangerous lunatic. 3) A non-chickenshit Congress would impeach and remove this dangerous lunatic. 4) Instead, this dangerous lunatic is attacking the CDC. Right now. Tonight.
Every lawyer should get the day off in observance of the fact that they actually failed to indict a ham sandwich
Not many people know this, but all of the major political changes and social movement successes of the twentieth century -- from the New Deal to the civil rights movement to the Great Society -- were achieved because Democratic voters lay perfectly still and never pushed their representatives to act
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
What could go wrong?
Or even a friendo

TIL I've now lived in two states that have Cracker Barrels.
Maybe Hegseth can use the clips of soldiers in uniform picking up trash around DC in a recruiting ad.
Remember when all the really mature adults in the room said it would stop at bathrooms and sports and protecting the kids and that transphobes had legitimate concerns.
I bet nobody in Tucson even knows this exists.
TIL that Cracker Barrel has restaurants in both the states I've lived in.
In an earlier era, we called this a Kinsley Gaffe
International Dog Day greetings from Ben, Gracie and Nelly
"But when is Management Day?"
"So get back to work."
In this economy?
No amount of appearing reasonable and trying to avoid provoking them will stop them from escalating against you. The only thing you'll do is inspire revulsion in everyone else: if you won't even stand up for yourself how can you stand up for anyone else
Let me translate: they cheated.
One thing all aspiring fascist dictators do is convince themselves that the people *want* a dictator, that they're tired of the slowness & frustration of normal politics & demand cleansing violence.
I.... do not understand how electricity works
With Lisa Cook suing to challenge Trump's firing of her, experts in mortgage law tell me her lawyer can now use discovery to dig into the role Trump loyalist William Pulte played in singling out mortgages of her, Schiff and Letitia James for scrutiny: newrepublic.com/article/1996...
Okay, I've deleted my earlier post. Apparently, this is *not* a pipe. But the fact that I thought it was says a lot about society.
Release the health records
Now, now, only Trump knows what the voices in his head are saying.
Elon Musk’s xAI made people’s conversations with its Grok chatbot public and searchable on Google without warning — including a detailed plan for the assassination of Elon Musk and explicit instructions for making fentanyl and bombs.
A lot of people seem really excited about some guy named Newsome, though.
"Newsome" lol
It was only a matter of time before this started happening Welcome to the Golden Age, kids ..
Today we are all Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
I saw them twice in '83. By the end of their set they were playing cover requests shouted by the crowd. So much fun.
R.E.M. were better when Stipe mostly mumbled. Somebody had to say it.
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
"Democracy: How Great Is It, Really?"
"I love the poorly educated."
this is little more than a vendetta being pursued by the federal government against a man it unlawfully removed from the country and was forced to bring back
they desperately want footage of soldiers shooting americans
Well, I can think of ONE PERSON who's above the law.
Polis showed who he really is when he danced on the grave of the Rocky Mountain News.
Attn Military! GI RIGHTS💥
Dank memes.
It's probably fine to let Russia administer our elections. We've got a lot on our plate. One less thing to worry about.
Sad but amusing how many apparent Gavin Newsom superfans on here can't even spell his name.
Vegetables are woke.
Media...start asking about re-enlistment rates. Not how many are signing up initially. Make Hegseth and National Guard leaders tell you how many service members are staying in. That's the indicator of a force that is tired of being abused and you have never seen Hegseth talk about it.
Not just media but Democratic Congressional leadership too. If @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social acted and talked like this was a fascist emergency, the press would run stories about how they say this is a fascist emergency.
