Who's going to stop them?
Cool, so we lost the Cold War. PNW weather to suit mood. Happy to be at 🔹️☁️. Hates (in no particular order): putin, it, ex-, orban, spongebob, olives, musk, moths. Loves: my son, my daughters, my dog, politics, writing, ukraine, fresh warm bread. Need plan.

Who's going to stop them?
Nory Sontay Ramos was a thriving high school student in L.A. until she and her mom were deported by the Trump administration in July. For @msnbc.com, we visited her in Guatemala as she tries to graduate remotely while hiding from the same gang they fled years ago. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/n...
Dear 2nd Amendment voters: If Trump can send the Texas National Guard into Illinois against that state’s will, what stops the next president from doing the same, except to take your guns?
Haha
Yall. What serial criminal has left more than 100 victims behind?
I realize she signed the petition today, but I can't help but think she's there's to gorilla-rip someone who mentions trump.
Cosplay BS!!! Epstein Epstein Epstein files! Now!
Republican men standing with Trump against the Epstein victims to maintain the cover up.
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…
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
Ask Elon why?
Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.
"No tax on tips. It's got a bit of alliteration to it, but no economic logic." This populist carveout gets just 1% of the tax cuts given away in Trump's budget, but a far larger share of headlines. It’s the populist fig leaf for a tax bill whose trunk and branches lean hard toward the wealthy.
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.
"Born to be criminals..." holy shit
Let’s go live to the Oval Office….
huh I tried to tune into the Trump Proof of Life announcement and all the major networks suddenly started playing Cats
Trump is way late to his Oval Office address. 22 minutes and counting. Waiting on the uppers to kick in? 🤨
Trouble posing the Muppet President?
The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.
THE UNITED STATES WILL DECLARE WAR ON NORWAY IF THIS ABOMINATION OCCURS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
One thing that's really reassuring about SCOTUS is how their actual, real, serious, genuine position on ethics is "we are not bound by any mortal law nor any code or creed, this is our world, you merely live in it."
Holy crap, NYT let Charles Munger Jr. write an op-ed opposing the California redistricting without disclosing that he's FUNDING the opposition to the California redistricting. I have 4 mailers he paid for in my house right now and that's just the beginning. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o...
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion
Belgium announces it will recognise Palestinian state
President Donald Trump's family made as much as $5 billion with the launch of a new cryptocurrency token, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal on Monday evening.
At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social (Published Oct. 2024)
What time are the Epstein victims speaking?
My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4
Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
I’m not sure you can actually call another country weak if yours got taken over by a genocidal game show host. Threats to humanity are threats to humanity no matter their effectiveness.
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.

Did Putin bring poison to Alaska?
Looks like a bedroom.
Is that a little liberty bell?
So here’s the interior map of OUR HOUSE-don’t know how old this map is What room are they in?
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Blocks and blocks of Chicagoans marching against Trump’s fascism.
The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
I don’t believe Rudy Giuliani was helping a “domestic violence victim” before his car crash. Not for one second.
He had an associate driving and the young driver hit from behind. The prostitute theory makes the most sense.
Omg, exactly!
I speak fluent bullshit let me translate. Bullshit "Helping domestic violence victim" Translation: "Having a heated argument with prostitute over fees for "services"
Virginia Giuffre should have turned 42 this year, but her life was stolen by predators who preyed on her as a child and as a teen. She was brave, resilient and gave other survivors hope. We honor her spirit, her fight and demand justice for every victim of trafficking. social.demcast.com/s/WEVRrXIk
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
Donald Trump pretends to care about Medicare fraud, but then turns around and pardons a guy who ran a $1.3 billion Medicare fraud scheme.
He's right. CHINA was just discovered to be helping war crimes in Ukraine. Our leaders should be exposing this, not us. Also Africa, NK, & now possibly India will join the war. It's a 'world war' despite people denying it bsky.app/profile/chri...
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
😲
It's his imagination and we're just lucky to be living in it.
I hope this escalates up until Chef Andres wins the Nobel Oeace Prize.
The people shouldn’t be afraid of their government. @chefjoseandres.bsky.social is amongst the most sincere, giving men on the planet. Today, he’s serving an honest #CupOfJoe to the felon in chief. Chef José Andrés radiates compassion. #DemsUnited
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Interesting that there’s so much chatter of a serious health decline just a few days before a press conference is scheduled on the Capitol steps with Epstein’s victims. Things that make you go hmmmm…..and he’s guilty af
❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
I'd like to buy a vowel.
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
MORE: Judge Sooknanan orders further status report from DOJ, setting 8:30 p.m. deadline to address whether all of the unaccompanied children have been returned to the custody of HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement.
Brilliant
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Can someone add me to the Signal chat?
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
Imagine if Dems could take back the senate. (Long odds, I know.) Just the effect on the judiciary alone would be huge. Susan Collins has never been a moderate, and Trump has her vote anytime he really needs it. Maine has a better choice in @grahamformaine.bsky.social. Give him a follow.
40% of Missourians vote for Democrats, and this is the Congressional map the Republicans are pushing for.
Make all Americans equal under law. End agents' impunity. Abolish qualified immunity. Require agents pay for liability insurance.

Going with the Phil Collins drum solo.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Mmmm, not sure. It is too linear.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE VIDEO OF TRUMP BEING ALIVE IS MONTHS OLD
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
With alt text: Note: youtu.be/E1rh96_xhE is now a video unavailable. I cannot find an archive of it but Getty Images has a pic from June 28 that looks like it came from that set: www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-...
Why is he carrying his own jacket? Hiding some equipment?
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
Promise tariffs ⟶ faff around ⟶ announce tariffs ⟶ pause tariffs ⟶ promise deals ⟶ court rules tariffs illegal ⟶ appeal ⟶ court order stayed ⟶ make no deals ⟶ 90 days expires ⟶ delay tariffs again ⟶ announce tariffs again ⟶ appeals court rules tariffs illegal again ⟶ you are here

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Part of their plan, Steve bannon clip.
So good
I fear he is just gonna show up at China's military parade with Puti and Kim, because his sucked so bad.
