Thanks. That make sense.

Thanks. That make sense.
To #Boebert- Your job is to represent the interests of your constituents (your bosses). You’re supposed to be taking orders from the people in your district and carrying them out (to the best of your abilities).
If you know California voters, tell them that if Trump rigs the next election and Republicans keep Congress, they will most certainly not certify the election in 2028 if they don't like the result. No one is saying gerrymandering is good, but unilaterally disarming could be the end of our democracy.
Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.
Congress is on recess. It’s barely been reported on.
One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.
Same president in both case too. Is a presidential recusal coming? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Interesting from someone who swept homeless camps because the next verse is : “Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?” – James 2:15-16
With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
Europe: Don’t call is for help during the eventual backlash.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
I think its a white hat in shadow.
Project the rainbow with lights. Won’t work in the day, but it will at night.
He could just walk out to WH lawn, address the media, and tell them it’s hogwash. Simple.
Because, A) Wag the Dog B) In Trump and Hegseth’s minds, ”why do we even have a military, if we can’t do war stuff?” They have an 8yo playing with toy soldiers mindset. This from Aug 2016.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
There is NO way Trump would see all the speculation about his health and would not do something to squash the narrative… if he could.
A) there’s NO way they have taken in trillions of dollars B) Why are they so panicked by the thought that they may have to pay back American importers and consumers? Did they do something with the money?
www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri... lmao they’re activating them for 29 days over and over so they don’t get full active duty pay
And as @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I argue in #ScienceUnderSiege, it really IS appropriate, William J Broad, to compare the current assault on science by the administration and its enablers in congress (and, yes, the press): bsky.app/profile/mich...
Aren't there penalties for lying to the Court?
I bet that “strategy meeting” with Vance, Bondi, Patel, etc. was a meeting about how bad the Epstein Files were, who was on for a cover up, and how to the cut bait on Trump if necessary. Then Trump found out and it was completely altered.
YES. But he’s the meal ticket. He’s the bottom card in a huge house of cards. They know it’s basically over if he has to resign.
This is true. And he likes to control the narrative. And he wants to look like a strong macho guy. A normal Trump would be doing something performative to tell everyone that he is physically fine, “and doing very well concerning cognitive”.
Another cover up.
Yes, and people develop ways to hide the symptoms.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
gunning to undermine Vance so that they have a chance in ‘28.
JD had to drive the wrong way down a one way street to avoid seeing protestors out of a car window. JD doesn’t have the cult and without the cult, you don’t have the primary and death threats, and without the threats you lose control of the GOP in Congress. Any number of GOP politicians will be
I just posted that exact thing.
I believe the second administration will never take him to Walter Reed if they can avoid it. I wonder if he saw someone at Bedminster.
Can people in #Idaho drive to neighboring states to get vaccinated… because we all know this state government not only rides the Trump train, they shovel coal in the coal car.
Setting things up for institutionalizing people who can’t accept the cult.
He’s not making any concerning management moves, but, yes, I am looking around.
The FoxNews Effect
There is a lot of people out there like Buddy. I have a financial advisor that used to be a middle of the road, clear thinker. Lately, he’s been defending Trump’s economic policies, and when you press a little you can see he has just bought into the cult. Facts are thrown out the window.
feeling like an alien lately because i’m not interested in Points. i’m sick of being told to Earn Points. leave me alone
What was the thing that was happening just before Trump invaded LA that was about to destroy it? …and hasn’t been there for decades.
Is the anti-woke clickbait industry out of targets, … or have they just figured out that they can label anything woke and its just a matter of picking the first thing they see and going with it. “What is woke today? Hmmm? (sees toast on plate at breakfast) Bread is woke!!”
time and money. I wonder how many of those people are trying to get out whole and are now way underwater.
I have a house like this in my neighborhood. I’ve also seen houses that were bought at the peak when people were moving up from Calif. They were estatic that they could sell their tiny home, no yard, and buy a huge home on a huge lot. Now, they are figuring out maintaining it costs a lot of

I always get a laugh seeing this photo of Peter Thiel because it’s a crypto conference in April 2022. He said crypto was replacing fiat currency. He was then in the process of selling $1.8 billion of crypto before the crash of late 2022. We only learned about the timing of his sales much later.
Which one the old president, or the new fake president?
If you don’t believe that Trump’s authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:
10??? men to arrest one man quietly sitting on a bench? The idea is that immigrants are a financial drain on out country (which is hogwash) When we finally get the bill for this racist campaign, its going to be clear that this cost Americans exponentially more than just leaving these people alone.
Cyclone punter: “I’m entering the portal”
Is he not aware that limestone is soft and brittle? As a "builder", you'd think he would know that. Also, how much did this cost us?
What’s with this sudden interest in all the train stations?
I’m still shocked that Republicans published a plan for how they were going to dismantle or compromise every major government agency, people called it crazy, and now they’re halfway done within the first year of Trump’s administration. It was all in Project 2025.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
I will bet it’s just an excuse for Kash Patel to vacation in New Zealand.
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...
And… nobody else did either.
Here’s my proof that something is wrong. He didn’t come out today and make some statement about how healthy and fit he was- after every social media platform was dominated by speculation of his death. He would be the last person who would want to look weak and infirm (“like Biden”).
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Don’t be too afraid of Vance. He was inside a car, that was inside a caravan, and drove the wrong way on a one-way street to avoid protestors with signs. bsky.app/profile/wisd...
That’s $30billion pulled out of the economy on ONE month. Eventually its going to add up, and people will stop buying, businesses will close, and people will be unemployed… a downward spiral.
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
6. Had a stroke
Stephen Miller pushing through some posts before it’s too late.
Did he actually arrive at the golf course? Where there a lot doctors golfing today?
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
Trump at his golf club today. He hid from the public for days and won’t let the press pool near him.
I wish Biden and/or Obama would just call out a move in Venezuela or Mexico as a potential Trump move to distract - so that he wouldn’t allow himself to prove them right.
PHEW!! one problem taken care of.
VENEZUELA
You know what bothers me? The Atlantic. Once upon a time, you could open that magazine and actually learn something—an essay with some heft, an idea worth chewing on. Now? Page after page feels like a professional complaint box. People telling you why they can’t eat Indian food or look at big teeth.
“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.
When you see him in a post - just say “that’s not the real Trump.”
I refuse to acknowledge that he was not replaced by a body double, in an effort by the global elites to stop the Epstein files from coming out.
This is the way. Document and sue them into oblivion.
"His mother told NBC4 that the agent told her son they had confused him with someone else, but to “look at the bright side: you’re gonna have an exciting story to tell your friends when you go back to school”." WTF www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
ICE detain man who is legally in U.S.—son of a decorated military veteran. "As a granddaughter of a Master Sergeant veteran," she said. "I never believed my home would be at risk in the country my family fought for." He is living in U.S. legally—and has never commit a crime. Dallas, Texas.
No more than Trump himself. It would be more embarrassing to do nothing and keep paying your own government a tax to buy imported products for no reason, because you don’t want the president’s imbecilic idea exposed for what it is. Too embarrassed by your stupid ideas??- RESIGN.
N #ICE
It’s ok now that Elon has replaced Trump with a fake. robots have no feelings.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Stephen Miller is fake.
Can it make videos nobody asked for?
Only trust know-nothings, and their imaginary friends.
Phew… I had been really worried about this. For everyone who thinks Trump is some dictator mastermind: He is just parroting things people tell him. Without villains like Stephen Miller, Trump would be occupied only with remodeling the WH, and planning Kennedy Center Honors.
CHICAGO…
