* Trump Family Amasses $6 Billion Fortune After Crypto Launch @wsj.com
"India, long courted by the West as a...counterweight to China, has been rattled by Trump’s tariffs; the Kremlin has publicly brushed aside Washington's peace push in Ukraine; and Beijing continues to spar with the U.S. over trade, Taiwan and global influence." www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/p...

Trump this morning. (Andrew Caballero/Getty)
The man's eyes are fully black they're giving him the demon drug cocktail
I'm quite happy with my image choice for this one lol
"Hitler was widely thought to be a buffoon—both by German conservatives and by foreigners," says Anne Applebaum. "What that meant, in practice, was that he wasn't taken seriously until it was too late. His buffoonery disguised the danger that he posed to Germany."
It's often been debated if Trump could pull off a fascist takeover of the United States, because he's clearly not very smart. I talked to @anneapplebaum.bsky.social about that for my newsletter
I don't think this deserves a Nobel Peace Prize
Willy Wonka ass house
I want a candidate who runs on prosecutions and a modern reconstruction era
I remain a one-issue voter for the 2028 Democratic presidential primaries, and that issue is the promise of prosecutions.
I was told to do my own research
There's actually backing for your thesis in psychology. Survivable apocalypse=no more responsibilities/expectations
When Trump was born, a double rainbow appeared and a new star was seen in the night sky
Like Kim Il Sung before him, he is the reason the sun rises in the morning
I'm glad someone's saying it
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
I made a spreadsheet of all the federal cases filed as part of Trump's DC crackdown. It's not going great
when he does finally go i will demand not just the death certificate but the long form death certificate
“Trump once said he wanted the generals that Hitler had,” Dr. Paul Josephson wrote. “He’s certainly working on getting the science that Hitler and Stalin had.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...
He can only see the world in terms of real estate deals
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
“I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.” —Bill Kristol
I’m just waiting for Bill Kristol to lead a Marxist guerrilla coup against the Trump administration
I misunderstood this as a post about the NPR podcast
I'm in Europe, and they took me a minute to figure out. Lol. I kept ripping the top off until I understood
We should do this every day tbh
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
Depends on the millions
America last 🙃
The polls show people already hate it, so I'd say it's too late to "define" it
Whenever it is actually happening, we're not going to know what to believe, because they've been lying to us constantly for years
“.. The Oval Office photos don’t resolve those questions. They raise them. And until the press decides to treat Trump’s health the way it treated Biden’s, makeup and memos will remain the White House’s first—and last—line of defense.” @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/trump-heal...
British tabloids are covering it lol
Zohran Mamdani is the happiest politician in America, his whole campaign is about how New York is awesome and can be even awesomer. Meanwhile, there has never been a politician in history who talked as much about what a shithole he thinks America is as Donald Trump does.
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town
Didn't realize I was searching France's results. Basically the same in the U.S.
Interesting

Weekend at Bernie's is literally set in the Hamptons on Labor Day weekend.
He doesn't even need to use a pillow.
JD Vance right now
They should do this to Stephen Miller when It Happens
Ok, I've been updated. Looking for my voodoo doll
I just woke up in Europe. Can someone tell me why it appears the timeline thinks Trump is dying
A federal appeals court has ruled that President Trump’s tariffs exceeded his authority under an emergency powers law.
Windmills, Dave
"Elon death count" too
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...

Well, we all are going to have our political careers die
Great strategy. Stick with that
Is that the wood guy from Crash Bandicoot
A federal grand jury has declined to indict another person arrested as part of President Trump's D.C. crime surge. This was the only case we know of in which the National Guard participated in an arrest. After the grand jury declined to return an indictment, DOJ moved to dismiss the case.
Memphis is the only American city that makes the list of the 10 most dangerous cities in the world. Chicago's not even in the top 25
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor. Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1996...
".. military leaders privately questioned whether the troops had received proper training and warned of the 'far-reaching social, political and operational' risks of aiding law enforcement, according to a Reuters review of military records .." @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/mil...
If Trump supporters hate mRNA vaccines so much they should find the guy behind Operation Warp Speed
Minnesota Nice has left the chat.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
I don't believe in the manosphere. I'm a flat man-er
You could have saved us a lot of time Miranda
Sometimes when the news has me down I just try to remember that Henry Kissinger is dead
Spotted in my neighborhood
Well, about a third of the public is insane and/or stupid, so there's that
The Minneapolis shooter was apparently a fan of several mass murderers who were motivated by the same "Great Replacement Theory" that has pretty much taken over the Republican Party.
Hurricane victims: We need the National Guard!! National Guard guy in DC: I don't even know what mulch is, to be honest
I'm calling it the mail loneliness epidemic
Trump administration moves to bar states and even private (!) nonprofits, such as Red Cross, from helping undocumented immigrants after disasters. Evil. s2.washingtonpost.com/4467742/68af...
It annoys me. They feel like spies when I'm walking by
Store clerk: Your regular box of wine, Jeanine? Jeanine Pirro: Make it two this time. The Sandwich Man has outwitted me again

“Pain at the ‘plug’.” That’s a new one. ⚡️ @bloomberg.com @bobburgess.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Imagine signing up for the National Guard after seeing an ad like this and then you end up in D.C. picking up trash and spreading mulch
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

“Trump’s pretense to ownership of public goods and public spaces isn’t some quirk to be ignored or waited out — “there goes our Donald!” — but a direct expression of his autocratic ambitions and despotic cast of mind.”

Sorry for your loss :(
What's a JD Vance supporter I've never heard of that
There could be one murder a year and four muggings and they'd be doing the exact same thing
I know you'll find this shocking, but these people actually hate these cities and this has nothing to do with making them safer
I am Governor Gavin Newsom My aura smiles and never loosens Soon, I will be president Trump power will soon go away I will be Führer one day
