The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction for disputes between states (meaning they can actually file the lawsuit there, rather than have it go up on appeal). This would be a good time for Illinois to utilize it.
In my new book, AUTOCRATS VS. DEMOCRATS, I write in detail about how Xi has invested in multilateral organizations of autocrats, like the one meeting in China now. At the same time, the US has built new clubs for democrats. This dangerous trajectory must be reversed. www.amazon.com/Autocrats-vs...
There is no excuse for this delay by the EU or the US.

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You want people to stop yelling at you? Try, for fucking *ONCE*, actually listening to and Representing the People. SHUT this fascist shit down. STOP cooperating with bad faith abusers. When you are declared "enemy" and attacked, STOP APPEASING.

Today is Labor Day. Tomorrow is Epstein Files Day! Right?
Yea sure Senator. All Democrats making these Labor Day statements like everything is just fine……..while you all let Trump run us Americans over like a freight train. Democrats have turned into cowards.
Thank you. Have a great day!
I've never heard of this guy.
WTF are all you commie libs talking about? He looks great!!

❗👀 A forest fire is raging near Putin's palace near Gelendzhik due to the fall of a Ukrainian drone 10 km from the facility. Russia has deployed 550 firefighters, 89 pieces of equipment and a helicopter.
They're releasing the Epstein files?

And that gets at a larger point. Competitive authoritarian regimes benefit from reduced social trust — which is why they actively try to destroy it.
I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
This consensus is correct. But I don't think enough people have actually internalized the implications. That is, they're perfectly happy to point out that too many Dem officials don't understand this, but they haven't updated their own understanding of what this means for taking the country back.
DR. MUSTAFA: “So we’re not allowed to film what’s going on, but 🇮🇱 is allowed to kill these children? That’s the rules we’re playing by? — Yes, I felt my life was in danger, but I’m not going to center myself on this. We have to center those kids in Gaza.”
The Dems are saved! 🙃🤦🏻♂️ Somebody help this man. A party’s need for new leadership has never been more obvious.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Too much talk about overreacting. Not enough about underreacting.

JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
She was a traitor then, is a traitor now and she will always be in the future.
He’s wrong about everything, and thinks he’s right about everything. Hard to tell which is worse. The war will end when Russia decides no longer to fight. The US could make that happen with a few simple policies. Instead the Trump administration offers ridiculous analysis and pathetic excuses.
Vance is such an idiot.
AP: “Israel declared Gaza’s largest city a dangerous combat zone and recovered the remains of two hostages as the army launched the “initial stages” of a planned offensive… death toll in Gaza has risen to 63,025…” apnews.com/article/mide...
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
Oh My God!!!!! 😡😡😡
So Trump put a 22 year old in charge of the office that should be looking into threats like these and fired 3/4 of the staff. Main stream media - get this story out!
I'm very unhappy with many of the democrats. Including my senator Amy Klobuchar. She doesn't even acknowledge how much trouble we're in.
RFK Jr is driving this country towards an almost certain public health disaster. If Democrats can’t stop it, at the very least they can get it on the record now that they wanted him gone and the GOP wanted him kept in. Underline how they own the disasters to come. It’s Politics 101.
I wish Biden had just fired Trump appointees in independent federal agencies left and right. It would have forced the SCOTUS to address these issues with a Democratic president, and then those would have been precedents that would be more awkward for the Court to backtrack (w/o looking obvious)
AIPAC Shakur here with the same old blah blah blah they've been doing for decades instead of actually solving the problem of gun violence in America. The little kids were literally praying dude when they were murdered. Quit the nonsense & solve the damn problem for once. It's enough!
Hahaha I just did this a couple days ago. Have the pics in my phone!
Pretending not to hear the whole room chanting “shame” at her is the most Susan Collins things ever
Annunciation Catholic School is K-8, so children as young as five were in the school Mass when the incident happened.
What kind of cowardly physco f ..g person goes after little children.
As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives. Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home. We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.
Imagine if Obama said it.
Senator please stop with the “distraction” trope. I don’t know who told you guys it was good messaging, but it tells us you can’t tell a distraction from an existential threat. The frog in the pot has boiled to death. Your language should reflect that.
And I say that with all due respect. Seriously. I’m not yelling and I’m not trying sound like I’m pontificating. I say that in a way that makes you hear what folks across the country are ACTUALLY saying. People are legit scared. And scared about a lot more than the cost of things.
My guy - let’s fuckin save the republic before we start talking the cost of shit. Can we talk about the slowest moving, most obvious fucking coup happening? What are you going to do about it? Why is this being allowed to happen? Address that and the cost of shit will work itself out. LFG.
"This Israeli government is committing suicide, homicide and fratricide. "It is destroying Israel’s standing in the world, it is killing Gazan civilians with seemingly no regard for innocent human life, and it is tearing apart Israeli society and world ...
Why?
The question of whether Trump will respect democracy and the rule of law has been decisively and unequivocally answered in the negative. The only question we should be debating now is how to restore our democracy.
Journalism is not a crime
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
Everyone who was wrong about Trump — please say so openly to those who trust you and follow you. You have influence and thus bear responsibility.
Frost: On one end, we have the big ugly law. And then on the other, we have the federal government occupying our cities.. It's not two different things. It's the same damn thing. These aren't things that distract from one another. This is the thing to enable the other thing,

Analysis | Ukraine needs Trump to resolutely turn against Russia. Its best hope may be if Putin launches a missile attack on Big Balls.
Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

Trump declares Netanyahu a “war hero” for his destruction of Gaza…then declares himself one for ordering air strikes on Iran. Meanwhile, Laura Loomer, his National Security Advisor, charges that Democrat soldiers should not be entitled the Medal of Honor. #RadioFreeAmerica
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!
DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!

Great. Show up like Newsom. NOW. Wake UP democrats! Please. 🙏🏻
Russia has carried out the systematic kidnapping of tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, erasing their identities and forcing them into Russian families. Now, Trump, Musk, and Rubio are helping Russia cover up this genocide as his regime cancels a crucial contract working on this horror

Can we please not lose sight—while Trump is kowtowing to Putin—that Ukraine is fighting for democracy, its sovereignty and survival. America should of course be fully supporting our courageous ally.
Current US policy is making this Russian atrocity worse. People in Zaporizhzhia take in refugees from occupied zones and build new underground schools to keep kids safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/u...
Russia does this for many reasons, but one of them is to show that Putin owns Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/u...
Elected representative in Texas left locked in the House chamber because she refused a DPS escort. I know there's a lot going on, but if this isn't a front page story in every US newspaper tomorrow, our press is massively failing us. And yes, I know that they already are.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
