How did the the Berenstain Bears get roped into this?
Can Vance kill Trump with the same black magic he used on Pope Francis? We asked three MAHA moms at a Bob Evans in the north Cincinnati suburbs.
Not for nothing... Benny is a paid Russian agent.
The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC. @kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...
The combo of legit speculation on the health of Trump and this weird kumbaya makes for quite a dangerous situation for the USA: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...

This is one of the most explicit examples you'll ever see of "the people who annoy me the most, personally, also happen to be the nation's biggest political problem." The quintessential reactionary centrist maneuver.

It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
I feel like, while every new generation of earnest lefties discovers this anew, the dynamic itself has been true for many decades now. Remember, eg, Joe Klein? "I was a progressive until activists yelled at me" is an old, old game. Contemptible, yes! But old.

I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't promote my own research here--which is about the 60+ year, far right insurgency inside the GOP that finally realized its goal with the nomination of an illiberal, conspiracy-obsessed, anti-leftist populist named Donald Trump. rightlandia.ghost.io/walter-huss-...
Anyway...Dems need to break out of the impulse to see 200 white people protesting against Covid restrictions as "the voice of the people which we must heed" while seeing 10X as many people protesting racist police violence as "a niche special interest group that's out of step with real Americans."
This is exactly right! The Right’s core claim is that they represent an authentic, “real" America that is constantly being victimized, made to suffer under the yoke of leftist/liberal overreach, and therefore rightfully aggrieved. And too many Democrats/liberals look at that and go: “I agree.”
This is pretty remarkable but not that unusual. A lot of people want to portray RFK as having some Good Points. But no-one is objecting to more exercise and healthier foods. It is the anti-science (and specifically anti-vax) ethos that defines RFK and MAHA.
Someone please kill me right now.
Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/tragedy-br...

Three demential chess I tell you
GAO and normal humans understand that things outside of an agency's control can cause delays on budget execution. GAO holds up Trump admin's NIH & Head Start deferrals as examples of stuff that obviously isn't allowed. You may not defer for policy reasons. The admin's just claiming unlimited power.
Russ Vought has been very clear from the beginning that he thinks the Trump admin can (illegally) impound anything they want. They have been impounding since day one. These changes to Circular A-11 are just motivated reasoning to get to the answer they want.
But no matter what they say, pocket rescissions are illegal - and the exact part of the law that they claim *grants* the power actually directly prohibits it instead. However, even if the law did grant them the power, it would be unconstitutional under the LIVA decision. bsky.app/profile/bbko...
Thread: this is Russ Vought giving himself permission to ignore Congress and the constitution
A 1941 WPA road gang of migrant workers in New Mexico, many of whom were simultaneously working as farm laborers. Trump would have deported all of them.
Thanks goodness they have RFK Jr. on hand to monitor any potential imbalance in his bodily humors

We are already suing Ohio.
I spent a year living in England and this sort of wild embrace of flags was not really a thing. The only place where I saw a lot of Union Jacks were in parts of Northern Ireland, which were there to emphasize that the Protestant unionists wanted to maintain control over others.

Washington's speculation about Trump's health is at a fever pitch. We've seen multiple reasons this summer to ask questions — and the media doesn't seem to care. What's really going on? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...

Through its work in disease prevention, the CDC has saved millions of lives throughout the globe. Some of Trump's partisan critics question his plan to dismantle it.
Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old power seizing factory. So when Donald Trump promised to un-constitutionally seize power for himself, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Whoever wrote that is ignorant and/or disingenuous. All studies and safety data is available. It's the most studied pandemic in history. This is the same bad faith proposition by the same people who say "why isn't there any footage of the Ukraine war?" When it's the most filmed conflict ever.
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet
CBC asked that the two minutes be devoted to completely Canadian content. Moranis and Thomas thought the request was idiotic as the show starred Canadians, was crewed by Canadians and filmed in Canada. To mock the request, they created Great White North. 🧵 3/14

💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Steroids or morphine.
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.

Just had an interesting conversation. Folks in the American intelligence community are scared for the future of the community. Through unprecedented politicization of the intelligence community to retirements, peeps leaving for industry, and poor morale, it’s going to take a generation to recover.
Actually, he thinks that he is the state, and that everything should be controlled by the state, as long as he's the state.
In America we've set up a cool system where, when you get *super* rich, you actually pay *lower* taxes.
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
Whether it’s Republican Donald Trump defunding NIH or Democrat Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. gutting the CDC, both parties are to blame for the demise of America’s scientific institutions.
100%, all of this. It's what we advise @runforsomething.net candidates to do (and with the exception of point 10, which wasn't relevant, is basically what Zohran did in NYC.)
A lot of the studies on media influence on political behavior focus on Fox's position in the channel line-up to generate an exogenous effect. This one looks at the effect of a city boycotting a particular newspaper because of its coverage of a sports tragedy. theconversation.com/did-the-sun-...
Sounds like 10 points @amandalitman.bsky.social would endorse.
Horrible people attract horrible people.
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Damn. Solid list with solid reasoning.
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
I think Trump should forever be known as: Trump the Defiler.

So awkward to be living through a dystopian novel about techno-fascist billionaires who have banded together with white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and international dictators in an attempt to overthrow democracy and commit genocide, all to establish tech-enabled fiefdoms in their wake.

When Kennedy's imbecilic lunacy results in deaths, make sure culpability is also apportioned to Lankford.
The only response any D should give to these bad faith interviews is "Release the Epstein Files". They're still acting like legacy media, especially network TV, are operating in good faith after they paid tribute to Trump.
Proposed cuts to NIH will eliminate $14M from Carter's district's economy. Maybe he needs to explain it to his constituents why he wants to destroy their local economy. tpasinet.github.io/nih-budget-c...
