This is blatant racism, and there is no “valid concern” that can sanitise it. I’m sick to death of the minimising of behaviour like this.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
We are winning out of sheer anger. NOT because of any leadership shown by the house or senate Dems. Why are the Democrats approval in the 20% range because 80% of Democrats hate that there is no backbone. A few congressmen and Gavin Newsom are standing up. Quit bitching at Velshi and get to work.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."
Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs. Remember when Trump said he would bring down the cost of groceries? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared

University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index was 74.0 in December, now 58.2 in August. Conference Board’s consumer confidence index was 104.7, now 97.4. Government officials shouldn’t go on TV and blatantly lie like this.
As the DoJ tells the court that it will not remove unaccompanied minors to Guatemala, we can only hope they’re telling the truth.
These people are in a cult and live inside a batshit alternate reality and are trying to get as many Americans as possible to join them inside it.
Government Efficiency!!
It’s astounding to me that the US Government is now vehemently pro-disease, while blaming individuals for not being healthy. These people should be nowhere near the levers of power.
The office of the president has turned into whore.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
Finding out.
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...
The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
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.
If you don’t know about Heather Honey, you should. She’s a national embarrassment, virulent election denier and now in charge of election policies for the US government. www.propublica.org/article/heat...

Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
That about sums it all up.
Five years ago, YouTube suspended MAGA propaganda outlet OAN, saying it was not an “authoritative” source of information. But today it celebrated a carriage deal beaming the network into millions of homes on YouTube TV. The timing is no coincidence, via @status.news www.status.news/p/youtube-oa...
OK VOTER: “Trump says he’s lowering drug prices 1500%, not sure how that works… can you name what specific bills would lower grocery prices?” REP. BRECHEEN (R): *WORD SALAD, has no answer — claims she’s “mixing federal and state” (even though Trump promised to do it day 1)*
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
"This idea that there’s one true vision for America—and it is Donald Trump’s personal vision for what our life and our culture and our society should be—is to me the most clear example of authoritarianism that we could see." - @vermontgmg.bsky.social
Wait until Trump uses his lap dog Mike Horowitz to find a reason to fire Jerome Powell.
Where are all the corporate media headlines demanding his resignation? Where are the all the assumptions that about specialists visiting the White House meaning the president is dying? They did this daily with Biden. Why not now? Are they covering for their cash cow? Are they paid to cover it up?
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Peter Thiel, Musk, Stephen Miller, and Russell Vought realize their King is sick and dying. This is why they're ramping up towards a dictatorship. To ensure their groomed boy toy, JD Vance, has all the power to do their bidding.
What are we doing about it,,??
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Dare to Dream
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
President Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.
Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮
Whoopsy
Inflation rose by 22.6% from 2019-2024. In that same period, the 100 lowest-paying corporations paid their CEOs 34.7% more. Worker pay didn't even keep up with the rate of inflation. Those corporate tax breaks will never, ever, ever trickle down. WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. 🇺🇸 Watch fascism work.
💥 The NFL is stoked to be woke. “All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change.’ africa.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
"Walking away from Trumpism didn’t take any special courage on my part. I didn’t even have to muster the gumption to quit my job—someone else made that choice for me. I have a special kind of respect for people like Bolton. Even if I don’t like them."
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided

“Those of you who feel like this is okay, get ready for the fight. Because the fight ain’t over. It’s not over until we’ve energized America to save Democracy.”
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
You only try changing the rules if you think you're losing — and that's exactly what Texas Republicans are attempting to do. We want to give Californians the power this November to counter redistricting power grabs and stand for independently drawn maps in every state.
Who's going to tell them what government ownership of means of production is called? www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...
Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
California is a donor state. We gave $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we got back. Texas and Arkansas are recipient states. They received more from the federal government than they gave. Facts matter.
BREAKING: California Supreme Court rejects GOP effort to halt Gavin Newsom’s redistricting push
New in PN: Russia, Trump is listening "It’s this arrangement that Trump covets. Why shouldn’t he be allowed to rule for decades with no worry he could ever be defeated again like he was in 2020? Why can’t he dictate how elections are run to ensure landslide after landslide like Putin has managed?"
When will this nightmare end?
The CEO has made it abundantly clear that he wants to play politics and Bed, Bath and Beyond does not want the business of Democrats anywhere in the country by doing so. If they even had it to begin with. Good luck with the MAGA rebrand.

NEW VIDEO: President Donald Trump announced he will issue a new executive order to get rid of mail-in voting and to control the counting of ballots in 2026. This is not a political stunt. It is an existential threat to democracy. I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6K4...

A federal judge rejected the DOJ's effort to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the Epstein case. He wrote that the government itself is the “logical party” to make the Epstein files public and criticized its motion as a “diversion” tactic.
But 80 year racist Facist are ok on his world.
The judge points out that the 76 pages of grand jury testimony are a drop in the well compared to the 100,000 documents the government could release.
Guys! Everything helps. Please do your part no matter how small. "Thank you for your one-time contribution to Governor Newsom’s Ballot Measure Committee! Together we're changing our country."

Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
This is a basketball game where the refs have just stopped calling fouls. So the other side is just punching us in the face. And we're looking at the crowd saying 'isn't this awful?' But the other side just keeps punching us... so it's time to punch back and that is what Gavin Newsom is doing!
