Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
future historians arguing that most stories about Loomer are too ridiculous to be credible and are reflective of general American misogyny of the times
Something a lot more people could probably stand to internalize is that having a romantic partner is about 1% naked stuff and 99% chronic socializing, and it really is genuinely fine if that's not something you're into.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
This guy gets it. This is the way.
I have issues—significant issues—with Bowser's actions during this, but 90% of what happened today is about the background. 1. This is pretty clearly an effort to minimize the chances of Trump seeking to extend the emergency. 2. Federal law enforcement — as opposed to the troops — are always here.
So then couldn’t Pritzer call up the IL guard with orders being to prevent the tx guard from entering/using force in IL?
The exact same correlation exists for male education
Oh, the courts might object? The courts that the Trump administration has defied with impunity? The Supreme Court that handed Trump a huge win in his battle to unilaterally repeal the 14th Amendment? Give me a break. The norms are gone. There's one rule now: The president does whatever he wants.
Where I live, in D.C., the Trump administration just effectively repealed our gun laws by refusing to enforce restrictions on AR-15s and public carry. It's a two-way street, right? The next Democratic administration should declare a nationwide ban on assault weapons. It's an emergency, after all.
Impound ICE's funding and redirect the money toward mass refugee resettlement. Cut off federal funding to states with draconian abortion laws and use the money to build reproductive health clinics in those states instead. End oil and gas subsidies then funnel the money to green energy projects.
Other things the next Democratic president should claim a prerogative to do unilaterally: •establish Medicare for All •forgive all student loans •legalize weed •mandate nationwide non-partisan redistricting It's an emergency! And he's the duly elected commander-in-chief! That's how this works now.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
If need help in Idaho, lie about your age.
Teens calling Idaho's suicide hotline are being told they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up. Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/08/29/i...
Vance is absolutely terrible but he would be a better president solely because he is not likable or charismatic so he could never inspire a cult of personality. Judges and R congresspeople much more likely to tell him to f*ck off.
One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.
It’s sickening that “evidence connects President to teen rape club” is not considered newsworthy but “base voters upset about teen sex club evidence suppression” is.
Definitely also RFKjr.
“WHO ARE YOU PROTECTING??” “Trump, you idiots.” “WHO ELSE?” “Pretty much just Trump.” “Ok let’s go back to yelling about corporate logos.”
Media Elite all hang out at same fascist platform, where the fascist owner pumps in fascist disinformation all day/night, but these Media Elite cannot stop complaining that the few academics & media not hanging out on the fascist platform are in a weird "liberal" echo chamber.
It’s appalling how much journalists prefer piles of lies from the WH to factual information meted out. Personally I’d rather get 10 questions a week answered honestly than 100 questions answered with vicious lying. But they don’t! They actually prefer the latter.
He’s hosting the Swift-Kelce wedding in the new white house ballroom
only if he gets to keep the qatari jet.
The youth being good at politics is a liability for boomers who feel like they’ve earned their complacency.
Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
Photo passed along from a federal employee from inside the Dept of Labor building, where a giant Orwellian image of Trump's face is now draped outside. Big Brother is watching.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
Lots of people on this website seem to be praying for the health of all three men right now. It’s great to see so many people putting politics aside to recognize these cherished elder statesmen.
These Effing People
How can someone who fits their deportation quotas also be a voter? Non-citizens (even legal immigrants) can’t vote in federal/state elections.
obviously Trump always talks in these histrionic terms but it’s very funny to take the position of “if we return to the trade policy of my first term the whole country dies”
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Gentrification is what we call it when demand exceeds supply. It is not caused by bike lanes. The answer is not to suppress demand by enshittifying cities, or to justify endangering & killing people outside of cars as a rent control mechanism, but to increase supply.
The gentrification discourse is in a sad state. We’re at a point where any new, desirable thing in a neighborhood is portrayed as the cause of gentrification, as if residents being priced out is an inevitable consequence, rather than a result of policy choices. We could make different choices!
As the DoJ tells the court that it will not remove unaccompanied minors to Guatemala, we can only hope they’re telling the truth.
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
well in the best case scenario trump isn’t in any condition to be ordering so it’s whatever the staff prefer i guess.
Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order banning law enforcement from wearing masks in #Chicago and requiring their agency and badge number be identifiable at all times
I think the press have a duty to take seriously the real concerns of real Americans and demand that Trump take the presidential fitness test on camera.
most generous interpretation is they were sincere about it but believe the threat won and the Republic is no more, but shareholders still require returns
Only if you are a citizen. Immigrants are required to show documentation when asked. How do cops know the difference? 🤷♀️
It is but you don’t even need to go there. “The ones that serve the largest number of patients” gets the same result.
10 people are on a deserted island and there are 10 fish to eat if five people decide to throw their fish back into the ocean because they don't like tuna i don't think the other five are obligated to share
"oh but what about rural Dems or children" again: there. is. no. money. every rural doctor you pay is an urban doctor you don't explain to me why the 100 children of Fucksville are worth more than the 100,000 children of Shitsburg
Yes undeniable fact about Miller
If we ever regain power, this agency must be vaporized and the people involved in it permanently prevented from ever regaining state authority
He’s also 100% right about these people who have demonstrated no actual acumen. They were just hitched to a star.
Assume you don’t mean Biden since he was a longtime popular Senator which is why Obama chose him as VP.
If/when he does re-emerge it would be fun to insist that it's a clone just to be annoying
Can anyone confirm the last time the white house webcam was live? www.youtube.com/live/hTHld3T...
Would that be an extremely stupid thing for someone in Miller’s position to try? Absolutely Does that mean he wouldn’t do it? Nope
If he were actually dead JD Vance would be yelling it as loudly as possible to preempt the Stephen Miller weekend at Bernie’s palace coup attempt
No way in hell Vance goes along with that.
Sir, because of your decrepit physical state, every social media platform is speculating you're dead.
What we have here I think is a case of Schrodinger‘s POTUS. I move we just keep the damn box closed.
I think we’ll know very quickly when it actually happens. Anyone with any self preservation instinct will immediately shift to currying favor with Vance & begging for a pardon. But I do think things would be very locked down while he’s on his death bed, until the moment it’s over.
we're all trying to will a thing into existence really testing out that "thoughts and prayers" idea we hear so much about
we need a tracker focused on proximity to white house, not pentagon, for this…
i’m guessing vance knows no more than all of us, and once he does is when it will leak
tiktok is going wild over it but they were also convinced he would die on 8/24 bc of astrology and the tiktok witches collective hexing powers or something?
I can't believe the tenor of political discourse in the United States has been brought so low that people are ghoulishly eager for a negative outcome from President Trump's emergency surgery to "un-pretzel" his twisted up peter.
+ epstein
source for this?
paging @markzaidesq.bsky.social
that’s weird, right? they could extinguish that issue entirely just by having Trump sign the letter
Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
did Trump ever actually fire the CDC director or is it still the WH personnel office having done it?
hey sorry to bother you on your lovely beautiful friday night but THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE OUTSIDE A HIGH SCHOOL IN DC ONLY TWO HOURS AGO
regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once: — virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — against increasing the minimum wage — buys foreign imports because they're cheap
That & they don’t view the reasons *they* cut off family members as “political views.” They would say those family are sinners or sexual deviants or something.
“.. if, God forbid, there's a terrible tragedy, I can't think of better on-the-job training than what I've gotten over the last 200 days,” he added. @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
has he even actually fired the CDC director yet? like, personally?
i don't think it's happening yet, but no one in the press corpse having seen trump for two days and him not even playing golf this weekend is... a little exciting
"Her patient had signs of what could be a cancer or could be an unusual infection — diagnoses that would require completely different treatment. Ordinarily, she would confirm an infection after sending a sample to the CDC for testing ...the CDC no longer has the capacity to do that"
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
This question is pretty loaded. I suspect Harris voters may be more honest on this point than their counterparts. My racist aunt threw my cousin out of the house for dating a Black guy, but I guarantee you she also would have said it was wrong to cut anyone off for their political views.
“legally untested” lol
I would like to remind people Trump literally posted Obama’s personal address and a lunatic follower of his showed up there the next day armed to the teeth. You might not have heard about it because places like the NYT never reported it (they reported the gunman but not the Trump part at all!)
Imagine if we had footage of the Gestapo taking Anne Frank & her family away Imagine if Republican officials enjoyed watching that footage, they considered it a job well done Florida is banning Anne Frank’s Diary from schools because it makes the Nazis the bad guys and humanizes hiding from them
ICE kidnapping a mother as her child begs the officers not to take her. Heartbreaking 💔 😢
Lot of people not familiar with RFK’s fucked up brain so let me translate: he thinks he can walk around and see how many kids are autistic, and he thinks vaccines caused it. Pretty much that simple
What a muted headline. "Citizens of supposed democracy aren't sold on military occupation of major transit hubs." www.wbur.org/news/2025/08...
Or how about the fact that there’s no legal mechanism to do so? Was that not worthy of the headline? South Station is owned by the MBTA, not Amtrak like Union Station or New York Penn.
Encouraging the murder of political opponents
For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society
He doesn’t think he can see into children’s mitochondria; he just found a science-y way to say he can tell which children don’t deserve to live by looking at them.
Note that there's language from June on the CDC website that you can self-confirm you are immunocompromised in order to get vaccinated. However, in real world practice, this depends on the pharmacy.
