I don't know if Trump is dying. He certainly seems like he's literally falling apart. What I do know is that whether he lives or not, we have to form together a democratic movement that fights fascism while coalescing around a plan to solve the problems that got him elected in the first place.
MADDOW: “Watch what he does, not what he says.” @maddow.msnbc.com asks the media to zoom out and see Trump firing professionals in law enforcement and the military as a precursor for what he’s planning to ask them to do — and imagine if it was happening in another country.
Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
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.
It’s proud, open fascism and anyone who won’t call it that at this point is an accomplice to it.

It's really something to read a convicted abuser and trafficker make sure in her DOJ interview to praise the President of the United States, who is trying to prove he wasn't one of her clients, in order to try and get a pardon from the President of the United States. Not at all disturbing.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
At the command of the president, red states are sending armed troops to occupy a blue city based on a manufactured crisis, over the objections of that city's leadership and 80 percent of its residents. If this isn't authoritarianism, I'm not sure what is.

Rest in peace, James Dobson, because I don’t want you pulling any vampire shit. Been on the fundamentalism beat 20+ yrs, which meant it was impossible to avoid him, but I was never interested. He was the plain, vain tyrannical creep he appeared to be. He caused incalculable pain.

The Justice Department will miss the House Oversight Committee's deadline for the Epstein files it subpoenaed. DOJ will "begin" providing records on Friday. The deadline was Tuesday. No indication of what DOJ will "begin" handing over and no explanation for the missed deadline.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.
Another insane surveillance story. DACA recipient pulled over in Colorado by police, then let go. Police tell a Signal group that includes dept that collabs with ICE. That dept then logs into an ALPR system from another department. Woman then arrested by ICE therevolutionistgj.org/2025/08/12/g...
While preventing kids from allegedly harmful content online sounds like a great idea in theory, these laws set the stage for authoritarian censorship, violate young people’s core civil liberties, forcibly expose users to significant privacy risks and utterly fail at their goal of “protecting kids”

It’s truly depraved for Trump to welcome Vladimir Putin to the US while Putin is actively wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Ukraine. Trump calls this a peace summit but it’s just an opportunity to hang out with one of his dictator buddies. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

The cover up is happening in plain sight. Where are those QAnon folks these days? We now actually have a government that is led by a sex trafficker’s pal, and trying to help convicted sex traffickers.
NBC News: Ghislaine Maxwell was ineligible to be transferred to a minimum security prison camp — like the one she was transferred to in Texas — because she is a convicted sex offender, according to the Bureau of Prison's own designation policy.
BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s imprisoned associate, has been moved to a lower-security prison, her attorney said. Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 on sex-trafficking charges, had been serving her 20-year sentence at a low security prison.

The fascistic and Neo-Nazi ideas at the beating, corroded heart of MAGA are disturbing and people want to pretend they’re not there or that they’re not sincere. They are very real. They are very sincere. They’re not something that will just resolve themselves or go away. They must be crushed.
Thread: Trump this morning amplified on Truth Social at least 9 different QAnon-promoting accounts a total of 14 times, including amplifying known QAnon influencer Pepe Deluxe. Below are images showing this.
"It's ok, honey. The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout won't hurt you!" The Sears Tower experiencing a blackout:
The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated
I want to know if the President of the United States is a pedophile. And I know the American people do too. I'm shocked that Republicans would rather shut down Congress than stand up to a dead pedophile. So why not release the files?

Giving this speech while adjourning the house to cover-up the Epstein files belongs on the Mount Rushmore of hypocrisy. Amazing stuff, Speaker Johnson
When authoritarians get desperate they get violent. They lash out. Arrest political opponents. Brutalize the people. As things continue to deteriorate we are entering a very dangerous moment.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

political bukkake, dear lord!
So I... erm... agreed to do the Jubilee 'Surrounded' debate. Me versus 20 far-right conservatives. And it was like nothing I've done before. Sheesh. I had no idea they'd be so extreme and racist. Full episode/debate drops on YouTube on Sunday morning.
sounds like a couple of pals being pals
Knowing everything you know about Epstein and Trump read this yourself two-three times and ask what the most obvious interpretation of it would be.
“That’s what I love about these enigmas, man. I get older, they stay the same age.”
Well this sure as hell isn’t incriminating! Nothing to see here.
Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, was fired Wednesday from her job as a prosecutor in the Manhattan US Attorney’s office.
REP. @rokhanna.bsky.social: “Trump is getting ratioed on Truth Social by his own base.” He says they have enough Republican support to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
22 years later he would be running our country with near-total impunity. 🇺🇸
I didn’t start out thinking there was some genuinely incriminating info about Trump in the DOJ files on Epstein but I’m definitely changing my mind!
I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Look at it. This is where we are now and this will become a routine thing to see until it escalates and the gas is replaced by bullets. Do not turn away from this. Look at it. Let it sear into your memory as a warning and a promise that state power will only grow more brutal until we stop it.

So EPA director Lee Zeldin says they are going to investigate the inane weather manipulation conspiracies in order to "restore trust." The Epstein flap shows that If he tells the truth he will be vilified as a deep state puppet. So, l have to assume he'll just tell them what they want to hear.
Asked if he'll endorse Zohran Mamdani, Democratic congressman Gregory Meeks of New York replies: "I'm not sure yet."
