Atleast AP had an article about it
The President of the United States went essentially completely missing for four days. Just looked at their apps. Nothing about it in the Washington Post, nothing about it in the NYT. The press has been failing us for years but this is completely ridiculous.
That's cool, I didn't know we could do that
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trumpās deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.
"We're conducting a special military operation in the Lake of Fire to rescue the President's soul"
Trump continues to hide as rumors swirl; Xi, Putin, and Modi meet and send a message to the U.S.; Trump freaks over a court decision on tariffs; Epstein survivors prepare to speak out; and more. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast at 8pm ET/5p PT!
I'm a laborer, I got the day off. Talk to your boss, not your governor lmao
Over Labor Day weekend, the Trump administration attempted to remove Guatemalan children who had come to the U.S. alone and were living in shelters or with foster care families in the U.S. https://to.pbs.org/4gcaHeI
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while peopleās lives were destroyed in the name of āsaving money,ā
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
Hereās where and when protests against President Donald Trump and billionaire-influence over politics are expected to take place on Monday, organized by the AFL-CIO and dozens of partner organizations.
Workers over billionaires. People over profits. This Labor Day: Massachusetts says no more attacks on workersā rights.
Boston is a union town.

Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trumpās loss in the 2020 election, has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security in which sheāll help oversee election security.
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.
Targeting firefighters while they work. Dragging children from their beds in the dead of night. MAGA will go to any length. Weāve said it before, eventually the monster comes for us all!

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Not a very long path from "Why wouldn't you want the regime to deploy federal troops in your city when it reduces carjackings?" to "Why would you be opposed to the erection of internment camps for deviants when it reduces crime?" And a good chunk of mainstream media will just follow along.
The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kidsā futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
nobody has seen the president in three days [burping and rubbing my president shaped tummy] thatās crazy
We want to apologize if it feels like weāve been venting a lot lately. Itās just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
President Donald Trump is attempting to single-handedly block nearly $5 billion in foreign aid that Congress has already approved. He is doing it by invoking a little-known power play called a pocket rescission, effectively cutting lawmakers out of the process.
The Transportation Department on Friday canceled $679 million in federal funding for a dozen offshore wind projects, the latest attack by the Trump administration on the reeling U.S. offshore wind industry. https://to.pbs.org/45HtATc
BREAKING: Appellate court invalidates Trumpās tariffs, Republicans run from re-election following recent special election losses, an uprising at Alligator Alcatraz was met with tear gas and baton beatings, and more. The news you missed: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
If he tries to take over Boston with his federalized troops, will we have our own national guard protecting our citizens from them?
When are we going to stop funding this madness? We pay so, so much more to the feds than they're worth, and so much more than we get back. Using those funds for our own state would be incredible.

Every Judge can tell him no, every person can sue him, every state can offer their stances, but the only people who could hold him accountable he controls. He isn't going anywhere without force. Ever since he released the 6thers, I knew he chose violence to stay in power. He chose it last time too
The dirty, crime-ridden South Station that Donald Trump wants to take over:
62 years ago, Dr. King led the March on Washington with giants like John Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, and so many others. If youāve ever wondered what youād be doing during the Civil Rights Movement, this is your test. (1/2)
One thing that really hits you when you're directly affected by gun violence in schools is that there's nowhere to hide. Public, private, religious, whatever - unless you're going to homeschool your kids, we live in a world where they're at risk of something like this happening.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others ā Congress, the courts, the American people ā from having a say or even knowing what heās going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
What if Russia sends sharks with lasers on their heads and they grab onto the windmill at the bottom and then the centrifugal force hurls them onto our territory and then boom, there's laser sharks right on your street, President Trump is very concerned about that and every American should be too
āThe hiring of an election conspiracy theorist with no election knowledge or expertise is the culmination of this reversal,ā said David Becker of the Center for Election Innovation & Research. āDHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies.ā
Well would you look at that, which group does this help? Fascists are great at sowing division, and here we are.
If Bernie Sanders did what Trump just did with Intel, Fox News would be screaming āCOMMUNISM.ā When Trump does it, itās āpatriotism.ā The state is now buying pieces of private industry.
Or they could all actually organize a protest in their districts?
trump's commerce secretary giddy about copying china by taking ownership of private companies..
LEADERSHIP: "Hey everyone! I've organized a protest on this day and location. Come join me!" FAKE LEADERSHIP: "People need to protest more. Do more stuff, people! Get going!"
Usually from the politicians too.

I want to be clear that I support flag burning laws. if you see a Confederate flag, you should be obligated to burn that flag.
Clots and prayers.
They'll literally Weekend at Bernie's this guy for days before they reveal he's dead.
They want us to believe that Trump has bruises on BOTH HANDS from handshaking with his right hand, but his ear healed so perfectly after being shot that there was NO SIGN of it within weeks. Got it.
Current and former FEMA officials are warning Congress that the Trump administrationās policies have undermined the nationās ability to respond to natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina.
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
Reminds me of Queen Elizabeth's hands right before she passed away.
Trumpās militarization of Los Angeles seems to have been just the start of an authoritarian takeover of American cities. This is not leadership. This is a scary, unlawful grab for power, and we should all be deeply concerned.
COLUMN: "Senior officials in some of Americaās closest European allies are quietly fretting about the law enforcement priorities of the Trump administration and even the conduct of the Justice Department, according to four European diplomats who are stationed in Washington," - Ankush Khardori.
He wants to create the conditions of a fight where he is the only one that can win.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like textbook abuser language? Basically, āYou say you donāt want it, but you doā and, āIf I didnāt hit you, Iād be forced to hurt you in a different way. And nobody wants that, right?ā
Q: āAre you prepared to order National Guard troops though into American cities if those governors don't request the federal deployment?ā Trump: āI am.ā
"Our national parks are really the place that preserves our history," Theresa Pierno, the president and CEO of the National Parks Conservation Association, told us last month. "National park rangers are the most beloved and important storytellers in this nation." https://to.pbs.org/458FUKD
Trump on South Korea: "It seems like quite far away -- Alaska. But actually it's right up the little ocean, right up the little Pacific Ocean. It's actually pretty close relatively speaking."
I spent a quarter century being lectured by libertarians and republicans about how minimal government oversight of large companies was radical socialism and if you mentioned nationalizing stuff like telecom for the public good they'd have a six week embolism
Responding to critics decrying his crackdown in Washington, President Donald Trump suggested Monday that āA lot of people are saying, āMaybe we like a dictator.āā https://to.pbs.org/4lJ7Jzq
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Didn't take long to get to this...
Trump: "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator."
Letās be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no senseāitās not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Trumpās āexonerationā from Ghislaine Maxwell blew up ā she cleared everyone in Epsteinās orbit, making the whole thing look rehearsed and unbelievable. Also they want you to forget about Epstein altogether.
Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry has been taken by ICE in Tukwila immigration office for a citizenship interview. He is of Pakistani origin, he's a veteran, and also the husband of Melissa Chaudhry, who's Washingtonās 9th District candidate for Congress. www.kiro7.com/news/local/w...
This is a very weird situation in that it's the first time since FDR the press has a visibly ill, probably dying President -- so the first time in the modern media model -- and they seem completely unequipped to report on it. (also "they like him and want him to rule us like a king" factor, yes)
The fact that this administration is hell bent on punishing Kilmar Abrego Garcia while rewarding Ghislane Maxwell tells you all you need to know about their violent racism and misogyny.
WTF š¤¬ This is happening in Washington, DC
Every blue state's national guard should be at the ready to defend their state from the invasion of federalized troops. That's the reality of where we're at now.
Literally all it would take is Stephen Miller and his ilk to pretend like he was assassinated by an immigrant and it would give them the excuse they want to start flattening cities
Immigrants power Californiaās economy and keep our state moving. Indiscriminately targeting them is not only cruel but illegal, and Californians arenāt buying it.
From the party that brought you "there is no way Trump will get away with an insurrection" & "there is no way Trump will get away with stealing classified documents" comes the third installment: "there is no way Republicans can steal elections".
The Republican Party is just one big child sex trafficking and sexual abuse ring at this point
Before joining the Justice Department this year, attorney Jonathan Gross said Jan. 6 prosecutors were "evil people. They will put you on a cattle car to Auschwitz without batting an eye."
The micro world is incredible. Rotifers, another kind of micro organism, are some of the only creatures with freely rotating body parts

NEWS: Fitch Ratings sees US 2026 Government deficits rising to 7.8% of GDP.
We love ya, Ed. But we don't want you lumped in with other dinosaurs in congress. Pass the torch to someone under 40, we need people who can fight against MAGA for the next decade.
Republicans had a choice: expose child s*x traffickers or protect Trump. They chose Trump. They chose traffickers. They are the party of child s*x trafficking.
The National Guard has been deployed many times historically. Experts say the president's decision to deploy the Guard as a blanket response to crime in D.C. is a departure from its intended mission.
Heās wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how heād do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. Heās using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
Aaron Parnas: Donald Trump woke up today and - Me: FUCK
Atleast Nixon wasn't a billionaire. Imagine how terrible he would have been if he felt untouchable for decades before becoming president
I wish people saw their chance to ask the Prezident a question to be the height of their journalistic career, because it usually is, and it would actually change the world. "Mr. President, this beautiful office perfectly reflects your personality in every way. Why no real gold, though?"
I'm far too Irish and American to understand any kind of love for royalty. Is it kinda like a Kardashian thing, but less influential?
That's why Elon's been working on that brain chip, so Mr Trump can become Mr House but with more failed casinos
Itās very conspicuous rewatching this that Trump is desperately trying to hide the back of his right hand from the camera
BREAKING: We have a major Jeffrey Epstein update. Congressman Robert Garcia tells me the Justice Department gave the House 33,000 documents, but only 1,000 contained NEW information. Spread the word and watch this. They are stonewalling us. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
The issue isnāt that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
The ruling sided with environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe, who had filed a suit alleging that the facility built in the Florida Everglades violated federal environmental laws.
BREAKING: The Department of Justice sent the House the first batch of Epstein files, the DOJ released the Maxwell interview to the public, Trump says he is the nation's chief law enforcement office, and more. We cannot stop talking about Epstein. I won't. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
