Remember that. Rolex invited him, not the USTA.
I like writing, whiskey, politics, and sports. I deplore the American fascist government. Oh, and I'm the world's worst Buddhist.

They will have to push it back again (3PM, maybe), unless they want to leave half the crowd outside or force play to occur while thousands are filing in. Why does he have to ruin everything?
Normal fucking country
. What else is trump hiding? Where is the media? .
It's feel like we're counting down to the first mass killing of US citizens by the US military.
There should be an ad hoc emergency conference of the states and Illinois should convene it. Not because it'd have any legal power, of course, but because there should be a united front in the form of a body able to speak with their combined voice, a coordinating committee if you prefer.
Putting politics over safety for NASA — just like he has done with air travel.
Sadly, logic and facts have little to do with GOP policy.
Big Resistance event coming in October.
This protest is larger than his inauguration. 🤣
“The president’s commissioning of the U.S. military to kill alleged drug smugglers adds a terrifying dimension to this misuse of the armed forces for law enforcement purposes.” thehill.com/opinion/judi...
Stand up and fight hard for democracy! In court. In the media. In peaceful protests. Together we must use our voices and our platforms to protect the constitutional rights of everyone, the rule of law in all circumstances, and free and fair elections in 2026.
Boo him into oblivion
Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters. That’s how you convert a democracy into something else. Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.
When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable.
Trump’s “answers for autism”will be announced in 2 weeks, just after Mexico pays for the wall and the GOP healthcare plan is released.

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.
“Don’t boo me at a tennis match.” —Guy who insists he’s crushing it as president.
I didn’t expect this level of directness and “vulgarity” from you, Bill. It’s exactly what the situation calls for and I 100% approve.
TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
We only need to flip two more Republicans to force a House vote on releasing the Epstein files. Help us put these billboards up in more GOP districts across the country and keep the pressure on Republicans to stop Trump’s cover-up and release ALL the Epstein files: secure.actblue.com/donate/epste...
Front page of @cnn.com. The Powerball jackpot, a lunar eclipse, and a 102-year-old climbing Mount Fuji, but... Not a word about the president of the United States posting "Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR" and declaring war on an American city. Normal, right, CNN?
Thousands march to the White House united in our demand. We want federal forces out of DC Now!! Free DC! Free DC! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC
My undefeated winning streak vs Covid was broken after 5.5 years about two weeks ago. I’ve completed a course of Paxlovid. Still can’t fully shake the sore throat, cough, and congestion. But sure, it’s just the flu…

He seeks to rule by decree because he cannot govern within the law.
Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."
Obviously, if you're at the Open and see any protests, be sure to film them and put them on social media.
Department of Defense Gulf of Mexico Fascist GOP These are simple facts.
What the actual fuck. US Tennis Association: “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage.”
“Vaccines that are proven by science and have been working effectively for decades are deadIy but guns are safe.” -the entire right wing
if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war
This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC
78,000 manufacturing jobs lost in 2025. Turns out when you tariff each raw input of a product, it compounds into making the cost of production and selling of the product non viable! Who knew! www.usatoday.com/story/money/...
“Trump’s former surgeon general urges president to fire RFK Jr over vaccine policy and CDC chaos.” Trump won’t because he wiII never admit that he’s wrong.
Shameful. Autocratic. Treasonous. UnAmerican. (If that still means anything)

Another miserable jobs report. Only 22,000 jobs added, well below expectations of 75,000. Unemployment rate rises to 4.3%. Hope Trump’s new BLS statistician didn’t get too comfortable.
Yet another WEAK jobs report.
BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.
Florida’s move on vaccine mandates will lead to avoidable illnesses and deaths.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
There is no democratic justification for withholding these files. This is a coverup.
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
Spread the word. We need to send a message and we must show up in record numbers.
Yet another GOP lawmaker was blasted by his own constituents for supporting President Trump’s agenda. This time, it was Barry Moore of Alabama, a U.S. representative and Senate candidate. He slipped out the back door as the audience chanted, “Shame!” trib.al/lVT3W8n
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.
As Americans observe Labor Day, workers across the country are taking to the streets to protest President Donald Trump and other billionaires who, they say, are taking power away from the working class.
I hope Ruby and Shaye Moss end up owning it.
Remembering when the NYT went on a weeks-long bender covering a decades-old real estate deal the Clintons were involved in, in which they *lost money*.
From bridges to town halls, ordinary people are resisting Trump, refusing to stay silent, and showing that democracy lives in our communities—not just in D.C. Every small act matters in the fight for our democracy. #Velshi
Every single US city needs to do this, and enforce it.
This week brought wins on all fronts: Catelin Drey flipped a Trump district in Iowa and broke the GOP’s supermajority in the state senate. A federal judge protected Kilmar Abrego Garcia from deportation. And yes, even ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is about to be empty. Not bad for one week.
Hell of an obituary.
Is it good when the proof of life pictures seem somewhat inconclusive?
So much for all you libtards spreading the rumor that President Trump died, as he's clearly pictured here today out golfing like a BOSS and healthier than ever! #DonaldTrump
Americans are begging for Democratic leadership to get off the mat and back into the fight. If you’re a political leader in this country and are not prepared to fight with both hands, not prepared to make “good trouble”, then perhaps you should step aside and make space for those who will. #Velshi.
Lifelong Democrat here — welcome, Joe. I appreciate your leadership in the fight against fascism. We’ll sort out our differences later after we’ve worked together to restore democracy.
👇
Just the collective *thought* of him being dead was enough to brighten my day a little lol
Democrats should be holding rallies and press events constantly. The apathy in the face of all this is astounding. Do more! GAvin Newsom style every damn DAY!
On Labor Day, we rise together. While billionaires buy up our government, we’re coming together to demand a country that puts workers first. Find an event near you: www.mobilize.us/mayd...
#NYC baseball coach confronts ICE child predators. “There's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids." www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
But if you have to give him one idea…
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going". Harriet Tubman We can't give up, folks. Take breaks when needed but keep fighting.
ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3
Agreed. At any rate,nice to meet ya.
I was literally thinking about the white flag of surrender! Even typed it and then backspaced over it. We need to be mutuals.
I swear to god — the more I reflect on where we are today, the more I realize we didn’t do enough to truly hold to account the slavers and secessionists after the civil war.
Unreal. Own the libs by brandishing the flag of racist losers.
Why bother with city mayors who are ELECTED by the people? Or state governments who are ELECTED by their citizens? Or for that matter, congresspersons who are ELECTED by their constituents? We don’t need that democracy shit when Nazis like Tom Homan can fix it all for us, whether we like it or not.

As someone who has his own “Uncle Jon,” my guess as to where he’s at is standing squarely on the side of the tyrant.
Thirty years from now posts are gonna be "why does a banana cost a million dollars" or "the hill cannibals get feistier every day" or "protest against the Moon Prison 3PM next Muskday here's how to poison the corporate nanodrones cops use to explode protesters" ha ha jk I give it three years at best
We all want our families and communities to be healthy, but the MAHA agenda pushes junk science, like ending vaccine guidance that has saved millions of lives. Now, RFK Jr. fired the CDC director for following evidence-backed science. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...
CDC officials gave up their jobs to send out a "bat signal" to us. One said: "If one of us retired, it would have been a blip. When the three of us do it together, it’s more powerful and just shows the state of our agency." From Dr. Demetre Daskalakis donmoynihan.substack.com/p/your-gover...
This is unconscionable. Trump is a vindictive, cruel, and evil little man. He has brought out the worst in America.
RFK Jr. embraces lies & conspiracies– he is working to take lifesaving vaccines away from kids & families. The firing of the CDC Director, & the resignations of top doctors, who refused his plans, show how extreme he is. Millions of lives are at stake. RFK Jr. must be fired.
RFK is gutting the CDC. Firing experts and sidelining science won’t protect your kids from the next pandemic—it will put them at risk. apnews.com/article/cdc-...
Secretary Kennedy’s complete disregard for facts and basic science have disqualified him from leading the nation’s health agency. Secretary Kennedy is clearly unfit for the job, and he must resign immediately. My full statement: castor.house.gov/news/documen...

70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter. We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.
In the last week alone, top officials at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Federal Reserve and the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) have been shown the door amid clashes with Trump and other top officials. | Analysis Read more: https://cnn.it/4oYbXG0
I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
LATEST: Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook sues President Trump, beginning a landmark legal battle over Trump's "unprecedented and illegal" efforts to remove her from the central bank.
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.
And who made that $250M? This is fraud, waste, and undeniable cruelty - it’s the way of the new GOP.
A quarter-billion to build and useless after 60 days. All a spectacle. An expensive, cruel spectacle.👇
