Doesn't look like Trump
Big Grift from the Big Grifters

Your Labor Day reminder that Trump doesn't actually care about working people. Take it from me, a former Secretary of Labor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARL5VvYJUe8
He sure is
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Who voted for Tarrifs? Who voted to end USAID? Who voted to give him power over the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian? Right. The American People...who were WARNED ALL THIS CRAP WOULD HAPPEN.
NEW: Man who wants Nobel Peace Prize creates Department of War.
Why is our government deporting children? They are *children*. Are we going to say these are hardened criminals who threaten national security, ffs?
Telling the truth! Release the Epstein files.
Fatality.
Loading children up to fly them to Guatemala without a hearing to find out if they can be cared for by relatives in USA and whether they will be greatly harmed by the Deportation. These Trump MAGAS sink so low on the morality scale there is no bottom.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Susan Collins shamed at ribbon cutting ceremony for not having held a town hall in 20 years.
“CDC hasn’t reached out to us locally,” Katherine Wells, the public health director in Lubbock, Texas, wrote in a Feb. 5 email exchange with a colleague two weeks after children with measles were hospitalized in Lubbock. “My staff feels like we are out here all alone,” she added.“
I wrote about the manifestly illegal attempt to fire Lisa Cook 1/ paulkrugman.substack.com/p/in-the-mat...
"It is without a doubt the most illegal search I've ever seen in my life," U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said from the bench. "I'm absolutely flabbergasted at what has happened. A high school student would know this was an illegal search."
Americans broadly hate all of this, and we all gotta remember that when it feels like things are spinning out of control
If your government subscribes to the conservative belief that you deserve nothing, then nothing is what you will get. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
If you don't see them sending in troops to the crime ridden red state cities, then what we have is a Fascist takeover of blue states.
I am America, now, it's your turn.
Important!
This isn't something that you "mock" It's not funny. It's not the sign of just a dumb-ass in the White House. This is another example of an American world view where negotiations with fascism is considered okay. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
UPDATE: Lisa Cook says she's not going anywhere and Trump's bid to fire her is baseless. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
🚨BREAKING: In a landmark victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state Legislature’s gerrymandered congressional map and reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I hold every member of Congress who supports this monster accountable for this too. And that includes the Democrats who keep supporting Israel regardless of what Netanyahu does.
More war crimes. When the fuck will they get Netanyahu out of there and in to prison?
It’s like Israel fails to realize - even if they do capture every single Hamas Operative, the damage they’ve done will create a new crop of terrorists - for generations to come.
This has the be fixed. It’s a violation of the second amendment Donald Trump Can Seize Your State’s National Guard - Here’s Why It Matters youtu.be/AHNPxMSj6qA
Where would you start?
"I" gave the Governor of Maryland money? I'm pretty sure those were taxpayer dollars. Your money. My money. Not King Trump's money.
I got it: Russia gets Alaska, Ukraine keeps what they had after 2014...War ends. Genius play Trump. The Art of the Deal.
Wow!
kutv.com/news/local/u...
I'll say it: Trump is trying to destroy our country.
Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state. Illinois has long worked with federal law enforcement to tackle crime, but we won't let a dictator impose his will.
I want to laugh.
Epstein files-lets see them
Impeach him again---all the way to guilty in the Senate!
Sarah, a victim/survivor of Epstein/Maxwell, & co-conspirators tells all. Listen. Feel. Believe. Demand #Justice4Survivors. #WhereIsTheList
“Do you really want government officials getting involved in cultural institutions, determining the content?” @GillianHTurner out here making actual sense on Fox News — better hope the whitewasher-in-chief wasn’t watching 😬
I am America!
I moved to DC in 1986, when there were still visible sign of the 1968 riots, and I live a few miles outside of town now. I can honestly say I have never been more frightened than I am now. The crimes committed at the WH take away more than property. They threaten democracy.
A must listen
Such a liar.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
Liberation Day is coming!
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Bad stuff
This is TRUTH.
Yes
“The purge of dedicated, patriotic FBI officials like Special Agent Evans is an absolute disgraceful moment in history,” Zaid said in a statement. www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-...
Exclusive: CDC Director Susan Monarez met with its vaccine-focused center to talk about yesterday’s shooting. I listened to a recording. Scientists and officials are shaken & pointing fingers at RFK Jr. Many said his vilification and misinfo turned them into targets. www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...
Here are the still images. Please share them widely.
Impeach
@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "I led the effort to build the IL Holocaust Museum. What I know is that in 53 days, Nazis tore down the constitutional republic in Germany in the 1930s. It doesn't take much. We're seeing pieces of that sort of authoritarian activity happening right now in this country."
Yes it is. They have no intention of losing.
The mid-decade Texas gerrymander is just the warmup act for everything that Republicans are going to do to rig the midterms.
timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine...
If it’s the Golden Age & everything is great & the economy is booming & Trump has ended all wars & slayed inflation & everyone is happy & drug prices are down & his approval is at 71% & everyone hates Dems, why would they need to do mid-decade gerrymandering to hold the House?
A strategy meeting to discuss messaging so the MAGA influencers and Fox can push out their propaganda to help pull off one of the biggest and obvious cover-ups in history. This isn’t a Dept of Justice, it’s a Dept of Coverups.
“.. Sure, we’ve seen an explosion in AI capital spending in recent years. But this increasingly looks like the only game in town for growth. Housing, consumption and government spending — nearly 90% of the economy — are now stagnant at best.” @conorsen.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
He was handed the absolute strongest post-Covid economy in the industrialized world. And he’s singlehandedly fucked it up. And eventually even many of his most diehard voters will realize it. And it’ll be a painful realization for them.
Casar: "Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in Texas history. And the two of them are working together on the most corrupt scheme I've ever seen. What they're trying to do is insulate Trump from any accountability for his crimes."
Schiff: "On the good news side, Trump just got a third Air Force 1. He's building a $200m ballroom at the White House. So his personal economy is doing really well. But for average Americans, their prices are going up, their job prospects are going down ... "

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.
More of this, please.
Talarico and Texas Dems break quorum to Halt Gerrymandering Vote.
Total capitulation. What a shame.
Fighting hard!

Everything for sale
how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...
The price of 1 lb of ground beef is now higher than the federal minimum hourly wage…
Norfolk Southern & Union Pacific announced a merger yesterday. If approved, the combined railway giant would control 40% of rail freight in the US. In 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago. The monopolization of America continues.
Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"
This.
Demand a town hall now.. They have time!
In a nutshell.
This was already the least productive Congress in history—and now it’s shutting down entirely because Mike Johnson is terrified of Trump (and what might be in the Epstein files). The GOP’s contempt for the American people couldn’t be more obvious.
Using military bases as sites for immigrant detention..How fascist can we get?....all the way it seems.
Trump, around the Juneteenth holiday, said there are too many federal holidays, so watch for him to call for Congress to end the MLK and Juneteenth holidays, calling them woke or DEI. A lifelong racist like Trump can never change his stripes.
Trump’s got his priorities in all the wrong places.
And by the time these things are implemented and the effects are truly felt, the democrats will be in office and blamed for it all.

The first redistricting proposals for TX are in. This is what cracking and packing looks like. This is an intensive gerrymander. See how the districts spiral in fingers into the cities. Lizzie Fletcher's district TX7 becomes almost entirely rural.
Wow. Gerrymandered. The only way they can win.
“We got a beating for breakfast. We got a beating for lunch. We got a beating for dinner.” The horror stories are already emerging from the Venezuelan deportees' time in El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Rural Republicans are scared of rural Democrats, and they don’t like folks like me poking my head into rural places. They want rural progressives to feel alienated and disengaged. They want them to feel hopeless. I am chasing away the boogeyman at each stop. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
While it's absolutely worth celebrating their freedom from CECOT, we can't overlook the fact that more than 60 of these men had pending asylum cases.
