The most important thing to know is that the named was changed from the Dept of War to the Dept of Defense in 1949 BY CONGRESS in an amend to the National Security Act of 1947. And it can only be changed back by an act of Congress. Not by a Presidential “re-brand.” www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

Because Trump is a total loser. Wants to be accepted by the autocrat crowd but they won’t let him join in, they just laugh at him and make fun of him. He’s the kid who’s the most unpopular.
Endless arrests, kidnappings, concentration camps, deportations to parts unknown. Where does it end? apple.news/APSM1cqvCRpm...
They threaten they bluster they lie. They think they’re all powerful, can do anything they want but they’re completely incompetent and I’m afraid of what might happen. Kennedys performance yesterday, Hegseth blowing up boats, Noem kidnapping innocent people, and Trump thinks he’s king of the world.

Department of Defense is being rebranded, apparently. While the turd 💩 is busy renaming things he needs to change the name of the country since we are no longer United. He only likes the Republicans, at least most of them. And so he’s not the President of the whole country. Just parts of it.

Bad news: Appeals Court Says ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Detention Center Can Stay Open The immigration detention center in Florida can remain open and the government can resume sending detainees there, after a federal appeals court ruled against a lower court’s decision shutting down the facility.

“The only motive for opposing this bill is to conceal wrongdoing.” And Trump opposes it. What other explanation could there be?
At least two of the survivors yesterday said they are Republicans who voted for Trump. At least one said they’re not accusing him. Knowing he would not hesitate to throw someone under the bus if he’d benefit personally from doing so, what is he hiding? Who’s he protecting? Why?
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
Trump's cover-up is failing. But that raises one big, beautiful question....

Kamala wouldn’t have flown fighter jets over the press conference of Epstein and Maxwell’s abuse survivors… She’d welcomed them in the White House to tell their stories..
Nothing says "I'm a sexual predator and I'm in the Epstein files" louder than a military flyover while the Epstein victims are speaking.
That orange motherf*cker is guilty ‘The truth is Epstein had a free pass.’ This Epstein survivor said he bragged about his close connections to powerful people — like Trump — who looked the other way. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
"We know the names. Many of us were abused by them," Ms. Phillips said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. "Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know who were regularly in the Epstein world." Bury them ALL !!!!! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The military struck a supposed drug carrying vessel from Venezuela. The courts said Trump can’t deport people from Venezuela because we’re not at war . . . Would he actually start a war so he could deport hundreds of people (who were absolutely never eating cats and dogs)?
What we’re witnessing in this country is textbook authoritarianism. Trump thrives on targeting those who are least able to defend themselves, exerting control and cruelty to tighten his grip on power. To think it ends here is naive. We cannot let this go on any further.

So the big announcement scheduled for this afternoon was apparently just to tell us he’s not dead after all.
President Trump Is Alive. The Internet Was Convinced Otherwise. In the world of presidential health, distrust and speculation run so rampant that even Mr. Trump’s online assurance that he was fine was immediately explained away as part of a cover-up.

Trump’s Most Fateful Teardown Is Happening Now www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o... While people look forward to Trump’s demise, he’s really just the puppet. He’s not that clever. While Trump thrives on the wreckage he leaves in his wake, he is guided by Russell Vought and Stephen Miller

The Fourth Amendment guarantees “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.” A violation is when “by means of physical force or a show of authority, his freedom of movement is restrained.” United States v Mendenhall
Common Examples of Fourth Amendment Violations There are many examples of Fourth Amendment violations, like police searching someone's home without a warrant or conducting an extensive search of a vehicle during a routine traffic stop without probable cause. ICE is in violation constantly.
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:

Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
The party of “family values” is attacking our kids.
He is having a huge military parade for his funeral. He's going to get the Nobel prize posthumously
I wonder if it bothers trump at all that so many people were hoping he’d actually died. Looks like he’s well enough to play golf, though. . . Maybe he’s just been sitting on his golden throne watching tv all this time.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
She was a traitor then, is a traitor now and she will always be in the future.
Yes.
ICE is so depraved they arrested immigrants (and indigenous people) fighting the wild fires in WA state!! Seriously, they arrested people fighting to save lives while they were putting out wild fires!! How embarrassingly stupid!!

Of course no telling what might happen but judging by how the town halls have been going, what if the redistricting backfires and enough of the republicans vote to get rid of their representatives?
Appeals Court Finds Many Tariffs Were Issued Illegally A federal appeals court found that many of President Trump’s tariffs were issued illegally, upholding an earlier decision which ruled against the use of an international emergency powers law as the basis for waging its global trade war.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
Not only did ICE pull the firefighters off the job while they’re battling a huge fire, they pulled them off the job for three hours, had them all show their ids, harassed Native American volunteers, arrested a couple of firefighters and took them away without letting them call their families
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern democrats and republicans alike.
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.
We stand with Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker and every other American willing to stand up to fascism and take back our country.
Why should anyone believe anything he says? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
Well he did say the military was brought in to DC to clean up the streets . . . Just imagine being in the National Guard, being pulled away from your job, home, family, just to pick up the trash and sweep the gutters in the nation's capital
