Trump’s DOJ may charge former FBI Director James Comey with lying to Congress, @marcelias.bsky.social fires back: “Honor your oath or resign.”

ouch

Was not expecting this...

A GOP-appointed federal judge tossed out Trump's lawsuit against the NYT: "“As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is … not a protected platform to rage against an adversary." www.lawdork.com/p/judge-toss...

Oh. My. God. Profoundly twisted framing from @nytimes.com The casual reader of this hed and subhed would have exactly zero inkling that this is likely corrupt or even illegal or unconstitutional. Euphemistic to the point of absurdity.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

periodic reminder that there are better sources of recipes and your local drugstore will sell you a book of crossword puzzles for five bucks

The receipts.

The hypocrisy from Trump's FCC Chair is staggering but unsurprising. It should be clear by now that to MAGA, protecting freedom of speech was always secondary to wielding the power to punish anyone who questions this regime.

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

👀

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Exactly this

Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.

A Missouri Republican claimed he wanted to see Trump’s letter to Epstein, then recoiled when offered proof. MAGA loyalty now means shielding predators by denying evidence even when it is in front of them.

"Complicate Trump's sweeping denials." Throw away your thesaurus, #BrokenTimes. Tell the truth. He's LYING. You are complicit in his lies.

In the story, the #BrokenTimes wonders at Trump's magical talent to "evade controversies that have dogged him" and "pivot the national conversation." And how does he do that? Because news media help him with headlines like the one on this story.

JUST NOW: Donald Trump is booed by the crowd as he arrives at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the US Open men’s final

If Trump can’t handle a New York crowd he should stay the hell out of NY. #USTA www.nytimes.com/athletic/660...

Whoever thought this up deserves a medal.

not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

Am I the only one who can’t follow the flight of the ball with that heavy half court shadow on Ashe? Seems like a half closed roof could fix that. #USOpen #TennisSky

What did Putin think of the Alaska summit? Well, he just sent drones and missiles to hit an apartment building, a shopping mall and the headquarters of the European Union in Kyiv. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

How did Leylah and Venus team up? tl;dr At the last minute, Bouzkova had to bow out as LAF's partner. When Leylah got the news, she was dining with her team. So what to do? Most of the possibles they thought of were already paired up. Then a big smile creased her Dad's face. Why not Venus?

OMG Venus and Leylah team up for dubs? How did this gift to tennis come about? @carolebouchard.bsky.social

“This kristallnacht is just Hitler trying to grab some headlines and make you look away from the rising cost of beer all over Germany” - how Democrats sound

Indeed. It's hard to see NYT describing this stuff as an "uneasy mix of retribution and law enforcement," or as a "power play," or any other of 100 different mealy-mouthed euphemisms they keep using.

Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The Attorney General wanted a response by today—so here it is: Stop targeting our cities to cover up your administration’s failures.

Europe gets so much grief for division and weakness. But its recent handling of Trump, its unity (w/Starmer), smart coordination (w/Zelensky) and inclusivity (w/Meloni) show it at its best. Nobody in 🇫🇷 will credit Macron, but he has played no small part

"Some might have thought it was a burden for me to come right off the campaign trail in a national campaign and go straight to knocking on doors, to travelling throughout a region of 56,000 square kilometres," Poilievre said. Actually, no one thought that. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc... A lovely memoir.

‘1984’ is upon us

This @pkrugman.bsky.social chat with @gregsargent.bsky.social is a searing indictment of trump's reckless trade policy & the press. "To cast this as a win for Trump, that’s an editorial decision. I’m sure that wasn’t the reporter’s idea of how to portray it." 1/ newrepublic.com/article/1985...

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course? Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵
