America’s affordability crunch is real — and worse under Trump on.ft.com/4pngIJ1 | opinion

From 400-year-old globes to cosmic funeral shrouds, how the Osher Map Library in Maine shows people that maps aren't just for navigation — but windows into history, culture, and how we see the world. n.pr/44Ognqv

Police Chief Brian O’Hara has delivered a blunt message to his department: If an officer witnesses ICE agents using illegal force and fails to step in, they will be fired. 👏 👏 👏

Remind me which side stokes violence again.

Straight-up evil‼️ Megyn Kelly on the boat strikes in Venezuela: “I really do kind of not only want to see them killed in the water… but I’d really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so that they lose a limb and bleed out a little.”

anyway my answer to every single person who wants armed conflict is no you don’t sometimes it is the only option but it it sure worth exploring everything else before you get there because it is always, always bad

I got your point, but trump winning either election will always remain the low. We did this to ourselves and didn’t learn a damn thing.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

So Grand Jury said no to a Tish James indictment and now, a Judge disables a future Comey indictment. Speaks volumes about how overtly retributive ( and wholly without merit) these cases were ..

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the POS 34x convicted felon, DEADLY INSURRECTIONIST, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Donald Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

This is really good.

Note: I assume Richman wrote to Jocelyn Ballantine bc she was one of the prosecutors with whom he worked in 2019 and 2020 on the original warrants/privilege claims. Thus far, William Fitzpatrick blamed EARLIER failures for the recent 4A/AC violations.

Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom was fatally shot in Washington, D.C., while Air Force Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe was seriously wounded. Trump says the deployments are necessary to fight crime, but others disagree. n.pr/44aRgxY

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen. Help us move the needle!

excited to award my kids the Burger King Peace Prize this weekend

Everything so stupid, also the worst person in the Nuzzi scandal got to keep his cabinet appointment

Could this be any more immoral?

This could probably be done with simple legislation. Article 3 says almost nothing about how the Supreme Court operates. It mentions that a chief justice will exist, but that’s about it. There are essentially no constitutional rules about how they hear or decide cases.

Trump will die before the full realization of American fascism is reached. These are the birth pangs. It will get so much worse unless we do something. We should and we must. Take stock of what this feels like, how unacceptable this is. Devote yourself to fighting it.

🤮

It’s a huge deal. Usually you have to spend money to earn Kohl cash.

Ah yes, a Stephen Miller essay that rends its hair-shirt about supposed "civilizational collapse" in Europe while openly cheering on the largest land invasion of Europe since World War II, totally makes sense and is definitely not the product of a creepy goblinesque weirdo jerking off to Mein Kampf

On left: President Trump Statement Sept. 2, 2025: "The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in international waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States." On right: (Under penalty of law) military leaders told Congress headed to Suriname.

#Pinks #ProudBlue Child Separation is in full swing. Where are these kids actually being taken and what’s going to happen to them? There is no oversight or accountability. What’s happening to the children?!?! www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Better than 50% chance there is no FIFA Peace Prize next year and this was a one-off to make the orange toddler happy.

The show is up and it’s SPICY! Ft. @danlamothe.bsky.social on leaving the pentagon, @annamerlan.bsky.social on the new pentagon press corps and Laura Poitras on her new movie “Cover Up.” Oh and pod bonus @micahloewinger.bsky.social spoke with Cam Higby about his new role. pca.st/episode/f23f...

Hmmm....

Nearly 600 calls were released this week from the catastrophic July 4 flash flooding that swamped Kerr County, TX, killing more than 130 people and turning a national holiday into a tragedy. Callers were terrified and desperate, and some did not survive. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I’m setting the betting line that there will now be at least 25 different organizations that present Trump with a peace prize in 2026.

Care to wager how Trump's handpicked court will rule? I am embarrassed to carry a U.S. passport now. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is truly disgusting

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT

The Trump administration has ordered at least 20 strikes on boats near Venezuela, killing over 85 people. These strikes are patently unlawful — just like Secretary Hegseth’s alleged order on September 2 to kill any survivors. Killing people with no due process is murder. Full stop.

Netflix is planning to buy Warner Bros for $72 billion, allowing it to acquire its major competitor HBO Max. This corporate monopoly will be great for Netflix’s executives and a raw deal for everyone else. Lina Khan explains the danger of corporate concentration.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

"He's a disturbed dude... If you're thirsting over the idea that you can cane somebody because they're here illegally, then you need to go get help." Sam Stein and Tim Miller torch Phil Mickelson for his rant against illegal immigrants. lnk.thebulwark.com/48hSWZ2?utm_...

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

I am taking the next few days off from writing to prepare for a Supreme Court argument. If you want to support Democracy Docket during my pause, here is there link. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Why are the richest people the biggest heartless dicks to the people in desperate circumstances? You will have to face your creator someday who clearly said “what you do to the least of these you do to me” I used to like Phil. Saudi sellout

Rep. Crockett’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Texas’s 2026 Map

I suspect you have to be quite racist to stand out as "the racist guy" at a boys public school of the 1980s.

👏👏👏 THIS. ENTIRE. THREAD. Take a bow @denisedwheeler.bsky.social for yet another deep dive reveal of a broadly unknown and under-covered yet important story in the main stream media. Thank you for all that you do to educate us. 🙏
