Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Excellente conversation téléphonique avec la PM Mette Frederiksen du Danemark. Seuls le Groenland et le Danemark peuvent déterminer l’avenir du Groenland. Nous avons réaffirmé notre soutien à la souveraineté et à l'intégrité territoriale et discuté du renforcement de l’Arctique.

Work on the Hudson Tunnel Project stops in 4 days unless the Trump administration unfreezes the funds Congress approved for the Gateway Program. With 95,000 jobs on the line, it's time to keep New Jerseyans at work.

Washington Post noted, custodial work like that being done by the National Guard troops normally would have been performed by National Park Service employees. But that service was already short staffed when the administration slashed through the federal workforce. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Vietnamese robusta was once considered cheap & low quality; thanks to the specialty coffee movement & those who assess coffee within it, bitter & bold robustas have been valorized; hence Vietnam today produces high-quality robustas to sell to discerning consumers like us. slate.com/life/2025/08...

if Trump’s illegal firing of Cook is allowed to stand, “the implications will be profound and disastrous. The US will be well on its way to becoming Turkey, where an authoritarian ruler imposed his crackpot economics on the central bank, and inflation soaring to 80% open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Since taking office for a second term, Trump has sought to increase US investments in several key industries, from steel to technology, prompting questions about whether Republicans were drifting from the “small government” platform they are often associated with. www.aljazeera.com/economy/2025...

Wouldn’t you love to see Teddy Roosevelt school RFK Jr? In the Jungle? As of July 1, the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) program has reduced surveillance to just two pathogens: salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) www.joemygod.com/2025/08/cdc-...

Portland Police yesterday: 10 police cars and an ambulance responding to a situation that involved one homeless woman who was screaming outside of the Architectural Heritage Society. 8 officers were a part of holding her down and restraining her. Didn’t see what prompted this.

a bit late but the whole jillian michaels thing last week gave me an excuse to talk a bit about the economy of slavery in detail youtu.be/pRs2Xu1FWR4

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

In solidarity with Kevin Sorbo and Scott Baio stating they are refusing any acting jobs in California, I hereby refuse to play defense for the Colorado Avalanche in the upcoming season! I will also not be pitching for the Rockies this year... HOLD THE LINE, BOYS!👍

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

Baltimore is a great city. Trump is a racist. Who rapes children. Release the Epstein files. Punish the criminal in the White House.

Seattle Times today: Sunday will see a high of 90 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Seattle branch of the National Weather Service predicts. The record high for Aug. 24 is 88 degrees, set in 1982.

“the lost cause” promoted an outlandishly misleading account in which slavery was irrelevant as the cause of the Civil War & benevolent because Christianity & plantation life benefited African-descended people who were otherwise unfit for civilization. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

School is going to start. More kids on streets that are teeming with military vehicles and troops carrying Sig Sauer pistols that fire on their own randomly. I feel bad for the people of DC and especially the kids. www.wonkette.com/p/round-and-...

Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.

Got to see the West Virginia State Police train on tear gas. They didn’t contain it. Didn’t wear real gear. They looked scared, though they were training alone on a blacktop. Proper deployment of weapons means making sure you are not hurting yourself or others. www.jezebel.com/ice-is-using...

This creates some very weird incentives. Suddenly my neighbor goes through my trash counting tampons & looking for pill packaging. Steals my phone to get information. But, it really gets in the way of people supporting their neighbors. Helping their families. www.joemygod.com/2025/08/texa...

These people aren’t trained to with in dense environments with many distractions and perceived targets. Professional federal school shootings. That’s a conservative outcome. www.joemygod.com/2025/08/ice-...

Hating Portland is so boring. George HW Bush called us Little Beirut in 1990. DTJ is not nearly so clever. Also, he has never done anything heroic in his whole life. We won’t even throw our vegan sandwiches. They cost $18. I gotta think the US is out of troops. www.joemygod.com/2025/08/juni...

I didn’t know they had to pass the hat for medicine in Alberta.

a thought i have reading @clintsmithiii.bsky.social’s wonderful piece is that one reason the administration wants to erase any mention of the worst of our past is because it is intent on recapitulating those atrocities www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump said that “African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago, please.’” The strongman has his tells. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Trump sounds very tired. He also has this weird bruise on his hand that is covered up with waxy paste. He literally looks weak. Also, he’s appeasing a murderous regime. And a women who knows exactly how many children he raped.

Jon asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants and not mass shootings
