Trump is bailing out Argentina’s economy to the tune of $20 billion while our farmers are enduring a crisis that he caused with his tariffs. On top of that, food, housing, health care and electricity costs continue skyrocketing. That’s not putting America first.

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

So many law firm/courtroom dramas would have plots/cases of people fired for BS reasons & and then proceed if that was somehow illegal.

"Speech... it ain't free no more... If you wanna say something nice about the president's thick, yellow hair, or that he can do his makeup better than any broad? That's free. But if you wanna do a joke like, he's so fat he needs two seats on the Epstein jet? That's gonna cost ya."

Reminder: Republicans control all 3 branches of government. If the government shuts down, it WILL be because of Trump.

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Meanwhile Trump and GOP pardon an endless stream of criminals who immediately do more crimes

Sounds like a good case for immediate deportation to El Salvador.

Dems advertising that they are capitulating to threats of violence is not an especially smart plan even on narrow selfpreservation concerns

The right's position on political violence has always been and will always be that it's wrong, unless it happens to people they don't like in which case it's hilarious and awesome

Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.

“Democrats need to let it be known that any and all Trump accomplices who carry out corrupt or illegal actions on his behalf will face accountability later. It’s the only language these authoritarian thugs will ever understand.” newrepublic.com/article/2006...

ROVE: “.. Using Charlie’s murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous. It will further divide and embitter our country. No good thing will come of it.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/they...

Gregory Bovino, leader of Trump’s LA and Chicago raids, personally testified that he saw a protestor strike a Border Patrol agent. The jury did not believe him and the protestor was acquitted. The Trump admin is losing these cases left and right. Their credibility with jurors is virtually nil.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

These deaths are a real feather in the cap of Brian Kilmeade and Fox News.

The anti-vaccine movement is a pseudoscientific assault on public health.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Just so we’re clear, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi were hired to protect powerful pedophile rapists and to cover up their sex trafficking ring because they were hired by one of them to make it all go away. It’s really that simple. Criminals helping criminals.

RIP Robert Redford: The quiet patriotism of this scene has always stuck with me. "I was born in the US, Joubert. I miss it when I'm away too long." "A pity." "I don't think so"

US foreign policy is just "President dispenses favors for bribes", way more than at an point in my lifetime and probably on a level unseen since the gilded age www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

i share this mayo clinic video every year because more people need to see and hear how horrific a disease whooping cough is

the mainstream blind spot here is obvious and easily exploited 1. I, the mainstream pundit, am a good person 2. This right winger is friendly to me 3. I, as a good person, would not be friends with someone who genuinely advocated for horrible things 4. My friend didn’t mean the things he said

It absolutely matters here that Pritzker was effective at sounding the alarm and plainly stating this would be unconstitutional in a profoundly radical and fundamental way, and showing he could rally practical popular opposition, which then gets spun as backing out over "legal headaches."

This is the biggest story in America right now. Coffee up 20.9% year-over-year Steaks up 16.6% Apples up 9.6% Bananas, 6.6%. www.axios.com/2025/09/11/t...

More than 20 years after 9/11, evidence suggests more strongly than ever that at least two Saudi officials deliberately assisted the first al-Qaida hijackers when they arrived in the United States. (Published Sept. 2024)

Slightly diminish a book: The Bride Wore Beige by @cornellwoolrich.bsky.social

The Trump admin has a new propaganda video claiming that DHS is "safeguarding our culture and shared values." Micah Bock, the Trump appointee in the video, was accused in college of rubbing his erection against a sleeping woman and claiming she was "asking for it." h/t @jasonpaladino.bsky.social.

Wow. New NBC poll finds 78% support vaccines, including 72% of independents and 67% of Republicans. As I keep trying to argue, Democrats should polarize the shit out of the vaccine/public health debate. Make people take sides. It will split Republicans and MAGA. See this:

Cities everywhere:

They should have been hounding him in public every day.

They do inhuman shit like this because it excites them. Some of them may demur at first. But sooner than later most of them realize that the ability to torture children at will -- like Trump's and Epstein's ability to rape them -- means power, and they love it. www.huffpost.com/entry/immigr...

Hey! Hey! RFK! How many kids did you kill today? (credit for this brilliant repurposing of Vietnam-war chant to The American Prospect's Harold Meyerson.)

Kavanaugh's statements make the problem worse, not better. If the reason SCOTUS is using cryptic shadow docket orders is because "five" of them can't "reach a consensus or a compromise on a particular issue that might be difficult," then that order should not be precedential —there's no majority.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt was caught on a hidden camera saying the government will “redact every Republican” from the Epstein files and leave only the Democrats. He also revealed that Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a minimum security “to keep her mouth shut.”

Well that was burying the lede: The shooter of two Minnesota lawmakers said he was motivated by his hatred of COVID vaccines mandates. (From 2 weeks ago)

So Hegseth’s missiles were fired at a boat: ✅ they had no idea where it was going ✅ they had no idea who was on it ✅ they had no established authority to act ✅ but definitely wanted to murder whoever was on it Everyone involved should rot in prison forever

John Belushi wary of entering the cocaine fray

I’m supposed to live in Gainesville, where I own a home, next year. I’m not sure I can risk bringing my child to a Florida that doesn’t require vaccinations for school. These lunatics need to be stopped before they kill more of us.

Strange to see dialogue from The Wire turn up in Lord Peter Wimsey

Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

Trump wants a paramilitary force that believes his orders are god’s will & opposition is illegitimate. The responsible way to prevent escalation is to make it clear Trump is lying and his goons will face consequences. You must be the countervailing force. Krasner should not be so alone in this.

Super important piece on how states can help fill the gaps created by RFK's anti-vax policies. We desperately need RFK out of the job, where he's doing immense damage to public health, but Dem Governors can take effective steps here if they want to. (So can R Governors! Not sure they'll want to.)

But she is still dead
