The penguins on Heard and McDonald Island near Antarctica are happy that Jimmy Kimmel is back! But they are still pissed off about Trump's tariffs! 🐧🤟🐧 @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social @jimmykimmel.com

Just saw the photo of a MAGA hat that read, Make America Charlie Kirk. I WAS WRONG. Everything certainly can get more stupid.

While we support the freedom to use TikTok, we don’t feel USA will use data any more responsibly than China. Therefore, we are giving traveling Terns and Skuas complimentary access to ICE-Blok, our new dual feature social media and anti-Gestapo app.

I’m back covering City Hall for the Toronto Star, and for my first story I answered a question that has been bugging me for months: www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor...

#Sparks in concert last night in Toronto. Hoping that they’ll be back again soon, but that is getting less and less likely. Yes, it was a fantastic show.

The 4 Pillars of the Trump Admin: Threats Lies Intimidation Corruption

"...most elected Democrats remain in the mode of believing they are a party of government temporarily out of power. They are that too. But really they’re an opposition party in the midst of an attempted authoritarian takeover of the American Republic." - @joshtpm.bsky.social

Trump's DOJ has removed this research paper showing that far-right extremists have committed far more domestic violence than any other group. I wonder why. Archive is still available for anyone interested.

Emperor Nero rolls out the entertainment.

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

Word.

The Trump administration has tied new requirements to election security grants. Some states told NPR they're passing on the grants as a result.

Again I see another news story out of the US explaining why Canadians tourists aren't going to the US as a result of Canadians being angry about tariffs. Let me repeat it for the people at the back: it's not the tariffs, it's the fascism.

Ah yes, shoot the messenger. Trump removes official overseeing jobs data after dismal employment report buff.ly/eoFfMRr

Trump Today: 1. Made deal to move Maxwell to cushy min security Club Fed facility. 2. Had worst jobs report come out in a decade. 3. Said report was rigged & fired govt employee who made the report. 4. Moved 2 nuke subs off Russia to threaten them. 5. Flew to a golf outing.

Acting like Stallon After a weak July jobs report just 73K new jobs Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With past numbers revised down, critics say he’s punishing truth-tellers instead of fixing the economy.

Cullion [KUL-ee-un] (n.) - A base, despicable, or vile fellow; a rascal. A rude, mean-spirited person. Used in a sentence: “That slubberdegullion is a smelly old cullion, strutting through gilded halls; if you mention the list, he’ll clench up his fist and say that the news is false.”

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

“This is an absolute oyster carnival”! Idiom Shortage Leaves Nation All Sewed Up In Horse Pies — theonion.com/idiom-shorta...

They’re giddy about putting undocumented immigrants into a prison surrounded by alligators. They are such hateful, despicable people that they are fantasizing about human beings being eaten by alligators.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Surveying our greater island area to look for area to store our tariffed merchandise. McDonald Island is not safe due to curious and oblivious American eaters, and Shag island is likely off the table due to a preponderance of Australian couples looking to “live up to its name”.

@padilla.senate.gov represents the best of the Senate. The disgraceful and disrespectful conduct of DHS agents, pushing and shoving him out of a briefing like that, demands our condemnation. He will not be silenced or intimidated. His questions will be answered. I’m with Alex.

And … we’re back! Roman & I have a new episode and a new show-an OG TCL and a 99pi book club on the Constitution. We’re excited to be here and hope you are too! Thanks to longtime listeners and tell your friends too ✌🏻https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/99-invisible/id394775318?i=1000709628679

This entire "national immigration emergency" is the fakedy-est faked fake emergency in the history of fakery That is what it was on January 20, and that is what it is now The whole thing is a steaming, fly-riddled pile of horseshit and anyone who tracks immigration trends knows it

ABC fires veteran newsman @terrymoranabc.bsky.social for telling the truth about Trump and Miller. They are "world class haters." They openly display their hatred. It's not slander. It's a fact.
