Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment. The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

No surprise here q

In an email, Epstein told @michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social that Trump was at his house for hours with one of the victims Wolff says Epstein showed him polaroids of Trump with topless teenagers

You Still have time to turn in your Ballots!

I’ll be glad when we run this regime out of power and we do something about those ICE assholes. They should be tried for their crimes against humanity.

Bravissimo

If you've never been in the military you don't know how absolutely TIGHT you have to budget your money on a bi-monthly basis when you're in the lower ranks. Even then you'll still come up short. A FUCKTON of our enlisted personnel are on food stamps-SNAP just to make it. And now this? Unacceptable!

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

The full 9th Circuit just voted NOT to rehear en banc the panel decision in Newsom v. Trump re: federalized troops in Los Angeles. (The motion for rehearing en banc in the Oregon v. Trump case is still pending.) No Republican appointees joined the dissent. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s hard to keep track of the litigation whirlwind in the National Guard cases. I’m planning to write up the state of play for “One First” tomorrow morning. If you’re not already a subscriber, I hope you’ll consider signing up—so you’ll get it as soon as it drops: www.stevevladeck.com/subscribe

Just a quick PSA that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in your public movements. This is why law enforcement can follow YOU or photograph YOU in public without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Law enforcement doesn’t get “extra” protection in that regard. Goose/gander etc.

The U.S. Department of Justice accused Peter Williams, former general manager of L3Harris’ hacking division Trenchant, of stealing trade secrets and selling them to a buyer in Russia.

Hirono to Bondi: "It's very clear to me that when the president posts something like, that he considers the DOJ to be his law firm and you his lawyer."

A federal government run by Fox News weekend hosts probably wasn't a good idea

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

If we do not fight back they will take us all. Do not slow down. Republicans want to take your life and they fully intend on recreating the Holocaust to make it happen. DEFEND YOURSELVES WITH WEAPONS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

So shocked the Nazis aren’t following the law 🙄 But no no, keep saying it’s not time to fight back. Plenty of legal avenues right? 🤗 I hope your faith in the law being faithfully carried out protects you when the Gestapo shows up and arrests you for something you never did with fake documents 🤷

Our work is not done… 📌 Sinclair Broadcast Group is still refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel Live! on its ABC affiliates nationwide. Folks, you know what to do. Google Sinclair-owned networks and channels in your city and act accordingly.

Senator Grassley and I are leading a bipartisan effort to demand the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. They are stolen from families, stripped of identity, and forced into camps. We must hold Putin accountable and bring them home. www.foxnews.com/opinion/sens...

Trump: US wants Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan back trib.al/nXv2P0t

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.

Military lawyers within the Pentagon have taken issue with the legal justifications for the strikes, warning that the soldiers involved could be held personally liable for the killings.

Senate staff just got an alert: "Capitol Police are responding to an incident at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters. Staff are asked to remain clear of the police activity."

Yikes. So the shooter is still running around? Really dangerous scenario.

Isn't this why Musk was brought on board? To throw the election to dt? Just like the election was thrown to gwb. When will we all just admit the republicans always cheat to get elected, one way or another. They cannot win in a free & fair election based on their policies. They know it so they cheat!

Have I mentioned today how much I fucking loathe these people?

Buys time. The administration's legal strategy has been to rely on the courts to uphold blatantly illegal actions by staying injunctions. The longer they can wait to get to the merits the better.

I have nothing but obscenities. 🤬

Wait what, so a federally-funded facility can exist as a black site if they never actually spit the money to fund it?

Trump Claims the Power to Summarily Kill Suspected Drug Smugglers The move to treat criminals as if they were wartime combatants escalated an administration pattern of using military force for law enforcement tasks at home and abroad. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/u...
