Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

I’m deeply upset about Trump’s destruction of the East Wing to build his mar-a-lago ballroom, but it’s not like we have a real White House at this point.

Breaking: Today is officially one of the biggest days of protest in American history. Over 7 million Americans turned out to No Kings events to stand up against MAGA fascism.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was. "I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi." Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

... and unequivocally said Comey never authorized him to provide information to a reporter anonymously ahead of the 2016 election, the sources said."

Ironically, red states are more dependent on the expiring healthcare tax credits that Democrats are fighting for. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

The GOP tax bill cut $137B in rural Medicaid funding, and then added in $50B in rural hospital funding to try to compensate. Rural hospitals have already been closing for years. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

I might even pray. I never pray.

Trump just posted these photos on Truth Social. We’re not a serious country anymore

Trump suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for Biden over his cancer diagnosis: “Biden was always a stupid guy. A mean SOB.. Not working out too well for him right now. So, when you start feeling sorry for him, remember he’s a bad guy”

If you voted for Trump for economic reasons, you got got.

"Homan indicated he would facilitate securing contracts for them in exchange for money once he was in office... "On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Border Czar Tom Homan took $50K from undercover FBI agents last year. Now Trump’s DOJ and FBI shut down the case: join me over on Substack: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

Courtesy of Convicted Felon, Donald Trump, America is the laughingstock of the world. Pure trash.

The Supreme Court is forging an America where weighing race can be used to harm minorities, but not to protect them.

This is a big deal. When Skydance bought Paramount, they put a Trump-approved content monitor in charge of CBS News, fired Stephen Colbert, and hired right wing talent. What do you think they will do to get Trump's approval for the purchase of CNN?

Justice Clarence Thomas writes constantly that the Constitution is "colorblind." Yet, as @pemalevy.bsky.social writes, Thomas was silent this week as the high court voted to allow the Trump admin to detain immigrants based in part on the color of their skin or whether they spoke with an accent.

Senate Republicans just voted to block an amendment to release the Epstein files. What are they trying to hide and why?

Q: Don't you want to learn more about Trump’s relationship and friendship with Epstein? Jim Jordan. “NO…I haven't seen it. Don't buy it.”

Rep. Seth Moulton: "I'm glad that we're consulting a combat photographer for his thoughts on the best use of the U.S. military — that's what JD Vance did. It's absolutely not the best use of the U.S. military."

🤬🤬🤬

Powerful piece by @markhertling.bsky.social. “I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”

"Congratulations to President Donald Trump and his whip-smart administration on turning America’s brave National Guard troops into the most expensive gardening crew in human history." https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/08/28/trump-national-guard-picking-up-trash-dc/85853498007/

The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department. It’s against this chaos that Democrats are demanding that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be removed from his post as the nation’s top public health official.

Imagining him seeing the glee over his rumored demise is almost as much fun as imagining his actual demise.

Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.

The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.

Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.

In recent public remarks about deploying the National Guard to Chicago, Donald Trump said: “I have the right to do ANYTHING I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.” Not even a King has that right. Certainly no president. Who knew a non-drinker could be so drunk with power?

I don't want to live in a country where 10-year-olds are on the news talking about how their friends saved them by lying on top of them during a shooter incident... and got shot. Thanks, GOPNRA.

“Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a U.S. city, punish his dissidence, and score political points. If this were happening in any other country, we would have no trouble calling it what it is: a dangerous power grab.” www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

It isn't until the 26th paragraph that there is mention that what Trump is doing is being challenged as illegal. And it accepts Trump's stated rationale to act. Here is what I think: Trump is illegally deploying the military in blue cities to set the stage to interfere with the 2026 elections.

So if Intel is now being taken over in part by the Trump regime, we now know who the real Socialist lunatics are—or are the cultists now in favor of Socialism if their Dear Leader is ruling?

I get the same impression, Harry. No legitimate law enforcement purpose for this interview or Maxwell’s movement to a more open facility.

Chairman Mao touts his state-run economy

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

These weak weak little men make me🤢🤮

Seriously I’m out of WTFs

New in PN: Gavin Newsom's moment "Newsom and other Dems joining this battle are right to fight. And by fighting, they are demonstrating just how weak Trump is. When you bend the knee, MAGA looks invincible. As soon as you stand up, though, the orange god starts to look like a fetid bag of wind."

"Noem has also been particular about the service on the Coast Guard planes. In one incident, she and her staff grew irritated when a weighted blanket she often uses on trips was not provided to her, an issue that was “escalated” within the service..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
