People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Indiana has rapidly become the latest flashpoint in the GOP’s national push to engineer aggressive mid-decade gerrymanders. Few states illustrate the immense costs to voters and how far lawmakers are willing to go to appease President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/ind...

Is it just me or why won’t the Republicans …if they’re so dissatisfied with Mike Johnson’s leadership remove him? All you need is 9 GOP members with a spine One would think that if they really want to do their job and serve their constituents, they would start a motion to vacate Thoughts?

Women won’t let this go, for Virginia

Im so sorry. I hope that you'll find justice.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee motion to intervene to fight against the GOP effort to overturn California's new congressional map. My law firm is proud to help defend these maps from Republican attack. www.democracydocket.com/cases/califo...

CT Governor Lamont has announced that he will fund SNAP for November in full. When the federal government won’t take care of its people, Connecticut will.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Did you feel that, America? The steady, throbbing kick-drum rhythm thundering throughout this land on election night? It was the pulse of Democracy returning. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/did-you-fe...

I don't want to distract from Zohran Mamdani's incredible and historic achievement, but Andrew Cuomo is one of the vilest politicians in either party in recent memory. He deserves humiliation. He deserves to live in infamy and shame. He deserves to live in Florida.

Imagine if the American people could vote to release the Epstein files... Big Margins. Massive. Huge. Best scores.

Oh, you simple-minded, wheezing gargoyle . . . you were very much on the ballot. You are blamed for the shutdown. You are blamed from SNAP shutting down. You are blamed for a bad economy. And numerous people interviewed last night mentioned that seeing the East Wing destroyed motivated them to vote.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Can you imagine taking a job wearing a mask and indiscriminately beating and abducting human beings? They must all be very proud boys...

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

This will increase Mamdani's margin of victory by double digits. #ETTD

The day clownish Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton files a ridiculous, performative lawsuit against Tylenol seems a good day to re-post this:

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

I have a very bad feeling about this...

The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

"SOUTHCOM was concerned about the operations not being lawful," per CNN reporting. Not surprised. I served in Pentagon assessing counterterrorism operations. I explain constitutional and international legal problems with these Caribbean strikes.⤵️ youtu.be/DHXz_y6Updg?...

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging. We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.

China threatened to impose export controls on all elements of production related to rare earth metals, citing its dominance in mining and processing. Trump responded with more tariffs. This is what happened today. 🔄

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

How does Lindsey Halligan find the time to pretend to be a lawyer *and* appear on “The Young and the Restless”?

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

LOOK ALL AT THE GRAFFITI, SENATOR!!! WE MUST CALL IN THE 101ST AIRBORNE!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!! #WarRavagedPortland

A request to our military personnel: Your oath is to the US Constitution, not the president. Don’t bother citizens Lay down your arms and join us.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

He’s going to blow up the entire country to prevent the release of the Epstein files, isn’t he

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

A shooting at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints building in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on Sunday morning left “multiple” people injured, the police said, adding that the church was on fire as the authorities responded.

I just received the beautiful zine from @ovid69.bsky.social (I’m a guest in this one 🤍) and their gorgeous standee! It fits perfectly in my pride corner and that holographic acrylic is perfect 🥰🤍🤍🤍

It’s a beautiful boule! 🍞

Dear Senators & Reps, you need to develop some new rhetoric to use after a political assassination. Your shit is STALE. “There’s no place for political violence in our country.” REALLY?? Yes, political violence is REVERED by the MFkn occupant of the OVAL OFFICE. It comes in FIRST PLACE every time.

The Supreme Court is empowering the president of the United States to run roughshod over congressionally mandated appropriations, which looks a lot more like the Stuart constitution’s concept of the king being master of his own supply than a modern democracy. Restoration America is in full swing.

Steps away from the Capitol, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender, on Wednesday demanded that all people who received sexual favors through Epstein be identified. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files

Sorry, I’m a little late Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend Please follow and share and always remember we will be 🦊 go.bsky.app/5otBXPJ

The IRS clashed with the White House over using tax data to locate suspected undocumented immigrants just hours before Trump officials fired IRS Commissioner Billy Long. Long's dismissal makes his tenure now the briefest in the agency's 163-year history. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
