Pete Hegseth is furiously screaming "I SAID NO FATTIES!"

OpenAI too big to fail.

Just go ahead and delete article 1 entirely while you’re at it.

The Big Short 2

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

SCHIFF: If a video exists of Homan taking $50k in bribe money from the FBI, will you support a request to provide it to the committee? BONDI: You can talk to Director Patel about that SCHIFF: I'm talking to you about it BONDI: Will you apologize to Donald Trump?

What could go wrong?

Trump is exercising more power for a fake emergency than Lincoln did for a real one.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Friend owns a guitar shop in Chicago, they shot one his clients sitting there playing protest songs

Zach Bryan wrote an anti ICE song. officially declaring Woke 2 in full effect.

JUST IN: Chicago journalistsa re suing DHS and ICE over force used against reporters: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I wonder if the Governor and Dan Dakich will apologize for their racists rants over the weekend…

Mike Johnson has rebuffed Hakeem Jeffries’ request for a live shutdown debate.

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Every single one of these major raids is caused by a snitcher. In this case some rich Wisconsin landlord who was losing the property to the bank.

Seems bad

"fired tear gas, flash-bang grenades and pepper balls without any clear signs of provocation" literally making propaganda videos to justify the military deployment for the regime - declare Portland "war ravaged" then attack protestors to create videos that depict conflict and chaos

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

The regime’s playbook: Launch militarized raids in America’s cities to provoke a reaction. Then claim the reaction is insurrection to justify even more authoritarian action. The regime is using state-sanctioned violence to create a crisis. There is no justification for violence by anyone.

ice has brought far more violence to chicago than was there prior

apparently driving around tossing gas out of their cars is just their thing now.

How exactly is this different from Kristallnacht?

Adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments, crying and screaming, during a large overnight raid that has left tenants and neighbors shaken. https://cnn.it/4pPCXIt

Everything is content moderation.

History repeats.

Bloomberg continues to let me down with these headlines. How about this for a headline? Trump commits his another war crime in the Caribbean, adding to a growing list. So Why does he think he deserves a Nobel peace prize?

We all deserve a little grift

Trump in his 4 day MedBed

Suspect has two signs in his car, ABC7 reports one of the signs says "I NEED YOUR HELP TRUMP"

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

I think we should do Trump-is-dead speculation every time we get a clean chance, it’s clearly great for team morale. If you’re not into it, I dunno, post cat pics or something and enjoy the downstream benefits of other people being in a good mood

Ah yes, "the NFL sucks" and "is weak" is clearly one to win over the Trump base.

Smashing your tv up because you're mad the cartoon robot doesn't have a massive anatomically correct metal dick:

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today

These are the lowest cost insurance options for a 62 year old Georgian making $65k. 2025: $228 2026: $1142 She will lose $704/month in credits because of GOP cuts to health care. This is a crisis. We cannot wait to fix this.

www.reuters.com/business/aer... “We cannot control who sees what, we cannot see what users are doing, and we cannot verify that the software itself is secure," the memo says Peter Thiel is creating his own backdoors on critical military infrastructure

They’re all sell outs. Including the beloved Tim Apple

The two things Democrats really want: *an ACA extension *an end to Russ Vought and Trump deciding on their own whether to spend money appropriated by Congress. If those 2 things were on the CR, neither of which have anything to do with illegal immigrants, I think every D would vote for it.

I keep thinking about the ICE officer cackling and saying “fuck them kids” while zip tying together naked children ripped from their homes in the middle of the night. Evil. Just pure evil

The shutdown is going pretty well for Dems so far imo — polling is supportive, the focus has been on healthcare and potential Trump chaos, not much talk about the pain a shutdown is causing (pouring one out for the September jobs report).

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded. “CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

Keep pounding the rock. These polls will get worse in time for the GOP.

What the GOP position boils down to is that a few Dems should be made to eat shit and affirmatively vote for a bad-faith bill that's substantively objectionable and guaranteed to be reneged-on thru rescission and impoundment--*even though those votes are not actually necessary.*

there’s a phenomenon where authoritarians become so inundated with their own propaganda that they forget what’s actually effective. normal people will clock this as weirdo shit.

They are stealing taxpayer dollars from blue states because Democrats in Congress refuse to give Trump a blank check for his authoritarianism. Corruption. Coercion. Blackmail. Lawlessness.  I won’t bend the knee to a wannabe dictator and his cronies. We will prevail.
