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...

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

NEW: In addition to her sex offender waiver, Ghislaine Maxwell has an “out” designation that would allow her to leave the facility for work assignments. Some work assignments for FPC Bryan inmates are at Texas A&M University which is just 6 miles away. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

Behold, the leading political philosopher on the right.

This is all fantasy. There is no country giving us anything. These are all just goals and hopes just like the empty promises about private investment in the US he got from countries last term. Let us know the date the $550B & $750B checks from Japan and EU get here.

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths. ENOUGH. I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:

The American people need to raise holy hell and not stop until the full Epstein files are released and EVERY person implicated in them is brought to justice, despite their party or position. We're either a nation of human decency or we're not. This should be a nonpartisan demand.

Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

In case I wasn’t clear…

Whoaaaaaa

I'm stunned. ICE attorneys not identifying themselves in COURT?

This is not the act of a legitimate government.

💯

The #StayReady crew is not shocked by this. The numbers were only holding in the beginning because folks like us were preparing for what’s coming. And yes…what’s coming is likely to be much worse. abcnews.go.com/US/inflation...

Hey there guys! Good morning!

simplest explanation is that the court conservatives believe trump is sovereign and thus free of all limits on his authority

lol adorable.. Charlie got his marching orders

“We had no idea it was going to do what it did,” said Jeff Howell, the now-retired emergency manager in Yancey County, NC. “We had no reason to believe that this was going to be anything like what’s happened here — none whatsoever,” said Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly. @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social

Keep your eye on this one. The Old Glory Club is a far-right, antisemitic men’s club spreading quietly across the country. It started in 2022 and now has at least 26 chapters in 20 states. Members include military personnel, lawyers, and even civil servants. Men with power and access. 🧵

Spot on. It’s happening right now…this is how it starts.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social on ny1 : “People are going to get sick and go hungry… They’re giving people crumbs and taking away the whole loaf… One of the saddest days in 🇺🇸 history.”

Not one person will be able to say, "I didn't know."

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Your hairs would turn gray instantly if you could hear all the private threats Donald Trump made and the lies he told to get the ten GOP holdouts to fold. The billionaires of this country just garroted America, and they had big, shit-eating grins on their faces as they did so.

Sickening, revealing stuff from someone with the president’s ear

People have no idea, not really, how this budget is about to wreck their very foundations.

What. The . Actual . Hell.

These are lies

I obtained this from a community member minutes after arriving on scene following a raid at the Cypress Park Home Depot this morning. they detained day laborers.

Wholesome 🥰🥰

There’s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way. Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

Wow. Some people are upset about gutting the national endowment for the humanities. But fear not. The Big Beautiful Bill appropriates $40 million for "for the procurement of statues" for the President's "Garden of Heroes" www.budget.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Second look at strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as basis for government?

no amount of free money is going to get people to have children in a stagnant society of rampant corruption and dwindling opportunity

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Stepping back from the flurry of initial reaction, what is striking right now, is the Supreme Court is walking away from national baseline civil and constitutional rights and turning towards a state based civil and constitutional law regimes. Two problems strike me.

Based on random reports that have hit the internet, it seems at least 9 people have died in ICE custody in the USA, and there's been at least one stillbirth. I imagine the true stats are far beyond these numbers, but ICE is -- like the rest of this administration -- completely untrustworthy.

Twitter is not real life

Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

Disappearing community members is inexcusable A Culver City community is left in shock after a beloved ice cream vendor was detained by federal agents outside a church. abc7.com/post/culver-...

It must be hard feeling unsafe in your home. Anyone who would make another person feel unsafe in their own home is truly a monster.
