Savage trolling award goes to Newsome

Step one getting rid of Trump…

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.

Thank you, people in Virginia, New Jersey and New York! It's nice to have some good news for a change.

"It's the classic way that military coups happen. They say, 'these revolutionaries are about to take over the government, so *we* had to take over the government!'" @gtconway.bsky.social joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social in the latest episode of Sarah Longwell Explains It All:

“Having struck out with Uganda, Eswatini and Ghana, ICE now seeks to deport our client Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia – a country with which he has no connection, thousands of miles from his family and home in Maryland.” Weird how they don't just put him on trial. www.rawstory.com/kilmar-abreg...

Every time I read about this or see pictures of the destruction I cannot help but think of the Taliban and IS.

It's not yet #Caturday, but Oskar the Goofball is just too cute. #cat #catsofbluesky #crazycatlady

"Authoritarianism, it's a cancer. The symptoms are here, today... We thought it couldn't happen here... and now the disease is growing, metastasizing in America. But there is a cure—it requires you. On October 18, Americans will stand up, peacefully, for what makes America, America." nokings.org

Everything is awful, but I am back in Cyprus, so here is a picture of Flauschi, complaining about the insufficient quantity of food. #cat #catsofbluesky #crazycatlady

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

The full 28-minute Jimmy Kimmel monologue. Please share.

Recent reports that the Trump administration is withholding roughly $400 million of military assistance to Taiwan are deeply disturbing. The pause is eerily similar to Trump’s summer 2019 withholding of security assistance to Ukraine, for reasons entirely unrelated to Kyiv’s defense needs.

“He may need to release the Epstein files to distract people from this (show).” —Jimmy Kimmel

Negotiations have stalled. Trump keeps changing his policies. Ukrainians, backed by Europeans, are taking matters into their own hands, by targeting the Russian oil industry: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"Like a toddler with a machine gun" is spot-on. I feel sorry for all the serious politicians that have to interact with him. And for the poor interpreters at the UN who have to translate his ramblings.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Zohran Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social isn't suggesting anything that's even remotely close to what Communist regimes have done and still do. Trump, however, has done many of these things. Will Saletan @saletan.bsky.social lists them in another great article.

A devastating development

As it turns out, the "Kennedy Curse" wasn't that the smart ones were killed, but that the stupid one survived.

"One would think that a man who once owned a casino would know not to allow a known cheater into the house."

Reminder that Putin has never said he wants a trilateral meeting, had never said he would respect Ukrainian sovereignty, and has never said he wants to end the war. Not to be a downer, but the discussion of security guarantees is premature.

From today's @financialtimes.com #trump #nobelpeaceprize

"The better way to understand Anchorage is not as the start of something new, but as the culmination of a longer process. As the U.S. dismantles its foreign-policy tools, as this administration fires the people who know how to use them, our ability to act with any agility will diminish"

Great breakdown on the meaning of the discovered summit documents and how Trump viewed the meeting.

Eight pages of U.S. plans were reportedly left behind in the business center of an Alaskan hotel.

There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.

Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

In a world full of Donald Trumps, be a Gavin Newsom. #LiberationDay

I can't get enough of these. So funny, spot-on! 😂

As a supporter of Taiwan who is worried about China's global influence this outcome is probably the one I hate Trump most for.

Adi is a handful. He used to terrorize the other strays so I chased him away. If he is naughty, he can eat elsewhere. A year ago he returned, and now he is well-behaved (when he doesn't eat all the food for the other cats). He even lets me pet him now. And he likes sleeping under the palm tree 🥹.

I shared my lunch with Horni. Now Horni thinks I'm her friend and keeps coming in the house and flying around me. No good deed...

The most corrupt White House in 🇺🇸 history. Pay for play. Selling the country for parts. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...

Of all the things that happened under Trump so far the destruction of USAID upsets me the most. Despicable.

Question that fits a college students' party aftermath as well as a household with cats: Which one of you puked on my slippers last night?!

Sleeping Flauschi is so cute 🥹😍 #caturday #cat #cats #catsofbluesky

“We’ve always been at war with Eurasia”

Fantastic discussion!

There is something seriously wrong with Trump's brain. I know, I know, that's nothing new... I'm just baffled all over again, every time.

Oskar, every morning. He climbs up on the balcony and makes a ruckus at the balcony door if I don't open it fast enough for his breakfast. I love him, though. Happy #Caturday #cat #cats #catsofbluesky

@betoorourke.bsky.social talks midterms with @samsteindc.bsky.social: “The wind was at our back at a similar moment in ’18. I think the wind will be at our back again in ’26.”
