Trump has already spent $14 million of your money on his botched renovation of the Reflecting Pool. That number will only continue to grow. At a time when families are struggling with rising costs, this Administration doesn't have its priorities straight. You deserve better.

PA Republican Rep Ryan Mackenzie campaigned on opposing war in Iran, but now he’s voted four times in favor of Trump’s war. Another spineless GOP coward. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/congressional/4615190/ryan-mackenzie-kevin-dellicker-regime-change-bombing-iran-2024-house/

“Here is another example of a crazy pro-algae (likely paid) protestor.”

sending love and light to Dustin Nolan for what had to be an agonizing decision. truth-denying maga acolytes captured a huge chunk of local news and this is the inevitable result

MacFarlane: You have a smell that's emanating now that is reminiscent of a high school locker room. You have a police force and National Guard presence that is profound. It's like a jewel heist from the muppet caper is going to happen. It seems to be a misappropriation of resources.

Watters: Is like blind loyalty to an idiot, does that override that? Jessica: Well, you do blind loyalty to an idiot every day.

NEWS The Trump DOJ appeals the ruling dismissing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's indictment for vindictive prosecution.

Ukrainian drones flying into southern Russia and occupied Crimea. Possible #explodey

Iran's Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf: “In the middle of the discussions, I learned that Trump had made threatening remarks regarding our president, the negotiating team, and possible attacks on our territory. 1/

The owner of #Teledyne is linked to Epstein, or it's just a coincidence that he was in the OSS with Donald Barr, bought all of New Mexico around the nuclear facilities that Maxwell sold PROMIS to, Epstein Ranch, oh, and happens to run the US space and defense systems? #NDAA

“Kushner was denied top-secret clearance until Trump overruled intelligence officials. ‘There was a risk the Saudis were playing him,” said a former White House official.’” @cjcmichel.bsky.social for @motherjones.com

Then why…

Germany is sending 6,000 new medium-range strike drones to Ukraine to completely cut off supplies to the Russians in Crimea.

JUST IN: DHS and DOJ cannot cateogrically shut out the public from immigration court proceedings in most instances, a New York-based judge ruled Monday. They also can't prevent observers from quietly communicating about legal/religious support, she says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Nina Burleigh: 2018 Red Sparrow movie... Four tickets were purchased by Epstein. The next day, Epstein was emailing about a design for jackets and sweaters featuring “red pigeons” with American flag colors and the words “RED GOLBYS.” Golby is a transliteration of the Russian word for pigeon or dove.

Tomorrow: The Newsground reveals an Epstein assistant who has remained entirely unknown until now.

We just told a circuit court: no more hiding the report on Trump’s classified documents misuse. Release Volume II of the Jack Smith report.

The NYU Langone (and NYC) trans care grand jury subpoena case will have a hearing tomorrow, 24 hours and two judge reassignments later —>

First of all, that's not necessarily true. Second of all, WTF sort of an answer is that?

@anntelnaes.bsky.social Brilliant

BREAKING: The full DC Circuit will be sitting en banc to rehear the case over Judge Boasberg's contempt inquiry. Arguments will be held on September 29. The April panel decision — www.lawdork.com/p/dc-circuit... — is vacated, but the administrative stay blocking Boasberg for now will remain.

What Chris said 👏🏻 🙌🏻

The fences are down, Dupont Circle is open again, and the fountain is back on. Fuck Trump. Fuck this administration. DC statehood now.

Senior member of the Iranian negotiating delegation Professor Muhammad Marandi: “Yesterday, the possibility of the Atomic Energy Agency's inspectors coming to Iran was not discussed at all. “Ignore the western propaganda”

There is no grand database that allows the government to run everyone’s name through a computer and immediately know who is a citizen, and who isn’t. The Trump admin is trying to hastily cobble together a version of that, despite knowing that existing data is not fully reliable.

BREAKING: A third judge is now assigned to the NYU Langone (and NYC) trans care grand jury subpoena case. The case is now before Judge Katherine Failla (Obama). Again, no reason given.

. @gettyimages.com does great work but I'm a little disappointed we don't have fresh images of the reflecting pool today. C'mon folks, give the people what we need.

BREAKING: Judge Patrick Schiltz has quashed several DOJ grand jury subpoenas aimed Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, saying they were part of a retaliatory effort over their refusal to aid Trumpa dmin immigration enforcement efforts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WOW!! JD Vance got the Iranians to AGREE to the SAME thing we had under OBAMA in the agreement that TRUMP pulled out of! All it took was months of war, 300 billion to Iran, and one of the biggest US capitulations in history. ART OF THE DEAL, BABY!!

BLAS: “.. It may only last 60 days (I doubt it; likely would become permanent), but the US Treasury’s waiver is effectively rolling back 40-year plus of American oil sanctions against Iran. Even US refiners are allowed to import Iranian oil and pay for it in greenback!!!” @javierblas.bsky.social

Let’s check in on how Jared and Ivanka’s luxury Albanian resort is doing…

One estimate I have heard is $200 million a day into Iranian coffers once this is up and running. One of the many ways Trump is paying Iran to get to a (much) worse deal than Obama cut in 2015.

(Reuters) - BofA Global Research expects the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates by 75 basis points in 2026, it said on Monday, citing resilient economic data and rising expectations of a hawkish Fed under new Chair Kevin Warsh. @reuters.com

Another one bites the dust.

"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

"It is questionable whether Vance can build a successful campaign for GOP nomination, let alone win WH, on a platform of establishing alliances w/some of the most repugnant authoritarian regimes in the world." As @davidrlurie.com says at @atrupar.com's place, Vance craves "axis of authoritarianism"

Using criminal charges to scapegoat innocent people for the regime’s mistakes is about as authoritarian as it gets. www.reuters.com/world/us/peo...

If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

Either Keir Starmer is resigning or I've got a new scratching post.
