Trump to travel with own escalator following UN embarrassment caused by his own Secret Service and White House staff.

St Mary’s Hospital in NE Georgia is closing its labor and delivery service, citing Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Women going into labor will now have to drive an hour plus to deliver safely. Way to go, GOP.

The Giants are in the WIN column!!!!! #SFGiants 🧡🖤🧡 Keep it up, fellas! Get to .500!

The US telecast for the AFL Grand Final started just in time for the Welcome to Country. Good timing. #AFL

Fuck

In any event, to go back to my original post: Continuing to protest HARRIS over Gaza when she’s no longer in any position to do anything about foreign policy BECAUSE not enough people voted for her, instead of TRUMP, who DOES control foreign policy BECAUSE he beat her, is batshit insanity.

Well. There were walnuts in that pumpkin bar I started to eat. Now my mouth feels like it’s full of canker sores, that’s my allergic reaction. Nothing as severe as anaphylactic shock, thank goodness, just irritating. 😐 Keep drinking water!

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

Only @kqednews.kqed.org in #SF produced a robust Obit on #BelvaDavis, legendary #SF Journo who died early this week at age 92. She worked many yrs @kqednews.kqed.org +inspired NextGen Black #SF Journos (however small our numbers!) including me. Shame on #SFChron, #SFEx www.kqed.org/news/1196291...

Well. I’m going to give up the Willie Mac Award (DVR is set), the first part of the #SFGiants game tonight. Hope they do well with benign neglect! Going with friends to hear a zydeco band as part of concert in the park series locally. Need to get out, so depressed, not accomplishing anything today.

Use the words: Trump’s abuse of power is an act of tyranny: presswatchers.org/2025/09/use-... NEW ON PRESS WATCH

Certainly would be another grim milestone if the Supreme Court decides to edit out an entire amendment. And they just might.

Trump is again pushing the Supreme Court to let him strip birthright citizenship, effectively giving himself power to detain or deport even US-born citizens without due process.

This is bad for America. These fellowships train the innovators and educators and leaders we need. We should triple the size of the program. And as Grimace as my witness, we will.

does trump even still take his calls

Sara Jane Moore died today, age 95 and on parole since 2017, just over fifty years after she attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford here in San Francisco.

David Muir, or whoever wrote your news script… It is not THE MLB! It is Major League Baseball, the majors or the big leagues, the bigs, the show. MLB does NOT require an article.

The Trump admin illegally leaked my unredacted personnel file to Jack's allies to try to smear me. The full force of the federal government is being weaponized to defeat me — I’m asking you to help me fight back! Donate here: secure.ngpvan.com/NGY2cCnISU6c...

At some point we might be able to get him to release the unredacted Russia files just to take attention off the fact that he was Jeff Epstein's bestie.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

I know Lindsey Halligan is new at this prosecutor business, but there's far more evidence Ka$h Patel committed a crime in investigating Comey than that Comey did. Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer got the wrong FBI Director!

Even in his most fevered, drunken dreams, Richard Milhous Nixon couldn't possibly have even imagined doing a tenth of this shit.

As a physician-scientist who was recently on an H-1B, studying many things including the physician workforce, last week’s executive order hit home. I wrote about it, and what it could mean for healthcare in the US, especially in Rural America. On Adverse Reaction! open.substack.com/pub/adverser...

reposting w/ alt-text the note about "no opportunity to deliberate in conference" is def interesting if I'm on the Court and my terrible colleagues zoom forward with this terrible decision without so much as a conversation in conference, I'm holding a press conference instead. blowin up their spot

Please vote for reindeer blood! (Click through, it’ll make sense!) #MinCup25

Hey can someone sanity check me, do San Francisco PD officers ever handle operations in Oakland? And if they do would they be wearing shirts that SFPD?

The Roberts majority joins the Trump Administration and Musk and his band of dodgy boyos as mass murderers.

This has been pushed to the background, but pay attention: Right now, a stack of bills aimed at reining in AI companies and big tech sits on Gavin Newsom's desk in California. These are the bills Silicon Valley and the GOP tried to ban outright. Now they await Newsom's signature—or veto.

Man who has long been despised at a distance makes extravagant arrangements to be despised up close.

the whole whole tylenol thing is clearly an effort to shore up sagging fake populist support by the conspiratorial MAHA movement, which has started to sniff out that King Donald may be full of shit about his dedication to crack down on pharma abuses and corporate power (cc: Matt Stoller)

Yummy!

Thanks, Donald. 🙄🤬🤬

In reporting this piece on the new trial for a Huntington's treatment, I was struck by one thing in particular: The joy. One of my sources wept for joy. He has spent his entire career studying this disease, he said it was the happiest day. www.sciencenews.org/article/hunt...

This is going to end up being the most pointless and expensive "this meeting could have been an email" in history.

The Trump administration owes @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, and all Americans, an explanation of the breach of her personal data, and it must be investigated so something like this cannot happen again.

“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.” Trump told Americans for years he would go after his political foes and nine months into his second term, basking in the fealty of the loyalists installed at the DOJ, Trump is now that half-frozen snake all thawed out and here to remind you:

Some marvelously deadpan paragraphs from the Washington Post

Follow the money. Full blown kleptocracy.

🤣🤣🤣 The second permit being revoked by the Park Service is a terrible action, but giving far greater distribution of the physical statues is utterly brilliant.
