A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."

They’re trying to outdo @nytpitchbot.bsky.social !

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

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

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

I wasn’t planning on burning the flag, but in the American tradition of I-can-say-what-I-want and Fuck-you-ism, I will be now, motherfucker. 🇺🇸🔥

Weeks before his death, you say?

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Noem introduced Border Patrol Chief G. Bovino who claimed the protesters nearby were “an unsafe crowd” and declared “a free arrests zone” to arrest them all after one warning. Bovino: “They’re getting it here as soon as we leave.”

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Feds cancelling a whole raft of manufacturing & innovation projects in Washington state, because WA is blue & the federal government has declared open war on half the country.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

Des Moines public school issues statements yesterday (scroll down) saying that Ian Roberts had an FBI background check in 2023 and it raised no red flags and Roberts said he was a US Citizen. To summarize: ICE said Roberts entered the US in 1999. He was running track for Copin Sate though in 1997

Direct air capture is too expensive and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

“Earlier today ICE agents chase after a man in downtown Chicago after he made verbal comments but no physical or threatening contact. The man was able to get away.” - Christopher Sweat The maga patronage chuds can’t catch #bikechi

The Kavanaugh Stop

There is quite a bit of evidence suggesting autism is mostly genetic. Also, here's the study mentioned: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

Some of us do.

David Wallace-Wells is the best climate journalist working today, arguably the best journalist period, and this is a fantastic summary of where things stand on climate change:

We are not starting our slide into authoritarianism. We are already there. What comes next is the nightmare — the immense cruelty and harm they create with the power that our once coequal branches of government, our legacy media, and our elite institutions have so feebly surrendered to them.

@oliverdarcy.bsky.social's reporting on ABC's suspension of Kimmel suggests that the company has no idea what to do and took him off the air temporarily to try to make the problem go away while they figured it out. That means they can be pressured. www.status.news/p/jimmy-kimm...

This is why they’re deleting studies

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

The people that erected a gallows on Jan 6 to hang the vice president want you to tone down the political rhetoric...🤔

Crockett: Why lie… the fact that you're lying makes it look like what else are you lying about?

👇👇

This entire book is a nightmare

Crockett: There were lots of modeling agencies that were doing things and the modeling agency was basically a farce. And there's a lot of people that we want to talk to. And a lot of these models came from foreign countries. I'm going to just leave it there.

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

ABBY PHILLIPS: "The deputy attorney general met with Ghislaine and she shortly there after moved to a mininum security prison, why? PRO TRUMP ATTORNEY WHO REPRESENTED MAXWELL: stumbles uhh... "there's always a quid pro quo." ht: @citizenwillis.bsky.social

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK

White Christian Taliban shit right here. Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. It’s a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. They’re not just going to hand back power.)

Priorities.

Let me get this straight, they regime arrested employees of the company spending 8 billion on a new plant in Georgia threatening to disappear them to concentration camps at a time when manufacturing jobs are being destroyed at record levels by stupid tariffs? We are governed by the dumbest people.

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

The Pentagon is restoring a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which includes a slave guiding the Confederate general’s horse in the background, to the West Point library three years after a congressionally mandated commission ordered it removed, officials said. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...

OLLINS: But the Pentagon reviewed this wind project in 2023 & found that there were negligible national security impacts BURGUM: In particular there's concern about radar relative to undersea drones...people with bad ulterior motives to the US would launch a swarm drone attack through wind farms

Just leaving the scene of yet another neighbor being taken today. Delivering food to a neighbor, stopped, surrounded by multiple agencies of law enforcement and arrested. No pretext.
