If you were a journalist or creative that was laid off by the Washington Post and you want to work for an independent, pro democracy news outlet, Democracy Docket is hiring. bit.ly/45Qaw4K

If I die, I want my remains to be scattered at the US Capitol. Do not cremate me.

Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files. The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time. How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.

Althea Gibson was the first African American to compete in a pro-world tennis tour and in 1956, the first African American woman to win a Grand Slam title. Overall, Gibson garnered 11 Grand Slam wins, including six singles titles. #BlackHistoryMonth

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

The best part is Trump is oblivious and doesn't give a shit about anything but the jumbled nonsense running through his brain.

Men resigning after the horrors revealed in the Epstein files is NOT justice.

WARREN: Let me make sure I understand -- Trump is not saying affordability, what's happening to families right now, is a hoax? BESSENT: He's saying that trying to blame this administration instead of the Biden/Warren economy is a hoax

The Golden Age continues.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

thinking about the dems' plan to fully fund ice on condition they stop doing already-illegal crimes

WARREN: This should be an easy one. Can you commit that Trump's Fed nominee will not be sued or investigated by the DOJ if he does not cut interest rates like Trump wants? BESSENT: That's up to the president W: You can't say he won't be criminally investigated? That's supposed to be the soft ball!

This speaks volumes about the so-called “Christians” who host this event. Disgusting.

Sometimes I wish the imaginary friends were real so I could know for certain that these asshole Republicans were going to spend eternity in hell.

LIVE now, @samsteindc.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social react to Trump's latest craziness at the National Prayer Breakfast and his interview with NBC's Tom Llamas: lnk.thebulwark.com/3Ms7P2J

in your 20s, you'll come across someone who's wrong online. it's very important than you spend the next 40 years of your life learning and arguing about this topic online long after they've moved on, built a career, and raised a family.

The leadership of the @nytimes.com broadly agrees with Chris Rufo that the existence of "woke" students, professors, and institutions is an affront to society which needs to be dismantled by state coercion. This is, ironically, very obvious, but also politically incorrect to talk about in public.

Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care. We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

Trump had Mike Johnson remove Turner as House Intel Chair because he was perceived as too sympathetic to Ukraine. Turner was upset at the time and called it out. But now he’s a completely broken and beaten man. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.

RFK Jr and Trump rolled back a Biden regulation that required nursing care homes that received Medicare and Medicaid payments to have a registered nurse on site 24/7. Effective January 1st — those rules no longer apply. So choose carefully when making medical care decisions for your loved ones.

Cas Mudde spells out what has become largely the consensus among researchers: moving right on immigration will not weaken the far right nor strengthen social democracy. If your reaction is "but in Denmark" please at least familiarize yourself with Danish politics www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Punkin.

"That's a guy you can't leave."

I held back further criticism on it for a few more days because she had asked. It was an absolutely scummy thing to do to take advantage of me trying to meet with her in good faith and then her never actually meeting. I still think she's the wrong person at the wrong time to represent our community.

Sarah McBride reached out to me in August through an intermediary to ask me to tone down the criticism of her after this post because it was her birthday. She also wanted to meet with me to discuss the issue. She asked for my availability. I sent my calendly and she never booked a meeting.

Dick Cheney is in Hell! Yea!

JAYVEE VANCE HAS TO RESIGN: You can't be VP if you're boasting about war crimes JOHNSON SHRIVELS in failed attempt to claim he didn't say Trump was an FBI Epstein informant TRUMP booed at US Open as they go for pre-censorship GET THE NEW COUNTDOWN PODCAST: tinyurl.com/bp8mj7b9

It’s always great to see the orange felon being booed everywhere he goes, especially when the boos are thunderous like those he received at the US Open men’s final in New York. He should be in jail, not watching tennis whilst destroying the country.

Slightly diminish a book. Blade Speed Walker or Do Androids Dream of Battery Powered Sheep?

Comedian George Wallace and Jerry Seinfeld were roommates for 13 years. This softens my stance on Jerry Seinfeld somewhat. Not much, but this really is cool @mrgeorgewallace.bsky.social

It’s that time of year again. Back to school for the kids. This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every “Friday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.

Alternate headline: Johnson Lied.

Sarah Huckabeast is standing under a tent giving a speech while kids are forced to stand in the rain.

Trump won’t do shit because he’s Putin’s Bitch and Republicans in Congress are Putin’s Bitch Enablers. None of this is possible without weak Republicans in Congress who are afraid to call him out clearly and directly and instead post weak ass shit on social media.

America voluntarily destroyed itself in the dumbest way possible. It's so painful and also darkly comic. I mean, it's just remarkable how the most incompetent and reckless people were elected. What else did people expect? All of this could have been avoided. Alas. We're in it, friends.

📌Can somebody tell me why this kind of unhinged, fascist derangement from the President of the United States isn't on the front page of every paper in America, followed by a call for him to resign? This grotesque nonsense has been normalized long enough.

TRUMP CAN'T SQUAT

Everyday hero.

🚨Action Required🚨 If you are attending the U.S. Open tomorrow, please record and share what we won't be able to see. The administration is attempting to hide the truth, but with phones in everyone's hands, that's a tough task. We are all journalists now. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

I’ll say it again: police unions aren’t real unions. They’re right-wing protection rackets for cops. 📌 NEW: The LAPD just pulled protection from former VP Kamala Harris after pressure from police unions. This was only in place because Trump yanked her Secret Service detail.

Exactly the guy who should be talking about fraud and scams.

Trump’s administration hands over the nation’s Medicaid enrollee data, including addresses, to ICE. ICE officials will be given access to the personal data of the nation’s 79 million Medicaid enrollees, including home addresses and ethnicities. apnews.com/article/immi...

goddamnit i really need to write that "liberals' primer for the new age of global ideological conflict"

The gun is obviously bonkers but I am so fucking sick of these guys having their wife in a wedding dress while they put on an outfit that looks like the drunkest guy at Olive Garden
