and a psychopath

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

lolsob -- Kamala Harris with a couple callbacks to her infamous "nothing comes to mind" answer during her The View appearance just before the election

Starting to see the norm-washing of Trump's lunatic UN rant and I had to turn off the TV. Suggesting that any part of it was presidential, diplomacy, true, sane, hinged, in the interests of the US or the world or defensible is not only malpractice it makes it more likely we get more of same.

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.

On the National Mall this morning, a new satirical statue is up celebrating Jeffrey Epstein and Trump's "friendship" in honor of National Friendship Month.

If the GOP want to continue down their current path (Deport Omar! Deport Mamdani!), then Dems need to start calling for the denaturalization & deportation of Melania, fight fire with fire - plus there are far more unanswered questions about her immigration to the US than either Mamdani or Omar.

Some of us do.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

Trump's UN speech was an embarrassing shitshow that brought disgrace upon the United States. Congrats, America.

Trump's UN speech was his most embarrassing showing since the "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL" one

Pritzker: "MAGA Republicans in Congress may be in control now, but in 2026 they will not be unless Donald Trump does something to change this country fundamentally. And that is what he's trying to do ... we Democrats are going to win in 2026, but not if Donald Trump is allowed to cheat."

Pritzker seems to be the only one warning about this regularly

Somebody must have a projector at the UN

Says the man that wants to ruin vast swaths of US National Parks by development cutting trees selling the land Trump's savage attack on pristine wilderness and parks must not be allowed. Block all of it. Save our parks & wilderness areas.

New in PN: Trump posts his Watergate tapes "People! The man literally used his social media platform to tweet out a demand that his attorney general prosecute his opponents, ones he’s already characterized as 'guilty as hell.' This isn’t 'venting.' It’s criminal."

We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world. I spoke to the @nytimes.com about the strong forces trying to turn the clocks back and how we can all fight for women's rights and futures. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

Redford takes The Actors’ Studio quiz: #RIP

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Vice President Harris tells @maddow that Trump is "a tyrant who's using the federal government to execute his whim and fancy because of a fragile ego."

I continue to feel that our national experiment of making the dumbest MF in the country president was ill advised.

That was the worst presidential press conference on public health since the last time Trump did a press conference on public health.

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

I tried a federal sex trafficking case with 1 victim. Trafficker got 20 yrs in jail. Acosta knew of 50+ Epstein victims. Federal charges carry 15 yrs - life, but Acosta cut a deal: state case and 16 months in jail. How many victims did Acosta need to bring a federal case?

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Strange hill to die on, huh? #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles

Worse, I’m betting that none of this will be the focus of Sunday morning’s news programming. I’m betting that Kirk & Buckingham Palace, with a side of Jimmy Kimmel will dominate the shows.

(2/2) He defames women he's raped. He pokes fun at others' disabilities. He loves peddling fear, inducing outrage. He makes threats multiple times every day. He sees enemies in all disagreement. And he didn't just foment an insurrection, he savored it; even more as it grew violent. He is The Joker.

(1/2) One component of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump is driven by it. In normal people, those types of impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He is a Black Hole. He enjoys chaos and actually takes glee from others' suffering.

“Charlie Chaplin was willing to mock Hitler. Colbert and Kimmel were willing to mock an American president with his own authoritarian designs. What will the rest of us be willing to do in order to stand up to fascism?” Al Franken writes. Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Two of the top officials tied to the Epstein case—Kash Patel & Alex Acosta—admit they never reviewed survivors’ testimonies. Justice was never the point.

Holy shit www.youtube.com/watch?v=emiB...

Child sex trafficker protecting Trump and his cronies heads to her yoga class at Club Fed.

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

This is the most sobering post of the day. Aaron is absolutely right. This is the most brazenly corrupt, authoritarian regime the U.S. has probably ever seen. It is a test we cannot fail to rise to. Trump must be (legally) removed from office. Congress must act.

Earlier this week FBI’s Kash Patel admitted he didn’t even read the Epstein victims’ statements before deciding they weren’t credible. Another stunning example of how victims are completely ignored.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Apparently, the testimony of 40 minors was not enough to convince then U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta (later a Trump appointee) to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein. This is one of the biggest cover-ups of our generation. @oversightdemocrats.house.gov won't stop until the truth comes to light.

While covering up Epstein. He’s only allowed to get away with this because Republicans in Congress refuse to do or say anything. I pray that voters see this and much more when they go to vote in the midterms and completely wipe them out at the ballot box.

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles

Linda Ronstadt releases “It’s So Easy” — her cover of the Buddy Holly classic — 48 years ago today. It was “an afterthought that we threw in,” she said. “We needed an uptempo song because we had so many ballads. .. It’s kind of country, kind of rock ‘n’ roll .. a little bit of all those things.”
