#CleGuardians… that is all.

Someone cleverly switched off the escalator in the UN building just to mess with Trump as soon as he arrived.

I managed a news art dept at a large daily newspaper & I felt we’d better serve our readers with a more diverse staff of creators. With two openings I asked for H1Bs. Posted openings as law required and felt the int’l candidates were still the strongest candidates. No regrets. They made us better.

Not easy being a #Browns fan, but we’ll take it. Woof woof.

Whenever the Bears play Dallas I remember an old family friend, the father of a buddy growing up (in Dallas). This guy played for George Halas’ Bears. He used to joke in the early days they’d come off the field and fold their leather helmets and put them in their back pockets. RIP Bob Kilcullen.

I was a 70s kid, classic rock etc, and the Bee Gees were the hood ornament of disco. Didnt hate em, just wasn’t my thing. As I’ve gotten older I’ve come to appreciate how influential and how great they were, for as long as they’ve been. Barry, the oldest brother Gibb: Words. youtu.be/hKyrDyvzCiI?...

This is amazing.

The man is insane. Absolutely out of touch and just plain vile. Telling reporters they’re “guilty” and their networks are terrible. Reporters should keep poking him until he pops.. give no quarter.

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.” Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

Mike Johnson dreams of turning the company he leads, EchoStor Technologies, into a billion-dollar business within the next five years. New illo in the @bostonglobe.com Business Bold Type.

“Just play along. We got this. Your car awaits.”

NPR’s @steveinskeep.bsky.social asks Joe Mitchell a fair question about Charlie Kirk’s past divisive comments and Mitchell gets his hackles up, asking “what comments, Steve?”and pivots to how the media is attacking Saint Charlie with disparaging words, like Charlie never said anything hateful.

I’m not there so I have no idea what the relative elevations of the buildings are, but reports are the shot came from the Losee Center, top left, down into the amphitheater, lower right. Seems like the center building would have obstructed some of the view. And he was under a tent. #CharlieKirk

Two cheeseburgers, (one with extra patty), medium fries, two large soft drinks. I’m old enough to remember 75-cent Big Macs.

Texas sent 946 buses of migrants to #Chicago between August 2022 and July 2024, carrying a total of 44,938 migrants. The migrants were part of Gov. Abbott's, Operation Lone Star, which transported asylum-seekers to “Sanctuary Cities”. Gov. Abbott of Texas is a Human trafficker.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

2025 #NFL Season kicks off tonight with the Cowboys getting the first crack at the Jalen Hurts-led Eagles. Many teams are hoping to clip Philadelphia's wings. @advanceprintlab

The next parade Trump throws won't have squeaky old tanks and hippity hop formations bobbing along to CCR and Toby Keith cover bands.. The scale, pomp and precision of Xi's parade yesterday must chap Trump's ass to no end. Fire in the Hole!! Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/w...

I can’t believe Chicago will roll over with what Trump has in mind. It may be the spark of unrest Trump wants to trigger his martial law wet dreams, but the city and state have leaders who aren’t going to put up with this BS. Muriel Bowser might have her hands tied in DC, but Chicago won’t play.

Can a reporter in the WH Press Pool please ask “Specifically, what are the seven wars you say you’ve stopped?” I imagine there are reporters in that room who believe asking such a question would get them bum-rushed out the door like Alex Padilla.

Trump motions to Tommy Tuberville and laments Alabama’s loss this weekend, to which Tuberville replies “Auburn won” because of course Trump thought Tuberville coached at Alabama.

Hip hop is 52 years old. At a back-to-school party in the Bronx in 1973, Jamaican-American deejay Kool Herc introduced the technique of playing the same album on two turntables and extending the drum section, which became known as the breakbeat. 🧵⬇️

Stephen Miller is the cancer in the White House, to paraphrase John Dean. Pam Bondi doesn’t put cream in her coffee without clearing it with him first. Pete Hegseth, same (albeit an Irish Coffee). Can’t wait for the ‘Morgan Freeman speech’, “we will rebuild” when it’s over. youtu.be/nmb9XwxLIDw?...

Doomed.

I bet most people feel the same way.....

The world of college football is much different now that players play for millions and their teams and conferences think about billions. What hasn't changed is who's good at mastering the system. College FB section @AdvanceLocal papers, by @advanceprintlab. #Teamwork. #CollegeFootball #NIL #NCAA

I couldn’t have said it better than this. Thank you Jack White! #Pinks

A DC family has been crafting the Kennedy Center awards for 47 years. Trump has directed Tiffany & Co to redesign and take over production. You can bet they won’t be rainbow-colored, and sure, Tiffany needed the work. wtop.com/dc/2025/08/i...

The Absolute Worst®. His little pig eyes, the parrotfish lips, that stupid red hat. Just the absolute worst excuse of an American president.

You know what’s not in John Bolton’s home? Tons of Epstein files, photos, and videos. That shit is hidden in Donald Trump’s Justice Department.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

@grahamformaine.bsky.social I won’t hold your ArmyDog time against you brother, but I will be donating to your campaign. Susan Collins needs to go. When she first ran she said “I’ll serve two terms then I’m out.” That didn’t happen. She tasted the DC nectar. Good luck. Semper Fi from Ohio.

So the Trump administration *did* intervene to make sure that an Israeli pedophile fled American law enforcement. Protecting people who molest children appears to be the only thing this administration really cares about--other than pretending Donald wasn't totally shellacked by Putin in Alaska.

Directly across the table from him.

Has anyone informed JD Vance that he’ll have to cut a vacation short to be in the Oval to harass Zelenskyy on Monday?

@thatericalper.com One time you posted “what’s a song that starts with the chorus?” and I have one: Gallery’s “So Nice To Be With You.” Don’t know why that popped into my head but I thought of that older post of yours. Cheers.

I don’t know what tactic it would take to harass ICE teams manhandling churro vendors without them drawing weapons and shooting, but I sure hope we find one soon. Silly String? Fart gas ampules? Something to make those untrained slobs get into their SUVs and say “well that sucked. I need a shower.”

Happy Trump Capitulation Eve to those who celebrate!

See the man circled here? That's E.J. Antoni, Trump's Bureau of Labor Statistics nominee, walking through a crowd of Capitol rioters. #ICYMI, we've got an archive of 500+ Parler videos taken during Jan. 6. You can spot Antoni starting at around 1:41 here: projects.propublica.org/parler-capit...
