Melania's movie is such a massive bomb that Trump will drop it on Iran.

Meanwhile, they still have a good sense of humor in Chicago. This place has been around a long time.

Cacaphony of #nokings honks in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Everything is too expensive and you can be kidnapped off the streets or shot by a bigot at any moment; you can't go to the doctor or get a vaccine or read certain books or learn history or speak a language other than English but hey at least a computer will drink a lake to talk to your kid for you

I'm attending WisDems's event, “Can’t Afford to Wait: Weekend of Action Canvass in Stevens Point!” - sign up now to join me! Sept. 20-21 www.mobilize.us/wisdems/even...

A 15 min. drive home with NPR: funding ended for LBGTQ+ help lines; Bhutan won’t let in deported Bhutanese man, who’s living homeless in India; looks like approved public broadcasting $$ will be snatched back. Argh.

This is wonderful.

He’s so drunk.

Except we ARE seeing it every day since Jan. 20.

A sentence Tapper never thought he’d ask. I admire his being able to do so without laughing.

Working the polls in a small Central Wisconsin city. Nonstop since 2pm in this district. Hoping for blue results!

And camera needy.

Central Wisconsin protest during a Schimel appearance. Pardon the thumb.

While Susan Crawford is speaking with Portage County, WI residents, she tells us that at the same time Brad Schimel is meeting with election-buyer Lone Skum.

The best screenwriter in the world would not have the imagination to write a movie about the US’s current situation.

Thanks @jamellebouie.net for saying this about RFK’s weird kid so I didn’t have to.

I’m currently assessing which local bridge to live under.

Damn right!

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

I'm expecting and hoping that Sen. Tammy Baldwin is in this group.

Tammy Baldwin definitely needs to be out front debunking the GOP, as penance for supporting Sean Duffy as Secy. of Transportation.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I predict “Gulf of America” is going to fail just like “New Coke”did

I had been waiting for someone to upload one of the great KITH gags, I think they did because of the Elon salute news cycle www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYOC...

Interesting analysis.

When you dress for the job you want and the job you want is "widow."

Shameless

Beyond actively supporting local progressive candidates, I have no idea. Feel overwhelmed at the new oligarchy’s naked hate and greed.

The appeasement is immoral.

As a white, middleclass American, I felt and took for granted an inherent national stability (tho sometimes shaky), under previous presidents. Trump the 1st was at least inhibited by sane people. But now the "fasten seat belt" sign is flashing, and I'm dreading the turbulence ahead for all of us.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

I reread Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich after Trump was elected the first time. Sadly starting it again.

Yeesh.

Early self-holiday present: a sub to Tom Tomorrow’s newsletter!

I’m so glad Joe pardoned Hunter. Next: remove federal prisoners’ death sentences.

Medusa, Begonia, You know I'm gonna own ya

Damn right.

We all fall if our military falls to T***p.

“Skeet” rhymes with “tweet” so it’s a not-subtle-enough reminder of the old thing. Also of mosquitoes. My preference is “kite.” Colorful fun things that float in the blue sky. Easy to say. Start KITING today!

I haven’t seen much commentary on what Biden’s administration could/should do to strengthen democracy before T***p takes over. Commuting the death sentences of Federal prisoners and pardoning his son would model decent humanity. Surely there are actions that could reduce the impending harm we face.

What The Fuck Is A “Vaccine Skeptic”? - defector.com/what-the-fuc... This guy is such a vivid writer, with on-the-money analysis. Gifted. Reminds me of the Rude Pundit.

Insightful.

Can local government electeds insist that local law enforcement vow to honor the Constitution?

Get your family’s immunizations before it’s too late. Jeesum Pete it keeps getting worse.

Honest to gosh, I wish Elsa Chang on All Things Considered would not sound so effing chipper when she's reporting on Trump. #npr

I’m not normally a fan, but I’m wondering what Nostradamus had to say about 2024.

Yep.

okay everyone, you can stop doomscrolling now. you got to the bottom and found the Doom
