RFK Jr: "Some of our friends like to say that we should believe all women. But some of these people have been silencing and demonizing these mothers for three decades."

Trump: "The MMR I think should be taken separately. This is based on what I feel."

Love this energy from @404media.co: they're suing ICE to turn over information about their $2m spyware contract after ignoring a FOIA for a year. (Learn more and contribute at the link.)

President Trump & his enablers are trying to hide the truth about how its actions affect real people and communities. Ceasing to collect data on how many people face food insecurity is the latest example of the admin's ongoing efforts to suppress information that undermines its narrative and agenda.

“Make no mistake, losing these funds will directly impact our ability to serve some of our most vulnerable kids,” Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction Jill Underly said about the Trump administration’s “devastating” decision.

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

yeah can't say I'm a big fan of the whole 'martyr' thing

"amid backlash" they can't pay their bills like the rest of us

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Same week: 1. “Trump added $3 billion [in wealth] over the last year, leveraging the presidency for profit.” 2. “.. sales of foods commonly purchased when financial times get tough are on the rise ..” @zacheverson.com @nytimes.com www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

me staring in the pantry and fridge trying to figure out what sort of food baby I wanna have

imagine relying on AI to write your bio and then having the nerve to say you're witty and full of personality

“'Like students facing hard exam questions, large language models sometimes guess when uncertain, producing plausible yet incorrect statements instead of admitting uncertainty,' the researchers wrote in the paper. 'Such ‘hallucinations’ persist even in state-of-the-art systems and undermine trust.'”

A U.S. attorney in Virginia is finding no evidence that Letitia James broke the law. In America, that’s justice. In Trumpworld, it’s a firing offense. trib.al/F99CX1j

Kicked out of Columbia University, now Washington Post. All for writing and speaking about race and injustice. The best way to support my work is to join @resistanceschool.bsky.social and take my class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

A man caged by ICE was found dead in his cell inside a Long Island jail 18 hours after arriving there.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump on sending the troops into American cities: "It's sort of like war. I hate to tell you."

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles

I find it deeply disconcerting the way they keep “teasing” the big info they have on autism. If there was a real scientific breakthrough, they wouldn’t wait. This isn’t about science, it’s about discriminating against neurodivergent people. It’s eugenics.

Trump: "I think we're gonna have something very very big coming up soon on autism. Autism is totally out of control ... we're gonna have a news conference early next week on autism."

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

getting the special starbucks order honoring charlie kirk (flat white with a hole poked in the side of the cup)

Trump to a female reporter who tries to ask him about his plans for Memphis: "Quiet. You're really obnoxious ... I'm not gonna talk to you until I call on you."

Breaking on MSNBC: U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, who oversees the Eastern District of Virginia, told colleagues he plans to resign. Siebert had been pressured by Trump officials to bring bogus charges against NY AG Letitia James. Siebert did not find evidence to bring those charges.

what the fuck

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Biggest story in the world, told in the mainstream press perfectly well: AP/PBS headline: TRUMP'S MOVES AGAINST MEDIA OUTLETS MIRROR AUTHORITARIAN APPROACHES TO SILENCING DISSENT www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

things you say when you are absolutely not doing anything wrong

i would have guessed that playing footsie with reactionaries would have gotten you some kind of exemption -- guess not

Hey remember last fall, when members of the press credulously reported that Trump would increase high-skilled immigration? This will end it pretty much entirely. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

"Even Geoffrey Hinton, a Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist known as a 'Godfather of AI' — a technology that likely wouldn't exist in its current form without his contributions — recently conceded that his girlfriend had broken up with him using ChatGPT." futurism.com/chatgpt-marr...

we wrote about this WH tactic recently. they’re asking journalists for expert source names and then using them to look up political donations in FEC records to try to discredit those sources as biased. www.npr.org/2025/08/18/n...

The House Oversight Committee has voted to table a motion from Rep. Ro Khanna to subpoena FCC Chair Brendan Carr.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
