Again: If this were Biden it would be front page news and Fox would be talking about it non stop.

Once again Trump gets a pass.

Nice to see he woke up enough after his Gatsby party to realize that the government is still shutdown because of the Republicans and healthcare is still spiking because of the Republicans.

Stay strong holding out for affordable health care for millions! The GOP are losing the public’s support due to this shut down. It’s exposing their awful agenda. Stay strong, we support Dem victory. When we get congress back, tax those billionaires and correct the system back to a fairer balance.

A great passage from a great novel.

The Oppermanns, 1933.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Understood. We'll talk to Hakeem Jeffries later in the program. I want to ask you about what the President just announced in regard to Canada. Today, the President said he wants to raise tariffs on Mexico. Yesterday, he said he's going to raise tariffs on Canada by 10%. He blames what he called a fraudulent ad that featured Ronald Reagan advocate- advocating for free trade. It was put up by the province of Ontario. Is this ad really the issue here, or is it just a tactic in this negotiation? Does the President want the USMCA free trade deal renegotiated, or is he looking to do two separate deals, one with Canada, one with Mexico?

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it.

Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false.

NYT: "When asked if the president had a comment on the demonstrations, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, gave a brief response in an email. "'Who cares,' she said.

Can you imagine a more sociopathic response?

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Portlanders standing strong! This is one block in the city at their one ice facility, a very small scale event compared to the size of Portland. This, Fed actions in Chicago and elsewhere are cruel and despicable, but we the people are many and mighty - they will not box US into Fascism!

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.

DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

Again, this is what the SCOTUS has sanctioned. On Sept. 10th @chrislhayes.bsky.social and I talked about Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion white-washing ICE raids in Noem v. Vazquez Perdomo. His fact-free opinion was either naive, lazy, or sinister. The Trump Admin read it as a green light.

It’s absolutely despicable that these oligarchs are stealing our tax dollars and lecturing us about how we can’t have basic things and good things. And it’s really to pay returns to the buddy of Treasury Sec Bessent’s buddy who invested heavily in Argentina through his hedge fund. It’s gross.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

β€œIt was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. β€œEven if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.”…

β€œStuff was everywhere…people’s birth certificates, and papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy.”

Oregon sues to block Trump from deploying state’s National Guard in Portland ”Local law enforcement has this under control,” the governor said.

NEW: Oregon says Trump/Hegseth’s deployment of 200 National Guard troops is an unconstitutional abuse of power. The case has been assigned to Judge Michael Simon, an Obama appointee (and nephew of Neil Simon!)
