Project 2026: Trump's plan to rig the next election From nationalizing voter suppression to flooding the streets with federal agents, the president and his allies are using all the tricks in the authoritarian playbook to tilt the midterms in their…

There is a very real prospect that President Trump could lose the midterms.

It’s ahead of this threat of defeat that he and his allies are working overtime to sway the elections before a single vote is cast. @ariberman.bsky.social reports on the unprecedented moves.

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

He’s trying to get her killed…

This Labor Day, we’re not just honoring workers—we’re demanding the essentials for a better life: fair pay, affordable healthcare, fully funded public schools and a democracy where every voice is heard and every vote counts.

Just throwing this out there, Joe Biden never deployed army troops needlessly to pick up trash and waste tax payer dollars..........JS.

E.P.A. Says It Will Eliminate Its Scientific Research Arm The decision comes after a Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump administration to slash the federal work force and dismantle agencies.

Breaking News: The EPA said that it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists, after denying for months that it intended to do so.

Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

Sadly, I'm afraid that our society is failing this test.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Why Colbert's cancellation marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large

What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.

These F*ckers Are Trying to Break You, Good People. Don't Let Them. (Note: If course language offends you, please don’t read or listen to this piece.

The exhaustion you feel right now?
The heavy sadness that you can’t seem to shake?
The sense of dread that hovers over you like a drone?
The scalding rage bubbling just beneath the surface?
This is all by design.
This is these f*ckers’ master plan…

So grateful for the clear, unequivocal witness and voice of Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social who visited the horrifying detention camp in Florida. As he said, “I didn’t see any Russians who’ve overstayed their visas. Only Black & Latino men who look like me.” @maddow.msnbc.com

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

Pure blood and soil fascism to be sure. But also by this definition, no one who came to this country after 1865 has a viable claim on being an American. Not the Trumps, not the DeSantis’ or the Rubios or the Cruzes, the Ramaswamys and not Vance’s own Indian-American wife and mixed race children.

Looks like the embattled National Weather Service did it's job here. It was Texas officials who failed to act on the weather service warnings for FOUR HOURS. Read this from Austin local news KXAN-TV: www.kxan.com/investigatio...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

5 months in:

Less than 2 months after “Taco,”

2 weeks after the world’s richest man called him a pedophile…

1 week after his failed military birthday parade & the No Kings protests…

24 hrs after he was finally ordered to free Mahmoud Khalil…

…he’s bombing Iran.
That’s how scared they are.

5. Wars are easy to start and hard to stop

Yeah, if some nation bombed our nuclear facilities and then said it was not at war with us, I’m sure we’d accept that.

Today, a United States Senator was arrested for asking a question of a federal official, in a federal building, as was his right.

If it can happen to a sitting U.S. Senator, it can happen to anyone.

Silence is complicity. We are at a crossroads. We must speak up.

To President Zelenskyy, From an Embarrassed American Dear President Zelenskyy,

I hope you realize that I, and tens of millions of Americans stand with you and the Ukrainian people—and firmly against Donald Trump, JD Vance, and the Republican Party.

🚨BREAKING: Federal courts BLOCKS the dismantling of Dept. of Education. This is huge win for @democracyforward.org, their clients and the state AGs.

“The record abundantly reveals that
Defendants’ true intention is to effectively dismantle the Department without an authorizing statute."

America needs us. We are the guardrails against the cruelty and lack of respect for our laws and Constitution. Hear it from @springsteen.

The media who doomed us to fascism with their irresponsible coverage during the last election, are ignoring the current president’s cognitive decline/sociopathy so they can focus on the supposed past deficiencies of President Biden, one of the most successful we’ve ever had.
It’s disgusting.

Among the problems with Trump’s ‘free’ luxury jet from Qatar: It’s not actually free Even if the jet from Qatar were free, this arrangement would still be a legal and ethical mess. But the free plane also wouldn’t be free.

Even if the luxury jet from Qatar were free, this "gift" would still be a legal and ethical mess. But there's a related problem:

The free plane would cost American taxpayers a fortune.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.
