NINTH DEMOCRATIC FLIP OF THE NIGHT IN VIRGINIA!

Kacey Carnegie has flipped #HD89 (Harris+3), a seat vacated by a retiring Republican incumbent

Stacey Abrams at #NoKings Atlanta #NoKingsATL

They did this to a child. Shameful.

I was going to go anyway, but this is a rallying cry for every single normie person to show up. You have zero excuse not to and we need to be counted. I’ll be there in my middle-aged mom garb with a flag. The June one was 100% chill and peaceful.

What a waste of breath. There’s no debate—countries that don’t let every domestic abuser and mentally ill person buy assault weapons are safer. Not complicated. And all the 2A extremists who “need” their guns to prevent govt overreach are strangely quiet in this moment of govt overreach, so

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

Yes to every single idea in this @clarajeffery.bsky.social story on soft secession. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

My mother’s Humana MA plan was just canceled.

The way we save this country is to abolish from the minds of leaders the diseased idea that every political or legal act must be rationalized for an imagined Real American audience of yokels, slobs, racists, and nativists that are presumed to be watching from some indeterminate Midwestern locality.

In addition to grifting she inherited Pop pop’s penchant for rogue, non-grammatical capitalizations

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

But it’s irrelevant to Bezos if it makes money—boycotting Amazon might have an impact eventually but that’s a hard one to rally people around.

Watching Hakeem Jeffries on Lawrence O’Donell and it’s so depressing. “Saving” the healthcare everyone hates is all they’ve got? He’s just not up to this.

One thing that I think is pretty established as increasing autism risk is older fathers. Like Trump when he had Barron, for example.

I took Tylenol during my first pregnancy because I had terrible headaches in the first trimester and was told Advil wasn’t safe. My now-teen is not autistic (though it wouldn’t be a tragedy if she was).

Also the whole thing made me realize that we were paying for Hulu but nobody in my family was really using it and only one of us knew the password. So we’re saving $240/year.

Canceled Hulu over the phone today (the website wasn’t working) and she read me a prepared statement so clearly it’s been happening a lot.

Without understanding the details, these look like mostly Dems in purple, flip-floppy districts so I prefer them voting in whatever way doesn’t put their seats at risk (if that’s what’s happening here).

Trump on Truth Social: We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!

WaPo headline: A gunman shot at the CDC, killing an officer. Trump hasn't said a word. Subhed: Trump has said nothing about the police officer killed by a gunman who sho at the CDC, an example of how selective he can be amid his daily torrent of words. Updated August 15, 2025

Contrast the immediacy with which Donald Trump responded to the Charlie Kirk shooting with the lack of response to the CDC shooting last month.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Trump Says U.S. Military Has ‘Never Fought to Win’ Since World War II

1/ Never forget that this draft-dodger warmonger said having unprotected sex in the 80s was his “personal Vietnam” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

Heard him on Ezra Klein’s podcast and his philosophy is weird AF and not coherent. Is he an Israeli plant trying to make the US more xenophobic and nationalist to justify Israel? These people are so gd weird.

Gunman in Midtown mass shooting fired 47 rounds during attack, officials say The Las Vegas casino security supervisor who sold the assault-style rifle used in Monday's mass shooting in a Park Avenue office building complied with the law, his attorney said.

Assault weapons like the one used to kill four people and wound one more in Midtown Manhattan last week are designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time. They have no place in our communities.

Text BAN to 644-33 to demand a federal assault weapons ban.

Miss United States Files Restraining Order Against GOP Rep. Cory Mills Lindsey Langston reported the Florida Republican to law enforcement for harassment last month.

Another Republican sex pest. How many is that now? Eleventy?

Astrology makes at least as much sense as traditional sky Daddy religion. Let people believe things that give them comfort. As long as they’re not in positions of power creating policy around it.

I don’t want another female candidate for Pres for at least a decade. Stakes are too high.
