4) educating the public about what the White House is planning.

We need to prepare by 1) debunking the false premise of a stolen 2020 election, 2) keeping a close eye on known election deniers in positions of authority, 3) demanding that blue states reject federal interference in their elections and deny access to voting records, systems, and data, and

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.

Graphic from Pete Buttigieg that reads "The job market is getting worse. Prices and costs are up - not down as Trump promised would happen from "day one." Americans' everyday lives are very obviously not better than they were a year ago. And that’s why the President has become so strikingly unpopular."

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

State emergency responders got almost everyone to safety, but if you relied on US Government sources, you wouldn't know a deadly storm destroyed much of two Native Alaskan villages.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Thursday he’s prepared to cancel funding approved by Congress that he believes is going toward programs supported by Democrats, though he didn’t share any additional details during a Cabinet meeting.

“We’ll give them a little taste of their own medicine.”

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Blessing your feed with some baby arctic foxes.

At this time of year, young foxes in Finland are leaving the den to start life on their own.⁠

The arctic fox is a critically endangered species in Finland but the good news is, numbers have been increasing in recent years.🧡

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The FCC once enforced the "fairness doctrine," requiring broadcasters to air both sides of an issue. Now, the FCC enforces an unfairness doctrine, threatening broadcasters that air views critical of Trump or his MAGA right.

The legacy media has its headlines all wrong again. Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t cancelled because of what he said about Charlie Kirk. He was cancelled because Trump wanted him off the air. We need to stop buying their narrative. I bring the receipts in today’s piece, link in replies.

Oh, so *this* is what the 🔥 emoji is for.

Surrendering to tyranny only invites more of it.

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.

No notes

This of course is followed by renaming other departments to Pestilence, Famine, and Death.

In case folks had any doubts about the fate of Michigan House R’s trans discrimination bill. Read the message Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks had for the children’s table (Matt Hall’s caucus). Moving on. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Plaque honoring officers who defended the Capitol Jan 6

This is the plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6.

It was approved by Congress 3 years ago, but the GOP won't allow it to be installed.

It is sitting in a Capitol basement utility room surrounded by tools and maintenance equipment.

DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data at Risk, Whistle-Blower Says

Just after SCOTUS granted it access to Social Security, DOGE uploaded a database containing the private information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an unsecure cloud.

DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

Show me your budget, and I'll show you your values

This is in fact how that timeline unfolded.

🚨 @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on Trump's handling of Epstein:

"His response...has revealed how gullible he wants to think his own base is."

Is there a list?

"What I know is...there's enough of a there there that they said they would push it out and then they won't."

I know we all inhabit history but I would prefer to be living in an era that gets a few lines in the book and not multiple chapters

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host.

"Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.

Maurene Comey’s farewell note to the SDNY after being fired by the Trump administration. Yet another warning.
