The call has always been coming from inside the house…

I am a trauma response.

Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating. Random street crimes are being used as pretexts for repression.

New in PN: Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating.

"The fact that crime is down conflicts with the ever-present right-wing narrative of a nationwide crime epidemic. So Republicans are resorting to sensationalizing random street fights."

He’s bagging and dragging it to a gulch

The guy from Cake describing his friend’s garden:

He’s growing hibiscus

Unless he's already arranged to give it back.

for the second time this briefing, Trump claims he's "going to Russia" on Friday (he's actually going to Alaska, which is in the United States)

Big men, manly men with tears in their eyes would come up and thank him for taking the best dump they’d ever seen.

Judge Engelmayer’s order rejecting DOJ’s motion to unseal the Maxwell grand jury materials is devastating. Among other things, it demonstrates beyond doubt that someone familiar with the trial record “who reviewed the grand jury materials [DOJ] proposes to unseal would learn next to nothing new.”

Trump’s DOJ just got smacked down in court over Ghislaine Maxwell’s grand jury files.
Judge called it diversion, not transparency.
If they’re this desperate to distract now, expect something explosive to drop before August 14.

Violent Crime in D.C. Hits 30 Year Low Total violent crime for 2024 in the District of Columbia is down 35% from 2023 and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years, according to data collected by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) a...

Trump's own DOJ website still has a press release up from January pointing out that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in more than 30 years.

But he touched young girls and destroyed their lives and didn’t go to jail for even one day.

Thank God it’s finally safe to be at the National Mall in broad daylight. Perhaps next they can clean up the crime-ridden hallways of the Portrait Gallery.

I rarely am, but I am here. We had four years of smart, industrious (neither of which he is) people studying the weaknesses he exposed and calibrating how to use him to exploit those weaknesses. They learned our entire structure is basically the Honor System and are now destroying it.

I feel like “joylessly popped a box of bubble wrap” perfectly encapsulates how most of us feel under the oppressive Trump regime.

Yesterday, after I joylessly popped a box of bubble wrap, 10 yr-old me rolled up in his sweet 5-speed Schwinn Stingray and kicked me square in the jimmies

Donald J. Trump & ( @realDonald Trump Washington, D.C. will be LIBERATED today! Crime, Savagery, Filth, and Scum will DISAPPEAR. I will, MAKE OUR CAPITAL GREAT AGAIN! The days of ruthlessly killing, or hurting, innocent people, are OVER! I quickly fixed the Border (ZERO ILLEGALS in last 3 months!), D.C. is next!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

Trump whipping himself up about cracking down on DC.

The language - “savagery, filth and scum” - should worry any right-minded person.

It’s DC and not NYC but with National Guard Troops being turned loose on Washington, he’s getting one step closer to his dream of shooting someone on the streets and not facing any consequences.

It’s so fucking awful to say it but, you’re probably correct.

From @juddlegum.bsky.social : “Hegseth is a member of a church that is part of Wilson's network, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), in Tennessee.”

Wild that the Sunday shows ignored Hegseth promoting stripping the right to vote from Women.

Stop calling everything he is doing a distraction. They had four years to plan his second term and everything that is happening is purposeful and by design. If you aren’t freaking the fuck out, you should be. Find groups to join. Get up and start organizing.

Such a great day! Thanks for the memories!

OMG stop talking

The “additional revenue” that tariffs are bringing in are tax increases on the American people. WE are paying for these tariffs. There will be no “tax relief” with these tariffs. Only tax increases. Trump is an idiot, JD Vance is not. So he knows he’s lying here. He’s dangerous.👇

A view from behind of Bernie Sanders speaking on stage at the Capitol Theatre in Wheeling, WV on August 8, 2025. It was standing-room only. The energy and enthusiasm was palpable. West Virginians are fired-up!

WE WERE AT THE WHEELING RALLY! We were on the stage behind Bernie! As of right now, two union electricians in the northern panhandle are running for Delegate in the midterms. We CAN elect men & women who are for the working class! And don’t forget, Bernie took every county in WV in the 2016 primary!
