Annie Karni @anniekarni Trump himself called Boebert, regarding her signing onto the Epstein petition and spoke to her yesterday, I am told. Trump playing phone tag with Mace. So far, they are not planning to remove their names from the petition.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

FWIW, the current stats:

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Imagine devoting your entire life to prostrating yourself before this man and when you die trying to further his movement he eulogizes you by saying "lmao skill issue git gud"

The Viral MAGA Accounts Run by a Man Who Has Never Been to America Two influential MAGA social media accounts are run by Rumen Naumovski, a Macedonian who may have illegally donated to a U.S. election.

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

Alt text: Screenshot of a Fox News Digital article reporting that Apple removed the ICEBlock tracking app from its App Store after the Department of Justice raised safety concerns. The article states DOJ officials, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, asked Apple to take down the app, claiming it endangered law enforcement officers and shielded illegal immigrants. Bondi confirmed the removal in a statement, saying ICEBlock put ICE agents at risk and emphasized DOJ’s commitment to protecting federal officers.

This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone.

The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

Finally, someone willing to ask the questions we're all demanding answers to.

Typically when presidents are oblivious to things the press would go on with a news cycle about how the president is “aloof” and out of touch. It’s just one of many things Trump can exhibit without consequence.

If you want to cancel Disney, but are reluctant to do so because your kids like to watch one or more of its shows, then this is an opportunity for you to step up and be a good parent. Explain to them why you are cancelling it. Teach them about doing the right thing. Kids are smarter than you think.

Holy shit scorched earth motherfucker

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.

Collective boycott.

Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

That the media cites a "far-left anti-fascism group Antifa" without pointing out that there is no such group remains wild. Like, did you call the head of Antifa to get a reaction? No? Because that person doesn't exist? Maybe point that out.

“He’s not an autocrat because he won an election” is a world historically stupid take. Read a book!

Michigan education groups call for lawmakers to sign funding pledge The groups are calling on lawmakers to affirm that any budget they approve will include specific funding levels outlined in the document to support basic school programming.

Ezra- Your piece on the death of Charlie Kirk was reckless, insulting, condescending, and worst of all, a piece of hagiography. For someone who claims to honor history and context in your work, it reads as if it was written by someone who respects neither of those things.  What does it mean to practice politics in the "right way"? For whom does a "taste for disagreement" benefit? Certainly not the vulnerable populations—trans people, Black women, and more—who Kirk routinely targeted with hate speech and calls for violence.  When I was a college intern at NBC News Washington in 2008, I would watch your MSNBC appearances on the monitor in our office. At that point I could only dream of having a platform like yours, which has grown exponentially since then. Now that I have a platform (albeit it much, much smaller than yours) and I couldn't fathom using it to gaslight the country into believing a hateful man stood for a public good. Maybe it's time to consider how you're using yours.  Marisa

Epstein's Birthday Letter Apparently Signed by Trump Is Released: Live Updates

Breaking News: A House committee obtained a sexually suggestive drawing apparently signed by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, which Trump had denied existed.

Spoken like a man found liable for sexual abuse.

Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger.

You didn’t earn the right to wear it.

Stolen valor at its worst.

This week on MichMash, Alethia and I discuss how the big pressure point for public schools is Oct. 20 if there is no state budget in place by Oct. 1. The guest is @mccannr1.bsky.social of the K-12 Alliance of Michigan. Listen on any podcast platform!

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

This a really solid pummeling, and Farage has earned every ounce of it.

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDER NEW MEXICO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SECRETARY GINA DEBLASSIE AUGUST 29, 2025 Ensuring Availability of COVID-19 Vaccine for the 2025-2026 Season

THIS ORDER supersedes any previous order, proclamation, or directives to the extent they are in conflict. This Public Order shall take effect immediately and remain in effect until such time as it automatically expires one year from the date of issuance, or until such time as the New Mexico Department of Health Cabinet Secretary rescinds it.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Tweet from Stuart Stevens: When Democrats take the House, they must understand they are not a governing party. They are a dissident movement. Act like it. First day: - cut off all funding of Exec. Branch -vote to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX -defund ICE That's the first day. On the second, get more aggressive. There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos.

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
