Trump trying to other Abdul El-Sayed on the extremely solid "funny name" basis but Vivek Ramaswamy is okay on the defending child abusers basis.

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

“David Coletto of Abacus Data polled on that and found that only one-third of the separatist voters truly want Alberta independence. The convinced separatist vote in Alberta is about eight per cent.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/news/braid-a...

calgaryherald.comBraid: That referendum sure as hell wasn't worth $70 millionDanielle Smith's hugely expensive referendum divided Albertans but did solve the crisis in her own party.

and to think republican candidates were worried trump would just talk about himself instead of the republican candidate at these rallies

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

Bobby Kogan@bbkogan.bsky.social

I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

Xi is throwing up high speed rail lines, massive bridges, entire cities in months and Trump thinks he'll be impressed with a helipad

Dan Diamond@ddiamond.bsky.social

We reported in July that Trump was speeding up his helipad project because he wanted to show it off to Xi. Today Trump gave the Chinese president a 10-minute tour of the project. Trump and the White House have also repeatedly shared video of the tour.

Until farmers couldn’t get fertilizer or “potash,”couldn’t afford diesel… they loved Trump. They loved Trump’s hatred of immigrants (whom worked their crops), they loved his white nationalism, racism, misogyny and cruelty. I feel sorry for Americans but not for farmers who voted for this.

Y’all, this is the union difference. Young working-class men in unions are more likely to own a home, get married, and have kids. A union isn’t just about what happens at work. It’s about having the power to build the life you want.
