Desert Mage

President Trump temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether. Our investigative reporter Eric Lipton explains how corporate interests took power inside the EPA. Read more: nyti.ms/4il3336

Best way to fight back? Vote. Minnesota: You can vote now or cast your ballot by November 3.

This needs to be said openly: This is what happens when the government is led by someone who attempted a coup d’etat, and his agencies are run by his stooges.

Fascinating that as even as other Republicans who long ago sold their souls to MAGA still have enough baseline political acumen to see how poisonous this is, Vance is completely oblivious. It isn't just that he has no principles, decency, or moral compass, he's also really fucking bad at politics.

Somalian. He's Somalian. www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

A previous generation of professional ratfuckers might not have balked at this on *moral* grounds, but they’d at least have recognized that normal people would find it repugnant. The current crop are so divorced from humanity they’ve lost even the ability to imagine how decent people think.

ok

And as I say every year, the worst part is knowing there is no game tomorrow. As much as I shit talk them being a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been the honor of my life

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This is incitement. Racist incitement.

Just saying...

Put Big Balls in a vice. He’ll squeal like a little piggy.

Shoot this directly into my veins.

When the Democrats take the House in November, they're going to have a rich target field for impeachments. I'd start with the guy who looks like an old catcher's mitt and sounds like a dying bullfrog.

This is ethnic cleansing, à la Stephen Miller. He needs to face justice for this.

Amnesty International calls for ICE to be abolished

Sad excuse for journalism: Big profile of DOGE lord doesn’t say a word about all the damage he did. And it was not an “ill fated cost-cutting effort.” It was a malignant, catastrophic attack on the government and its workers by arrogant and ignorant assholes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

A bunch of guys in hard hats standing around and he's raving and gesturing mutely. This us pure comedy gold. Every attempt at revenge against his enemies just involves this stupid loser stepping on his own dick.

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Just further enshrining the canonical conservative belief that being called racist is worse than being racist.

If you're wondering why Hair Furor is offering 5K bribes to vote GOP, this poll will make everything clear.

Oh wait, someone has thought of this before!

The people who orchestrated this monstrous assault on human dignity need to be brought to justice.

Stephen Miller killed this kid as surely as if he’d shot him in the heart. There’s no hell hot enough…

The monsters who did this need to experience the same treatment themselves. Tom Homan needs to find himself stranded in Liberia. Stephen Miller needs to wake up in Equatorial Guinea. Let them try and make a new life for themselves there.

It's a complex message to convey and designed to be that way. So what can EVERY DEM say instead, instead of attacking Twitch streamers they've never even watched: THE WORST OF WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS DOING HAS NOT EVEN BEGUN TO BE FELT YET

This is what happens when you put a crazed ideologue in charge of the nation's healthcare system. It will take a generation to fix the problems he has caused. In the list of administration malefactors to impeach first, this guy belongs near the top.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

This is how you do it.

Overheard at movie pitch meeting: "OK, hear me out. It's a new COINTELPRO, only set in the world of Idiocracy."

It’ll come down even faster. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/u...

the play here is to make ossoff defensive by calling him sexist, something liberals care about but they don't. The problem is, they *used* to pretend to care and now they're like "let's rip up anti-discrimination law, repeal the 19th and force most women to be homemakers" bsky.app/profile/matt...

I have to be honest, I find Jon Ossoff a trifle stiff and humorless, but he’s obviously brilliant and articulate, and he gets my vote because all he had to do was just say three words and the MAGAverse spontaneously combusted. 

It's not an unreasonable hypothesis that the federal government actively wants to sicken and kill its population. And so the greatest republic on earth ends not with a bang but a splat.

Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel: publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller…

It's an all hands on deck moment. Lawyers need to do their job to protect elections. Courts must do their job to ensure the law is followed. And, voters must make sure they have a plan to vote and turn out.

If you find yourself dooming, it's worth recalling that Trump has neither the legal nor (more importantly) the practical ability to effectively federalize & rig the midterms. But if you find yourself complacent, it's important to note he can cause a whole lot of chaos by illegally trying & failing.

If you’re hiding in a catering truck when you control the most powerful military in the world, you aren’t winning.

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

Running out of body bags, using forklifts to transfer corpses into makeshift morgues, a mortician conducting 200 funerals in a month when he usually does 30, crematories running at double capacity… And these senators just want to memory-hole it all www.nytimes.com/2020/04/30/n...
