"This is Jasper. He is my neighbor’s dog. I can’t leave the house much due to health issues, so anytime he sees me he RUNS back inside his house to bring me back out one of his favorite toys. Today was his duck. His record is 3 toys and a stick, all at once. What a champ. Be like Jasper."

this answer about what issues matter to him from a college student waiting in line at the Trump rally wasn't what the Fox correspondent expected to hear. She moved on with swiftness

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.

UPDATE: Elon getting sued in Mississippi for environmental violations (as predicted) @justinjpearson.bsky.social points out his TN-9 opponent Brent Taylor has obediently supported Elon the whole way

🚨 HERE WE GO AGAIN: GAS PRICES JUST JUMPED. The national average shot up overnight to $4.29 a gallon — and diesel climbed to $6.32. Americans are getting hammered at the pump and at the checkout line. If you’re sick of paying the price, remember in November — and VOTE OUT all Republicans!

This part. Kushner is whining about the vanity fair story — meanwhile what is already verified and widely reported is corrupt enough as it is.

I’m from Ukraine. I lost my home in Donbas. I lost my dreams. But I didn’t lose my courage. And I didn’t lose my faith in tomorrow. #donbas #ukraine #war #ukrainerussiawar #ukrainians

Elizabeth Warren Is 💯% Correct...

MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔

A sad but perfect metaphor for the Trump Administration. wapo.st/3WF2YQo

This, in a nutshell is why Reagan said that the day we stop welcoming immigrants to our shores is the day we give up our position of leadership in the world. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

DID YOU KNOW? Ukraine’s blue and yellow flag has survived empires, Soviet bans, And generations of oppression. Today, russia is trying to erase it again. But our flag still flies. And it always will💙💛 #ukraine #ukrainians #ukrainiangirl #ukrainerussiawar #ukrainian

we have a pro-democracy, reality-based majority, and a discrete radical minority — mostly white Christian nationalists — that holds views the rest find abhorrent. The latter dominates one major party and holds disproportionate power.... and their views are ethically and politically extreme

WITKOFF TO PUTIN (yes, that Putin): “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute that. I commend you.” 🤯 we are so cooked. Russia was never a hoax.

Do you?! 🤚

Amy Acton is running against former GOP presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy for governor of Ohio. She knew when she decided to run that the attack ads were inevitable. But what happened yesterday was beyond the pale. Link in comments.

Happy Birthday, Madam Vice President

Dear peace negotiators, My home is not a bargaining chip. My childhood memories are not a diplomatic concession. And my country is not something you can divide over dinner.

A despicable ad from Vivek Ramaswamy who is a despicable person. Desperate Republicans have run some horrible, dishonest ads to distract from their failures in office, but maybe none worse than this one.

It appears from court documents, statements from family members, and media reports that Amy Acton’s mother was a pedophile protector. So naturally Republicans use her in an ad against the victim and the MAGA Paid Grifter Network is pushing it because that is who they are.

New in PN: The plot against Ukraine (and Europe) "Trump’s open effort to join nations like Iran & North Korea in aiding Putin’s murderous assault on Ukraine is nothing short of disastrous & will leave a lasting moral stain on the US. But there may be something of a silver lining to this dark cloud"

I just watched a 3-minute IG reel that started with some righteous fury about Jalen Hurts' condition and treatment, then suddenly shifted to "and they CONCEALED that info from EVERYONE WHO BET ON THAT GAME, and I'm pretty sure that's ILLEGAL" and now I want to go back to sleep forever

David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

For the US, which trusts Trump, Ukmay pay with blood and lives!

Midweek update. This is the week when trusting the USA was shown to be a catastrophe. The second part has a detailed primer on the Starlink/Starshield sabotage of Ukraine. This is US being a fully fledged Putin ally and will cause many Ukrainian deaths phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/midweek-up...

Zelenskyy is already being asked to tone down his criticism of Trump. That won’t happen. Looks like the days of Ukraine pandering to countries that betray it are over. Good news

Trump dances to YMCA at a nearly empty rally. He is losing support rapidly.

Use the 25th Amendment Now

CNBC on the September jobs report: "A bit of a disappointment. Expecting 90,000, comes in at 29,000. And we see two month revisions down 60,000 ... average hourly earnings -- this is a big miss. Big, big miss. We were expecting up three tenth. This comes in at one tenth."

Exit polls showed that 75% of truckers voted for Trump in 2024. Now they are struggling to survive.

Go ladies! 💙 Let’s put healthcare back in the hands of doctors and patients not capital.

Let’s remember that Sen. Eric Schmitt is a white nationalist who employs other white nationalists while spreading white nationalist/racist conspiracy theories. missouriindependent.com/2025/09/15/m... White supremacists never fail to demonstrate how they’re inferior:

When a 94-year-old human rights lawyer is arrested under the Anti-Terrorism Law for peaceful protest we really should be on guard the law should not be used as a tool to suppress dissent.

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Trump’s AI guardrail is to have no guardrail. Good luck, everyone.

With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.

Thank you. I’m sure it will. Please send him to Maine for a rally with Collins. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The Constitution is a promise that has never once kept itself. Though it waits, every generation, to find out whether the people living under it will. It’s our turn to answer. And I refuse to believe we’re going to be the generation that went quiet. (Link below)

Working families deserve fairness and accountability

This is the price paid for Trump’s foreign policy: turning allies into adversaries and gradually eroding America’s credibility. Diplomacy is not about bullying; respecting allies is the true measure of American strength.

Even Iceland hates us now because of the Felonious Gangster-in-Chief. Thanks Trump voters, for doing more to wreck America than any of us since 1861.

under remarked on aspect of trump is his deep hatred of natural beauty and the natural world.

What the US needs is a new direction, not the same old politics.
