@thecourierjournal.bsky.social And this is so bad. Written by 18 year old intern? Or is this AI? We/UofL do not play Vandy.

@thecourierjournal.bsky.social This is so bad. Wondered where he was going in Louisville - to protest not support. But not in town this week. IN OHIO.

I said this in a NY Times story last week about the WA millionaire tax, but let’s bring back shame. Even if billionaires don’t know it’s wrong to do shit like this, they should know it’s embarrassing.

10/3 Maine Governor Janet Mills calls on Congress to urgently add money to the federal low-income heating assistance program as home heating oil prices hover around record high in Maine #maine #MEpolitics

Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

Reminder to not vote for independents.

President Trump continues to roll out the red carpet for autocrats. First Putin, now Xi. Shamefully wining & dining our adversaries as he kicks our allies to the curb.

It's really funny to say "we are likely to receive a resounding election defeat largely driven by this war and once the election is over and there is a mandate to end it, I am tripling down."

Mary Peltola stood in Valdez with prices every Alaskan understands: $5.25 for gas, $6.75 for diesel. Dan Sullivan voted 12 times to continue the Iran war, and each vote drove fuel costs higher across Alaska. He chose the war. Alaskan families, fishermen, and truckers got the bill #momsky#sheshed

Every taxpayer, no matter your party, should be outraged by this. Your money is being used to fund campaign ads for Trump. It’s totally completely illegally. He’s stealing your money for his campaign. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/u...

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

9/24 ProPublica’s reporters say Senator Collins is now making “incorrect and misleading claims” #maine #MEpolitics

"Gentlemen, our 29% approval rating is too high. Let's start take away people's health care."

Trump has now refunded $128 billion dollars from his tariffs to corporations. Tariffs he created, made Americans pay for, and then returned right back to his donors. We paid, and his friends cashed in.

Put aside the merits of policies and this is still one of the worst Congresses in history. Much of what Trump does would be 'bad but constitutional' if the GOP Congress passed bills for it, but they don't, and yet they also don't pass anything to rein him in, so it's a permanent governance crisis.

"Since the federal takeover, he spends four nights a week pedaling his bike up and down the same streets, recording agents as they arrest his neighbors. On the scene, he lists rights for people getting arrested and asks if they’d like him to contact anyone..." www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

I guess he’s right, we are becoming like China when it comes to civil liberties. bsky.app/profile/atru...

As a former trade official, I feel comfortable in saying that there has never been a president who was more clueless about trade and how it works than Trump. Maybe no official in our history. (Except possibly Peter Navarro.)

Ron Filipkowski: The 75 Most Corrupt Things Trump Did in 2026. So far. The scams, schemes and grifts have been endless, as the Trump Family seems to spend most of their time and energy finding new ways to profit off the presidency. Here is my Top 75.

Newsom: "Do you know how much his supporters lost on that memecoin? It's down 98%. They lost $3.8 billion. His supporters. And he took home over $600 million. That says everything you need to know about the president of the United States, Donald Trump, about who this man is."

Stolen Oaks/Derby weekend from Queen Ave tailgating. Anybody seen this? (A few years ago.) Received from Luke Hancock in Indy 2017.

There’s a special place in Hell for GOP legislatures esPECIally in Appalachia who kneecapped everything she wanted to do and all of the people for whom she cared who now performatively “mourn her death and praise her works”. At least there’s a zero chance they’ll run into her in their afterlives.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts lifted restrictions preventing the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from implementing President Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

First came the collapse of colonial empires. Then, the collapse of the last vestiges of those, the so-called "superpowers." A just global order calls for a more equitable division of power among states. What Carney is getting at is a major historical watershed that is, I believe, well under way.

What do you do when you've launched a moral panic about transgender athletes in the WNBA, but there has never been an active trans player in the league? Simple: you start a conspiracy theory about every single woman on the court.

2022 August (sorry don't have source)

This article is from last year but still resonates. Dr. Frances Kelsey, then FDA's new medical officer in 1962, refused to approve Thalidomide, that was linked to birth defects. She was called stubborn. In 2026, we have an unqualified loyalist as our next FDA head. 🧪 19thnews.org/2025/10/fran...

In an extraordinary move, a federal judge has ordered the government to turn over to her all materials presented to grand jurors in the conspiracy case against 38 people, including journalists. It's tied to the anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in StP over the winter. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

All of these Natalie Harp stories are leaking for one reason: Someone in the West Wing is sick of Harp’s shit. Probably just a coincidence that it’s all happening as Leavitt is leaving.

The City of Louisville is fully on board with #ICE now. It’s a slippery slope with dead bodies, suffering families, and broken promises at the bottom.

The guy who did such an incredible job with the Reflecting Pool, Ballroom, Kennedy Center, National Mall, and Great American Fair is going to redesign our warships. What could go wrong?

We disgrace ourselves as a nation each and every day Donald Trump remains in office. The drafters of the United States Constitution provided a remedy for a criminally insane president like the one we have—impeachment and removal ...

If you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

Trump's attacks on suspected drug boats are arguably crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Court likely has jurisdiction -- if they take place within the territory of a member set (Venezuela or Colombia) OR on a boat registered in it. warontherocks.com/internationa...

As I said repeatedly during Trump 1.0, Trump sees the U.S. Treasury as his personal piggy bank. But back then, he couldn’t find a way to siphon it to himself. This time around, he has: shakedowns, crypto, and the slush fund. With the added bonus of paying off his own shadow army.

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.

Bernie Moreno was a car salesman with a record of wage theft and employment discrimination. Anthony Fauci was the director of NIAID from 1984 to 2022 and in 2008 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work fighting HIV/AIDS in that role.

This is why they’re going after Dr Fauci: he impeded grifters

2024 memory as seen on sowal

2024 memory. I like it.

The U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals denied the Trump administration’s request to pause a lower court order that blocks the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from executing the president’s March executive order attacking mail voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
