An amazing profile of a woman who's working her ass off to make medication abortion available throughout the country www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
OSSOFF: How weak a person do you have to be to be unable to stop someone under your own roof from disseminating neo-Nazi propaganda while you run for Senate?
COLLINS: Will you denounce Reid Hoffman?
O: If he was based in my house, then I'd understand you asking me to take responsibility for him
A #mustang rounded up from Utah's Conger Mountains as a #foal, Lightning was confined by an abusive adopter in a filthy 10’x10’ pipe stall that was never cleaned. When he threw his owner off, the man shot him in the head, but he pulled back at the last split second and survived.
There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
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.
1/ Scott Wilson (PhotoAdvocacy) went from the gut-wrenching observation and documentation of the Sand Wash Basin #wildhorse roundup to the opening of Hoof Beats at the CU Boulder Museum of Natural History, alongside First First Gentleman #MarlonReis and Cheyenne Arapaho artist #LewisTallBull.
If I were running for president I would announce everything of Trump’s doing that I planned to undo by executive order on Day 1. And add to it for the next 2 years.
This is on the list.👇👇👇
Stephen Miller’s Office of Remigration was deliberately named to announce to the world that white nationalism is now the basis for US immigration policy.
If Dems win power, they should defund it. They should also defund third-country deportations.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it.
It was effectively banned as it never aired again.
I wonder why.
MEDIA-OPOLY
So in addition to being a former clerk to SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch, Mike Davis’ lobbying clients include Hewlett Packard and Walmart. Have the CEOs of those companies been asked to “disavow” and “sever their relationships” with Mike Davis?? He is a grotesque racist.
A billionaire dictator who'll lose everything if the opposition replaces him on Jan. 20, 2029 is stockpiling killer drones and high-powered rifles on towering monuments and ballroom roofs
I'm sure it's nothing to worry about
1/ The soulful eyes of Steve, who has been picked up in Wisconsin by his namesake. Thank you to everyone who donated to give him the life he deserves. He is safe in the best of hands. We can’t wait to welcome to Skydog.
Hello. This is your reminder that the Russians secretly paid for Donald Trump Jr.’s private island wedding reception.
The entire family is on the take and they believe the American people are suckers who won’t care.
We care.
1/ We are #fundraising to get this 13yo #mustang from Cold Springs OR to Skydog. A kill buyers’s dream, he must weigh a ton - they make a lot of money on a horse like this as they’re sold for their meat by the pound. Let’s get him out of there. To donate: bit.ly/3I1ucWT
🚨 Patel admits agents will be deployed to polling places 👇
WELCH: I thought you weren't going to be sending people to the polls?
PATEL: Nope
W: So you are sending FBI agents?
P: We have election crisis coordinators manned at all 56 field offices. Election integrity is of paramount importance
huh, looks like trump’s cheap beef ploy is one part standard issue trump corruption and one part “republicans are ideologically committed to allowing tainted food on the market” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/07/o...
BREAKING: The Missouri Supreme Court has placed the redistricting referendum on the ballot.
It has also barred the use of the 2025 map in the general election. The 2022 map that almost guarantees Emanuel Cleaver's victory will be in effect.
ENORMOUS
@bluestein.bsky.social I'm shocked that anyone at AJC thought it was a good idea to publish this "op ed," even with the disclaimer that makes it clear Jackson paid for it.
1/ Bess and (Bumble)Bee spent most of their lives wild. What a huge shock to be rounded up, confined, and dumped in the slaughter pipeline without enough to eat. In safe hands now, they will be turned out with a band of seniors, including Mabel, when they have put on weight and recovered.
A tetanus-diphtheria vaccine that doesn’t need a fridge has passed its first human trial. UK scientists reformulated a licensed shot using trehalose, the sugar that lets desert plants survive without water, keeping it stable for up to two years at 30°C. Gavi buff.ly/1kNIUHB#ShareGoodNewsToo
At this point, if Trump ordered troops to deploy to Fifth Avenue with specific orders to shoot Trump’s political opponents on sight, a federal court would issue an injunction, but SCOTUS would overturn it, 6-3 “per curiam,” on the ground that nobody got shot yet, let’s wait and see.
This is Sunbeam. You helped us save her life along with 3 other #donkeys at the kill pen, +1 as she is pregnant. She will be vet checked to make sure she's safe to travel in her condition. We can’t wait to meet them and give them the good life they deserve. #thankyou
Tired of shitting yourself because the GOP's trying to steal votes?
Here's info from a veteran. I live in the US capitol of ballot fraud! The good ol' NC-09.
I've personally been hit by two (2) NATIONAL NEWS-level GOP attempts to steal elections.
BOTH 👏 FAILED 👏 because we WORKED.
Here's how.
Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves
They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇
Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!
NEW: The Trump administration says it will ask the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to pause a judge's Aug. 11 nationwide block on U.S. Postal Service work for President Trump's mail-in voting order if the judge does not pause or cancel that ruling by 5:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday
Prescription drugs are about to get even more expensive.
Trump is coming for Medicare Part D subsidies, which try to keep drug prices down (they're still too high.)
We desperately need Medicare for All. No parts A, B, C, or D. No premiums, co-pays, deductibles. Just healthcare when you need it.
Weeks after Republican U.S. Senate nominee Mike Collins sought to put the furor surrounding his son-in-law’s extremist posts behind him, David Alan Scheer II is still stirring online outrage. 1/ #gapolwww.ajc.com/politics/202...
1/ We call on Interior Secretary Doug Burgum for an immediate suspension of the BLM’s Wild Horse & Burro Sale Authority program following an investigation published today by Dave Philipps #nytimes.
Q: Are you exchanging written letters with Kim Jong Un?
TRUMP: I can't tell you that. But I get along with him great. He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons. He's gonna be fine.
Ossoff: "Now he's threatening to bomb close US partners in the region bc of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is a condition that only arose because of his foolish and reckless decision to plunge us into war after he promised us peace... he's delivered us yet another neocon war of choice"
NEW: Trump admin is urging the Supreme Court to "promptly" clear the way for the Postal Service and other agencies to try to finish carrying out an executive order to restrict mail-in voting for the midterms. It filed this legal brief after a lower court expanded a block on USPS work on the order
Did you know on May 19 a record 2,000,000 Georgians voted in the primary election, and Georgia Democrats got 54% of those votes?
Did you know that’s the highest primary vote share since 1998, the last time we won the Governor’s mansion?
SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism'
C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban
S: Do you stand by it?
C: I stand by that article
S: That's all I need to know
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Things are going really well at the Fulton County election board meeting, where a believer of Trump's election lies just held up an adult diaper and said "shit is going to hit the fan," adding that the FBI is going to arrest them all.
KING: Is there a problem w/ voter fraud?
CLAYTON: I don't think we can say
K: We've had hundreds of analyses
C: I would love for Americans to have incredible confidence in the integrity of our elections
K: I would too & I'd appreciate it if this admin would cease undermining that confidence
OSSOFF: Are you aware that Gabbard was present at the Fulton County raid?
CLAYTON: ...
O: What is going on here?
C: ... ...
O: Are you aware that members of this committee are probing Gabbard's potential misconduct?
CLAYTON: .... Uh uh ....
COTTON: Senator Ossoff your time is expired!
OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election?
CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you
O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election?
C: I'm not gonna get into that with you
O: You're not being honest or forthright
C: ...
Guess what changed after the supreme courts birthright decision?
Literally nothing. The right is acting like they just fell out of a helicopter and panicing
When did the common law rule of birthright citizenship first reach America's shores? 1584. Elizabeth I issued a charter to Sir Walter Raleigh to establish a settlement.
Children born to her subjects would be treated "as if they were borne and personally resident within our saide Realme of England."
Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
America's roughly 1,100 billionaires (and 1 trillionaire) are collectively worth a record $9.24 trillion.
The wealth of the bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households? $4.3 trillion.
It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.
