Cleveland Plain Dealer reverses their decision to stay neutral and endorses @amyactonoh — a true leader and public servant.

Ohio! I’m heading to Cleveland for a rally to support @amyactonoh.bsky.social and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social. Make sure you have a plan to vote: IWillVote.com/OH

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Exactly. And who was it that dragged us into this stupid war of choice, Mike?

"The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce ... The fundamental dignity of each person, therefore, is neither acquired nor earned, nor does it need to be justified ... The dignity of every human person can be described as infinite" "Magnifica Humanitas."

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

Collins just got more beatable

The Trump media ban is revelatory. Of course what Trump has done violates the constitution. But note that no official refused to implement it- violating their oaths of office to us. Tells you everything you need to know - and worry about in the administration’s response to the midterm elections.

I paid $5.50/gal for 93 octane. $50 to fill the tank. It's all that idiot Trump's fault.

(NYT) - Republicans spent the first five hours of their midterm convention in Dallas warning about socialism on Wednesday before President Trump surprised many of them with an audacious trillion-dollar proposal to redistribute wealth. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/u...

Trump’s 9/11 comment that he went down to the scene to help has been a lie he’s repeated for 25 years. It’s his own version of stolen valor. He did nothing except go on TV & brag that he now owned the tallest building in Manhattan after the towers went down. Which was also a lie.

"you don't have medicaid because trump wanted to build the arch" and "you don't have SNAP because he wanted to build a ballroom." make republicans have to sputter and say "well actually it is private donations"

Everything is getting more expensive, and Trump isn’t doing shit about it. Instead he’s remodeling the White House and renaming bodies of water. It’s pathetic.

it is not high on the list of course but undoing all the dumb trump renamings is definitely on the list

There’s no “rampant fraud.” And you know it.

not going to defend anyone in this shit administration but i highly doubt trump was 'misled' by anything other than his own ignorance and incuriousness

Donald Trump dodged the draft but is happy to post photos of himself in uniform while he sends our kids to die in his war.

RFK, Jr., once again making the case that he, not Hegseth nor any of the rest of Clown Car Cabinet, is the most dangerously unfit cabinet secretary.

He literally doesn’t give a shit that his war, his tariffs, and his inflation have decimated your bank account and taken money out of your wallet.

A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits. (Published April)

Shouldn’t have teed it up with Trump maybe

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father, a husband, an employer, and a proud immigrant who worked hard for 35 years to achieve the American Dream for his family. He did everything right. ICE shot and killed him. It is an outrage to anyone with a conscience.

"Americans love America. They are of America. And so they like a leader who reminds them of the good stuff while not sugarcoating or shying away from the hard stuff." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social reacts to Jon Ossoff's rally speech, with @hcrichardson.bsky.social:

"He only did some amazing stuff during a pandemic and a Russian invasion of central Europe, and left one of the best economies in 35 years, but he didn't completely overhaul the Supreme Court." Also, he didn't vow to serve one term. Good Lord, some Democrats are impossible to please

It'd be a scandal for a Cabinet secretary *without* a daughter with Down syndrome to say this, of course, but this really is fucking enraging.

BREAKING: Judge Sullivan just granted my Motion for Preliminary Injunction, ordering Todd Blanche to produce TO THE PUBLIC, on or before July 2nd, specific UNREDACTED Epstein Files documents or show cause as to why they should not be produced. Details to come! www.courtlistener.com/docket/73246...

Rep. Brian Mast: "Ok, maybe they do end up getting $20 billion, let's say. Let's say we're still $300 to $500 billion ahead considering we destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force ... " (So American taxpayers paid both to bomb Iran and then for Iran's reconstruction ... )

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

Need more Knicks revelry 🏀

Yes Brunson and the comeback and the final shot…all unreal. But this Towns embrace of Anunoby was my favorite part.

The practical effect of the Platner nomination is that the Democrats should redouble their efforts in all of the other more winnable Senate races now, just hunker down for whatever's coming next about Platner, and try not to let the fallout hit other Dem races.

We should have immaculate vibes and a rocking Garden at tip off,instead we’re going to have fans straggling in throughout the first quarter.

me at work today

Reminder that this guy is using his current job to go after Trump’s political opponents by illegally digging through their mortgage records. He’ll now have access to America’s most sensitive secrets. Don’t be surprised when he illegally uses his new post to do Trump’s dirty work.

Everyone deserves access to fresh, local produce—and family farms in Massachusetts are leading the way to make that happen! Great to visit Dan & his brother John from Smiarowski Farms in Sunderland. They grow asparagus, delivered to schools, restaurants, & grocery stores across the Commonwealth!

(1/3) Throughout the Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour, we on E Street have been working with local organizations in defense of liberty and justice for immigrants and other marginalized communities at concerts across the country.

Me in my Bluesky bubble.

So Trump blew up Obama's deal with Iran, launched a new war, depleted our arsenal, cost us tens of billions, exposed the US as weaker to the world, and ended up just going back to a version of Obama's deal but worse? Do I have that right?

Colbert is both a mensch and an actual genius. One of one. He and @maddow.bsky.social are the two best broadcasters of our time; truly in their own category. I'm angry and sad the president and the feckless suits cancelled the show but also know it's not the end.

Jared Polis should resign today and never return to politics.

Republicans are trying to roll back the decades of progress we’ve made towards fair representation in Congress and equal rights at the ballot box. Not on our watch. We’re fighting to take back our country.

there is far too much going on right now I’m sorry you just cannot drop a New John Travolta

The President is telling the IRS to give him $10 billion rn

Was there ever a hand-wringing WaPo piece on “tree, rope, journalist, some assembly required” or any of the other psycho right-wing memes over the years? I doubt it. It’s only a problem when it’s pointed right.

If enacted, the rule change will require intellectually disabled young people as well as very elderly people to file multiple 20-page reports if they want to continue their benefits even at the reduced level.
