In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

No one has ever accused Bluesky of being too far to the right, so almost every criticism I’ve heard can be boiled down to “I don’t like being criticized from my left and I’d rather pal around with nazis than have to consider any opinions that don’t come from my right”

Oh shit, questions are being raised. Watch out, next we may start even asking them!

Amy Klobuchar@amyklobuchar.com

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

The deluge of Flock stories are of course horrifying, but they're so widespread and so varied that it just makes you wonder what other bat shit crazy public private partnershit is going on all across the country that no one knows about

New: A Florida county discovered Flock cameras along its roads that officials didn’t know were there. No one has publicly claimed them. Who has operated them — and who has had access to their data — remains a mystery. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Trump proposed an AI Force modeled off the Space Force and I'm amazed how little coverage it's gotten. Meanwhile, industry is racing to influence its creation: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trump-anno...

While the nation turns against Flock and mass surveillance, SF’s Democratic Central Committee—a body with two Flock employees on it—just voted to double down on Flock and mass surveillance. SF Democratic Party leadership is a disgrace right now. Completely captured by conservative tech oligarchs.

Killing the OTA can only be understood as part of the broad, long-running conservative effort to make everyone—including and especially elected officials—dumber and more reliant on the private sector.

Once upon a time, Congress had its own in-house think tank that would research and suggest remedies for technical problems politicians might not have a handle on. Might be a good resource now, ay? Here's @maxmoranhi.bsky.social on the long-lost Office of Technology Assessment:

The idea that anyone’s instagram or TikTok feeds could be described as a place to chat with your friends is so laughable. She’s talking about social networks, which don’t exist anymore, social media is where you get sold supplements

Can social media be addictive? @taylorlorenz.bsky.social says no. “You wanting to communicate and chat with your friends every day is not an addiction,” says Lorenz. “And to frame it that way is incredibly harmful and anti-science.”

That NYT/Siena poll also has Mamdani +5 *nationally* among likely voters. Newsom nationally is like -8, Harris -7. 2025 was such a wacky time for the Democratic Party consultant-pundits, who called Mamdani one of the "most unpopular Democrats in the country"

BLS this morning, with revised 2Q data: "The labor share, which is the percentage of output that accrues to workers in the form of compensation, was 52.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, the lowest level in the series, which begins in the first quarter of 1947."

I feel like we are just getting to the tip of the iceberg on the astroturf campaign around “Abundance”. I snapped this photo at my local SF library earlier this year. Six copies, no other book came close. Now that’s what I call abundance!

Perry Bacon@perrybaconjr.bsky.social

In my last job (Washington Post Opinion section), I was asked repeatedly to write about the book "Abundance." I kept making excuses. Finally, I just bluntly stated that there are many, many books published about politics and it was strange that the entire political media was obsessed with this one.

“Mamdani is the political personification of this. He’s the smiling face fighting back. He’s the resistance of a city that has long been captured by capital on the verge of reform. Lurie is also a smiling face, but he’s the reverse. He’s fighting on behalf of power in a place on the verge of capture

Here in San Francisco the sneaky way we’re getting our Flock cameras is that Mayor Lurie lets his billionaire friends buy them as a “gift” to the city. Don’t need to argue over budgets when oligarchs get to pick their pet projects

$1 fee on auto insurance. A settlement with Big Pharma intended to help opioid victims. This money has been spent by state and local governments... to purchase Flock cameras. One reason people don't trust these things is that they've been installed in such sneaky ways. prospect.org/2026/09/01/h...

It's not that universal healthcare = no fascism. People in France are being squeezed the same as people in the US. Yes, they are starting from a better place having universal healthcare, but decline is decline and feels bad even with healthcare. People are going to look for someone to blame.

Alex Says Stuff@alexsaysstuff.bsky.social

It's true, the claim more left-wing economic policy will weaken far-right popularity has been proven wrong. But the claim that adopting some of the far-right's social policy will weaken far-right popularity has also been proven wrong. Other people being wrong doesn't automatically make you right.

I’ve always heard when you’re a political party trying to win and there’s a subject you think is a loser for your side, a huge liability. What you want to do is go on national tv and really focus all your attention on that issue. It’s why you see everyone Republican railing about Epstein.

I... was not ready for that paragraph

404 Media@404media.co

Fultz denied was using Flock to stalk his ex. He claimed to investigators that he may have been showing her how it works, and denied spying on her. The report also states that he said “he had her location on Snapchat, so it wouldn’t have benefitted him to track her on Flock.” But that's not all.

Chief Justice Roberts has issued an “administrative” stay In the ballroom case—which effectively allows Trump to keep doing what he’s doing while the full Court decides whether to let him keep working indefinitely while the case moves forward (which it probably will, given this intervention).

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

data4democracy.substack.comHook and SqueezeHow Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
