They dont even bother to hide the rascism anymore while they spew their lies.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The irony of Trumps baseless, racist claims against El-Sayed is that he and his son and law cant get enough money from people in the Middle East.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump on El-Sayed: "We can't him in the United States-- we can't have him in the United States Senate. I look so forward to Michigan. I think it's gonna be wild. Because he's a total phony. He's a little phony. He's a jihadist. He's a vicious, violent jihadist."

Step 1 of election denying is say the polls are off. Step 2 is to feign surprise when your party loses and Step 3 is to say the election was rigged.

Mike Johnson offers a conspiracy theory to explain away his party's dire polling: "I believe there's a concerted effort between Democrats and the mainstream media that's openly biased in their favor to discourage the Republican side"

Just like the poor white men who lashed out to end reconstruction and implement the reign of terror known as the KKK. And the youth in 1930s Germany who felt forgotten and joined the Nazi party. And they still have a voice today with Mike Collins bc he is one of them.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Mike Collins makes apologies for white nationalists like his son in law: "These people feel like they've been forgotten. And they're just lashing out."

This is fascism . Omar, Comey, James, Smith and others who have criticized the president all are subject to baseless criminal investigations. In Omar's case its just weeks before her election and I am sure thats no coincidence.

#BREAKING: Federal immigration officials raided the home of Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar early Monday morning, according to Fox News. The raid was connected to a criminal investigation over immigration-related paperwork, Fox said.

The President of the United States. A rascist, demented, crooked legged POS who falls asleep in every meeting, lies about his illegal war, inflation and his corruption - who also has no sense of humor & can't land a "joke" over what I assume is a bigoted border wall reference.

Trump: "The greatest ballroom ever built -- it's also a tremendous military complex with a drone port on top. Be careful. Don't fall over the edge. And only a Hispanic could survive that fall."

This is how its done, son! Stop letting the media draw us into discussions of boys in girls sports while your at it to too, candidates! Focus on the real issues facing us - the economy, corruption of this office and the immorality of GOP policies.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

The NYT has been normalizing his behavior for years. This is a cult and he is a fascist leader who has his FCC ban interviews of democrats, pressure people to abandon the constitution and spread lie after lie.

Dean Baker@deanbaker13.bsky.social

The NYT lies for Trump, again www.nytimes.com/video/us/pol... Contrary to the NYT headline, Trump didn't pledge his followers to vote for him; he pledged his followers to cheat for him (literally).

They never has a reason for this war. They never had a military strategy. They have no credibility to try and negotiate a truce through diplomacy. Now they have no exit plan and the energy secretary doesn't want to discuss the crippling gas prices they've caused.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BASH: Gas prices Labor Day weekend are the highest on record. Isn't it possible gas prices could go up even more? CHRIS WRIGHT: I don't want to have an opinion on that BASH: As the energy secretary, shouldn't you have an opinion? WRIGHT: If I had to guess, they are more likely to go down than up

This has to be a priority for the Dems after November (*knocking on wood). We need hearings on just how many people ICE has murdered, abused and kidnapped and changes need be made ASAP - also each state needs to prosecute and sue the damn federal govt if they interfere!

Dolly was an angel among us. Legendary talent and one of the most prolific writers ever. She was a feminist even before 9 to 5 (listen to the Bridge). She spoke out for BLM and LGBTQ rights and gave back a sh!t ton to her community and the US. She was woke AF, but loved by left and right. RIP 👸 🦋

There are days I am convinced we are never coming back from this.

Andrew Weinstein@andrewjweinstein.com

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.

Im not surprised that Trump chooses a dictator over democracy. I am a little shocked that our military is OK with weakening of our alliance with South Korea - how many Americans - our parents and grandparents - died to preserve this democracy, but this lunatic can declare for the other side?

This post is unavailable.

So true - our country is a mess - from inflation, job losses, ICE hurting innocents, corruption, bigotry, devisiveness, cuts reducing services worldwide, destroying our monuments and the arts, depleting weapons and hurting service members for a stupid war. We are weaker and sicker than ever.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Marc Elias is singlehandedly battling for our democracy every day - in the courts and on line. His takedown of Paramount CEO Ellison is worth a read!

My open letter to David Ellison has unexpectedly gone viral. Here is the full version for anyone who wants to read and share. If you like it, I would ask you to sign to Democracy Docket at the bottom. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

This AP news article really misses a key point. Trump & his cronies only tried to close the Kennedy Center AFTER all of the artists backed out over his name being added to the building. They never cared about repairing it. He ruins everything. apnews.com/article/trum...

Omg I just heard this woman is called "the zapper" - see how she is awkwardly holding her stomach behind the scooby doo scarf? Apparently there is a button she hits after glancing offstage for the signal, which seems to wake him up. You can see it 2x in this clip. I might change my BS handle now.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

holy shit Trump is OUT

The reflecting pool fail is not her 1st attempt at malicious prosecution. She tried to indict democratic leaders over the "illegal order" video & the guy who threw a sandwhich. She investigated Jerome Powell when Trump got mad. Ironically, she is being fired for finally doing one right thing.

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

Jeanine Pirro has been summoned to the White House, per MS Now.

I have been wondering this very same thing. Turns out the GOP has been trying to make Ceuta part of Morroco and they even named a highway after Trump. So sending in a hige influx of desperate migrants would certainly create instability in Spain.

Maria Drutska@mariadrutska.bsky.social

Wait, traffickers mobilised 60,000 "migrants" to invade Ceuta, a Spanish territory since 1640? Traffickers who charge literal kidneys suddenly decided out of the kindness of their heart to help 60K migrants at the same time for free? That's what we're expected to believe?
