Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Watching football during election season means having to watch cringe-y ads for campaigns in states I don't live in. Texas Republicans have turned it up to 11 with their ads.

Nebraska fans rn.

The ruling on the field is usually upheld.

The one who pressured Ed Sheeran was Robert Kraft, owner of the NE Patriots and a big donor to AIPAC. He probably thought everyone would roll over and comply.

Donald Trump is the hoax. Nothing he says, professes, or promises can ever be taken seriously. He is a toxic clown, a dangerous joke, and the great American embarrassment. He is the hoax.

The footage of Mitch McConnell being wheeled into the SUV today reminds me of the memory care residents I see at the facility where my mom lives. No head/body movement, hands on hand rests (no wave to communicate "I'm back") are the same body language of a memory care patient. This is elder abuse.

Marc Elias and Democracy Docket are doing the hard work defending democracy in the courts. I've been a member for a while now, and urge you to become one, too, if you can.

Wonder what Jimi Hendrix is thinking.

Desperate autocrats engage in desperate behaviors—and that is exactly what Trump is doing now. His tricks are in line with those of other desperate autocrats, but they are worth calling out and paying attention to. Remember that autocrats fear you and fear the power you express by voting.

🧵 1. Listen to history on labor day. The Gilded Age (1870s to 1900) laid the groundwork for the triggers of The Great Depression in 1929. Wealth inequality. Weak regulations of banking and markets. Trusts and monopolies. Agricultural overextension. Busts in 1873, 1893. Then... #ProudBlue #Blue #GTS

I've officially started taking the senior discount: Bought movie tickets to see "The Odyssey" and got a dollar off each ticket! #ElderGenX

Dr. Fauci is a national hero. Leave him alone. Donald Trump is the moron who told people to drink bleach and got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed.

Term limits and age limits. We desperately need both.

Increased activity, especially in the following cities: 1. Chicago, Illinois 2. Houston, Texas 3. Los Angeles, California 4. Miami, Florida 5. Dallas, Texas 6. Atlanta, Georgia 7. San Antonio, Texas 8. Las Vegas, Nevada 9. St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota 10. Milwaukee, Wisconsin

How does he feel about eternal torment?

Memphis is still “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Task force members have reportedly killed at least two people in four days.

Hydration break #FraMar

Go Morocco!!

ICE is surging in the Seattle area. (Map shows activity in the last week) Do you have your whistle with you?

I don't know, man, I think if Joe Biden had kept confusing Zelenskyy with Putin and Iran with Japan, the media might have made a pretty big deal about it?

The Royals & Mets played a baseball game tonight. What an absurd, beautiful sport.

I truly fucked up not doing my due diligence on Platner before offering high praise for his communication skills. Enough was out there at the time that I should have been more cautious. Especially because I met adventurer dudes like him reporting in Iraq. Deep respect to all who got it right. 1/2

What kind of fascist hellscape is happing on Pennsylvania Ave at the Eastern Market Metro stop? These guys—seemingly all white, all men—have their faces covered, are carrying shields, wearing brown …

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

Yep, this one hits today.

Been reading On Courage. It should be required reading for Dems: “This basic arithmetic problem means sometimes living with contradictions, even embracing them.” Politics isn’t about finding people who agree w/you on everything. It’s finding enough people to push the jeep out of the mud together.

It's official. I'm a football fan now. Go Morocco!

Trump got outsmarted by algae. Again. He looked at a century-old work of civic art & thought what if I treated this like my golf club pool? No bid contracts. A Virginia company that worked on a Trump property. An Ohio firm tied to a longtime donor with almost no federal track record. $1.7M.

Way to go, Morocco!

Come on, Algeria.

Well done, Knicks! Love to NYC!

I’m so proud to serve on the board of LeavingMAGA.org and to see this work gaining the recognition it deserves. Congratulations, Rich, on everything you’ve built and achieved.

So many people focused on Bari Weiss asking to make protesters look more violent and glossing over Pelley admitting they’d already dug deep for the most violent protester footage they could find. His interview is more of an indictment of corporate media than many want to admit.

Keep an eye on Chicago folks. ICE has ramped up big time and it's getting ugly again.

In February, Trump purchased over $1 million in Dell stock. Just weeks ago, Trump told everyone to “go out and buy a Dell.” Its stock price is up over 60% since then. Now, Dell has been awarded a $9.7 BILLION Pentagon contract. See the problem here?

REMINDER: The full effects of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill don’t hit until after the 2026 midterms. That’s by design. Republicans want the votes first and the consequences caused by your pain, AFTER the election.

Musical act sings "You're bound to lose, all you fascists bound to lose!" At Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ as protests continue into the 6th night.

In Magnifica Humanitas, the pope says just war theory is "outdated," condemns lethal AI weapons and asks pardon for the church's delayed condemnation of slavery.

"Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together." #PopeLeoXIV #MagnificaHumanitas

Among many other criminal offenses committed by ICE on behalf of the administration, deporting people to third countries to face unknown danger is especially heinous and inhumane.

“This whole thing boils down to this charade they’re performing that this is only about partisanship and not about race.” @brotherjones.bsky.social tells Kanew & @realdlhughley.bsky.social when he walked into the Capitol it was 2026 and when he walked out it was pre-1965. #Memphis #JimCrow

We’ve been able to confirm 8 of the 10 turnkey facilities ICE wants to buy. Just over half are owned by GEO Group. We have leads on the remaining two, and have reached out to GEO Group and CoreCivic for any comment they can provide.

Lashing out irrationally sounds very....alcoholic.
