Pretty sure this wasn't a lie (as in she's was trying to convince people it's true), it was a directive that media should report this way. It's more in line with Hegseth's controlling the media rather than Trump spewing bullshit. She's just an awful messenger. Keep an eye out for more media control.

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained.” Except for the ones that were.

Here's the thing... everyone knew he was lying then. Everyone knows they're lying now when they say Democrats want to pay for illegal immigrants to have Healthcare. This is an actual distraction from talking about how they'd rather keep the government shutdown than restore Healthcare funding.

Trump in 2024: I have nothing to do with Project 2025! Trump in 2025: "I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame!”

It needs to be noted that he speaks this way to get a reaction. No one wants political violence in the US more than this guy. He is an accelerationist and he is trying to light a match. He wants the pretext to fully implement a repressive agenda. Though it seems he'll try to get there either way.

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

So this is just going to be used as pretense for sending the National Guard to Providence, right? Seems like they're trying to create the conditions for violence in order to rally support for even more draconian measures or even try to cancel elections.

WPRI 12@wpri12.bsky.social

In a letter dated Aug. 13, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi formally notified Gov. McKee of RI’s designation as a “sanctuary jurisdiction” and demanded that the state eliminate policies that “thwart federal immigration enforcement.” He has until Tuesday to respond, @timwhiteri.bsky.social reports.

The small positives are 1. It does NOT include Brown University Health and 2. Most of the non-sports stuff only requires accommodation. So trans people won't be forced to go to the bathroom or dorm with the wrong gender. It's still terrible and unnecessarily dehumanizing.

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social

Just read the Brown University agreement and this really jumped out. "The University will not perform gender reassignment surgery or prescribe puberty blockers or hormones to any minor child for the purpose of aligning the child's appearance with an identity that differs from his or her sex."

It's like they hate people who aren't rich. Even the smallest improvements that can help keep middle class people from falling into poverty or risking their financial health are overturned.

It's crazy that he still brags about passing a dementia test from five years ago.

Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."

You are up to date.
