Remember when Trump reportedly told his nephew, "Those people, the shape they're in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die." This depravity is now basic GOP ideology, being translated into policy now. Contact your GOP legislators and remind them how human decency works.

The only Republicans who have expressed disagreement with Witkoff's assessment of Putin are lame ducks. Every voter should know that if they vote for a Republican, no matter what they say in their campaign, what they are getting is support this sort of un-American verbal atrocity. THIS IS THE GOP.

Trump has offered to help Russia with the apparent plague outbreak. Millions of Americans are breathlessly waiting for word that he is sending RFK Jr to Russia to help.

SENATOR SLOTKIN: If you hear in the next 34 days that there is a new security threat that youโ€™ve never heard of, that somehow requires federal law enforcement or the military and not local police, an alarm bell should go off in your brain. Do not let him get away with that

I have a trade deficit with woman who used to own my house. I paid her thousands of dollars for her home and she paid me nothing. Now, all I have is a house worth thousand of dollars. I could have saved those thousands of dollars if I lived on a bench in the park. It's just simple Economics.

Note to all: this sort of polling only represents change if we vote in overwhelming numbers. While you're at it, remember how Republicans, ALL of them, vote in support of Trump's policies, no matter if they sounded sane while campaigning. Learn this lesson and never again vote for a Republican.

Trump lowest net approval rating among adults aged 30 to 44 fell to negative 43 points in the survey conducted from August 28 to 31, deepening a long-running generational divide before the 2026 midterm elections.

54 years ago today, in Laguna Beach there was a rainbow and a pair of teenage hippies had a wedding on a bluff overlooking a beach. That rainbow passed quickly and the bluff has since fallen into the ocean, but our marriage is still going strong. We choose what to believe -- I believe in love.

Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent, and Stephen Miler have no military experience, but now they have something to put on their resumes. They can describe themselves as "cannon fodder" in Trump's War of Vanity Against Iran -- no valor there, stolen or otherwise.

Little Marco has been kissing tRumpโ€™s ass for almost 2 years, and whatโ€™s his reward? He gets put on the decoy plane with Stephen Miller and Mark Bessent to draw enemy missile fire. #ProudBlue #MarcoRubio #DecoyPlane #FAFO

MAGA: Come for the racism. Stay for the explosive diarrhea!

A growing outbreak of the Cyclospora parasite, which causes severe diarrhea, has sickened more than 1,200 people across the U.S. Experts say the true number is much higher. In March 2025, RFK Jr. dissolved the CDCโ€™s Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria, which monitored parasitic diseases

Trump is in a hurry to blame vandals, but there is an equal likelihood that the mess is due to the visigoths.

WATCH LIVE: After undergoing a $14 million renovation, the Reflecting Pool is now algae-filled with chunks of paint coming apart. President Trump said the pool will โ€œprobablyโ€ be drained again for repairs and, without evidence, blamed vandals for this mess.

The Trump administration apparently chose the trip to China to plead no contest to the charge that the US has become an oligarchy. The press also uniformly declined to mention this point. Someone could have asked a softball question such as, "Doesnโ€™t this demonstrate that the U.S. is an oligarchy?"

Many boomers get their news from ABC, CBS, and NBC. As a result, many boomers have little idea that Trump is nodding off at meetings on more days than not. This is important news that the public is being shielded from by majjor media. Lord knows they'd have treated Biden rather differently.

๐ŸŠ Trump nodding off at a maternal health event is almost too on-the-nose: the โ€œpro-familyโ€ president canโ€™t even stay present for the women heโ€™s using as props. ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿคฐ #SleepyDon #TrumpIsUnfit #MaternalHealth #ProLifeMyAss

You wouldnโ€™t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldnโ€™t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldnโ€™t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldnโ€™t work for someone who lied to u like this. Youโ€™d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

I'm more than ready for Jon Lovitz's compulsive liar character Tommy Flanagan to perform as Trump on SNL. Yeah, I was a ... a .. a Red Cross worker, that's the ticket.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

Threatening to destroy Iranian civilization then acting like America still holds the moral high ground is the geopolitical equivalent of burning someone's house down and calling it diplomacy. A ceasefire secured through cultural threats isn't strength. It's a warning about who we're becoming.

Americans should learn from this that a vote for any Republican is a vote for someone who supports taking the world to the brink of devastation in a war of vanity. NEVER vote for a Republican -- we cannot have cowards in positions of authority.

Mary L Trump@maryltrump.bsky.social

The silence of Republicans as their president threatens to commit genocide is deafening. They're all complicit.

The GOP decided that this war of Trumpโ€™s is just an incursion and not something that Congress needs to weigh in on. Trump knows that they gave him a green light for destroying a civilization. Hey GOP, is destroying a civilization simply Trumpโ€™s prerogative?

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

My stomach churns at the thought of watching the evening news shows give a balanced report on Trump's threat to destroy a civilization. I hope that the folks putting together those reports pause to consider their roles in reaching this juncture.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

โ€œItโ€™s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, โ€˜OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?โ€™ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.โ€

Every member of Congress must do everything in their power to stop Trump, whatever it takes. It is utterly immoral to fail to do so. If you assume that Trump is bluffing, then you are gambling with the lives of hundreds of thousands, which is a morally reprehensible act.

Charles Booker@booker4ky.bsky.social

This is an actual statement from the President of the United States. This cannot be hand waved away as a joke. The man is threatening war crimes on top of war crimes! ENOUGH! I donโ€™t say this lightly: The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. The President needs to be removed!

Scott Farrand โŒ๐Ÿ‘‘ reposted

If youโ€™re a Republican member of Congress sitting in your hands as the President repeatedly threatens to commit war crimes, youโ€™re responsible for the outcome. Itโ€™s on you.

Scott Farrand โŒ๐Ÿ‘‘ reposted

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesnโ€™t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Trump is right, we can either pay for โ€œdaycare, Medicaid, Medicare all these things," or we can pay for more war. Every dollar we spend on this illegal war of choice, is a dollar that could have helped improve life right here at home. He's telling us what he cares about more.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "The US can't take of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We're fighting wars. Medicaid, Medicare -- they can do it on a state basis. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. But all these little scams that have taken place, you have to let states take care of them."

There are 6 protests within a half hour of my house. The huge one will be in front of the CA Capitol. I will go with my family to a protest that will be spread out along a major street, so that the folks in Sacramento can see what a lot of lovers of democracy we have. NO KINGS!!!!
