Why wouldn’t he admit it? The Supreme Court immunized this kind of stuff. It’s why Jack Smith had to take the Jeffrey Clark/DOJ/Trump conspiracy out of his Jan 6 indictment.

We need more of this. Unedited Donald Trump. Unequipped to do the job of president. And that’s putting it mildly.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Even worse, ‘Dilley 2’ in Alexandria, Louisiana, aims to deport migrant kids as quickly as possible, some to third countries, putting them at risk of falling into “horrific cycles of trafficking,” Sen. Ron Wyden warned. www.thequeenzone.com/exclusive-to...

Just when we need Tag-team Jornalism…

I can’t stand Rachel Martin’s laugh. There, I’ve said it.

My latest: The question is not whether we should slow down AI development. It’s whether we still can www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

A man convicted in a $1.6b fraud involving more than 10,000 investors barely entered prison before Trump freed him. Prosecutors then reportedly asked whether money or access helped make it happen, before that inquiry was reportedly shut down. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/more-than-...

What a life! What a useful life! Thank you, Gloria Steinem, for your life making my life possible.

UPDATE. TINA PETERS WILL NOT BE TAKING THE JOB! BIG WIN FOR DEMOCRACY IN CALIFORNIA!

If Trump is behind the Resolute Desk, there’s a good chance he is asleep (as seen here, again, today)

Right on cue, the Texas GOP moves to make it as difficult as possible to vote, especially in precincts across the state where the majority of voters are Democrats. If approved, the third-most populous county in Texas will scrap 92 polling stations just weeks ahead of the midterm election.

This is no coincidence. This is a multi-part plan by the GOP to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

WHAT IF the only people left gatekeeping the senile old man with his finger on the nuclear trigger were the guy who was ousted from the White House in the first term bc he was too close to Russia and the guy who may have conspired w/them in 2016-2017? www.semafor.com/article/08/3...

Trump’s policies are killing pregnant women & infants across the US and abroad. Abortion bans are depriving critical medical care, while aid cuts have shuttered clinics, stripped millions of care, and unleashed a wave of maternal and infant deaths. #OpDeathEaters www.yacnews.com/trump-polici...

Recall that the CDC lab that tracked outbreaks like cyclospora was hollowed out to a point of being non-functional. More than 17,000 people have been sickened with cyclospora. This is deliberate, part of Project 2025. 🧪 www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

WOW! JD VANCE: “We’re about to celebrate the 25th year” of 9/11. Sir, the word is COMMEMORATE. Nobody’s celebrating 9/11.

Failing us, yes - and pleasing the president. Just as with the military, just as with equality for all Americans. You can either genuinely serve the public or jerk off the president. You can't do both.

Years ago, I predicted the only jobs left would be taste testers and massage therapists to the rich. I think “taste tater” when I read this: “This tofu recall comes amid a wave of high-profile recalls, including beef, contact lens solution, IV saline injections, and more.”

Trump is now threatening to report NBC’s Kristen Welker to the FCC for “rebuke or punishment” because she said his endorsements have had “mixed results.” He then calls on FCC Chair Brendan Carr to “take this Threat to our Country very seriously.” Truly psychotic and anti-American.

Trump ended the Beneficial Ownership Registry: the tool law enforcement used to track money laundering through shell companies. Now Treasury's deleting every record. Wild coincidence that half his empire runs on the exact LLCs this was built to expose. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS

Is all laughter good? I must have misophonia for performative laughter. Grrr.

Bird flu is sweeping across Australia, devastating its unique birds and mammals, many of which are found nowhere else in the world.

Just want to say that these lunatics accused me of being a *secret CIA agent* while DataRepublican is literally working for the govt while pretending to be an ordinary influencers, & receiving leaked docs. The Trump admin is running ops, as they say, but for real. Every accusation is a confession.

So it's August in San Francisco and I need to switch from my winter summer clothes to my summer winter clothes

North Korea is good. Canada is bad. Coal is good. Solar is bad. Measles is good. Vaccination is bad. Child rapists are good. Childcare is bad. Pointless wars are good. Universal healthcare is bad. Anyone supporting the unrelenting chaos of the #GOP deserves zero respect. #RemoveTrump

When America is gone, remember NYT headlines like this and never again ask what role corporate media played in normalizing the most dangerous man on Earth

the president is not sane

BREAKING: In unusual 9PM Friday Federal Register filing, Postal Service finalizes regulation to deny delivery of mail-in ballots not matching addresses in database BUT says won't implement 'til court orders are lifted. #SCOTUS still quiet. Doc: public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-17238.pdf

I love the way the @nytimes gives scammer Navarro a platform to print lies about scams and the comments call them out on it. It Was a Great Scam While It Lasted www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/o...

I'd love to read the inquiries the WH press office gets for this one.

The doctor who claimed that vaccines cause autism lost his medical license for faking for the study. But his lies and the damage he did to public health persist long after his paper was pulled. This is why science communication is so difficult; all it takes is one grifter.

Hey remember when the media and gop freaked out when bill clinton spoke to the attorney general for five seconds?

A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

The President of the United States is going to kill people

Again, it is an *exceptionally* strange situation where the president of the US gets to literally invent preposterous things out of thin air every day and no one can do anything about it

The moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.

Mitch McConnell is rolling over in his grave right now.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

It's strange. No photos of Mitch McConnell leaving the rehab center. None of him arriving at the departure airport. None of him at the arrival airport. None of him arriving at his Kentucky home. None whatsoever. Just a statement and reporters giving a quick salute.
