Charlie Cook, who's handicapped elections for decades, tells me he's never seen anything like the fiasco Trump foisted on GOP. "Rs are so underperforming," he says, that "the normal rules don’t seem to be applying." On the pod he explains why GOP may lose Sen/House: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

An open letter in support of the volunteers and staff at the RNLI

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know th...

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

President Trump says that he wrestled the second gunman to the ground before he could shoot Jacqueline Kennedy.

Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

While first responders and families were scrambling on 9/11, Donald Trump was on TV bragging that his building was the tallest in Manhattan. "They built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second tallest, and now it's the tallest."

I lose my mind after watching 30 sec clips of Trump’s thigh-tapping and tall tales, but @atrupar.com is in the trenches watching every unedited minute of this glitching circus. Pure martyrdom. Support his suffering by subscribing to PN or buy him coffee: ☕ buymeacoffee.com/atrupar

🚨 THIS IS BAD! 🚨 Palantir’s stated goal is to disrupt democracy by getting control of the systems in the name of technofascism. Their MO is wedging people into positions of power then shoehorning themselves into critical infrastructure. Now they control the grid. www.ft.com/content/f6a2...

Britain’s grid operator gave Palantir contract without inviting rival bids

Neso cited a legal exemption that removes the requirement to consider other suppliers if dependencies leave no alternative

Trump is turning military funerals at Arlington into a tourist attraction.

I'd like to thank this lady. Reform would be nowhere at all without people as unutterably stupid as her.

A detail missing from The Times story… the woman who took the photo shared it to a Facebook group called ‘South east patriots’.

Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · 22h ago

The Times has run a story this morning about how ‘polite’ the masked men in Dover were to three white ladies on a train. Propaganda in its clumsiest form.

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband is expected to announce new sanctions on Israel tomorrow, the BBC reports. Typically understated response from Israel:

The BBC website hasn’t found space to report on Jenrick’s defence of assaults on a woman protestor by Reform members, but it has devoted an entire page to this puff for Reform’s attempts to appeal to women

Reform UK hopes new group will attract more women to party

The party launches Women for Reform at its party conference this weekend, after criticism about its policies.

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?

Rest in piece Pierre Damas Bel, another victim of Trump and ICE's sadistic cruelty.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 93% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 34% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Both Trump and Russia supported the victory of the neo-Nazi AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, so we know where everyone stands.
