Pleased to speak with @nickturse.bsky.social about the Trump admin's yearlong killing spree. "There is no plausible legal justification for the strikes. They’re obviously not occurring in the context of an armed conflict and outside of armed conflict, the term for premeditated killing is murder."

“Whistleblower claims USPS plan for Trump's mail voting order could 'derail' midterms” I mean, yeah. This administration will not be bound by laws or court orders…. You don’t have to conceive of “how” to know there’s a plan in place.
BREAKING: Trump's DHS took a step back from seizing Fentanyl so that ICE could terrorize our streets. In just one year at HSI: - Fentanyl investigations down 24% - Fentanyl seizures down 39% - Hours spent countering fentanyl down approx. 30%
I just love how Mr. religious lies all the time. Such a hypocrite and I’m pretty sure he will be going to heaven.

It's so weird how "As Speaker of the House, I have no idea what's going on... Like, in general," is an effective way to deflect scandal rather than being a massive scandal in itself.

Thomas Massie and I just introduced a discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II. The DOJ has failed to release millions of files. I’m calling on everyone in Congress to sign this petition and stand up for the survivors.

This says so much. Ask not what you can do to make your life richer and more enjoyable, ask what you can do to produce more for the GDP over your lifetime.

But we need to do it with insufficient wages, shockingly expensive healthcare, and very costly food. We are just widgets them. Annoying, whiny cogs in their billionaire assembly lines.

Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO. My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say. The new CDC Director is failing us.
The CDC left two measles-associated Pa. deaths out of its latest count after RFK Jr. sparred with Gov. Shapiro
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania of not cooperating with the CDC in its handling of a measles outbreak.

"Everyone who cares about children's privacy and safety should be appalled by this sweetheart deal." Critics say the DOJ's $400 million TikTok settlement did something worse than let the company off easy — it erased an existing federal monitoring requirement. bit.ly/3Uh9oUZ

Oak Lawn Police Arrest Black Teacher For Protesting Brutality - PopularResistance.Org
On Tuesday, August 25th, the racist Oak Lawn Police Department (OLPD) arrested Kobi Guillory, a Black teacher and leader in the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (CAARPR), after he left the Oak Lawn Village Board of Trustees meeting. For over four years, the community has been protesting both the racist patterns and practices of OLPD and the village that refuses to hold criminal cops accountable. The protest was organized by the AAAN, U.S. Palestinian Community Network, CAARPR, Southsiders for Peace, and others. Almost 20 people testified in public comment to the Oak Lawn mayor and trustees, demanding that the mayor clean up his racist police department and village.

I offered my unified field theory of Trumpism on @TheWeekendMSNOW.bsky.social—how Trump's narcissism once helped the GOP by giving permission for people to be their worst selves, and now is destroying the GOP because he gives a shit only about himself. youtu.be/gfRgyp6h4k4?...

Well, this is fun. 😂 Ottawa, Canada, is considering renaming Trump Avenue, and two of the top contenders are “Obama Avenue” and “Taco Avenue.” 🇨🇦
Measles-linked deaths since RFK Jr became HHS Secretary now surpass those recorded in the previous 20 years combined.
“Trump’s life … illustrates the typical trajectory of a malignant narcissist. Instrumental lying for personal benefit … ultimately gives way to massive self-deception. … ‘Pathological narcissists … can become dangerously psychotic.’ “And that’s where he is, and we are, today.”
