Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.

Harry Litman@harrylitman.bsky.social · 2d agoIn other words, going from a constitutional right (Roe) to a constitutional state by state decision (Dobbs) to a constitutional rule of no abortions. What is the DOJ/legal underpinning for that? There isn't one. Ladies & Gentlemen, your lawless soon-to-be AG. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
Helllloooo, FEMA! Where the hell are you?
Gov. Bob Ferguson@governorferguson.bsky.social · 2d agoI just met with members of Colville Tribal leadership in Nespelem, which is one of many communities heavily impacted by fires. We’re hoping to get a positive response soon from FEMA on an emergency declaration we requested to help these communities get the resources they need.

Don’t believe anyone else in the entire world but me. Dont believe your own eyes and ears. Everyone else is lying but me. I’m the hottest president ever. Everything is great again! Thank you for your dumbass attention to this matter.
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 2d agoThe gaslighting is off the charts with this one. Every word is a lie. His actual approval rating is the second worst in modern presidential history, behind only Nixon’s 24% just before he resigned.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Daily reminder that we don’t have a president. We have a mob boss masquerading as one.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
RFK Jr.: “You probably don’t understand this as you’re not a scientist.” Dana Bash: “You’re not a scientist either.”
When enough rain falls in Maltahöhe, Namibia, millions of desert lilies bloom across the landscape for just a few days each year. This natural phenomenon briefly transforms the arid desert into a sea of flowers almost overnight. IG: @ earthpix
Wish it was still as cool as it was in the beginning… you know, when they actually showed music videos.

“Politicians choose their voters — through gerrymandering — instead of people choosing their leaders.”
Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 4d agoGerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.
Jeanne Gibson, one of the last surviving Rosie the Riveters, died on July 29, 2026. She was 100 Years old. Born in Minneapolis in 1926, she was only 18 when she moved to Seattle to weld U.S. Navy destroyers at Todd Pacific Shipyards. Rest in peace, Jeanne

“I think Minnesota is behind it. I don’t think there was an Iranian cyberattack.” More lies, chaos, destruction, and suffering, brought to you by donald j trump, fuck-up extraordinaire. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

That Other Dude@theotherdude.bsky.social · 7d agoFuck this stupid asshole.
It’ll be gone by Easter. Nothing to worry about. Maybe horse meds or shooting up some bleach will help. Masks are for snowflakes. Vaccines will kill you… blah blah. He screwed up as usual and is haunted by it so he needs a scapegoat and revenge to soothe his petulant, egotistical, demented mind.

Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 6d agoThe Fauci hearing was a disgrace. Here are some reminders of how it really went down in 2020. Never forget.
True embarrassment. But also gaslighting, scapegoating trump bullshit.
Mike@mike-umbkm.bsky.social · 4d ago"You don't charge first and then figure it out. You get the information first and then charge. ...So it's a true embarrassment for Jeanine Pirro. It's a true embarrassment for DOJ. And they brought it on themselves."
Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.
Rhetorical question: Is the current administration really that fcuking stupid?
