So Trump has decided he can label everything he wants as a national security necessity: his ballroom, his arch, his banning of journalists and a free press. Don't doubt that he will try to undermine or even stop midterm voting as a national security risk. Note: It's all a lie.
Climate Week is here in New York City, and our work has deep roots. 18,261 trees planted this year. The most in a decade.
Being the undisputed worst POTUS in history is pretty cool, but I think we can do better on this approval rating
She's more offended about being called out for bribery than she is about casting the deciding vote that helped gut voting rights and bodily autonomy. Maine will take out this trash in six weeks.

A new bookstore opened in Kyiv. I visited it today. russian drones burn warehouses full of books and damage whatever they can reach. A new bookstore opened in Kyiv. russia will never win.
The entire White House Press corp join forces, even FOX Propaganda News, ban to cover the Convicted FElon at all in the aftermath of the Convicted FElon banning CNN, MS NOW & POLITICO from the White Pedo House. There will be no press today for the meeting with NYC Mayor. youtu.be/obI8YeVnCVY?...

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY
BREAKING: Judge Kelly has ordered the government to RESPOND to the CNN/MSNOW/Politico TRO by TOMORROW, and a hearing is set on the Temporary Restraining Order motion for WEDNESDAY at 3:30 PM.
CNN, MSNOW, & Politico are suing Trump for banning them from the White House. But what value is access to a constant spewing of lies from Convicted Felon Donald Trump? I walk through the legal precedent & why legacy media needs a gut check on how they cover this president. youtu.be/BG1jsa6jcVs?...

It’s not just weird; it’s delusional. HE. IS. PSYCHOTIC. If your grandpa said things like this, you’d take him in for a full neuropsychiatric workup. And it’s time the media starts interviewing psychiatrists and psychologists to talk about it. DO. YOUR. JOBS.
Chuck Todd@journalistct.bsky.social · 4d agoIf this is actually something being considered, seems weird to broadcast to the world where they can find a stash of weapons to target in DC. This is obviously some bizarre effort to wrap this arch idea into national defense
In person, we're usually different - and better - than we are online.
LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"
Our national symbols matter, and they belong to all of us—not just one man. A big thank you to everyone who turned out to protect the Kennedy Center this weekend. Keep going.
US Intelligence has definitively linked commercial Chinese satellite imagery to the Iranian attack on a Jordan airbase that killed 3 US service members. 1/

Even CBS and Fox News… 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 And exactly right. The most painful punishment for a person like Trump is to be ignored. This will hurt him. #RadioFreeAmerica #politics www.forbes.com/sites/rickel...

If you're in Ohio, do not vote for Marcy Kaptur. She needs to lose. It's just anti trans ad after anti trans ad.
This is the way. I know it’s a delicate balance between covering legitimate public interest stories and First Amendment concerns, but it’s about time the press showed some balls.
This is straight-up evil. Yom Kippur is on Monday — the moral contradiction is impossible to ignore. 📌 REUTERS: Israeli settlers set fire to olive groves in the town of Burqa in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to local Palestinian residents. Burned trees that are “thousands of years” old.

one thing that is worth remember apropos this useful piece is that novel technologies do not necessarily require novel political solutions. americans have had to deal with fast-moving, disruptive technological change in the past, and they did so through collective, democratic action.

Wilber Garces Perez, the man shot by ICE in Austin today, despite being grievously wounded has been transferred in to ICE custody.
ICE wants to deport Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a DoorDash driver who they just shot in Austin yesterday. The federal government can't shoot someone and then try to make them disappear to escape scrutiny. Wilber Rafael Garces Perez needs a doctor right now, not a deportation.
More importantly, why the fuck would you TELL the public where you’re storing “sniper ammo”
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 4d agoWhy do we need to build a massive triumphal arch for sniper ammo and drones? We don’t have any place else that those can be stored?
SHOUT-OUT to all proud members of the MAGA-Resistance Movement in their defense of the Kennedy Center. It will NEVER have the Orange Felon's name on it, just as it will continue to be the Gulf of MEXICO, Lake ONTARIO & the Department of DEFENSE. #AccountabilityIn45Days 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.
