Does Trump understand no one wants his stupid arch? Dressing it up as a military necessity doesn’t help. America is sick of the military being used as an excuse for Trump’s architectural whims and narcissistic fancies. Congress will never support this idiocy, but if you want to know what’s actually unique about Washington, it’s that it’s the only national capital on planet Earth not represented in its own legislature. Why don’t we talk about D.C. statehood instead of this arch-imbecility?

Things they lie about daily:

- the economy
- inflation
- the war with Iran
- our longstanding allies
- the Epstein files
- their bumbled vanity projects
- data centers
- widespread food & water contaminations
- foreign actors & billionaires controlling American policy
- the polls
- his mental stability

In short, literally everything.

It’s a steady stream of lies, gaslighting and projection…from the most deceitful, duplicitous and corrupt administration to ever hold office.

We can no longer afford to tune out or seek safe spaces.

If we do not band together to kick them out, there won’t be any safe spaces left.

My Mom loved Gloria Steinem so I got to meet her and I loved her too. She was a dynamic, exuberant, brilliant and life-affirming feminist and she was a dazzling writer and essayist. Let’s keep fighting for justice, freedom and the ERA she passionately championed. May her memory be a blessing to her family and the millions who loved her.

The majority of the country is against:

- the war with Iran
- reckless & vindictive tariffs on our allies
- pedophiles protected by the DOJ
- drug traffickers buying pardons
- a skyrocketing national debt
- rising inflation
- high gas & food prices
- data centers draining our resources
- unaffordable health care
- billionaires controlling the government
- stock market manipulations
- invading other nations for resources
- criminal ICE brutality
- Trump’s brazen corruption
- Trump’s vanity projects
- a justice system catering to the rich & powerful
- massive transfers of wealth to the Epstein class at the expense of working class Americans
- Trump’s constant attacks on our constitutional rights

In short, the majority of the country is against Trump and the GOP’s corrupt and criminal agenda.

Gas this Labor Day weekend is set to be the most expensive on record.

Brought to you by the guy who promised $2 gas and no wars.

…and the morons who believed him.

[Brett Meiselas @BMeiselas]

Canada. Mexico. The EU. NATO. Ukraine. Iran. Greenland. Allies, adversaries, longtime partners, Democrats, the media… it doesn’t matter.

Everyone Trump deals with is the problem. They’re unfair. They’re taking advantage of America. They’re acting in bad faith. They can’t be trusted.

There’s an old saying: If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you’re the asshole.

None of this means anything to MAGA. They will just keep claiming “fake news” until they literally have nothing left to call their own.

I’m curious how ANYONE can defend a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell. A legit child molester

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

He didn't start any wars.
He didn't alienate our allies.
He created/recovered 16M jobs.
He signed the infrastructure bill.
He signed the CHIPS Act.
He signed the PACT Act.
He didn't build monuments to glorify himself.
He didn't use the presidency to enrich himself.
He didn't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization.

We were BETTER off under Biden.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

It’s about time. 

@SpeakerJohnson just passed the bill that Senate Democrats and Republicans passed unanimously 36 DAYS AGO to pay TSA, FEMA, and CISA employees through the fiscal year. 

Over a month of unnecessary pain for millions of Americans brought to you by the @HouseGOP.

BREAKING: News legends Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson along with 250 journalists sign blistering letter demanding the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “stop the polite nonsense” forcefully call out Trump to his face!

In a powerful open letter, retired star journalists Rather (94) and Donaldson (92), along with more than 250 other members of the press, are urging the White House Correspondents’ Association to stop the usual polite nonsense and use this week’s dinner to directly confront Donald Trump’s unprecedented attacks on the free press.

The letter states that Trump’s “systematic, sustained, and unprecedented” assault on journalism – including retaliatory bans, lawsuits, defunding public broadcasting, arrests of reporters, and constant verbal attacks – makes it impossible for the dinner to continue as “business as usual.”

They are calling on the WHCA to issue a strong, public defense of the First Amendment from the podium, deliver a direct condemnation of Trump’s behavior, and toast the Constitution in front of the man who has spent years trying to destroy press freedom.

This is a remarkable moment: some of the most respected names in American journalism are saying enough is enough. Enough normalizing. Enough smiling and clapping while Trump attacks the free press every single day.

The letter makes clear that freedom of the press is not a partisan issue but a cornerstone of democracy, and must be defended.

If you support real journalists standing up to Trump’s war on the free press, please like and share this post.

Release the unredacted unexpurgated Epstein Files.
Surely there must be one copy out there that the Justice Department hasn't shredded.

President Biden just unveiled his portrait at the University of Syracuse. What an amazing moment! Well deserved!

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Donald Trump taxed families and small businesses with $175 billion in illegal tariffs last year.

Today would be a good day for Trump to pay them back.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .
