Where’s JD Vance? VP takes eighth vacation in seven months...

he's got trumps never in office habit down pretty good. always burning through millions of tax dollars.

#Trump budget director #RussVought has argued that Trump does not need #Congress' approval & can withhold funds for 45 days, which would run out the clock until the #funding expires at the end of the fiscal year on Sept 30. Project #Democracy, a nonpartisan advocacy group, says the tactic has not been used since 1983.

#Democrats say the admin had frozen more than $425 billion in funding, which some #Republicans say is #illegal.

Trump administration faces rare bipartisan pushback for firing CDC director https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/29/trump-susan-monarez-cdc-firing-reaction #Trumpadministration #RobertFKennedyJr #UShealthcare #USpolitics #USnews

I hate the discourse on the mass shooting that happened in MN. A whole lot of talk about the shooter being trans, not a lot of talk about the shooter being a Neo-Nazi whose gun said “6 million was not enough”

The European Commission is developing a plan to provide nearly €200 billion in frozen #Russian assets to #Ukraine for post-war reconstruction.

Sources indicate that supporters of the plan also view it as a potential step toward confiscating assets and transferring them to Ukraine as a measure for Russia's refusal to pay post-war reparations.

LaMonica McIver and the “Lock Her Up” President:
The charges against the New Jersey congresswoman, which scream of a pretext to political prosecution, are unprecedented in modern US history. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/08/lamonica-mciver-trump-lock-her-up-president/ #NewJersey #Trump #Fascism

Word is folks are stocking up on sub sandwiches and filling their freezers.

NBC - You could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, the saying goes, but, in Washington, a federal grand jury just declined to indict a man for throwing a salami sub. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/grand-jury-declines-indict-sandwich-guy-threw-sub-dc-federal-officer-rcna227464

Most of our corporate media will be consigned to the dung heap of history.

But there still are some brave journalists in this country.

Want evidence of why Trump and the GOP are trying to gerrymander their way to a stolen midterm election? It's because their policies are so deeply damaging that Democrat Catelin Drey just won a deep-red district in deep-red Iowa by a 10-point margin in a special election. It's a district Trump carried by 11.5% in 2024.

I'm not a fan of gerrymandering, but if the Republicans continue to try to disengranchise blue voters in red states, more Democratic governors need to follow Newsom's lead.

Gun rights activists, if you really believe in the second amendment….

Why are assault weapons not being used to fight back against occupation of American cities, but only to massacre innocent children?

Tyranny is in force right now, and your beloved guns are still only being used to kill innocents. Shame on all of you.

I would be curious to see how they'd react to being asked if the National Guard will be sent to "do anything" about mass shootings.

Because if one guy getting beat up is a national emergency for the capital then what is this? What is it?

Well, we’re a week or two into the first school year under Trump, and we’ve already had a school shooting.

I carry body armor, with the armor carrier stuffed with tourniquets, decompression needles, and wound packing, in my truck specifically because this shit happens so often.

#Iran link to Australian #synagogue attack uncovered via funding trail

#Australia's intelligence agency traced the funding of hooded criminals who allegedly set fire to a #Melbourne synagogue, linking the #antisemitic attack to Iran, officials said, even as those charged with the crime were likely unaware Tehran was their puppet master.

In the wake of yet another mass shooting, president Trump has mobilized the National Guard to go to the suburbs where these shooters usually come from, authorized the FBI to go after white nationalist extremist groups online, and improved background check requirements.🤡

Of course that's a joke.

In the wake of yet another mass shooting, Trump again sends tots and pears 🥔🍐

and continues mobilizing the full force of the federal government against Black and brown people, in an attempt to make our lives worse.

Of course, that's not a joke.
