Mayor Johnson had *harsh* [factual] words for #Trump during his news conference, accusing him of “behaving outside the bounds of the #Constitution” & seeking a #federal presence in #blue #cities as #retribution against his political rivals.

“He is reckless & out of control,” Johnson said. “He’s the biggest threat to our #democracy that we’ve experienced in the history of our country.”

Meanwhile, in the USA many cities want to remove hard won #bicycle infrastructure in order to add an additional lane for cars :blobcatsadreach:

It is also worth noting that there were approximately 2.7 million automotive-related fatalities in the U.S. over the past 60 years

The president of the United States is posting messianic apocalyptic threats to the propaganda platform he owns and there's not a word about it at NYT, @washingtonpost, @CNN, @npr, or @CBSNews.

Only real coverage I've seen is by @thedailybeast.

On Saturday, #Trump commented about #Chicago crime & #Illinois Gov. #JBPritzker on his Truth Social site: “Six people were killed, & 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, & JB Pritzker, the weak & pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing CRIME. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT”

If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas.…

@QasimRashid Harris never would have done this. We could have prevented USA fascism AND made things better for people in Gaza.

There Is a Need for a Ceasefire, Which Would Clearly Signal the russian Readiness for Diplomacy – Address by President #Zelenskyy 30.08.2025

Extract
putin is only duping leaders and drawing them into his camp. And he is staving off the threat of sanctions by doing so. Nothing else interests him. It is important that together we press russia into ending this war.

Congress—and only Congress—passes budgets. Because the president's job is to take care the laws are faithfully executed, he must spend the money as directed. Trump's "pocket recissions” are lawless and absurd. If a president opposes legislative spending decisions, he can veto them, subject to override, but once passed, he must execute on them.

i'm sure it's just a coincidence that the bitcoin wallet that #OFAC just sanctioned because it was being used by Russian and North Korean weapons programs just so happened to be sending all its bitcoins to crypto exchanges belonging to Trump's Chinese business partners: Justin Sun's #HTX and Changpeng Zhao's #Binance.
