Given WaPo's blockbuster news that 4 top uniformed officers warned Pete Hegseth he can't safely stay in Iran, I went back to see how he was responding. It was mostly trolling and culture war, but he did take time to campaign for President! emptywheel.net/2026/08/31/t...

In response to being warned that the military is dangerously overstretched, Whiskey Pete Hegseth has offered little but trolling and culture wars.

Dolly Parton memorial in Chicago: "Sacred memories often take me to the place where I grew up And that little country church that I loved so much I used to go there everytime that old church bell would ring And I remember how I loved the songs we used to sing."

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

Gasoline prices are up about 25% from a year ago. Airline fares are up nearly 26%. But no worries. Trump's economy won't hurt you as much if you never leave your home.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

Some super-rich people would be slightly less rich if we had Medicare for All, and that’s why they’re preventing us from having it.

"Today, Davey Hearn pled not guilty — because he is not guilty," Norm Eisen, one of his attorneys, said outside DC Superior Court. "If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk — and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution."

Trump is twisting government policies to do favors for people who bribe him. The Republican Party is helping him stuff his pockets. Vote against all Republicans.
