Iran has just declared that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the orange felon is removed from power. Looks like Iran has held all the cards from the very beginning of this illegal disastrous war. The orange felon and drunkard rapist fox host should be in jail.

NEW FROM ME: On a hellish third-country removal flight last month, passengers say ICE-contracted guards got drunk, teased and beat them, tied them up, refused to let them use the lavatory. One says he witnessed an ICE agent admit to illegal chain refoulement. prospect.org/2026/08/31/w...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled. He’s going to kill people for oil.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble. A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments. We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Doing a breakdown of all the ICE detention facilities in the U.S. and it turns out they're almost all privately-owned, and all by the same three companies. Someone is making a shit-ton off of separating families. Stay tuned for a full report.

This is another friendly reminder that we had a multinational nuclear agreement with Iran that took years of careful diplomacy to forge during the Obama admin. DJT discarded it at the start of his first term, & has been scrambling ever since to try to forge the exact same agreement, with no success.

This is a friendly reminder that there is no "insurrection" in LA. There is no "chaos and discord." This is a lie invented by the president, and repeated by 24-hour TV news media, ad nauseam, to justify sending the US military to occupy American cities. Fascism 101.

No, actually, we shouldn't just let the government violently attack people on the streets and disappear them into foreign gulags. We should try to stop them.
Matt Yglesias' response to polling showing that Trump is net-positive on "immigration." Yglesias and others like him have been arguing that Democrats shouldn't do more to push back on Trump's violent attacks on undocumented immigrants.

Everyone should think about which topics they want to raise the salience of and why.

Musk, who doesn't have to ever face voters, will do what he can to undermine Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Will be interesting if that leads to conflicts with Republicans who worry about the electoral perils of screwing Americans whose lives depend on these programs.
