The suspect who killed Charlie Kirk said his rifle-cartridge messages were all "a big meme," according to messages just released in court.

"if I see 'notices bulge uwu' on fox new I might have a stroke," he said.

So, yeah, it was all a shitpost. More here on the meanings: bsky.app/profile/drew...

Dem Govs and Health Secretaries need to organize a ferocious campaign of resistance to what Kennedy is doing to their constituents.
Can the health secretaries in the blue states organize themselves as the 23 Dem AGs do and start more aggressively pushing back on what Kennedy is doing? Their citizens are at risk.
At least four major scientists out at the CDC today. Kennedy's assault on our public health just keeps escalating.....

For folks not in higher ed, PhD programs are designed to be finished in five years minimum.
I know there's a lot happening today, but this is sneaking in under the radar. This proposed new rule would absolutely crush foreign PhD students, potentially making it impossible for them to enroll with any certainty of their ability to finish www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

This is absolutely catastrophic for U.S. higher education, and for U.S. global leadership. Just the latest in a series of senseless acts of self-sabotage by a malevolent administration bent on making the United States weak and poor.

From the white supremacist book the official DHS account is referencing: "The point is to reveal organized Jewry as a world power entrenched in every country of the White man’s world, operating freely across every nation’s frontiers, and engaged in a ruthless war for the destruction of them all."
DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

Call your GOP Rep or Senator tomorrow and ask this question.
Would Trump abandon Ukraine for $1.5B, the cost of the Trump Tower deal he lied to cover up in 2016?

How about $10B?

What is the price Trump would take to sell out Ukraine?

At a press conference last month, the Attorney General of the United States publicized the claim that Abrego played a role in the murder of a rival gang member’s mother.

Today, more than a month later, the government’s own witness admitted that they haven’t been able to corroborate that allegation.

Iran state media says sites US hit were evacuated, and they moved nuclear material and enrichment equipment elsewhere.

They’re not trustworthy, so don’t just take their word. But Iran likely did anticipate the possibility of attacks on these sites, and has long kept its nuclear program dispersed.

This is huge. The Trump administration wants to vastly expand the practice of shipping people to random countries they have never been to before, and are now making this part of a threat; either the countries accept taking third country nationals, or they get banned from visas.
