Making a thread of some photos and short videos taken of my dog, Kayla. Not just the greatest dog I have ever known but my best friend and through some of the hardest points in my life.

Our rapist pedophile president has unsurprisingly come to the defense of a child abuser

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Tucker Carlson: "If you look at pornography enough or bestiality videos all day, after a while... it's kind of an attractive horse, I get it."

We're may get a post or interview where he throws out the the big slur with a hard R before the midterms at this rate 35% of voters will trip over themselves saying it's not a big deal or even a good thing

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

notable -- Fox News hasn't mentioned Trump's transphobic attack on Annie Andrews a single time. Not once. And they cover a lot of his Truth Social posts. Almost like they're trying to protect their audience from learning the true depth of his depravity.

Evangelicals will claim hurricanes are God's punishment for dudes having sex then just ignore how we get plagues every time this pudding brained old pedophile is president

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: What is the US going to do about the risk of bubonic plague coming from Russia? TRUMP: Well we're looking at it very strongly

"Almost did something, but decided against it" is the perfect description of the entire Biden presidency

Peter Baker@peterbakernyt.bsky.social

The day that Biden grew so angry at Netanyahu that he nearly cut him off: "He was just completely fed up with everything and I think at that moment he was ready to just say, 'I’m done,'" Brett McGurk recalls as he releases "Brink," his memoir of Gaza war. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

It just blows my mind how pathetic the trump toadies are. Grown ass men falling over themselves to praise every word and action of a barely sentient gameshow host. A historically stupid man being treated as the second coming of Christ.

Lutnick: "I have the best job, because I get to sit and watch Donald J Trump make the coolest deals I've ever seen in my life. And I have the best time doing it."

No matter how much you hate Gavin Newsom it's not nearly enough Once again stating I will never vote for this rancid turd

Nick Field@nickfield.bsky.social

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

The president is a sundowning pedophile literally tearing down cultural sites Food is poison Preventable diseases making comebacks We're losing a pointless war Democrats: I do not support trans people and will add credibility to the fascist narrative about girls sports rather than real issues

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Another Iowa Dem releases an ad in response to anti-trans ads against her. "We need to protect kids, and we need common sense rules to keep sports fair for boys and for girls. Parents know what's best for our kids. Washington needs to stay out of it." From Lindsay James, IA-02.

The democrats are absolutely trying to lose the midterms. Not only is all the anti-trans stuff morally wrong but it's also politically stupid. It's just lending credibility to the gop culture war bullshit, depresses the base for zero gain, and pulls focus from real issues that republicans fail on.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

Mitch McConnell is the only vegetable *not* recalled this year

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

lol lmao even

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com

Ed Sheeran’s tour of North and South America was plunged into chaos Tuesday when four of his supporting acts — including his touring band — abruptly quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.

Looking forward to dem leadership coming out to condemn Hassan again even as fetterman makes a guest appearance at the Trump party and pledges undying loyalty to our dementia brained rapist president

The Jeffery Epstein memorial ballroom construction continues unopposed

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social

BREAKING: Supreme Court’s GOP appointees, on a 5-4 vote, allow Trump’s ballroom construction to proceed. Chief Justice John Roberts dissented, for himself and the three Democratic appointees. Today, at Law Dork:

Ben Gvir is one of those guys that would make the world a noticeably better place by tripping and falling into a wood chipper.

Nathan Tankus@nathantankus.bsky.social

Ben Gvir posted this video on twitter today which shows fat and happy Palestinians on a conveyer built going through the Israeli "prison" (torture camp) system and coming out emaciated and maudlin. This is textbook genocidal content.

Taxing billionaires out of existence is not only morally correct but is imperative for any viable future.

WIRED@wired.com

Sources tell WIRED that Elon Musk is expected to spend up to $200 million in the midterms. It could be a big boost for GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton, who’s struggled to raise cash. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

It would be cool if literally any media outlet asked why the democrats should take advice from her after she lost her election to Trump, a hand picked opponent, after working with the media to elevate him. Or why we should care what the people who called Biden a communist think about anything.

This worm brained piece of shit has to see the inside of a cell after this or this shithole country is beyond hope of redemption.

RFK Jr: "I'm announcing that HHS has begun the decertification of Network for Hope, the organ procurement organization."

Guess I can only use bluesky on VPN because I'm sure as hell not giving my personal information to some trash company to post on social media.

It's weird that no matter how much spying and censorship they propose that things are not getting better. I'm sure we just need to give up a little more of our freedom and personal privacy and that'll fix it.

Duncan Weldon@duncanweldon.bsky.social

I remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.

Sure, you're about to pay way more for electricity but now Google search doesn't work and all your software is worse.

CNN@cnn.com

Electricity bills are expected to jump an average of 10.5%, to $792, nationwide for June through September, according to the latest National Energy Assistance Directors Association projection. https://cnn.it/4eiWjAG

The "wellness" industry needs to be regulated into the ground to get all the snakeoil and bullshit off shelves while vaccination should be mandatory unless there is a medically valid reason for exemption. Plague rat RFK should also face trial for crimes against humanity.

Anyone proposing anything short of the complete destruction of the republican party and conservative ideology is not to be trusted.

Stan Oklobdzija@stano.bsky.social

I'm being 100% serious when I say that the thing that might save Los Angeles is a conservative political party that can shed the baggage of the national Republican brand. There needs to be a non anti-bedtime left alternative to the LA County Democratic Party.

This can't be real, we live in a simulation. A simulation being written and controlled by the laziest hacks to ever exist.

And if the democrats, people with actual power, had prosecuted Trump and his allies that tried to pull of a coup this would not have been a problem. But we can't blame them, we gotta blame the voters who did not support genocide.

Wil Wheaton ❌👑@wilwheaton.net

None of this would be happening if Kamala Harris were president. None of it. And we fucking told you so.

We're setting the planet on fire and setting up an unimaginable financial collapse but at least we get a computer that can't do math or spell correctly any more.

Cassidy@cassidoo.co

look how they massacred my boy

It's been over a month since Kayla passed away. I am not getting better and feels like I am getting worse. I've lost other pets, human friends & family members, but nothing has ever hit me like this. I wake up sad, stumble through the day, and go to bed hoping I don't wake up to do again.

There is a lot that you can criticize Trump on, but not wanting to be around Donald Trump Jr. is a completely reasonable position.
