Today I had a meaningful conversation with NYC Mayor Mamdani about the reality local governments are facing. When federal government targets immigrant communities, it’s cities that feel it first — and cities that step up. We’re building a coalition of mayors ready to lead.

This new ad is now airing across all of Texas 👀

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

Our first TV ad just hit the airwaves! Together, we’re going to win this race and fight for working people in the U.S. Senate. Let’s get to work.

There are cameras freakin' everywhere these days, but with the UHC CEO shooting there wasn't a very good shot of the dude's face and they didn't follow him to where he escaped. Was he cognizant of the cameras in his planning?

Across the aisle agreement on Mangione, and on the Epstein files (among non-billionaires). Tax breaks for the rich, wages not rising to match costs (ex: groceries, healthcare and housing), job shortage... there's a common thread we need to use to unravel this autocracy.

Watching Trump's cognition declining I can't help but think of the things the Rs were constantly saying about Biden. With this regime every accusation truly is an admission.

What should we say to the military leaders of this country.... "Some of you are fat" "I'm gonna have you violate the oath you took related to this highest position you've gotten to" yeah. That sounds good.

Trump gathering all the admirals and generals and telling them to use U.S. cities as a training ground for a "war against the radical left"... Wow. Those admirals and generals meeting his speech with complete and utter silence gives me hope, though.

Some good news on the two things that have created a little class solidarity: Adelita Grijalva won the special election in Arizona's 7th district giving the house enough votes to release the Epstein files. The terrorism charge against Luigi Mangione was dismissed.

Antifa = people who identify as against fascism: *anti-fa*scist Transgender "ideology" = "I just want to be allowed to live my life like everybody else" Not a terrorist organization. Not violent-extremism inspiring.

110,000 acres in New Mexico, along with land in Texas, was transferred to the U.S. Army making the land satellites of Army bases. "That gives troops the right to hold and question civilian trespassers without the need for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act."

reuters.comSoldiers, Strykers and 100-degree temps: Inside Trump's border military zoneThe border military zones are one of Trump's most audacious attempts yet to use troops trained for overseas combat in roles normally carried out by Border Patrol or local police.

The Art of the Deal writer: "(Trump's insecurity) makes him incredibly reactive whenever he feels threatened, which is very, very often." "Trump is a man without conscience and without empathy..." "... the limits of his attention span, which are as severe as any person I think I've ever met."

1933 Germany: The Reichstag Fire is blamed on "communist aggitators" leading to the Reichstag Fire Decree suppressing publications "not friendly" to the Nazis, suspending key civil liberties, and imprisonmening "opponents" of the Nazis. 2025 America: Charlie Kirk's assassination...

I figured it would help me get things straight in my head to make a list of all the crazy, messed up stuff that has been done by this regime since they came into power. But there are just too many.

The government thinks social media isn't being Big-Brothery enough, so they're having the CEOs of Reddit, Steam, Discord, and Twitch testify before The HOC re: "radicalization of online forum users."

This regime uses Nazi Germany as a model (Steven Miller's plans, Mein Kampf next to Trump's bed). 1938: German diplomat Ernst vom Rath killed by a Jewish man. Goebbels Anti-Semitic propaganda leads to Kristallnacht. 2025: Charlie Kirk killed. The right wing propaganda machine is going wild.

Fox says Charlie Kirk stood for what our country stands for... sadly he actually did. Now that Project 2025 is the framework that our country is actively being made into, hate and dehumanization are integral parts of what our country is becoming.

And at 3 a.m. this morning, there were 600 unaccompanied minors forced onto an airplane to be trafficked to Guatemala. 'Death' sounds more dramatic, but this shit is just as bad. We are living in a shit hole country. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

politico.comJudge blocks flights sending hundreds of children back to Guatemala“I have the government attempting to remove minor children from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend," the judge said.

I really think it would've been nice if ICE hadn't kidnapped those firefighters actively fighting that 9,000 acre fire. I doubt they're violent thugs who are a risk to the community, especially with the way the other firefighters reacted.

Netanyahu is finally letting food into Gaza. It just so happens that he's doing it now that 2,500 children are suffering severe malnutrition (per the U.N.). Like in the camps after the 2nd WW, eating when a person is this malnourished without receiving nutrients gradually can cause death...
