Nearly three months ago, Donald Trump sent the National Guard into California — without consulting the governor and despite local law enforcement having things under control. Now, justice has been served: a federal court ruled the president is not above the law.
What we’re witnessing in this country is textbook authoritarianism. Trump thrives on targeting those who are least able to defend themselves, exerting control and cruelty to tighten his grip on power. To think it ends here is naive. We cannot let this go on any further.
The press conference with the Epstein victims begins at 10:30 am. The attempt to drown out the press conference using the military as both a distraction and a message begins at 11:00 am.
Thank you @governor.ca.gov for saving us from that decaying lunatic!!
Bless his little soul; such a brave boy. I hope this latest school shooting will break the NRA hold over the GOP, but, sadly, I won’t hold my breath. We need to do better for all children. We need to protect them and we are failing.

Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
Nice job Governor Newsom and AG Bonta!! 👏👏👏👏
Newsom v. Trump: a federal court granted our injunction, blocking Trump’s illegal use of the military for domestic law enforcement. The ruling is clear: Trump is breaking the law by trying to create a national police force with himself as its chief.
Newsom responds to Trump’s odd post announcing he is going to bed early
President Small Hands 😂 Keep ‘em coming Governor Newsom ✅
Lovin’ this fiery governor 👏
TRUMP IS AMERICA’S BIGGEST LOSER.
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
🚨BREAKING: Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
In more ways than one‼️
Excellent question.
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.

Iowa tonight is exactly why Republicans are redrawing their maps.
Woot-Woot 🙌
“Transparent”
A glimpse into Trump's make-believe world of "giant water valves" in Northern California…
Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles seems to have been just the start of an authoritarian takeover of American cities. This is not leadership. This is a scary, unlawful grab for power, and we should all be deeply concerned.
Stand by for news from Texas...
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Let’s be clear about what’s really going on over at Target. They’re playing us. The current CEO, will “step down,” but he’s moving up to exec chair of the Board of Directors. That’s rewarding his failure. The new CEO, is the current COO & has been w/Target for 20 years. Nothing’s really changing.
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
Great job, Mr. 2028 🙌
Otherwise known as communism.
You can’t write this sh*t!!

Hannity: He and his social media team are busy trying to mock President Trump by posting messages in all caps. He is also attacking Fox News hosts. He's trying to bait conservatives into social media fights. He's referred to Tomi Lahren’s account as “yelp for toilets”
Garcia: This is being right now streamed live by MeidasTouch to their 5 million subscribers… If you guys don't know MeidasTouch—thanks for all that they do. And I'm really grateful to them for continuing to particularly cover things that sometimes the mainstream media may not cover
Garcia: Congress has to know and understand that Donald Trump is, I believe, the most corrupt person ever to serve as President of the United States
Trump’s tweets now just seem like boring less funny versions of Newsom’s imitations The cover band is better than the original band
Whitewashing history.
This has to be illegal. They are detaining her.
I’m filing a formal request for information about the Trump Administration’s action and role in directing federal law enforcement and military personnel in a recent operation intended to intimidate those defending a fair electoral process.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."
Newsom 🔥🚒
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
Jack White responds to Newsom’s IG post that used “Seven Nation Army”: "Fans of this song and also democracy, notice that I'm ok with this track being used in this manner. Not so much when trump and his gestapo try to use one of my songs. Keep hitting him back Gavin!"
What a nothing-burger of a news briefing. Such a joke!!
Trump 2028 isn’t a joke. Donald Trump doesn’t believe the rules apply to him, and he’ll do anything in his power to hijack a 3rd term. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if Trump rigs this election.
Let That Sink In! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾
Good for Governor Newsom! Fight fire with fire 🔥 and never back down!!

Mark Kelly: "I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. This is not a show of strength to allow him to fly into the United States to land here to negotiate with our president."
The fact that Trans service members who are forced to leave the military are being denied early retirement pension if they are 15-19 years in, is angering and should anger all Americans. Meanwhile the draft dodging fat-assed douche canoe clown balls of a President dodged the draft.
Ukraine's Zelensky ruled out giving land to Russia, hours after Trump said he would meet with Putin in Alaska.

The far right have dominated social media for too long. It's time to take the fight to the fascist disinformation gangs. We can build an international network of resistance. I am speaking with @meidastouch.bsky.social about launching #meidascanda. Stay tuned. TEAM CANADA is about to hit the ice.
Ghislaine Maxwell makes deal. Pedo status changed. What was the deal?!
Party of criminals
Birds of a feather, flock together.
Today would be a good day to release the Epstein Files. Unredacted. In their entirety.

The Trump admin is making a deal with one of the worst convicted child sex traffickers in history to protect Trump.
Trump sent officials to see Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas
Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion Powell: I’m not aware of that. Trump: It just came out Powell: You just added in a third building Trump: It’s a building that’s being built Powell: It was built five years ago.
He has lost so much respect from the world. A once prominent person that was respected. This respect is now gone. He is a lonely, bitter, emotionally deficient person. Keep fighting, Marc. We appreciate all that you do to fight for democracy.

Honest to God I would have never thought I would live to see the words “hitting on” not in quotes in the New York Times www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/u...
So how do we protect it? We need an outlet that’s independent and able to tell the truth.
We need more blue states to do this!! @governor.ca.gov
Wow great work.
I bet they were...👇
just looping back on this october 2024 warning and yep we have ticked through them all
No doubt Donald Trump would love to change the subject away from the Jeffrey Epstein files, but unfortunately for him, it's bad news all around.
This is a meaningless trick. A court cannot violate rule 6(e), which prohibits public disclosure.
In terms of the timeline of events, the WSJ's reported birthday card would have come one year after Trump's creepy "on the younger side" quote.
"It is a hoax started by Democrats"
Meiselas: Mar-A-Lago was used as the grounds in cases to sex traffic underage girls. And this isn't me being conspiratorial... it's documented.

People forget the President of the United States was Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, when Jeffrey Epstein died.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
