The fecal matter is about to hit the rotary impeller.. #crime
Those guys were probably drug runners (which doesn't make blowing them up legal) but how are we to really know, particularly with an administration led by a president who is a known liar? If I'm in a boat and some Coast Guard guy decides I might have drugs do they get to just blow me up?
I watched most of the press conference with the Epstein survivors today. Hard to understand how someone (yes, Mr President, I’m talking about you) can listen to those women and then refuse the transparency they deserve.
"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.

Evidently, RFK Jr. isn't killing people fast enough, so Oz is speeding up the process.
To be perfectly clear, the President has now crossed a line in my opinion into outright murder of foreign nationals on the high seas. Alleged drug smugglers. Not many lines left before he is ordering the murder of American citizens for crimes, real or imagined.
Hard to argue! 🤣
Losers then, losers now.
SAY YES TO PROP 50‼️ Thank you for your attention to this matter.
🔴 This is really bad ‼️ Lock Him Up #LockHimUp 🐥
Bless these brave women!
This is why we need the European Convention on Human rights and a court fo enforce it. A pity for the US they have no equivalent.
The White House is going to do everything they can to keep this press conference quiet. When they do, ask yourself why.
The survivor list won’t be able to be redacted. Looks like Johnson’s ability to coverup the files is over. #Trump/Epstein #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory
Tick tock motherfuckers!
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
See through it.
After decades of hard work and contributing to Social Security, we EARN a dignified retirement! How old were you when you first started working?

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.

Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve
You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".
"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
A man who didn’t pay his vendors and now thinks the same about America! Think about this… So Trump put the national guard on 29 day orders?! Why does this matter: They don’t pay full housing allowance and no health insurance until 30 days!!!!! WTH What an abusive commander in chief.
What’s wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are “stunned” by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/
At Union Station, veterans play a speech from General Mark Milley warning soldiers of the threat that President Trump poses.
Seen on my run in Rock Creek Park today. Parking lot near Beach and Tilden. Paper taped on over a Harris 2024 sign.

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
This is a great idea!!
Just noticed this on the checkout notification I get from the Chicago Public Library. I think it’s new and I love it!
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
"I had never seen anyone virtue-signal so gracefully, so effortlessly. I was like, 'I have to work with this guy.'" 😂😂😂😂 Meet Cory Booker's (fake) political consultant, played by Zeteo's very own @heycapello. "No one does it like Cory." zeteo.com/subscribe

Two firefighters who were fighting the Bear Gulch wildfire in the state of Washington were arrested by ICE agents on Wednesday.
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.
Tulsi Gabbard released the names of CIA OPERATIVES! “It could potentially put CIA cover procedures at risk. It could put relations with foreign governments at risk.” The Predator in Chief picks all the best people...right? Not! www.thedailybeast.com/intelligence...
Chief Justice Roberts says that tRxmp is ripping our country apart. NO SHIT ? Maybe next time don't give unlimited power to a ruthless moron who peaked in kindergarten #ReleaseThetrumpsteinFiles
Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who was shot while committing a violent crime that demonstrated a clear intention to do bodily harm to the people on the other side of those doors. The officer ended the threat she represented...as they were required to do by lethal force if necessary. It was
GREAT IDEA: New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety & delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be made. Problem with this is that those books will never be read IN FULL by the IGNORANT.
Just in case you forgot…
I absolutely love the FEARLESS Dr. Peter Hotez!!!!!

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
The MAGASSES ask me why... Here is the answer, for me.
I know and like Steny but it is time to step down
SERIOUSLY???
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
I’m a Social Security Disability Insurance recipient and I am mad as HELL and I am not going to take it anymore!

I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
Totally agree!
If you haven’t read Heather Cox Richardson’s letter from yesterday, it’s well worth your time.
I'm with JB. How about you?
The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.
Governor Pritzker just put trump in his place. I hope you can see the speech in its entirety. It is well worth a listen. Finally a Democrat besides Governor Newsom standing up for our country. The governors may save us.
LFG!!!!
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?
This fucker gave us a corrupt Supreme Court and the country went to hell because of it. Traitor to this Nation.

Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.
