Moskowitz: Do you think the Epstein list should come out? Farage: I have no opinion on it. Raskin: It’s been reported that he’s called for it to be released Moskowitz: I have it here. Do you agree with yourself?
Am I the only one starting to sense the cracks? 🤔
Nothing says “innocence” like threatening people who want to bring the truth to light.
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
Where is the IL AG? There need to be clear communication that any other state's National Guard deploying without jurisdiction could result in state charges! @ilattygeneral.bsky.social That is an occupying force!
The real federal resistance staffers aren’t running “Alt” accounts on social media. They’re leaking to people like Pritzker. (Although the governor probably shouldn’t have revealed this publicly…)
I don’t know who needs to hear this but the National Guard of one state can’t invade another state. They are separate sovereigns
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
One could interpret military flyovers purposefully scheduled by Trump for this time and unrelated to any other major event as an implied threat to the survivors. Nothing says “I will wield the full force of the federal government against you to try to silence you” quite like a military display.
Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
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.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
GOP Congressman Massie: “I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes."
Pritzker again exhorts the news media to tell the truth about what's happening: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal."
BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
Real evil shit.
No kings. No political dynasties.
Today’s presser with survivors of Epstein and Maxwell’s gruesome debauchery just reinforces that the Epstein files are being covered up to protect RICH and POWERFUL MEN from shame and to keep them above the law. It’s disgusting.
🚨Epstein survivor Chauntae Davies: Jeffrey Epstein’s biggest brag forever was that he was a very good friend with Donald Trump. He had an 8×10 framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
Pritzker willingly appearing w Johnson... he's serious
Rep. Stansbury: “What we heard today is a cover-up. A cover-up potentially involving foreign countries and foreign actors. As you will find out in coming days and weeks, this goes all the way to the top. Because there’s happen to be a very powerful person who doesn’t want these stories out.”
i do think people — national security reporters in particular — should think a little bit about what it means that pritzker apparently already knows what the plan for the texas national guard in chicago is, regardless of whether it actually happens or not.
Pritzker: "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."
Los Angeles - Black mayor D.C. - Black mayor Chicago - Black mayor Baltimore - Black mayor San Francisco - Just lost a Black mayor Seattle - Black/Japanese mayor New York - Black mayor (technically) and Letitia James We gotta stop with the "Democratic Run cities" bullshit and see what it is
I like JB Pritzker.
Anyone who participates in what appears in context to be a proposed military occupation of Chicago “because crime” will be doing something that is illegal and is obligated not to do that. That’s all I’ll say.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
The Trump family’s corruption is blatant. Any other president would face wall-to-wall coverage and impeachment by now. Trump is given a free pass that no other president would receive.
#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...
The Rizzler has been briefed on the president’s health and will issue a statement “when the time is right,” per a source close to the situation
of course the guy who stole the hat from the kid at the US Open is a CEO
Rudy and Trump going out around the same time isn't suspicious. It's not suspicious at all. 🫥
Our TV president is avoiding the TV. Suspicious AF
This is exactly what’s happening—if Pritzker can tell it like it is, why can’t other Democratic leaders?!
Draft dodging isn’t a lack of military service, it’s dodging the fucking draft.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
🚨Trump moments ago: “Never felt better in my life." Ok, he must be seriously ill.
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Just lost in the finals of the pickleball tournament, and I'm sorta being a big baby about it. AS IS MY RIGHT!
Call it what it is — a *war*. Now the questions are: (1) who is our general? And (2) what is our battle plan? — Sincerely, Blue State Citizens
The Second Amendment is in play. Invasion is a very specific word. It means war.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Other people who are clearly interested in running: — Pritzker — Beshear — Walz — AOC — Whitmer
It's going to be the weirdest thing watching every news network trying to sell "a nation in mourning" while Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" becomes the new national anthem.
As we all know, the best way to catch dangerous criminals is by arresting immigrants who voluntarily show up to court hearings to comply with the law.
As we all know, only a radical Marxist would oppose the government seizing an ownership stake in key industries, in exchange for giving them access to favored policies.
As we all know, the American Revolution was fought to ensure the chief executive could impose taxes without representation.
Make all Americans equal under law. End agents' impunity. Abolish qualified immunity. Require agents pay for liability insurance.
If you’re in the summoning circle, stay in the summoning circle.
My Friday night thought: FUCK ICE. That’s it
😅😅😅
🚨Trump has ordered an investigation into Biden’s presidency, targeting his cognitive fitness and use of an autopen. The probe into a former political rival is highly unusual in U.S. history and raises concerns over legal system politicization and authoritarian drift.
Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., called for a meeting of a key HHS advisory panel to be delayed until “significant oversight has been conducted.”
#FirebrandRecords #CABK
Louisiana GOP Officials ask US Supreme Court to gut Voting Rights Act and ban use of race in redistricting. If they succeed, next GOP will ask Supreme Court to end the Civil Rights Act ban on racial discrimination. GOP has gone full white hoods as they seek to impose a new American apartheid
I have a theory that RFK will be pushed out by the industry itself. Pharma wields an incredibly mighty sword. RFKs ramblings and firings are ultimately gonna cut into the bottom line because they erode trust. And baby, they can't have that.
Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!
Jim O’Neill is a tech investor, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, and co-founder with Peter Thiel of the Thiel fellowship. He has no direct medical education or experience. It’s hard to get away from the feeling that they really are trying to kill us.
When your house is on fire, the most important consideration is that your firefighters are here legally. You don't want anybody illegally fighting fires. After you have determined their papers are in order, then you can go about getting your family to safety.
Can't believe that in 2025 we have to be telling people that vaccines are safe and slavery was bad.
If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
In America we have city cops, different cops for your county, cops for the whole state, cops for soldiers, cops for malls, presidential cops, cops for the stock market, mail cops, federal cops, cops we secretly send to other countries. Even your neighbors get to pretend to be cops. We’re very safe
Fuck RFK Jr forever
I want something worse than the wheelchair for him.
He's gonna make kids go to work camps because he can atmospherically deduce chakra misalignment.
NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
Firing RFK Jr would unburden a lot of overworked mitochondria in this country
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Starting at about 50 minutes, this is pretty remarkable.
In a functional government, this would be a five alarm fire where Congress calls in Kennedy and asks him what the fuck is going on
No! AI and its pushers can get bent. bsky.app/profile/saba...
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
No new pictures, where are you mentally?
Daniil Medvedev after a loss at the US Open. Another grown man throwing a tantrum like he's a 3yo toddler. Ffs, mate. Do the world a favour—get off the court and stay off.
Did he.. 🫢
SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.
Everybody enabling this shit, every rank and file ICE bozo, needs to understand the possibility that their side will not, in fact, be in power in perpetuity and that some day they're going to have to answer for their actions.
@marcacaputo.bsky.social Dude. A monkey could report on what 47 says. It's all lies anyway. How about some insights into what he is DOING? I expected more from Axios.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Watch what Dem politicians saw about this. This is a purported firing. It’s illegal. Treating it as real signals weakness.
Out of 535 members of Congress, only 10 refuse AIPAC money. That means that the ONLY thing a highly divided Congress can agree on is to let Israel slaughter Palestinians and engage in unspeakable war crimes. Because that’s what they are paid to agree about.
Laws don’t seem to apply to the current government. Why should they apply to us?
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
This is Meeting The Moment, from Pritzker. Please watch this 90-second clip.
A major obstacle for folks attempting to defend democracy is that a perfectly accurate description of what Trump is attempting sounds like hysterical conspiracy theorizing to a lot of people. We default to “c’mon, that can’t happen here”—which is exactly why it can.
This constant drama with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the utter refusal by the Regime to just admit they fucked up and leave him alone is a perfect distillation of how incompetent and cruel they are.
We all better pay close attention. Things are going to get much worse.
The plan was always martial law. To crush opposition, bypass every safeguard, and rule unchecked. DC showed the blueprint. Blue states and cities are next. Democracy is on life support.
