Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
DiSabato: Jim Jordan knew that Dr. Strauss was performing unnecessary genital exams. And he absolutely knew that Dr. Strauss was taking showers with us on a daily basis.. He knows that because he was there with us. Jim took showers with us.
Bloomberg report revealed that 1,000 FBI agents were tasked with flagging Trump's name in the Jeffrey Epstein files, totalling tens of thousands of pages. His name, which appeared numerous times, was then redacted from the files along with other prominent public figures, according to Bloomberg…
We just discovered a Trump DOJ official was at January 6, telling other traitors to “kill” police Now we learn Trump’s BLS nominee, EJ Antoni-apart from being totally unqualified-was ALSO part of the insurrection The inmates are not only running the asylum They’re bringing in MORE inmates to help
🐥 Drop a ❤️ if u miss Obama

In Middleton, NY. This guy probably saved his neighbors from Trump's masked thugs. This is how you firmly assert your rights and stand up for our communities.
The song is TOES by DeBaby, and I somewhat doubt they got permission. Last week they got copyright struck for using a Jay-Z song). The lyrics have the word “ice” in them and include “Better not pull up with no knife / I bring guns to the fight,” which I guess they think makes them seem badass?
Trump DOJ official urged Jan 6 rioters to 'kill' cops NPR obtained transcript of Jared Wise's trial testimony, where he acknowledged he repeatedly yelled "kill 'em" as officers were being attacked. He was not convicted due to Trump's order to end all Jan 6 prosecutions www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

Trump’s tariff tantrum: a masterclass in economic delusion. While he boasts billions “flowing in,” his own Treasury boss confirms the real victims are American buyers footing the bill. Tariffs aren’t magic income—they’re a regressive tax, crushing consumers while the chaos costs us jobs and growth.

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response. She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.
The trauma immigrant children carry from ICE’s atrocities runs deep. Then folks wonder why our communities “don’t progress”—we do, despite being systemically traumatized. This is how marginalization works: hurt the children early, then blame the adults for the scars they were forced to carry. #Pinks
this dude looks more caught than the Coldplay CEO
The cruelty, the inhumanity, the total lack of human decency continues to careen down into an abyss…
“Both of them.”
Why do some still support Trump? Certain personality traits—associated with callousness, manipulation, enjoyment of others’ suffering—correlate with conservative ideology & Trump support. MAGAs score higher on measures of malevolent traits;lower on empathy/compassion #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
This is Trump’s f*cked-up economy, but don’t miss this point in the jobs report—if it hadn’t been for healthcare, we would’ve actually lost jobs every single month.
Weakest 3 months of job growth since 2020.
Four more WaPo departures: Hank Stuever, Ann Hornaday, Craig Timberg, Joel Achenbach. Source says it feels like the Hunger Games: “My inbox has literally dozens of announcements of departures or newsroom wide goodbye notes.” —via @benmullin.bsky.social on X
Your reminder that the tipped minimum wage is $2.13 /hr, and has been since 1991. When employers refuse to pay a living wage, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets. Those aren’t handouts to workers. They’re handouts to companies.
Only an asshole would be a friend of Jeffrey Epstein and an enemy of Canada.

Today at a Homeland Security Committee hearing, the senior most advisor to Tulsi Gabbard couldn't give me a good answer for why they just happened to publish a report about Barack Obama the *same day* President Trump was named in the Epstein Files.
Today I delivered my maiden speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate, a long held tradition for new senators. It’s a love letter to Michigan where we invented the middle class. Protecting the middle class is and always will be my north star. youtu.be/SH3Jb_wFVmU

Evangelicals relentlessly talk about THE DEVIL and his temptation of human souls. Yet, when the embodiment of all they attribute Satan walks this earth, they elect him President and ignore all the tenets of their faith. @Dearlstephens.bsky.social reminds us that most of us will see dawns Trump wont.

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard. This is a movement. And today was a turning point.
A few things are clear from this: 1. Trump has lost control of the narrative. 2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files. 3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries. 4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.
Another example the 47 regime making us a worldwide laughingstock. Nevermind supposedly educated professionals running a country put up more red ink than a struggling 3rd grader, the content is so condescending most of us would lose our jobs for sending a letter like this to a client.
Where does the line between enforcing U.S. law & utter inhumanity lie? We don’t need to carefully parse its precise placement in order to understand that what this administration is doing has crossed it, is utterly reprehensible, and will be condemned by history open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The revolution will be localized. Find organizations to join and support in your community. Build resistance networks with your friends, family and colleagues. Attend trainings on non-cooperation and train others with what you learn. Building a national movement starts with you—in your backyard.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)
there is a comical screwup in the Big Beautiful Bill that would reward states for making improper food benefit payments and punish states that don't. it's a provision that got twisted around in an effort to get Lisa Murkowski's vote. haste makes waste! www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...
The Big Ugly Bill is-in part-a smokescreen to cover the MAGA agenda Which is to destroy the Affordable Care Act This was ALWAYS the plan "The bill 'will move us as a nation back to the same percentage of uninsured before Obamacare'" But it's worse Rural hospitals will close And people will die
UPDATE: Senate Republicans made Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill even worse. Now, this bill rips health care coverage away from 17 MILLION people—that’s an additional 1 MILLION people. Health care cuts now total over $1 TRILLION.
1,500+ at our Townhall in Wichita, Kansas this morning. Working people across the nation are pissed off about this rigged economy, and they’re showing up. Wichita’s Congressman refuses to host a Townhall, so we pulled up instead.
ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.
Litman: The irony of this just spillth over—because the Biden administration was subject to nationwide injunction after nationwide injunction in cases that didn’t warrant it. And they asked the Supreme Court, “Guys, can you do something about this?” The Republican justices declined to do so.
MAGA hates kids after they come out of the womb
Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.
ICE arrested a 6-year-old boy with leukemia at immigration court. His family is suing.
A Canadian citizen died in ICE custody on June 23rd. It was only reported today. I guess they needed time to get their stories straight.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.
The Trump administration wants you to believe: ‘There’s an invasion at our border that requires the military.’ OR ‘The border is closed and Trump did the impossible!’ WHICH IS IT?!!
He is older than dirt
