Netanyahu and an Israel Without Restraint The annihilation of Gaza City, and the devastation of the families who lived there continues day and night without any hindrance from the one person who could stop the genocide- Donald Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/w...

In Trump’s biggest corruption scandal yet, the convicted fraudster & king of corruption cashed in on a massively corrupt foreign crypto deal: newrepublic.com/post/200486/... The U.A.E. got chips. The Trump team got crypto riches: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...
"At a profound level, MAGA's immigration policies are simply a way to transfer taxpayer dollars to private contractors whose job is to terrorize the American people. Fundamentally, leaders are using our own money to destroy our democracy." -Heather Cox Richardson THINK— BEFORE THEY BAN THAT NEXT.
Say it with me “release the Epstein files” (Sound up)
The #TrumpRegime and all of its followers hate women, especially poor, non-white women. #Misogynists #Misogyny
JUST IN: Maurene Comey sues DOJ over her abrupt firing as a top prosecutor in SDNY, seeks reinstatement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
RELEASE THE FILES‼️ GOP GUARDIANS OF PEDOPHILES‼️ #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp #TrumpIsOnTheEpsteinList
It's officially the #billionaires against all us regular folks. They are buying and bribing everyone with power who is motivated by greed and self-interest. They won't stop until we live in a nation just like Russia. #VoteBlue to #SaveDemocracy.
The accusations raised by Trump against Fed Gov Lisa Cook turn out to be fraudulent... and no one is surprised. www.ft.com/content/e32d...
It’s Time to Stand Up for America. Again! On October 18, communities across the nation will rise up to make clear to President Trump that in this country, we don't have kings or wannabe dictators. America belongs to us. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. tinyurl.com/3nx96vcx
Violence against another human being for any reason other than self-defense is unacceptable. So is glorifying #guns & a #gun culture that values guns over human life, as #CharlieKirk did. No one is safe from #GunViolence in America as long as gun fanatics control states and the federal government.
An FBI Director saying “see you in Valhalla” about Charlie Kirk isn’t just cringe, it’s ignorant. Valhalla is sacred myth twisted by white supremacists as extremist code. The nation’s top cop should know better than to echo the language of the very groups the FBI is supposed to stop.
That's #Accountability. I hold myself #Accountable for poor proofreading. Sorry, everyone.
Patriotic Americans cannot ignore the #TrumpRegime's use of U.S. military to murder foreign citizens in international waters with zero #Abbountability. And . . . We must contine to demand that the #DOJ #ReleaseEpsteinFiles.
The tyrannical #TrumpRegime will only be held accountable if we #FlipTheHouse in 2026 AND #ReformSCOTUS, which is now overturning all the pro-democracy, pro-accountability decisions rendered by the lower courts.
New in PN: Trump's lawyers won't stop lying in court "The administration is now the worst possible litigant, constantly belligerent & willfully defiant, & not a single person speaking on its behalf, from Trump to the lowliest newbie DOJ lawyer, should be given the benefit of the doubt ever again."
Let's not forget this important story.
Great news.
Trump can spend all day lying about how great the economy is under him, but Americans are telling the truth about the reality they are facing each day. When Americans are making videos about a can of coffee, you know #Trumpflation is real, and so is their struggle to make ends meet.
❗️One of 🇷🇺Russian "Gerbera" drones that attacked 🇵🇱Poland fell in the town of Oleśno - in Elbląg near the Polish city of Gdansk,. This is 400km from the 🇺🇦Ukrainian border and 285 from 🇧🇾Belarusian.

This monster feels untouchable. He's not.
Now that's creative interaction!
🧵 The Trump regime’s reckless elimination of ICE’s paperwork requirement is a dangerous betrayal of American legal standards. For over 15 years, ICE officers had to document targets (names, employment, status, criminal records) before any arrest, with supervisor approval.
The Supreme Court is “basically ratifying what this administration keeps saying: that these judges are lawless, that they are out of control, that they are rogue” @profmmurray.bsky.social describing the effect SCOTUS is having when it keeps overturning lower court rulings with little explanation.
When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable.
We’re being governed by absolute morons.
For whom did she and her dog vote? Can we assume that she is a registered Republican or an unaffiliated MAGA voter like almost everyone who has committed voter fraud or election interference during the past ten years?
Question: Why are many people under the impression that Trump and the awful things he’s doing are popular, even though they’re not? Answer: America is still a mostly free country where dissent against Trump’s dictatorial ambitions is widespread, but media keeps making it appear as if it’s not.
Congress completely giving up its power www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/u...
Rep. Massie dropped a bomb: Billionaire John Paulson, top GOP donor, bankroller of the Speaker, and Trump’s campaign, is in Epstein’s black book. This is why they’re terrified of a full release. The truth won’t just expose Epstein. It will expose the powerful who enabled him.
Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
He deserves a solo show in a gallery!

Okay, my 101-year-old grandfather is really enjoying the responses he’s gotten here, so I’ve finally convinced him to let me share something he’s been working on for years; a series of sculptures he calls “Trumpinnochios.” Here’s one of his best. I’ll share a few more in this thread.
My grandfather also wants to pass along the message that RFK Jr. is destroying one of the prime achievements of American medicine. This is something he knows well, given the decades of his life he dedicated to medicine, to the scientific pursuits, and to helping research new treatments for diseases.
BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

Guerilla artists take note. This propaganda POS is crying out for a response on #LaborDay.
Same thing needs to happen with every so-called #Medicare Advantage plan.
Shhhh. Red Iowa is still capable of the radical gerrymandering Trump is demanding . . .
THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A MASTERMIND OF TRADE. WE ARE NOW PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR OUR BASIC NEEDS. YOU BROKE YOUR PROMISE TO LOWER PRICES ON DAY ONE BUT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PROMISE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILE, SIR!!
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
More than 800,000 Americans have died from opioids since 1999. But there’s another drug-related crisis in the US: the exploitative, underregulated drug rehab industry. On this week's episode of @revealnews.org's "More To The Story." Listen to the full episode here: tinyurl.com/yc5ude3w
I wish they'd take out the trash at the White House starting in the Oval Office.
The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.
The Trump Administration’s war on legal immigration escalates, as they move to reinstate a practice ended 35 years ago that would see federal investigators interviewing peoples’ neighbors and coworkers to determine whether they are of good moral character and thus eligible for citizenship.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump's use of the National Guard to combat crime in American cities "is insulting to their integrity.” "I know Donald Trump doesn't care about the well-being of the members of our military, but I do," Pritzker said.
New York would have standing since many of the crimes were committed by Maxwell in Epstein's NYC mansion and New York's roadways and airports.
Given that it looks like a presidential pardon may be in the works for Epstein's co-conspirator, I'm wondering if there will be a NY State criminal prosecution of Maxwell for sex trafficking and sexual assault of minors. @newyorkstateag.bsky.social
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

International postal services are suspending shipments to the US after an exemption on tariff duties for small packages is set to expire. It’s the latest example of how President Trump’s sweeping trade policy is impacting US consumers and businesses: https://cnn.it/45NxNU9

Our @governor.ny.gov talks tough on TV but she had taken no steps to call a special legislative session, which is necessary for starting the #NYredistricting process. Watch what they do, not what they say.
Wisconsin Circuit Judge John Hyland rejected the motions to dismiss the 11 felony charges filed against three defendants charged with using forgery in an attempt to defraud the 2020 election to help Trump. They face six years in prison and a $10,000 fine. apnews.com/article/wisc...

Good news. Drug store pharmacies in my area have no #COVID19 vaccine and don't know when they'll get more. People due for their boosters are anxious. The #TrumpRegime is setting us up for another wave of death like they did in 2020. #BlameTrump #HHS
#StephenMiller believes that white people don't live in #WashinngtonDC.
The co-conpirators should be charged and prosecuted. Middle aged #pedophiles like Trump who raped girls who were obviously sex slaves . . . No well in hell they could have believed those teenagers wanted to be trapped on an island performing sex acts for strangers. #EpsteinFiles #ReleaseEpsteinFiles
#ReleaseEpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles
this shows that Tom Paine was absolutely right in his statement that a functioning representational democracy needed 1/ everyone to have the vote 2/ full and truthful information available on which to base that vote 3/ the education to understand the information and issues
With his proposed plan in California, @governor.ca.gov is bringing a bazooka to the knife fight with Trump & his illegal gerrymandering scheme. But there’s opposition in CA to Newsom’s plan & you’d be surprised to hear who it is & why. youtu.be/YKrZqoXBDbo?...
holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
❗️Zelensky presented Trump with a golf club, which was given to him by a junior sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Konstantin Kartavtsev.

CORRECT
Another LOSS for #TrumpRegime US District Judge Stephanie Gallagher appointed by Trump ruled that the Dept. of Education "acted unlawfully when it threatened to withhold federal funding from institutions that continued DEI initiatives" More, please www.rawstory.com/trump-judge-... #LoserTrump
Let's not forget that the convicted felon in the Oval Office was showing off a gift--a customized Trump handgun--that it was not legal for him to possess.
Dumb. Of course there's a limitation on a president's authority to "make this country safe." Because what does that even mean? You could keep people "safe" from gun violence by seizing every gun in the country, or keep women "safe" from rape by men by rounding up and killing every male alive.
And it sure looks like she has had a facelift, as required for Trump's work wives.
Bahahaha... In all caps, too. Whoever runs Governor Newsom's social media accounts needs a beer and a shot! 😅🤣😂
Release the Epstein files.
@neeratanden.bsky.social
#HigherEd has been under attack from the right for decades but never this bad. The #TrumpRegime is the #Fascist wrecking ball the so-called conservatives have been waiting for and they love every minute of the rampant destruction & oppression. @aft.org @neatoday.bsky.social @afthighered.bsky.social
Part and parcel of the billionaire takeover of our federal (and many states') government--take back 100 years of #Labor gains in wages, job security and benefits so #Workers have no say in what they are paid or how they are treated. Without workers, bosses make no money. #ReverseRobinHood
Your statement applies across the board! When we fight the Trump Regime's widespread destruction of federal programs and norms, Democrats must not seek merely to recover the status quo (whose flaws led to the rise of MAGA) but to strive for the progressive reforms that inspire grassroots activism.
People are drawn to government service for a lot of reasons, but one is stability — and I don’t know how a future administration will convince potential applicants that the federal government is a trustworthy employer over the long term…
"Mishandling economic statistics or improperly accessing the confidential information used to compile them is a felony..." www.wsj.com/economy/trum...
Somebody said the other day — was it @warren.senate.gov? That in our society, the poor get punishments, the rich get incentives.
"Americans already understood Trump to be corrupt, and proved themselves willing to tolerate that," Peter Wehner and Robert P. Beschel Jr. argue. "But now they are coming to believe that he is inept. In American politics, that is an unforgivable sin":
Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files
REPORTER: Speaker Johnson was in the West Bank and said it belongs to the Jewish people. Is that official US policy? TAMMY BRUCE: Clearly that's his opinion REPORTER: But it's not the opinion of the govt? BRUCE: I'm not going to speak about the opinion of the govt
If you were tasked by an enemy, foreign or domestic, with destroying the United States of America from within, would you do anything different than the actions of this administration over the past few months? You wouldn't. This would be the script.

Boycotting Amazon is not always feasible. Not everyone can participate in physical protests. Bezos needs to understand the consequences of supporting trump. Monday is Amazon’s busiest day. August is back to school shopping. So we are boycotting Amazon on Mondays 12:00am to 11:59am
