Trump called republicans and threatened them not to sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files saying he would consider it a "hostile act" against him.
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."
I’m going to guess that the sister and her white supremacist, drug dealing, biker boyfriends were also in the mix. Canadians seem to have forgotten about her and the murder her boyfriend/husband committed in the Ford family home. No wonder Dougie’s afraid of people breaking into his house.
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Phang: The judge notes that the MacArthur Park show of force was just sheer political theater. Major General Sherman, objected, expressing concern that there would be a large number of people because it was Father’s Day. To which Bovino criticized him, questioning his loyalty to the country.
Mike Johnson faces escalating pressure as House GOP prepares for Epstein vote.
For those of you who care about environmental issues or about how the Trump regime is dismantling our unions, this is a must read. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
That Pritzker presser? Unreal. A sitting governor saying, flat out, the Union is coming apart and his state is being invaded by an authoritarian regime. This is a whole new level of crisis.
In Trump’s pay-to-play justice system, you can get away with defrauding nursing homes, skirting your taxes, and committing securities fraud. So much for “law and order.” https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?feature=shared
BIG: 5th circuit strikes down administrations use of alien enemies act to deport folks to El Salvador. “We conclude that the findings do not support that an invasion or predatory incursion has occurred. We therefore conclude that petitioners are likely to prove that the AEA was improperly invoked.”
According to Oxfam the wealth of the richest 1% has surged by $33.9 trillion since 2015, enough to eliminate annual global poverty 22 times over
But I thought the Trump admin was trying to fight crime in DC. Open carry isn’t legal, but they’re going to turn a blind eye? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! 🚨 U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro directed her office to no longer seek felony charges against individuals carrying rifles or shotguns in D.C.
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Who would have thought that electing a drug-dealing, high school drop out to lead Canada’s largest, richest, and most diverse Province would turn out out to be a bad idea?
Local man who barely scraped through school is about to evaporate $billions of public funds on useless new expressways and a tunnel under an existing one, seizes upon the fact someone at a school board expensed a packet of chewing gum. Priorities, dear boy, priorities. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼
Putting military lawyers in charge of immigration courts is problematic—and “unlawful”
Paul Offit, a RFK Jr. critic who co-invented a rotavirus vaccine that has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, was blocked from participating in the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee so that RFK Jr. can continue to kill millions of people.
Talking down Britain again
In today’s @theglobeandmail.com, Mr. Mason calls out Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith’s lies about federal equalization payments. But begs the question: when will Albertabama’s citizens stop electing premiers who specialize in pandering to the petulant teenagers of 🇨🇦Canada’s richest province?
“.. Not only have I never heard of this happening, I've never heard of a prosecutor who's heard of this happening," said former federal prosecutor Brendan Ballou. 🤡 @cbsnews.com @macfarlanenews.bsky.social www.cbsnews.com/news/d-c-gra...
Lice is low down on threats to public health — they don't carry disease, and they don't jump or fly. But school systems and parents are still grappling with whether to keep kids with lice in class.

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
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.
I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?
This is a great podcast. Thanks for the shout outs for the work I'm doing. I have been fighting the fascists for 40 years. As for Charlie or Chuck... I'm Charlie on the national front but Chuck to anyone who is from Cobalt or a musician. @worseeveryday.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejhw...
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the 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?
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.”
Dear 2nd Amendment voters: If Trump can send the Texas National Guard into Illinois against that state’s will, what stops the next president from doing the same, except to take your guns?
Not that the 🍊💩4🧠Felon will take any notice of this at all. Keeps on thinking he is above the Law.
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?"

So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Since returning to office, Trump has: -Stripped 1 million federal workers of collective bargaining rights -Reversed Biden's minimum wage hike for federal contractors -Gutted OSHA and frozen enforcement of a regulation protecting miners from lung disease "Pro-worker" president.
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas
Evidence that a nation can recover; that a democracy can recover; that a culture can recover. When Bohemian Rhapsody can be sung along with Hay una mujer desaparecida en Chile, en Chile, en Chile. And the junta knows, and the junta knows, where she is…. There is always hope.
oh this is straightforward white nationalist agitprop
Chile is one of the safest places for LGBTQ+ to reside. They have some of the worlds strongest anti discrimination laws. Green Day plays Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen right before they hit the stage. Here are 50,000 Chileans losing their shit this past weekend. #HumanRights #Chile #MusicSky

Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”
Feels like the garbage taking itself out, tbh. Deem a disposition of his hobby farm and tax the fuck out him on his exit out the door.
The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
Like a 1980s televangelist, Trump is now asking his supporters to send him $15 to help him get to Heaven. meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...
Over the long weekend, the Trump administration quietly tried to deport 76 unaccompanied children to Guatemala – ignoring laws protecting such minors from speedy deportations. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the effort. The cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.
Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson says “Chicago will continue to have a violence problem as long as red states continue to have a gun problem.” Mayor Johnson points out if Trump really cared about violence in America, he would work on gun reform not militarizing cities!
BREAKING: Republican Thomas Massie speaks out against the pathetic release of the already released Epstein documents, equating it to the Binders Trump gave to influencers a few months ask.
"When did we become a country where it's okay 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?" Gov. JB Pritzker
when you’re upset at the cool kids for not inviting you to their lunch table
Trump made $3.4 billion while in office. Thou shalt not pretend he took a pay cut for the people.
Sure. Trust the former heroine addict who had a brain worm eat what was still left in there.
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."
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
No lie detected.
Okay, you’ve decided to shit on my plate this morning. Other than preventing people the freedom of travel, what is your actual plan?
Well, adoy. Unregulated capitalism is going to kill us all. That’s why this is the moment. Because the gross disparities between the 1% and the bottom 90% is so extreme. Something has got to give. And it can’t be the poor because they don’t have anything left to give.
180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
🔥🔥🔥 Carney on Poilievre - “I honestly believe he disdains much about the country. It’s pretty awkward for him now that the country is coming together. He’s trying to find a flag to wrap himself in & play patriot. The last refuge of a scoundrel, the last time I checked.” #cdnpoli
Republicans have handed Democrats a powerful agenda which is to completely reform health care in the USA. Health care should not be a for-profit industry.
Labor Day in Nevada County! Powerful message 💙
I resisted doing alt text for a while because I’m lazy. Now I look at as an amusing challenge. I’ve adopted the framing of chivalry. As, for example: On a field of male go go dancers. Hot and sweaty. Elon Musk. Rampant. Motto: “No one would fuck this fucking Nazi.”
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
Illinois is now the number one state in the Midwest to work in. This ranking reflects our work in making Illinois the best state in the nation to do business, raise a family, and thrive.
Chen notes that the "image of red-state governors mustering uniformed troops for duty in blue-state cities" has "left many Americans with the foreboding sense of a nation dangerously divided, perhaps even drifting toward open conflict." www.alternet.org/trump-abbott...
Tbh, I hope so. And I hope that it ends with a fully-funded public health care system, free education through university, and no child ever going hungry or dying of a wholly preventable disease again, regardless of where they were born. And the 1% squeezed until their pips squeak.
#DanielleSmithisanidiot!
NASA scheduled a major workshop for early career researchers during the most important week of the Jewish calendar, during two of the most important days of that week and expects me to accept that this was “difficult scheduling conflicts” That’s what casual antisemitism sounds like
I don’t think that you are the only one to expect it. Look at Zuckerberg and Bezos and their self-contained compounds in Hawaii. Or Bezos and Musk, in Texas. Even the Trump’s have recently purchased an island in Greece. The billionaires are building castles for when the peasants revolt.
To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

At this point, I have to assume the only reason we have guns in this country is for mass shootings, because it definitely isn't for fighting tyranny. 🤔

At some point in the past two decades American journalism made the decision that “framing” the news was more important than just laying out who, what, where, when, how. Now it’s doing the same with simplifying & framing academic research. Opinion journalism has come to dominate the “reporting.”
