THIS DISGUSTING SCUM OF THE EARTH THUG IS WHO HE IS. HE IS NOW THREATENING TO GO TO WAR AGAINST AN AMERICAN CITY. I am more interested in the enablers. Are you ok with this? Are you so weak that you will remain silent. DON'T BE DISTRACTED. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!
The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.
Saturday Report 9/6/25 — A Democrat introduces a bill to eliminate taxes on social security; didn't Trump promise that? open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...
So I’m concerned that he’ll look weak (in his eyes) if he doesn’t respond somehow. The only saving grace here is that the average North Korean citizen doesn’t have access to the outside internet.
Re: Kim Jong Un, I understand why the NYT chose to post that expose today - there’s more shady shit going on behind the scenes that they’re trying to bring to light. It could also backfire on us. Kim knew that *someone* (likely the US) was there, but now he has no plausible deniability. 1/2
No, I don’t think so. He’s smarter, but he doesn’t have the cult appeal. The GOP isn’t afraid of him. Fox isn’t afraid of him. He would likely be a multiple year lame duck. He also doesn’t agree with Trump’s tariffs, so I would think trade would become somewhat normal again.
I doubt it. I think the GOP got their pound of flesh and appeased their constituents, and now they’ll go back to watching him dismantle our country’s health system without a peep.
The biggest immediate concern is that it makes US ships abroad targets. What happens when we start seeing China/Russia/Iran blow us civilian ships out of the water under the guise of them being ‘macro-terrorism vessels’ I’m not saying that’s what happened here, but it sets a dangerous precedent.
Mostly Stephen Miller. I’m still trying to figure out what happened to Trump last week. He’s back to doing some of his tweets himself, but he clearly went like 3 days without dictating any of them.
To be fair, I told y’all that was coming last week. They were trying to provoke one with the armada they sent. Then they tried to provoke one by destroying that boat. They deny they’re pushing for regime change, but that’s BS. And it would be a good distraction for him.
They found Mike Johnson’s sense of shame and couldn’t afford it maybe getting back to him. It was thrown out of the window locked in one of Stephen Miller’s spare coffins.
They’re absolutely violating a bunch of laws here. The problem is that Johnson will willingly neuter Congress to please Trump. He’ll let him do whatever he wants.
It’s hard to say without more evidence. Even being a drug boat alone wouldn’t green light a strike in international waters - that’s why you’re seeing the administration lean so heavily into the ‘narco-terrorism’ angle, because then it WOULD be legal. They should have captured them, though.
The truly sad part of all of this is that his followers are just like ‘yep that makes sense’ Absolute morons.
They SHOULD. Because POTUS is clearly overstepping his authority and asserting authority from Congress. That being said, I have no faith in this SCOTUS. They’ll probably buy Trump’s emergency bullshit and let them continue.
Love the idea. Hate the fact that they’ll all skip over Trump’s name when it’s on the list.
“Trump had nothing to do with Epstein” “Trump was a confidential informant that helped take Epstein down” “Releasing the Epstein files will destroy the Democrats” Then why the fuck is Trump threatening to primary the Republicans who are trying to release them?
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states. This is completely unhinged.
Glad to see it! The blue states are stepping up where the federal government has failed us.
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in
When the Court Says Trump Is Above the Law, Who Protects the Eleven Dead on That Boat? open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...
Aside from looking very puffy, sniffing a ton, and rambling off track even more than normal, Trump doesn’t look bad. He seems to be recovering well from whatever the White House was hiding.
Those pupils. In a bright ass room.
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.
Trump: I’m anti-war MAGA: yay he’s the president of peace! Trump: we’re going to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War MAGA: yay Department of War! Trump: I’m going to make things cost more so I can pay for tax breaks for my rich friends MAGA: yay tariffs!
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
The Epstein list is a who’s who of the rich & powerful. The reason Trump and the DOJ are shielding them is because they are rich and powerful. Every time we try to hold them accountable, the systems we believe were meant to deliver justice falter and betray us. (1/4)
Great news for everyone who wants to force the Justice Department to release the Epstein files!
BREAKING: Trump orders the military to fly fighter jets over anyone demanding the Epstein files.
Every Republican during the senate hearing today gave RFK jr. several chances to not sound like an unhinged lunatic. To his credit, RFK jr. never once took the bait.
🤮 like these monsters

Is Trump’s Weakness the Fatal Blow That Will Destroy America? open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...
🚨Governor Pritzker is calling Stephen Miller OUT! 👏🏻The👏🏻Cruelty👏🏻is👏🏻the📌
The twisted world Epstein created for his victims is something we could never understand. Jess Michaels, a survivor of his abuse, bravely describes how he recruited his victims on the LP Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFqeOt_rNFM
🚨Governor Pritzker has no fucks. He is not playing games with the host in D.C. Chicago is not a piece on a board, it is a city - just like LA and DC. Rolling over is not an option.
Fox News had to pay 3/4 of a BILLION dollars for lying to its viewers. And it STILL lies.
Seems bad
Rep. Jim McGovern: "Republicans are terrified because the president doesn't want to release all the Epstein files after promising that he would release them during the campaign ... What are they trying to hide?"
A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH. These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures. How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?
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"

who exactly are investing ? what are they investing on ? trump hotels ? 🙄
Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson were awesome. Chicago is the City of Big Shoulders. I'm hopeful.
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.
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
these oligarchs are our enemies.
. THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . . ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ .
"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
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
when what ?
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
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.
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."
And I share it!
how can the law be enforced when the 6 justices sitting in scotus was bought by leonard leo & protecting him from accountability?
donny has not looked good for a long time so he does look normal 🤦🏻♀️
Well. He’s puffier and oranger than usual. His hair is insane. But that seems pretty normal to me.
"Be loud for America."
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
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.

Trump could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it, Netanyahu could kill 53,000, and Putin could kill millions. The table of impunity only gets longer. It’s important to fight tyrants at all levels. #3E

"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
Fatality.

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."
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Oh man… this is hysterical. Canada is giving Gavin Newsom a free plane? 😂😅🤣
Missouri “Representative” Ann Wagner posted this and quickly deleted it. Luckily my friend found it for her! We won’t forget. Ann wants to pick her voters.
