Trump wants to control the news cycle ahead of Epstein’s victims telling the world their stories.

Trump wants to control the news cycle ahead of Epstein’s victims telling the world their stories.
I actually think he’s going to announce an ICE expansion into Chicago and other sanctuary cities. But it’s the first time we’ll have a good look at him live in a week.
This seems important… 🚨 Trump is set to make a televised announcement from the Oval Office on September 2, 2025, at 2 PM ET.
Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change
Joined by activists from West L.A., Los Feliz representing freeway activists up and down the West Coast. We are DONE with ICE in L.A. We are DONE with #FascistGOP!
* BESSENT: WE MAY DECLARE NATIONAL HOUSING EMERGENCY IN THE FALL @bloomberg.com
“Staggeringly dishonest” Tariffs are taxes on Americans, and Bessent (and Trump) know it
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday that the back-up plan to uphold the tariffs could be the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. The Smoot-HawleyTariff Act is described by an article on the U.S. Senate website as “among the most catastrophic acts in congressional history.” Buckle up America.
Plan B. As in Batshit Bessent Buffoonery.
Bessent expects Supreme Court to uphold legality of Trump's tariffs but eyes Plan B
This such an extraordinarily punchable face
This idiot is a dang gum idiot.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says frozen Russian assets shouldn’t be immediately confiscated, calling them a negotiation tool with Putin. The question remains: who gave Bessent the authority to bargain with assets meant for Ukraine’s recovery?
Why, EVERY time I see Bessent, do I see Terry Gilliam in Monty Python as "A Man With A Stoat Through His Head"?
Bitch, everything you just said is a lie LA did not need you to do shit. Get the fuck out of my city
First: LA doesn't stand. We lean casually against the doorway with our hands in our pockets. Second: Fuck fascist Kristi Noem.
ICYMI — “LA wouldn’t be standing today” This is a real thing @Sec_Noem said on tv, with a straight face
Kristi Neom's "facts" are as authentic as her lips and hair extensions.
“LIKE A BROKEN RECORD” Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trump’s lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago — even as 🇺🇸 media wouldn’t.
There in lies their problem. They only care about the “birth”. Then could give a rat’s ass what happens next.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, what’s the timeline for the book on how the President went missing like a week after he had weird bruising on his hands?
EO renaming the White House the Golden House of Cronyism.
End of season sale in the Oval Office Grift Shop? 1500% off everything.
Curious
More framing like this, please www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Presidents Xi, Putin and PM Modi would never be palling around today if it wasn’t for the extraordinary foolishness shown by the president of the United States.
Standing up and showing others the way!
We hang together Or we hang separately
🚨Speaking truth to power in Atlanta, Georgia! This man is spot on. We see you, Atlanta!🚨
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
But they’ve got to drive the gauntlet through the noble North Shore. Not a single patriot in NC, Waukegan, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, watch out Highwood-they’re on your route-same for you Highland Park, nor Deerfield or the Cook County suburbs should sell these people a crust of bread or a gal of gas.
🚨🚨🚨If you live anywhere in the greater Chicago area…ICE will start using Great Lakes Naval Station as a command center for their “enforcement” operations across Chicago on Sept 5. The base isn’t in the city or Cook County. It’s north, in Lake County. Expect raids across entire the metropolitan area.
🚨NYC never misses a beat! Today is no different.
Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Happy Labor Day! #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory
Take that protest energy from today to Congress tomorrow. Demand that they release the unredacted Epstein files, and then impeach the criminal. Operation Open File - Tuesday, September 2nd. Let's give Congress the welcome back from their vacation that they deserve! #WorkersOverBillionaires
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
NEWS: Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler, 78, will not seek re-election
Workers. Not Billionaires and CEOs. They put their lives on the line during Covid. Many died because of Trump’s negligence and the lies he told. Trump has been and will always be anti-worker.
Project 2025, y’all. We tried to tell you. Why didn’t you read it?
As we celebrate Labor Day, President Trump is rolling back the rights of federal workers to organize unions and collectively bargain. Eliminating these protections is a violation of workers' free speech rights.
This regime has more resistance to their disgraceful tactics than ever. We still have rights guaranteed by the union contract This slimy group of bullies will lose to the workforce by standing up for the law! #UnionStrong
If you look back at the ways Hitler and the Nazi regime used emergency powers and fear to rise to power, the echoes from 1933 are hard to miss. Trump may not be a gay Hitler fish, but he sure does love those Nazi fish sticks. www.britannica.com/topic/Enabli...
We want to give a big shout-out to Palm Beach Gardens, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Albuquerque, Cleveland, and Greensboro! Thank you for showing up today and making your voices heard! 💚✊
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 1 SEPTEMBER 2025 LABOR DAY THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES To those of you who worked today, I thank you To those of you who MARCHED today, I thank you WE MUST FIGHT To those of you who resisted today, I thank you This is for you To bring a smile and one nut
It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.
RFK Jr: not just the worst Kennedy ever, the worst anything ever.
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.
Along with the excitement that accompanies the start of school, parents and schoolchildren in Washington, DC, have something new to contend with this year: how to navigate a federal law enforcement surge and immigration crackdown in the nation’s capital.
No shit. “Show me your papers”shouldn’t be a thing in the US you complicit fucks.
Summer is over and here’s proof CNN has officially flushed its journalistic integrity down the shitter. Tell the truth. Did KKKaroline Leavitt write this?
This summer, President Trump has golfed almost every weekend, but mostly stayed in Washington, DC | Analysis
Boston is a union town.
This is an insult to all who deserved the honor…
Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: “Man from Moscow” Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
Support for Trump amongst his youngest voters is already collapsing. And, trust me, we’re gonna keep dragging it down. 🫡
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Yeah he's not beating the allegations
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
So are we in a Weekend at Bernie's situation right now?
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
I love this guy
I desperately want to email this to a certain journalist
I don’t know what did or didn’t happen to Trump, but what I do know is the country has the right to know the truth.
Way to rise up San Diego Labor Day ✊
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
Good grief. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-r...
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Austin Labor Day: really catchy music and great energy! Really love the vibe!
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
There is a news conference scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, September 3, at the House Triangle in Washington, D.C., for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse. #Justice4Survivors #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
It is nearly 80 degrees outside. It is not cool. Why does he have multiple layers on?
Netflix co-founder, Reed Hastings, has given $2 million dollars to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaign’s outsize stakes. This is to counter Texas’ GOP gerrymandering with a new map designed to oust California Republicans. Let’s do this!! 🔥
I’m not afraid. I will vote! I can’t wait to vote.
I will crawl over broken glass if necessary! 👊🏼
😳…is this what voting will be like…😳

Labor Day #WorkersOverBillionaires march gets underway at the Inner Harbor ...
This is the first time I’ve ever actually wanted to see a Trump press conference. Lord 🤦🏽♂️
It’s not the immigrants. It’s the billionaires ruining our country. Stop buying into the divisionary tactics of the oligarchy. It’s time to take back our country and power of the people #LaborDay
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA
Spent some time blocking trolls. It's one of the great features of Bluesky.
Beautiful day for a protest in Madison WI. My dad was defended by a union. Workers Over Billionaires!
Friends, I urge you to join a Workers Over Billionaires protest this Labor Day. Let’s honor the roots of this holiday by standing together to protest the exploitation and oppression of our tinpot dictator. bit.ly/4lMgKaR
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
