These Epstein distractions ARE REALLY FUCKING EXPENSIVE.
One more thing, they walked around with long guns looking like a military invasion in a totalitarian regime.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.
🚨Children🚨Killed by🚨ICE Say their names. Their lives mattered and their deaths were govt. sanctioned murders. 1/2
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Trump is again threatening Chicago with a takeover on social media. We will again say those who trade liberty for the illusion of temporary safety deserve neither. We are not, and will not become, a military state. Remember freedom is something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you!
WOW, must see TV!
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
CDC Dir. Susan Monarez had 2 lines she could not cross: she wd not do anything illegal, & she would not do anything that ran counter to the science. RFK Jr asked her to do both- remove CDC leaders without cause, & endorse recommendations that did not represent the best science So he fired her
Went over to meet our new elections administrator today. Usually would take a picture and post it on our website or FB. With MAGA around, it’s not safe to put her image out in public.
You want to make everyone absolutely fucking hate all cops? This is how you do it. Don't FUCK with firefighters!
Countries are telling the Trump regime to fuck off. They aren't taking calls. They aren't returning calls. They are cancelling scheduled meetings. No one respects Trump and the clowns he employs. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/28/j...
It's great. Enjoy your labor day, LOSER!
We were warned by Washington, Lincoln and others. Now we must oppose this authoritarian regime, firmly voice our commitment to the Constitution and rule of law—and assert what it means to be American. www.americaamerica.news/p/its-villai...
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Every time they call him childish or insufferable, I just crack up. I think Newsom is probably the 2028 favorite right now, but it’s waaaaaaay too early to actually predict anything re: the Dem field
I think it’s a valid question, but I also think we have to be careful not to turn into MAGA. The election was extraordinarily close and largely matched what polls looked like. The margins were outside of recount territory, so they would have had to pay. I would have liked to see at least one.
I don’t think anything is out of the question at this point. A quote from my most recent piece: “Pandemics don’t wait for elections. Hollowing out the CDC may score Trump political points with the anti-vax crowd, but the bill will eventually come due, and it won’t be paid in votes.”
It might be something he’s considering, but martial law in itself won’t stop an election. He doesn’t have the authority to cancel an election. And if people are going to try to stop us from voting? Good fucking luck.
That’s simple, actually. They aren’t going after research and healthcare specifically - they’re going after data and verifiable facts period. The entire goal is to keep people dumb and afraid. It’s been their goal to force us into a post-fact society for a long time, and they’re close.
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
Ah yes, the famous Biden census of 2020… when Donald Trump was President.
“refiling her case as a misdemeanor after they were unable to persuade three grand juries over a month to indict her…” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
If Ukraine stopped to ask each other if they aligned politically to fight off Russia, they would have been conquered in less than 3 days. In times of crisis, swallow your pride and work with what you have and who you have. You are either fighting dictatorship or you are not. #3E
How Russia lies: Above: Lavrov says Russia started the war "to protect the people" Below: Russian "protection", direct hit on a residential building with a missile in Kostiantynivka. Russia doesn't care about people or the Donbas. Russia will always lie.
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?
NEW: the search of John Bolton's home & office cross yet another red line The justifications for it that leaked out over the weekend don't hold up to scrutiny We are slipping into a police state My @democracydefendersaction.org colleague Andrew Warren & I explain www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
It's mind boggling to me that President Biden was deemed too old & incompetent to be president, but Trump, who believes planes were used in the Revolutionary War & windmills cause cancer, is good to go. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s 72 hour window of protection is over and ICE demands he check in with immigration today. Mr. Garcia is falsely facing human trafficking charges and facing deportation to Uganda, a country he’s not familiar with. He asks we continue to pray, fight and resist.
We’re waiting, Jake.
1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him. 2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him. 3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.
Texas is a majority-minority state, yet Republicans drew maps that make white votes carry 2-3 times more political power than Black or Hispanic votes. That’s what gerrymandering does: it cracks and packs communities of color so their growing numbers translate into less representation.
The Republican Party is just one big child sex trafficking and sexual abuse ring at this point
Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
Ro Khanna on the Epstein Files: “Only 3% of the documents that were given to us were new. 97% were already in the public domain. Less than 1% of the Epstein Files have actually been released. They’re stonewalling and not releasing things.” ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social
Yep. Cops dressing and acting like thugs, and thugs dressing and acting like cops dressing and acting like thugs, are a prescription for tragedy.
So it’s $500M to $2.7B just to paint the border wall black? First, they slash benefits for Americans and vets to pay for it. Second, most people climb it at night, paint won’t change that. And third, who’s pocketing this fat contract? No one knows. Follow the money.
Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!
I don’t think we’ve reached the point of no return yet, but I also don’t think you’re overreacting. We’re in a dangerous moment, and you’re right to be worried, but it’s not the first time we’ve been here. America is resilient. When norms are shattered, resistance builds. We’re seeing that right now
Elections aren’t run by the federal government. Trump has no way to cancel them. He could try, but a handful of red states would be the only ones that complied. Blue states would tell him to get fucked.
I don’t think he’s actively working to oust Trump, but I think he was probably involved in the WSJ / Epstein leaks that were designed to weaken him. The GOP has gotten most of what they want from Trump, so they can afford to cut ties with him - just hard to do without alienating MAGA.
That’s probably the goal. Trump is looking for a way to deploy the Guard in other blue cities, but thankfully he doesn’t have blanket control over them like he does in DC. In other cities, he would have to do something to incite mass protests or a riot before he could legally federalize the Guard.
The only thing we can ‘do’ to stop this is mass, sustained protests. I’m talking protests that are big enough to impact the economy. Folks who aren’t on political social media don’t think it’s bad enough for that yet, though, and I honestly question whether we have the attention span for it at all.
Whoever does his color matching either quit or they hate him. That’s terrible. There’re no way the White House ran out of Cheetos to crush up and dust him with.
🙏🙏🙏
Not yet. It’s bad, but we aren’t in ‘we’ll never recover from this’ territory yet.
I’m not blaming the Squad for anything that’s happening in Gaza, no. I’m blaming the Squad for clearly getting caught up in a foreign intelligence operation and using their massive platforms to further divide the Democratic Party before the most important election of our lives.
You have to understand the hesitancy, too - particularly after the Free Palestine movement (including members of the Squad) spent months bashing Biden and dividing the Democratic Party over Israel and Gaza. Now look where Gaza is. It’s fucking awful.
I think the most important thing we can do right now is NOT participate in any civil wars in the Democratic Party - the stakes are too high for party infighting. I view this a lot like I view AOC. The establishment was wary of her. She came in and crushed it, now they love her. 1/2
If it goes nationwide, the GOP would likely have a small advantage in the redistricting battle. I don’t think it will end with Texas and California, either, but I hope it does. This shit is terrible for the nation.
I think Vance taking over is actually best case scenario (other than a meteor…). The GOP doesn’t respect him. There’s no cult like following. They don’t fear him, etc. Vance would likely have an extremely milquetoast presidency.
Do you know how you counter a powerful bully? You bring all your friends!
A senior French source has described tomorrow’s DC meeting to me as the “most consequential for peace and security in Europe” since the fall of the Soviet Union. Brief thread later.
Yeah, this is a highly unusual all-hands-on-deck meeting that wouldn’t be happening if Alaska was productive. 5 European leaders, the head of NATO and the head of the EU don’t just drop everything and fly to DC. H/T: @radiofreetom.bsky.social
This is why I have supported Zohran Mamdani from day one.
Pretty much all the Hispanics I saw yesterday were working. Gardeners, store clerks, more roofers and painters than I could count. Not one of them looking sketchy in the 95° heat they were working in. We have to stop ICE.

Yes! Until the portion of the Democratic party who DEMAND a purity test be met gets the fuck over it, we will continue to have our asses handed to use. You aren't asking someone to move into your fucking house, your hiring them to protect democracy. It's different. Grow the fuck up.
Little Donny's attempts at distracting us from the Epstein files is directly proportional to his depravity documented therein.
@barackobama.bsky.social would’ve never walked out of a Putin meeting looking like he’d seen a murder. Putin couldn’t get that kind of leverage on him. Not in a million years. For that.. they needed a man whose ego needs constant stroking, none other than the most vulnerable man in America: TRUMP.
Life comes at you fast
Let’s Not Ever Forget To Remind America 🇺🇸 Of This! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾
Rep. Ro Khanna says there will be at least a dozen Jeffrey Epstein survivors who will have the floor at his September 3 joint press conference with Rep. Thomas Massie.
NSFW because I have HAD IT!!
I’ve had my complaints with Newsom over the years, but he’s handling this moment exactly right. And Ted Cruz is throwing an absolute fit about California redistricting. 🤣🤣🤣
Vacation was fantastic! Putin knows how much of a political win that was. Not only did he get the literal red carpet and the flyover, but he was given further legitimacy by getting to ride in the literal seat of American force projection.
It’s going to be an extensive process. I’m not just worried about the beast. Anywhere the Russians went in Alaska (even hotels and airports) should also be thoroughly swept. Anything near the tarmac will need to be swept for active and passive listening devices, etc. It’s a shitshow.
Yes, but usually close allies - not the former head of the KGB.
A metric fuck ton. All those ‘Russian businessmen’ were almost certainly walking surveillance devices. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we eventually find concealed micro cameras, listening devices, etc. There’s so much important technology in Alaska - early warning, missile defense, etc.
They can’t. The whole thing was a farce. Putin spent a lot of time talking about US-Russia trade deals. I’m betting this was all a pretext to reduce sanctions and open trade with Russia. That’s speculation on my part, of course.
I don’t think they HAVE another cult leader that could take over post-Trump. None of the rest of them have the cult appeal, and they all want to be next. I think we’re likely to see a MAGA civil war in the post-Trump era.
1. I did not! 2. Probably. It’s easy to see with all the police cars that end up there
Two questions tonight. First, did you get Subway take-out in the last few days? Second, could Putin see Sarah Palin's house? Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device
I certainly wouldn’t discount the possibility. The USSS will heavily sweep it for electronic surveillance and attempt to re-sanitize it, but it’s insane that we’re even talking about this.
Yes. It was created by EO and can be undone by EO.
Certainly not with any of our allies. Disgusting.
It certainly seemed that way. I’m betting Trump offered at least some mineral rights. It obviously didn’t go well - if they had anything good to report, he would have done so at the presser.
I think he’s been knocking it out of the park. Not only is he getting under Trump’s skin, it’s also playing *really* well for sound bites and for the ‘DO SOMETHING’ people on social media who think Dems aren’t doing enough.
Some of the most embarrassing shit I’ve ever seen
I keep hoping that someone will just leak them - there were a lot of eyes on them when they were trying to scrub it for Trump’s name, and I have to think at least one person made a copy. I’m surprised it hasn’t already leaked, honestly.
Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!
yes, an out-of-the-office autoreply
