Today kids were being sent back from the nurse with zero help because TX laws require a new parental permission slip to be signed before any kind of care, even a bandaid, can be administered. Never in my teaching career has a ##txlege session produced so many dumb consequences in schools. #txed

literal lunatics are in charge of public health right now
"I thought they were going to make me board the plane like they did with the other kids from the shelter, but they asked me for my name and told me I was not on the list." A terrifying declaration from an unaccompanied child nearly removed to Guatemala straight out of Schindler's List.
Love my big beautiful state of Washington!
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"
It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.
One of the Epstein survivors (I missed her name, forgive me) just announced a number of the survivors will be compiling their own list of perpetrators involved in the sex trafficking operation.
âIf I was there, [Speaker Johnson] would have kicked me out,â said Epstein survivor Marijke Chartouni, whoâs in DC for Wednesday's presser but wasnât in his private survivor meeting. Johnsonâs Iâm "protecting the innocent" by not releasing the files isnât going to fly.
JFC @schumer.senate.gov!! STOP! Just STOP! We do not need another old person in the senate. We need Platner. I am so fucking sick of you old farts holding onto power and losing us elections cuz you wonât listen to us. I say that as a 63yoa woman so Iâm not being ageist. We need young people now!
FEMA must be âreformed into an agency that is supporting our local and state officials that are there on the ground and responsive to the individuals that are necessary to help people be healed and whole through these situations,â Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said.
JFC! The trauma that Trump and these fucking ICE agents are causing to CHILDREN is enraging. WTAF is wrong with these people that they could do this? Fucking psychopathsâŚevery last one of them.
BARTIROMO: It could be that the pardoning of Dr. Anthony Fauci is not legitimate? COMER: Exactly. That's correct.
As Trump threatens my home of Chicago with an illegal military occupation, please know these 3 facts that heâand much of corporate mediaâwill not bother to address. Because doing so dismantles Trumpâs entire fascist narrative designed to enable autocratic rule. www.qasimrashid.com/p/as-trump-t...
AOC: If anybody says âthis isnât fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congressâ maybe you should stay home.
AOC: Millionaires are very overrepresented in congress⌠If we want a congress that reflects the actual country we seek to represent and fight for, we need to have working class people who work here
It's telling that the Newsmax anchor didn't ask Don Jr. to defend the family's crypto scam. She asked him: How do you silence the critics?
One detail an Epstein survivor noted in today's presser: DOJ did not inform Ghislaine Maxwell's victims she was being moved to cozier digs.
If you have the misfortune of being represented by any of these House Rules Committee members, be sure to give their offices a call.
August became a nightmare for Russiaâs oil infrastructure. Ukrainian UAVs from the 14th Regiment and the âGRAFâ group hit 17 major fuel and refinery targets across the monthâfrom Ryazan and Afipsky to Syzran and Krasnodar. Russian fuel is now a flammable liability.

Some hoax? Bravo Ron Wyden He gives a full breakdown of his ongoing #FollowTheMoney investigation on Epstein "Whatâs in the Treasury Epstein Files & the Trump administrationâs desperate efforts to cover them up" 1- www.instagram.com/reel/DMyxKnv... 2- www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump: So what they are trying to do with the Epstein hoax is get people to talk about that instead of speaking about the tremendous success like ending seven wars
Does anyone need a reminder that Alex Acosta, who gave Jeffrey Epstein the notorious "sweetheart deal" the first time his crimes were exposed became Trump's first labor secretary (until he was forced to resign when Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald exposed the whole thing in 2018).
I wrote this five years ago. Today we heard the screams. lithub.com/in-patriarch...
Oh.
Get out of Florida, ASAP
Epstein "It isn't political" ??? IF IT ISN'T POLITICAL then why do ALL Democrats support the bill to RELEASE THE ENTIRE TRUMP/EPSTEIN FILES while only 4 Republicans IN THE HOUSE support the bill.
So proud of my big beautiful Washington state! LFG!
Epstein survivors say theyâre compiling their own client list. âWe know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-ledâfor survivorsâ
Anti-birth control fear campaigns are scaring women away from contraceptives instead of fixing the real problem: our broken healthcare system.
"For so many years, it felt like Epstein's criminal behavior was an open secret." âWeâre not going away. Weâre not staying quiet. Weâre not going to give up.â Annie Farmer (Epstein survivor)
Let's give the Epstein victim's presser today the highest possible ratings we can. Put it on all your TV's and stream it on your phones and tablets. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #BelieveTheVictims
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
I LOVE @raskin.house.gov!!!!!!!!
Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
Find the journalists who are on the ground in Chicago and support them as they take risks to cover any ICE escalation or deployment of National Guard troops. Donate and amplify their videos and articles. Trust them before you trust corporate or establishment media that parachutes into the city.
Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
Yay! My big beautiful blue state of Washington always comes through.

Virginia Giuffreâs brother cries as he laments that his sister should be with the survivors in Washington. âI am so honored to be with you. She would be screaming. What we are looking for is justice and accountability! Showing a force like this, they have to listen!â www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6nDKrqG/
Manu Raju asks the tough question about how the survivors felt about Maxwellâs transfer to a country club by #45!?! They were outraged, horrified and were not made aware!!! HOW CAN THEY TRUST #45?! HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED!
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivorsâ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
@reuters.com September 3, watch the survivors unleash the truths! youtu.be/dflRDsrEVk0?...
Putin is a murderous dictator and no one should listen to a fucking word he says about Ukraine or any other country.
Iâm so impressed by the survivors and Iâm behind their efforts to get validation, conviction for those involved ! Enough is enough! #jeffreyEpstein

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
Thatâs bullshit. The both sidesâism re Fox and MSNBC is absolute bullshit. MSNBC tells the truth. People may not like that it shows that Dems are decent and law abiding and Republicans arenât but thatâs the fucking truth.
REPUBLICAN @RepThomasMassie says the Epstein files *release* was bogus
Hypothetically, could Pritzker call up the Illinois national guard to defend the state against the Texans send in by the federal government? Or ask, say, New York, to send guardsmen to his aid? When does it become civil war?
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) told Fox that people are going to be outraged when they hear what the 10 Epstein victims have to say at his press conference with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) These victims haven't spoken for decades. When Epstein got that lenient plea deal, no one talked to the victims !!!
The White House has made it clear that any Republicans considering joining Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) in his bipartisan push to force a vote on the full release of the Epstein files will be treated as committing a âvery hostile act to the administration,â
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Verdict and sentencing phase of Bolsonaro's attempted coup trial begins in Brazil. @apnews.com

"He's worried. About the wrong. Border." -- Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, whose speech today focused on the unchecked flow of illegal guns in Chicago. "They are coming from red states," he said simply.

The U.S. is now governed not by a political party but by a gang of criminals desperate to prevent the elections that could expose them to indictment. In a sane world Congress and legacy media would be saying so plainly, and moving heaven and earth to stop them
Get ready for them all to deny their complicity...
Weâre 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)
hero
Fuck you, Fico! You cozying up to murderous Putin is disgusting! #WeStandWithUkraine
#ProudBlue They said it struck a drug vessel. I donât believe anything this regime says. I believe they are trying to start shit to suspend our elections. I completely believe that is what they are doing.
The media's basic assumption that crimes only count if they happen in secret has been Trump's saving grace throughout his two terms. He keeps blabbing about them -- here, he's posting a video of a targeted assassination of civilians -- but because he's so brazen they assume it's no big deal.
REP. MCGOVERN: âWhatâs going on is Republicans are terrified â And I think we all know why. The president doesnât want to release all the files.â
Trump illegally killing drug dealers, illegally unleashing the national guard and military against citizens, illegally detaining and kidnapping immigrants, threatening to end mail-in voting, and urging gerrymandering. Folks, what would you call these actions if another leader did them?
Dear 2nd Amendment voters: If Trump can send the Texas National Guard into Illinois against that stateâs will, what stops the next president from doing the same, except to take your guns?
I am not seeing "Constitutional amendment reversing Citizens United" on any of these New Reconstruction wishlists folks are circulating, and. Absent starting over from scratch, I don't see us establishing any semblance of democracy here without that plus Supreme Court expansion.
anyway itâs shocking that no one was able to predict that when the George W. Bush administration gave itself unreviewable powers to murder and imprison people, those powers were eventually going to get used intentionally on noncombatants
i do think people â national security reporters in particular â should think a little bit about what it means that pritzker apparently already knows what the plan for the texas national guard in chicago is, regardless of whether it actually happens or not.
From the man who has broken every one of those Ten Commandments, including âthou shall not commit adulteryâ which is why his wife is divorcing him. Performative religion at its most obtuse.
Oh for fuck's sake...
Meanwhile⌠the rest of us are here in Parliament doing what we were elected to do
Iâd like to believe Rudyâs story about the car crash, but I remember Shop Rite 2022.
Over the long weekend, the Trump administration quietly tried to deport 76 unaccompanied children to Guatemala â ignoring laws protecting such minors from speedy deportations. Thankfully, a federal judge blocked the effort. The cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.
ICYMI: A group of admin law scholars sent a letter to the House & Senate Appropriations Committees arguing why "pocket rescissions"âthe idea that the president can propose rescissions of budget authority late in a fiscal year and then allow funds to expire while the proposal is pendingâare illegal.
WOW. This is one of the original Alien Enemies Act cases going back to March. The conservative 5th Circuit has ruled Trumpâs use of the Alien Enemies Act to disappear people to El Salvador was UNLAWFUL.
Abortion and having say so over your own body is NOT a complicated moral debate and nobody cares about your personal beliefs #amyconeybarrett Feelings are not supposed to be involved when you are a SCOTUS. Shove it! #Pinks www.rawstory.com/abortion-267...
Chicago, like any major city, is not without crime or flaws. But unless the Natâl Guard has a plan to understand & combat gang violence, create economic & social investment in historically underserved neighborhoods, address poverty, housing costs & the long arm of redlining, theyâre not the answer.
stephen miller targeting mexican independence day celebrations, anything you want to say about this man is correct
Oh go fuuuuuuuuck yourself. The president doesnât do anything public for five days and this is what you fuckers think is the story? Unserious stupid assholesâŚ
Love our beautiful state!
I need this to find those who can help tonight. I wish living in the US meant access to affordable healthcare, but it doesn't. I have stage 4 cancer & the bills are relentless. I can't do it on my own. I'm 43. A mom, wife, teacher. I just need help. Please, please share & help me find my angels.
Rep. Stansbury: âWhat we heard today is a cover-up. A cover-up potentially involving foreign countries and foreign actors. As you will find out in coming days and weeks, this goes all the way to the top. Because thereâs happen to be a very powerful person who doesnât want these stories out.â
Back to this, folks: Release the ENTIRE #EpsteinFiles Release the ENTIRE #EpsteinFiles Release the ENTIRE #EpsteinFiles Release the ENTIRE #EpsteinFiles Release the ENTIRE #EpsteinFiles NOT the ones that were already released. We are NOT stupid.
The ways in which I love this Canadian cannot be measured. đĽđđ¨đŚ
This anti-drowning program cost $2 million a year. The National Guard deployment to DC is costing an estimated $1 million a day. www.npr.org/sections/sho...
