Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/tragedy-br...
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.
RFK jr's cult beliefs in no way supersedes anyone's right to prevent death or disease in their self or their family. Full Stop.
The Russians are trying to kill the leader of the EU. Right now wake the fuck up people.

Solar power is the cheapest electricity in history and in 2024 delivered 2/3rds of new capacity and 40% of new global generation. Yet myths, often politically motivated, are holding back its progress. @carbonbrief.org debunks 16 of of the biggest ☀️ myths👇 interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...

OPINION: "The disproportionate suffering in Black communities wasn’t a natural disaster but a predictable result of policies concentrating risk in marginalized neighborhoods," Garcia, David and Peacock write.
The government is lying to it can dump 76 Guatemalan kids.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
I hope the people who are on VISAs from India realize, they are now on Miller's list for deportation.
Right-wing billionaires who own the media are enabling the Trump regime’s authoritarian takeover. This is why it is so critical to support independent journalism right now. Traditional media is no longer a trustworthy source of information for the public to stay informed and fight against fascism.

Hey, Newsweek, did you read the news today about Xi, Putin and Modi meeting?
Just months after failed judicial candidate Jefferson Griffin tried to disenfranchise over 65,000 voters in the state supreme court election, the GOP-led North Carolina election board is now threatening to discount voters who don’t present additional ID.
Below the radar, the second Trump administration has taken extraordinary steps to expand the rights of gun owners and manufacturers. He doesn't care about crime, nor does he care about kids. Trump 2.0 shows every sign of doing anything the NRA wants. trib.al/JOEX4xp
"India, long courted by the West as a...counterweight to China, has been rattled by Trump’s tariffs; the Kremlin has publicly brushed aside Washington's peace push in Ukraine; and Beijing continues to spar with the U.S. over trade, Taiwan and global influence." www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/p...

Democrats have twice attempted to bring forth articles of impeachment against Trump in 2025 (Shri Thanedar and Al Green). It went nowhere and it will go nowhere in the MAGA GOP-controlled House. I share your anger, but until the GOP is voted out or comes to its senses, impeachment is off the table.
Voting-rights advocates have sued to overturn a redistricting map drawn by Texas Republicans meant to favor the party in the 2026 midterm elections, saying it weakens the electoral influence of Black voters.

Donald Trump attempted what appeared to be a defense of embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr on Monday morning by making demands of drug companies to turn over information that the president claims he has already seen.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed Sunday that the Trump administration plans to expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in major cities, including Chicago.
The question is, why does he need this information?
The Trump administration has stepped up efforts to obtain personal information about tens of millions of voters across the country, including seeking sensitive data such as partial Social Security numbers.
Unions are popular but facing decades of decline. We asked photographers to document this unique moment for the American worker. From 2024:
A spokesperson for the top European Union official says authorities suspect "blatant interference by Russia" jammed GPS signals as her plane arrived.
Unconstitutional. He can't.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org
Yes. Everyone should be panicking right now!
The credibility of the central bank is one of the underpinnings of America’s world-beating economy. Should markets panic?
Insanity!
From layoffs to billion-dollar budget cuts and ideological battles over history itself, the National Park Service is facing one of the most turbulent moments in its 109-year history. This week on @revealnews.org:
A new research paper examines the history of BYU's police force, including overlap with religious enforcement of the Honor Code and "gay purges" on campus.
Evil man. Evil agenda. Evil administration.

Scientists know that extreme weather events are becoming more severe, Austyn Gaffney reports. But the Trump administration’s actions are holding them back from predicting how bad floods could get:

It’s not just Trump; it’s the entire administration of elected and appointed Republicans. It’s so SO obvious.
'Will be explosive': Lawmaker teases big bipartisan presser featuring 10 Epstein victims
How Trump's humiliation of Indian PM pushed Modi into arms of Putin and Xi
Congress ran from the Epstein issue by leaving D.C. early. Guess what they’ll be arriving back to? 02 SEP be in DC and join us as we visit Congressional offices. Are you an American Patriot? Then get your ass to DC and stand alongside us as we fight for truth and justice.
The plan is completely illegal; it’s openly in violation of black letter law. Nevertheless, the Trump admin is trying to claim that the budget bill effectively amended the law; even though it was a budget bill, and cannot by definition amend the law.

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
FEMA whistleblowers warned: these cuts risk another Katrina-level disaster. Trump and his cronies didn’t fix the agency; instead, they punished the truth-tellers. Sign your support for the brave #FEMA employees who spoke out here 👉zurl.co/PgbMz zurl.co/VMgM8 #standupforscience
More MAGA lies. They never stop coming out of her overly plumped mouth.

“I would appreciate you taking your father’s U.S. Constitution book, read it, study it, make your own lines underneath it, and get Trump out of office. The man is a dictator.” — a longtime Missouri resident who said he's at risk of losing his family farm. trib.al/hPOlu0F
Tech billionaires know that climate change is real, income inequality is horrific, and war is worsening. They want to accelerate it—to bring us to the brink of collapse—in hopes of ruling the ashes. Their ignorance is blinding. They think we’ll turn on each other. The truth: we’ll turn on them.
What if blue states hired the former vaccine approvers that have quit the CDC and form a new board for blue states to follow their advice. And what if blue states made a law that said insurance companies in their states had to cover the vaccines they approve. This is how you shadow government.
Dems don't have the numbers to bring articles of impeachment, plus MAGA Mike Johnson will never hold a vote.
“Algorithms isolate us and deprive us of information that is useful for our collective life. The techlords and their ideology are mortal enemies of humanity and will stop at nothing to impose their dystopias…. trying to prevent us from stopping the collapse of all human civilisations.”
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
Thank God there are still humane judges in the States.
"But we need to go the next step and show the actual pictures for this truth about the horror of gun violence to become widely known. Doing this will take leadership." By Thom Hartmann This is an awful thing, but it is a necessary thing. #Pinks MUST READ! www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...
Yes, this would be horrific, but yes, Americans need to SEE the truth of gun violence.
As with so many things related to the Trump administration, a great deal can be gleaned from what they don’t want to discuss.

Ports across the country were planning to become economic hubs for the growing offshore wind industry. The Trump administration is cancelling grants to build the infrastructure for it.
This is what happens when you evil people in charge.
I'm going to be on with @velshi.com at 11 to talk about my article on the small acts of noncompliance that we can take against our dispicable government. I guess Summer is over. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
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."
So awkward to be living through a dystopian novel about techno-fascist billionaires who have banded together with white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and international dictators in an attempt to overthrow democracy and commit genocide, all to establish tech-enabled fiefdoms in their wake.

STAND UP and STAND STRONG! Nothing is more important!
@nicollewallace.bsky.social @maddowblog.msnbc.com Exactly this.
So SiCK of GOP MAGA lies! Wake up, America, why are you still asleep?
#RepublicanRegime Care only about themselves
Stand strong, Mr. Mayor!
Amen
Yeah - beyond mediocre posts out on Blue sky, what are you doing about it? You're a US senator! What do you expect from us? Lay out a plan! Dems clearly need a strategy, and just as clearly you can't come up with one -- which makes me wonder, are you're complicit?
When will the US military, round up the foreign assets in the current American administration and put them on trial? It is so obvious that foreign powers have infiltrated the US government at the highest level. There is no other explanation for what is happening to take down America from within.
All you need to know about the GOP is to take what they say and look for the exact opposite. Then you'll know what they're up to. Wake up, America!
If you believe, Donald Trump and RFK Jr., you have relinquished all legitimacy as an intelligent human being.
Trump is delusional. People who follow Trump are delusional. Facts don't matter anymore.
Civil war is coming.
The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism.
If only....
Since f****** when is secretary Kennedy one of the foremost experts on health? Are you f****** insane?
