Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???

He didn’t know about the the CDC decision on COVID shots until the announcement, even though he led division on vaccination & respiratory disease He kept asking to see the justifying evidence, or hear from experts who supported the move RFK’s team kept saying no www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...

Happy Labor Day!
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
About the weird DOJ Trump/Epstein interview: “It was a damage-control operation… not so much investigating Epstein and Maxwell’s crimes as attempting to exculpate President Donald Trump….“
During a town hall Wednesday in Worth County, Iowans urged Hinson to “stop lying” after she claimed that the president’s key legislation had ushered in “higher wages” and an improved cost of living. “Higher wages?” shouted one woman incredulously. “For who? For you?” trib.al/KGFzxKS

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."
My latest, on Trump's military police, Stephen Miller's pseudo-posse, and a retired general's warning about state-on-state violence:
REP. BUDDY CARTER: What eroded confidence in the CDC was the covid vaccine BEDINGFIELD: Who was president in 2020?
Must-read @hcrichardson.bsky.social on Trump's "determination to kill off wind and solar power initiatives and to force the US to depend on fossil fuels." Result: America loses, over and over. He gets to set us back a century or two, kill jobs and raise...1/2 open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
What a ridiculous person.
We’ve been lied to our whole lives. The maps we grew up with shrink Africa down, making it look so much smaller than it really is. The truth: Africa is massive. You can fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside it—and still have room left over.
🚨The worst of the worst criminals are going after kids with backpacks and leaving their scooters in the road. 📌 WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA. We are running out of time. 🚨

Garcia: “We finally heard from the Epstein estate. They’ve agreed to provide the actual Epstein book, along with other documents that haven’t been made public yet.”
Don’t look away
“.. if, God forbid, there's a terrible tragedy, I can't think of better on-the-job training than what I've gotten over the last 200 days,” he added. @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
This is truly one of the best illustrations of what is happening in America.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
You all realize the president of the United States is declaring war on his own cities right? That he's sending occupation forces? If American citizens don’t like it send them to a immigration/concentration camps. When the military are police, the people become the enemy. Protest armed now.
Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
BREAKING: Tom Homan says ICE will send a "large contingent" to Chicago.
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...
The Marvelous Mrs. Measles, Cheryl Hines, must be so proud!
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Witkoff: "There's only one thing I wish for: that that Nobel committee finally gets its act together and realizes that you are the single finest candidate since that Nobel award was ever talked about."
In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe. Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
“Transparent”
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.” He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...
Yeah, IT’S everywhere because gay people exist everywhere. How did you Explain to your grandkids what a pimp is and what women are doing rubbing up on each other in YOUR videos hypocrite it’s simple gay people have kids with IVF or adoption. So disappointed nypost.com/2025/08/25/e...
Release the health records
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
So Woody Allen headlining Moscow Film festival this week, saying things like how he always loved Russian cinema. Wow I didn’t know his movie career was that bad he needed to turn to Russia of all places for scraps while they bomb my home country every day.
Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
Breaking: Kilmar Abrego García has just been detained by ICE after arriving at the agency's Baltimore field office as part of a required check-in, according to his attorney. "The only reason to take him into detention was to punish him."
My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA. I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe. What's going on right now is not normal.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

Remember how the Trump administration claimed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia had to be brought back to the United States to "face justice"? That it wasn't about the deportation case, they just HAD to prosecute him? They lied! The whole thing was a lie! And they don't care at all that you know that.
UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.

Absolutely brilliant 👇😀😀😀
"If the Trump administration rescinds the Endangerment Finding, the government would effectively be saying greenhouse gas emissions don’t harm human health. But they do." This administration is taking a torch to our environment and planet in order to enrich Big Oil. More from us 👇

That asshole is going to invade Venezuela. And yes, it’s a distraction from the Epstein files. And no, it doesn’t make any sense. He wants to take Venezuela’s oil. This will be a disaster for the United States.
Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
We are very far off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸
I urge all Californians to vote to redistrict our maps in response.

Here, fixed it.
Donald Trump's unhinged posts over the past 24 hours makes clear that he believes Republicans rule by right and those who engaged in election fraud on his behalf are martyrs. This is why the 14A bars anti-democratic insurrectionists from holding office and Trump should be on trial in Fulton County.
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
Imagine hosting a political talk show and 1) Not knowing what mifepristone is 2) Misrepresenting the story on mife/Costco (they never carried mife) 3) Not knowing how Costco pharmacies work? So many talented, educated people could use this platform, but instead, it’s Bill.
This is so disgusting and tacky. Everything about him is so disgusting and tacky. This is what people with zero class think class looks like.
The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics

Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?
Herwig Schopper has died (1924-2025). He was director of CERN, was key in starting the SESAME project, and has been involved in many other projects in physics and physics diplomacy.
Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.
