I swear, I've never seen just about *everything* as screwed up in this country as it is right now. Virtually all because of one severely damaged man.

Of course they're going to focus on this rather than Daskalakis' expertise vs. Kennedy's utter incompetence and anti-science agenda #CDC #HHS #RFKJr thehill.com/policy/healt...

Breaking: Peaceful activists, many with disabilities, are being arrested at the Capitol right now. These individuals are putting themselves on the line to do all they can to save healthcare for millions of Americans.
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
For Susan Collins, $2 million matters more than keeping millions of Americans insured through Medicaid and fed through SNAP. This is pay-to-play corruption in full effect.
Florida is a center of international tourism and has one of the top 3 populations of retirees. Ending childhood vaccine requirements for school entry there is so dangerous I don’t even know where to start. Ground zero for massive unchecked outbreaks of vaccine preventable disease.
Trump is a corrupt mf'ing liar and a coward. #ReleaseTheFiles
Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.
Donald Trump is so afraid of Zohran Mamdani that he’s thinking of offering jobs to Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa in order to clear a path for his preferred candidate Andrew Cuomo. So NYC voters have two options: Cast a vote for Zohran…or cast a vote for Trump (Cuomo). www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/n...

So the pathological liar was called out re: Epstein is a hoax. All he does is lie. Media start calling him out too.

A group of more than 1,000 current and former Department of Health and Human Services employees released a letter on Sept. 3 demanding Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s resignation. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
For more than a decade, Andrew Cuomo pretended he had nothing to do with deteriorating subways and endless delays — even as he siphoned off funding from the MTA he controlled.
There's a lot of rich, powerful people who are freaking out right now.

Yes Chris! Look at the crowd of supporters for the SURVIVORS #EPSTEINFILES WE STAND WITH THE SURVIVORS
These responses to questions are incredible. Strength in numbers - I really think it's becoming inevitable that the truth will be revealed, and it's going to (belatedly!) bring down a lot of powerful people. #Survivors #EpsteinFiles
Absolutely. No way it's coincidental.
This is so hard to watch. These are incredibly brave women. #Survivors #Epstein
I never thought I'd find myself agreeing so strongly with the words of Marjorie Taylor Greene. but here we are #EpsteinVictims #EpsteinFiles
I’m very uncomfortable with people of privilege demanding PEACE in the face of state-sponsored invasions of cities by our own military. Yes, I know the stats on nonviolent revolutions. And yet I find it galling when white folks demand folks being subjected to violence respond with nonviolence.
Not going to stop thinking about the comment that Trump is sending Confederate armies to occupy Northern cities. How much more is there to say? That’s not a “distraction.” It’s what the white supremacists who tried to secede have wanted for over a century. It’s not a distraction to them at all.
No. American citizens must get due process in their own country. But US citizens engaging in terrorism from overseas? They're on their own, as Obama's strike on Anwar al-Awlaki made clear
See through it.
"Extralegal" describes a disturbing amount of Administration policy
"And after all I've done for him!"
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Yep

If 2pm presser is about Venezuela, my prebunk/theory: Trump's military provocations on Venezuela are a way to create a factual basis to sustain his Alien Enemies Act deportations. And, he may try to use it to expand his original executive order to all Venezuelans, not just TdA

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

Seriously.

Ok. 🤣

Here's the response from Paul Bryant, the Black veteran and lawyer whom the govt arrested in part bc he had a legal weapon in DC, to USG attempt to get him detained. It leans heavily into the lack of Body Cam proving he shoulder checked some Guardsmen. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Now THIS is interesting. Especially that last bit about Melania making an unscheduled visit to “tour” Walter Reed….
Hours after trying to assassinate the EU Commission president, Russia tried to assassinate Germany’s military's inspector general, Carsten Breue, the highest-ranking general in the Bundeswehr. His plane was also jammed once over the Baltic Sea and once over Lithuania.

You're right. In my advocacy work, I encounter elected officials who don't know that almost all major hospitals in CT have suspended GAC for youth, the stripping of benefits of federal employees, the discharge of all trans service people, etc. But they all know the gender identity of a mass shooter.
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."
Leaked ‘Gaza Riviera’ plan dismissed as ‘insane’ attempt to cover ethnic cleansing
Although it's unsurprising, considering Israel's been openly defying international law and multiple U.N. resolutions regarding Palestine for decades, with zero repercussions from the U.S. #Palestine
Wtf is there to debate about bombing and starving tens of thousands of civilians? Actions which most of the world recognizes as war crimes and has triggered the ICC to issue a warrant for Netanyahu's arrest? Seriously Dems, get your shit together #DNC #Gaza www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...

RFK Jr must be fired. He’s too deranged and full of himself to leave voluntarily. So it’s vital to convince Trump that keeping Kennedy around drains his own political power and thus his personal wealth by so visibly endangering the health of everyone in the U.S. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Although we're all more or less aware of Trump's massive stupidity, to have all of his ill-informed actions, claims, and actions laid out in a single essay makes for quite the read. How this guy convinced enough people to vote him into the Oval Office - twice! - is beyond me. #Trump
You ever see somebody so old and sick they don’t walk in...they creak in? Breathing like Darth Vader with bronchitis. Let’s be honest…there’s no way this guy makes it another year. A stiff breeze in March might finish the job. He's a very ill man.
Extraordinary thread about an extraordinary hearing, prompted by the Trump DHS trying to sneak hundreds of unaccompanied children out of the country to Guatemala on a holiday weekend. The government’s lawyer is sure it’s all legal, but needs 5 days to explain how. By @annabower.bsky.social
'“I have the government attempting to remove minor children from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend, which is surprising,” [U.S. District Court for D.C. Judge Sooknanan] said.' Counterpoint: Completely unsurprising #Immigration www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

I'm reading John Fugelsang's remarkable new book, Separation of Church and Hate, and came across this passage (pic below). Can I suggest substituting "Trump" for "Rome" and keep the ... well ... faith that America has better days ahead. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
So federal agents are suppressing this massive crime wave in DC. By busting people smoking weed, jaywalking, committing traffic violations, writing on sidewalks. 🙄
