Dr. Daskalakis resigned after the firing with a letter. In it he said he'd never experienced an agenda geared toward a political rather than health end. As chaos grips the CDC and its leadership, senator calls for RFK Jr.’s resignation share.google/GkATlZolqcxJ...
“A dangerous crank — what on Earth are you on about??!” @chrislhayes.bsky.social goes in on RFK Jr. for claiming he can diagnose kids just by looking at them.
@jessicatarlov.bsky.social: "You know that if a Democratic president was doing any of these things, you would be outraged."
These MAGA fox news hosts threw a tantrum the other day because Gov. Newsom was trolling Trump by imitating his online posts. Wow. He would definitely loose his mind.
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”
Abby just cooked Scott on live TV @cnn for making a joke about health concerns doctors are having about the recent firings at the CDC.
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
The irony is that most countries would give Kilmar Abrego Garcia asylum from persecution *in* the United States. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
How do you do a bookmark on Bluesky. I want to save this freaking video so I can repost it whenever I need too.
Meiselas: I go through Trump’s messages he sends—like this one from this morning: "Do you want a DOGE check? Tell me here." The email says, "Should bonus revenue from tariffs go back to the American people via a check signed by Trump?" In addition to being fraud, they got their frauds confused.
Bonus revenue from Tariffs??? 😲 What on earth is Trump babbling about?? 😳🙄
Nobel Laureate economist @pkrugman.bsky.social: Trump’s attempt to fire Fed Governor sends the chilling message “I will ruin you”
And I thought the Republicans always marketed themselves as the party of law and order.
I don't understand why Latinos even entertain the thought of voting for Trunp. I just don't understand why.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...
"She is a liar. She cannot be trusted." Top House Oversight Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia joins @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social and shares why he thinks people should "believe nothing" from the newly released DOJ transcripts of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with Todd Blanche.
"If you gave this transcript to @davearonberg.bsky.social and me, and if it's the way it sounds ... you give us 20 minutes with that transcript, we'd come up with a hundred questions that should have been asked."
MAXWELL: “Mr. Trump never did anything—" BLANCHE: “Call him ‘the president.’ That will protect you from perjury for things he did before he was in office.” MAXWELL: “OK. The president was a gentleman—” BLANCHE: “Dial it back. No one is going to believe Donald Trump ever acted like a gentleman.”
Now you know why she was mysteriously moved to a new fancy low security prison after her interview with Trump's "Let's make a deal" personal lawyer, Todd Blanche who happens to be the Deputy AG of the DOJ, . This is just shameful !!!!.
No lies detected in that discussion.
Twice impeached, 32 counts convicted felon who's and adjudicated råpíst who also incited a coup on the capital in an attempt to over turn an election that also hung out with sex trafficking felons supported by the GOP that threw a tantrum because President Obama for wore a tanned suit.
The thirsty stupidity of this ridiculous narcissist is exhausting.
Twice impeached, 32 counts convicted felon who's and adjudicated råpíst proven by the courts who also incited a coup on the capital in an attempt to over turn an election that also hung out with sex trafficking felons supported by the GOP that nearly investigated Obama for wearing a tanned suit.
She purgerd herself on more than one occasion while on trial for her crimes. abcnews.go.com/Politics/ghi...
Remember when the GOP and the Tea Party (now MAGA) lost their minds and threw a tantrum on national TV because President Obama wore a tanned suit to a press conference???
It's not hard but a lot of people seem to have a problem realizing this.
#GavinNewsom 🤩👏👏
🚨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
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on fascism in 🇺🇸 : “There is not safety in keeping your head down… People who oppose public policy decisions but are too afraid of retribution from their government to speak their mind should send a chill down all of our spines.”
He makes a good point!
It's called the Emolument Clause: prohibits US officials from accepting any "present, Emolument, Office, or Title" from a foreign state without congressional consent.
Any critique of Trump, the MAGA base comment about the libs can't define what a woman is to explain their defense of Trump. But the orange lad they look up too was proven in a court of law to be convicted felon (on 32 counts of fraud) and an adjudicated råpíst and MAGA don't bat an eye at that.
Even Fox suspects Ghislaine Maxwell, who is seeking a pardon, may not be entirely credible: “That last little tidbit where she said she never saw any bad behavior from any of these men…” 🤔
@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker and a liar. She cannot be trusted... Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's personal lawyer before he became deputy AG. His arranging of this deposition, his then moving her to a less secure facility, we're not going to be tricked by this."
It's called a cult.
If MAGA can't figure out that basic trial of breadcrumb, then no one can help them..
I mean this isn’t hard to understand, even for a maga. The last time Dump was in office Epstein died in his cell, maybe suicide maybe not. Now Maxwell is in prison and wants to get out, of course. She has a talk with his personal attorney and then suddenly is transferred to Club Fed. Helllooooo
Complicit. Children. Victims.
Ingraham: Their take is of course she was going to say this because she wants a pardon, she wanted better digs, and she got transferred, and you say? *Camera cuts out*
Now you know why she was mysteriously moved to a new fancy low security prison after her interview with Trump's personal lawyer who happens to be the Deputy AG of the DOJ, T. BIanche. Let's make a deal. This is just shameful.
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego has been RELEASED from prison and is headed home to Maryland to be with his family. Judge Xinis has an order in place requiring a 72 hour notice if ICE decides to detain and deport him to a third country. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Conway: Are hey withholding documents that might refer to him or things that are embarrassing to him and producing documents that refer to other people in order to distract and I wouldn't put it past them that they would do that.
If only John Bolton had had the Epstein Files, his house never would have been raided.
Now you know why she was mysteriously moved to a new fancy low security prison after her interview with Blanche. Let's make a deal.

Mockler: “They oppose it by 79%, and 61% say they feel less safe. So why aren’t we sending the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states with the highest homicide rates?”
It's another distraction because he's got to produce something from the Epstein files tomorrow, and people are demanding a subpoena for Alex Acosta. Fox is playing along.
The FBI didn’t need a raid to get Bolton; they could’ve sent a subpoena. But they love the circus. The timing isn’t an accident. It’s meant to bury two headlines: Epstein files dropping and Trump’s horrific economy crushing Americans. This isn’t justice. It’s distraction theater. And we see it. 👀
My surprise look realizing that this whole raid is performative.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) accused President Donald Trump of "weaponizing" the Department of Justice against his enemies as a distraction from his own scandal.
Sounds about right. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Fox B-team host Cheryl Casone argues the California gerrymander is bad while the Texas one is fine because Texas Republicans "did it through the legislature. Not trying to use the courts." (California voters will get to weigh in directly on the new proposed maps.)
MAGA LOGIC: it's ok when we do it. Someone else does it, then it's bad.
😂😂
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in Jackson Hole: “Risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment are tilted to the downside. A challenging situation.” Donald Trump isn’t gonna like this. 🍿
Art of the deal.
This is hilarious 😂.
🤣🤣🤣
BREAKING: The California Assembly has passed a bill to put Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan on the November 4 ballot.
I love the new Cracker Barrel logo! 🧡 #EpsteinFiles

Smh 🙄
You only try changing the rules if you think you're losing — and that's exactly what Texas Republicans are attempting to do. We want to give Californians the power this November to counter redistricting power grabs and stand for independently drawn maps in every state.

“It’s only gonna get worse if we don’t do something to stop it… it scares the crap out of me…” - Bolton neighbor in a “Trump is a national disgrace” t-shirt
Not surprised at all..!!
Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."
Seems relevant
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi just hinted that the FBI raid at Bolton's house is a distraction from the DOJ having to comply with a subpoena concerning the Epstein files.
Trump: "Mayor Muriel Bowser must immediately stop giving false and highly inaccurate crime figures, or bad things will happen."
Ok, you have my attention
Yes MAGA, when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

Trump and Republicans are gutting the VA. Thousands of doctors and caregivers fired. 7 million Veterans left hanging. The people who served this country are now paying the price for his cruelty. #DefendVeteransBenefits
This is a circus.
Only one major cable news network is covering this @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social Another one is doing their usual segment of lies and another is covering the weather.
Ossoff: "What really troubles me is that a lot of these business leaders are so afraid of retaliation from their own government, they are so afraid of being put on a list in the White House and facing retribution or investigation that they're unwilling to speak out."
While MAGA Texas gerrymanders their way into mid term next year, @cnn-news.bsky.social is spending a lot of time covering the weather. Yo, CNN, you can chew gum and walk at the same time.
BREAKING: Texas House Republicans have voted to pass their gerrymandered congressional maps. This is how democracies collapse into autocracies. Texas Senate Dems should break quorum. And California, Illinois, and New York need to stop waiting & start fighting back ASAP.
I don't think people realize how absolutely SERIOUS this is...!!!! This is unhinged crazy.
🚨 A man in Middleton, NY, demonstrates how to protect our communities by example. 1/2
Fox paid $787M. Newsmax paid $67M. That’s $854M to protect Trump’s feelings. The Big Lie isn’t just false, it’s hella expensive. Oh yeah, where’s the Epstein files? apnews.com/article/domi...
The fact that they settled before the trial began speaks volumes. I can't understand after all Trump said and did, none of these people or entities can't figure out yet that anyone that gets onto the Trump Train with his lies has to pay for a very expensive seat.
So far, the Trump - Zelensky meeting was...Trump treading water. I think Putin gut-punched him and now he's at a loss about what to do next.
The level of self loathing delusions the orange guy walks around with, I don't think he can think that far ahead.
Trump: "In the six wars that I've settled, we haven't had a ceasefire."
The level and scope of delusions this guy has in his head is astounding.
