So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
Pass it on...
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.
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
WOW. This is one of the original Alien Enemies Act cases going back to March. The conservative 5th Circuit has ruled Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to disappear people to El Salvador was UNLAWFUL.
Woah THIS. Feel free to share.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Not only will Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie be at tomorrow’s press conference with the Epstein survivors — but Marjorie Taylor Greene will be there as well.
THIS.
Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.

It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:
It hasn't been a great last week of the August recess for Republican members of Congress. At town hall events across the country, attendees booed, laughed, jeered, and demanded answers as their GOP representatives tried to defend President Trump's agenda.
The selective prosecution of Trump’s political opponents could lead to a “dysfunctional cycle of revenge,” Conor Friedersdorf argues.
Surviving Jeffery Epstein: This week we hear from Jess Michaels, a survivor of Epstein's abuse, who exposes both the monster himself and the wider system that affected so many. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFqeOt_rNFM
THIS. It's always been about the victims/survivors.
Reps. Ro Khanna (CA) and Thomas Massey (KY), have announced they will have a press conference on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern at the U.S. Capitol. They plan to have victims who have never spoken publicly before about Jeffrey Epstein. It should be explosive!

Your reminders: Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering. Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch. This is just another Trump family scam.

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:

Advocates for immigrants and low-wage workers said the companies owe it to their drivers to speak out.
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Thank you on this labor day!!
In Ghislaine Maxwell’s Justice Department interview, she comes off as pathetic, loathsome, and utterly lacking in remorse. The entire operation was damage control—an attempt to exculpate President Trump from his own involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

Where is Trump's hair?
Where's his hair? He looks like he's on death's door. He needs to address the media.

Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.

It wasn’t until 1938—more than a half century after the Haymarket Riot and the national strikes for eight-hour workdays—when Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act, which limited the workweek to 44 hours, and then amended the law two years later to 40 hours.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
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.
For every one Nat Turner in U.S. history, there are a hundred Tulsa massacres and more than a thousand massacres of indigenous tribes. The formerly enslaved, even after being armed to fight the confederate traitors, did not go on rampages to mass murder and burn down white communities.
Sorry, but the scariest places in America aren’t Black neighborhoods, it’s towns like Vidor, where historically, Blacks (and Asians, Jews & Italians) could be lynched w/o consequences. There’s literally no equivalent the other way. Thank God these young men weren’t harmed. youtu.be/Px_P0bRkbfU?...
Trump's dictator moves like calling in the national guard or ballooning the ice budget are designed to enrage you, but also to desensitize you to his authoritarian behavior. As Rick Wilson says, we can't let that happen:
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

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:
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
So I imagine that folks who insisted it wasn’t ethnic cleansing, land theft, forced removal are lined up to apologize for insisting that this was just about defeating Hamas fighters and the return of the hostages.
I’m serious. This REALLY infuriates me. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @cnn.com Do your job. You failed to lift this up in 2024. If farmers are hurting, explain why and who is to blame. And remind Americans that we paid BILLIONS for Trump’s first tariff blunder. It’s so irresponsible to ignore this.

Donald Trump incited a violent coup to overthrow the 2020 election and hold onto power. It will never be ok that he was not held accountable, including banning him from ever again holding public office.

Reminder that RFK Jr is not a doctor. He is not a scientist. He has zero scientific literacy. He is not qualified to make any assertions about vaccines, disease, pediatrics, hospital parking... NOTHING. He is a fraud.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
Republicans had a chance to protect public health. Instead they chose to put a dishonest quack in charge of it. They own the nightmares to come.
