It turns out that the "Kennedy Curse" was not to have so many die, but to have the stupidest survive.
The democratic governors of Oregon, Washington and California are forming a new public health partnership aimed at preserving access to vaccines.
RFK Jr. will face "hard questions" over CDC shakeup, according to Thune. The Senate majority leader expressed frustration over the firings of recently confirmed officials.

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
🔥 Epstein survivors are done waiting. Abuse victim Lisa Phillips announced today that they will create their own list of predators and enablers — names “everyone knows” but no one has exposed. Survivors say Congress must choose: protect predators, or protect victims. ⚖️
Anyone who says: “well RFK has some good ideas,“ should be written off as crazy. Sure, there’s lots of people that have talked about reforming the food system and making sure kids get a more balanced diet, but they’re also not conspiracy theorists and liars. Do not promote the wrong people.
Duh, Der, duh, the Gulf of water?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
to borrow from @hurricanexyz.bsky.social, a bunch of people tasked with covering american politics seem to hold this implicit view that executive authority is unlimited except for those limits placed by the constitution
These women need to be celebrated for their bravery and protected at all costs.
Massie: I'm calling on my colleagues: be one of the next two who sponsors this discharge petition. I think it's shameful that this has been called a hoax. Hopefully today we can clear that up. This is not a hoax. This is real. There are real survivors.
Solar is no longer “alternative energy.” It is the energy of the future. America risks remaining a petro-state, clinging to the past, instead of becoming an electro-state, embracing the future.
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
Another great video by Robert Reich! youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0
Trump vs. the law Use of the Alien Enemies Act to force deportations - illegal Military invasions of American cities - illegal Detentions without due process - illegal Declaring fake national emergencies to bypass Congress - illegal When you elect a criminal, you get a criminal presidency.
So the US military is now at war with a vaguely defined enemy (drug cartels) across a vast area (the Caribbean) with no specific goal (“winning” and “defeating them”) and accusing a regional government (Venezuela) of sponsoring that vague enemy without showing proof? Sounds pretty forever warish.
Weird flex, guys.
School shootings are only a "Fact of Life" in the only country in the world too stupid to do anything to stop them.
It’s not just the president getting rich on crypto. His heirs are now making more money in months than Donald Trump did from decades in real estate.
to this point, i can definitely trace my ancestry in this country to at least the very early 19th century.
Kinda hard to avoid the feeling that the military flyovers taking place over D.C. right now are intentional as ordered to interfere with the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Survivors have paused their remarks until the flyovers pass.
A teen is dead because ChatGPT encouraged him to conceal his pain and coached him on how to take his life – a feature, not a bug. @sachalouise.bsky.social for @msnbc.com says, chatbots “are designed to produce engagement and keep kids hooked — even when they need off-ramps for real-world help."
"For so many years, it felt like Epstein's criminal behavior was an open secret." “We’re not going away. We’re not staying quiet. We’re not going to give up.” Annie Farmer (Epstein survivor)
Didn't realize this and embarrassed we didn't connect the dots when the FEC report came out. Schwarzman has a history with Susan Collins: He spent another $2,000,000+ to elect her during the 2020 cycle. Also hosted her at his Park Ave apartment. tinyurl.com/4zhj7fxp tinyurl.com/yswjrnz2 #MEpolitics

BREAKING: We secured a court order requiring the State Dept to preserve & account for Signal messages of senior national security officials, including Sec. Marco Rubio. This is an important step to force accountability for an admin that’s shown alarming disregard for transparency required by law.
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
What. The. Actual. Fuck. I now live in Gilead. I no longer want to live here. I just can't afford to move. I've stuck it out as long as I could. Utter b.s.
Jeffrey Epstein survivors say they haven't had any contact with the DOJ
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie filed a discharge petition today to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Working with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, Massie now needs to persuade 216 additional House members to sign it.
Project 2025 is a terrorist organization. Their goal is to destroy the United States of America. They and all their enablers should be dealt with accordingly. The best time to do it was ten years ago, the next best time is TODAY! #GOP #SCOTUS #Congress #POTUS #USA #America @romanpiso.bsky.social
Probably not a great month to go out fishing in the Gulf now. The US military might be your judge, jury and executioner.
While Americans are struggling with higher prices, the President is focused on enriching himself and his family. You look at this and have to ask yourself – is there any level of corruption so egregious that Republicans would call it out? Evidently not.
I say if Trump is successful in his bullying attempts and Congress doesn’t release the full report the victims should go to Hollywood and make a full on expose film. Tell everything about everyone! #ReleaseTheFullEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheFullEpsteinFiles www.nationalmemo.com/gop-epstein
Wow — check out the INCREDIBLY MASSIVE crowd at this morning’s Massie/Khanna press conference with the victims of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein!! 👀
among other weird things (the sheer # of no true bills from dc grand juries, plus the fact that judges are ordering prosecutors to disclose those refusals to defendants, which I'd never heard of before) ... I have never seen a prosecutor attack a grand jury like this www.cbsnews.com/news/d-c-gra...
I’ve called both the DC and district offices of my Long Island congressman Nick LaLota, but he REFUSES to commit to signing the discharge petition that would force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Who is LaLota protecting??? 🤨 #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
I continue to support a STOCK TRADING BAN because members of Congress should represent their constituents, not their own financial self-interests.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?

For a regime that boasts about putting "Workers First," they seem more focused on busting unions & stripping workers of their protections than they do about strengthening the pay or benefits for our workforce.
I would suggest magnets, but I hear China has them all.

The House just released the first tranche of documents in its Epstein investigation. But the materials likely won't satisfy those clamoring for more info about the case. Most of what was released in the first batch of files is already publicly available.
The rate of children committed to Missouri’s Division of Youth Services (youth detention centers) climbs from 366 children committed in 2021 to 577 committed in 2024, a 37% increase. Imagine if Governor Kehoe and his GOP lackeys would call a special session over this crisis. #MoLeg
So they re-released the same garbage they handed the GOP binder crew back in February? Color me shocked. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m with Massie: release the rest of the Epstein files — not this cherry-picked nonsense.
This classic never goes out of style.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
😂😂😂 Zohran has the best comeback.
😂😂😂 Seriously though, granddad sometimes didn't give grandma a choice. 😬
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
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.
The first step on forcing a vote on releasing the Epstein files was made today by Thomas Massie who filed a Discharge Petition. CNN 👠
Wonder what moving Space Command will cost and how much $ will be stolen in the transfer? One thing is for sure, it won't help those struggling in Alabama with healthcare issues, school lunches, poverty, racism.
Dude, I'm so mad that Big Brother production doesn't tell them to turn off the water when brushing ones teeth or not to take 45min showers. Like FFS, if you live in Cali, YOU CONSERVE WATER! if you are not an asshole at least. #BB27
Charles Munger is spending at least $30 million in defense of "fair and free elections" which raises the obvious question: where was he when the Supreme Court decided to end restrictions on partisan gerrymandering, or when states like TX, OH, and FL gerrymandered their voting maps back in 2021? 🤔

Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
We were having drinks with a friend of a friend last month and she brought up the birth rate issue as a concern about shifts in the aging curve, and when I told her the answer was immigration it made perfect sense to her. We can just import people to do work!
Complaining and victimhood, is all they have.
shouldn’t the people still on big twitter be happy that the people they hate are all over here on tiny blue sky instead what are they complaining about

RFK Jr’s gobbledygook is probably confusing for a lot of people. He talks about kids who have been vaccinated having less brightness in their eyes or having “mitochondrial challenges.” What he ignores is their greater likelihood of survival, as evidenced by any modern cemetery.
A political novice's campaign to unseat Sen. Susan Collins is off to a strong start Graham Platner, an oyster farmer and combat veteran, represents a new pugilistic approach to Democratic politics.
We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
Remember this tomorrow.
No one wants to have to fight for their family when they're just a teenager. But when that was what I felt had to do – I did it. That's what Iowans want. A fighter, not a follower.
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
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?
"In 2022, Chipotle agreed to a $20 million settlement with NYC over 599,693 violations, more than any company has paid in a worker protection settlement in city history. In 2024, the company appeared on on the NYC Comptroller’s 'Employer Wall of Shame.'" www.businessinsider.com/chipotle-dre...

If only Trump’s crew had guarded the Capitol on January 6 like they’re guarding Epstein’s files.
Did he invade Chicago, did he sink a Venezuelan battleship, did he put a target on us cause cause he wasn’t invited to the military parade, are we all fck’d so hard I now carry condoms in my pocket? *nods head yes, sprinkles Xanax on 1/2 gallon of cookie dough ice cream

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Why would someone in this administration sign off on Ghislaine Maxwell being moved to a minimum-security prison?
