Trump, right now, thinking: “That’s the most beautiful head ferret I’ve ever seen.”
Geez, sincere thanks for that profound and unpleasant perspective.
All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.
Oh no. Fire some more people, quick.
Over a dozen survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell gathered at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, pushing for a full release of the Epstein files. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/there-i...
Florida's new no-street-art policy theoretically demands the removal of a checkered flag on a street in Daytona (home of the raceway) and one in Tampa that says “Back the Blue” (in honor of the police). We'll see if *those* ones get removed.
No one did more to make the Epstein scandal a central political issue than Donald Trump. But as soon as his minions opened them and confirmed — as AG Bondi did — that Trump’s name is in them, he did a 180 to insist it’s all irrelevant.
Republicans will try to rebrand and lie through their teeth about what's really in their big, ugly bill. No matter what they say, this is what their bill really does...
I read this and the relevant Reddit threads and whewwwww this stinks. Sounds like leaders extracted all the labor they could from these guys, and then threw them to the wolves.
2 Thessalonians 3:6-15. You know why they know it? Because that's what the slavers used to use to convince people that God wanted them to be slaves. They just remember it handed down from their great-grandpappies in a solid line of oral tradition.
![Warning Against Idleness 6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching[a] you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. 9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.” 11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies. 12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat. 13 And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good. 14 Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed. 15 Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k6orgxkypgzp3dmkzyu37qzk/bafkreigkg23cuqqva52viqhwl5jweuekh6r3j7fzphwc4c3de3i4of36qq@jpeg "Click to view full size")
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he will not consider a nominee to replace ousted Fed Gov. Lisa Cook until the legality of Trump’s move to fire her has been determined in court.
Also some version of martial law? Viciously put down the insurrection against our Constitution.
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.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Other declarations directly refute the Trump admin's claims that the children's parents requested their return to Guatemala. One dad in Guatemala says he got "a strange call" two weeks ago saying that his daughter was about to be deported — despite never having asked for that.
![Declaration of I, , pursuant to 28 U.S.C. s. 1746 declare as follows: 1. My name is [Redacted] Guatemala. I live in San Pedro Carcha, Alta Verapaz, 2. I am the father of my daughter, M. A. C. My wife A. Y. C. is M's mother 3. To my knowledge, M is currently living in New York. 4. M arrived in the United States in around January 2023 in pursuit of safety and a better life. 5. On or around August 15, 2025, my wife and I received a strange phone call. The person told us in Spanish that the U.S. government is going to soon deport Mas part a large group of Guatemalan children from the United States. The person asked us in Spanish whether we would be able to receive M told the person that M back. We was going to school in the United States and that she has an attorney there. We were very surprised to receive this call. 6. I was alarmed and extremely worried about my daughter after receiving this call. My wife and I told our daughter M about this call, and she became very worried and scared. We do not know why we received this call. We never asked for M to be sent back to Guatemala.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreigszr3kwibbapd6zegqkcbui2wbypjv2x5lxlgh4aoihigagqfukm@jpeg "Click to view full size")
I agree, probably not quite that vociferously LOL, but yeah, Senator is a bit of a stretch for first campaign.
Sure didn't look like there were a whole lotta drugs on that small boat .
As DeSantis’ administration in Florida targets *all* of the state’s vaccine mandates, remember: If Lapado & Co succeed, Floridians would start exporting contagions and serious ailments to other Americans — and in all likelihood, even to other countries. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
I'll take "Disingenuous Use of Buzzwords" for $100 Alex....
Tax the churches. If the churches want 1st Amendment free speech rights like regular people then they shouldn't be allowed special tax exemptions. Speak freely, but taxed equally. Same for corporations.
Governor Newsom @governor.ca.gov, Governor Kotek, and I launched a new West Coast Health Alliance today to ensure residents remain protected by science, not politics. The Trump Administration has undermined the independence of the CDC and dismantled its vaccine panel.
Maybe Platner for governor then Senator as next step?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
America’s slide from divided government to today’s kind of president-decides-all government was not ordained by the Constitution; the founders didn’t slip it in purposefully or accidentally. It was an invention, mostly of political design.
Is there a GoFundMe for the tow truck driver's defense? I'd like to contribute.
Florida's quack surgeon general, who was fired from his last job at UCLA, announces that Florida will end vaccine requirements to attend school, making it the first state to do so. The state’s surgeon general said every vaccine mandate “drips with disdain and slavery.”
Being pro-climate also means being pro-union! That’s why it’s fantastic to hear that over 95% of the staff at Yosemite NP and Sequoia & Kings Canyon NP recently voted to unionize in spite of the Trump administration’s efforts to get rid of union rights for federal workers.
Epstein abuse survivor says Epstein's "biggest brag" was his connection to Donald Trump.
Years ago I vowed to never step foot in Florida. Even then I didn't know how wise that would be.
Anyone surprised?
Where’s Dan Bongino?
Evidencd that the Jeffrey Epstein scandal remains a potent political threat to the Trump admin: Fox News has largely ignored this morning's dramatic Capitol Hill press conference by Epstein survivors. Fox has only covered it briefly while CNN and MSNBC have carried it all live.
Every single Democrat in Congress is voting to release the Epstein files. Only four Republicans right now are standing with them. We just need two Republicans to grow a backbone and get justice for the survivors.
This use and abuse by the military should be thoroughly investigated by the Dems next Congress. Who gave these orders? Subpoena the pilots then work up through the chain of command.
I guess this is what happens when the US prosecutor has no credibility.
Davies: And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an eight by ten framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.
also keep in mind that most of what Tom Homan knows about Chicago is from his Proud Boys friend Terry Newsome, who claims to have taken government officials on "Venezuelan gang member hunting trips." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

Let them all burn whoever they are. Accountability time.
Let it out!!!
Jeffrey Epstein's victims have proposed compiling their own list of the late sex offender's associates and alleged co-conspirators.
Q: What is your message to President Trump? EPSTEIN SURVIVOR: I don't want to send a direct message to him. I'm already scared enough.
Amen.
BROKEN NEWS: the newspaper whose slogan was previously “democracy dies in darkness” releases this BS without letting US know republicans released previously released Epstein info.
If the Texas National guard is in Illinois @govpritzker.illinois.gov should either send Illinois National guard to invade Texas or surround guard in Illinois
Then Pritzker should deploy the IL guard to close all the roads around the base.
The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.
What a coincidence.
The coverup continues. politi.co/45LVjlF
There is only one reason Space Command is being moved from Colorado to Alabama: Donald Trump is a petty tyrant who doesn't care about Americans who didn't vote for him.
110%. We need to find our 21st century Sherman.
It does bear repeating that if Obama had, say, sent the Illinois National Guard to Texas, Republicans would have had a massive meltdown.
Good: Pritzker calling BS, unambiguously and forcefully, on Trump’s planned invasion of Chicago, correctly identifying it as blatant rights violations based on a pretext. Bad: How much it stands out to see a leading politician do that, rather than go along with the BS, treating the pretext as real.
My president
NOW: Big protest going on outside the White House. Protestors are demanding release of Epstein files and the end of the National Guard deployment in D.C. This is some visual. (📸 Status Coup News)
For those of you who've had trouble facing reality these past couple months: We're already in a 2nd Civil War, only this time with the Confederacy in the White House.
Every Illinois-based company should be pressured to immediately shut down their operations in Texas. Fuck that soulless ghoul Greg Abbott, fuck him for sending Texans with guns to our state. This is a hostile act.
Looks like he struggled to get his face covered with orange grease today. Maybe he ran out?
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
Trump's DOJ charged anyone with threatening Democrats yet? How about charging someone for actually killing them? (Minnesota)
A gathering of world leaders in Beijing doesn’t yet amount to a new global order, but it does show the damage Donald Trump is doing to American interests econ.st/3JHP75p Photo: Reuters
Apologies! You have reached the end of your free trial period of America
Why won’t Speaker Mike Johnson release the Epstein files?
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
We need to stop thinking of the Constitution as a sacred document made for priestly interpretation. Citizens United inarguably proved the document as-is inadequate. Trump is the proof. There is no semblance of democracy without EXPLICIT bans on billionaire election-buying.
No time soon can we possibly have enough religious decline in the U.S., or fast enough, unfortunately.
Below is my new post about our Three Stages of Religious Decline paper (www.nature.com/articles/s41...). We argue that a similar process of decline affects countries on every populated continent, including countries in which Christianity, Islam, Buddhism or Hinduism is the largest religion. A🧵

This will free up her time to go carry on with her extramarital affair(s) without scrutiny.
He's doing this, of course, only to make us respond disgustedly and angrily and waste our attention and anger and disgust on something that doesn't really matter. So move along and don't respond.
What made me cuss today?
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
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
I was an evangelical for 35 yrs. I bought a family member a years supply of birth control on Nov 6 because I know they're coming for bc too. They've been talking about it for decades. The theocrats behind P2025 view bc as an abortifacient.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
No way Ol' Trumpy posted this in his current condition.
Joe Biden is out buying ice cream while everyone is asking whether Trump is dead.
Trump is currently a walking coma. How 'bout NBC cover that instead?
He can’t even paint himself orange anymore
Where's his hair? He looks like he's on death's door. He needs to address the media.
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA
Sure looks like his head was shaved for a medical procedure
I doubt Ol' Trumpy is saying anything right now. The guy is a stroked out walking coma.
Imagine how little these tokens will be worth if it turns out Ol' Trumpy has stroked out.
1/31 I believe there is growing evidence, that the White House is covering up the fact that Donald Trump has been dealing with TIA strokes. AND that he likely had a more significant ischemic stroke this week.
Thank you 😊
NYTimes ten months later: using questionably constitutional tactics, Trump is offering a fresh, bold reimagining of the power of the American presidency
"We do not use the word 'lunatic' in relation to his majesty" "Oh. Who's to say what's normal in a king? Who's to say what's normal in a king. Deferred to, agreed with, acquiesced in. Who can flourish on such a daily diet of compliance?" youtu.be/jVAhTa26EFQ?...
Would be pretty funny for Joe Biden to post a short video of himself walking right now.
What's going on with his puffy neck and underneath the shirt collar on his left?
But who will they replace him with? Trump always finds someone worse.
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
Which believable source witnessed this picture being taken?
