They chose to protect the pedophile rather than the children he raped. There is no coming back from that decision.

Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
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.
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.
That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.

Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
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.

Trump is acting like a Chinese Communist Party asset: Trying to kill the American clean energy industry — ensuring an energy shortage & skyrocketing costs — as China smartly rockets ahead with massive clean energy expansion.
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
Good.
The only thing that drives every single Republican policy
If parents don’t get a diagnosis, kids lose services and therapy, left to struggle in systems that punish them instead of supporting them. That’s how the prison pipeline stays full. RFK knows this and still pushes stigma—because his friends profit off private prisons and clinics. #Pinks
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
Don’t look away
(1/3) Pediatric health care and strong public health agencies are two planks in the foundation of children’s health and wellbeing. CDC has long been a leading resource for research and evidence-backed recommendations on how to keep children healthy.
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
Wow!! Incredible news!! 👏👏
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Bless her duplicitous heart
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
The best part of this photo — which is a good example of how photographers make art — is the slogan “American workers first” on the banner observed by troops who’ve been forced to pick up trash and do landscaping because the president on the banner illegally fired the American workers who did that.
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
OH GREAT NOW THE SWAMP IS WOKE www.iflscience.com/deep-in-virg...
No amount of appearing reasonable and trying to avoid provoking them will stop them from escalating against you. The only thing you'll do is inspire revulsion in everyone else: if you won't even stand up for yourself how can you stand up for anyone else
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
The thing is: They’re not wrong about this part. But it exposes how hypocritical they’ve been to attack anyone who has pointed this out as “socialists” for decades — and what a convenient lie the “free market” has always been.
Yes, flag burning is protected speech- … but why are we glossing over the whole "presidents can't create statutes by executive order" thing? ~
What if they beat a Cop w it in the capital steps? Then what?
Dems are apparently "looking for a platform" when the answer is right there: Stop running away from thing that actually help people. Food, housing, healthcare, no genocides, everyone's rights and bodily autonomy protected, a livable world, and all of those things viciously, deftly defended, always.
The John Bolton search should be a wake-up call to every American This escalation in the use of law enforcement to target political opposition marks a dangerous new front for American authoritarianism.
Yeah, IT’S everywhere because gay people exist everywhere. How did you Explain to your grandkids what a pimp is and what women are doing rubbing up on each other in YOUR videos hypocrite it’s simple gay people have kids with IVF or adoption. So disappointed nypost.com/2025/08/25/e...
Whoopsy
Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.
1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him. 2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him. 3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.
I really wish people knew what they were actually voting for when they vote. Seems to me that 72% of the population should have the largest piece of the pie, and not the inverse. At the same time the 72 can make economic hell for the 28!! Do it!!!!
Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
Nuff said.
LISTEN to this. ➡️ "The Attorney General of the United States is now a rogue actor who has become a political tool of a corrupt President seeking to undermine the constitution of the United States and the rule of law." substack.com/@politicsusa...
Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!
U have “perfect is the enemy of the good” syndrome.
"I know more about grass than any human being anywhere in the world." I DARE YOU TO TRY TO TOP THIS, GAVIN @govpressoffice-m.bsky.social
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say
Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!
HAPPENING NOW: Judge REYES not leaving a lot of mystery here: "The statute would have no meaning at all if the president could just say we’re taking over your police department."

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.
I can’t help but notice the Wall Street Journal stopped getting Epstein leaks after Todd Blanche met with Ghislaine Maxwell and she was moved to a minimum security resort.
What a banal way of describing the march toward fascism.
“I’ve lived here almost 50 years— The most violent moment was January 6th 2021 when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone involved.” Those Epstein files must be wild
Authoritarianism is here. 🇺🇸 (To distract from his Epstein files cover-up)

mRNA vaccines are, without exaggeration, one of the greatest inventions in human history. We basically hacked our immune systems. “Here’s the secret code for this new virus, prep to fight exactly that.” A promising avenue for addressing some cancers too. And the US is throwing it away. For what?
They’re not arresting criminals. They’re arresting resistance. And if that doesn’t shake you, read this twice.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
Fox News hosts are furious that Big Balls and Holly got beat up and people just filmed it instead of intervening. “Who stands there and watches as someone gets attacked?” These same people are perfectly fine with ICE kidnappings.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt Attorney General in Texas history. This malignant clown was impeached by his own party. He has ZERO credibility on issues of law and order. Pipe down.
What culture needs defending?
Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
Election theft in broad daylight. 5 alarm fire🔥. We are over the cliff. 🇺🇸
Grift
Bring it. A trial at which evidence is presented on whether Trump colluded with the Russians and whether they interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections would be spectacular. Which is precisely why it will never happen. www.foxnews.com/politics/doj...
Damn them for all time for not caring that he’s a child trafficker.
The letter Greg Abbott wrote admits he doesn’t have the power to remove members of the Texas legislature And this isn’t bribery Abbott is trying to shift the blame to Democrats in an attempt to normalize what is deeply abnormal conduct by Texas Republicans
Party of criminals
😕
Yes, explain.
I covered the Obama WH. Tapper, Chuck Todd and lots of other big names were in the briefing room then. I can assure you they would have been on it nonstop had Obama launched a program for kids alongside a registered sex offender. So why don’t they give a shit now?
If the economy buckles under this crew...don’t buy the ‘oops’ narrative. They profit from volatility...chaos...and pain. And if you can’t afford rent or food...remember...it wasn’t an accident.

This is the core dynamic of American politics. Democrats provide material assistance to rural areas when they have the opportunity, are met with derision and sometimes disenfranchisement, and the demand for respect is never, ever reciprocal bsky.app/profile/chri...
It’s finally dawning on the cult that republicans are the party of human trafficking and child sex predators. Do you see how they have no values and their beliefs can change like the wind?
