Ossoff: "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes"
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell may have dropped an Easter egg as to who the next Super Bowl halftime performer could be during an interview on “Today.” “We would always love to have Taylor play.”
After nineteen years, I am living near the ocean once again, and it feels like the cancellation of a debt
Rapists should get life sentences. Their victims do.
WATCH: “This is how much f*cking Kool-Aid these people drink.” @katiephang.bsky.social on a judge ruling Trump’s LA invasion was illegal - including operation “Excalibur” (because Trump wants to be king) scheduled for Father’s Day (“nasty shit”) Full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZJD...
Which one should I munch on, the blue or red snack? 😋 A Southern Right Whale, estimated to be around 18 meters long and weighing 80 tons, caught on camera. Stunning. These whales are relatively harmless and they are known to interact with humans. Amazing creatures. #southernrightwhale #sealife
Timeline cleanse 😁 I live on 8 acres in a pocket of more sparsely developed, unincorporated county land surrounded by city. There's a family of deer that have used this land and our neighborhood as a safe island. So most days I get a visit from the neighbors just outside my office window.
To the brave women who spoke today about the horrors of Epstein/Maxwell, I say this: For any legal concerns about speaking the names of people who sexually abused you and others, have no fear of legal expenses; I'm sure plenty of angry Americans will help fund you. Count me in. Get it done.
"It's the unvarnished truth."
have been told the new Covid vaccine won’t be available until end of Sept in my area. like many, I couldn’t even schedule it because of the RFK nonsense. and yes, I am eligible. had no problem scheduling it for this week in NJ though! that would be my advice to others: schedule your booster in NJ.
All of the Seniors will get sick.
literal lunatics are in charge of public health right now
So the US military blew up a Venezuelan “drug boat” b/c 11 cartel members were supposedly on board. So all aboard were guilty snd deserved to die? Seems like an act of war and as such a war crime. Idk. Something very wrong morally and legally.
We the People can save our country using the Continental Congress as a model for how citizen volunteers can draft reforms to get $ out of politics, ensure election integrity & make strict ethics rules so corruption can't exist. The blueprint is at USCitizensCongress.bsky.social. The USA needs YOU!
The President is begging me to call him to bring in the National Guard. I’m not going to beg him for something we don’t want.
Breaking: Peaceful activists, many with disabilities, are being arrested at the Capitol right now. These individuals are putting themselves on the line to do all they can to save healthcare for millions of Americans.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal

De Georgiou: And to be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades.
We all know what he is hiding. He spent years raping children.
RFK Jr will be ‘personally responsible’ for children’s deaths by halting vaccine alliance funding, experts say www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Today SNAP cuts go into effect, taking food out of actual hungry mouths to give the richest among us a tax break that they statistically won’t even notice.
A week ago after hearing a string of sirens I text from a friend asking if we knew what was going on at our kids' school. The rest of what took place you likely know by now If you’d like to help this community, we ask you give to Annunciation Hope & Healing Fund: www.ccf-mn.org/support-annu... Thx
"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)
Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."
Massie: The Washington establishment is asking the American public to believe something that is not believable... Now, the Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're going to vote on a nonbinding resolution today that does absolutely nothing.

@indivisible.org The date is set 👍🏻‼️ We ALL have to show up‼️
As House Republicans & DOJ continues to block release of the files, Epstein victims speak out: “The files contain the names of powerful men who have been shielded because of their fame or fortune. Congress - will you continue to protect predators or survivors? Release the files!”
TONIGHT: I'll be on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to talk about the movie version of Stephen King's very 1st novel, #TheLongWalk. Other guests include comedian Andrew Santino & singer Gigi Perez. Check it out if you can. 📺 👀 Thanks!- mh 🙏 @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social @stephenking.bsky.social

Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda: "The worst part is that the government is still in possession right now of documents & information that could help me remember and get over all of this maybe, and help me heal. They have documents w/ my name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house"
Mike Johnson faces escalating pressure as House GOP prepares for Epstein vote.

“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.

It’s time for Democratic leaders to fight or step aside for those who will. In the face of a would-be strongman, and incredible energy from rank-and-file voters, senior leaders of the Democratic Party in Washington still cannot seem to find the front of the battle line www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
Just a reminder - Kroger exec admitted to intentional price gouging after COVID 'cuz they could. Others followed suit and groceries went up. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Article is a year and a couple of days old. www.newsweek.com/kroger-execu...
I'm leading a group of AGs opposing a new DHS policy that erases due process protections for undocumented immigrants and denies people their most basic constitutional rights. The federal government cannot ignore the law and threaten our nation’s families and values.
"Husband wins Ohio lottery scratch-off, plans to cover wife's cancer treatment" The United States is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and should provide universal healthcare. No one should have to win the lottery to afford cancer treatment. www.freep.com/story/money/...

Good morning, #Idaho. #IdahoEscape.
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.
Host: There are new calls this morning for RFK Jr.'s resignation, and those calls coming from inside HHS itself. More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released this morning. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"
2020 was largely mail-in vote due to the pandemic. This is likely the reason Trump could not rig enough votes in 2020. Recent data indicates there were election anomalies in 2020, as well as 2024; but they were in Trump's favor! Trump has a well documented history of election fraud Verify the vote!
I hope he has a good year. I love watching him play!
I was a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Seeing these women getting the coverage and support they are this morning...brings a smile to my face. I don't see broken women. I see strong and empowered women. They. Will. Prevail.

"When did we become a country where it's okay for the US 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?" Gov. JB Pritzker

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
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?"
Tell me y’all see the major problems with the U.S. government declaring people on a boat somewhere are criminals and then blowing them up.
As expected…👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼😡
COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.
HAPPENING NOW: Epstein survivor press conference. They deserve to be heard: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6fU...
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
WAKE UP! The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. They deserve to be heard. Today at 10:30 AM EST / 7:30 AM PST, they’re speaking live at a press conference. The system tried to bury the truth, but these voices are rising anyway. Watch. Share. Don’t look away. (Link in 🧵)
As we rightfully should be! We are no longer operating as a Democracy. The checks and balance of Congress and SCOTUS are not restricting the illegal and unconstitutional overreach and dictatorial extremism of this regime. There is no legitimate oversight, just repression. time.com/7266334/us-h...
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"
Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Once the earth shook and a giant mosquito came from the river. It was mischievous to the people, flying

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

Dictators in trouble at home often resort to "easy wars" abroad. Cadet Bone Spurs edges toward wars with Venezuela and perhaps Mexico while invading our cities, all to fight "crime." Never forget Felon trump is a convicted criminal and wants to steal our freedom. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/u...
