We are demanding today that all of the Epstein files be released. We have 212 Democrats and 4 Republicans. We need just two more signatures to force the release, so we gather here to confront these corrupt forces. #ReleaseTheEntireEpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
The Trump administration is LYING about how long people are stuck waiting for help with their Social Security benefits. I pressed the Social Security Commissioner and got him to agree to an independent investigation. Instead of fudging the numbers, do your job and help people.
Hundreds of staff at two of California’s most popular national parks have voted to unionize, a move that comes during a troubled summer for the National Park Service, which has seen the Trump administration enact unprecedented staff and budget cuts. From our friends at @theguardian.com

People need to contact any Republican house members in your state even if you’re not their constituents and tell them to sign the discharge petition to at least bring the vote to the floor. Tell them not to be damn coward, pedophile protectors.
While billionaires multiply their fortunes hundreds of times over (yes, trillionaires are coming), workers are still stuck at $7.25 an hour. Make it make sense! #FightOligarchy
DOJ official caught on camera confirming what we already knew.
The "Heartland Institute" (as discussed by @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and me in #ScienceUnderSiege) is an anti-clean energy, climate change denying Plutocrat-funded front group www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/p...

The jobs report today makes clear that Trump is crashing the economy. Just as Kamala Harris predicted he would!
When you’re doing the right thing you don’t need a mask.
Organizations like Ktown For All and Pasadena For All, who usually help the unhoused in California have begun helping immigrants. They have raised $200,000 to help street vendors and day laborers to keep afloat while staying indoors. The funds are gone. They need more help from local officials.
Can’t get more obvious than this - it’s a White male glass ceiling.
Liberal plots the Trump regime is doing the most to stop: *job creation *due process of law *disease prevention *health care *public education *constitutional freedoms *respect for international law But they are sure working hard to protect child predators.

Glad to see it! The blue states are stepping up where the federal government has failed us.
www.politico.com/live-updates... It's about time Republican Senator John Barrasso is a an Orthopedic Surgeon from Wyoming You took a physician's oath "First do no harm " Do something Senator RFKJR is ignorant and UNQUALIFIED He must be investigated and removed Or Make him resign

We should be proud of Operation Warp Speed. We should be supporting more of that science. We are not done with flu pandemics. Why would we want to be sitting around in a few years going: "Gosh, we don't have any solutions here, let's call up the Europeans or the Canadians.”

Gotta say seeing governors competing to one up each other to see who can make vaccines most accessible is a refreshing change.
Yikes.
EPSTEIN FILES -an FBI HIGHLY CREDIBLE WHISLE BLOWER - this is insane news
In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lies are fueling a public health catastrophe. People will get sick. People will die. Science saves lives—misinformation kills.
🚨🚨🚨No words, just watch and listen! Holy shit. 1/2
Epstein’s survivors are done being silenced. They demand Congress release the files—flight logs, plea deals, prison docs. The cover-up ends now. Will your Rep stand with victims or protect pedophiles? social.demcast.com/s/thZvoNgI
This kindness.
Trump and the GOP Congress' agenda to Make America Smoggy Again is BACKFIRING. Hawai‘i and Wisconsin just announced they're joining us and 10 other states to fight for affordable clean cars. California continues to lead America into the future.
Deep gratitude and appreciation to the West Coast Health Alliance and medical societies like @ameracadpeds.bsky.social for filling the void in rational health leadership while the federal government abdicates its role.
ICYMI: watch this highlight reel from RFK Jr’s Senate hearings yesterday. What you heard is real. He was completely unhinged and disconnected from reality. It’s clear, Kennedy is dangerous and should never have been confirmed.
The Newsome press office just posted this 😂 sound up
"I was at the bottom of my class. I started doing heroin, and I went to the top of my class. Suddenly I could sit still and I could read." We’re not doctors but it kinda seem like this should’ve been disqualifying 🤷🏻♂️
Warner: "Secretary of Health and Human Service -- he doesn't know how many people died from covid, doesn't know if the vaccine saved lives, doesn't understand the issue that OBGYN doctors are fleeing rural America ... "
RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists. RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.
They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.
Still A+
Do your F-ing job RFK Jr. People are going to die because you don’t know what the job requires, how to do the job, nor the motivation to learn how to do either one.
A reminder that election certification law is already very clear: it's a mandatory legal duty, and county officials in Arizona (and across the country) have no discretion to refuse to certify final election results.
CNN put together a clip of RKF Jr denying today he linked antidepressants and mass shootings, followed by a clip of RFK Jr last week linking antidepressants and mass shootings
Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.
He is a predator. He will prey upon the nation and the world if he is not stopped. Necessary reading from @gregggonsalves.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...
A Senator requested that Kennedy be formally sworn in as a witness, given that his past statements appear to have been false. The committee chair rejected this request. That means there is little consequence if he lied in testimony today.
Florida Proud to Announce It’s Done Caring About Public Health www.jezebel.com/florida-prou...
More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"
Absolute bullshit. This stat comes from a study that was retracted because it was crap. Real studies show ZERO relationship between vaccination and autism. Again, RFK cherry picks data, even data that has been retracted and found to be in error. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25285211/

I just spoke on the floor to honor the victims of the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church. Every day since that horrific morning we’ve heard the stories of the heroes among us who saved lives. Congress must show courage equal to theirs by passing gun safety legislation.
Massie: “Marjorie Taylor Greene and I will read the list from the House floor” to protect the survivors.
exactly right! "The voters knew what was at stake. "The voters did not count on the "capitulation." "The establishment doesn't get to blame us for their undoing." #TruthWarriors now this is how you mount a resistance KAMALA FUCKING WON AND WE WERE ROBBED! 🧵 bsky.app/profile/sill...
Let this sink in…
NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES 🧵 DAY 3 SEPTEMBER 2025 MASSIE DISCHARGE PETITION TODAY THESE COURAGEOUS WOMEN SPOKE We are so proud but also so outraged that Trump once again calls it a "Democrat Hoax" I am outraged that Speaker Johnson said how horrible it is but refuses to release all the files
Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA): “For the first time, we are seeing deaths from children from measles. We haven’t seen that in two decades. We’re seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people.” RFK Jr.: “Can I respond?” Warnock: “No…you ought to resign.”
RFK has done enough talking. Now it’s time for him to listen.
Republican Thomas Massie says Trump is personally sabotaging the release of the Epstein files.
RFK Jr is a known liar. Period!
RFK Jr. is to us what an asteroid was to the dinosaurs.
All RFKJR DOES IS LIE And I've been posting this for a couple of years now STILL APPLIES HE MUST IS UNQUALIFIED HE MUST RESIGN
Meta is building a data center in Wyoming that would use more electricity than every home in the state combined.
BERNIE: “You’re cutting $150 billion for rural hospitals. You're putting $50 billion back. That's not an infusion. That’s a loss of $100 BILLION.”
AXIOS: “.. Massachusetts is the first state to mandate insurance coverage of vaccines even if the federal government stops requiring it.” @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/09/04/m...
Middle and low-income earners’ consumer confidence is plummeting, while high earners’ is going up. Be warned: this spells doom for our consumer spending-driven economy.
Take it from over 1,000 health care professionals: RFK Jr. is a threat to your health, your family's health, and the health of our country. Innocent people will die at the hands of his incompetence. He must resign. www.axios.com/2025/09/03/r...
RFK Jr. benefits from lawsuits against drugmakers he's financially incentivized to sow distrust in medicines www.npr.org/sections/sho...
RFK.Jr is practicing medicine without a license. This is illegal and dangerous
I'm starting to look into how inflammation is being misused by MAHA types in a way that very much distracts from chronic illness-inflammation problems people actually have. If you're an academic, doctor, immunologist etc with thoughts on this, please be in touch at jmetraux@motherjones.com
www.axios.com/2025/09/04/m... Massachusetts will require health insurers operating in the state to cover vaccines recommended by the state's department of public health. Massachusetts is the first state to mandate insurance coverage of vaccines even if the federal government stops requiring it.
RFK: "It's the biggest infusion of federal dollars into rural healthcare in American history." Sen. Bernie Sanders: "You know why? Because you're cutting $150 billion for rural hospitals and putting $50 billion back. That's not an infusion — that's a loss of $100 billion."
🚨Rep. Crockett is 🎯. The 1A is not only under attack, it poses imminent danger to those who go against DT in voting to release the Epstein files. The U.S. government is at a crossroad. Are legislators going to protect a man they fear, or do right by victims? No moral ambiguity here.
During the RFK Jr hearing Sen Daines referenced a study showing that mifepristone is much more dangerous than the FDA has said. As per usual, it turns out to be a study that a) was done by an anti-abortion group, and b) was widely reported in right wing media but ignored elsewhere.
Watching @raskin.house.gov eviscerate Nigel Farage in Congress was a rare joy. Finally someone called out the charlatanry: Free speech for me, not for thee - while wearing a GB News pin in Washington.
You’d think that the sitting President of the United States being credibly implicated in the world’s most nefarious pedophilia scandal would be a much bigger deal.
Kennedy continues to claim that vaccines aren’t adequately tested. He is a liar. They are the most thoroughly tested intervention of all.
LUJAN: You hired a man named David Geier to conduct this study. Is that correct? RFK Jr: No LUJAN: Is Geier working for HHS? RFK Jr: He's a contractor LUJAN: Do you know that Mr Geier is listed on the HHS employee directory as a senior data analyst, not a contractor?
Getting rid of vaccine mandates for kids while cutting Medicaid and also going after the federal Department of Education means there will be more disabled kids with less structure to help them with infection-triggered disabilities.
🚨8 New England & Mid-Atlantic states have formed their own coalition to address CDC shortfalls led by RFK Jr misinformation & lies: Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey & Pennsylvania. What State is really missing? NEW HAMPSHIRE! vtdigger.org/2025/08/28/w...
BREAKING: Sen. Warnock gets RFK Jr. to admit that he demanded that then-CDC Director Monarez fire CDC officials before her firing.
Dems killing it on RFK today. Well done, people. Now start grilling your colleagues who voted for this crackpot
“How can you be that ignorant?” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) presses RFK Jr. on Covid facts. WATCH LIVE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3MO...
WARNOCK: Did you demand that she fire career scientists or public experts at the CDC? RFK Jr: Yes
It’s becoming clear that the brain worm is running HHS.
