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.”
Nobody’s asking any questions after we murder 11 people on Donald Trump’s say so? Oh.
New @motherjones.com: What to know about the emotional bipartisan press conference w/ Epstein survivors on the Hill today. The TL;DR: They begged Trump for more transparency. He called their claims a "hoax." Hear them in their own words ⤵️ www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
✊✊✊
"Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world. And it will be done by survivors – and for survivors. No one else is involved. ...Because history is watching – and so are the women who will come after us." Epstein survivor
Maybe victims aren’t able to name names at this point. But we can. Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are PEDOPHILE PROTECTORS! #PedophileProtectors.
Trump raising prices through tariffs, higher energy costs, higher food costs, and now 23% premium increases in ACA health care plans. It's like he and the Rs don't really give a shit about working people. acasignups.net/25/09/03/exc...
This is not a political issue. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. This can bring us together. Why don’t we do something good for the country: stand with survivors and show the nation we’re still capable of coming together when it matters for truth and justice.

The victims continue to be victimized.
“President Trump, I’m a registered Republican… this is not a hoax. The abuse was real. Humanize us. I would be more than happy to meet with him.”
Rep. Nancy Mace walked away in tears after meeting with Epstein victims. This is the congresswoman who said"there is no Epstein list" and pushed for cushy prison deals. Now the victims’s trauma is being heard face to face. Survivors are speaking, it's rattling the pedophile protectors. #Epstein
Why? #EpsteinVictims
WATCH LIVE: Epstein Victims Press Conference in DC
‼️‼️
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!”
Donald Trump woke up today to discover....the EPSTEIN COVERUP STORY JUST BECAME EVEN BIGGER....10X BIGGER.
“Several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names. We know the names. Many of us were abused by them.”
Epstein survivors are speaking out from the Capitol steps as lawmakers push to release more files related to the late convicted sex offender's case https://cnn.it/4ni88dn
Epstein's victims announce they will compile a list of the men who raped them. ❤ if you agree it’s time we listen to Epstein’s and Trump’s rape victims.
Rep. Nancy Mace—the receipts are on her face. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #BelieveTheVictims
“The new head of the CDC [Jim O’Neill] has no training in medicine and once helped Peter Thiel develop man-made islands floating outside U.S. territory” 8/29/25 … 1/ fortune.com/2025/08/29/w...
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Gavin Newsom is not imitating Trump. He is mocking him. He is holding up a mirror to what Trump does and how blind his supporters are to reality. From the 3 hour North Korean style cabinet meetings to all caps nonsense tweets. It’s all worthy of mockery.
I love this website! #CostPlusDrugs
Republican Rep. Gabe Evans: “Moving [Space] Command at such a turbulent time would jeopardize our national security and unnecessarily waste taxpayer resources.”
Trump: "We've taken in almost $17 trillion of investment." (That would be more than half the entire US GDP, so no.)
Trump’s tariff taxes are driving American farmers out of business. Believe me, no one knows bankruptcy better than Donald! fortune.com/2025/08/30/r...
Vinay Prasad, who is both making it harder to get the Covid vax and has been anti-work from home in the past, is barely coming into office. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
LEVINE: “.. it has always struck me as quite straightforward. .. the Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to impose tariffs. Trump made up his own tariffs without any input from Congress, so they are unconstitutional.” @matt-levine.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/news...
I'd like to assure the reporters and editors at ABC News that no bad people will hurt you, and you won't have to pay another $16 million, if you fact-check (in real time) something that the president of the United States just made up. abcnews.go.com/US/58-shot-w...
The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.
Newsom v. Trump: a federal court granted our injunction, blocking Trump’s illegal use of the military for domestic law enforcement. The ruling is clear: Trump is breaking the law by trying to create a national police force with himself as its chief.
VICTIMS OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN AND GHISLAINE MAXWELL will be speaking to the public at a press conference on Wednesday, Sept 3rd at 10:30 AM EST at the House Triangle in Washington, DC. They will be calling for legislation to force Trump to release the Epstein files in full. Articles⬇️
Susan Collins you in trouble girl. #Platner #Maine
Medicare works because it’s simple & fair. Now Trump is pushing a pilot that forces seniors into the same prior-authorization nightmares of private insurance—using A.I. contractors paid to deny care. A dangerous step toward privatizing Medicare. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...
Prasad has only been showing up at the FDA 3 days every 2 weeks. Prasad is commuting from CALIFORNIA. Notably the FDA is *paying for his travel* to and from California. In-person work for thee but not for me. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Today's ISM survey commentary is fun: "Tariffs continue to wreak havoc" "There is absolutely no activity in the transportation equipment industry. This is 100 percent attributable to current tariff policy. "We are also in stagflation: Prices are up due to material tariffs, but volume is way off.”
It’s time to have a serious conversation about Trump’s health www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...

Life is better in a union. Unions helped build our Social Security system. Strong unions make a strong Social Security system.
Since the best in healthcare no longer serve at the top of the Federal Government, we are bringing them directly to you at Meidas Health. Don’t miss Episode 14 with the President of the @ameracadpeds.bsky.social Jam packed with useful information! @meidastouch.com
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
Donnie, here’s what you can do to get to heaven… Help the poor, which means not cutting their healthcare and child’s lunches Welcome the stranger, which means not snatching an immigrant from work and throwing them in a concentration camp Put others before yourself - enjoy Hell 😈 🔥 #ProudBlue
“.. Memphis, after all, has long been one of the most dangerous cities in the country, with a murder rate about twice as high as the nation’s capital ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.
How is this “freedom”?
The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate among the world’s richest nations and the Trump regime is determined to make it still worse. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
$8 trillion in tariffs, but GoFundMe is still our national healthcare plan.
A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
Weak, lame, sad. #WhereIsDonOLD?
great.....
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Weird hat, huh?
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
A Maine ballot measure in November would place a barrage of news restrictions on mail voting. In 2024, 61 percent of Mainers over 65 who voted did so by mail.
My blues song STRAIGHT TO HELL about Donald Trump's post life options has nearly 600K views on the YouTube. Wonder why it's so popular? youtu.be/pHAg_9qWaSk
The thing about those 600 minors being deported is none of them were in the Epstein files like Trump is.

Pritzker out here giving a master class in countering the right wing propaganda machine’s efforts to justify further federal invasions and occupations of American cities: he’s effectively reframing the discussion (beyond debates re: crime rates) to one of rising authoritarianism & federal overreach.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
Better headline: “President Trump and other psychopathic billionaires are discussing genocide so they can steal the land of Palestinians and build resorts and golf courses.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
Anyway, I'm sure it's fine that the guy who normally won't shut up for the cameras has avoided them for nearly a week now.
As Trump’s health declines, he seems completely preoccupied with his likelihood of reaching Heaven. Guess what, Donny? It’s too late for you. On the bright side, you’ll spend eternity with your best friend, Jeffrey Epstein.
GOP responses to mass shootings: Step 1: Blame it on mental health, not guns Step 2: Vote to cut funding for mental health Repeat I live outside the US, and I can assure you: the rest of the world has people with mental health problems. What they don't have is easy access to unlimited guns.
American soldiers put their lives on the line for us all. To vote while they’re serving America on overseas deployments, they vote by mail. Why does Donald Trump want to rip the right to vote away from American soldiers?
This is a must-read article.
HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND, PATRIOTS!!! GOD BLESS THE WORKING PEOPLE WHO MAKE AMERICA GREAT! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Justice Department had once argued that Ghislaine Maxwell should be sentenced to at least 30 years in prison. Now its second-ranking official—and Donald Trump’s former lawyer—is aligned with a woman whose crimes the department had called “monstrous.”
Sigh, #JDVance, WTF do you believe?
JD Vance, who are you really? #PotemkinCandidate #JDVance
He shouldn’t try Newsom.
Oh man… this is hysterical. Canada is giving Gavin Newsom a free plane? 😂😅🤣
Hear, hear!
Donald Trump hasn’t been seen publicly since Tuesday. No-one in the White House press pool saw him anywhere on Thursday or Friday. He has no scheduled events Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
How is this “freedom”, that concept that conservatives love to toss around at rallies? Or is it freedom from making decisions about your own health?
Why would anyone in their right mind fly on an airline that filed bankruptcy not once, but twice?
Lol. JD…
Where is Trump? NOBODY KNOWS. But JD Vance is WAITING FOR THE THRONE New Metal song dropping at 9AM here: youtu.be/hD8mOi0jGLg Created with @hailuoai.bsky.social and Suno Music A taste below... DONT MISS IT!!!!
Meanwhile, prices are rising anyway.
Promise tariffs ⟶ faff around ⟶ announce tariffs ⟶ pause tariffs ⟶ promise deals ⟶ court rules tariffs illegal ⟶ appeal ⟶ court order stayed ⟶ make no deals ⟶ 90 days expires ⟶ delay tariffs again ⟶ announce tariffs again ⟶ appeals court rules tariffs illegal again ⟶ you are here
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
So, he’s an ambidextrous hand shaker?
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
