The one where a national reporter finds out what I’ve said all along about Dems focusing on Epstein— voters are not focused on the files. Every group I’ve spoken to is concerned about Medicaid cuts and grocery prices and high rent. I hope Democrats will listen. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

There is a recurring message in the Bible. 🙏🏻It’s simple🙏🏻 If you think the book 📖 allows you to starve children 👶🏻keep medicine💉💊 from the sick😷and look away 👀 while people are slaughtered praying 🙏🏻 in churches🕍 or synagogues ⛪️, your ideology is flawed. #pinks #thebiblesays #loveoneanother
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.
I mean, we all knew this. Just reminding everyone that no real problems are getting solved by djt's performative nastiness. His pro-fossil fuel stance does more than line his pockets.
🤞🤞🤞
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
Everything is always 2 weeks away with him! Best health care plan ever, sanctions against Russia, etc. He keeps saying that phrase. It does not mean what he thinks it means
So do I but, unfortunately, there’s a lot in this state that don’t like him so I’m worried he won’t be re-elected and we’ll end up with some MAGA puppet as our next Governor
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
It’s funny because it’s true😂😂
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
🤣🤣🤣
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
Don’t they have to have roughly equal populations in each district??
So, maybe that foreign-sounding guy that called the other day and said he was with US Customs and Border Protection was telling the truth? Too bad I told him to go intercourse himself😂
Yet MAGA propaganda insists Trump is “protecting” you, while branding dissenters as supporting criminals. That’s a fake choice built on fear, not fact.
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
👏👏👏👏
Normally, I would say this is an unacceptable way to push the Party but, at this point, all rules and decorum have been thrown out the proverbial window so…
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
Well isn’t this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.
If you've been following my reporting and stories from the ground in Iowa, you would know that Iowa will flip seats. This had a lot to do with the anger at Trump, but mostly with the organizers doing the hard work on the ground. Contest every seat. Run everywhere. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
Praying for of all those affected by today’s horrific shooting in Minnesota, injuring and killing innocent young people who were simply starting their school year. We are all too accustomed to awful news like this, but must never accept such suffering and loss as normal.
A long read but well thought out and makes a lot of good points. www.threads.com/@1elizabeth_...
"There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water"
That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...
Anybody know a witch? Warlock? Gypsy who can cast a hex?
The US rebelled against England when George III was insane and it became clear his demands and tariffs were bankrupting the country while his troops intruded on family life. Sound familiar to anybody except me?
Everything is always only “2 weeks” away with him 🙄
Anyone who A) refers to himself ROUTINELY in the third person and B) feels the need to wear a ridiculous hat saying that he (in 3rd person) “was right about everything” should def’ NOT be listened to!
I personally know a hard-working family who is self-deporting to stay safe from the Trump regime. Their family business is construction. It’s going to be harder and harder to find labor which is why they are defunding public schools and rolling back child labor laws.

On X, Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker posted: “Things People are Begging for: 1. Cheaper groceries 2. No Medicaid and SNAP cuts 3. Release of the Epstein Files.” He added: “Things People are NOT begging for: 1. An authoritarian power grab of major cities.” -Heather Cox Richardson
Your week in review is out! youtu.be/QS2Nog4SoEY?...
Crime-ing in plain sight, as per usual. LOOK OVER HERE 👀 AND DON'T #RELEASEtheEPSTEIN_FILES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Thank you! I needed that!!!
An excellent use of limited resources 🙄😖
Only 500?
WTF???
What can we do to get ready to go into midterms? Make sure we have a candidate on every ballot in every race in every district in every state… No seat uncontested.
😂🤣😂🤣
This is what gerrymandering looks like. Photo via: Boone County Democrats.
This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”
Not only further evidence of the sloppiness with which this administration functions but also, why TF are taxpayers paying for all of the people who accompanied him to stay in a FOUR STAR hotel???
Republicans: let’s serve the Russian terrorist dictator halibut and filet mignon on US taxpayers along with a B-2 bomber flyover. Also republicans: DOGE and stripping healthcare from millions of Americans.
Unfortunately, it would take Repukes growing their spines enough to stand up to him and his handlers 🤨
Peace talks failed but it sounds like Trump made some good business deals…for himself.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.
Truly being “pro-family” means ensuring access and cost of care - including IVF - never stands in the way of someone choosing to start or grow their family. Trump breaking his promise about something as important as this might not be surprising, but it is cruel.
Too bad Trump and his boss will never see any of it. They’ll never get off the base.
And Russia already violated that promise twice. Any promises of non-aggression that Putin gives now will be just as empty😡 #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦
Let That Sink In! 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏼👇🏾
There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.
Prices: 🆙 Inflation: 🆙 Unemployment: 🆙 Don’t tell me you voted for the economy over the nice black lady with a funny laugh.

As of this week, there is nobody left on Earth who witnessed this moment live.

It is a desecration of the martyr doctors who gave their lives studying "hunger disease" in the Warsaw Ghetto to pretend not to understand that mass starvation is a drawn out process that must be instituted as a genocidal goal to reach the point where people en mas drop dead from it. Remember them
💯
The call has always been coming from the inside…
Welker to Lindsey Graham as he pushes baseless conspiracy theories in an effort to gin up a scandal about Obama: "Are you trying to rewrite history to distract from the Epstein matter, senator?"
The President of the United States of America thinks windmills are bad and raping children is good. #EpsteinFiles
And he’s only been back in office for 6 months 🙄😒
Yup, very, very good indeed.
Shit.
I’m old enough to remember when Eisenhower ,after opening up the concentration camps in Eastern Europe, told the world they must never forget this. Now….. concentration camps in america. Something has gone very wrong.
Is there ANYTHING cuter than a baby otter???🦦
A reminder: The perpetrators in the Epstein files are Oligarchs, and so are the ones protecting them.
The role of intellectuals is to challenge authority, not serve it.
Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.
She will testify in exchange for a pardon as long as Trump’s name and those of his biggest donors are never mentioned. He and Bondi have already had agents working overtime to scrub his name from the files. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Obama’s name scribbled in fat black Sharpie somewhere
I did an externship in Quincy many years ago! Too bad I’m working on Thursday 😭 Have fun!
A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.
#GVerse 🤔 How come the GOP can always find the money to bailout corporations and give tax cuts to the rich, but there's never enough money to: Protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. Provide free lunch for hungry kids. Provide healthcare for the sick.
🚨 CALL TO ACTION: Maxwell - rapist, trafficker, predator - is angling for a Trump pardon. This is a depraved assault on justice. The orgs must mobilize NOW. Where is your outrage? Get people in the streets. No more silence. @indivisible.org @fiftyfifty.one.web.brid.gy @handsoffnow.bsky.social !!??
How the other groomsmen kept a straight face, I’ll never be able to fathom!😂😂
It is insane that a child trafficker and predator appointed his personal attorney as DA, who interviewed his partner in crime, who, btw, is represented by the DAG's friend. Conflict of interest? I'm just a social worker, and I am required to abide by a higher standard of ethics than the president!
