And if you don’t believe this is the absolute truth, you’ve learned nothing since January 20, 2017.
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.
Bill Cassidy is a physician who is being humiliated daily by Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s craven prioritization of his own power over the health and safety of his constituents and of the United States of America. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s powerlessness to stop him.
Vinay Prasad got the YouTube channel of @joho.bsky.social taken down. Dr. Howard provides facts and truth about science, including debunking Prasad’s false claims about vaccines and COVID19. Dr. Howard is much more calm about this than I would be. This is an affront to free speech.

Right now in Michigan, we’re in the middle of a budget showdown. The Republican Speaker of the House slipped a provision into the budget that would kneecap our Attorney General – and make it near-impossible for us to take the Trump Administration to court.

The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
It’s slowly dawned on me that Trump abruptly stopped going to his other properties in the weekend, not even Labor Day. He used to go to NJ in the summer. Now he seems tethered to the White House, where he recreated Mar-a-Lago Why?
I live near his Bedminster club. For three consecutive weekends he has been elsewhere. This is very unusual.

Message from an Alberta teacher: "I've been told that kids aren't allowed to bring books from home. No free choice reading. No silent reading time or listening to reading. No library time until books are catalogued and deemed appropriate. Please contact your MLA." @daniellesmithab.bsky.social
This is the kinda stuff right wing media said when Michelle Obama oversaw a school nutrition program fyi. Glenn Beck transcript is from 2010.
JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
I miss the old brand #CDC
Federal agents in DC have been starting dangerous car cases for small stuff like tinted windows. The chases violate DC police policy. Out of 10 cases, six ended in a crash. One car had a minor in back. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
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.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

James Stroud, who is one of at least 21 FEMA employees, put on leave after signing a letter criticizing Trump’s disaster preparedness, discusses the culture of fear within the agency. “One thing that is underreported is the day to day agony and humiliation we’ve been suffering this whole time.”
One from the outside of the USA & one from the inside.
Also, when engaging in resistance using a sandwich, do not take any bites from it first, because DNA. And remember that your condiments can be used against you in a court of law.
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Pritzker: "We want more help—civilian law enforcement help. We would like ATF agents to help us take more guns off the street. We would like FBI to coordinate with local law enforcement to help catch perpetrators. If they do that, we'd welcome it. That's not what they're doing."
Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
These people are in a cult and live inside a batshit alternate reality and are trying to get as many Americans as possible to join them inside it.

I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Judge Sooknanan to Ensign: "This is why we have process. This is why we have courts." Then she says that she also took the opportunity to look at the provision that Ensign cited. "I'm pretty skeptical that it gives the government the authority to do what you are claiming it does," she says.
Sooknanan: And from the plaintiff's perspective, you do not think that that's true? Plaintiff's counsel: We know that is not true for all the children in the class...and even if it were, the provisions the government cites as legal basis does not override other protections in the statute
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.

Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
DeSantis is so proud about the massacre in his state that he now spends considerable tax dollars to suppress any memorial to it.
“Trump’s financial disclosure report [shows] that he still personally benefits financially from most of these ventures… What distinguishes the work of Mr. Trump’s two sons is that [the] real estate deals and crypto efforts, bring revenues that benefit the president* himself.” @ericlipton.nytimes.com
RFK Jr must be fired. He’s too deranged and full of himself to leave voluntarily. So it’s vital to convince Trump that keeping Kennedy around drains his own political power and thus his personal wealth by so visibly endangering the health of everyone in the U.S. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
"Nothing happens in public life without Trump putting his stamp on it. Cooperstown? Cracker Barrel? The Kennedy Center Honors? Trump has a will to dominate them. He is the living embodiment of the leviathan, the totalized state."
Why Isn't Donald Trump's Declining Health Being Covered by Corporate Media? Where are the op-eds & news programs calling for Trump's resignation due to his declining health, impaired abilities, & march towards fascism? Oh, yeah, "both sides" corporate journalism. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
