2,500+ words on Trump's science policy and not a word about Russ Vought, RFK Jr., Chris Wright, Stephen Miller, etc.
Someone recently pointed out that a huge portion of those who die from measles without vaccination are in fact those with other conditions. That is actually the goal of RFK Jr. It's a cull.
For months, Trump and his thugs claimed they had no knowledge of Kilmar Abrego Garcia once they shipped him to El Salvador. But now claim they have located parents or guardians in Guatemala for the hundreds of children they are trying to deport. Rather miraculous. #DeportationBlock
@annabower.bsky.social has done a great job of reporting on a hearing blocking the trump administration from sending 600 unaccompanied minors to Guatemala. I've attached a gift article to present further developments.
Yeah “surprising,” as a 2008 law requires unaccompanied kids from countries other than Canada/Mexico to be "placed in the least restrictive setting that is in the best interest of the child." A 3AM plane to Guatemala—ignoring potential harm upon arrival—is not that. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Today we monitored ICE flights in support of legal partners who worked tirelessly to stop the unlawful deportation of unaccompanied children to Guatemala. Thanks to their monumental efforts, the planes never took off
Loading children up to fly them to Guatemala without a hearing to find out if they can be cared for by relatives in USA and whether they will be greatly harmed by the Deportation. These Trump MAGAS sink so low on the morality scale there is no bottom.
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family’s ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.

I think of this (and post it) a lot - but each day this administration reminds me of the window washer in charge of health admin in Iran in Persepolis, and each day we come closer to what is depicted there. At this point I don’t see the difference…
Didn't Vance say the former Pope appeared to be in great health when he insisted on meeting him earlier this year?
Touting how he’s ready to be president just yesterday while hailing Trumps health… Trump hasn’t been seen since Wednesday…

White House picks Kennedy deputy Jim O’Neill to replace fired CDC chief
Trump pardoned scammers, predators, and violent criminals. Of course his admin wants Ashli Babbitt honored with full military honors. He glorifies the worst while vilifying public servants like Lisa Cook. Trump is the tyrant the Founders warned us about.
Trump's attempting to fire Lisa Cook to turn the Federal Reserve into the "Central Bank of Trump." The Fed makes decisions based on economic data—not political pressures. This move would undermine the world's confidence in our economy and harm working people. And it is illegal.
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook sued First Felon Trump in federal court on Thursday, court records show, launching what’s expected to be a significant court battle to determine to what extent the president can exert control over the nation’s central bank.
Lisa Cook was confirmed twice by the Senate - who, last time I checked, were elected - after being nominated by the President. What Trump wants is to reverse a legitimate democratic process here.
Ashli Babbitt died because she was recruited into a death cult. That death cult is now in charge of the Air Force. The end.

Everyone should read Dr. Demetre’s CDC resignation letter. They really are trying to kill us. Partial quote & QR code for full letter below.
“We are seven months into the new administration, and no CDC subject matter expert from my Center has ever briefed the Secretary. I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us.”
Reading this & fantasizing about how incredible it would’ve been if a previous CDC director had so elegantly clapped back abt the truth needing to be told about COVID, and that we couldn’t rely on vaccines alone but need clean indoor air too, and how healthcare workers must be mandated to mask, etc.

My joint statement with Reps. Garcia, Frost, and Dexter on the latest updates regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
As the Trump administration continues to harass Kilmar Abrego Garcia, I haven't forgotten about this:
"It's clearly punitive": Attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Simon Sandoval Moshenberg, explains how the Trump administration is using the threat of deportation as leverage in their criminal prosecution of Abrego Garcia.
🧵This was the ruling of the US Supreme Court shortly after the Civil War in Ex parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2 (1866) which yet stands to this day. One of the most important legal reminders for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & Trump's denial of justice to everyone like him.

The MAGA World Cup, also known as the 2026 World Cup, will begin June 11, but it really began Friday at the White House. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the draw’s date and location, and also made it very clear that this World Cup will be his.
Trump said today that LA is "poorly run" and "if I didn’t send in the troops, Gianni wouldn’t be in Los Angeles, you wouldn’t be having your World Cup there." Also, *this* is how you cover a Trump megaevent press conference

Trump-Putin Summit Whatever Trump and Putin privately discussed today in the presidential limousine The Beast is the real reason the center of geopolitical gravity shifted to a military base outside Anchorage, Alaska. And I am not so sure it was just about Ukraine.
South Carolina sending their National Guard to DC with Hurricane Erin on the way. RACISM is always the priority for Republicans.
After the embarrassing Putin–Trump summit, Trump emerged weaker than ever. Now he’s pressuring red state governors to send National Guard troops into DC to pose as a strongman. Soft on Moscow, hard on Americans. Authoritarian insecurity is on full display.
It’s sooooo weird that the only 3 governors who are sending National Guard to DC are also in the Epstein files. 🤔 🤷 #ChildMolestersCoup
