KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
We all saw the protests erupt at GOP Rep Mike Flood’s town hall earlier this month, but Flood is far from alone. Populist protests and community actions targeting Republicans for backing Trump’s signature tax law and other cuts to the social safety net happened far and wide this August recess.
The head of the Environmental PROTECTION Agency is doing everything he can, along with Convicted Felon Donald Trump, to destroy the environment they're supposed to protect. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica #TrumpIsACriminal www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/c...
It's weird how Republicans call Liberals groomers, but they're totally fine with a convicted rapist and pedophile in the White House. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
Convicted Felon Donald Trump wants to rule by executive order because he knows most of what he wants won't get through Congress. Wimpy, spineless Congressional Republicans cower in the corner & let him. What happened to state's rights? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
NEW: Trump family has now made $5 billion off its corrupt crypto deals. Your family gets higher energy prices and cuts to health care. His family gets billions. Corruption, plain and simple. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday encouraged students to practice the Lord’s Prayer as relayed in the King James Version of the Bible, marking the latest instance of a Texas public official endorsing Christianity over other faiths.

#ProudBlue President Yam Tits is a LOSER! 😂 Lost in court again. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Abortion "lacked long-standing protection in American law," Barrett argues in her upcoming memoir.
Trump claims a video showing people throwing bags out a White House window is "probably AI generated." Doocy then plays the clip for him. Trump still insists it's AI.
The law is clear, whether you like it or not: Members of Congress have the right to conduct oversight of ICE facilities. No law gives Trump the power to target his chosen political enemies, like @replamonica.bsky.social, simply for doing their jobs and their duties.

Free D.C. and every other city from Trump’s tyranny!! United States veterans are marching up Capitol Hill with Sgt. Rhodes!! True American heroes!! 💙
Mike Johnson’s district depends on Medicaid, yet he’s leading the charge to rip it away. Families in Louisiana are already struggling to pay rent & groceries. Now Johnson’s cuts threaten their doctors, clinics & kids’ care. #HandsOffMedicaid www.npr.org/2025/08/28/n...
Your hard-earned tax-dollars at work.
PORTLAND: Lots of folks have gotten out of the habit of masking. But we can get those KN95s back out for #RCCC @rosecitycc.bsky.social. We don't have a real CDC anymore, and we don't know WHAT to expect from the next variant. Let's take this one simple step to protect ourselves and each other!
Today's show roadmaps the fast-moving developments in LGML v. Noem, where the administration has tried to remove 600+ Guatemalan children here in this country awaiting asylum hearings & other due process claims. Also: tariffs! Rudy! Elon Musk! We've got a jam-packed hour (75 mins for supporters!)
there's a special election tonight in Florida's SD-15 tonight, which is an Orlando-area 61-38% Harris district. looks like Dems will have a big overperformance. as of 3 PM, turnout is 60% D, 27% R, 12% NPA, 1% other (+34% D). that's a MUCH better margin than current registration or 2024 turnout.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will direct federal law enforcement intervention to Chicago and Baltimore, despite local officials in both places opposing such moves.
A thorough synopsis of Judge Breyer's ruling in California's challenge to President Trump's deployment of the military in Los Angeles, from my @brennancenter.org colleague @josephanunn.bsky.social.
From your lips, to Rep. Pelosi's ears.
"We should act like he's not joking... they're gonna try and manufacture some sort of a crisis." @keithellison.bsky.social, one of the only US politicians to predict a Trump win in 2015, agrees that Trump wants to stay in office beyond 2028, as a "dictator." Full intv: zeteo.com/p/keith-elli...
JD Vance trying to figure out WTF is Dementia Don even talking about?!?! Nothing he says is even remotely relevant to what he’s asked about!!!
Today’s court ruling is what we’ve been warning about for months: Trump is unlawfully using the military to terrorize Americans, including kids and hardworking immigrants — many of whom have contributed to this country and are part of American families.
One problem with being on Twitter is that Elon Musk constantly rejigs the site to push his views. He cannot be sidelined when he owns the underlying system. His manipulation of the Twitter AI to match his views illustrates this point. Via @kateconger.com www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...
Joe Biden was the first U.S. president to join a labor union on strike in 2023. 🔗 tinyurl.com/5n6k7fad His #CupOfJoe always celebrates American workers – the heart and soul of our nation. Forever grateful to drink from his cup.

Thank you, Hillary. From your lips to Rep. Pelosi's ears.

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
Maybe start with eliminating the $2.13 federal tipped-minimum wage. Or, restore Eisenhower's corporate tax rate of 50% on all corporate profits. To start.
Trump has openly talked about how he wanted the 2024 election to be the last election we ever had. A Washington Post journalist wrote this book last year about Steve Bannon and Bannon loved it so much he had the author come speak on his show. This is very obvious.

If AOC's star power helps propel Mamdani to mayor in NYC, and Bernie's star power helps Graham Platner unseat Susan Collins, while small moves, they would be nice steps toward a more progressive future. It does my little socialist heart good thinking about them boosting other progressives.
One true test of Trump’s mental fitness is whether he’ll be able to take reporters’ questions after his announcement in the Oval Office tomorrow. And for how long.
So, the 34-felony convict liable for sexual assault will have awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to an adulterer (Limbaugh), an election fraud charged with 9 felonies (Giuliani), and a pedophile protector (Jim Jordan). The medal is now meaningless.
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

"That is why I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it." Yes, there is a difference.
Good Taco Tuesday, friends!! I'm starting to think he might be at least on hospice care. It wouldn't be the first time a president's team takes over and acts as the president. The last time it happened, the people surrounding the president were competent. Have a day, y'all!! #SheShed

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Many people are saying that Grab-Ass Grandpa’s announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. today is a distraction from Wednesday’s press conference with 10 of Epstein’s victims. Well, duh. Thank you for your inattention on this matter.

A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
