New reporting confirms that Republican Senator Susan Collins’ Super PAC received a $2 million donation from #Blackstone billionaire Steve Schwarzman the day before she cast a crucial vote to advance former President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”—a budget & tax package 🧵 1 of 4/
Release the #Epsteinfiles.
Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
It’s not possible to announce your guilt any louder than ordering a military flyover of the White House to disrupt Epstein survivors speaking out for justice.
Corruption so obvious even Fox Business sees it 👀
MASSIVE BREAKING: Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi just revealed that an attorney told them today that an Epstein bodyguard was an intermediary between Epstein and the CIA in 2009. Release the Epstein files now !
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
up front duties costs, on the condition that they would be entitled to 100% of any refund if the tariffs are found to be illegal. So they front 20% and get back 100% if a refund is issued. Sounds like a total scam and a bunch of MAGA math to me. What do you think of that?
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…
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

We are so fucked.
CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”
WHOOPSIE DOODLE
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”

The Alligator Alcatraz stunt, which only existed for a few weeks, is now closed. We paid $400 million for this nonsense. We could have housed 26,000 homeless people for a year with that amount of money.
Shocking that 43% still approve!! We live in the dumbest (and scariest) of times.
Councilmember Tim McOsker Los Angeles City Councilmember for the 15th District
Doug LaMalfa’s (R-CA) constituents were in a savage mood at his townhall …
For those living in DC please sneak up there and unfurl a huge Jeffery Epstein face right next to his. You would be a hero to many
CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?
Trump now has the “warfighters” picking up trash near the White House. www.fox5dc.com/news/nationa...
This Missouri man is calling out his Republican representative and saying what we're all thinking- We need to defend the constitution and not a dictator.
We cannot keep our children safe anywhere. We have failed them. Younger people can and should be part of our government. They need a seat at the table because we sure as hell haven’t been able to fix this problem.
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Make Sure Everyone Knows 😊💙 HOLY S**T look at this: Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott just quietly disclosed stock trades a year late – worth $26 MILLION – on companies HE LEGISLATED. 😳 This is corrupt to its core, and he's hoping no one will notice. You know what to do.
Don't let this be forgotten.
Parker is a true warrior with relentless spirit ✊ Parker was shot in the head in June.. she spent weeks in the hospital with a broken skull and a blood clot in her brain. Now out, she's back at the LA Music Festival.
Let’s make it happen! @wdcvc.bsky.social
ohlookitsdenise Mark your calendars! Signups are coming soon. California is the land of The People. We stand together.
President Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.
The fact that Ghislaine Maxwell and her sweetheart deal overshadows the recent suicide of Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre speaks volumes; volumes that most probably will never see the light of day
Just like Hillary and Kamala warnings almost all turned out to be accurate:
Forgetting that gloves are a thing.
Absolutely LOVED this song as a kid of 5 or 6 years old. Just played it on a roadtrip for my Irish born boyfriend. He had me replay it 5 times in a row!
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
Brilliant.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵

The GOP is causing all of this chaos just so everyone will stop talking about the Epstein files. Never stop asking where the files are and why they're covering it up.
And TACKY!
Elizabeth Warren: "The one thing I want to remind everyone is when Democrats get in power again -- and we will -- we've got to change the rules. We've got to change the rules on the impact of money in politics and we've got to pass the voting rights act again and make sure there is true protection."

🚨BREAKING: Both chambers of the California Legislature have passed the bill in support of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan. The question will now appear on the special election ballot on November 4, 2025.

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO
I’m constantly embarrassed.🍑 🤡

Who's the next Democrat that's gonna come out swinging? Who's gonna go on the attack? Who's gonna figure out a way to get it done regardless of the obstacles in place? If you can't see that there's an insatiable appetite for fighters and brawlers on the left, open your eyes.
“My budget has become double for food shopping”
Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
This is the plan.
Mail-in ballots make it possible to avoid this on your way to vote.
“Are we such weak, fragile people that we can’t view the full length and breadth of our history?” National Park visitors are not keen on Donald Trump's effort to sanitize history.
Magats are deplorables. Yes karma needs to bite their asses hard. Disgusting.
Feel like one political party kidnapping an opponent should be bigger news
Paul’s right, it’s unreal how little traction this story has gotten. www.mediaite.com/crime/israel...
Senator Markey reports another scare tactic by Taco n his Cult. I’m sure there’s something in the Constitution or laws that makes this ILLEGAL! OH that would b the ECPA Act n Privacy Act of 1974! Sue the MFs! #arresttrump #arrestnoem
Why isn’t this discussed more?
In the heart of D.C., a citizen stands before the National Guard. This is what America stands for.
📌Consider where we are in our nation's history: European prime ministers and presidents are urgently flying into the United States to oppose the actions of its unstable authoritarian leader.
Russians are advancing in Zaporizhzhia oblast under the American flag.

D.C. TODAY…
📌 She lives in D.C. She used to work for HSI. She shares what it is like to live in (what used to be) our nation’s capital.
Heinrich: And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences a few things very unusual. You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. Soil here
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
Brilliant!
Newsom: “Wake up, America. If he rigs this election, you won’t have a country anymore.”
