I hope infuriated but patterns dont necessarily confirm that.
The dumbfuckery of this admin - off the charts
It's Time to Release the Epstein Files. People who fight this hard to hide something have something to hide. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
📌BREAKING: Florida plans to become the first state to end all vaccine mandates, INCLUDING FOR SCHOOLCHILDREN. 📌Read that again. 📌The profound stupidity and danger of this really can't be overstated. MILLIONS of lives are at risk. 📌And this: Floridians need to stay the fuck out of my state.

Ossoff: "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes"
🚨This U.S. combat vet was arrested for conspiracy to impede or injure officers after joining a demonstration against ICE — The demonstration was A MONTH AGO!!! 1/2
O. M. G.
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker TORCHES Trump’s demands that he “beg” for armed military personnel in Chicago: “I refuse to play a reality game show with Donald Trump.” Pritzker is OVER Trump’s bullshit.
“To be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing.” - Anouska De Georgiou
…
Pay very close attention. On the campaign trail, Trump promised to release the Epstein files. Now that survivors are naming him as Epstein’s close friend, he’s calling it a “hoax.” Miss me with that bullshit.
Ro Khanna says the DOJ disclosed the existence of 300Gb of Epstein files. Only 1Gb was sent to Congress and about 1% of that wasn't already in the public domain. Comer didn't release shit.
Ummmmmmm
Massie: I'm calling on my colleagues: be one of the next two who sponsors this discharge petition. I think it's shameful that this has been called a hoax. Hopefully today we can clear that up. This is not a hoax. This is real. There are real survivors.
De Georgiou: And to be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades.
Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
They paid out a billion dollars in settlements for knowingly lying to intentionally deceive their own audience. As their own internal emails/texts showed in discovery, they have nothing but contempt for their own viewers and laugh at them all the way to the bank. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
Planned DC flyovers during the Epstein survivor press conference will NOT drown out their voices. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Probably not a great month to go out fishing in the Gulf now. The US military might be your judge, jury and executioner.
This is not transparency. Nearly everything the GOP just “released” has already been released. This is a pathetic attempt by Republicans to buy them more time to bury this crisis. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Trump murdered 11 civilians, whether they were involved in organized crime or not, doesn't take away their human rights. Trump murdered those people and released the video to boast about it. It's not law enforcement or legal military action, it is simply premeditated murder.
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
Rep. Stansbury: “What we heard today is a cover-up. A cover-up potentially involving foreign countries and foreign actors. As you will find out in coming days and weeks, this goes all the way to the top. Because there’s happen to be a very powerful person who doesn’t want these stories out.”
SCOOP: Sources at the House Oversight Committee confirm documents posted by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna are the same ~33,000 pages of Epstein documents they received — 97% already public — and part of a broader plan to block transparency.
Omg. Brings ironic tears to my eyes.
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
See through it.
I’m old enough to remember when we had 47,000 congressional hearings over Hunter Biden allegedly making money off his father’s name. Meanwhile, Trump’s corruption, in the billions, gets openly celebrated.
30,000 files released and nothing new to report? This administration is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Smoke and mirrors protecting child predators. SMH. youtu.be/UagsB3U-goo
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
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.
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.
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.
Trump’s budget director Russell Vought wants to shred the Constitution by handing Congress’s purse power to the White House. It’s a full-blown assault on checks and balances. I’ll always defend the Constitution and the freedoms it protects.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
“I refuse to accept this is normal.” - JB Pritzker. Amen, governor. Amen.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
GOP and who and what they Represent......
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pentagon authorized 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges, per memo seen by AP, dated August 27.
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?"
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
😥
Are there any real journalists left in the WH Press Corps or is Trump just calling on MAGA Reeks? This is what happens in North Korea and Russia, btw. Congrats, America.
Trump just said he is “cleaning up” American cities at his news conference. He’s not wrong. With nothing else to do, National Guard soldiers are quite literally picking up trash in DC…
🤣🙄. Oh the rubes. Why not make it 1700 bazilliongazillion. We are the ones paying the money.
Mike Johnson refuses to put up a plaque honoring Capitol Police’s sacrifice on Jan. 6. Yet, Ashley Babbit’s family gets a $5M settlement & a full military honors funeral for her being part of a riotous mob trying to break into the House chamber. This country’s so fuct thanks to GOP enablers.
Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.

“LIKE A BROKEN RECORD” Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trump’s lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago — even as 🇺🇸 media wouldn’t.

It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.
Presidents Xi, Putin and PM Modi would never be palling around today if it wasn’t for the extraordinary foolishness shown by the president of the United States.
Unreal. Arrest these fuckers!
Nine former directors of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joined forces to warn Health Secty Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “endangering every American’s health." RFK Jr MUST be charged with manslaughter. Dem State AGs must charge him for killing Americans.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years That's not good news Tariffs are taxes on Americans That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...
When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
But it was foretold. People just chose to ignore it.
Business man, my arse!
NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
Republicans aren't running for office...their polls are dropping...their own base is mocking them and yelling at them at town halls... And yet they seem very comfortable and unbothered. Ask yourselves why?
The cover-up involving Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell has been going on for decades. In 2007, Epstein scored a Non-Prosecution Agreement w/the Feds that now may provide a “get out of jail” free card for Maxwell. I explain that Epstein sweetheart deal. youtu.be/OH7WlcLRFcc?...
Yep, inflation’s on the rise again. Must be all that ‘winning’ we were promised. I’m definitely feeling it in my wallet. Are you?
1/I honestly find it really strange to be on this list given so many of the individuals are household names and politicians/elected officials. I am neither of those, nor do I have any aspirations to become either. www.google.com/url?q=https:...
This isn’t normal, but then again, nothing they do ever is. And yes, this is fucked up, but so is almost everything else coming out of this administration. So here’s what’s going on. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the United States will not grant visas to Palestinian officials,
The Bondi family business. Charges dropped…for those with the right connections.
Foremost fucking twilight zone
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
Totally predictable and the rubes who will continue to repeat and believe. God we are a dumber country try than I ever thought possible.
Meiselas on GOP now saying it's the states' job to lower costs: So everything that happened with the economy while Biden was trying to put out the fire created by the arsonist Trump during his first administration, was blamed on Biden. But Trump makes everything worse, now its a state issue?!
#Pinks #ProudBlue If you live in GA., you better make sure you’re still registered to vote. Hundreds of thousands have been taken off the voter rolls, especially young black people. GOTV. ✊💙 georgiarecorder.com/briefs/georg...
REMOVE HIM
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
