'Disgrace': Fox sparks outrage by cutting off Epstein presser to run 'counter-programming' www.alternet.org/fox-epstein-...
The dumb fucker currently in charge of dismantling cdc and hhs
The dumbest , most corrupt and deadly state in the union.
It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace. Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.
If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency needs to end.
They are still being ignored. And when the conservative justices on the Supreme Court are as corrupt as the administration, what recourse does anyone else have?
Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: “Together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know who were regularly in the Epstein world.”
🤣🤣🤣
Nearly three months ago, Donald Trump sent the National Guard into California — without consulting the governor and despite local law enforcement having things under control. Now, justice has been served: a federal court ruled the president is not above the law.
Today’s news confirms it: Cuomo is Trump’s choice for Mayor. The White House is considering jobs for Adams and Sliwa to clear the field. New Yorkers are sick of corrupt politics and backroom deals. No matter who’s running, we will deliver a better future on November 4.
Over a dozen survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell gathered at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, pushing for a full release of the Epstein files. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/there-i...
“I am a registered Republican, not that that matters because this isn't political. However, I cordially invite you to the Capitol to meet me in person so you can understand this is not a hoax. We are real human beings, this is real trauma.”
So awful. A move that will kill and maim countless children, including babies too small to be vaccinated who depend on the herd. Also will make it increasingly dangerous to travel to Florida www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.
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.
This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.
Fox isn't showing the Epstein victims' news conference, which is both newsworthy and compelling. MSNBC and CNN are showing it. Fox is part of the right-wing campaign to cover up the Trump-Epstein scandal. Fox is anti-journalism. The more you watch, the less you know.
This is pretty devastating stuff www.youtube.com/live/q6fUosr...
The largest rally of Epstein survivors is happening right now. The system tried to silence them, but they’re louder than ever.
Trump vs. the law Use of the Alien Enemies Act to force deportations - illegal Military invasions of American cities - illegal Detentions without due process - illegal Declaring fake national emergencies to bypass Congress - illegal When you elect a criminal, you get a criminal presidency.
For the record: the Venezuelan strike was a war crime and murder. The military occupation of Washington DC is unjustifiable. The secret police grabbing people off the street is kidnapping. Our country has become a terrorist state. Don’t get numb to it. Fight in whatever capacity you can.

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…
Voters are angry and not letting up. Good.
Pritzker on Trump's plan for Chicago: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
Congresswoman Nancy Mace was visibly emotional after leaving a meeting with victims of Jeffrey Epstein earlier than planned.
It reminds me of the scene in Casablanca were chief. Reno was given his award-winning from the casino.
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?"
donOld doesn’t really appear well enough to make it to Nuremberg style trials, but everyone else who empowered him should still be held accountable! Every last one of them! Justice for his crimes against humanity should be served for our country to heal!
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie filed a discharge petition today to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Working with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, Massie now needs to persuade 216 additional House members to sign it.

Trump is in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Maybe he needs to rethink his pending announcement.
I bet he does it Richard Nixon two step, not admitting he’s a criminal of course. But what if he resigns and transfers, the presidency to JD Vance and claims health reasons and that he’s done everything he wants to do. Seems plausible.
This seems important… 🚨 Trump is set to make a televised announcement from the Oval Office on September 2, 2025, at 2 PM ET.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Saying Trump is a socialist is stupid and damages ourselves if anything, for many reasons
Good never mattered.

Man, I feel this. 🙏🏽😭
Live and Let Die was also excellent . And I still think OHMSS was a gem
Yes by invoking the 25th amendment in place after Reagan was shot on succession protocol
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
Wow imagine that
True Statement! Anyone else? #Pinks #ProudBlue
the thing about Zohran is he is really fucking good at politics and everyone on the Dem side behaving like he’s a liability has lost their minds I don’t care how you define It, he has It
My condolences to all who loved him.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Donald Trump is the most ruthlessly antilabor president since before the Great Depression. If the labor movement does not fight harder than it has since he regained the presidency, its future will be dire, Erik Loomis writes.

First roe v wade, then marriage equality, and then birth control. Next women’s voting rights. Then only voting allowed for landowners/homeowners. Then only for those who own corporations.
We are already suing Ohio.

Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built America’s middle class.

The handmaid’s Tale
BREAKING - The Polish millionaire CEO who snatched a hat from a child on live TV at the US Open has admitted to doing it, is defending his actions as “first come, first served,” and is now threatening lawsuits against critics. What do you have to say to him? \
1912 - it’s there in black & white! But 110 YEARS LATER governments subsidised the fossil fuel industry to the tune of $7 TRILLION! Billions of people will die not because climate collapse is unavoidable, but because elites decided our lives are less important than fossil fuel profits.
Meanwhile in Russia: Zakhar Prilepin explained that regardless of any ceasefire, Russia will eventually resume its efforts to take all of Ukraine. He scoffed at Trump's peacekeeping proposals and emphasized that Russia will never be friends with America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKrS...

What landfill did he find her in?
Rudy Giuliani has been released from hospital after doctors realized he just looks like that
Bastid.
They are the same kind of people who told Jews on their way "to the showers" their belongings would be waiting for them when they came back. That kind of people.
Who is the next Teddy Roosevelt to course correct the nation?
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Good and if I recall Jack Daniels manufactured in the state of Tennessee. That supported Donald Trump. FAFO.
Remember the Kevin Kline movie ‘Dave’ ?
I smelled DUI
He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
The Pentagon is hanging in a place of honor the portrait of a man responsible for the deaths of more Americans than died in Pearl Harbor, 9/11, D-Day, Iwo Jima, Fallujah, Korea, and Vietnam combined. Nothing has cost more American lives than traitors hellbent on depriving others of rights.
Alex Schiller Lol Missouri's GSP for 2023 was $348 billion. $210 billion comes from that little blue dot. That's nearly 2/3 of the entire state economy. Every one of these red states is like the roommate who won't help with the deposit, buy furniture, or clean, but demands the bigger bedroom.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Mark Knoller. I sought him out in my young reporter days and just marveled at his encyclopedic mind. There won’t be anyone like him, we need more of him. 🙏 www.cbsnews.com/news/mark-kn...
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
