it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine

Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files

From retired General Mark Hertling on Air Force plans to honor Ashli Babbitt @markhertling.bsky.social
listen he cannot officially be declared un-dead until his caddie casually drops a ball on the green after he shanks one into the woods sorry I don't make the rules here
Even if he drops, I have nightmares that his acolytes will somehow keep his nose alive, like in the movie Sleeper, just so they can keep his magats worshipping him.
Liberals: “We could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; ‘thoughts and prayers’ isn’t enough.” Republicans: “Outrage! Disgrace! They’re attacking prayer.” There’s no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.
Good.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
NEW: Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law a new, deeply gerrymandered congressional map that disenfranchises voters of color for political gain. All voters deserve to be heard. This is an affront to our democracy.
Fire RFK Jr. now.
Our leaders in Washington could learn a thing or two from some of the best elementary school students here in Illinois.
Thank you, Mayor Frey 💔
Nailed it again. 👏 👏👏
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? “Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”
When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.
One of the firefighters arrested is an Oregonian. My office has been in touch with his lawyer who says he can't locate his client. My office is working to get more information on his whereabouts ASAP.
CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.
Training? Really? He's spent most of his time in office on vaca on the taxpayer's dime. How in the world is that training? Tho I guess since 🍊💩 spends a lot of his time golfing on taxpayer's dime, he thinks that's all there is to it.
ICE took 2 firefighters OFF THE FUCKING FIRE LINE!?
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying.” Thoughts and prayers won’t stop gunmen with assault weapons or keep our kids safe. Banning assault weapons will.
For so many parents, the images out of Minnesota are like watching their worst nightmare. And our kids have to live that nightmare. Every day. We must act. And the cowards who refuse should be voted out.
Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is headed to the Ocean State, likely to spout talking points about how Trump is “putting workers first.” She should try telling that to the thousands of union workers who Trump just fired through his stop-work order on a nearly complete wind farm in Rhode Island.
Reup: One thing many are missing abt Social Security whistleblower complaint is this: DOGE--including Big Balls, who has ties to criminal hackers--put ALL American Social Security data on an insecure AWS site AFTER SCOTUS GOPers intervened and let them do that. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
A high profile conservative lawyer (and the ex-husband of former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway) is calling Donald Trump’s political strategy what it is: “authoritarianism.” “We have never seen anything like this in America." trib.al/Av6VV4h
We're in court today fighting for the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a journalist who was arrested by police for covering a protest and then detained by ICE. The First Amendment is clear: The government can’t punish journalists for keeping the public informed.
With the worst of hurricane season still ahead, Trump and his cronies’ dismantling of FEMA has gutted the agency’s ability to respond to disasters and keep people safe. These brave FEMA employees tried to sound the alarm, so naturally Trump is punishing them. Beyond shameful.
Yet another mass shooting at an elementary school. If this admin would spend half the effort it's using to detain peaceful immigrants towards stopping nuts with guns, our children would be a hell of a lot safer. 😥
Rep. @jrclemmons.bsky.social asking @govbilllee some fair questions…
The only violent protest of note was the one he started on Jan 6
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
NPR: “A whistleblower says a former senior DOGE official now at the Social Security Administration copied the Social Security numbers, names & birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud lacking adequate security...” www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n...
Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.
Statement from Fed Gov Lisa Cook: “President Trump purported to fire me “for cause” when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.”
It's not going to happen of course, but tonight is another Goldwater-Rhodes moment. Has a single journalist even bothered to try & track down Speaker Johnson or Senate Majority Leader Thune & ask them why they're not doing their damn jobs or upholding their damn oaths while the Constitution burns?
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
The DC community is uniting to resist Trump’s militarization of their city.
We now have an economy subject to the whims and desires of one person, unaccountable to anyone else. Call it what it is: a dictatorship.
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
Today marks seven years since John McCain’s passing, a loss not only for Arizona but for our nation. John defined service, always put country over party, and was exactly the kind of leader we need more of in Washington these days. He is missed.
I will never forget and I will never forgive the people who voted for this madness.
🤢🤢🤢
I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
Standing with RI leaders against Trump's reckless attack on clean energy — threatening union jobs and raising energy prices. I won't be silent while the federal government undermines clean energy investments that lower costs for Rhode Islanders and combat climate change.
If Trump wants to throw the book at people who commit “violent crime” while desecrating the American flag, why did he pardon people who on Jan. 6, 2021 violently assaulted our cops with American flags-on-poles, calling them heroes and rewarding their bloody flag desecration?
The National Park Service was created 109 years ago to protect and preserve our most treasured public lands. Some in Washington want to sell off our parks to big corporations, but I’ll always fight to make sure these lands stay with their rightful owner: the American people.
She was right all along… try and imagine how peaceful and pleasant it would be living in the USA if she was president
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Imagine thinking scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists devoted their lives to deceiving you — but a reality-TV star, proven in court to be a lying felon, is your beacon of truth and honesty.”
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."
Corruption in plane sight.
“Jimenez Rosa, a legal permanent resident and mother of four U.S. citizens, was detained over what her lawyer believes was a decades-old, personal-use marijuana charge, which is no longer a crime in Massachusetts today… “I was just like, ‘Girls, we might never see your mother again in this country’”
They know they can't win the criminal case so they're sending him away.
Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.
Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.
The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC. All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC. This was never about "fighting crime."
May we all stand this firm against fascists.
Our democracy has endured nearly 250 years because people chose patriotism over politics. We must make that choice again and stand up for our democracy.
GREAT WORK, DONALD TRUMP, RAISING PRICES FOR ALL AMERICANS AND MAKING GOODS AND SERVICES MORE EXPENSIVE! IF NOT FOR YOUR NEGOTIATING SKILLS AND MANY BANKRUPTCIES, HOW WOULD WE ALL MANAGE?! THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK INCREASING THE COST OF LIVING SIR!
I like presidents who know Slavery is bad, not "WOKE."
When will men & the Republican Party—value women lives instead of murdering them? In America’s ER’s, women can bleed to death passing grapefruit-sized clots or die from infections caused by their own dead fetus left inside them—with NO ONE intervening. interactives.dallasnews.com/2025/texas-a...
"Worst of the worst". I don't understand how does forcing a cop out of the country will make us safer. This is the same logic that pardoned all those felons convicted of violent crimes on J6. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
America's drug dealers, child sex traffickers and serial killers have a special message for Donald Trump:
@hcrichardson.bsky.social You asked us to "flood the zone". This is my contribution.
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
😅😅😅😅 best trolling yet
ARIZONA: “(Voucher) parents bought diamond rings, luxury clothing, dog food, grills, mopeds with public education dollars….” A handout for the wealthy. This has been @GovBillLee’s #1 priority. #LeesVoucherScam www.12news.com/article/news...
holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
Forcing lawmakers you disagree with to comply with 24/7 police surveillance is a gross civil liberties violation. President Trump and his allies in Texas will stop at nothing to silence voters of color, including targeting the elected officials who represent them.
This is kidnapping.
Oak Flat is a sacred site to nine Indigenous tribes including the San Carlos and Mescalero Apache Nations. The Trump Admin wants to hand it over to a major foreign-owned mining company that would destroy it forever. Stand with our Indigenous nations and say NO. #SaveOakFlat
"I'm not going to be part of that process that gives [Trump] more reinforcement to harm my community and my people." Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier is being held in the State Capitol for refusing to comply with a Republican demand that she allow herself to be chaperoned by police.
The FCC approved Paramount’s merger after the company paid President Trump $16 million and cancelled Stephen Colbert. Did the payoff to Trump or the cancellation of one of his critics play any role in approval of the deal? I’m demanding answers.
It's pretty sad that even tho no name was mention in your post, EVERYONE reading it knows exactly who you mean. And concur.
Ugh. I was really hoping for that obituary today. I mean, I hope for it every day, but I was *really* hoping for it today.
"If you don't stand for the invocation, I'll have you removed" was what Lt Gov of TX Patrick said as he threatened to have Texans removed from the gallery if they didn't stand to participate in a prayer. We are not a Christian Nation & no one should have to participate in prayer. #Pinks
For Trump, DC is just the beginning. This is a dangerous distraction. He will continue to push past the safeguards of our democracy because his economic policies are failing, public opinion is shifting away from him, and no matter how hard he tries, he will still be all over the Epstein files.
Trump and the GOP are redrawing maps for one reason: because losing the next election will mean answering for their crimes.
So….What really happened in the meeting between Trump and Putin? Putin came out smiling; Trump looked extraordinarily uncomfortable and unhappy. Democrat legislators: start applying pressure. Don’t let it go by without challenging the administration.
WTF???
He needs to pay for the jet AND it's retrofit. Since it will be 'donated' to his library, with the time it would take to upgrade, it will never be used as AF1, only as his private plane. Cause, seriously, anyone who believes he'll just let it sit at a non-existing library needs their head examined
