“My concern is that there is going to be a large outbreak of not just measles, but other vaccine-preventable diseases as well, that’s going to end up causing a lot of harm, and possibly deaths in children,” said Dr. Anna Durbin of @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social. (Published April 2025)
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
The President is begging me to call him to bring in the National Guard. I’m not going to beg him for something we don’t want.
A month ago, RFK Jr. called his CDC director “unimpeachable.” Then she refused to sign off on his plan to put little kids’ health at risk, and he fired her. RFK Jr. should resign.
A political scientist calls for impeaching five Trump Cabinet members, accusing them of wreaking havoc and betraying American values, and urges a “shadow Cabinet” to challenge their destructive agenda and hold the administration accountable. www.rawstory.com/trump-cabine...
This is feeling more and more like trying to bust open the abuse in the Catholic Church here in Massachusetts. If you're not familiar, watch "Spotlight". All the #Epstein documents need to be released
Davies: And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an eight by ten framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.
House members push petition for release of all Epstein files in rare show of bipartisanship
The White House & his cabinet members are protecting pedophiles. Why?
WATCH LIVE: Epstein Victims Press Conference in DC
Republicans keep re-releasing the same Epstein documents that were already public, while refusing to release the full files. They’re trying to muddy the waters to protect Trump and Epstein. Frankly, their voters should be furious that Republicans think so little of them.
A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration’s $2.2 billion funding freeze for Harvard University was illegal. The judge agreed with Harvard that the freeze was retaliatory and violated First Amendment protections. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/03/t...
"For so many years, it felt like Epstein's criminal behavior was an open secret." “We’re not going away. We’re not staying quiet. We’re not going to give up.” Annie Farmer (Epstein survivor)
NEW: The DOJ and North Carolina's GOP-led election board propose a deal that could disenfranchise almost 100,000 voters if they don’t provide additional ID information. The agreement would settle a DOJ lawsuit challenging the state’s voter roll maintenance practices. From: @mattdcohen.bsky.social
Most of my family lives in Florida. When they ask whether I'd ever move back, I often say its not safe for kids (citing shool shootings and LGBTQ policies). Can add one more bullet point to the list. flvoicenews.com/florida-gene...

A federal judge's emergency order stopped planes carrying Guatemalan migrant children. Attorneys said the rushed deportation effort violated the minors' due process rights.
If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency needs to end.
I remember when major networks would interrupt regular scheduled programming for breaking news. I guess CBS, NBC, and ABC don't consider hearing from victims of child sex trafficking by wealthy men important news.
Everyone call their Congressmen/women NOW and support these women. Demand this bill passes. Hold the rich and powerful accountable.
That disgusting flyover amplified their voices.
Trump was Epstein's best buddy for 15 yrs. He's so prevalent in the Epstein files it took 1000 FBI agents to redact the instances. He's guilty AF; a malignant narcissist who's been caught. He'll burn down the entire fucking planet to avoid accountability. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #TrumpIsAChildRapist
The innocent leader of a Nation would demand immediate release of the Epstein files. If we have become a Nation that cannot or will not hold rich & powerful men accountable for sex abuse/sex slavery of underage girls, then we have lost all moral compass and any sense of justice.

Trump only votes by mail. He's a hypocrite
This is all a circle jerk. If you run for congress keep your stocks, just put them in a managed account where you have no discretion. Every damn investment banker needs to do this. Why can’t politicians? We are a country run by corrupt shitboozles.
TONIGHT: Anouska De Georgiou and Florida attorney Bradley Edwards talk to @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on The #LastWord at 10pm ET. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
I watched live broadcast. It’s so chilling to hear the victims tell of their painful experiences, the threats to them and their families, and the denial to release of all the files. Why were military noisy Jets flying several times over while they spoke?
Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie held a press conference with Epstein and Maxwell survivors, some speaking publicly for the first time, alongside attorneys Brad Edwards and Brittany Henderson They unveiled the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act to force release of files youtube.com/live/kvJuX_h...
🚨🚨 Over 1,000 colleagues across Health and Human Services (HHS) have signed a letter demanding RFK Jr’s resignation. When your own staff lines up to say you’re bad at your job… that’s not “health freedom,” that’s just failure. #SaveHHS #DemandRFKJrResign #USAnotRFK
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.
Do Not Forget ‼️ #FKrump #ReleaseEpsteinFiles
What a joke— Fox is a known right-wing echo chamber & propaganda machine. Let’s remember they had to pay almost a billion dollars because of their lies! MarkWayne is as big a fraud as Fox “News” is.
32 USC § 502(f)(2) would violate Article IV of the Constitution if applied to support deployment of un-federalized out-of-state National Guard troops into a state that didn’t want those troops there, as with Trump’s proposed use of the Texas National Guard to invade Illinois
"We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American Eagle in order to feather their own nests.” It couldn’t apply to a better case.

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
It’s corruption, plain and simple.
Missouri’s Republican governor Mike Kehoe called a special legislative session to redraw congressional districts and weaken ballot initiatives, partaking in the new Republican strategy of a mid-decade gerrymander to secure a House majority in 2026.

Republicans in Congress are trying to DEFUND the Department of Education. That means bigger class sizes and less help for students who need financial aid.
"Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a coverup of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government - ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP."

This situation is no longer sustainable, these are not good people, their greed and thirst for power is insatiable, we have reached a Marie Antionette moment.
You need to include Thiel and the other billionaires who have financed The Heritage Foundation and their insidious Project 2025 plan that has destroyed our democracy and replaced it with an Authoritarian Oligarchy! They have taken over Congress and SCOTUS and thus toppled our 3 branches of gov!
It's not how much money they have. It's what they are allowed to do with it to influence politics, Fed agencies, Govs & others to affect, more times than not adversely, US lives.
This must change - TAX THE BILLIONAIRES at the same rate America’s Workers Pay
Stop using Facebook! Especially to organize protest. Stop using Amazon. These people created isolation. Remember, malls? There are other choices!
If they lived 1000 lives, they still couldn't spend all their money... but 2% of their yearly income could solve worldwide hunger. It should be a crime to hoarde so much money.
We are under attack and these $billionaire MAGA propagandists are coordinating and aligned with US adversaries to undermine our Republic and working class. Never forget
Republicans say - "No money for healthcare, no money for child care, no money for education, no money for Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid, no money for school lunches, no money for senior meals, no money for increasing wages. More huge tax cuts for the billionaires."
How many things do these three clowns need? Another rocket ship, another tacky wedding, bigger yachts, a gigantic cage fighting arena, child support for 37 more children with 29 different women. How they amass all these billions and do nothing to better society, is a tragedy. Greed is not a virtue.

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
well the epstein victims are speaking at a news conference 9/3 at 10:30 EST, so...
Let me just point out to the ICC that Germany wasn't a signatory to any agreement either, and yet the world tried Nazis for war crimes. Please don't spare the US from prosecution for international crimes.
Exactly! How do we even know if they were drug traffickers?? Trump and Hegseth just murdered 11 people on a boat in international waters!
We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.
Who thinks the GOP is a bunch of traitors?
We’re back. Join our next nationwide day of defiance on October 18. Trump’s regime is abducting immigrants, deploying troops in our streets, rigging maps to silence voters, and defying the courts, but standing up to wannabe kings is part of our DNA. Let’s get to work: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

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…
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.

With the appointment of Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, “DHS now appears poised to become a primary amplifier of false election conspiracies pushed by our enemies,” said David Becker, executive director of @electioninnov.bsky.social.
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
From trying to stop Republicans from passing a disastrous energy bill to forcing a vote on the Epstein files, our first week back in Washington is going to be a busy one. We have our work cut out for us. But Democrats are ready for the fight. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the week!

Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
In a win for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state’s GOP-drawn 2021 congressional map, ruling it unconstitutional for diluting the voting power of non-Republican voters. The map must now be redrawn in order to facilitate fairer elections in 2026.

He paid pal $30,000 to fly 20+ mostly 14-17 yr olds in for a “special photo event”, The Calendar Girl Contest. Girls came expecting modeling exposure & modeling exs.. Pal asked where was everyone. Trump did it for Epstein. Him & Epstein. Question: WHAT DID THEY DO FOR 12-16 hrs with 28 young girls?
The fortunate thing is that the victims who are speaking are telling us all those things. They can even name names. So we have thousands of voices that can give us all the details in a way documents never will. Don’t just believe the victims, listen to them and learn, that’s what we all need to do
Wealthy, well-connected, powerful men like Trump & Epstein used young girls for their own sick purposes & then discarded them like used tissues. Trump is an adjudicated rapist. He is guilty of rape and likely of a 13-yr-old child. White/Wealth Privilege is something else.🤬 #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.
"Everyone who comes before the court deserves to be heard, respected, and treated equally." Judge Taylor's commitment to fair, independent, and impartial justice has guided her throughout her judicial career and it's why we need her on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
