WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
RFK Jr cut half a billion dollars in research funding for mRNA vaccines. He & Marty Makary claim mRNA vaccines are âriskyâ so theyâll shift to âtraditional, olderâ vaccine tech thatâs âsafer.â Guess what? We used to immunize people by blowing powdered smallpox scabs up their noses. 1/
Excellent work by Chicagoâs mayor.
Narrative buster: NYT finds that DC arrests were up only 13% over the previous two weeks and that the biggest change has been more arrests for minor infractions like smoking weed in a public place. (This does not include immigration abductions.) (Gift link.) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
I simply hate RFK Jr., hate Trump for imposing him on us, hate GOP sycophants in Congress for choosing their personal gain over their country (and our health).
𧾠I know it's ridiculous, but when he's talking mitochondrial challenges & inflammation, he's again referring to his idea of vaccine-induced autism. Let me explain.
Itâs misnamed a religious exemption. It shouldnât be allowed. Incredibly stupid parents playing politics with the lives of their children (and now yours)
Treating everything as a PR problem & an inability to govern is SO on brand for MAGAts in the Trump "administration". Incompetent. Short-sighted. Performative. Shallow. Dangerous. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...
He is by far the stupidest president in our history & his supporters are truly deplorable. HRC called it years ago. I predict the MAGAts will blame anyone besides Trump for the pain they are experiencing and will continue to endure. They're that unsophisticated
He is by far the stupidest president in our history
Yes. This.
REALLY expensive method for collecting garbage. Way to go, GOP sycophants in Congress. You're a bunch of spineless fools. The DC occupation is performative nonsense
Quality take: ââŚand heâs running hugely negative on getting into heaven.â
Haberman is bought & paid for by MAGA. Access "journalism." Withholds information to curry favor. Normalizes GOP radicalism & authoritarianism for her personal gain & status as an insider. In short, who gives a shit what she writes or says on air?
Psychopath Miller just makes sh*t up & MAGAts lap it up. There may be too much stupid in the country for us to overcome
It's going to take 20 years to remove the damage he's done from our nation's capital.
The court system is not equipped to handle in a timely manner the illegal bullsh*t Trump does. We are screwed
Iâm proud of Illinois for its cashless bail system that doesnât favor the rich over the poor, and Trumpâs exec order is extortion. Heâs a mob boss. âTrump: end cash bail or we steal your money.â Thatâs extortion. And there is no emergency in Chicago, other than Trumpâs hatred of blacks & immigrants
And MAGAts are blind to Trump's corruption & ineptitude.
The whole Maxwell interview feels staged, especially with how aggressively itâs being pushed. Something doesnât add up, if Clinton and Trump are supposedly innocent and no list exists, then why not release the full unredacted files?
Hereâs what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwellâs sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
This. Maxwell perjured herself before & lied again (OF COURSE). Quid pro quo for getting moved out of prison & into a country club. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
It was a beautiful city, I regularly visit family there, and now it's a militarized mess thanks to the clown in the gaudy Oval Office.
Bolton is an attempt to distract. We already knew Trump is a petty, vengeful ball of ego. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Yup. Raiding Bolton's house is yet another attempt to distract. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
Bolton was anything but a servant leader, but no one deserves to be harassed by Trump for stating their opinion. Still, I just can't find it in my heart to give a sh*t about Bolton
Thanks, Trump, for the huge 18.2% tariff tax increase. Plus, other countries aren't buying our products & they're finding other places to buy from - that's a long term cost to all of us & lots of lost sales (and layoffs) at U.S. companies.
By February 1, we can cost 'em another few billion. Continue the boycott
Her kids are screwed
Yup, he's owned by Putin & itâs been obvious for more than 10 years. Too bad Trump's sheeple are so blind to the truth
The decor of his buildings aligns with his sh***y brand & shiny bronzer
Just another racist under Trump's employ.
Hannity is a complete tool
Only Trump & his brainwashed followers are stupid enough to believe anything Russia says.
But the grifter is still stealing from us in so many ways
Conservative talk radio morons are pushing the lie that crime in DC is up & "the libs" cooked the stats The cult is brainwashed & believes the lie. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
The felon is using lawfare to pressure a resignation at the Fed so he can appoint a sycophant. And the media pretends that his accusations are legit. The 4th Estate is failing us.
He loves pushing the envelope with unconstitutional edicts. And his pea-brain followers love to rationalize his stupidity and lawlessness. Nice try. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
President Donald Trump announced he will issue a new executive order as part of a âmovement to get rid ofâ mail-in voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Zelensky should wear a suit, with a pair of Depends on top of the trousers www.msn.com/en-us/politi...
If you donât think Trump is compromised, ask yourself how Ghislaine Maxwell got a meeting with Todd Blanche and how Putin got a summit on American soil.
Letâs be clear: the National Guard troops, federal law enforcement, and D.C. police cannot violate the Constitution or the D.C. Home Rule Act. Understanding your rights can help you make the best decision for yourself if approached by law enforcement.
40% of Americans are dipping into their savings. 37% are opening credit card debt. Millions can't afford their bills. You know who benefits from all this? Giant corporations. You know who just got a tax break to boost their profits? Giant corporations. WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.
CNBC, platforming OZ, who shouldnât have been confirmed. What a joke. The US linked medical care to jobs in the 1930s. Bad idea. We need universal healthcare, independent of work or income. And we can pay for it by eliminating corporate welfare and reigning in the absurd $ we spend on the military
We are disappointed but unsurprised to see President Trump once again calling to repeal the Pretrial Fairness Act and bring money bail back to Illinois. We will not be bullied by a President who is more concerned with his public image than he is public safety. endmoneybond.org/2025/08/11/t...
We knew someone like this would be nominated, but fuck! www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
He's such a putz! A humorless blob of ignorance, ego & bluster
Nah, it was fun to jeer Cruella as she arrived.
The puppy killer visited my city yesterday & whined about efforts to resist her ICE goons. She's gone today but the stench remains. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
These ass-hats met to discuss whether to release recordings of a BS conversation between Trumpâs lawyer & convicted sex trafficker Maxwell. Release ALL the Epstein files! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Jeffrey Epstein took the fifth about Donald Trump. What else do you need to know?
THE VICTIMS MATTER THE CHILDREN MATTER THEY COME FIRST Keep up the pressure #Epstein #PedoTrump
He's a traitor!
Comer's committee wants to interview everyone involved with Epstein's sex trafficking EXCEPT TRUMP. The coverup is SO OBVIOUS. Contact your rep & Senators & demand the release of the Epstein files
those are đł numbers... www.umass.edu/news/article...
The rapist windbag gets trolled by Scotland. World's largest offshore windmill farm is on the way! Love it! www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/scotl...
Yup. Spent my whole working career with pay equity getting worse & worse. And watching dumb fucks vote for Republicans
Looks great! That's a lot of steps!
I'm not on it, but try Truth Social and X
The public WILL be able to use the tunnel, but only if they can afford to hire one of the Teslas. Problem is, itâs going to be expensive and cater to the rich.
I don't think any of them are on Bluesky
GOP sycophants are letting an addled, aging, dangerous man lead us into a mess that'll take a decade to fix. Even the person who ran Bush's Southern California campaign can see it thehill.com/opinion/camp...
Maybe she'll end up like Epstein did the last time Trump was president. Less security might make it easier for her to commit suicide
Thanks, TACO. "...the actual economic growth rate in the first six months of 2025 was barely half what the Bureau of Economic Analysis projected in November 2024, while core inflation came in about a third higher than projections." My gosh MAGA is stupid. www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...
It sure looks like a quid pro quo is in the works. She's a convicted felon who abused little girls. Trump is desperately trying to spin the Epstein scandal/crimes but he's failing. But we must stay on point & demand they release the files, no matter what BS spin he tries.
Absolute corruption. Don't let MAGA get away with this. Call your reps & Senators - demand transparency and accountability. Release the Epstein files & hold everyone involved accountable www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Trump & his subs fired so many people that Fed Reserve chairman Powell expressed worry that the inflation data is flawed. More fraud & spin by the grifters
This keeps happening.
The blatant racism is sickening. Republicans who support this are not just complicit, they might as well wear hoods and robes
I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
They chanted Blood & Soil in Charlottesville in 2017 and MAGA was fine with it. Vance just dresses the hate up in an attempt to legitimize it & perhaps appeal to independents. But he is pure, self-serving evil
If the Epstein scandal takes down Trump, (unlikely) we're still screwed. Vance is a horrible racist. If you're pressed for time, listen from 18:30 till about 23:00. He's as bad as the Nazis. A white supremacist who can dress up hate in political verbiage that fools MAGAts. youtu.be/6mHrEx0pNIM?...
F-ing TACO
REPUBLICAN REP. MASSIE: âIs the political pain Speaker Johnson is talking about that somebody in our party will be embarrassed by whatâs in those files? Thatâs not a good excuse.â #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Of the cultural icons who've passed away recently, this one hurts the most. I think I'll console myself by listening to "The Masochism Tango." Seems appropriate for the times we live in. www.npr.org/2025/07/27/8...
Read this thread. The racism and hypocrisy of Trump 2.0 is completely unAmerican.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The petty little twit can't help himself. But this will reignite humorous posts about SharpieGatehttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/25/noaa-officials-leave-trump-sharpiegate
Citizens United, gerrymandering, racism, misogyny, "Christian" nationalism
He and his advisors are just f-ing stupid. Yet regular Americans (many of whom voted for the dimwit) will pay the price. And this type of response to Trumpâs tax increase (aka tariffs) will happen around the world. China will gain in influence bigly. alaen.substack.com/p/how-trumps...
The petty little twit canât help himself.
Blanche is acting like Trumpâs personal attorney. Itâs just part of the coverup. If they wanted truth, not self-serving lies from Maxwell, theyâd have her deposed by agents who actually worked the case. What a farce!
Bessent says Trump's tariffs will generate $300 billion in 2025. Deutsche Bank says Americans are paying nearly all of it. IT'S A TRUMP TAX. www.businessinsider.com/tariffs-pric...
Stephen Colbert's show is gonna be fun for the next 10 months www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-r...
Anti-vax mouthpiece gets measles, doesn't report it, travels to California while likely contagious, then delivers disinformation to GOP dimwits at a Senate hearing. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
To the geniuses who think Medicaid work requirements are "common sense," Georgia's experience shows that it costs a veritable sh*tload to administer. The GOP allocated $100 million for the entire country for tracking; Georgia spent that all by themselves. www.propublica.org/article/geor...
Trump's getting caught & so will those who ordered the coverup. Awesome work by Allison Gill
What a blowhard. Bessent tries to stop the dumbass from tanking the market & Orange Clown's fragile, inflated ego lashes out. Dumbest, most corrupt & dangerous prez ever.
This is one where I needed a laugh emoji.
People will die, who would have lived. The brain drain is real. Scientists are being recruited by other countries. Vital research is canceled. Because of politics & Trump's stupidity. China will dominate the world because of one man's pettiness & ignorance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Bondo is on video admitting there âare tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with little kids - child porn.â Why hasnât it been released? Dick Durbin says 1000+ FBI agents were told to comb through stuff looking for info about Trump. Itâs SO OBVIOUS itâs a Trump coverup youtu.be/UQAOwgjZdHg?...
David Ellison & Skydance have already agreed to give the Pedophile Of The US $20 million in free advertising "PSA's" - in addition to the $16 million payoff by Paramount. www.thewrap.com/trump-elliso...
Maybe Colbert should sue Paramount/CBS for malicious editing. That BS worked for the Pedophile Of The US
Which makes them think we give a f**k about their politics, why?
I'm hoping this time is different. Trump clearly instructed Bondi to bury the truth of the Epstein files & even his cult members can see it
The GOP didn't just cut $9 billion, they rescinded money Congress had already approved for the next 2 fiscal years. We won't see a bipartisan budget deal anytime soon. GOP has no integrity.
