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.
Rand Paul: "It might be ironic if in the end the protectionist flavor of the day - the tariffs we're putting on - brought together our enemies & ultimately led to the collapse of the reserve currency of the world... if you put a 50% tariff on Indian goods, India will become closer to China & Russia"

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.
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.
There is a straight line that leads from executing criminals without trial to branding political opponents as less than human who don’t deserve the same rights as the group in power.
"Long the envy of the world for its capabilities and expertise, the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows." This is very bad!

I'll say this about the Venezuela boat strikes, I appreciate how many prominent members of the administration are basically stating on the record that they are involved in a criminal conspiracy and should be imprisoned immediately following the collapse of the regime.

Could be funny, if it wasn't so distressing
Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."

WATCH — Sen. @ossoff.senate.gov : "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes.” He adds that RFK JR. must resign.
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.
Steps away from the Capitol, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender, on Wednesday demanded that all people who received sexual favors through Epstein be identified. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Ossoff: Absolutely RFK JR should resign. He should have never been confirmed to begin with. He is utterly unqualified. This is someone who has embraced every piece of quackery and pseudoscience that he’s come across.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different. Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.
military flyovers disrupt the Epstein victim press conference
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?"

Susan Collins is going down! I hope she is concerned.
It’s odd that the president would need to give an Oval Office address about something as arbitrary (albeit idiotic) as moving Space Force or renaming the DoD. I have to assume he’s doing it because he knows the world thinks he’s hiding.

DOGE is fully unconstitutional. And ILLEGAL. But no one did shit and just moved on. I’m just reminding us of REALITY.
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.
"Demetre Daskalakis was initially optimistic because Kennedy seemed to be going out of his way to say he wanted an open, collaborative relationship with CDC staff—and that he was genuinely interested in scientific inquiry." Remember those days?

Absolutely!
Collins stands for nothing. All you have to do is watch her waffle on every issue and eventually vote how the party tells her to vote. Time for the people of Maine to retire her.
How many treasonous acts have taken place in the past 224 days? THOUSANDS. We have watched TREASON on the daily 24/7 without delay or interruption. This won’t be changing. They MEAN to wear us down. They are highly effective. The only way through this is TOGETHER.

Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.

Debbie Reese, one of the most prominent reviewers of Native children’s literature, just spread incorrect information about Indigenous people in Texas. She wrote, “But, the state of Texas does not extend state recognition to anyone.” This lie’s been used to erase Lipan people fighting for recognition

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Someone just said DEI ruined our schools. Interesting because Massachusetts is number one where education is concerned and they wholeheartedly believe in DEI. Just ask Maura Healey, the only openly lesbian governor in the country #USDemocracy

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.

Book grift. I think she's wrong on two accts: 1. It's the will of the majority of Americans to have Roe, and 2. It's not the courts job to "respect the choices of the American People" in the direct democratic sense she implies. It's to interpret and apply the US Constitution and Federal Law.
"That is why I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it." Yes, there is a difference.
That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.

The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).
