Last week, @julieroginsky.bsky.social & I showed how Russia used Nazis & white supremacists to influence the 2016 election. This week, we dig into how the Kremlin penetrated Fox News and other right-wing outlets Check out our series, subscribe, and please share so people can be armed with facts
Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But let’s be clear: workers built this country—not billionaires. (1/2)
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.
It is, however, remarkable that he has not made a public appearance in 5 days. We are talking about the most narcissistic, publicity-addicted person in the world. And his TS posts are definitely not written by him, so...
Did Putin bring poison to Alaska?
PRICES KEEP GOING UP
The most urgent task for Congress is to avoid a government shutdown on Sept. 30, when federal funding runs out. https://to.pbs.org/4lRR6By

Pretty certain this would not be happening under President Harris...
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet

She’s full of shit….
People really just need to laugh in their faces when they say nonsense like this.
Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

Oh, the irony if #DonaldTrump dies before Joe Biden. What will corporate media do with itself?
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
NEW: During an emergency hearing on Sunday afternoon, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan temporarily blocked the Trump administration's plans to deport hundreds of unaccompanied Guatemalan children. Read my live coverage of the hearing on @lawfaremedia.org: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/emer...
Must be some mitochondrial challenges.
We're ready to accept you're surrender, and your refusal to surrender is an absolute betrayal of our generosity.
A child. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/u...
Release the Epstein files!!!!
I mean ffs even the Supreme Court wasn’t willing to find Trump’s calls to state legislatures to try to rig the 2020 election in the “outer perimeter” of his Article II duties and they are willing to let him off the hook for anything.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
Trump’s Decapitation of the CDC Takes a Darker Turn—and Hands Democrats a Weapon Illinois’s JB Pritzker is leading a charge other Democratic governors should take up: In our America, we’ll make sure public health systems remain strong.
Dozens of immigration courts across the country have become epicenters of the Trump administration's efforts to increase the rate of immigration arrests.
I was hoping you had seen this!
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
Big Balls Has Unfettered Access to Our Social Security Data
Beyond the criminal liability question, I think it’s just bad journalism for reporters to assert or imply that these representations were made outright on the application—we don’t know that. All we know is that she signed a contract containing a standard occupancy clause w/ conditional language.
The government's colossal failure to respond after Hurricane Katrina led to major reforms at the nation's top disaster agency. Now, the Trump administration has reversed some of those changes.
Saggy needs bigger lips….
I suspect that Alina Habba wouldn’t be partying at a surf shack in the Hamptons if Donald Trump were on his deathbed
Republican Rep. Barry Moore was heckled so badly at his Alabama town hall that he literally left out the back door in the middle of the event. Moore didn't offer concluding remarks or even bid good night to the rowdy crowd as they chanted "Shame!" during his exit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
When will Congress start doing its taxpayer-funded job?
And so many NPS workers have been shitcanned.
Has anyone checked in on President Vance
I watched about 8 videos indicating that it’s complete bullshit. Wired should be ashamed for hiring Taylor Lorenz.
Yes.
First signs? We were talking about his having this in 2020….
This was debunked yesterday….
No way we gotta meet them where they are now! The funniest thing is it’s been weeks and they still don’t get it!🤣😂🤣😂🤣
She worked with Cleta…🙄
What is really going on behind the scenes with Trump sending military ships and personel to Venezuela? They’re rich in oil and rare minerals so what is his end goal? Is he engineering this grab of riches for himself?
Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!
Who should we follow regarding Venezuela? I’m missing news about what seems to be becoming something we need to pay attention to….
NEW: Judge Boasberg has GRANTED our preservation order for Musk's phone records in our FOIA case against DOGE. The request was made by the other plaintiff in the case - First Amendment Coalition - as they propounded the FOIA. You can read the ruling here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Another day, another Trump-friendly billionaire handed a fake job. Government by grift. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
House Oversight just served a subpoena on Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate to obtain things like his last will & testament, as well as video surveillance from his properties where crimes were committed. My deep dive into why this production could lead to even more disclosures. youtu.be/Lnj0FCZJNtY?...

Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.

Roy Cohn was his real dad. Taught him too well.
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
Having a song go viral is usually good news for an artist. But as politicians become more social media savvy and jump in on viral trends, how can musicians respond if they don't like the way a party or administration uses their song?
MAGA influencers like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk pretend Taylor Swift is turning into a tradwife, to manipulate their incel audiences. In reality, her engagement to Travis Kelce reflects feminist values — and could even be called a feminist fantasy. www.salon.com/2025/08/28/t...
Just the latest developments of the Trump regime’s sabotage of the United States: CIA top Russia expert fired, head of Center for Decease Control forced out (several other top health officials resign in protest), DIA director fired. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
One can hope….
RFK is using a mass shooting to politically go after drugs he doesn't like.
They’re going to focus on this when he is decimating the CDC and NIH….
This is just part of RFK Jr.'s body count. And Russ Vought? His destruction of the ranks of CDC (and NIH etc) are making it impossible for remaining staff to do their jobs. This is what he wants. As he said he wants bureaucrats to be traumatized. Does this sound like a normal human being? 5/
This week, they've brought the US public health system to its knees. The COVID-19 vaccine recommendations, the anti-vax crusade, precipitated yesterday's bloodbath at the CDC. The senior leadership is gone. Even if Monarez hangs on a few more days, the agency is now captured in full. 2/
Important.
This is fully on Bill Cassidy and the Republican senators that confirmed RFK. They know that he's a crazy and unstable person that should never be given the huge responsibility of managing the health of Americans but they were too scared to oppose Trump. Shame on them all.
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
One thing “journalists” never ask about this official human-trafficking: What is this cruelty costing taxpayers? Other countries are getting paid to imprison these human beings. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Other side of the bed: “You’re right. @hcrichardson.bsky.social is pretty depressing.” Me: “The scariest part is that Trump is too incompetent to be pulling all this off alone.” “That’s exactly what I thought.”
A compromised president who serves his master Putin. MAGA www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
NEWS: Trump installs czar at DHS to oversee U.S. “election integrity” It’s not just gerrymandering, folks. The White House is gearing up to use broader federal powers to shape the 2026 election in its favor.
More health care resistors please. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
I just had this conversation with Dr. Heidi Beirich 4 days ago. If you want to understand the ideology of Breivik and Tarrant, the white nationalist terrorists cited by the Minneapolis shooter. youtu.be/SYj7swi8d5c?...
Genuine disgust. We all have it towards Torres atm….
Torres’s body language says it all…dismissive, brushing away the notion of genocide with his hand…. Shameful.
Hakeem Jeffries: AIPAC SHAKUR Richie Torres: NOTORIOUS IDF Gimme more, friends...MORE!
Thanks to the @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social for giving a shout out to my tweet and following up with an intelligent analysis. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pId...
The disastrous Adam Friedland interview should be the end of Richie Torres's career as a Democrat, but we'll see the Democratic Establishment protect him and instead double down on criticizing Mamdani. The American people, especially the youth, are done supporting Israel's genocide.
He doesn’t care…part of the plan….
In Mike Johnson's district, not only could thousands of Louisianians lose coverage, health centers are bracing for a financial hit. They're hoping for additional funding to make up for Medicaid cuts. n.pr/4mCWGJt
Yup, probably seen our best days….I’m 54 and have stopped wanting to live to my mother’s age….I am also not looking forward to the next 30 years of my chronic pain and Fibro worsening….
And this is the world we live in. Tax dollars were wasted on this bullshit & Snopes has to fact-check it cuz it’s so unbelievably stupid. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...
RFK Jr is banning the Covid vaccine which is tantamount to mass murder. On day 28, I discovered the refrigerated trucks because there were too many bodies for the morgues. The whir of the motors when there were bodies inside is an indelible memory

"There are people mentioned in the story that Blanche did not ask about: Mortimer Zuckerman, Woody Allen, Steve Bannon, Mick Jagger, and Joi Ito."
I think Bannon should release his video footage….
I’m seriously regretting not getting there with my husband….he’s from CA and they couldn’t afford a vacation that far away so he’s never been…and he would have loved it!
Great but bleak @hcrichardson.bsky.social time capsule on the evil and the damage done. Fascists are getting the government small enough to drown democracy in a bathtub. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-27-...
Uplifting @jricole.bsky.social at least, on Americans for the first time ever seeing Palestinians as humans and Israel as the oppressor. I credit social media, myself. Old media always put Israel first. www.juancole.com/2025/08/amer...
Also via @jricole.bsky.social, damning look at Israel’s nearly 60-year war on journalists. Literally shooting the messengers. www.juancole.com/2025/08/jour...
Stephen Miller is pulling the strings. He is the one pushing Project 2025 through so fast. If there is anything you didn't know about this sociopath, it's right in here. 👇🏼
Read that last night. We’re living thru it with him and suffering for it….
