I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
Not sure why everyone is doubting Giuliani’s spokesman’s story it sounds totally plausible and not suspicious at all
Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
He obviously knows where he’s going.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Fatality.
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...
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
😆
I’m afraid to get my hopes up.
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I wonder how Chump will try to distract from this. Invade Chicago probably. Let Fox cover Chicago. Everyone else pay respect to the victims.
CHICAGO…
This is never going away, is it?

He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Mark this day as the death of expertise at the CDC. All we have between us and the next pandemic are a bunch of horse paste eating conspiracy loons.
Me, watching all the militias and 2A wingnuts sworn to defend against a tyrannical government.

Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
Conclusive proof thoughts and prayers don’t work: he’s fine.
I think that’s likely. They’re getting absolutely destroyed by their Constituents right now. Turns out people don’t love the platform of kissing Trump’s ass at the cost of everything else.
Since the PLAGUE is making a hot comeback in New Mexico and California, what else should we expect? It’s not like the CDC or HHS is being run by competent, trustworthy scientists with decades of experience anymore. The purge of our brightest experts should make everyone wake up. I’m worried.
Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!
Masked ICE aren’t about safety; they’re about fear and evading responsibility. Demand transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition:

“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
The Trump administration announced that it plans to dismiss nearly all remaining employees at Voice of America, escalating tensions with a federal judge who had previously blocked efforts to overhaul the government-funded broadcaster.

What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
Let that sink in.

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.
Reuters knows Israel Is lying in claiming the camera on the stairwell at Nasser Hospital was being used by Hamas. How? Because it was a Reuters camera being used for its live feeds. So why is Reuters playing so dumb? Matthew Alford reads my latest article: jonathancook.substack.com/p/listen-eve...

On a serious note, he looks like shit. Why is he so swollen?
Trump & Kennedy, instead of attacking diseases are attacking the scientists who keep us safe, exactly what anyone who watched Trump’s performance during Covid, is familiar with Kennedy’s anti-science views, or read Project 2025 could have anticipated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
Just checking on everyone! Don’t forget this for a minute. #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinTrump
Excellent question.
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
the Meidas Touch people having an actual good one. I'll be damned.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Russia bombarded the Ukrainian capital with drones and missiles early Thursday, including a rare strike in the city center, killing at least 15 people and wounding 48, local authorities said.
I have a dream… That one day people will care about children the way they care about embryos.
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
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.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
This epidemiologist seconds that. We were pretty fucked post COVID even before your compatriots elected that orange turd again. Every person on earth has benefited from NIH & CDC research 😞
You think we weren’t prepared for the last pandemic ….
Whatever I had imagined the assault on public health and vaccines would look like under RFK Jr. is a lot worse. So many people are going to die as a direct result of the systematic destruction of our public health agencies. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
It just gets dumber every fucking day.
What did it, Iowa? Masked thugs in our cities, rising self-inflicted inflation, nonsensical tariffs, blatant capitulation to Putin, the daily assaults on our constitution or covering for pedophiles?
Republicans: Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers” Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”
There is only one political party responsible for gun violence in America. The political party that has done nothing to solve it. The political party that has blocked any efforts to solve it. The Republican Party.
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.

Between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the DOJ official who tried to extort a plea out of him with threats of trafficking him to Uganda, there is someone who committed a crime. But that someone isn't Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
