UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.
Longtime NYC Rep. Jerry Nadler tells the NYT he's retiring. “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Mr. Nadler said, adding that a younger successor “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.”
When the canary in the coal mine kicks, you don’t shrug, keep working, and put in an order on Amazon Prime for more vulnerable birds. You get the fuck out of the mine, and work on fixing whatever the issue so that it’s safe for canaries.
There is a news conference scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, September 3, at the House Triangle in Washington, D.C., for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse. #Justice4Survivors #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale co-founded the University of Austin Texas (UATX) in 2021. UATX’s recent “Convocation Address” was titled, “In Defense of Inequality.” “To the class of 2029: you have chosen to rebel. Not against hierarchy, but against its abandonment.” 1/ x.com/uaustinorg/s...

JUST IN: Drew Ensign, on behalf of DOJ, reports that all of the migrant children have been returned to ORR custody.
These people’s incompetence is exhausting. Only silver lining is if Tr*mp is posting about this, we may actually have a chance at getting RFK Jr removed.
Epstein "had sex with Melania a full year before Donald Trump commenced his relationship with Melania.” New book by British journalist has a "passage in which Epstein is quoted where he admits this ”
Is #felon trying to stage his own death minutes before the victims of Epstein speak out on the Capitol steps? 10:30 am- Sept 3rd
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
During the 2024 campaign, Trump promised to cut energy prices "in half" within 12 months. As you can see from the graph, he's well on the way. Wait, no...he's well on the way to doubling energy prices, not cutting them in half.
How do the Bailey's feel about it? We elect the worst people to control our lives because they're well trained liars or, like Schumer, a seat paid for by lobbyists and fake long island couples.
Yyup. After more than a year without work, I couldn't keep up with payments that were very reasonable when I had a job in software. I've already sold everything. I have nothing of value left. I will have to declare bankruptcy soon. I hope I help crash everything.

There was something in the air today! Maybe it was the hint of fall… or are people finally waking up? All 50 folks in front of Tesla, Lyndhurst, OH commented on the difference - so many vigorous honks, waves, peace signs and thumbs up! Good energy all around! #Teslatakedown #MuskorUs #Ohio50501
It's pretty late in the wildfire season but two NWT communities issued evacuation orders this week. Meanwhile Tuktoyaktuk is dealing with damage from flooding. cabinradio.ca/256039/news/...
❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
The only thing I have to say about this Rudy Giuliani story is that he was disabarred for aggressively and constantly lying about Trump winning the 2020 election

UPDATE: DOJ says that all but 4 of the unaccompanied migrant children have been returned to ORR custody. Transfer of the remaining four children is expected at approximately 11:00 p.m.
Listening to an @npr.org piece on the cuts to science at @nationalparks.bsky.social , I learned a lot about the success of the Yellowstone wolf program. Reminded of the lyric “Don’t know what you have til it’s gone “ Rebuilding what we lost after this is over will be a big job.
I’m just glad there is finally an acknowledgment the government can no longer be given deference. There needs to be more momentum around that. About time we start seeing this. Grind those at the DOJ supporting this lawlessness down hard while we’re at it.
Unafraid to speak truth to power, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics Dr. Susan Kressly joins @vinguptamd.bsky.social on Meidas Health for a powerful discussion on truth, conviction, and her deep commitment to ensuring optimal childhood health for the nation amid chaos at the CDC.
Sure seems that way. It looked like some planes may very well have landed by some reports earlier today. Not sure if it was ever confirmed as accurate though. So don’t want to spread misinformation.
Because they're far more interested in harming these children and families to make a point than they are about anything else.
RFKJR flew on Epstein jet several times Partied with Epstein Bobby knows And So does Lutnick he was Epstein's neighbor
By the time DOJ files this status report, Judge Sooknanan will have been awake for nearly 20 hours.
In approximately 60 days, several major elections are going to take place across the country. I think SOMEONE at the DNC should be responsible for INFORMING all of the Dems in America how we can help our team members win. SOMEONE should be sending out links to sign up for letter writing, call &

A minute of peace from my paddle on Lake Winnipeg this morning. It was nice to get up before my neighbours and enjoy the lake before it got wavy. I hope you find it as soothing as I do.
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
We haven’t had a mass school shooting in the UK in my lifetime. We have the same issues regarding mental illnesses, etc… as the US does. The difference? Gun laws. Saying “it’s not the guns” is total bullshit.

Out for a stroll on another incredible Chicago day. This is ‘meet me on Milwaukee,’ a car free event in the Wicker Park neighborhood. Happy people & happy dogs everywhere. Remember this when Trump tries to paint an ugly picture of our beautiful city. #chicago
Still no word from the Washington Post about Trump's latest attack on democracy. But, it is now offering advice to Trump about how to effectuate his tariff plan. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
NEW: Judge Sooknanan now orders the govt to explain why it has failed to meet her 4 p.m. ET deadline to give a status update on the Guatemalan children who are supposed to be removed from planes and returned to Office of Refugee Resettlement custody.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

PARK POLICE HAVE ARRESTED A TRANS DISABLED VETERAN AND ARE DENYING HIM HIS RIGHT TO SPEAK TO HIS LAWYER!
Ryan is still in jail and being denied his right to see council. All for sidewalk chalk.

@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Q: Would you welcome federal resources going into a part of South Carolina with a high crime rate? Nancy Mace: I hear that DC is safer than it's ever been…I look forward to watching the videos of soldiers entering Chicago
No candidate interviewing for medical school who, upon expressing RFK jr's views, would ever be accepted. They'd be laughed right out of the room. And yet this man runs the HHS – including the CDC, NIH, ACF, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA? WTAF?! Remove RFK jr for dereliction of duty. Immediately.
For those keeping score at home, the Navy has sent 3 destroyers, a guided-missile cruiser, a nuclear-powered fast attack submarine and an amphibious ready group with a Marine Expeditionary Unit to the southern Caribbean. New @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/navy-sh...
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?

Some view it as hyperbole; others don't even know what the words mean. But it's all textbook. Textbook history, textbook political science, textbook psychology, textbook social psychology. Elementary stuff, not obscure. And it's happening in real time, right before our eyes.
He was sentenced to 63 months in prison. One of the longer sentences. www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/t...
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
Looks like the Federal judges are learning from each other's experience, which is a very good sign. Judges don't like lawyers playing games with court orders, and that's pretty much the #1 strategy of this regime.
Vermont Governor, Phil Scott, rejected a request from Trump to deploy the state's National Guard to Washington, D.C., as part of a federal crackdown on crime. This was the second time in recent months that Scott, a Republican, declined a request for the state's Guard.
Maybe he was given an extra special “gift” in Alaska that’s helping things along. Maybe it’s made for tv drama in the lead up to the hearings on the 3rd. Maybe karma caught up so we could witness. The winds are shifting though, no matter the explanation.
Judge Sooknanan: And I tried to reach the government. I have been up since then..and didn't reach anyone from the government until later this morning. And the imminence that the plaintiff claimed proved true, because, in fact, those planes *were* loaded. One actually took off and was returned.
The government has argued that the children are simply being reunited with their parents. But Sooknanan reads from a series of declarations that seem inconsistent with that claim.
BREAKING: A federal judge has *blocked* the Trump administration from abruptly deporting 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children — perhaps within a matter of hours — granting an emergency restraining order after advocates called the plan illegal + dangerous. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
We're back. The judge asks if Ensign has an update for her. Ensign: I have confirmed that the plan is to deplane the children and to return them to the custody of Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Sooknanan asks him to file status report when that's complete
Ok, the hearing is underway. Drew Ensign is here for DOJ. (The audio isn't great so I couldn't catch which attorneys are here for the plaintiffs.)
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.
A judge dismissed the case, finding no probable cause after Florida police arrested a man as part of Ron DeSantis’ crackdown over rainbow chalk ark memorializing the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
NEW: The Kremlin appears to have launched a coordinated informational effort posturing military strength on the battlefield in order to shape Western thinking and falsely portray a Russian victory as inevitable.🧵(1/4) isw.pub/UkrWar083025
We all know he can’t even figure out how to turn on a computer, let alone generate all these stupid memes. I continue to wonder which crackerjack around him is doing it.
CHICAGO…
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
The Environmental Protection Agency on Friday fired at least eight employees who signed a letter criticizing the agency’s leadership under Administrator Lee Zeldin and President Donald Trump.
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
Here is an easy solution to the Pulse memorial crosswalk conflict: The state of Florida has jurisdiction because the crosswalk is on State Road 527. If the Democratic mayor and city council of Orlando authorize and paint a city crosswalk 50 feet away, the state should have no enforcement authority.
Release the Epstein files.
Yep. We all knew what was coming. But people are funny and don’t want to believe in something so “outrageous”. Re: voting and fairness- I think it’s “both”. People voted for this, yes. And There is a lot of data analysis that shows vote manipulation. On top of the suppression tactics etc.
