Fearful Americans Stockpiling Facts Before Federal Government Comes To Take Them Away https://theonion.com/fearful-americans-stockpiling-facts-before-federal-gove-1819579589/
I talked on MSNBC today about the corruption playing out at the FCC. This isn't just about Jimmy Kimmel being silenced. The FCC is planning to change the rules to allow the company that shut down Kimmel to have a monopoly-like stake in local TV ownership.
Dutch late night TV has its take
Robin Williams on Donald Trump.
He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time. Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles. #StandWithTheSurvivors
Countries where people can't openly mock their leader: North Korea, Russia, the United States. The trifecta of countries you don't want to live in.
Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.
Also, release the Epstein Files.
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations â from television networks to newspapers â are capitulating to these threats.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesnât like.
I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and heâd still have a job.
Exactly this
Trump just designated âAntifaâ as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, âantifaâ is short for âantifascistâ. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...
Release the Epstein files!!!
This shit is getting real. This is so bad. Are we paying attention to anything negative to their narrative being disappeared asap. Everything is happening at a super speed pace

Accurate
Yes, release the Epstein files!!!
Hiding the truth.
Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks â which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.
Education is the enemy of fascism.
Join me in condemning this kind of statement and this kind of hate.
You forgot the quote marks around âleadershipâ
This you? Just two hours later?
Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.
The horror in that video you saw today has happend to children at Annunciation Church and in Uvalde and in Sandy Hook and countless other schools over the last few decades. If youâre outraged by the death of Charlie Kirk, you should be equally outraged for them.
The evil that men do lives after them
Release the files. Prosecute the criminals.
America is so screwed up
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK
Good morning. Senate Republicans said they wouldn't change the rules of the Senate and as soon as Trump told them to change the rules they are changing the rules. And not a small change! Obliterates advice and consent. Confirming Trump nominees 100 at a time! With one vote!
I keep hearing, if we do basically ANYTHING to shut this down âhe will declare an emergency & use Martial Lawâ. IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING!! He HAS declared NINE emergencies in 8 months! We have MILITARY being deployed into cities. He WILL suspend elections. The time for revolution is NOW.
Theyâre claiming the signature isnât real but Iâm going to remind everyone that 11000+ photographs and videos were removed from Epsteinâs properties by the FBI and this is the tip of the fcking iceberg. And I think everyone in the GOP knows it.
Letâs say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.
Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M â 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year. Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?
Release the Epstein files.
How does Scopes keep up?
Wait isnât this the war Grandpa Don dodged?
This guy has an MD and Ph.D from Harvard. Heâs very smart, very well educated. So heâs either a grifter, a sycophant, a psychopath, or has gone insane.
Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them aid and comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. TREASON:
President âGrab âem by the pussyâ and Vice President âI donât give a shit.â
While South Korea might be mad at us over brutalizing their citizens for having the audacity to bring more manufacturing jobs to America, itâs important that it not overshadow other aspects of the relationship, like our presidentâs support for the guy who tried to end Korean democracy and start WW3.
I canât think of a better metaphor for the U.S. right now
Theyâre eating the checks. Theyâre eating the balances
The opposite of originalism. The Founders assumed Congress would jealously guard its prerogatives, not abdicate its constitutional responsibilities
When even Rand Paul thinks youâre despicable.
Crying as I type . . .
One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.
Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
Dear Bluesky, Which two people do you think it is?
Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
Pettiest man alive.
Yup, theyâre definitely predators.
Oh, now farmers want 'socialism' because tariffs are hitting them. When the handouts benefit them, suddenly it's acceptable.
Blowing up a boat that allegedly had drugs in it and killing alleged gang members in international waters without any due process is pretty clearly not legal. Vice President of đșđž: âI donât give a shitâ A lawless regime.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Draft-dodging coward posts A.I. image of himself in Vietnam.
Yeah, moron, and whose fault was that? đ€š
I guess all of us who served after 1945 served in a woke military, per Cadet Bone Spurs.
If he didnât know then, he knows now.
The United States Department of Defense is a massive organization, with millions of personnel and thousands of facilities. Do you realize how expensive it is to rebrand something that big? It means new signs, IDs, stationary, etc. On top of everything else, itâd be unprecedentedly huge govt waste.
Someone needs to tell CBS that at some point you bend the knee so far that you are just kneeling.
Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didnât believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.
If there was any doubt, itâs not 100% certain Trump is in the #epsteinfiles. Release the files, prosecute the rapists.
Priorities.
Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.
I dont know why political news media is so caught off guard by the fact that a Republican president is in fact bad for the economy when thats literally been the case for decades
This is very accurate
BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.
Soybeans are collapsing because China isnât buying them. The farm economy is in deep trouble. Because of our needless trade war that we are clearly losing. Maybe farmers will wake up
So much greatness.

Our client is willing to say everything under oath Secretary Kennedy. How about you? www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-cdc...
And the cherry on top is the âdrain the swampâ voters somehow donât care đ đ°
Trump and his coverup crew, lead by Mike Johnson, are spitting in the faces of the voters who care about this issue. Hold them accountable.
Great news for everyone who wants to force the Justice Department to release the Epstein files!
Harvard University scored an important win against the Trump administration, as a federal judge ruled the government acted illegally when it blocked billions of dollars in research funding.
Trump DOJ is now looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns. Worth noting that the Nazis did the exact same thing to the Jews. Also worth noting they have no plans to ban right wing white supremacists from owning guns, even though they commit a vast majority of all mass shootings.
So it is the guns then? đ€ www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...
Respect women. Protect women. Believe women. Release the Epstein files. đ§ââïž
What exactly DOES RFK Jr do at HHS, because he doesn't seem to know anyone there
