I stand 100% with Dem Rep Maxine Waters, who has called for the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Donald Trump from Office. Let’s get his ass out of the White House, before he destroys the rest of America.
One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.”
Good.
Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
This lawless violence by ICE must be stopped!
RFK Jr looks like he’s been sampling the diseases at the CDC
I think the VA is in the process of closing VA clinics across the country. Why do I say That ? All my future Appointments are not 17 miles away as normal , they are 50 & 70 miles away at VA Hospitals not local clinics. The Sneaky Bastards are Distorting the VA Healthcare
GREAT IDEA!
History of untreated mental illness...
Not sure which we worship more Money or Guns. Seems a close race. www.thegodpodcast.com/p/thou-shalt...
If you are against gun control, you are responsible for these deaths.

We are really fired up in Iowa to get back to being Blue! The super majority in Iowa’s Senate has been broken! Congrats to Catelin Drey!
oh shit, a state prosecutor may actually do the thing

Fun fact: ALL of legacy media has been WHOLLY owned by right wing billionaire acquisition broligarchs since 2022. There hasnt been a news channel, newspaper, or social media platform NOT owned by a trump donor for 3 years now, and they will NEVER tell the truth again
1/2 More reasons to keep your vaccines up to date The shingles shot doesn’t just stop pain…it's associated with a significant reduction your risk of dementia including Alzheimer’s by as much as 35%. Protect your mind while you protect your body. Influenza vax? 30-40% reduction. Pneumococcal? 2--30%
💯 agree
Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.

Free healthcare for all!
Independent nationwide redistricting is my choice!
WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."
As a #USNavy #Veteran I have never been so disgusted and embarrassed. The commander in chief TACO47 ordering our troops to debase themselves for anyone, let alone an enemy of our country and an international indicted wars criminal is beyond excuse. #AmericaLaughingStock
We are the force for change. We have to act like it.
Operation “Get him to stroke out” is in full swing.
I teamed up with @repdexteror.bsky.social to introduce the CLEAR ID Act because ICE shouldn't be allowed to hide behind masks and unmarked cars—especially not on the taxpayer’s dime. (1/2)
Hell yeah!
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
🚨 You won’t find this on US government sanctioned media.
I think high school health classes should include firearm safety, including an ER doctor who can describe gunshot wounds.
Sounds like Alabama. Anyone who purchases any of these semi-automatic high powered rifles should be forced to watch hours of footage showing the aftermath of mass shootings using the gun they're purchasing. If women are forced to watch abortions, this is only fair for guns.
The New York City mass shooter had been diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses and had been the subject of two "mental health holds" in Las Vegas, but none of that limited his legal right to own firearms.
Russia accidentally admits what it denied for three years: war is breaking its economy Russia just admitted something it has spent three years denying: the war is breaking its economy. According to Russian Finance Ministry data euromaidanpress.com/2025/08/08/r...
See our power!
Front Page of the Day: He will not be deterred. #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files
Yet, people keep voting for Republicans. Our 1st amendment has been so perverted by Fox “news” that it’s a damn joke. We don’t have a 1st amendment anymore, what we have is a Constitutional right for our “media” to knowingly and willingly lie to anyone at anytime with zero fucking consequences.
#BlameRepublicans for all of this.
Another depraved repug. Lock em all up

One thing I think about a lot lately is how more than a million people died in this country from Covid and we had no public mourning and just capitalist demands to get back to work and shopping and it’s no wonder everyone forgot that Trump KILLED PEOPLE with how badly he botched the response.

Thou Shalt Redact The Names of Epstein's Victims, Not His Accomplices.
Fiery words by @govpritzker.illinois.gov this morning 🔥🔥🔥 THIS is the Dem leadership we need a LOT MORE of. To the current "leadership": If you can't keep up, step aside.
Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.
Good morning my fine & free fellow Americans, I encourage you to encourage, educate, & inspire other Americans. Help spread the word that a revolution is on the rise. This country ain't gonna fix itself. It's our duty, our responsibility, & our obligation. Revolution is the solution to tyranny.
2/2 Real power comes from coordinated, relentless pressure...calls...votes...local action...that flips seats and scares politicians. A hashtag without a hammer is just a wish. You want change? Aim smart, strike where it counts... and make them bleed politically...not just trend.
The Culinary Workers Union representing 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada has achieved a historic victory on the Las Vegas Strip. For the first time in its 90-year history, all major casinos on the Strip are unionized.
I love this. We are going to see more heroes stepping up
William Barr oversaw the DOJ when Epstein died under the most “convenient” circumstances imaginable. Broken cameras, sleeping guards, and a cellmate mysteriously removed. Barr called it “a perfect storm of screwups.” No serious person believes that. It reeks of cover-up rot!
Like what you are saying, you give me hope! Thanks!
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Keep in mind that if the most powerful leaders and members of the press will coverup the rape of children, they will lie to us about anything and everything. Sorry for the direct and depressing commentary, but that's where I am at the moment, and it's not a good place
Can we independently raise enough funds for PBS?

Everyone needs to go to Substack & read this NOW
He's getting ready to pardon her. If she's released in Florida, she could be rearrested on state charges, as she ran her underage racket there. If she's released in Texas, she can simply hop a plane to London and be out of reach of the US justice system within hours.
“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell
He continues his unqualified quackery...
BooksRBetter!
Uh oh 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Whoa!
The President is a r*pist who is going to let his collaborator free. To hell with anyone who still supports him.
Happening now: The Senate is voting on Emil Bove’s nomination to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...
The current political climate hits different when you realize that the chaos, the blatant disregard of the law and the incompetence of this government are just strategies to make us distrust the government so they can privatize everything and make their friends richer.
TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s meteorological agency issued a tsunami alert for Japan’s Pacific coast, upgrading an earlier advisory stemming from the powerful, magnitude 8.0 quake near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.
STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”
It’s past time for US citizens to fight back. And I mean fight. I don’t mean complain or protest. I mean literally what I’m saying. When ICE Nazis will realize they are outnumbered 1000 to 1.
Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a six‑week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17‑year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesn’t make you furious, you’re not awake.

Breaking news: Trump already knew he was in the Epstein file. And so did Clinton. Let the chips fall.

"Suicide" like her boyfriend's, you mean?
A win! A federal judge has just blocked part of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that aimed to restrict Medicaid funding. Judge Indira Talwani, ruling from the District of Massachusetts, ordered the Trump administration to continue Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood health centers.
