Dems killing it on RFK today. Well done, people. Now start grilling your colleagues who voted for this crackpot
If we really want to “make America healthy again,” we’d have Medicare for All.
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
BERNIE: “You’re cutting $150 billion for rural hospitals. You're putting $50 billion back. That's not an infusion. That’s a loss of $100 BILLION.”

Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."
BREAKING: Senator Raphael Warnock just called for RFK Jr. to resign to his face.
Nobody who voted to confirm RFK is fit to hold public office
I’ve seen enough. Impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Dr. Susan Monarez, recently removed as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Trump administration is deliberately weakening the country’s public health and vaccine protections. This is a danger that should concern us all.
Agreed—vomited in my mouth a bit over being in agreement with skeevy Rand Paul, but he is spot on here.
I don’t think so RFK Jr, but we have the sickest Health and Human Services Secretary we have ever had for damn sure.
I am going to go with both.
A political novice's campaign to unseat Sen. Susan Collins is off to a strong start Graham Platner, an oyster farmer and combat veteran, represents a new pugilistic approach to Democratic politics.
Didn’t think Rafael could get anymore repugnant than he already was, but he just proved me wrong.
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
De Georgiou: And to be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades.
Yes, please!!! 🙏
More of this.
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
On this Labor Day, celebrating all workers, especially those who do the jobs many Americans will not or cannot do. ❤️🤍💙
Thank you Harry! For standing up and defending democracy and continuing to do so despite the insanity of Trump pardoning the J6ers. You are one of the best of us.
Thank you on this labor day!!
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
If Langford truly thinks Kennedy is following the science, I think he should show that confidence by blindly following all of Kennedy’s recommendations for his and his families medical treatment.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
Kristi Noem is full of 💩. Los Angeles resident here and we would be standing even stronger if we still had the many hard working residents who were going about doing jobs many others would not even consider doing and wound up kidnapped and disappeared by her goons while doing so.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
GCN’s social media is 🔥🔥🔥 Whoever came up with this one needs a yuge, bigly raise.
Love @nealkatyal.bsky.social but it pained me to repost this important info given Jake Tapper’s involvement 🤮
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Unfortunately but at least a few moments of hopefulness while it lasted. So not the person I want to be, but I’m over going high when they go low and I allowed myself a brief window to relish in the thought. 😬
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.
I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…
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...
Excellent question.
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.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
🚨Now in D.C. 🚨 “Hey hey, ho ho, millionaires have got to go!”
I've kept saying one of the most dangerous MAGA Horsemen is RFK JR due to the damage he will do to America's public health infrastructure and his promotion of reckless, baseless, and destructive anti-vaxx conspiracies. You're seeing it play out now, folks. Should be bigger news.
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
This is a call to action, so please don’t scroll. Veterans needed.
The Fuckwit Hellbent on Killing Us All
🚨50 shades of fucked up. No fear but much loathing these “people” in 2025.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
After the Wednesday massacre at the CDC, Senator Patty Murray calls for the immediate firing of RFK Jr, a public health terrorist. Enough is enough! We agree. Please sign this petition and share it. www.change.org/p/rfk-jr-mus...
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
Absolutely brilliant!
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?
🤮 Witkoff wins the award for biggest ass kisser of the day.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
"For those people out there who ... say, 'Well, I just don't like those people either' ... You could be next. ... This is not about any one individual, this is about our rights as Americans, and our right to have a justice system where choices about prosecuting are made without fear or favor."
I was able to get last year’s Covid vaccine at CVS today & was told by the pharmacist I would only need to wait 2 months before getting the new one, if it comes out. Might not protect me well from any new variant but I decided it was the best path forward for me since I’m immunocompromised.
Oct 25 2024–Kamala Harris: “Donald Trump’s name appears at least 300 times in Project 2025, and it is a blueprint, a detailed blueprint that is about the danger and the detail of what Donald Trump and his allies plan if he is in the White House again.” 👇
Just after SCOTUS granted it access to Social Security, DOGE uploaded a database containing the private information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an unsecure cloud. DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/u...
The John Bolton search should be a wake-up call to every American This escalation in the use of law enforcement to target political opposition marks a dangerous new front for American authoritarianism.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
And there you have it - “I want to try to get as much as I can.” The only one Trump is is ever out for is himself. 🤬
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines. I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.
F’ everyone who voted for this and still supports this regime.
I guess we finally found something Vladimir Futon is good at - lying through his f’ing teeth without a shred of dignity or remorse. 🤬
No lies told here.
💯 this! Fight fire with fire. #fightersnotfolders
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
And we need a hell of a lot more who can read the room! #fightersnotfolders
Thank you!
Watched Ali Velshi this morning with @deanobeidallah.bsky.social & one other commentator (sorry I am not remembering his name), who said: The line in the Democratic Party should not be between progressives & moderates it needs to be between fighters & folders. We need fighters. #fightersnotfolders
Hoping this is the beginning of the many, many karmic paybacks that are due for all who have chosen party over country and that this administration’s karmic payback arrives with a vengeance and without much more of a delay.
People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.
Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.
Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty? Ferguson: Yes Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview. Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking. Rangappa: Then why on Earth would you believe anything she said?
Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
All the replies to this thread are giving me life—thanks! I needed a good laugh after the FUBAR situation in the US gets worse by the day.
Message to the National Guard
Correct 👇👇
Miller is an arrogant, festering sack of f’ing hate. What a sorry, vile excuse for a human being.
Well done, @gtconway.bsky.social! Keep up the good trouble and please give my appreciation and admiration to the courageous young 16 year old girl for that brilliant sign! Gives me hope for our country when so many are failing to grasp the gravity of our current situation.
But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“
It’s probably just a coincidence that Bolton’s home was raided on the day some of the Epstein files are due to finally be released to Congress. Is this that lawfare I keep hearing about?
Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?
💯
That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.
Always read @gregsargent.bsky.social. ALWAYS
Where is Jake Tapper’s book about Trump’s obvious mental decline and how those surrounding him are covering for him?!?!? The orange clown is out of his damn mind. 🤬
Maybe he should have testified before the J6 committee instead of writing a book??? 🤷♀️ I realize this is is wrong but it’s hard to feel sorry for Bolton when he chose party over democracy.
What a dumb fuck—Cruz set himself up for that one. 🤦♀️ The people of Texas truly deserve better. How in the hell do they keep voting for this tool?!?!?
