Today, people gathered outside the Capitol to give voice to survivors of Epstein’s harrowing sexual abuse. But inside the Capitol, GOP lawmakers decided to form a new subcommittee to reinvestigate Jan 6th and give voice to the insurrectionists. That’s violent misogyny, right there.
🚨 The fact that the media is silent on the President disrupting the Epstein Victims' conference with flyovers and calling them liars before the presser even ended goes to show you how much Trump's shittiness has become expected at this point. #JusticeForVictims #MediaBias
The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.
Cruz looks like a sleazebag, Pritzker has a kind of swagger about him. I don't know if I would call it sexy, but it's attractive and comforting. He feels like a protector.
Such an odd thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Federal judges challenging the administration’s flouting of rulings and SCOTUS’s rewriting of them is important and portentous. In other backsliding democracies, the collective action of judges (sitting and retired) has helped galvanize activism across society This is another solid step forward
I'm afraid some innocent children are going to die with these crazy policies.
Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.
They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal
He's such an idiot..
Which is hard to understand..he's a draft dodger who has called them suckers and losers. Doesn't honor them in any way unless it's a chance for him to grab attention. Don't get it.
That's crossed my mind too. But they are bad at some of it, like the prison video that was obviously edited.
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"
military flyovers disrupt the Epstein victim press conference
AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.
Clinton has admitted he's on flight logs, says Epstein contributed to his foundation.

I think so too. He was heavily into "modeling agencies" back in the 80s and many of his models were from overseas.

I'm afraid they've been destroyed. Elon might have copies but he's probably saving them for leverage.
Shame❗️Shame❗️Shame❗️ Immoral, pedophile-protecting RepubliCon members of the Rules Committee ... 👇 Extra shame on these disgraceful women!
Trump warns Republicans that signing a petition to release the Epstein files will be viewed as a "hostile act" toward the president. Hostile act? Like raping children?
How is that true since they give no explanation of the decision? This SCOTUS is so sleazy.
. THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . . ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ .
We do not feel the use of military force imposed without request meets this critera. It is purely a political stunt meant to change the subject from the Epstein files and sagging economic trends.
They should say things like "we welcome support for our local law enforcement but any support should be coordinated with local agencies & focused on long term strategy.
While obviously Trump's use of the National Guard and threats to move in to blue cities is theater, Dems need to be careful not to step into a "Defund the police" messaging mess.
Christ.
Perfect
I'm with mom..
GO VENUS AND LEYLAH!!!!! #USOpen
I love this guy
Lol
But many don't actually show up to vote. I don't know Maine politics enough but I think Platner is very plain spoken and I think Dems are hankering for that.
NEW: Nadler will not seek re-election, citing the need for a new generation of leaders. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
A mother is filing a $1 million claim after her 15-year-old son was held at gunpoint by immigration goons in Los Angeles.
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.
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
Hate to see either of these women lose. Both Coco Gauff & Naomi Osaka are not only extremely talented but great examples of sportsmanship, resilience, and grace. #USOPEN
What a strange statement..🤔
You guys see where this is going? Right?
I’m sorry, WHAT?
This!!
I wish people would stop blaming COVID mitigation policies for the acceleration of right wing extremism, and instead acknowledge the fact that we endured a mass casualty and mass disabling event that was mismanaged by narcissistic authoritarians who shifted the blame to marginalized communities
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Thank you for all you do to fight for democracy.
An(other) actual psychopath.
Yeppppp. Wrote a bunch about this! open.substack.com/pub/amandali...
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
All four physicians in the Senate voted to confirm RFK Jr as HHS Secretary: John Barrasso Rand Paul Bill Cassidy Roger Marshall They should lose their medical license.
Bill Cassidy violated his Hippocratic Oath by voting for RFK jr. and should lose his medical licence.
The chaos at the CDC wouldn't have been possible without Sen. Bill Cassidy, a medical doctor, providing the crucial vote to confirm RFK Jr as HHS Secretary. We should make sure he never forgets that.
Sen. Bill Cassidy traded the lives of America's children to keep his Senate seat.
My husband was pretty sick. He's 70, has taken him several weeks and still tires easily. He had an annual checkup and had some changes in his labs.
Only my older daughter had it before. My husband got it from a friend on a golf trip, daughters- Beyonce concert and an overseas trip. I got a booster vax and my husband isolated. So far I have avoided it..
Firefighters…a crew made up of indigenous people… Actively fighting a two month old wildfire…were told to stop…line up…and show ID…by ICE…
My husband and both our adult kids have had Covid in the past few weeks.
#Pinks #ProudBlue RFK Jr.’s idea to let bird flu run unchecked through chickens isn’t only cruel and inhumane, it could cause a new variant to jump to humans, which is probably what he wants. Stop this murdering psychopath. www.factcheck.org/2025/03/rfk-...
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
I have noticed that
But he's much smarter than Trump and just as narcissistic.
If I was Trump I wouldn't be having tea with him.
🚨🚨 JD Vance is allegedly “moving fast” behind the scenes to seize power as an aging Trump continues to brush off rumors that his health is slipping.
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...
Some weak sauce.
This 👇👇
RFK Jr. says you shouldn’t get a Covid vaccine. All doctors and research results say you should. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
Best campaign ad I've seen in years. As different from Collins as a person can get. I don't live in Maine, but I may just write my first check for a candidate in years. Make Collins concerned for her life as much as she's made us concerned for ours.
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.
😕
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
Sen. Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, we hardly knew ye.
Maybe those 1000 FBI agents looking for Trump's name in the Epstein files could have been put to better use.
Nope, immigrants working full time for peanuts and paying taxes without healthcare is more dangerous. The Gestapo wants to feel tough and powerful. White terrorists shooting up schools and churches every other day is mmh.Just another day.Guns don’t kill peoples even though that is their sole purpose
Their agents were too busy going thru the Epstein files deleting and redacting Trump’s name.
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.
It's Friday and still NO Epstein files.
Ridiculous.
Yeah - all upset now, but could have stopped it altogether. Knew good and well that RFK was dangerous and unqualified but didn't have the balls to go against Trump. I'll never forget him saying he had "assurances about vaccines" from Kennedy. How did that work out???
More gaslighting
Just because he won't listen doesn't mean we shouldn't say it. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. should be fired immediately.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
The look of a man who has made a deal with the Devil.
This is so 🤢
Maine is purple, not Blue.
Murkowski will occasionally summon the courage to go against Trump. She did vote against Kavanaugh and to impeach Trump.
Or they stay home and watch Netflix.
She's a sellout.
Long past time for Collins to go bye-bye. Her vote for Kavanaugh should have been the final nail.
The Supreme Corpse
Real slow so you understand.
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.
