"This conversation reinforced for me that patient, respectful engagement with good faith questions (yes, even skeptical ones) is essential. We won't reach everyone, but we might reach someone. And in public health, reaching someone can make all the difference."

The Trump Administration has launched yet another attack on Virginia's economy. This project was set to bring new jobs and economic growth to Hampton Roads. We need a Governor who will stand up for Virginia jobs and against these attacks. virginiabusiness.com/trump-withdr...
Trump's DOGE cuts have been devastating for Virginia, yet Winsome Earle-Sears remains in lockstep with his disastrous economic policies.
Between April and June, Virginia lost more than 43,000 jobs ā and we know who to blame.
Everywhere I go, I hear from Virginians ready for change and eager to make their voices heard. Come November, weāll send a message to the rest of the country ā that Virginia is tired of the chaos and ready for leadership that will move us forward.
Trumpās awful tax bill puts 350,000+ Virginians at risk of losing their healthcare ā itās not something they āchoose.ā Winsome Earle-Sears is lying. This November, Virginia voters will remember this devastation she supported.
Trump Admin is now blocking voter registration of new US citizens in their immigration ceremony for first time ever.

It won't matter if Putin dies. Leonard Leo (tied directly to Erik Prince & wealthy, mercenary, elite benefactors) publicly said in podcast 1/2025 that Leo's role in 47 Trump Admin. is to take Project 2025 & far-rt goals and "implement, Worldwide." So, plenty of like-minded to take Putin's place.
Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness. Dems should polarize this debate to the max. Thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Itās so strange that pundits are framing this as āTrump will ALSO use troops in blue cities in RED states. Ha, ha! Checkmate libtards.ā As if itās any less troubling to use the military in friendlier political climates. We should be against the military playing a role in US policing anywhere.
What weāre witnessing in this country is textbook authoritarianism. Trump thrives on targeting those who are least able to defend themselves, exerting control and cruelty to tighten his grip on power. To think it ends here is naive. We cannot let this go on any further.
Donald Trumpās mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists is a direct attack on Americansā health and safety. By turning the CDC into a political weapon, heās putting ideology over science and risking lives in the process.
California just secured a FEMA Fire Management Assistance Grant to help fund work battling the TCU September Lightning Complex Fire, which ignited following nearly 5,000 lightning strikes in one day.
Nearly three months ago, Donald Trump sent the National Guard into California ā without consulting the governor and despite local law enforcement having things under control. Now, justice has been served: a federal court ruled the president is not above the law.
Governor Newsom @governor.ca.gov, Governor Kotek, and I launched a new West Coast Health Alliance today to ensure residents remain protected by science, not politics. The Trump Administration has undermined the independence of the CDC and dismantled its vaccine panel.
Donald Trump's half-baked decision to hijack the California National Guard into his own domestic police force to terrorize people in the LA area was never about public safety. It was only about dictatorial power and his political propaganda.
Newsom v. Trump: a federal court granted our injunction, blocking Trumpās illegal use of the military for domestic law enforcement. The ruling is clear: Trump is breaking the law by trying to create a national police force with himself as its chief.
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought Iād say this, but Iām with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
Trump: Iām anti-war MAGA: yay heās the president of peace! Trump: weāre going to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War MAGA: yay Department of War! Trump: Iām going to make things cost more so I can pay for tax breaks for my rich friends MAGA: yay tariffs!
Bravo š NM!!
Pretty damn good campaign launch video from Paige Cognetti.
If only they would actually follow them instead of displaying them on government property.
Like a 1980s televangelist, Trump is now asking his supporters to send him $15 to help him get to Heaven. meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...
Exhibit 248,926 proving that MAGA politicians believe their voters are morons.
I question both the quantity and the quality of these people who supposedly āexpressed interest.ā
Looks like Kristi Noemās de facto Chief of Staff thinks heās lined up the kind of ājudgesā that they want.
They adjourned for a month to avoid taking a vote on releasing the files, and THIS is the best scam they could come up with to fool people? Who hatched this genius plan - Comer? bsky.app/profile/meid...
I know this sounds crazy, but shouldnāt the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?
Probably not a great month to go out fishing in the Gulf now. The US military might be your judge, jury and executioner.
Trump turns up the threats and intimidation on his Epstein cover up.
Republican men standing with Trump against the Epstein victims to maintain the cover up.
It sure didnāt take long for Jeanine Pirro to turn the DC US Attorneyās Office into the most incompetent, feckless, and ridiculous prosecutorās office in the United States.
As House Republicans & DOJ continues to block release of the files, Epstein victims speak out: āThe files contain the names of powerful men who have been shielded because of their fame or fortune. Congress - will you continue to protect predators or survivors? Release the files!ā
Republicans wanted full transparency on Epstein right up until the moment Trump told them it was a hoax and they should forget the whole thing. Then they dutifully complied, since their fear of Trump takes precedence over all other considerations. Predators over victims.
Has there ever been a bigger fraud than Tim Burchett? He talks so much shit on social media, on TV and podcasts about how heās going to stand on principle on one issue after another. Then Trump signs a hat for him or makes a phone call and he falls in line like every time.
They take responsibility for absolutely nothing. In 2028 they will still be blaming Biden and Obama for their failures. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Republicans: Fear of Trump > Justice for survivors
Heās using that influence and power to block release of the files. That is why only 4 Republicans will sign the discharge petition. Theyād have 50 signatures if Trump wasnāt threatening them.
Fox refuses to cover what the Epstein victims are saying publicly for the first time, but they are covering military jets flying over them during their press conference.
How much did that flyover today cost the taxpayers?
Awesome!!
They should not allow Trump to use them as pawns in one of his propaganda shows where he does all the talking, interrupts, and lies constantly. They can say what they want to say in lots of places without being around a predator. Where THEIR voices will be heard, not his.
He now lives the district currently occupied by Byron Donalds, which would be vacant if he secures the Republican nomination for governor.
Because he lied. And heās been a habitual liar his entire life. Pretty easy to find lots of evidence of that in about 15 minutes.
Trump and Republicans spent 8 months calling this the Big Beautiful Bill over and over like a mantra, but itās so unpopular across the country that their solution is to start calling it something different hoping they can fool voters.
Coming up live at 4 ET on Uncovered, Epstein victims call out Trump, troops to Chicago?, war with Venezuela?, Rudyās car accident story, Trumpās health, his crypto corruption, Noem on LA, RFK Jrās mess, Melaniaās Nobel?, Xi/Modi/Putin summit, & lots more! www.youtube.com/live/JFcurqr...
Follow the money on this scam. Miles and miles of prime oceanfront real estate between SD and LA. Iām surprised it took him this long to cook up something on it.

Massie: The Washington establishment is asking the American public to believe something that is not believable... Now, the Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're going to vote on a nonbinding resolution today that does absolutely nothing.
Massie: I'm calling on my colleagues: be one of the next two who sponsors this discharge petition. I think it's shameful that this has been called a hoax. Hopefully today we can clear that up. This is not a hoax. This is real. There are real survivors.
Davies: The truth is Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current President Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag actually.
Davies: And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an eight by ten framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.
Reporter: What is your message to President Trump? Epstein Survivor: Listen, I don't want to send a direct message to him. I'm already scared enough. Just pass the vote. Listen to us. This is not a hoax. Itās not going to go away
I am very proud of my relationship with Meidas Touch. These are good people. If MAGA Republicans will not release the Epstein files then screw it we will do it ourselves! www.youtube.com/live/kvJuX_h...
Daskalakis: There is a program called Vaccines for Children. It is the safety-net program that gets vaccines to kids. Over 50% of kids in the U.S. get their vaccines through this. If the ACIP says this vaccine should not be given to six-month-olds through 12-year-olds, the VFC wonāt buy it

The argument here is that somehow Florida will get reimbursed, which is doubtful, but even if so, DeSantis is passing wasteful spending to the federal government. $350 million in contracts have been signed for this two month experiment that collapsed under its own illegality.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
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.
Nothing says GUILTY like ordering a military flyover to drown out the voices of your victims.š¤Ø
Canāt wait for President Pritzker to order Cal Natl guard to red states to enforce gun laws
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"
Steps away from the Capitol, victims of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and sex offender, on Wednesday demanded that all people who received sexual favors through Epstein be identified. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Epstein survivors say theyāre compiling their own client list. āWe know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-ledāfor survivorsā
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivorsā press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?
Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

Khanna: "We're of bringing this country togetherāprogressives, independents, moderates, and MAGA supportersāto demand truth and justice. A nation that allows rich and powerful men to traffic and abuse young girls without consequences is a nation that has lost its moral core."
Rep. Thomas Massie: "This is a litmus test. Can we drain the swamp? Are there people who are outside of the reach of the law?"
Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: "Accountability is what makes a society civilized. Equal opportunity and equal consequences for all...The Epstein Files Transparency Act is essential. It requires the DOJ release all the records related to Epstein and Maxwell."
Epstein survivor Annie Farmer: "When the systems meant to protect us recreate the abuse cycle, the betrayal that occurs can be just as damaging as the original trauma...We are not going to be quiet. We are not going to give up. And I ask the American public to stand with us."
Epstein survivor Mariana Lacerda: "There are people out there who know more about my abuse than I do. The government is still in possession right now of the documents and information that could help me remember and get over all of this...I don't have any of it."
Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky Roberts: "If you vote no, your stance will be clear. You will be choosing to stand on the side of the rich and powerful, allowing money to buy your way out of the consequence."
Epstein survivor Jena-Lisa Jones: "Please vote for this bill to be passed. Please recognize how important it is for transparency relating to Jeffrey Epstein. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican does not matter...Please, President Trump, pass this bill and help us."
Epstein survivor Courtney Wild: "Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not so hard to protect me and my other innocent friend? Why was Jeffrey so important to the government, and why was I so insignificant?...Who is still being protected?"
Epstein survivor Haley Robson: "The government did not protect us...Unseal all the documents. We are requesting transparency. I am requesting that every single congressman that votes against this bill be ousted."
Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips: "Congress must choose: will you continue to protect predators, or will you finally protect survivors?"
Epstein survivor Chauntae Davies: "[Epstein's] biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an 8 by 10 framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close."
Epstein survivor Haley Robson: "I would like Donald J. Trump and every person in America to humanize us...There is no hoax. The abuse was real."
Q: "Trump said that this Epstein issue is a hoax. Can we get your reaction?" Epstein survivor Haley Robson: "Mr. President Donald J. Trump, I am a registered Republican...I cordially invite you to the Capitol to meet me in person so you can understand this is not a hoax."
Epstein survivor Chauntae Davies: "Epstein had a free pass. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president, Donald Trump."
Epstein survivor Annie Farmer: "We were horrified to learn that Ghislaine Maxwell had been transferred to a prison camp...She participated in the abuse...It was horrifying to use that we were not told about her prison transfer."
Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: "I was horrified when I found out that not only had Ghislaine Maxwell been transferred to a low security prison...This woman abused children...The possibility that she might be pardoned, this is not okay."
