Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
Roberts (through his counselor) making a point of saying that his criticism of rising threats against judges had nothing to do with Trump. Fascinating.
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker TORCHES Trump’s demands that he “beg” for armed military personnel in Chicago: “I refuse to play a reality game show with Donald Trump.” Pritzker is OVER Trump’s bullshit.
The problem is that MAGA world thinks it's awesome that people in lab coats with advanced degrees are freaked out.
once again, when pressed on where trump gets the authority to take an action, vance’s argument is, essentially, that trump is sovereign
JD - under the tutelage of a moron
That's not authority. Also, they're not terrorists, literal or otherwise, other than in the Dumb Person sense of terrorist = bad. Drug dealers do not tend to be ideology driven. Nobody is smuggling coke to take down capitalism.
Hello, Paul Weiss
Massie: Politically, it’s really bad for Republicans. They should just have this vote and put it behind them. 80% of Republicans support releasing these files. So, they are at odds with our base right now—particularly the Maga base.
This a really solid pummeling, and Farage has earned every ounce of it.
Moskowitz uses his questioning time of Farage to tick through everything Republicans are doing to cover up the Epstein files
SCARBOROUGH: We do Republicans keep promising to release these files and then keep releasing the same things and making fools of their followers? REP. ROBERT GARCIA: Because there is a massive White House coverup going on right now
Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda: "The worst part is that the government is still in possession right now of documents & information that could help me remember and get over all of this maybe, and help me heal. They have documents w/ my name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house"

Imagine going on TV to display how thoroughly you have gelded yourself. I'm having an involuntary sympathy cringe.
The whole nation must hear their stories. We owe them that, and Trump owes us full transparency.
👀
Epstein Survivor presser ends and Trump immediately calls it “a Democratic hoax.” RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
Trump says the Epstein victims are pushing a hoax and what they have to say is irrelevant. Proud day to be a Republican! bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Trump says the BS they’ve released so far is enough. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
A pathological liar
That potentially dramatic turn in the tariff saga comes after a federal appeals court ruled on Friday that Trump unlawfully leaned on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose across-the-board duties on countries.
The fact that nobody is talking about how trump said garbage bags flying out of his window was "AI" and didn't happen, even though his White House confirmed it DID happen, is why we can't have nice things. It's a firehose of insanity.
More than 1,000 current and former employees of the US Department of Health and Human Services wrote a letter to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday, arguing that his leadership has “put the health of all Americans at risk” and demanding his resignation.
Trump’s feelings are hurt. He thought they were his friends.
Meanwhile in New York someone has dressed up as Trump in a hospital gown with an IV infusion of bleach. *Chef's kiss 😘👌
Mesmerized is not exactly the right word to describe it.
I see Ronny started Happy Hour early again.
Moron
Irony here is that literally nobody actually in fucking public health said that, it was just clout-seeking morons on twitter who went crazy about it
More framing like this, please www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Brilliant.
Another and another older republican man thinking about homosexual men my my !!
Weirdos
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
Russia, Russia, Russia!! HOAX!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The last time Donald Trump showed his face live in front of the press was Tuesday, August 26th, during a marathon three-hour cabinet meeting. Maybe all that staged roundtable praise from his sycophants was too much for him.
Exactly. Keep the pressure on. Trump will not stick with anyone he thinks may be dragging him further down. That was the beginning of his distancing from Elon. Keep the pressure on. RFK must go.
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.
Two guys who have treated women in their lives with deep pathological narcissism find empathy in each other- how fucking twisted and why do we have to be subjected to their bullshit ?
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
Brilliant
Donald Trump has reportedly gone out of his way to avoid paying national guard troops sent in to Washington, D.C., resulting in outrage from veterans.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
To be able to say things like this with a straight face, you have to know with certainty that you are talking to babies
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
GOP responses to mass shootings: Step 1: Blame it on mental health, not guns Step 2: Vote to cut funding for mental health Repeat I live outside the US, and I can assure you: the rest of the world has people with mental health problems. What they don't have is easy access to unlimited guns.
JB Pritzker uses the word "invasion" to describe what Trump has planned for my city, Chicago. And that's exactly what it would be – an autocratic government trying to crush our dissent because we oppose his corruption, cruelty and incompetence. It's what dictators do.
Donald Trump is once again threatening to issue an executive order targeting voting. This is an effort to subvert the Constitution and the 2026 election, which grants states and Congress but not the president power to regulate federal elections. If he does this, we will sue and we will win (again).
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
I don't know what they have on Tulsi Gabbard, but it's gotta be so bad that she's dedicated the rest of her life to following orders and thus ensuring it never sees the light of day.
Such weird presumptions and ridiculous projections
Loathsome people
I really wish I didn’t think of @radiofreetom.bsky.social every time these idiots utter these words. But boy was Tom right.
JD Vance: “Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think, a really bad person.” { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
History shows us the opposite: Undermining and censoring scientists and experts is a central feature of authoritarianism.
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
Are you listening Jake Tapper?
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, that's pretty weird, right? I wonder how many days he'll go without being in public until an intrepid journalist asks why. Might even be a book in it. Do you know anyone?
Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳
A genuinely awful person
Hope SCOTUS enjoys being treated like Trump’s lapdog
BREAKING: James Talarico just gave one of the best speeches we've seen this year. Every American needs to see this.
Goulish Miller
Just in time for Taco Tuesday
There is a root cause for Miller being a liar
Correct and important distinction - us harmless cranks do not want to be associated with this guy
Yes and I’m one of the world’s foremost professional basketball players.
You are correct and Miller is a ghoul
Going live on MS at 6pm and will be covering this
Charlie a flash in the pan of ridiculous
Excellent!
Oh happy day !
BREAKING: Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa won't seek reelection to Senate in 2026, sources say.
and …. I do believe you know more than he does
Can’t work today. My mitochondria weren’t up to the challenge.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”
@chrislhayes.bsky.social channeling the same level of anger I too feel about this absolute insanity, as well as every other case of the death of expertise on display in this regime. By platforming this crap, it seems Trump and the GOP are wilfully destroying our country.
Jerk comes to mind
Next week it'll be September. So far no sign of Republicans standing up to Trump in any meaningful way.
BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
Agree -disgraceful
It’s a little bit funny that so many people with influential platforms remain committed to the idea that Trumpism, as a political project, is mysterious and hard to pin down – while Trump himself constantly goes “Gotta protect the white real Americans from the black and brown hordes.”
Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
