#ReleaseAllEpsteinFiles
once again I am asking people to correctly answer the question "who was President in 2020"
This guy went to Yale Law School?
We are living in the stupidest of stupid times.
I refer you to 50 USC §CuzIWanna
"Trump is a professional huckster and profoundly lazy man. So instead of tending to his promises to working Americans, he entered office pursuing his own bizarre obsessions. He then proceeded to devise a series of Potemkin village-like distractions calculated to divert the nation’s attention."
Epstein survivor on Epstein: "His biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump."
To state the obvious: That's not what legal authority is.
This. This. This.
Breaking: Peaceful activists, many with disabilities, are being arrested at the Capitol right now. These individuals are putting themselves on the line to do all they can to save healthcare for millions of Americans.
When you stand up and fight; sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. But do you know what happens if you don't fight at all? Nothing.
Trump called republicans and threatened them not to sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files saying he would consider it a "hostile act" against him.
A thuggish response and a non-answer.
More than 10 survivors today, some Republicans, spoke out today. Minutes later, Trump repeats this horrible lie that even some of his supporters don’t believe.
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.
"As the Trump 2.0 regime has already demonstrated, it’s dangerous when a dictator begins to confuse his own idiosyncratic (and often performatively sadistic) fantasies with the desires of the public at large. Indeed, it can be downright dystopian." — @davidrlurie.bsky.social
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
🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."
Because he lied. And he’s been a habitual liar his entire life. Pretty easy to find lots of evidence of that in about 15 minutes.
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.
If you have "a great governor who wants us to come in," why isn't that governor just ... calling out his own National Guard?

McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."
A) If there were an actual emergency, one wouldn't be in the position of just picking and choosing. B) While there are serious federalism problems with invading a state without the consent of its government, there are other kinds of problems with governors inviting invasion cities in their states..
As House Republicans & DOJ continues to block release of the files, Epstein victims speak out: “The 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!”
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.
More of this.
They take responsibility for absolutely nothing. In 2028 they will still be blaming Biden and Obama for their failures. bsky.app/profile/atru...
"It didn't make sense to put Space Force headquarters in any state other than Colorado when the only priority should be quick and effective communication in a nuclear crisis and there was already an infrastructure."
New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
This is unbelievable. Reminder the Virginia Governors race is this year. Make sure to get out and vote for @abigailspanberger.com GOP campaigning in a government vehicle.
As concerns that Trump could be deploying National Guard troops as a test run for future election interference, we take a look at one law that will impact stationing federal troops at the polls themselves. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump. All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.
Sing it.
Makes you wonder where all the “trillions” of dollars we got from the tariffs are going.
Trump keeps losing in court www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/u...
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
They paid out a billion dollars in settlements for knowingly lying to intentionally deceive their own audience. As their own internal emails/texts showed in discovery, they have nothing but contempt for their own viewers and laugh at them all the way to the bank. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
So Texas is going to invade Illinois
This is the most important news of the day. Sending Texas guardsmen to Illinois is an intentional, unprecedented provocation. It should be immediately challenged in court. Follow @democracydocket.com for breaking news and updates on this developing story. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
Deploying the military against Americans.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.
Retired Master Sergeant here… “Alex, I’ll take things that GIs have never said for $1000.”
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.

Okay so now that we know the orange one is still alive, #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
While Chicago and the rest of us are thinking and planning for what un-American and illegal violations are next for Trump, what a tragedy that real problems are ignored or denied or exacerbated—realities like the climate crisis, the gun violence epidemic and a broken healthcare system.
Wtaf.
The party of small government and states rights are okay with a president threatening those states. A party of fawning sycophants to the orange one.
The hands are moving again (he got better makeup) so he’s lying.
Trump: "We've taken in almost $17 trillion of investment." (That would be more than half the entire US GDP, so no.)
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US 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?"
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
Convicted felon has thoughts about other people being "born to be criminals".
Surely, the decision to hold a military spectacle at that time is just coincidence.
Half (or probably more than half) of this country wants to live like the Jetsons and the rest want to live like the Flintstones. I hate going backwards.
Note: the EPA is the bad guy now
"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."
They hate voters and jurors and, you know, people who make their own fucking choices.
She is so ridiculous.
Your reminders: Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering. Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch. This is just another Trump family scam.
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s use of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles earlier this year violated a federal law that prohibits using the military as a domestic police force. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Dear Donnie, We still haven’t forgotten about the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter. -USA
We have until about 50 years until oil runs out. The sun and wind will be around a lot longer than that

I love this guy
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!
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet
Did you know in 1890 manufacturing employees worked on average 100 hours a week? It would be decades before the eight-hour workday became real. It took labor activists and labor unions to turn the cry for change into policy and practice. www.americaamerica.news/p/a-labor-da...
5/ Trump‘s attempt to fire Lisa Cook from the Fed continues. The Fed is insulated by statute from the whims of a president for precisely this reason. Trump wants the Fed to do his bidding, but the economists there are using their expertise, not his need for political wins, to guide the economy.

Trump & Kennedy, instead of attacking diseases are attacking the scientists who keep us safe, exactly what anyone who watched Trump’s performance during Covid, is familiar with Kennedy’s anti-science views, or read Project 2025 could have anticipated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...
Trump and the GOP are hellbent on killing our kids. Whether it’s no gun control or defunding pediatric brain cancer research/trials. Our kids deserve better than Trump and his feckless Republicans.
Trump did this
FLAG: Missouri's governor just called a special session of the state legislature to pass a gerrymandered congressional map in favor of Republicans. Just like what Greg Abbott did in Texas.
This is why Republicans have to cheat with maps. They can't win on policy.
He may be alive, but he’s definitely not well.
These spineless people won’t do damn thing.
I wonder why Trump imposed secondary tariffs only on India for buying Russian oil while not caring about all the other countries who buy Russian oil?
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
Republican Rep. Barry Moore was heckled so badly at his Alabama town hall that he literally left out the back door in the middle of the event. Moore didn't offer concluding remarks or even bid good night to the rowdy crowd as they chanted "Shame!" during his exit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Trump distracts to deceive. When it comes to the economy, Trump doesn’t want you to know the truth: our failing labor force & rising unemployment is *his* fault. Fmr. Sec. of Labor @juliesulabor.bsky.social talks Trump’s attacks on the independence of the Fed & the BLS. youtu.be/7WMea-UkakE?...
New in PN: Alert the media — the WH is lying about Trump's health "Something's clearly up & the official explanations don’t make sense. That’s not a shock given that Trump is a liar surrounded by toadies who surrendered their shame long ago. But it’s past time for reporters to ask some questions."
Restore credibility without ever having talked to the scientists at the CDC?? RFKjr is a coward because he knew he could not defend his policy positions to those scientists.
