South Park was a riot tonight. This season is so on point.
I feel so bad for the fans who paid high ticket prices AND had to fly in, but I know that all of us also care deeply about Gaga and her health and voice. Shitty all around, for everyone involved, but absolutely the best call.

Yes. Even in this political environment, if the U.S. Navy illegally killed the people on that boat, there are still avenues to seek justice. Between the JAG Corps and NCIS alone, there are mechanisms to apply tremendous pressure on Congress and senior leadership to pursue charges.

You know that boat the administration blew up? A former law enforcement official told the NYT the boat seemed to be carrying not drugs but *āmigrants * www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
My father is his base. My father knew he sexually assaulted women before he chose to vote for him a second and then third time. And I would place my father somewhere in the moderate realm of his base overall, considering heās not homophobic. So, I somehow doubt his base will be moved by this.
Trumpās involvement with modeling agencies ā absolutely disgusting.
They would have never had a national audience or platform without her. She found them. She loved them. She platformed them with her own money and gave them their own shows to spread their fucking pseudo science and bullshit.
Yes, I 100% blame Oprah for making Dr Oz and Dr Phil relevant. Yes. I do.

Every single reporter needs to ask Republicans the following question: "Do you agree with Donald Trump that the Epstein Files are a hoax?" Get an answer on camera.
Moments after the press conference with Epstein survivors concluded, Trump is once again calling it a āDemocrat hoax,ā saying the Epstein matter is āTotally irrelevant.ā Ask yourself: why is Trump so desperate to stop the American people from seeing the Epstein files?
Heās such a cutie patootie

More of this.
I saw someone earnestly say they didnāt understand why a gay politician would be closeted āin this day and ageāā¦ do people not realize that due to the continued and arguably resurgent existence of homophobia some people never even come out to themselves.
Four Republicans, Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace, signed onto a petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. But it shouldnāt take partisan maneuvering. Democrats and Republicans alike should unite behind the victims and demand full disclosure.

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a āhostile actā 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.
āCommunity Notes for the Win!ā
WOW. This is one of the original Alien Enemies Act cases going back to March. The conservative 5th Circuit has ruled Trumpās use of the Alien Enemies Act to disappear people to El Salvador was UNLAWFUL.

Even Republicans are cracking under the weight of Epsteinās truth. Trump canāt keep the files buried much longer. This is what accountability looks like: survivors speaking, truth surfacing, Trumpās lies collapsing.š
DOOCY: How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead? TRUMP: ... DOOCY: You see that? TRUMP: No ... I heard that. I get reports.

Trump illegally killing drug dealers, illegally unleashing the national guard and military against citizens, illegally detaining and kidnapping immigrants, threatening to end mail-in voting, and urging gerrymandering. Folks, what would you call these actions if another leader did them?
Trump announced he assassinated a boat full of civilians in the Caribbean that he alleges were drug smugglers (no evidence provided and even so, not a proportionate strike if true). Marco Rubio also used his social media to boast of the war crime.
Epstein survivors speak out. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

Rep. Stansbury: āWhat we heard today is a cover-up. A cover-up potentially involving foreign countries and foreign actors. As you will find out in coming days and weeks, this goes all the way to the top. Because thereās happen to be a very powerful person who doesnāt want these stories out.ā

Trump turns up the threats and intimidation on his Epstein cover up.
The police donāt serve and protect us either. They harass our communities and kill people of color every day. ACAB and fuck the military who are ājust following ordersā.
is crime actually up or are you just seeing more of the kind of people you think don't belong in your spaces and you just assume it means crime is up
Hereās what the files Republicans just āreleasedā look like. Whoās to say Trumpās name isnāt behind those black boxes? Release the full files and bring justice to the women and children survivors.
Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.
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
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
OFFICIAL ARTWORK FOR āTHE DEAD DANCEā
the democratic party's bias to normalcy is gonna kill us off. the gop is literally talking about a military junta and the democratic leader is operating like he can just cut a deal with republicans like its normal times.
Shameful. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
The Pentagon authorizes military judges for immigration cases, the National Guard occupies DC, and Federal forces prepare to deploy to Chicago. Theyāre attacking democracy, terrorizing Black & Brown communities, and quelling dissent. We need to be preparedālearn how here: bit.ly/resistancetoolkit.
Pritzker should have his NG annihilate every last one of them.
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: "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."
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: "We've gathered information from unauthorized, patriotic officials inside the government and from-sourced reporters about Donald Trump's plan, which is to deploy armed military personnel to the streets of Chicago."
This would be essentially a civil war. Is @govpritzker.illinois.gov willing to deploy his NG to deter this threat?
J.B. Pritzker says he's heard intelligence that Trump is "staging" the Texas National Guard to invade Chicago. It's hard to believe this is really happening, but Trump seems to be recreating the war between the states.
Trump doubling down on his unpopular tariffs. Doubling down on his trade deals, which are unpopular. Doubling down on his economy, which is sinking. Doubling down on his billionaire bill, which is very unpopular. Awesome. Keep going.
So Trump was late cause they shot out a Venezuelan boat.
At a press conference earlier, Trump said 'we just over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat,' adding there was more to come reut.rs/4mLtYpK

Trump on sending troops to Chicago: "We're going in. I didn't say when we're going in."
Trump claims a video showing people throwing bags out a White House window is "probably AI generated." Doocy then plays the clip for him. Trump still insists it's AI.
Trump: "We've taken in almost $17 trillion of investment." (That would be more than half the entire US GDP, so no.)
Trump on sending troops to Chicago: "If the governor of Illinois would call me up, I would love to do it. Now, we're going to do it anyway. We have a right to do it. And that includes Baltimore."
"They were born to be criminals." Jesus. Trump is talking about Americans this way. And let's be clear - he's talking about Black and brown people in Blue cities.
Trump: "I also did a number of truths. Long truths, and I think pretty poignant truths. No, I was very active over the weekend."
Lady Gaga and Tim Burton for āWednesdayā season 2.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
So Trump couldnāt manage an extended announcement himself, and needed his entire cabinet present to make supplemental comments? He spoke for what, 1.5 minutes? And now heās closing out?
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
Reassuring message from the president's website
The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epsteinās victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.
My incredibly talented husband has just shipped his latest product. So proud of him and his talents. If youāre working in the theatre business and using consoles, this may be for you!
I imagine the oval is currently being wiped down after a ketchup flinging incidentā¦
What are they pumping into Donald Trump right now to give him energy to do this press conference that was scheduled for 2 pm but still hasn't started at 2:36 pm? Any guesses? This is what corporate media and MAGA did 24-7 with Biden. Perfectly fair to ask.
Seriously though, what the fuck.
Being a half hour late to a proof of life press announcement is givingā¦ something.

It's an honor to earn the endorsement of the Bronx Democratic Party and the elected officials who fight for this borough every day. Families in the Bronx are being crushed by the affordability crisis. As Mayor, Iāll deliver for them and all New Yorkers.
If reports are true, Trump is ripping Space Command out of Colorado Springs out of pure political spite, endangering jobs, our economy and national security. Colorado Springs deserves better. Colorado deserves better. Are we Great yet, Jeff Crank?
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Looking like my secondary prediction was the right one. Heās going to speak on defense. Meaning war, whether abroad or at home. Fuck this.
Tr*mp to speak on DEFENSE at 2p EDT. Chicago & Venezuela? He's going to war with his own people & a non-threatening country to get our eyes off Epstein & the facts that he IS a child r@pist. š The victims will speak the TRUTH on September 3 at 10:30a EDT. @meidastouch.com will be airing. š©·
