JUST IN: Trump appeals to the Supreme Court to try to save his tariffs
Today’s post is from guest Michael Wood, a patriot and veteran who bled for this country and now wrestles with a question: Will America remain only an idea? His words are raw, honest, and urgent—reminder of what’s at stake in this moment adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/saving-the...
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.
Rand Paul: "It might be ironic if in the end the protectionist flavor of the day - the tariffs we're putting on - brought together our enemies & ultimately led to the collapse of the reserve currency of the world... if you put a 50% tariff on Indian goods, India will become closer to China & Russia"
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"
Such an odd thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

I recently visited an ICE detention center with @ravenreveals.bsky.social just outside of Chicago. Kidnapping people off the streets isn’t keeping us any more safe. Let’s close this facility and all the other ones like it down.
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...
God forbid the national media actually use this line tho
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."
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.
Today I asked a Trump judicial nominee if she believed the President could get away with murder and be immune from prosecution. Her answer was not no.
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.
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"
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.
"For so many years, it felt like Epstein's criminal behavior was an open secret." “We’re not going away. We’re not staying quiet. We’re not going to give up.” Annie Farmer (Epstein survivor)
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
MASSIVE BREAKING: Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi just revealed that an attorney told them today that an Epstein bodyguard was an intermediary between Epstein and the CIA in 2009. Release the Epstein files now !

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas: Looking at President Xi standing alongside the leaders of Russia, Iran, and North Korea in Beijing today, these are not just anti-Western optics; this is a direct challenge to the international system built on rules.
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ 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.
"All this waffling around, dancing around the subject, sticking their heads in the sand in hopes that it will go away has pissed me off." politizoom.com/patience-run...
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”
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.
Wes Moore is NOT playing: I am the Commander in Chief of the National Guard. I will not authorize the Maryland National Guard to be activated. THIS is how you fight back.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
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?"
What the study said was both FOX and MSNBC leave you less informed than more neutral sources like PBS do. That study was 13 years ago. www.businessinsider.com/study-watchi...
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
BREAKING: 5th circuit panel rejects Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to expel Venezuelan nationals, saying there has been no "invasion" or "predatory incursion." Majority Southwich (George W. Bush) Ramirez (Biden) Dissent Oldham (Trump) s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
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
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.
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
"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."

Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American

Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
"We are watching and we are taking names." This is where Pritzker has leveled up over his fellow Dems, by promising a future of accountability and retribution for the destruction Trump and his minions are doing to the constitutional order and our individual freedoms. newrepublic.com/post/199800/...
Tulsi Gabbard's "slip-up' of publicly outing of an undercover CIA officer is more than a mistake—it's an act of betrayal. This leak doesn't just end one person's career; it puts lives at risk, compromises intelligence networks, and weakens America's security abroad. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

AP: “When Trump awarded a contract for $1.2 billion for 🇺🇸’s largest immigration detention complex, it handed it to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small biz with no experience… its address a modest home in suburban Virginia.”🤔 Golden Age of Corruption. apnews.com/article/trum...
Do it Gavin
This is how the President of the United States spends his time
"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
Let that sink in.

Give this woman a megaphone
Republicans want us to forget Trump’s Epstein cover-up. We won’t. We’re demanding ALL the Epstein files be released—and putting billboards in GOP districts to keep the pressure on. Please pitch in if you can: secure.actblue.com/d...
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...

Have you seen his cabinet meetings? They aren’t calling for jack
BREAKING: Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office. “Something's wrong with this president!" Who agrees?

It’s good that the courts are making clear that Trump’s destructive tariffs are illegal. These tariffs are crushing small businesses and costing regular people thousands of dollars for no good reason. Democrats will keep pushing to end these tariffs & restore economic sanity.
The Epstein Conflict
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
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.
Trump and his accomplices will face justice
🤣👍
Hello, everyone. Today, thanks to @sbg1.bsky.social and @newyorker.com, I learned a new word. The word is: "butt-snorkeler."
Here he goes.
Ashli Babbitt died doing what she loved—being a domestic terrorist.
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.

Give Uvalde PD some credit, they were incompetent cowards
National Guardner? National Park Service workers laid off, and now the National Guard is doing landscaping in DC. Felon Trump really turned soldiers into gardeners.
CDC leaders on why the left: “I resigned because I could not be part of the weaponization of public health and CDC… we should always be questioning - but you shouldn’t have a preconceived idea before you have the data.”
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
