The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
Prediction: the grand wizard will be shooting off plumes of smokescreen right and left tomorrow when the brave victims speak on the Hill.
Not a distraction? Massie will open petition to get 218 signatures at 2 pm to release 299+ of 300 Gb unreleased Epstein files when House returns from recess. Trump schedules a 2 pm press conference to rename Dept of Defense to Dept. of War (and declare “war” on Chicago.) thehill.com/homenews/hou...
Beyond pathetic.
Hinky AF. Impulse Control Disorder AF. Is this Melania or the short-fingered vulgarian himself?
Creative writing prompt: Make a simple press statement about a car accident sound suspicious on at least three different levels.
I don’t see anything? Where did it go?
Since he is changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War (Americans voted you in because they want more war, right!?), and wants his de-face on Mr Rushmore, why not rename Labor Day … Billionaire Day? Happy B-Day MAGA!
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
But a week should do it, don’t you think?
This is never going away, is it?

The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Trump's use of red state National Guards in DC is really about viciously turning Americans against each other, about stoking hate and violence *among Americans.* JB Pritzker's response is so good because it lays *this* bare. Me and @brianbeutler.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1997...
The New Yorker…
No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.
Trump is one of the most despicable, malicious, bilious human beings on earth. PLEASE promise me that the next Democratic POTUS, once elected, will do the same for him day 1. I predict it will be a matter of days, and will not be a fake staged nail scratch on the ear. www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
The party that claims to care about law and order sends the military to pick up trash in DC but has nothing to say about the regular massacre of children in schools under than ‘thoughts and prayers.’
Never in my life will in comprehend why the Access Hollywood tape wasn’t the end for him. Almost 10 years of being deeply embarrassed for this country every day.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
To every thug partaking, you're next.
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.
wtf is this nonsense? He thinks he can understand kid’s “mitochondrial challenges” just by looking at them? This is an insane person.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
If true, its beyond frightening. european-security.com/cesspool-and...
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
That disturbing moment when the💡goes off in his head and he basically tells us how he’ll stay in power. “So you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections” #Pinks #ProudBlue #PedoTrump #Felon
Moore: "The thing that gets me most about this is how deeply disrespectful this is to members of the National Guard who signed up for this job as I did when I deployed overseas & led paratroopers in combat where we signed up w/the expectation the commander in chief was actually taking it seriously"
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.

Here's the very disturbing part of this The timing and Trump's knowledge: Year 2000: Epstein-Maxwell "took" Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago 2002: Trump said most infamous line about Epstein being a "terrific" friend and liking "younger" ones Only in 2004: Trump rupture with Epstein
As with so much Trump stuff, this is precisely the sort of thing you'd see in the work of a satirist who hates America — like, really, genuinely hates the country, holds it in complete contempt. And yet here it is, without an ounce of irony
My heart breaks for Georgetown.
I, for one, am stockpiling sandwiches in case these jackbooted thugs try to invade my home or arrest my neighbors. Do NOT let Trump take away our right to bear sandwiches!! www.cnn.com/2025/08/13/p...
Trump is planning a rapid response military force to deploy domestically against Americans to crush their First Amendment right to protest. Suppression of civil liberties, politicization of the military, and a disregard for laws are hallmarks of authoritarianism. Pay attention. wapo.st/46UGmic
If Trump chokes off customers to enough small businesses in the city this will be a HUGE real estate opportunity!! 😀🤞
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Can’t wait for the “Pros of Slavery” exhibit!
She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.
Grossly irresponsible of the Times to have this ludicrous credulous spin as the top story the morning after a president who rules by fiat proclaims a totally specious emergency to militarize the capital - an editorial insult to our intelligence and our democracy.
Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records in the first degree. This seems on brand.
And he insisted they call him Big Hands.
STOP filling Bluesky with outrage at the smokescreen. “Federal takeover of DC” because a couple girls beat up Big Balls is just a smokescreen for the truth Trump doesn’t want you to know about his unspeakable activities with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
this is a great example of what happens when unserious, nihilistic people get in charge of actual institutions whose ostensible job it is to provide real services to real people. these people are LARPing their way through everything. trolling as govt bc they have no respect for the work of it.

"Seed Corn Must Not Be Ground" final lithograph of Käthe Kollwitz, 1942. The death of her son in battle in 1914 profoundly affected the artist, who expressed her grief by creating many prints on the theme of mothers protecting their children from the horrors of war #WomensArt

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

Barry Levine: “It was a 1992 party at Mar-A-Lago where Donald Trump hosted 28 young women. His only guest at that particular party was a man named Jeffrey Epstein. Trump knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s behavior with younger girls as far back as 1992. That is astonishing.” #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.

Think back just a few years ago. Would the American public have accepted the president refusing to rule out a pardon for an imprisoned felon who raped children as young as age 14? The Republican Party has brought our country to this.

Stephen Miller wants to spend $17 billion deporting 1 million immigrants, who currently contribute $89 billion in taxes a year. Do the math: that’s a $106B net loss for America.
The one where Donald Trump tells a lechy story about hiring a 17 year old girl with no experience because she was “SO beautiful.” He closes by equating his addiction to beautiful girls with others’ alcoholism. It’s a compulsion! Whattaya gonna do, right?! 🫤
Two Epstein Victims Come Forward Trump Is Covering Up His Guilt
National Archives new 7-24-25 document “The Full Epstein Files” link and part one of the summary I have.
1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.
The link between poverty and child sex trafficking is just as strong as that between corrupt billionaires and politicians and child sex abuse. Trump policies to expand poverty are a war on children as much as his call on the DOJ to protect pedophiles like him. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
