THIS DISGUSTING SCUM OF THE EARTH THUG IS WHO HE IS. HE IS NOW THREATENING TO GO TO WAR AGAINST AN AMERICAN CITY. I am more interested in the enablers. Are you ok with this? Are you so weak that you will remain silent. DON'T BE DISTRACTED. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!
People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. Itās a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC
This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
PRITZKER: ā.. The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke.ā @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

OPINION: Lawrence: RFK Jr., the most dangerous nepo baby in American history @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com tells the tale of two Kennedys: Robert Kennedy who served as attorney general under JFK and Robert Kennedy Jr. who Lawrence says became the most unqualified and incompetent HHS secretary.
Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.
So then it's NOT the vaccines? Now anti-vaxxers have lost their argument. Not that I think autism is caused by Tylenol, either.
Am I the only person who thinks this is INSANE?
Where are the red Make America Great Again hats out in the fields? You know, the same people who swore immigrants were ātaking their jobs.ā Keep snatching hard-working folks who are just trying to support their families and donāt be shocked when this becomes the new norm.
Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldnāt have to rely on food stamps. Orā¦ orā¦ orā¦
You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.
First Bernie Sanders. Then the CDC directors. Now, more than 1,000 current and former HHS staffers are demanding he step down.
šØRep. Crockett is šÆ. The 1A is not only under attack, it poses imminent danger to those who go against DT in voting to release the Epstein files. The U.S. government is at a crossroad. Are legislators going to protect a man they fear, or do right by victims? No moral ambiguity here.
Fascinating that next yearās Senate race in South Carolina will probably come down to a woman who performs spinal procedures running against a man with no spine.
BREAKING: Senator Raphael Warnock just called for RFK Jr. to resign to his face.
Any Senators here? Iām a biomedical scientist with immunology, cancer, infectious disease expertise. RFK Jr lied to you in his confirmation hearings. Repeatedly. Provably. Heās lied to EVERYONE for 30+ years. Repeatedly. Provably. He WILL lie today. Repeatedly. Provably. 1/
Iāve seen enough. Impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
RFK JR: Youāre just making stuff up Hassan: Sometimes when you make an accusation, itās kind of a confession
PULTE: Public officials shouldn't be exempt from scrutiny SORKIN: Speaking of that, Ken Paxton has at least 3 examples of alleged mortgage fraud. Are you looking at that? PULTE: Unless it's been made public, I'm not going to comment on any specific situation S: Why wouldn't you make it public?
WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?
Like Susan Collins' strong letters hard? Repubs always roll over when push comes to shove.
A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
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"
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Bartiromo is not that big an idiot, but she plays one on TV. She knows how to talk to her audience.
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Assume is the wrong choice of word.
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubioās 2016 presidential campaignšš½
No candidate interviewing for medical school who, upon expressing RFK jr's views, would ever be accepted. They'd be laughed right out of the room. And yet this man runs the HHS ā including the CDC, NIH, ACF, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA? WTAF?! Remove RFK jr for dereliction of duty. Immediately.
COVID & Health News, 8/31/25 open.substack.com/pub/drruth/p...
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
Let Dr RFK Jr take care of him. Expert medical advice required.
Iāve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldnāt post so much about COVID19 vaccines because itās ādivisiveā. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadnāt happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarezās willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.ās personal mission to destroy public health in AmericaāIām glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
Psaki: I felt a mixture of angerāa lot of angerāand emotional exhaustion about this today, as Iām sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
Itās outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director ā after only a few weeks on the job ā for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.ās āwords can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.ā And his actions are more lethal still. Heās waging war on America. Thatās an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
AMERICA: āItās a mental health issue.ā REST OF THE WORLD: āWe have those. But donāt have mass shootings.ā AMERICA: āItās video games.ā WORLD: āWe have those too. But donāt have mass shootings.ā AMERICA B: āItās cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.ā WORLD: āGod, youāre stupid.ā
Brutal. A humiliation ritual.
Breaking: According to Minneapolis police, two children ā ages 8 and 10 ā have been killed in the church shooting. 14 children and three adults injured. Minneapolis mayor Frey: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."
Not tired of winning!š„³
Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.
holy shit
Welker to Lavrov: "Here are the facts. Close to 50,000 civilians have either been killed or injured in this war. Russia has hit maternity wards, churches, schools, hospitals, a kindergarten just this week. So either the Russian military has terrible aim or you are targeting civilians. Which is it?"
āI was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that islandā¦ and I was not the only girl on that islandā¦ Ghislaine must die in prison, because Iāve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.ā Listen to the survivors.
Arrested for filming it. And look how excited they all are to get some *action*. šŗšø Watch fascism work.
No lies told here.
omg
I'm not interested in what notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell has to say. I'm interested in evidence of what she did. Release the Epstein Files. Stop Donald's coverup.
Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein could not have sold women and girls for sex without wealthy men buying women and girls for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

This šš¾ āWhy do they need masks? Theyāre federal officials, theyāre paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way thatās lawful and constitutional, and thatās part of the job.ā DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
This is so importantā¦ Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and sheās finding they donāt match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tacticsājust like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov š§µ
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about āsafety.ā They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Newsom: We canāt do things the way weāve done. Letās disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purposeā¦
Hell needs to reserve some special spaces for a few more folks.
With the death of anti-LGBTQ Christian Nationalist, James Dobson, the VIP section of Hell is now full. Fellow bigots, please make other arrangements.
Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safeā¦ So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?
šØBREAKING: The Texas House voted Wednesday to move forward with a new congressional map ā as Democrats continued to seek ways to resist. As soon as this is signed into law,Texas will be sued. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Mississippiās Supreme Court district lines must be redrawn to ensure Black people in the state don't have their voting power diluted.
Heartbreaking For the crime of working
What real leadership looks like. Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.
Hey, Literally Every Media Outlet, It's not a Ukraine-Russian war; it's Ukraine defending itself against Russian occupation and annihilation. Thanks.
Garcia: What I can say is that I want the American public to hear what Bill Barr said in his deposition ā about how he views the current DOJās actions, and Todd Blancheās actions as they relate to this deal with Ms. Maxwell. The American public should know what was said
Nancy Mace: "In my time in Congress, I actually helped secure the largest infrastructure grant in state history, in South Carolina history. So I've worked very hard on the policies that matter to voters here." (Mace is taking credit for legislation she voted against!)
I refuse to believe we are going to relitigate slavery. SLAVERY. Itās too much.
Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.
Rep. Nicole Collier refused to āsign away her dignityā by accepting a police escortā¦and spent the night on the Texas House floor protesting GOP overreach. A quiet act of defianceā¦that speaks volumes!š„
šØBREAKING: A new lawsuit filed Tuesday aims to stop New Hampshire, already one of the most difficult states in which to vote by mail, from enforcing even more extreme restrictions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Again: this is not about what this country can or canāt afford. Itās about priorities.
Meet the Maine oyster farmer looking to challenge Sen. Susan Collins.
well holy sh*t š www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...
Boy will they be surprised by their "heavenly" reception.
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.
James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Just like denying someone due process is illegal but somehow "authorized".
This is full-on authoritarianism. Free Nicole Collier. #txlege
Standing up for workers. Treating everyone with dignity and respect. Working as hard as possible for the people of Ohio. I've tried to live my life by those principles. But these days that's not what's happening in Washingtonāso I'm running for Senate.
"Newsomās threat to retaliate in kind is not a divisive attack on good governance. It is, instead, the only hope for democracy. Bipartisanship right now is appeasement. Democrats cannot and should not hide behind neutrality and fairness as MAGA incinerates the remaining tatters of our republic."
Holy shit.
JUST IN: The right-wing news channel Newsmax has agreed to pay $67 million to Dominion Voting Systems over its coverage of the 2020 presidential election. A trial had been scheduled for October. n.pr/3UuKeyZ
A message for the most ātransparent Administrationā in history: Release the Epstein files.
Life comes at you fast
RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Let's go. This is it. We need to wake up. We cannot survive if he rigs not just Texas, but he goes to Indiana, goes to Missouri, goes to Ohio, goes to Florida. We have to have other governors of like mind, and there are many, to now do something, not just say something."
In other words: They lied.
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
