All @oversightdemocrats.house.gov members spoke to the press for 45 minutes after the closed-door meeting w/ Oversight GOP and the women victimized by Epstein & Maxwell. You should watch all. I’d like to point to some notable comments by @crockett.house.gov & @repstansbury.bsky.social

Unlike the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer is explicitly Christian. This is taxpayer-funded indoctrination, plain and simple.
The news that they're collectively compiling a list of abusers should be sending some terror though some elite male circles right about now. Also this:
The vile sexual predator Donald Trump and his enablers, like [alleged] alcoholic and [alleged] rapist Pete Hegseth, used our nation's Air Force to distract from Jeffrey Epstein's accusers. This underscores how threatened they are by the truth.
“The great underreported story of our time is Russian compromise of the Republican Party…It's like Churchill's party became the pro-Nazi party.” @stuartpstevens.bsky.social talks Russia and the Republican Party with @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Podcast:
#StandWithSurvivors We need two brave Republicans to stand up to traitor Trump and his co-conspirators. It is a tall order to find two honest Republicans.

Remember when they said MT lands would be safe? Think again. 🤬 “Rolling back the Roadless Rule is another step in the plan to take public lands away from the American people, selling out our shared places and making us less safe to maximize corporate profits,” #MTnews www.kpax.com/news/montana...

Crazy how Ashli Babbitt had fentanyl in her system when she died
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
On this day, 30 August 1979, screen icon and Black Panther supporter Jean Seberg died by suicide following a campaign of harassment by the FBI, which had resulted in the death of her premature baby nine years prior. Alt text for more information.

Such a surprise
There’s a word for that: corruption.
NEW: Gov. Newsom says world leaders are laughing at Trump behind his back. “He’s being played everywhere. It’s an embarrassment.”
Lovely, More blood to be shed.
Michigan doesn't want him either!
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
On this day, 30 August 1948, leading Black Panther activist Fred Hampton was born in Summit, Illinois. Hampton was instrumental in forming links between the Panthers and organisations of working class... Read the alt text for more.
Congress returns on Tuesday. It’s critical that they return to a riled up electorate, angry constituents, & people demanding an end to Trump’s agenda of sabotage, plunder and betrayal. Here are 4 things to contact your Senators and Reps about every day in September. @simonwdc.bsky.social

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
More than 9 of 10 physicians say that prior authorization is bad for patients. 78% say it often causes patients to abandon a recommended treatment. “It’s really surprising that we are taking the most unpopular part of Medicare Advantage and applying it to Medicare,” said a former Medicare analyst.

I understand being a responsible adult... but every day? Every single day? That seems a little excessive.
Gov. Pritzker dropped straight facts. 🔥 We have another Democratic governor who’s a fighter. Keep it coming!
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

We no longer live in the United States of America. Poorly trained, childish bullies are wiping their feet on the US Constitution with GOP approval from the top down.
So, now all GOP are defying judge's orders and they are doing nothing to make them follow rulings www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Yes, polling shows Texans—across party lines—prefer fair maps drawn by independent bodies. There is currently no documented Republican state lawmaker in the public record or media reporting who publicly supports putting map-making in independent hands. Why are we voting for these people?
I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.
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.
youtu.be/OjGHf7OvglM?... Jesse Welles puts it well.
The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.
pro tip: an appreciation of what Gavin Newsom is doing right now is not an endorsement of Gavin Newsom for president in 2028. I can't even believe I have to explain this. get a fucking grip, people

In order for capitalism to work. you need a permanent underclass of people who work shitty jobs for little to no pay and live shorter, shitty lives and you need them to pop out babies-babies you've forced them to create and birth-trapped in the same circumstance. Like slavery. @SorayaMcDonald

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

All because Convicted Felon Donald Trump and Republicans hate trans people. Totally ignoring HIPPA and staying out of people's personal lives. And trying to take focus off of Epstein. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
When the dust settles, and if universities have meaningfully survived, it will be worth asking how institutions usually so resistant to thoroughgoing change chose to leap with both feet into an untested technology they didn't understand and didn't know how to use.
