The Vice President of the United States needs to resign his office. Now.
Presidents have a duty to uphold the law and serve the people and this president just doesn't get it, or more precisely, doesn't care. It was never about the country or its people for him.
Killing foreign nationals, claiming their boat was carrying narcotics, without evidence, is a crime. And why did you let 17 relatives of the Sinaloa Cartel head “El Chapo Guzmán” into the United States? You are supposed to keep Cartel members out, JD, not let them in.
The gentleman from Kentucky is right.
Pritzker just said it out loud: the Union is unraveling, and his state is being invaded by an authoritarian regime. This isn’t politics — it’s crisis.
Covering up the Epstein files. Giving tax breaks for YACHTS. Trying to rewrite January 6. That’s what Republicans are up to. Not lowering costs. Not prioritizing public health. Not focused on you.
We are now confronted with an occupant of the White House determined to wage war against us, we, the people. This cannot stand.
Our buddleia is teeming with butterflies and other pollinators! This Peacock butterfly joined me on our garden seat.
America voluntarily destroyed itself in the dumbest way possible. It's so painful and also darkly comic. I mean, it's just remarkable how the most incompetent and reckless people were elected. What else did people expect? All of this could have been avoided. Alas. We're in it, friends.
The richest 100 billionaires in the U.S. have a net worth totaling $3.86 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is collectively worth $4 trillion. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
To be clear, the fraudster convicted felon who filed for bankruptcy 6 times is not only tremendously bad at business, he’s also working towards bankrupting the United States and selling off our assets to the highest bidders. Don’t blame me, I chose Kamala Harris.
Same grl same
It's not just that we have to save our country from Trumpism. We have to save the entire world from a ravenous, reckless, criminal U.S. government. It's a moral imperative.

There ya have it. The Rose Garden Club at the White House.
The problem for Kennedy is that he’s been caught lying repeatedly even when there is videotape evidence to prove it. There’s a videotape of him saying there’s no safe and effective vaccine and then on TV he denied making that statement. He’s pathological. m.youtube.com/shorts/1p2cA...
Mike Johnson said that donald was an informant for the FBI and was helping to take him down. 🤣 Dude got @theonion.com crafting his talking points now 🤣
Brandon Scott: We do not need troops on our streets. We are in a time when we need everybody to stand up. This is not the time to hide, you cannot hide from these people. 100 years from now, your grandchildren will know that you stood up to fascism, racism and folks trying to destroy democracy.
RFK Jr.'s nephew demands his resignation: 'Threat to every American' www.rawstory.com/robert-f-ken...
National-scale gaslighting, where the president runs around talking about invading peaceful cities with the army and shredding federal agencies, and then if you dare feel alarmed about it, both the political media and opposition party will treat you as an irrational hysteric who should calm down
Poverty taught me my experience didn't matter. Being a woman taught me my voice will often be dismissed. Being neurodivergent taught me that my perceptions are not to be trusted. Growing up abused taught me I deserved poor treatment. Trusting myself and speaking up is hard... and revolutionary.
The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.
Trump administration officials are perplexed by House Speaker Mike Johnson’s claims that Donald Trump was an FBI informant in the case against Jeffrey Epstein. More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
These people are insane.
Not surprised.
Oh
Mamdani’s allies' message for top New York Dems as Trump works to block his path to City Hall: Get off the sidelines. Now. The pressure is on for Hochul, Schumer and Jeffries to publicly endorse Mamdani as their party's mayoral nominee.
To anyone who doesn't understand why women don't come forward to report sexual abuse: the UNITED STATES PRESIDENT said it's a HOAX after Epstein survivors recounted their harrowing tales of being raped as minors.
NEW: Why defending the independence of agencies like the Fed, FTC, & FDIC is key to economic stability and democracy itself. “Seizing power over the central bank is a power grab straight out of the authoritarian playbook, and one with predictable, ugly outcomes for America’s economy and democracy.”
South Korea's foreign minister is considering a trip to the U.S. to meet with the Trump administration after hundreds of South Koreans were arrested in Georgia at an electric vehicle battery plant.
All of America’s foreign broadcasters are in grave danger, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes. “Without openly saying so, the United States is reorienting its foreign policy to protect governments that manipulate and censor information.”
The other thing is that it's patently ridiculous to act like you're doing Apocalypse Now by sending ~800 one-weekend-a-month warehouse managers and insurance adjusters to stand around kicking rocks for 29 days
I guess America first means declaring war on America while kissing Putin’s ass.

I'm not going to read this, but I'm guessing David Brooks doesn't land upon the inescapable conclusion that 10s of millions of mostly white Americans really love white supremacy, and are willing to excuse anything that delivers it to them.
I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this
The president gets to harm as many Americans as he wants defying whatever laws he pleases and our job is to be nice to him and make sure everyone agrees he's cool. Not sure what you people don't understand about that.
It's a cult. They've been brainwashed. They've been gaslighted. Not sure about my grammar there.
I should rest because I'm feeling under the weather but...I can't abide fascists. So, I'm going live with @muellershewrote.com to discuss Trump's Apocalypse Now thelefthook.substack.com
Thank you. We appreciate you.
So if Trump was an undercover Epstein informant, that means he worked for Robert Mueller and was part of the deep state.
Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
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!!!
Thanks to Trump's funding cuts, PBS will lay off 15% of its staff. Trump wants to exert control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.
#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1991: LGBTQ activists inflate a giant piece of yellow fabric around the home of North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms, who opposed funding for AIDS research. The fabric read, “A CONDOM TO STOP UNSAFE POLITICS: HELMS IS DEADLIER THAN A VIRUS.” /1
Reminder: All four physicians in the Senate voted to confirm RFK Jr as HHS Secretary: John Barrasso Rand Paul Bill Cassidy Roger Marshall They should lose their medical license.
No. The answer is no.
Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.
Blumenthal: They’ve burned through the 120 days for Alina Habba. Now they’re pretending she can be “acting” US Attorney. The statutes don’t allow it. A judge has already ruled she has no authority. That means everything she’s touched could be challenged. 🚨 #RuleOfLaw
🚨 A FELON in the Oval Office. 💀 A PUPPY KILLER at DHS. 🚫 An ANTIVAX EX-ADDICT at HHS. ❌ An ILLITERATE running Education. 🥴 A DRUNK in charge of Defense. 🇷🇺🕵️ A RUSSIAN ASSET as DNI. ⚡💥 This isn’t politics. This is the COLLAPSE of governance in real time. 💥⚡

Washington Post editorials are now a dumbed down version of Wall Street Journal editorials, which are no great shakes to begin with…
Their cruelty is only exceeded by their incompetence. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
I think what RFK Jr. meant to say was “the CDC director refused to put kids' health at risk when I told her to, so I fired her."
It seems painfully evident that we lacked legal, moral, or other justification for the killing of eleven individuals aboard a small boat in the Caribbean. It is also entirely clear that the Trump administration, having begun by obfuscating and lying, is now simply stonewalling. They fear the truth.
File Under: No Right to Say a Damn Thing.
This @washingtonpost.com editorial doesn’t make it past the second paragraph without a glaring (and telling) factual error. President Washington didn’t create the War Department in 1789; *Congress* did: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...
This applies to abortion and same-sex everything.
The head of the CDC warned us that RFK Jr. was putting lives at risk with his reckless, anti-science vaccine policies. Then she got fired. This is political intimidation at its worst. The CDC is being decapitated. It is an absolute disaster for public health.
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
It literally makes me sick. No honor, no ethics, no morals.
The ‘antiwar’ president today tried to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War. Can’t make this stuff up.
contrarian.substack.com/p/democrats-... love this
Someone needs to tell CBS that at some point you bend the knee so far that you are just kneeling.
Second Amendment for me but not for thee.
RFK Jr. is torching trust in public health. Remove him—or fence him in. 5 minutes. No fluff. Watch clip, full link here youtu.be/NGjfoaMoSVs?...
There is no democratic justification for withholding these files. This is a coverup.
RFK Jr. said, “If vaccines are working for somebody, I’m not going to take them away.” Then, he did. RFK Jr. is a liar.
Disgraceful.
So maybe the problem wasn’t with the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics?
So much greatness.
Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.
Sen. Mark Warner to RFK Jr: "HOW CAN YOU BE THAT IGNORANT?" bluevirginia.us/2025/09/vide... h/t @msnbc.com
We now live in a country where: – The president is a felon. – The DHS chief kills puppies. – The HHS chief is an antivax ex-addict. – The education secretary can’t read. – The defense secretary is a drunk. – The DNI answers to Moscow. WTF happened?

BREAKING: Trump and Bondi deputy caught on video saying DOJ will redact the names of all Republicans in the Epstein Files and release only the Democrats www.axios.com/2025/09/04/e...
because one site backs the needs and interests of the wealthy and powerful and the other two do not (?) I dunno. I'm just spitballing
The DOJ is refusing to release the subpoenaed documents...like every known abuser. Keep them quiet or call them liars. Our country is bending the knee to someone. It would be nice to know who that is.
"When she joined and whenever she got a promotion, she raised her right hand and said, 'I, Ashli Babbitt, will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." She died doing the opposite. @markhertling.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social
It's easier to buy an AR-15 in most parts of this country than it is to get mental health care.
Any Senators here? I’m a biomedical scientist with immunology, cancer, infectious disease expertise. RFK Jr lied to you in his confirmation hearings. Repeatedly. Provably. He’s lied to EVERYONE for 30+ years. Repeatedly. Provably. He WILL lie today. Repeatedly. Provably. 1/
RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
To say that deranged chaos agent RKF Jr is simply politicizing HHS and public health is a vastly gross understatement, he’s literally bringing back dangerous deadly diseases to deliberately sicken the country and kill off many vulnerable citizens, he’s committing murder.
I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.
It's mind-blowing that every single physician in the country isn't screaming at the top of their lungs to fire RFK jr. Implicit in being a good physician is not only to "first do no harm" – but also, you cannot, you must not, stand by and allow others to come to harm by your own inaction.
Dems killing it on RFK today. Well done, people. Now start grilling your colleagues who voted for this crackpot
Ron Johnson still being a senator is a reminder that the Senate is not a body that takes its Constitutional responsibilities seriously
Kennedy continues to claim that vaccines aren’t adequately tested. He is a liar. They are the most thoroughly tested intervention of all.
RFK Jr: “It’s the biggest infusion of federal dollars into rural healthcare in American history.” Bernie Sanders: “No. You’re cutting $150B, putting $50B back. That’s not an infusion — that’s a loss of $100B.” 🔥 #Healthcare #BernieSanders
LUJAN: You hired a man named David Geier to conduct this study. Is that correct? RFK Jr: No LUJAN: Is Geier working for HHS? RFK Jr: He's a contractor LUJAN: Do you know that Mr Geier is listed on the HHS employee directory as a senior data analyst, not a contractor?
Speaking for us all:
RFK Jr. wants to "make America healthy again." So he's doing that by dismantling federal health agencies and firing civil servants who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and vaccines. Do I have this right?
Note to the news media: RFK JR. IS NOT A "VACCINE SKEPTIC." He's an anti-vaxxer. He's dismantling our vaccine system to usher in an era of unnecessary deaths. Lose the weasel-wording.
