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?”

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.
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.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
Let us be clear: there is no emergency in Chicago that warrants the President of the United States deploying the military. I joined Senators Duckworth and Durbin and 10 Members of Congress from IL to demand that Trump & the Pentagon suspend plans for the deployment of military personnel to Chicago.
I love this but I was also witness to roaring crowds for Kamala and they did not translate to votes. Regardless, I give my full support to Platner
Everyday at 8 PM, DC residents in a moment of solidarity do nightly porch protest against Trump’s takeover.
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
CHICAGO…
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing

Whoopsy
Truth Art! #arresttrump #art
THIS is the way 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What we're seeing in Trump lately is narcissistic injury. Narcissistic collapse. When a narcissist's tactics and patterns no longer work on people, narcs start to crumble. They hate to be criticized, mocked, called out, held accountable. It bruises their fragile ego. His cons are no longer working.
Wes Moore confirms that he's considering retaliating against Republican gerrymandering by redrawing the maps in Maryland to eliminate the state's one Republican seat
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
The second amendment guarantees the right to a militia to guard against federal tyranny. But if a president can use that force against its own state, against the wishes of that state, then it is no militia at all and a clear violation of the second amendment.
As California faces extreme heat and fire weather conditions, we’re prepared with the world’s largest firefighting fleet to respond quickly and protect Californians. Across the state, we stand ready with new aircraft, personnel, and resources to swiftly respond and save lives.

In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Newsom’s Twitter troll is genius because pleading and crying in front of an authoritarian does nothing, but pointing and laughing enrages the authoritarian.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on fascism in 🇺🇸 : “There is not safety in keeping your head down… People who oppose public policy decisions but are too afraid of retribution from their government to speak their mind should send a chill down all of our spines.”
💥 The NFL is stoked to be woke. “All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ ‘Choose Love’ or ‘Inspire Change.’ africa.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
Proud to join Denmark Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social and Ambassador Sørensen to sign a new partnership between California and Denmark. Our message to the rest of the world is clear: California is a stable, reliable partner — no matter who's in the White House.
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.
listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think
Are These Alternative Facts, Chump ?........
Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."
Gavin Newsom’s late-night message to Fox
Of all the things that never happened that never happened the most
"Newsom is showing not just that resistance is plausible, but that especially when it's backed up with a plan it pays major political dividends — which hopefully will lead other Democrats to resist too."
Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.
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
Federal agents opened fire during an immigration enforcement operation after a man “struck two CBP officers with his vehicle.” But the family said they drove away out of fear for their safety after masked men emerged from unmarked cars with weapons drawn before smashing their truck’s windows.
Whatever AOC Says, Is Worth Repeating, Correct Mr. Chump.......
It’s now apparently Chris Murphy’s war.
The war is apparently Zelensky’s fault. Tomorrow is going to be another shit show.
Crow: "Look at what happened. US military personnel in uniform literally were on hands & knees rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century...we keep on acting like Putin deserves to be brought out in open like any of head of state. This is a historic embarrassment."
D.C. TODAY…

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."
Friend sent me this. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:
I’ve started watching the West Wing again because I need to watch some functional government.
The DOJ sandwich thrower as it turns out is a much decorated active duty staff Sergeant in the Marines. He identified himself immediately and offered to self surrender to the felony charge, but they sent 20 officers to arrest him. What a debacle it would be if the grand jury declines to indict.
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."
Tapper: So despite the fact that president Trump called this an extremely productive meeting.. there doesn't seem to have actually been anything achieved, at least according to what the two men just said
I guess you can indict a ham sandwich.
There would be an immediate cease fire if Russia immediately ceases firing.
Newsom: A failed president in every sense — who else sends ICE agents mid-conversation? Only someone weak, broken, and desperate to disguise fragility as strength. The most unpopular leader of our era.
OMG BAAAAHAHA
You can’t assert the former without the latter also being true.
Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
If you are upset about DC‘s crime rate while voting for a felon, you are a special kind of stupid.
I just approved the deployment of California resources to Puerto Rico ahead of Tropical Storm Erin. We’re glad to help coordinate life-saving response to Americans in harm’s way.
SPLENDID PARODY OF THE PEDO-IN-CHIEF'S MORONICALLY DERANGED STYLE OF POSTING, DESPITE THE MISSED OPPORTUNITY OF REFERRING TO HIM AS DONALD CHUMP, GOVERNOR NEWSCUM. 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Raskin: “If he really cared about public safety in D.C., he wouldn’t have pardoned 1,600 insurrectionists and violent cop-beaters on his first day in office.”
BREAKING: U.S. layoffs have surged to their highest level since the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
NEWS: U.S. layoffs in July surged to highest level since the early months of the COVID pandemic, jumping 29% from June and 140% compared to July 2024.
Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.
Violent crime in D.C. is the lowest it's been in 30 years. Donald Trump, desperate to distract from the Epstein Files, a weakening economy and horrendous poll numbers is seeking to create chaos there by once again fashioning a problem where there is none. The man knows no bottom.
Because you needed a video of a group of cute guinea pigs eating watermelon... You're welcome #bluesky 😊
You will not be disappointed in watching this video... Sound on #bluesky... ☺️
What a beautiful ribbon eel… 😊
Beautiful!
Sweet lord Someone actually wrote that? 😂😂😂
Normally, "You're Fired" means you have instantly lost your job, not: You WILL lose your job IN TEN MONTHS. #MakeItMakeSense
The Florida Panhandle is full of racist inbreds
As search and recovery missions continue in Texas, I’m incredibly grateful to our Minnesota Task Force 1 K-9 Unit for stepping up and traveling to assist our neighbors in this time of tragedy. We know their heroic work will make a difference.
Kristi Noem must resign now.
Deadly incompetence. But as Texas rescue crews raced to save lives, FEMA officials realized they needed Noem’s approval before sending additional assets.Noem didn’t authorize deployment of Urban Search & Rescue teams until Monday,more than 72 hours after flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.
I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.
