Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.
Bought! They are all bought! 😡
We the people are the job creators who keep showing up and making America great right now!
Kavanaugh's statements make the problem worse, not better. If the reason SCOTUS is using cryptic shadow docket orders is because "five" of them can't "reach a consensus or a compromise on a particular issue that might be difficult," then that order should not be precedential —there's no majority.
This Google decision appears to be a complete failure to break up its monopoly. It has to share *some* search data? Big deal. Plus it can still legally do search engine payola. And no Chrome sale. A best possible outcome for Google, the same monopolized, enshittified internet for the rest of us.
Gavin Newsom mocking Karoline Leavitt as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games 👏🏼🤣🏆
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Thank you on this labor day!!
I like the rebrand.
NEW: Man who wants Nobel Peace Prize creates Department of War.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
It’s time to take serious action at the State Capitol to address gun violence.
Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week. newatlas.com/energy/large...
I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
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.
Wow: French President Emmanuel Macron just called out Trump at a major press conference with the German Chancellor 😳
Trump is the physical embodiment of all that is wrong with America — stupid, arrogant, corrupt, predatory, gluttonous, lazy, cruel, ignorant, greedy, vicious and unapologetic. But deleting White House transcripts can't hide his dementia. No amount of concealer can hide his physical decline.
Release the EPSTEIN files! #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
We saw all your comments yesterday on our post about celebrity chef and D.C. icon José Andrés, and we agree with you he truly deserves the Nobel Peace Prize! 💚

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
Little kids are having to use their bodies to shield friends from gunfire while armed soldiers are busy picking up trash.
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis
“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ~Ray Bradbury Keep reading, friends. 📚
CONFIRMED: the thoughts and prayers offered by politicians following Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland (and far too many others) all failed to prevent today's mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Is it okay to talk about #GunControlNow? Or still too soon?
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.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.
A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
Gus Speth: "I used to think that top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that 30 years of good science could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy...”

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’?

BREAKING: The California Assembly has passed a bill to put Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan on the November 4 ballot.
The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios. At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024. Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570. That’s a ratio of 632 to 1. How can anyone defend this?
Here, fixed it.
Art of the deal.
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
Garcia: This is being right now streamed live by MeidasTouch to their 5 million subscribers… If you guys don't know MeidasTouch—thanks for all that they do. And I'm really grateful to them for continuing to particularly cover things that sometimes the mainstream media may not cover
They’re lighting democracy on fire.
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
Elon?
I bet Putin has the Epstein files.
I remember as a kid wondering what 2025 would look like. We all speculated flying cars, robots doing work... Never would I have imagined the world got completely stupid as we are now. We can see the problems, there are solutions to the problems, but we don't act. Why? Because greed won't let us.
Blackrock's CEO, the highest paid CEO in the world, is now head of the World Economic Forum. Proving that they are one and the same, a vehicle for billionaires to own everything.
Denmark has taught empathy in schools since 1993, helping children aged 6–16 develop compassion and social awareness. This early focus on emotional education has reduced bullying and fostered one of the world’s kindest societies. In the US we just give you a bullet proof vest, and hope for the best
This should be a bigger story. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Yes, Drudge. Donald is being blackmailed. I see a lot of folks saying this is a "distraction" from the Epstein files, but I think they're directly related.

By noon tomorrow...I fully expect Putin to unleash even more hell than usual on Ukraine.
Rep. Ro Khanna says there will be at least a dozen Jeffrey Epstein survivors who will have the floor at his September 3 joint press conference with Rep. Thomas Massie.
Heinrich: And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences a few things very unusual. You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. Soil here

California Just Gave Their Redistricting Bill A Very Good Name - "Election Rigging Response Act."
Arrest this war criminal Putin as soon as he sets foot on U.S. soil in Alaska.
Newsom: Here we are in plain sight before one vote is cast in the 2026 midterm election and here he is once again trying to rig the system. He does not play by a different set of rules, he does not believe in the rules.
Newsom: "We're doing this in reaction to a president that called the governor of the state of Texas and said 'find me 5 seats' ... we cannot unilaterally disarm ... other blue states need to stand up"
Newsom: "He's a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time we're having a conversation like this? Someone who's weak. Someone who's broken. Someone whose weakness is masquerading as strength."
Jessica: What he is doing with redistricting this cycle, going after universities and law firms, firing people who give him information he doesn't want like the head of the BLS… Gutfeld: What your alternative? Jessica: To have a democratic president.
Newsom: "We're doing this in reaction to a president that called the governor of the state of Texas and said 'find me 5 seats' ... we cannot unilaterally disarm ... other blue states need to stand up"
Newsom: “Wake up, America. If he rigs this election, you won’t have a country anymore.”
Some brave patriot needs to leak the unredacted Epstein files immediately.

Canada is facing one of its worst wildfire seasons on record, and my home province is particularly hard hit. Seeing how false and misleading information about the fires is spreading online has only further convinced me social media, especially Facebook, is a social cancer.
Sean Duffy: "Pete Buttigieg was running for president as opposed to doing his job and making sure that we got our air traffic control system modernized." (Pete Buttigieg ran for president in 2020. He became transportation secretary in 2021.)
For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.
Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Today we honor the wounded warriors who put their lives on the line for this country. But let’s be clear—#PurpleHeartDay can’t just be symbolic. If you’re not fighting for healthcare, housing, and justice for our veterans, you’re not really honoring them.

To athletes and coaches around the world: REFUSE to come to the United States for the 2028 Olympics. Do NOT endorse what is happening in the country. Do not come. That’s how you show you are against the authoritarian takeover.
