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”
DESCRIPTION: self-described alpha male, wearing body armor, assault rifle, and wraparound sunglasses because he’s “afraid of nothing.”
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.

ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
Feel "FREE" to RE-Post. These dirt bags are trying to destroy our country through Propaganda and ushering in Fascism.
This is when the news used to report news
As rumors fly that Trump has suffered a stroke, I was reminded that the motherfucker has always been a loathsome piece of shit. To make more money with a different tenant, Trump threw 74-year-old widow, Mary Filan, who had recently suffered a stroke out of her Queens apartment.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
Another confirmation of why I cancelled the Times
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
I ❤️ this idea
substack.com/@dannied/not... Blue states should band together to draft a constitutional amendment for universal healthcare. If red states can organize to ban rights, blue states can organize to save lives. Healthcare is a human right. Put it in the Constitution
Please don’t make Lisa the new Karen (from a Lisa)
Me logging onto social media just now.
And make DC a state
Just in case you forgot…
BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey JUST CALLED FOR a statewide and federal ban on assault weapons. Who’s with him?
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.
Sen Patty Murray (D-WA): “If there are any adults left in the White House, it’s well past time they face reality… We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired.”
substack.com/@democraticw.... Listen to this again. ITS SPOT ON🎯

The guy responsible for the most massive crime wave in U.S. history...is telling you he's crushing crime. Read that a couple more times.
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m 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.
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
🚨BREAKING: In a landmark victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state Legislature’s gerrymandered congressional map and reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
California voters are leaning YES on the redistricting ballot. 48% in favor, only 32% opposed. People get it. The narrative is on our side. Remember: CA puts it to the voters. Texas skipped the people. Ours is a one-time fightback that returns to the commission. Texas’ gerrymandering is permanent.
Afraid of big cities? Then don’t come. ❤️ this video.
Yep, will find a financial solution so don’t get your hopes up
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
The Supreme Corpse
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.
Truth Art! #arresttrump #art
BREAKING: VETERAN'S BEGIN A SIT-IN IN WASHINGTON DC AND WON'T STOP UNTIL THE MILITARY LEAVES TOWN
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
So glad I live in a blue state! Thanks NJ
Habba fired again! Federal judge ruled she cannot serve as a federal prosecutor after being illegally appointed. After she was fired the first time by US district judges and reappointed by Bondi, judge ruled Courts needs to follow the law not the President. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news
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"
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
Governor Gavin Newsom is knocking it out of the park! If you’re not on board with Newsom, there’s no one else FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE so you best join the fighters.
Ingraham: Their take is of course she was going to say this because she wants a pardon, she wanted better digs, and she got transferred, and you say? *Camera cuts out*
Congrats, MAGA! You're complicit in covering up one of the most vile child sex-trafficking rings in history. Jeffrey Epstein thanks you for your service! Catch up on all of today's news here: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...
It’s the righteous problem Dems have. If you don’t agree 100% with everything you are not pure enough. Dems need to stop this. That’s our beauty. We embrace different ideas on how to get to the end goal. Let’s keep it real on what’s important people!
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.
A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.
Gavin Newsom’s late-night message to Fox
This is my rep. I don’t know who I’m more embarrassed for, Van Drew or my district for voting him in numerous times
After folks marched in front of the man’s house with watermelons, you are mad that he has hasn’t endorsed that uncommitted guy and said his stance on income-controlled housing is a legitimate issue? 🤷🏿♀️
An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.
New episode just dropped
#NeverForgetTheEpsteinFiles
The REAL STORY is STILL THIS: AND WE MUST KEEP IT THAT WAY.
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
Hahahahaha
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
My evangelical boss’ wife told me that because I didn’t believe in Christ I was going to hell. I replied that I have 2 thoughts on that. 1) no good Christian would say that to another person and 2) I don’t believe in hell so I’m good.

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.
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
Great. And thanks for Rupert Murdock too
The owner of a 125 acre Oregon cherry orchard will lose $300,000 plus this season. His cherries are shrivel like big black raisins, still on the trees…because ICE wiped out over half of his work force….and he couldn’t get them picked. The stupidest MF’r in America…is president.
James Lovell dies at 97. He commanded the troubled Apollo 13 spacecraft and was played by Tom Hanks in a Hollywood film. He was one of my childhood heroes. I grew up in that exciting Apollo/NASA era...and had lots of astronaut related toy stuff. RIP, Commander Lovell.
This bodega owner pays for good report cards! #blacksky #AMomentofJoy Academic Division!
🚨 State Representative Ann Johnson from Houston, TX, is speaking some truth to power. Her message carries weight; it carries values, American values. ✊🏼
My apologies for being so snarky.
This took me a few tries as it is not an easy thing for to soeak about. However, it feels necessary as this administration begins to erase us from history, and once again, play the victim of some giant “hoax”. I mispronounce Maxwell’s name, but this take was as good as I could get
We have a lot to learn from our mistakes. We are flawed. We are violent. But we can change. We can see a better future for everyone. We can work towards ideals. The arc of justice is long but we can work hard towards it. Hope is what keeps us going. Don’t give up hope. Look how far you’ve come
Bomb threat at the hotel Texas Dems are staying at in Illinois.
That’s what you took out of this press conference??? Are you still alive?
The lesser evil, the greater evil, evil is evil. That being said, I do not believe the Dems are the party of evil.
Being a senior I totally agree but do think there is a time to step back and mentor the next generation. Too much power and money gets in the way
My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.
Not great that people like Micah Beckwith are in positions of power but don’t understand how our constitution works, and are arrogant in their ignorance.
He is at professor at George Washington University. Shame on you GW!
