Pretty damn good campaign launch video from Paige Cognetti.
For your birthday, Iām hoping he will say heās stepping down for the good of the country. Both scenarios are just as likely. Happy birthday.
And, will the Supreme Court agree? The majority are giving him everything he wants.
Trump is going to rename the Dept of Defense to the Department of WAR. Yet this is the same guy who wants the Nobel Peace prize! š¤£
Sarasota, Florida #WorkersoverBillionaires Even with a shower, it was a powerful event. Excellent speakers, great signs, horns honking, lots of thumbs up. @50501Movement.Bsky.social #PeopleOverProfits
@50501movement.bsky.social Tampa Florida, where organizers were kind enough to hold the protest at 5 pm when it was "only" 88 degrees.

"A grand jury would indict a ham sandwich," then-Chief Judge of New York's Court of Appeals, Sol Wachtler, said in 1985. Oh. The. Irony.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
Today is a good day to call your Senators and Representatives (Democratic AND Republican) to ask/demand that Kennedy be removed. Even is family members were opposed to his confirmation.
Itās interesting to see the caps lock is missing. Did Newsomās posts have anything to do with it?
Are they with him now? Can anyone else hear them?
I have decided the only way we will have a woman president is when a vice-president takes office when a male president leaves for whatever reason. I happily voted for two women, but too many voters hold often unrecognized biases against women.
YouTube TV is currently negotiating with and seems concerned they may lose their contract with Fox. If you use YouTube Tv, let them know you are happy to remove Fox as an option. support.google.com/youtubetv/co...
In answer to Francis Scott Keyās question, I believe we no longer have either brave or free.
BREAKING: Fed Governor Lisa Cook just now after Trump tried to fire her: āPresident Trump purported to fire me āfor causeā when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign and will continue my work to support the U.S. economyā
Sadly, we in Florida know he hasnāt gone away.
They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Donāt get lost in the circus.
This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
No more handwringing. Itās time for action. Follow @50501movement.bsky.social and read this article. If you donāt want to read the informative background, skip to āWhat You Can Do.ā
Gap's response matters because it demonstrates that resistance is still possible, even profitable. Their KATSEYE campaign became their most successful campaign ever, proving that inclusion is economically smart. In a moment when corporations are being pressured to abandon diversity initiatives, Gap
Least surprising headline ever.
Why is anyone interested in Maxwellās transcript? Interview the young women she and Epstein victimized.
This isnāt about John Bolton, so whatever you think about him is irrelevant. It is about every person who dares to publicly criticize Trump. It is about intimidating and silencing all of us, and it will work with some. There are going to be many more Boltons in the coming months.
People are constantly asking me ā what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

At one time, I would have said the Supreme Court would block something so unconstitutional. Now, Iām not so sure.
Big win in our case: the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Trumpās OMB to bring back its spending database by FRIDAY. Transparency matters. Take it from the Bush-appointed judge who wrote the decision š§µ
Why have I been hoarding 39,674 emails? | Emma Beddington
So much winning. š
Do these look like pictures of a winning U.S. President?
A competent President and team reach agreements before a bilateral meeting. They donāt roll out a red carpet for adversaries, particularly ones facing arrest in 123 countries. Trump was played, and the U.S. got nothing. It was a diversion to take the focus off the economy and Epstein.
No agreements. No trilateral meeting. No No press questions. For now, it looks like Trump kissing Putinās a..RING and desperately hoping to move the topic away from Epstein and/or a Nobel Prize. Nothing to see here. #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles
When people say, ādo your own research,ā they generally mean, āgoogle it.ā They generally do NOT mean, āconduct an independent, ethical, peer reviewed study.ā I would love if we spent more time differentiating between āresearch as knowledge productionā and āresearch as knowledge consumption.ā
Dear Noble Prize Committee, I have brought about more peace than any leader in the history of the world. I brought peace to the Middle East (twice). The first time they even gave my son-in-law $2 billion to say thank you. That was very nice. (1/7)
I think I will begin adding āThank you for your attention to this matterā to all my posts. So incredibly vacuous.
They are also now in our doctorsā offices, our schools, our medical records, and our tax records.
The party of small government is now the party of big brother.
Iām hoping they start paying attention when prices of groceries, gas, appliances, and cars go up as I expect them to do.
The Ethicist | I was laid off in April and have had a hard time getting job interviews since then. Can I Photoshop myself into a January 6th photo so I can get hired by the Trump administration?
If youāre going to enforce the law, you need to show your face and say who you are. No more masks. No more unmarked cars. No more invoking fear in our communities. (2/2)
Yes. Yes, you are.

Sounds to me like Costco has confirmed it's not selling a pill it never sold, the religious right have falsely claimed it's their win, and the left has believed them and piled in on Costco which is in fact one of the left's biggest corporate allies. These things are deliberate. Divide and conquer.
Everyone do a Google websearch on the Epstein files, every day.
I believe both can be true.
Watch this and donate. Itās not just about defeating Joni āWeāre all going to dieā Ernst. Itās about having a candidate who can win.
Interesting this whole ālaw and orderā push with grandpa rambling for over an hour comes after the high level meeting designed to move on from Epstein.
It crossed my mind.
How long before an enormous Trump property sign rises over the WH just like the hotels and casinos? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/09/o...
Itās weird to see a pope who seems energetic after so many years.
I am disgusted that we wonāt be able to trust those numbers, but I agree. We will know when our retirement and investment accounts tank, when prices rise by outrageous amounts, and family, friends, and acquiescences lose their jobs.
The Epstein connection and the āBig Beautiful Billā are two sides of the same coin. Trump and his administration cater to and protect the wealthy and elite.
So I asked Elonās Grok to write a fake press release to make fun of Donald Trump, and it appears that Grok has happily joined the Resistance ā¦. š¤£ (1/4)
One look at retirement or investment accounts will also tell how the economy is doing. Most of them dropped yesterday.
They are waiting for her to make up stories to implicate their perceived enemies. The move to more desirable quarters may help her in the process.
A Full Putin.
After today's news about Erika McEntarfer and Ghislaine Maxwell, I challenge anyone to argue that Trump isn't acting like a dictator
Trump can fire the head of Labor Statistics, but he canāt keep people from learning how much prices are rising or how much they are losing in their retirement and investment accounts.
So the numbers next month will be astoundingāhighest jobs report anyone has ever seen.
BREAKING: White House announces selection of new Commissioner of Labor Statistics
This is a great time to call your Republican representatives and senators to ask if they support firing the head of the Department of Labor Statistics because the figures were not complementary. What are the chances we will get accurate reports in the future?
WAG THE DOG.
Stunned? If they follow news and paid attention in economics and history classes, they had to suspect this.
He doesnāt seem concerned about free speech rights when his overlord violates them.
Inflation creeping up, manufacturing jobs lost, and job growth is the lowest since December 2020 (the height of COVID). Maybe electing a guy whose companies bankrupted six times wasnāt such a good idea.

In addition to having a dubious timeline, Trumpās explanation for unfriending Epstein focuses exclusively on his loss of an employee. He has never expressed concern for victims. Why do news sources report what he says as if it has any semblance of truth?
He seems much more concerned that he lost employees than that young girls were raped.
So now heās revoking scientific findings. Can he speak from a burning bush? apnews.com/article/trum...
Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm. Now, taxpayers pay millions to send a president and his family to Scotland for a ribbon cutting for his family business.
āItās so cheap to build a solar panel now. Itās cheaper than producing a plank of woodā¦ā The problem now is red tape and unnecessary expense to get panels installed.
Why does @nbcnews.com repeat Trumpās comment that he didnāt go to Epsteinās island as if it is true?
How long before Orban is no longer Trumpās second favorite dictator?
You didnāt even have to include his name.
This is one of the biggest & most intense heat domes I remember in recent years in the SE/ Midwest. By early week it expands such that everyone in pink has a heat index of 100+, with a few spots peaking near 120. About 350 heat records (day and night) in jeopardy thru next week. #heatwave #heatdome
Brutal weekend ahead!! Record highs possible in Tampa and all across the Bay Area through early next week. Highs 94-98 and peak feels like temps 108-115!!

I've very much changed my view on "the epstein files". Johnson wouldn't shut down the floor to avoid a vote if the contents of the files wasn't worse than the optics of *not* releasing them
When you call legislators to ask/demand the release of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, be sure to include a statement that redactions should only include victimsā not perpetrators and the comment that this appears to be a coverup.
Today is a good day to call your Republican lawmakers to request/demand release of the Epstein files.
š„š„š„š„š„
Will Congress go home early to avoid voting to release Epstein files? Coverup? Stand by.
If youāre as enraged by this as we are, join us in protest of the Trump regime on August 2nd. Across the nation, we will turn our frustration into fuel and our outrage into action. Learn more at RageAgainstTheRegime.org.
BREAKING: In our lawsuit with @publiccitizen.bsky.social the judge just ruled that the Office of Management and Budget must restore its website that shows how it is spending taxpayer dollars. The judge had some strong words for OMB about the illegal removal of the site:
At this point, these NASA employees fully understand that signing a letter like this means the Trump administration will likely fire them and even perhaps go after them personally Yet rather than remain silent, they chose to speak up They are heroes, one and all
With record temperatures hitting the U.S., pet owners have to protect their four-legged family members from dangers like heat stroke and dehydration.
Excellent analysis. Four topics and related hashtags to use repeatedly come to mind. #Standup4Democracy #MakeAmericaAffordable #ImmigrantsAreWelcome #MakeAmericaKindAgain.
I would love to see #StephenColbert resurrect his old Colbert Report character and spend his time skewering Paramont and Trump.
