Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
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 think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
California stepping up.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
JD Vance: “I don’t believe Trump” will improve the lives of his voters. { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
JD Vance: “Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think, a really bad person.” { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
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!
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
Maybe Red state governors are sending their national guard to DC because they’d be safer there picking up trash than patrolling their own murder capitals.
The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.
Why can’t people see that the level of incompetence in this administration has lead to irreparable harm & more is to come?!
Disgraceful.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning. RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.

I do not understand why government officials resign when asked to do something bad. The resignations will no longer be treated by the public like a scandal. It’ll be out of the news within 24 hours. People should stay and force the White House to fire them. Do not make it easy.
You think we weren’t prepared for the last pandemic ….
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
Isn’t it a shame that our supposed “free” press seems to care more about money than people?
Vanity Fair staffers threaten to walk out over a proposed Melania cover: “We are not going to normalize this despot and his wife… if this happens, i’m gone, and so is half my team.” www.thedailybeast.com/i-will-walk-...
“I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States" This is entirely on you Chief Justice John Roberts. And so is the collapse of our democracy.
This is good, very, very good.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
What an unbelievably stupid time to be alive.
Those who have the power to stop mass shootings can go to hell with their "thoughts and prayers." Do something about it, you evil bastards.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Hi Ron...sorry I see your sheesh and raise you a For F#ck Sake
Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
J.B. Pritzker smashing through the fascism wall like he's the Kool Aid Man
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."
It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...

Well, you know the streets of DC are truly dangerous if they're letting the president go out at night for a photo op.
Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
Of course there will be an appeal and possibly a stay, but hopefully this decision sticks www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
Mike Collins is an idiot. There are 55M people in the world with US Visas. They’re not all here at once. There are about 185 types of visas and in FY2019 there were 3.2M people here on temporary visas.
We’ve posted about this before, but now it’s official a federal judge has made it clear: Alina Habba has been serving as New Jersey’s U.S. attorney without legal authority for over a month.
Purity tests are "death rattle" for the Democratic Party. It's political suicide. We need fighters...not saints.
The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Are there still any good law enforcement officers out there? What do they think of all the white nationalists and thugs pouring into their ranks? What are they doing about it?
That everyone in my timeline responded to the news that child/dog-beating bigot James Dobson had left the planet with a joyous party of celebratory send-offs means the BlueSky algorithm knows my jam.
You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.
The Trump regime is banning gender affirming care coverage for federal employees while mandating conversion therapy coverage. Absolute bullshit. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-admi...
Slavery was bad Pedophilia is bad Release the Epstein files Thank you for your attention to this matter
After mass nationwide boycotts against Target for choosing to end their DEI (diversity equity inclusion) program, they have lost over $12B in sales and the CEO has also officially resigned as a result. Love it, power of the people. 💙👊
Call this what it is: racist! Trump plans to rewrite history, scrubbing “woke exhibits” he claims focus too much on “how bad slavery was.” WOKE: Born in the Black community, meaning alert to racism, injustice & systemic oppression. Hijacked by the right to attack Black folks. Offensive as hell.
There was nothing good about slavery. It happened. It is the history of this country and should not be whitewashed or hidden. Erase the atrocities of the past, and they will reload and repeat.
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.
Lake a vacuous opportunist, an unprincipled mattress-back for the cult of corruption
They hate us because we fight.
Two big takeaways from yesterday. First, by “joking” that if the U.S. were at war in 2028 there would be “no more elections,” brushing aside the constitutional mandate for regularly scheduled votes. Then later, when a hot mic caught him telling French President Macron that
Single day feel-good marches will not end this. We need prolonged action The only way to end this regime is to stop being a part of the machinations that allow it to operate: we need a general strike to grind this all to a halt generalstrikeus.com
Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

We’ve never been closer to finding a potential cure for cancer than we were with mRNA. So of course, RFK Jr. cancelled all government funding for mRNA. God fucking damn it.
This is the way.
Um. Are any corporate media outlets covering this Newsom presser?
i’m a believer in something @therickwilson.bsky.social said recently, which was basically “if they take 5 seats of ours, we take 10 of theirs.” there needs to be pain when they pull this shit.
I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.” It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.
RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim
If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?
He deployed the national guard to evict the homeless but not the insurrectionists.
Key European leaders rallying around Zelensky, traveling with him to DC, is what leadership looks like.
Democratic Governors, you have to play hardball. Red states can't function without your economies. They clearly want to F around. It's find out time.
When people like me say "Trump," we often mean the entire GOP criminal gang. It's important to remember that every Republican who supports Trump is a traitor to our democracy, trading our freedom for their own money and power. It's a traitor party, a stain on our history and a threat to our future.
Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression. Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h. Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either. For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.
"When they go low..." ...F that, time for someone to apply some actionable moral equivalence to these people, where they will then understand the damage they cause
And let me be clear -- I wish on JK Rowling everything that she wishes upon trans people.
Trump is laying the groundwork for martial law and unleashing his Gestapo against Americans who protest. This dude is never leaving office peacefully or legally. People still aren't paying attention.
Perhaps an award for “Breakout Autocrat”?
Snort
Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
So Putin gets a red carpet welcome, a ride in the presidential limo, speaks first at the presser, frames the meeting as a successful talk among equals, while making absolutely no concession on the conduct or outcome of the war.
In other words: They lied.
