We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

The Trump Admin ordered CA’s national guard to be federalized and deployed for an additional 90 days. We’re asking the court to block this new deployment order & return control to Governor Newsom. The initial deployment of these troops was unjustified – deployment for an extra 90 days is absurd.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
Not a hero, more like got caught and flipped to save his ass. Interesting that she would provide that info thinking it's helpful, if true, how many other people did he sell out to save his own skin over the years, wow
Yeah, I don’t know …
SCOOP: Sources at the House Oversight Committee confirm documents posted by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna are the same ~33,000 pages of Epstein documents they received — 97% already public — and part of a broader plan to block transparency.
The LGBTQ+ will not be silenced. DeSantis should be more concerned about the children being rapped by people of his party than about peaceful people who harm nobody. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/man-...
The Trump admin is now moving to effectively double the number of immigration judges by citing flimsy legal authority to deputize hundreds of totally inexperienced military lawyers to take these jobs. Notably, immigration law is infamously complex, often described as second only to tax law.
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
Susan Collins wants credit for “concern” but NONE for accountability 🙄. America doesn’t need weak voices—we need leaders! 💪🗳️ #DemocratsDeliver
Rest in Power, Graham Greene. His big break in Hollywood came with his role in Dances With Wolves and continued with dozens of roles in film and television. 🪶💔
Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes. Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.
We're in court today challenging the Trump administration's targeting of people attending their mandated immigration court hearings. Systematically arresting people carrying out their legal duty is unconstitutional.
Thankfully, it's all a made-up fairy tale. Too bad so many actually believe it, and they hold back humanity.
It's always attack the victim with these assholes, take care. Some days you don't need to fight, let others do it for you, rest and heal.
I was asked to read this. Mentions my work on Border Patrol CIT but again gives all credit to SBCC/Alliance SD. When I saw Jean Guerrero wrote it, I knew SBCC was behind it. Andrea Guerrero gave my research to CBP to warn them. That is why there was no accountability. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/o...
Unable to read, and refuse to subscribe to NYTimes Hard to know who to trust when orgs betray you, I know I can trust you, believe you and will stand with you. Fuck them your truths are real and lived testimonials.
🧵 I need to spend the day beating my hands up in the garden. I find what Andrea Guerrero has done to my work & to me debilitating. This has already cost me 2 near mental health breakdowns & still she continues thus abuse. I risk my life divulging these secrets, & sge stole my work & killed my book.
I'm sure her book will leave out how she lied under oath during the confirmation hearing. Will she address the blood on her hands- Until the horrific outcome of denied abortion happens to one of her family, she like all hypocrites will stand firm on harming others.
Abortion and having say so over your own body is NOT a complicated moral debate and nobody cares about your personal beliefs #amyconeybarrett Feelings are not supposed to be involved when you are a SCOTUS. Shove it! #Pinks www.rawstory.com/abortion-267...
For decades, we’ve been told that prosperity trickles down. But it hasn’t, it’s been sucked upward. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
Trump's Cabinet is out of control. It's up to the Democrats to show Americans how absurd their behavior is Norm Ornstein explains why Dems need to starting shadow impeachment hearings on RFK, Gabbard etc. ASAP
Unfortunately true, a perfect scenario for our adversaries to infiltrate.
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Well Donald Trump, you did the unthinkable. You're underwater on EVERY KEY ISSUE. But hey, look at the bright side: at least you've got your health! #uspoli #canpoli #polls #cdnpoli #donaldtrump #polling #maga #gop #congress #rfkjr #hhs #potus #rfk #economy #trade #approval #immigration #inflation
"Julia's" picking tomatoes CA San Joaquin Valley. " I get up at 2am to get ready for the day. We start work early cause of the heat. Once it gets hot, we can't harvest as fast. We usually work 4-5 hrs. It's hard, but this is peak season when we could earn the most." #WeFeedYou
If 2pm presser is about Venezuela, my prebunk/theory: Trump's military provocations on Venezuela are a way to create a factual basis to sustain his Alien Enemies Act deportations. And, he may try to use it to expand his original executive order to all Venezuelans, not just TdA
📌 Nice to see D.C. show up day after day. ✊🏼 Power to the people!
Long after he is gone, we will be left with what we now know about our family members and friends and neighbors; about the people in our churches, about the parents of our children’s friends; about the pillars of our communities, about those we trust to govern, protect, and serve us.
If he departs this mortal sphere as I type this, it will do nothing to undo all the evil that his now bruised hands have wrought, to erase every vile thing his presence has exposed as he ascended politically. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-dont-wis...
Agree, defined duties works well- Homepage "...Army and Air National Guard so they can perform their missions as the primary combat reserve of the Army and the Air Force to fight and win the nation’s wars, protect the homeland and assist communities in times of natural or human-caused disaster."
We could station National Guard around your kids’ schools to prevent mass killings. OR Station them to collect those machine guns killing them. OR Station them to help in natural disasters that are on the rise. OR just use them as political props.
My latest Substack piece on how Trump's fake "emergencies" are his tell when he wants to violate a law or someone's civil rights katiephang.substack.com/p/trumps-end...
Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned. Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned. Thousands of January 6th rioters? Pardoned. Anyone who opposes Trump? Prosecuted.
the June immigration protests. The judge said Trump had essentially turned soldiers into a domestic police force, violating the Posse Comitatus Act the law that bars presidents from using the military to enforce laws against civilians inside the United States.
The Generals who obeyed the unlawful order sending in their troops knew it unlawful but still obeyed trump, we need to hold them accountable. Where are the military prosecutors upholding their oath, they are all complicit
Trump is in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Maybe he needs to rethink his pending announcement.
Trump sends the National Guard to blue cities while ignoring rising crime elsewhere. VoteVets’ Max Rose: “If Trump cared about safety, he’d have a national strategy — not stunts.” All politics. Zero leadership.
What Mamdani is saying here is that the people for whom Nadler was a hero and the people who are glad he's stepping aside don't need to be enemies—that both camps can honor his service and his decision. It's not just deft, it's coalition-building. It's healing.
Which, again, is why people who believe it's essential for Dems to come together in a big, broad tent in the coming years—and I am one of those people—need to be getting behind Mamdani and urging others to do so. There's no Democratic big tent without him in it. For a hundred reasons.
“I think we need a grassroots movement in this country which transforms the Democratic Party into a party of the working class that is prepared to fight for the issues relevant to the working class,” Sanders says. “And that’s what Graham Platner is about.” More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
This Labor Day, we took to the streets all across the nation, in defiance of the Trump regime, in rejection of the billionaire takeover, and in solidarity with one another. This movement is not slowing down. Every day, we are building people power from the bottom up—mobilizing to fight, and to win.
“It’s a sweeping decision that unequivocally rebukes President Trump’s idea that he can impose tariffs on American consumers on his own without the approval of the Congress.”
JUST IN: A California judge rules that Trump's deployment of the guard to LA was illegal
Trump's tariffs are basically illegal, federal appeals court rules
How it’s done in Australia vs. US media: The article on Bovino never even mentioned all the illegal shit Bovino has done like using secret & illegal coverup teams & getting high ranking agents out of violent crimes. This is why you all have no idea who is in your streets.
I have said this before and will repeat, Peter Thiel is very dangerous to our country and our democracy. He is the person promoting J. D. Vance and Project 2025.
If you want to see where MAGA is headed, look no further than this week’s National Conservatism summit. Here, the vision of a single religion, as the glue that holds a nation-state together, is at the forefront. Read @kieraevebutler.bsky.social on the ideology undergirding the conference and MAGA.
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.

Lopez: I got COVID for the first time and can't smell. But RFK Jr.'s vaccine policies still stink
180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.

Labour Day is over, but the fact remains: everything good about the west is thanks to the blood, tears and sacrifice of unions. No concession came as a gift, there has always been a fight. Every regulation to save lives written in blood.
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.
Meanwhile, conservative, red state Trump supporters, evangelicals, Baptists, sheriffs, police, border security are arrested for child, rape, trafficking, pornography every day in USA
Let me see if I understand this: Trump, the “anti-war President,“ will be renaming the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.” Got it.
COVID was Dems' fault because they acknowledged it. Any societal disruption could've been avoided if only we pretended. First time US media and voting public didn't hold the president responsible for a bad thing on his watch. Even as he messed it up on live TV. Nothing I can think of comes close.
After judges from across the political spectrum found that Trump administration policies were likely illegal or unconstitutional, the Supreme Court has frequently reinstated those policies without any explanation.
Susan Collins should actually be *concerned*. I'm not sure if Maine wants this, but I've been waiting to hear someone tell everyone who Collins is for more than a decade.

If I was a foreign invader that wanted to conquer us, I’d put in place a cruel & incompetent government just like this to rip the country apart, so I don’t have to. They’re literally destroying everything great about America, which has been a Russian goal for a long time. Coincidence or orders?
Being a tomato dumper is hard work. This crew of 28 pickers harvests thousands of 24lb buckets a day. That makes for a lot of work for the two dumpers. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
This week, Oversight Committee Dems are meeting with many of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We will listen to their stories and continue our work to seek justice against anyone responsible for these horrific crimes.
Trump is not dead. He just smells that way.
Support for Trump amongst his youngest voters is already collapsing. And, trust me, we’re gonna keep dragging it down. 🫡
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
Good ol days were not so good
The country is being run by drug addicts, reality tv stars and fox news hosts.
Thank you on this labor day!!
The president’s military occupation of the capital has escalated in recent days into something not seen since British troops marched the streets of colonial Boston.
Sad loss, he was a beloved actor, he will certainly be missed
RIP sir... a huge talent. "Graham Greene, a Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73."

Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
Veterans against Trump‼️ 💯 Absolutely Correct
What a shithole 3rd world country we've become. Instead of concentrating on searching for possible school mass murderers in our midst, we're spending $500,000,000.00 on a ballroom for the entitled rich. =====================
After Dems solve the issue MAGA takes the credit while all along they were being a hindrance, the vicious cycle needs to stop
It’s another LIE
HAPPY LABOR DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT IS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY WITH A SICK WARPED RADICAL MIND, KILLING SMALL BUSINESSES WITH CRAZY TARIFFS, TAKING HEALTH CARE FROM CHILDREN, PARDONING J6 THUGS, SENDING THE "PRIVATE ARMY" TO ARREST GRANDMA, WRECKING OUR BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT,

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again: Cities are not test grounds for the president to enact egregious, unconstitutional, uncalled for military takeovers. The Trump Administration’s stunts and performance have no place in our cities.
