To the people saying “good, let the stupid people die” that’s not how it fucking works. Unvaccinated people get other people sick. Babies too young to be vaccinated, immune compromised people, people who can’t get vaccinated for a medical reason, etc. without herd immunity, people will fucking die.
Can't stop thinking about how if Alex Acosta had not given Jeffrey Epstein that sweetheart deal... countless victims would've been spared... and Donald Trump might never have been elected POTUS.
This tactic - pressuring corporations financially until they put a regime friendly voice in charge - is exactly how Orbán took over the free press in Hungary
Good God - why does it have to be Rand Paul saying the obvious stuff? Where the F are Democrats?

It's not even the fact that our government is being run by fascists which is sending me into a spiral, it's the fact that so many institutions which previously tried to at least feign disgust are leaning into the fascism this time.
Is this who we are? That is what our next election will be about, both in our fight to have one, and in the votes we cast.
Is this who we are?
Is this who we are?
This is all so gross. A vote for Cuomo is a vote for Trump. Every New Yorker should know this. And for @SenSchumer & @RepJeffries to continue withholding their support from Zohran is outrageous.
This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the US’s (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists don’t work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.
Fucking weird choice, Carney. This guy is obviously a straight-up fascist who deserves no time. You can interview him and other fascists about trade policy, I guess, but bloody hell, a Cabinet meeting? Please @mark-carney.bsky.social
Oh, you stupid, stupid man . . . admitting that you had *thousands* of pages related to Jeffrey Epstein isn't the show of innocence you think it is. Nor is sending fighter jets to distract from your victim's press conference today.
Trump on Epstein Files: This is a Democrat hoax. They’re trying to get people to talk about something that is totally irrelevant…
As a governor who cares about the well-being of my people, I can’t live in a fantasy land where I pretend Trump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power.
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
I'm calling it -- Donald Trump killed the Epstein story on the right. Prominent MAGA media figures ignored a wave of Epstein news on Tuesday, signaling that Trump’s pressure campaign has paid off with their silence — even as (or, perhaps, because) his own corrupt involvement in the story has grown.
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
Kinda hard to avoid the feeling that the military flyovers taking place over D.C. right now are intentional as ordered to interfere with the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Survivors have paused their remarks until the flyovers pass.
I’m listening to them tell their stories while the guy trying to cover it up is flying fighter jets over their heads. Beyond surreal.
Heather Marsh was 100% correct, you don’t need the #Epstein files when all the survivors and witnesses are still alive and amongst us. We need to support and protect them all so they can tell the world first hand who preyed on them, as they seek accountability. #opdeatheaters
Epstein died in a federal prison while Trump was president. Draw your own conclusions.
Watching the Epstein Survivor press conference and there's Trump's military flyovers. What an asshole.
Why speak publicly now a reporter asks? Because DOJ gave Maxwell a platform and was put on a pedestal. Because Trump called it a hoax. We won’t be silence anymore.
Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.
Dems should Polarize The F--- out of the national debate over RFK, vaccines, and public health
To be clear…
Every single Democrat in Congress is voting to release the Epstein files. Only four Republicans right now are standing with them. We just need two Republicans to grow a backbone and get justice for the survivors.
You cannot listen to the Epstein survivors talk about their horrific ordeals and not feel waves of heartbreak, shame and anger. Furious fucking anger.
Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."
“THE TRUTH NEEDS TO COME OUT.” Marge, @RoKhanna, @RepThomasMassie ask 2 more Republicans to join Dems + 4 Republicans in demanding the files. The 7 TN GOP reps are cowards. @RepTimBurchett @RepChuck @AndyOgles @RepDavidKustoff @RepHarshbarger @DesJarlaisTN04 @RepJohnRose
“Let me announce now. Several of us, #Epstein survivors, have been discussing creating our own list of names. We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. Now as survivors we will confidentially compile the names we know were regularly in the Epstein world.” #OpDeathEaters
You can't even begin to wrap your head around the Epstein files without first looking at this.
Going to be so many Republican Representatives saying "I didn't see it, I was working" about this survivor press conference.
One of the Epstein survivors (I missed her name, forgive me) just announced a number of the survivors will be compiling their own list of perpetrators involved in the sex trafficking operation.
This is LOL spectacular.
And once they've pulled that off, they'll try to figure out why younger voters are souring on the Democratic Party these days. Maybe pay $50 million to some consultants to come up with some candidates the kids like. No, different ones.
Wherever there's an inspiring younger candidate for office, rest assured that the leadership of the congressional Democrats will do whatever they can to snuff it the fuck out. Jeffries already has Mamdani covered, so Schumer is going to take down Platner.
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Spoken like a true American.
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
Schumer is out of his fucking mind. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.
This sycophancy would make North Korea blush
What are they pumping into Donald Trump right now to give him energy to do this press conference that was scheduled for 2 pm but still hasn't started at 2:36 pm? Any guesses? This is what corporate media and MAGA did 24-7 with Biden. Perfectly fair to ask.
"President starts low-level conflict by trying to get Nobel Peace Prize" is the funniest story going, can't get enough
the sunglasses keep falling off
Today, Congress is back in session. Priority #1: The Epstein files must be made public. The victims deserve justice, and Americans deserve the truth.
100 percent
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, what’s the timeline for the book on how the President went missing like a week after he had weird bruising on his hands?
Dear Donnie, We still haven’t forgotten about the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter. -USA
Trump is a hell of a carny pitchman, I have to give him that. When a ton of people tune in, he's going to say he's sending troops to Chicago. Probably started the rumor he's sick or dead himself.

Assuming he's sick, l just pray he follows the medical advice of "one of the world's foremost voices, advocates and experts on public health," RFK Jr.
Pro drop off gone awry presumably.
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.
If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

This is the kind of thing you post at 6:54 if you might be dead.

Dear Democratic Leaders, If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all. Also, they’re *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.
Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
I do not believe for one second he was helping a DV victim before he got into the car crash. I'm going to need proof of that, given his treatment of women in the past.

So bizarre...also, release the Epstein files.
I can't wait to find out why this statement is so bizarre.
Ro Khanna and Massie are holding a press conference on Tuesday with 10 Epstein survivors...over/under there's a "medical emergency" to distract from it?
And this is why I think there will be a "medical emergency."
