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.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trump’s troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. That’s not politics...that’s spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.🔥
"Congratulations to President Donald Trump and his whip-smart administration on turning America’s brave National Guard troops into the most expensive gardening crew in human history." https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/08/28/trump-national-guard-picking-up-trash-dc/85853498007/
"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
Bold move to empty out the CDC when you're one rough Stephen Miller handshake away from death.
when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work
here's the thing, don't feel bad about enjoying this moment because if he is still alive, he is now watching literally the entirety of the english speaking globe celebrating and laughing at the thought of him dying, and THAT is worth it alone
Goodness, if the President has a serious health problem I certainly hope he follows the expert medical advice of his Secretary of Health and Human Services

Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Wtf America
Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning. RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.
Trump is a troll, yes. But when he threatens to run again or stay in office in 2028, he means it. Watch Rick Wilson analyze these threats on MSNBC:
Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
It’s easier to purchase an assault rifle in the U.S. than it is to get a COVID19 vaccine. But food dyes and wearable fitness monitors are going to fix everything.
You may already be aware of this. If so...it's good reinforcement: The President of Portugal branded Trump a RUSSIAN ASSET. Whether it’s true or not doesn’t even matter; what matters is this: world leaders see Trump as weak...compromised...and beneath respect.
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.
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
BREAKING: A U.S. appeals court has ruled that most of Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs...imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act...are illegal...arguing that the president overstepped authority reserved for Congress. Tariffs stay in place during appeal.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
JD Vance isn't the only one counting down... New episode of The Breakdown starts in 10 minutes on YouTube.
We must find these people who are doxxing..... oh, wait.
Don't forget. Don't let up. There's a reason why magats don't want to discuss this.
Half of Christian evangelical television is definitely on the Epstein List.
NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
Stop selling ammo
Other countries have crime and mental health challenges. What they don’t have is more guns than people. Only America has that. Enough with the excuses. It’s the guns.
I was on with Nicolle Wallace and got to break news! We discussed the ongoing redistricting wars and a lot more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h68Y...
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Fuck your prayers
He’s the Vice President of the United States. He could actually *do* something about this instead of just play pretend games.

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants. This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters. It was always about cruelty.
70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter. We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.
Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who was shot while committing a violent crime that demonstrated a clear intention to do bodily harm to the people on the other side of those doors. The officer ended the threat she represented...as they were required to do by lethal force if necessary. It was
The national news will move on, but Minnesota will not.
You think we weren’t prepared for the last pandemic ….
This is heinous and Gowdy should be out of a job for saying it
Where were his parents????
Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.
We don’t need or want you here, Donald.
Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.
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.”
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: “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."
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
BREAKING: Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appear to be conspiring to kill as many Americans as possible. The CDC Director has been ousted.
Apparently it does because no administration ever changes the gun laws
Illinois is holding the people of Minnesota closely to our hearts today. The start of the school year should be a time of renewed hope, not gun violence and devastation. We stand with the victims and their families in Minneapolis.
It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.
And the media remains silent
What. The. Fuck. Is. He. Talking. About.
Only in America are guns more valued than kids
Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.
Stupid parents
Ignorance isn’t harmless...it's a public health hazard. Missouri’s kindergarten vaccination rate has dropped to 90%...below the 95% herd immunity threshold. We’re not just vulnerable...we’re sweating. Dumb f*&^ing people. www.columbiamissourian.com/news/state_n...
Why cant any president change the gun laws??????
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.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has filed a new bid to stay in the U.S. The Salvadoran man who was illegally deported in March has reasserted his claim for asylum.

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
Disgusting
Another successful cabinet meeting with Dear Leader
Back in February, I asked why an unelected oligarch and his band of minions felt entitled to your Social Security number. Six months later, it's clear it has ended in disaster. The Trump admin must answer for this violation of public trust that has put all Americans' private information at risk.
The GOP is the NRA is the GOP is the NRA.
Disgusting! He was fired for prosecuting people who had stormed the U. S. Capitol that day, assaulting police officers, vandalizing a landmark & disrupting the sacrosanct moment in a democracy, the transfer of presidential power. He was fired for doing his job. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/n...
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.
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.
Republicans would lose their minds.🤯
Word is Trump already has covert forces tucked away in Greenland. Think about that. While Americans are arguing over gas prices...he’s planting the seeds of a shadow empire on ice...proving Project 2025 isn’t just domestic. It’s global...and it’s moving fast.
