āIt was so risky that it required the Presidentās direct approval.ā Please READ THIS (Gift link). Thereās a lot going on but this was a huge story that is getting no play. When asked by reporters this week Trump said itās the first heās heard of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...
Release the UNREDACTED, complete Epstein Files! The only redactions should be the names of Epsteinās victims.
The speaker of the house repeating a preposterous Qanon fiction about the president actually being a confidential FBI informant to supposedly help take down his good friend's pedophilia trafficking operation is one of those brain breaking "just another Thursday" things we get to live with now

Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).
Government not by fact but by ideology. Always a disaster because officials try to make reality fit their vision. Lysenkoism in the USSR, which tried to change the laws of nature, created famines that killed tens of millions of people in the USSR and China.
Agreedā¦especially the last part.
1. Wild Saturday Night 2. Wild Saturday Night 3. Attempt at Wild Saturday Night 4. Putin with much assistance from Mitch McConnell and an uneducated electorate.
Nobody should be surprised by this. Nobody at all.
Duckworth: "Let's make it clear -- the President of the United States essentially just declared war on a major city in his own nation. This is not normal. This is not acceptable behavior."
Trump started his tariff war, and Moscow Mitch allowed him to run his criminal enterprise from The Peopleās House by refusing to complete the impeachment. Canada just put a stop to it.
Donāt blame Canada. They didnāt start a tariff war. Trump did that, and he wouldnāt be running a criminal enterprise from The Peopleās House if Moscow Mitch McConnell had voted to impeach.
This part.
Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger. You didnāt earn the right to wear it. Stolen valor at its worst.
Think his orders for killing North Koreans in his first term could cost him love letters in the future? š”

The last time he gave money to the farmers to bail them out from their loss of sales to China, didnāt he borrow the money fromā¦China???
They donāt call it socialism when itās money for Republicans. Itās only socialism when it goes to someone else.
Trump is declaring war against Americans , but is it because heās afraid of us seeing what is in the Epstein files? open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed. So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trumpās plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.
Priorities.
Pettiest man alive.
The line Trump referenced today from Apocalypse Now, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning," is about the absurdity of war and the profound psychological damage it inflicts on everyone involved. Seems like Trump was, unintentionally, right on target. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Born during WW2, I grew up around people who fought in it. Some even shared experiences. It was a privilege to know them.
Trump and Putin are partners in murder.
The streets of Chicago are full with tens of thousands of people standing up to ICE and Trump. Join us.
HEāS HIDING ILLNESSES! This is tantamount to murder.
Authoritarians thrive on your silence ā be loud ā for America.
Narrator: He owned the libs, only to then get owned by tariffs.
Iām WAITING!!
No ICE! No Trump! No Troops! Thousands gather downtown with organizers @chicago-cata.bsky.social & @icirr.bsky.social in defense of our city and our people.
Big march in Chicago today! Donāt forget to subscribe: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe
Good!!
www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reportedly started detaining immigrants in Boston. The ICE operation in Massachusetts is reportedly going to last several weeks, according to sources who spoke to the New York Times...
āI love the smell of deportations in the morning ā¦ Chicago about to find out why itās called the Department of WAR,ā Trumpās post reads. www.cnn.com/2025/09/06/p...
Itās so seldom that I find myself agreeing with Rand Paul, but DANG!!!!
Iād like all evidence revealed. If heās compromised, Americans should know.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois wonāt be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
President Trump threatened to wage āWARā against Chicago in a social media post Saturday as his administrationās large-scale immigration raids loomed over the city. āThis is not a joke,ā Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wrote in response to Trump's power. āThis is not normal.ā
Heās planning to go to war with Illinois AND Venezuela AND his enemies list because his FOX News Host Secretary of War wants it SO BAD!!
I know itās part 3, but itās the point.
POTUS and the VP come out in favor of war on a US city, and extrajudicial killing by the military of alleged criminals.
Trumpās bid to blackmail SCOTUS into giving him the tariff powers he wants regardless of the law is really a bid to get the case rerouted to the Court of Claims while he keeps violating the Constitution and laws of the United States. I wouldnāt bet against him here. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
This is a talented politician. This is a great ad. Schumer and Jeffries need to wake up and endorse the likely next mayor of New York. youtu.be/u3Ps-S0G0tw
Once again, President Convicted Felon brings people together...to oppose his stupidity.
Good LORD, donāt let this happen! šš³š
Just Trump declaring war on a US city, a normal Saturday
Incredible showing for democracy and against occupation today.
āToday, D. Philipps and M. Cole reported a military strike approved by Trump in his first term that was previously undisclosed. In the New York Times, they reported that in early 2019, Trump okayed a Navy SEAL mission to plant an electronic device in North Korea.ā open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

And that president posted a lot about the vaccines too! Until he learned that his base is stupid antivax he was promoting it every day
At some point, someone's going to ask them why, if all this free money is coming in, they are ending all our medical research and taking food away from hungry children, right?
So, I thought that this meant they were going to just fire all the statisticians. But now I think he means that tens or hundreds of thousands of people are quitting their jobs just to make the stats look bad. I'm not sure which is more insane.
Finally got that negative print. #NFP

When does all the winning start?
āI have the right to do anything I want to do. Iām the President of the United States of America,ā Trump said. āIf I think our country is in danger, and it is in danger in these cities, I can do it.ā Itās not hard to see why Trump feels emboldened. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/doe...

The unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, it's highest level since 2021.
Important for people to understand that the DC occupation's *primary focus* is on rounding up undocumented immigrants. The whole "crime" stuff is, IMHO, mostly for the cameras and to provide justification for the immigration aspect. The same thing is coming to Chicago just as it did in Los Angeles.
We are now experiencing the worst jobs numbers since the last time Trump was president.
Once again, they failed to arrest the CEO OR CFO who lured any illegal aliens with job offers.
Ya know... I can't help but think that we wouldn't be here right now if we had just funded our schools better, and paid our teachers more.

Free speech absolutists now censoring sidewalk chalk
CNN put together a clip of RKF Jr denying today he linked antidepressants and mass shootings, followed by a clip of RFK Jr last week linking antidepressants and mass shootings
"'As an artist, something very important in the Constitution is freedom of expression, so censoring art because the president doesnāt like it is really dangerous.'"
Here's a great & alarming piece about a DC federal magistrate judge calling out the unethical practices of U.S. Atty Jeanine Pirro. Please know that Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, knows whereof he speaks. He was a highly regarded, longtime federal prosecutor in DC before joining the federal bench.
The official DOJ Twitter account posting the equivalent of a screenshotted Notes app apology from a phone on 30% battery after the acting director got honeypotted on Hinge and confirmed plans of an Epstein/Maxwell coverup.

In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.ās lies are fueling a public health catastrophe. People will get sick. People will die. Science saves livesāmisinformation kills.
Bragging that you ended 7 wars... and then changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War seems incongruous.
Health and the financial benefits of vaccines. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
So, their replacements will miss the holidays, not the ones currently mulching the parks in DC. Why is that better? Someone will be denied family time over holidays.
These National Guard soldiers will miss Halloween and Thanksgiving with their families. WHY? Didnāt they finish mulching fast enough?
You can help slow down ICEās terror. Talk to local businesses about putting up signage to protect employees from ICE raids and show solidarity with immigrant communities: act.indivisible.org/signup/signs...
DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic peopleā on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."
Sad, but true. š³š¢
The creators of South Park, known for mocking politicians and celebrities, may have made their boldest move yet. Viewers were stunned when Donald Trump's cartoon counterpart was depicted in a relationship with Satan, in a storyline both bizarre and hilarious.
This is what lawlessness looks and sounds like
Remember who his supporters are. They are racist, pedophile supporting, gun loving hypocrites.
White House: āThe strike was fully consistent with the law of armed conflict." Small glitch: We're not in an armed conflict.
I feel better now.

Amazing exchange. RFK Jr. fell right into the trap. But I still blame Senator Cassidy that heās there in that seat at all.
