There’s one issue that is gaining rare bipartisan support in DC: Outrage over the continued stonewalling of the full release of the Epstein files.
Epstein survivor Marina Lacerda: "The worst part is that the government is still in possession right now of documents & information that could help me remember and get over all of this maybe, and help me heal. They have documents w/ my name on them that were confiscated from Jeffrey Epstein's house"
And was there a trial? A judgment? A sentence? Just summary execution on the word of an Administration who has demonstrated no fealty to the truth. Were the folks in that boat “the worst of the worst” like the migrants outside Home Depot?
“I think people should be very concerned, both policy-makers and commuters themselves, about the impact that a back-to-work mandate is going to have on the commute,” said Jennifer Keesmaat, a former chief planner for the City of Toronto."
The fuhq?
ya know what, there is a crime spree happening in america: wage theft, theft of intellectual property, and abuse of power by police. i’d feel a lot more secure if my neighbors weren’t at risk of starving or being beaten up by the cops.
A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.
Make them criminally liable again
See through it.

Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.

You would think that documenting these effects - on farms, in meat-packing plants, in the garment industry, and restaurants would be a popular beat for reporters in MSM.
CNN: “At least 47 killed in Gaza City on Saturday, 6 children… footage showed a row of dead children shrouded in floral blankets… Video from after the attack showed numerous children wandering dazed, covered in blood and dust…” www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/m...

Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.

An important reminder from @rweingarten.bsky.social this #LaborDayWeekend: We meet people where they are, and we realize it's what they hear and feel, not what we say. #WorkersDeserve
The fun would be watching Chump's reaction to it. 🤯 #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Hell. Straight to hell for all of the order followers.
People are responding to our posts about the Venice Film Festival red carpet demanding that we release the Epstein files. If I have to know that, you do too

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.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
Hey, hey! Ho, ho! The national guard has got to go! Hey hey! Ho ho! These federal troops have got to go! Let’s get loud DC! #FreeDC
These two men have proven one thing without a doubt. If you are born wealthy in America no amount of stupidity, lies, or fraud will limit your opportunities. You can fail upwards to the very highest levels of power as long as you have no shame.

For people of a certain age, the most direct connection to James Dobson is Adventures In Odyssey. I couldn't think of a better person to unpack that odd corner of Dobson's legacy than @kevintporter.bsky.social.
NEW: Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook sues Trump after he attempted to remove her from the board for “potentially criminal conduct,” citing mortgage claim allegations. Cook argues the president failed to show requisite sufficient cause for the attempted dismissal.
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.
He's gonna make kids go to work camps because he can atmospherically deduce chakra misalignment.
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

Wow. On NPR, @gbrumfiel.bsky.social reports a Social Security official “copied the Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private section of the agency's cloud.” The source is a whistleblower, who is named: Charles Borges, SSN chief data officer.

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”

Might have to repost this every day. Sorry.
In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Let’s all take a moment to reflect on how this just absolute alpha male sprayed on his hair for TV
It appears this Aakash Singh worked for Sen. Tillis and is a 2017 law grad. He needs to be infamous.
I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!

The thing about dictators is, even if you're on the inside or on the same side...eventually it catches up to you. Look at the military insiders in North Korea Kim has had killed. They were privileged. They had privileged families. They thought this was an "other people problem," until it wasn't.
Where are all the corporate media headlines demanding his resignation? Where are the all the assumptions that about specialists visiting the White House meaning the president is dying? They did this daily with Biden. Why not now? Are they covering for their cash cow? Are they paid to cover it up?

This is 100% correct.

As the Powers that Be are now trashing artists and writers, let's talk up the book *Nasty Women Poets: An Anthology of Subversive Verse* which dates from the previous Bad Times and is still relevant.
The memoir will be released just months after Giuffre’s death.
