Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
Tonight on @allinwithchris.bsky.social at 8pm
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
I'm f'cking IN! Had chills and tears - such bravery - listen to them. WTF is Trump hiding? Bigger than pedophilia? International financial corruption? Espionage? CIA? What is/who are being protected? Melania? His sons? GET IT ALL OUT - DEMS OR GOP - DON'T GIVE A SHIT #ReleaseTheTrumpsteinFilesNow
To the brave women who spoke today about the horrors of Epstein/Maxwell, I say this: For any legal concerns about speaking the names of people who sexually abused you and others, have no fear of legal expenses; I'm sure plenty of angry Americans will help fund you. Count me in. Get it done.
EXACT CORRECT QUESTION - WHY???
“Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?” Epstein survivor
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”
Mike Johnson faces escalating pressure as House GOP prepares for Epstein vote.
Once Epstein's survivors start naming powerful men, including Donald Trump, it's going to be hell for Republicans who are stalling their own radicalized base that demands answers and release of the files. They can't keep distracting.
When young people ask me why they should get involved – I tell the story of Grace.
In a metaphor that was too on-the-nose, there was a military flyover in Washington, D.C. that drowned out Epstein survivors who were speaking out. I'm happy to report they persisted.
AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.
Exactly 👍 💯
Trump uses his favorite excuse when it comes to the Epstein files
I am so tired of paying so much to live while rich people amass more wealth than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes. I’m so tired.
The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
Governor Pritzker giving high energy, intelligent presser. What a contrast.
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
Brilliant.
Make sure you tune in. I hope this press conference gets as many views as the Super Bowl, the World Cup, and the Olympics combined.
“Community Notes for the Win!”
We are overdue for a “ Have you no decency” kind of moment.
That Pritzker presser? Unreal. A sitting governor saying, flat out, the Union is coming apart and his state is being invaded by an authoritarian regime. This is a whole new level of crisis.
#ProudBlue Since Trump was re-elected, voters are avoiding the news It's been 10 months but the people can’t seem to face Trump’s lies The people will resume watching the news when we see fierce Democrats holding Republicans accountable Negativity must be replaced by real and strong positivity
It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:
Kristi Noem literally attacked CBS for not airing her *false* claims about Abrego Garcia. If this continues, journos should state plainly that they're not in the business of amplifying MAGA lies and smears, and any official who expects them to can stuff it. New piece newrepublic.com/article/1998...
RFK Jr. has desecrated federal vaccine policy, putting Americans' public health at severe risk. He has upended CDC vaccine guidance and given authority to unqualified, anti-science quacks. If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to decide if citizens can still enforce the Voting Rights Act, after a federal appeals court ruled that only the government — not private citizens — can sue to enforce protections against racial discrimination in voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Release the Epstein files.
Evil human - truly
He sure showed these 11 bad guys in a literal canoe who the real terrorist is with a million dollar missile.
Historians, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the entire reason states are allowed to maintain a "well-regulated militia" (i.e., a National Guard) under the Second Amendment because of the fear of tyranny of the federal government, which controls a standing federal army?
What a twat. Oh your vacation was ruined? My tax paying ass doesn’t have bodily autonomy ACROSS A COUNTRY FOR WHICH I PAY FEDERAL TAXES. What medical rights do men lose when they cross state lines based on a singular religion’s wants and desires? www.rawstory.com/abortion-267...
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Good point
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Today, we heard harrowing stories from survivors of Epstein's abuse. Epstein is dead, but the hurt & harm he caused is alive and well. We'll keep pushing for accountability, including a public Congressional hearing with survivors and the release of the full Epstein files.
A source in the Epstein meeting with the survivors and Speaker Johnson told me that powerhouse attorney Sigrid McCawley informed him that there would be the names of other men who trafficked her clients in the DOJ's Epstein files
The President saying “we’re going in” — about deploying the military to an American city just to terrorize its people — should be immediately impeachable. Full stop.
@timmiller.bsky.social on the Trump family's crypto profits: “Agnew resigned over $10K in a paper bag and…some other side deals. But this is $5 billion.” @stuartpstevens.bsky.social: “And no one in the Republican Party will say a thing.”
And pass the ERA!
Democrats "have to give up on the idea that they're a governing party. They have to give up on the idea that the Republican party is a traditional political party of which you can have some sort of meeting of the minds." @stuartpstevens.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social:
A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
@daniellismore.bsky.social
Stop saying “retard.” It’s not “just a word.” It’s a slur. That word has been weaponized for decades to dehumanize people with intellectual & developmental disabilities. Using it doesn’t make you edgy. It makes you an ableist. Period. #Ableism #DisabilityRights
To be a political reporter in 2025, you have to be gullible enough to believe that a convicted felon who launched a violent coup attempt is worried about crime. Or you just have to be willing to pretend you’re that gullible. Either way, we deserve better.
There is something unspeakably terrible but also hilarious that in the future historians are going to have to teach people about the time the government used a kid named Big Balls as an excuse to invade an American city with feds and national guardsmen
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
It’s odd that the president would need to give an Oval Office address about something as arbitrary (albeit idiotic) as moving Space Force or renaming the DoD. I have to assume he’s doing it because he knows the world thinks he’s hiding.
When him and Mika ran down to the shit hole in Florida to kiss his orange cottage cheese stinking ass after the last election I have not watched one time, and I used to watch it daily
I really hate Joe Scarborough. He’s such a jackass.
And I share it!
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
“When a leader has no substantive policies to heal a nation’s wounds, he opens new ones with the sword of state violence.”
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
Simple: Someone who dies defending the Constitution is not the same as someone who dies attacking it.
It’s corruption, plain and simple.
A 42 year old man got angry at kids pressing his doorbell, so he shot an 11 year old in the back and people are blaming the kid? It’s a prank we all did. If you didn’t do it, then your childhood sucked. Fuck these goddamn undisciplined and egotistical gun owners.
Gun murders last year: US: 17,927 England & Wales: 22 Here's the data, per capita, in the chart below. It's the guns. I wrote about the evidence, with lots of data, along with a more personal response to the Annunciation Church shooting (where I was baptized): www.forkingpaths.co/p/guns-at-an...
The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction for disputes between states (meaning they can actually file the lawsuit there, rather than have it go up on appeal). This would be a good time for Illinois to utilize it.
Trump is scared to death of what’s in those Epstein files.
Eternal gratitude to every victim of Jeffrey Epstein coming forward. #Epstein www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/u...
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
A 3-judge panel of the 5th Circuit held late Tuesday that the Alien Enemies Act did not apply to Venezuelan migrants the Trump administration says are members of the Tren de Aragua gang, which they claim is invading the US. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...
Sure looks to me like Confederate states’ militias are preparing to invade Union states on behalf of our traitor-loving president…
Newsom Derangement Syndrome! 🤣🤣🤣 This rocks!!!
🎯 100% agree - unrelenting offense - public & right in their faces Dems need to 'bring it' in order to meet the moment right now
Dems "need to just go at this stuff and they need to *very* personalize it. I would be putting billboards in front of Mike Johnson's church, saying, does Mike Johnson support a pedophile? Child sex trafficker in a Club Fed?" Stuart Stevens joins Tim Miller:
Just this week, Trump administration cuts forced a clinic researching pediatric cancer to shut down And the worst part is, this wasn’t the first time
She’s my favorite. I miss her a lot
I MISS JOY REID!
Full video from Katie Phang’s YouTube channel here: youtu.be/HZ8oukRBtJE
Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump. All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.
COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.
😮😉🤣 THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST ONE YET FROM THE VERY HANDSOME CA GOV. .
This Venezuelan strike is gonna put a damper on his Nobel Peace Prize campaign, but it won’t do a damn thing to stop the Epstein files.
🎯
The Democratic party leadership is only concerned with finding moderates who don't rock the boat too much – and that's the exact opposite of what we need and what this time demands.
Awesome 👍💥
It's really quite a thing to have a Secretary of Energy who does not understand, ummm... energy.
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
Gavin Newsom mocking Karoline Leavitt as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games 👏🏼🤣🏆

Mandelson kept working with Epstein 5 years after paedophilia conviction. Leaked emails show Blair's right-hand man kept asking convicted child rapist and trafficker for help and advice for years...
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Not only will Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie be at tomorrow’s press conference with the Epstein survivors — but Marjorie Taylor Greene will be there as well.
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
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?"
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
They were collateral damage for him - he's an evil human And it didn't work - we still want ALL of the Trumpstein files released NOW
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
If you haven't seen this already - this is a must see! Praying she has the fortitude & safety to at some point surface with the other witnesses And if not, that she feels some vindication #ReleaseTrumpsteinFilesNow
