"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.
Trump's UN speech was his most embarrassing showing since the "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL" one
Not in a million years. Trump read that word as if he never heard of it.
Fact-checkers working hard to keep up…
I still am stunned, years later, that dozens of cops at Uvalde waited 77 minutes to kill the shooter while kids died. Has ANYONE been held accountable?
Boycotts and cancellations work. These corporations are only successful if we pay them $$.
Jimmy Kimmel is a great example of how pushback works and also how completely craven Shari Redstone was canceling Colbert
"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.
DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."
What he is saying quite clearly is that Pam Bondi must indict several of his long-time political enemies immediately or she will be fired and replaced by someone who will.
Buffoon.
It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"
So unifying
There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
🤷🏼
For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.
Murphy continues to be a really clear voice
We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
This is quite the post. 1. He unambiguously directs his AG to go after those who investigated him for his crimes 2. He admits being influenced by online chatter He is mob bossing out in the open, because he knows he has corrupted every federal law enforcement agency into submission.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.
This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.
Oklahoma is 50th in education because Walters uses kids’ education as his play toy to score his next hit on Fox. He couldn’t care less about kids.
Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."
According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document." Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/
I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.
Pulte should resign
Dear leader wanted CBS destroyed and the David Ellison said how fast? www.npr.org/2025/09/12/n...
The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.
Oh, so guns *do* kill people? Gotcha.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
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?"
How do I know it’s not a distraction? I read Project 2025. He’s following it to the letter.
It’s not a distraction. It’s fascism.
But I was told by everyone on the right that the only person who could deploy the National Guard (or prevent the deployment of the National Guard) was Nancy Pelosi.
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
So ridiculous. (And so familiar)
Inslee: If you need more energy, the dumbest thing you can do is disallow access to wind, solar, and advanced batteries—three of the most productive ways of producing new energy. And yet, that’s exactly what he’s done.
Vance is a fraud. Bought and paid for by Thiel.
Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files
Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."
Article I Sections 9 & 10 of the U.S. Constitution—which limit presidential power over tariffs and protect habeas corpus—have disappeared from Congress’s website. They claim a coding error is to blame.
In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this. Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?
And we're officially at the end of being able to trust the jobs numbers in this country ever again.
None of the Epstein/Maxwell survivors were notified of Maxwell’s transfer to the minimum security facility.
BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.
BREAKING on MSNBC: Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney has confirmed to NBC News that Maxwell has just been moved to a federal prison in Texas. That prison — FPC Bryan in Bryan, TX — is a minimum-security federal prison camp.
Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion Powell: I’m not aware of that. Trump: It just came out Powell: You just added in a third building Trump: It’s a building that’s being built Powell: It was built five years ago.
To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.
They SHUT DOWN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES to avoid releasing the Epstein files.
Commentary: Ohio and Texas could do it. Both states could steal enough congressional seats with new gerrymandered maps for voting districts to fortify the Republican majority in the US House next year, effectively rigging the outcome of the 2026 election ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/22/r...
The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse. The president's job is to "faithfully execute" the decisions we've made and he has signed into law. He may not impound, redirect or confiscate money outside federal law.
Trump thinks he is respected by other leaders, but they know how to play him like a fiddle. And the yes men around him don’t tell him differently.
Here's me literally doing exactly that. #StandingWithStephenColbert
This needs to stay in the news every day. He knows he’s guilty.
He certainly isn’t acting like an innocent person.
Have any of these politicians trying to get access to ICE facilities actually sued to get access? i think the courts would absolutely allow it. Also, only cowards hide their faces, ICE.
The ban would bar members of the state board and county boards from making “written or oral statements intended for general distribution or dissemination to the public at large encouraging or promoting voter turnout in any election.” www.democracydocket.com/analysis/don...
In recent months, the Department of Justice has been contacting states demanding access to sensitive election and voting data. Democracy Docket is the details of where this happening and what they are asking for. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
BREAKING: An Ohio police officer has been placed on leave after using force to remove protesters blocking a bridge during an anti-ICE demonstration. Sickening!
Years later he got hair transplants, heel lifts, started wearing orange makeup, and founded a cult that believes he’s a tough alpha male who is a great family man and devout Christian.
NEW ANGLE Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage. But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…
Go figure, huh?
NEW: Emil Bove has advanced past the Senate Judiciary Committee over objections from democrats who didn’t get a chance to speak or debate on the issue. Dems walked out of the hearing in protest, but Bove advances to a full senate vote.
I think people aren't describing the Emil Bove corruption adequately. He blew off an order from a judge SO THAT he could send hundreds of mostly innocent men to a concentration camp, based on false claims of gang ties.
Quick question. There are still almost as many troops in LA right now as there were at the end of Afghanistan. Why exactly? Also where are the mass deportations of white illegals, like from Russia?
The more they tell us to stop talking about Epstein the more we need to talk about Epstein
Phang: Bloomberg is reporting that AG Bondi fired her personal ethics adviser on Friday. A career DOJ attorney, spent nearly 20 years at the DOJ. What harm is there in having an ethics guru? If you’re not doing anything wrong, you shouldn’t have a problem with that man being there.
Rig count has fallen for 11 consecutive weeks. ⛽️
ZERO Redeeming Qualities
The Queen knew it wasn’t a hoax. www.cnbc.com/2022/01/13/q...
Zero authority. Zip. Zilch.
Oh, there are Epstein files alright , and they admitted it. “…the Attorney General was later informed of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein that were not previously disclosed.” www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attor...
The more he insists we drop it, the more we insist it all gets exposed.
Our government shouldn't be able to consign people to conditions in a foreign country that would be constitutional violations, and criminal too, here.
Keep talking about Epstein!!!!
“These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you have seen don't do it justice. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage.”
Trump never acts like an innocent person. He never tries to defend himself. He lashes out like a trapped rat.
They will try to tell you, “Resistance is futile.” It is never so.
Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence
Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/
BREAKING: Metadata shows the FBI’s ‘raw’ Jeffrey Epstein prison video was likely modified. 🧵
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
Noem is the poster child of political stunts.
This is scandalous. The El Paso SPC is one of the few ICE detention centers owned by ICE itself. Members of Congress cannot legally be turned away from ICE facilities when conducting oversight. Yet these emails say Noem herself is deciding when and how Members can conduct oversight.
UTAH… this is not a game…
WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.
The UFW can confirm farm workers were critically injured yesterday during chaotic raids in Ventura County, CA. Other workers, including US citizens, remain unaccounted for. UFW staff is on the ground supporting impacted families. Our full statement below. ⬇️ 1/
Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
📌Epstein was a monster who preyed on little girls. Trump's a convicted felon, who sexually abused women and "would walk right in on" naked Teen Miss USA contestants in their dressing room. 📌They are both perverts. They were close friends. This is a HUGE story. 📌Don't let them cover it up.
Cancer researchers, air traffic controllers, food safety inspectors and other experts are committed public servants who serve the people, not the president. Trump and DOGE sacked them by the thousands and now we're seeing the consequences.
