Thank you on this labor day!!
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
The Hague is gonna love this👇
Last week, ICE arrested a six-year-old Queens public school student at her family's scheduled check-in. This morning, she was deported along with her mother. One of her siblings remains in detention. The cruelty of this federal administration knows no bounds.
McFelon Says No Mail-In Ballots #voting #mailinballots Putin advised him to get rid of paper ballots.
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
Moore: We were able to see historic drops in violent crime, and never once did I activate the National Guard to do municipal policing. This is not about performance — this is performative. They are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this military fetish
It’s real simple, y’all. Here is the BOP regulation stating that inmates with OUT CUSTODY can work outside the facility, followed by a screenshot of Maxwell’s custody status (OUT) from my reporting, which you can read with no paywall here : open.substack.com/pub/muellers...
My reporting has come to the attention of Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney. Here’s the response I provided to the @thedailybeast.bsky.social
California Democrats are now actively redrawing maps to eliminate five Republican-held seats. Can God get an amen?
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
This is concerning during Trump’s press conference, he portrayed Washington as a testing ground, a place to prove MAGA can manage and “revitalize” cities better than Democrats, with the goal of making it a model for other Democratic-led cities across the USA. A model for what exactly, martial law?
Indeed she has.
Simple. Powerful. Focused. We need more of this.
DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.
Large #ICEprotest, with little to no media coverage, in LA yesterday
"Let me be crystal clear: crime in DC is ending and ending today."
Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military. Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is 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.
I remember when this happened.
I’m going to suggest that a $50k signing bonus for new ICE agents is intended to buy off any scruples the new hire might have about acting inhumanely and unconstitutionally.
Reminder that as a corporate lobbyist, Pam Bondi represented scores of clients facing federal regulatory scrutiny — including Amazon, Uber, and GM. She also represented the government of Qatar and ICE contractor GEO Group. "Conflicts of interest" is an understatement.
Providing an alternative to establishment politics and an increasingly right-leaning party made all the difference for Mamdani, politics editor @leximcmenamin.com argues in this op-ed. Read the full story here ⤵️
HAPPENING NOW: A protester interrupts Jeanine Pirro’s confirmation hearing: “We don’t want the shame and scandal that Pirro has brought Westchester County. Reject her. She’s unqualified. Disqualified. Scandalous. Questionable accountability. And a liar.”
Russia’s economy is imploding—and the silence on its banking system is deafening. Russian banks are teetering, bailouts are rumoured, and the Kremlin is quietly crafting laws to lock down the internet and the narrative. Stand back, it's about to blow. youtu.be/-nthKWQCSrI
Gotta love this billboard in NYC
Is it just me... but with each passing day, my disdain for anyone that voted for him grows exponentially. I didnt think I could hate them anymore especially after they tried to kill me and my coworkers on Jan 6th, man was I wrong.
Omg the shit gibbon is going to lose his mind when he sees the new South Park.
BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed. Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.
"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."
God bless South Park!
The Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, is meeting with a notorious sex trafficker today. Not to ensure that she pays for her many crimes, but to ensure that she lies to protect Donald Trump from his own. Law and order, y’all!
DeSantis is heckled at an event today
Well yeah. Now that they have convicted sex trafficker Maxwell ready to say what they want her to say - it’s suddenly not a hoax anymore. 🙄
You’d think he’d like this since they made him look so slim.
Yes … what have we become?
We are in the richest country in the history of the world. There is plenty of money to go around, and it should belong to the people who do the work every day! America’s unions will keep organizing to make sure working people have the freedom, fairness and security they deserve.
Another pic from yesterday’s ride through #Shoshone territory. That peak on the horizon to the right is Heart Mountain…the site of a Japanese internment camp during World War II… Today’s GOP has not learned much since then apparently. #motosky #photography
Bless these people!
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
The entire GOP is circling their wagons around this guy, by the way.
Oh wow hey @tulsigabbard did u see this?
Epstein actually attended Donald Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples. And this is the proof. Trump has blasted it as “fake news” www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-r...
Imagine I’d said Satan was a “really terrific guy,” backed it up with photos of us together in the 90s, and then blamed Obama
The biggest threat to Ghislaine Maxwell right now is any staircase.
Krasnov is now accusing Obama of leading a coup, claiming he is guilty of treason. Not a single shred of evidence was proffered or exists. “DON'T 🗣️ ABOUT EPSTEIN! ARREST ALL OF MY POLITICAL OPPONENTS! I'M NOT GUILTY OF ANYTHING EVER! OBAMA!” The Epstein files must be REALLY BAD for agent Krasnov.
Wednesday is with us again, so grab your family and friends and drag them out to buy a book! - Michael
Tulsi Gabbard is using a White House press briefing to accuse Hillary Clinton of using tranquilizers. Dystopian stuff.
Question. Will her art be put up at her namesake then. I have some pics I can send you.
If true, this explains all of Trump’s recent frantic behavior. It explains his refusal to release the Epstein Files. It explains his delusional efforts to fabricate a justification to prosecute Obama. It’s more than just an attempt to distract. It’s a full blown cover up. www.wsj.com/politics/jus...
Knowing she was going to get booed and heckled now at this CPAC conference on human trafficking that she agreed to speak at before the Epstein fiasco, Pam Bondi makes an excuse to back out.
Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.
Joey did a 180 so hard the Lolita Express had to re-calculate its flight path.
Heading into NYC for a live shot, and this is the sign on one of the overpasses
If it weren’t for Julie K. Brown, he’d probably still be raping children. She kept the case alive.
One of the saddest parts of the Epstein scandal is, if a lot of those docs are from before 2019, so many people knew he was raping children and did nothing about it.
This needs to stay in the news every day until they come back in September if you keep it in the news will help you keep it in the news
To be clear, this now a massive cover up involving the President, the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the GOP Congress.
Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.

May we one day have a real president again.
NEW: I had a busy weekend: I spoke to an FBI Analyst that reviewed the Epstein files, I spoke to a DOJ analyst who was fired because of her husband’s ICEBlock app, and I’m suing the DoJ for the Epstein transcripts. News with swearing. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Hate is powerful. In fact it’s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they don’t like.
Trump went judge shopping in Florida with his ridiculous lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, hoping to get Aileen Cannon, and instead it landed with a gay Obama appointee. I can’t stop laughing. 🤣🤣🤣
📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day. Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.
If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes. I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like - where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime.
#PBS #NPR here’s some good you can do, if you currently subscribe to the Paramount+ streaming service: cancel it, and take that $60/year and donate it to your local PBS station. Big Bird needs that cash more than the C-suite shitheads at CBS.
This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.
Hakeem Jeffries has reportedly told allies that if Zohran Mamdani wins, he can't become Speaker of the House. Leaders like Jeffries see this fight as existential for their control of the party: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/party-cont...
This is a wicked easy one!
I don’t know about you, but I'm done pretending this is normal. What is happening is not okay and it never was. I understand if you’ve been feeling more sad or worried lately. I know I have.
Big Oil ally Lee Zeldin just gutted the EPA's research arm, which informs the agency's life-saving work to regulate toxic chemicals and pollution. It's the latest example of how Trump's deregulation spree benefits his corporate donors at our expense.
Tulsi referred Russiagate to DOJ? Oh, that’s a shame. Even if there was a crime (there wasn’t) SCOTUS ruled that POTUS can’t be prosecuted for official acts. Whoops.
Isn't... isn't the FBI part of the DoJ?
A new report by Human Rights Watch and partner nonprofits released today confirms that migrants at the downtown Miami ICE facility were indeed shackled with hands tied behind their backs, forced to kneel, and made to eat from styrofoam plates “like dogs.”
Speaker Mike Johnson is protecting Jeffrey Epstein and his clients? Hmmm. . . this might be a good time to remind everyone that Mike Johnson met his "adopted" (never really adopted) son (who never appears in family photos) at a youth camp. And was the dean of a law school named after a pedophile.
Who else thinks we should ban members of Congress from trading stocks?
That’s right, fuckface.
Reporter: Why doesn’t the President just order the FBI to release the full Epstein files? Leavitt: The President has said if the DOJ/FBI want to move forward with releasing any credible evidence, they should do so. As to why they have not—you should ask the FBI
No wonder they are desperately trying to distract us
A cat that lived on the front line with #Ukrainian Warriors gave birth to kittens the day after the death of Defender Vadym Barlanytskyi.The brothers-in-arms gave one of the kittens the call sign of the fallen Defender -"Vado"-&took it to Vadym's son,Mykyta. Mykyta waited 9 months for the kitten

ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
She used to call and harass the archivists and editors I worked with. It was a running joke. Everyone hated her.
