Retired guy. I used to do things and used to know a bit about politics and healthcare. Apparently what I thought I knew was not true.

Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government. We will follow every thread until there is justice.
š§µThe "Climate Working Group" at Departnent of Energy was Steve Koonin, Judith Curry, John Christy, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer. They are climate contrarians, akin to the antivax scientists RFK Jr put into study the vaccine-autism link. 1/ www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...
oh this is straightforward white nationalist agitprop
No one who gets fired by Trump is replaced with any one more fit for the job. RFK Jr should be fired but we canāt expect things to get better until Trump is gone.
RFK Jr. has long been a proven liar. Thatās how he got this job.
Weāre back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
Letās make sure the Epstein victims get the attention they deserve. REPOST all the Epstein/Trump content you see and make it trend! #Epstein #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Trump-Epstein mdavis19881.substack.com/p/epstein-xi...
If he mesmerized means watching a car wreck in slow motion heās right.
Iām astounded that Trump and his minions can always find a new low.

Happy Birthday!
A Dr with tears in his eyes told me it was the most prostate prostate heād ever seen.
Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built Americaās middle class.
Completely agree!
Just booked a Covid vaccine in California, clicked my heels together three times and said "there's no quack like RFK Jr."
Generations of workers in America bled and died to win dignity on the job. They stood together against those who refused to recognize their humanity. On Labor Day, as fascism rises again, we honor those who came before us and carry forward their spirit of solidarity & defiance. Fight like hell. ā
While Trumpās Customs and Border Patrol was busy arresting people who showed up for their immigration appointments, RADIOACTIVE shrimp were passing through the border undetected and into our grocery stores. If that amount of radioactive shrimp can get through, a dirty bomb can. #GOPIncompetence

31 August 1942 | A transport of 1,000 Jews deported from #Drancy in German-occupied France arrived at #Auschwitz. After the arrival selection, 676 of them were murdered in gas chambers. One of them was 3 y/o Jacques Zajderman.
31 August 1876 | Dutch Jew, Abraham de Jong, was born in Amsterdam. A diamond polisher. He was deported to #Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 31 July 1943. He was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
This is why Trump fears Marc Elias. Marc stands up to him, he fights him, he wins.
šØBREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
My Senator wonāt let this go!
I believe at least one person did access the evidence held electronically. It will drop the moment it will hurt Trump the worst.

āā¦I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.ā My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadnāt happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

Hello, everyone. Today, thanks to @sbg1.bsky.social and @newyorker.com, I learned a new word. The word is: "butt-snorkeler."
The only person who prays harder for His Magasty King Pumpkin Tit's coronary than I do... is JD Vance. But I got news for you, JD: you will never command the cult. Even Congress reserves its gentle ass licking for your boss. It's the only fascist ass they enjoy the taste of.
All Donald has is lies, projection and threats. West Coast friends, stay strong! And remember to cash your violent protest checks!
Hmmmm....... I always thought my new Governor, Bob Ferguson was a pretty mild-mannered guy. I just saw him interviewd by Ari Melber about Homan's ICE and trump's dictator bullshit. Boy, was I wrong......Bob is PISSED!! (good for him.....and us in Washington Stateš)

Holy shit!
As if this administration could be any more disrespectful to our military.
Hey, at least it's not their money. It's only our money. No politicians lost any money on this stunt.

Nothing is more comical than the Republican talking point that Trump is in the Epstein Files because he āturned him in.ā There are more pictures of Trump partying with Epstein than of my grandparents Collins is a clown. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaig...
They are dismantling public healthcare.

I said,
Misguided? That position is fucking criminal. We should be sharing every ruble of that $300B with the people of Ukraine.
I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarezās willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.ās personal mission to destroy public health in AmericaāIām glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.
The Toronto Blue Jays held a moment of silence prior to the start of tonightās baseball game vs the Minnesota Twins. Canada is a good friend. šØš¦
one that annoys me is that what these people think is cutting edge new political thinking is just warmed over slaveholder ideology
When Trump says things like āPlease join me in prayingā¦ā I want to puke. The guy is so full of shit. He doesnāt pray. He only cares if folks pray over and for him. He is the least spiritual person youāll ever know. Couldnāt say the Lords Prayer. WTFU America
Oh! Most definitely! Our European āalliesā, have every reason to fear the current American regime at this point! Heās not just a traitor to usā¦
!!!!
As much as it pains me to say it, especially as a veteranā¦Donald Trump has made the United States a threat to Europe. A very real threat.
Here's Trump 10 years ago dodging a question about Epstein. Two interesting things: 1) It's clear he knew exactly what Epstein & Maxwell were doingāyears before he wished her well and moved her to a cushy prison 2) It's shocking just how much cognitive decline he's had since
Yes. Fascism. And yes, dictator.
Of all the many pressing National and International issues and responsibilities of the Presidency, convicted felon, pedophile, and leader of the Republican Party is weighing in on the Cracker Barrel logo redesign.
Been writing a lot about the collection of Kansans' personal data from a food nutrition program lately. Now a Kansas leader shares the details of the program and why sharing the data won't help fight fraud and abuse, as political attacks contend it will.

The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Epstein estate for documents and communications ā including the birthday book Ghislaine Maxwell compiled. The Committee will meet with Alex Acosta, the ex-Trump Labor Secretary who orchestrated Epstein's 2008 plea deal, for a transcribed interview.
Finally! Acosta!
What a vindictive little man.
Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984. The question isnāt will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.

Interesting that this happens to be one of the few historical events that Donald Trump seems to actually know something about.
It was only a matter of time before Charles Kushner disgraced his role as US ambassador to France, accusing Macron of not combating antisemitism. The foreign ministry summoned him for violating international law by interfering in another countryās internal affairs.
You are & youāre not my #president. Youāre a #pedophile WE DO NOT FORGIVE OR FORGET PEDOPHILIA. THIS IS ONE OF YOUR CRIMINAL ACTS THAT WILL HOUND YOU. HOW MANY? HOW MANY LITTLE GIRLS LIVES DID YOU FUCK UP BY FUCKING THEM WHEN THEY WERE TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND FUCKING? ANSWER ME DIRTBAG.

Holy spitballs! Itās on.
It's Sunday so let's give a shout out to Trump & the GOP who are doing the Lord's work by taking food away from the hungry and healthcare from the sick, to give rich people bigger tax cuts. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
In addition to creating a joyous event, Zohran Mamdani just showed the stupidity of Fox News's "Crime is so bad in New York City, people are afraid to go out in the street or take the subway!!!"
A posthumous memoir by prominent Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre is set for release on Oct. 21.
Itās spreading.
Lavrovās response 3 times is to insist that Russia has ānever, ever targeted civilian sites.ā So the apartment buildings and hospitals we see in flames every day and bodies of civilians is all made up apparently. This is who they are - liars and barbarians.
Andrew Cuomo disparaging "woke" issues means that he has totally given over to the dark side. Screw him.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!! āGTC
I'LL GET RIGHT ON THIS MISSION AFTER I AM FINISH WAVING MY AMERICAN FLAG IN FRONT OF CRACKER BARREL AND YELLING "SHAME"
I talked to 7 million + people last month. Believe me I can block every one of you anti-Democrat sons a bitches and not lose a single percentage point, and I am going to. Step up.
šØ The Trump admin is stonewalling Congress on the Epstein files They admit to holding 60k documents but dumped just 34k, 97% of which were already public and the rest recycled flight records. This looks like a blatant cover-up to protect powerful friends. How long will Trump keep hiding the truth?
Anyone remember Signalgate? Hegseth needs to resign.
F*ckā¼ļø Fort Bliss Army base used for a WWII Japanese internment is now the nation's largest ICE detention center.

Oh Trump is high, alright, on swollen ankle meds.
Trumpās DOJ raid on Bolton reeks of dictatorship. Vance spins it as justice, but targeting critics while shielding loyalists is retribution in plain sight. This is authoritarian muscle, not law and order.
James Dobson was never a āChristian leader.ā He was a well-paid hate merchant in a bad suit. He sold cruelty as righteousness, fear as faith, and violence as love. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/james-dobs...

Awesome! Loved reading your write up of the event.

Oh man. Embarrassing for Dean Cain. ICE posting his training session like itās some kind of āMan of Steelā flex. Although it tracks with the incompetent, undertrained ICE agents weāre seeing on the streets.
#Canada visitors know better than to take trips to the US now. I'm a US citizen living in Canada, and I sure won't take the chance of driving across the border--which we used to do regularly-- until Trump's long gone.

23 August 1942 | A transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy arrived at Auschwitz. SS doctors selected 892 of them to be murdered in gas chambers. Among them was Majta Rubin. She was a Polish Jewish woman who had emigrated to France. She was killed together with her daughters: Bella & Micheline.
