Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
“To be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing.” - Anouska De Georgiou
Massie: I'm calling on my colleagues: be one of the next two who sponsors this discharge petition. I think it's shameful that this has been called a hoax. Hopefully today we can clear that up. This is not a hoax. This is real. There are real survivors.
No wonder Trump is so intent on keeping the files from being released.👀
De Georgiou: And to be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades.
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.
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
‼️‼️
WAKE UP! The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. They deserve to be heard. Today at 10:30 AM EST / 7:30 AM PST, they’re speaking live at a press conference. The system tried to bury the truth, but these voices are rising anyway. Watch. Share. Don’t look away. (Link in 🧵)

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Good morning dear friends, have a magical Monday a lazy Labor Day off!
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

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.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
You're surely not alone. A majority of the country feel the same as you do. Vent away, anytime.
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
Tough week for those of us who believe in democracy & the rule of law. But don’t lose faith. Keep up the resistance. It’ll get worse, but we’ll prevail. My weekend Substack. All those heroes out there. Check it out.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...
A lawsuit in the making. WOW, what a FASCIST COUNTRY we've become.
🚨And now - an arrest for videoing police. Pretty sure this was a violation of rights when we had them. We owe these people their voices as much as the oppressors must be exposed.

Using your post as an example, why, indeed would anyone take the word of someone convicted of 34 FELONY COUNTS in NY? This ORANGE FELON sits in the WHITE HOUSE. Same should apply, don't you agree?
Continuing from the last post, let’s be blunt. None of it makes sense. No one should be taking the word of someone convicted of sex trafficking minors. She’s lounging in a “vacation prison” after everything she did.
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
🚨 Concert in D.C. After the longest 6 month-long week we’ve had; it is nice to see this is still happening.
The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
