Are you under the false impression that the press is an independent and unbiased news gathering industry???
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
How many of us have to die when the pro-life people are in charge???
Don't start what you can't finish.

Good to see some of the elders in the fight.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
More name changes afoot… Department of Defense = Department of War Department of Education = Department of Keeping You Stupid Center for Disease Control = Center for Crackpot Conspiracies Department of Agriculture = Department of Subsidies for Farmers going broke from tariffs
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Why? Because they’re too busy not covering the scandal of the century… #EpsteinFiles

He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
A white convicted felon and his white immigrant wife are attempting to deceive America, pushing the false narrative that the nation’s problems rest solely on the shoulders of Black and Brown communities and dark-skinned immigrants………Let that sink in.

And I am the world's foremost astrophysicist ballerina who invented the piano, aspirin, and appetizers.
Wow, it’s so weird how no one talks about this anymore. It’s almost as if inflation wasn’t THE issue, it was just useful…aw but that couldn’t be, in this nation of liberal media and bias!
We’ve been lied to our whole lives. The maps we grew up with shrink Africa down, making it look so much smaller than it really is. The truth: Africa is massive. You can fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside it—and still have room left over.
We all know the answer to this. Prositutes you pay to leave. Gold diggers you pay to keep around. It's why Melania keeps renegotiating her prenup.
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
“You cannot argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience” -Mark Twain This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
What is it called when government owns the means of production again?
If we got big $ out of politics then elected officials would actually have to listen to we, the people!!
The DOJ cut Epstein’s jail video into pieces to remove what they didn’t want us to see. They did the same with the Maxwell/Blanche transcript. This isn’t transparency — it’s a cover-up.
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.
I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers. I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Garland's objective of depoliticising DOJ by inexplicably waiting 18+ months before moving to prosecute the psychopathic moron cult leader isn't going too well.
From the Guardian…
Did they store them in the same place as his tax returns??

The only thing the Ghislaine tapes prove is that sex offenders stick together
we’re gonna need a bigger chisel
While freedom dies, scream your rage into the faces of its killers.
"The president was never inappropriate with anyone." Pardon me if I don't consider Ghislaine Maxwell, someone who used to prowl Middle Schools looking for young girls to rape, an expert on what's appropriate behavior.
Trump’s residence was searched after MONTHS of being treated with kid gloves during which he defiantly refused to return hundreds of pages worth of highly classified documents he was storing insecurely.
Mamdani, a guy who holds no office and has zero scandals, has gotten more scrutiny than the guy tearing up the Constitution every day in the White House.
The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.
Last night's clownery
This is what's going on y'all. Do not be silent #Resist.
Past time
So Kilmar Abrego Garcia walks free from federal custody. Funny how the system manages to move quickly when it wants to, but grinds to a halt when it’s about justice. The bigger story will be when he turns around and sues the Feds for what they put him through.
How many times have we heard this?? DC should’ve had statehood YEARS ago!!! Why didn’t Dems in leadership steamroll that agenda like republicans are doing now???
It took a while, but this is now rapidly becoming the consensus
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on fascism in 🇺🇸 : “There is not safety in keeping your head down… People who oppose public policy decisions but are too afraid of retribution from their government to speak their mind should send a chill down all of our spines.”
🚨 ALL parallels to Nazi Germany are 100% true Hitler: 1-Seized the newspapers & controlled the media Our media abdicated & obeyed in advance 2-He consolidated all power in the Executive Branch-#GOPTraitors gave up theirs to Trump 3-He controlled the Courts Supreme Court gave Trump 100% immunity
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.
Trump is in the Epstein files.
Someone finally made the posters. Info in next post/
They don't care about poll numbers, they don't are about being transparently authoritarian, they don't seem to care about their party's fate in the midterm elections and they sure as hell don't care about the laws. People better start putting all these pieces together. The picture is clear.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
Night Sky on Mars #nasadailyupdates
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
For the Slavery Wasn't Bad crowd: Let's leave something extremely clear. SLAVERY was BAD, it was so bad that the darkest part of it, turned into folklore and horror stories, was so bad that books were written about it, it was so bad that the Art inspired for it continued being censored.
Charlie Kirk is destroyed by a young man who did his research. It’s a beautiful sight to behold.
America is cooked. Trump and MAGA have done generational damage in just 7 months. Their base will be the first to feel it. Just a stunning self-own, but...perhaps inevitable.
Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
"What radicalized you?" Nothing. I refuse to bow to the framing that my beliefs are "radical." Kids should be fed not bombed or shot Schools should be safe places. Reading is an unalloyed good. The world is amazing and should be cherished. Science and medicine is star stuff understanding itself.

his mission is to turn america into Stupid Russia and it’s working
NEW POLL: 79% of DC residents oppose Trump’s federal takeover of local police — and they don’t believe it will reduce violent crime. LA felt the same way, and every other city will too. If Trump & Republicans cared about safety, they wouldn’t have ripped $1B from DC. This is all performative.
I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
Who did this? 😅🤣😂🤣
There’s more inflation now than when he ran for office incessantly bitching about it.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
