NEW: Judge Sooknanan gets all 76 children trump tried to send to Guatemala back home, trump has been MIA for almost a week, the Epstein estate is going to hand over some actual Epstein files, and a discussion with @rweingarten.bsky.social about her new book. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
Difference between a husky and border collie... 👀😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky
Nope. I think they're hiding him because there's an obvious tell: He can't speak.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
In her own words.
Good to see some of the elders in the fight.
This is Parker, she was shot in the head in Los Angeles for protesting ICE kidnappings and ethnic cleansing. She recovered and is now back to protesting because in times of fascism nobody can afford to do nothing. “We need everybody” “I call for revolution, it starts here” #3E
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
I'm going on record. You don't cover up dead. He's not dead. However, he's sick as shit. That you can cover up for a bit. But just a bit. Mostly I hope he feels like absolute shit and is very scared of death. That I can work with.
Folks. Please read this. It’s just one page of simple declarations from a 10 year kid from Guatemala who doesn’t want to be sent back there. The US government is trying to do so, on a holiday weekend, and was going to just *do it* until folks started pushing back. 10. Years. Old. WTAFF?
I’m good with this as long as Las Vegas (a blue city) is with the blue states.
Nigel Farage says he hates Europe but all his children, which have European mothers, have EU passports not British ones. He is a disgraceful fraud everything he says is a lie. #FarageFraud #Hypocrisy #BrexitLies
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Thread BREAKING: A new 38 page proposal shows Trump & Netanyahu are openly planning to take over Gaza & turn it into a casino & tourism resort. Here are the horrid details, & yes all of this is a violation of international human rights law & further confirms Israel is committing genocide. 1/4

Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
My favorite Rudy Giuliani story is that my mother, who loathed the man, was moving from Queens to Long Island in 1997 but delayed her move until after the election so she could vote against Giuliani one last time. It's more a story about my mom, but I thought that was just wonderful.
They got palm trees in Virginia?
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.

Nobody actually saw Trump golfing today.
When the day comes that the Dictator in the WH is no longer on this earth, I will forever remember those who supported him, and/or failed to loudly oppose him. Accountability is a prerequisite to our societal healing and evolution.
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
He's such a good guy.
I don't think "bet it all on the midterms" is a better strategy now than "bet it all on 24" was in 21, but if we're doing it anyway, I'd like to see the authors of that strategy at least working right now on the question of "how do we protect and encourage minority voting if ICE is at the polls?"
He obviously knows where he’s going.

A mother is filing a $1 million claim after her 15-year-old son was held at gunpoint by immigration goons in Los Angeles.
Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
I love it when Gavin holds up the mirror
New work by @brendannyhan.bsky.social & @jasonreifler.bsky.social shows further evidence of positive impact of prebunking This is why EIP wrote What to Expect rumor guides for certain periods in elections! And it’s why election deniers reframe this as “brainwashing” www.science.org/content/arti...
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
Release the Epstein files!

Meanwhile, Joe Biden today looking healthy and happy.👇
RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So I wonder if he’d like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?
fortune.com/2025/08/30/r... Why do I feel like they shouldn’t complain. The consequences for the majority of them who voted for the monster was obvious to anyone who took a minute to think about their vote.
The name’s Newsom. Gavin Newsom.

Something is going on with health. They walked him to his car to prove he was still alive. But posting old golfing videos makes you think that they drove him around for a while but that he’s not healthy enough to actually golf. And where is his granddaughter that he’s supposed to be golfing with?
Just saying.
I don’t care that Trump went golfing today. Something strange is going on—his lack of interaction with the press is simply not normal. What is the White House hiding? 🤨
Perfect candidate for joining Cult45..
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...

I think it’s odd that his grandchildren are with him. Like when has he ever taken an interest in or taken his grandchildren along golfing???? It’s like they came to say their final goodbyes too. He looks like crap. Something is going on with his health.
Looks like he had some neurological event. Look how his mouth is gaping open.
Why isn’t RFK researching the effects of long term heroin use on cognitive function?
Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Now!!! #TrumpPedoFiles

So good
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.
The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
