9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
I don't think there's enough whiskey to get me through the next 3 years. This administration is so fucking stupid.
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
When he uses the term “a lot of people are saying,” that discussion took place inside his head.
For the life of me, I never understood the outrage.
Anytime he uses “sir,” he’s lying.
Believe the victims
You are my people.
NEW: The California Supreme Court denied Republicans' effort to block Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new redistricting plan, clearing the way for Democratic lawmakers to approve a new congressional map that could counter Texas’ gerrymander.
There was never much traffic on the High Road.
If you don’t think Trump is compromised, ask yourself how Ghislaine Maxwell got a meeting with Todd Blanche and how Putin got a summit on American soil.
Exactly
Russia, if you’re listening, release the Epstein files.
DC folks, at 800 pm, go outside with some pots and pans, a drum, a trumpet, whatever you got, and make some noise for 5 minutes. Everyone’s doing it.
Every couple needs the one who deletes every email and text immediately and one who saves them all since Al Gore was in office.
Maybe for solidarity we should just give Alaska back to Russia to show Ukraine how easy it can be to bow to the Russians. Sheesh.
california’s population is larger than at least a dozen red states *combined* so if we’re playing the “we deserve more representation” game give us our 500 senators
Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no. www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...
Note to Kristi Noem: It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.
Trump’s worst nightmare isn’t a prosecutor. It’s these women, armed with the truth.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
Granger: Here’s the opportunity: Democrats have reportedly been trying to manufacture their own Rogan… But that kind of voice isn’t made in a lab—it emerges organically when the message matches the moment. Right now, the MeidasTouch brothers are meeting that moment.
Ambassadorship has to be code for something else.
Isn't there a stripper pole somewhere calling out her name?
He gets an “ambassadorship” has to be code for something.
Winner winner!
Happy Montgomery Riverfront Brawl Day to those who celebrate!
I want whatever Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t want. She should NOT have one ounce of control over her life.
honestly thinking hard about the rational philanthropists out there who could easily step up and provide $500 million in funding to keep mRNA vaccine research on track

He could have stopped at “these people” and we’d know he is a racist. And anytime he says “sir” it’s a conversation that took place in his mind.
I do read lips and he is saying, “it’s gonna be beautiful.” We don’t need to manufacture crap.
And you think if Congress does something good on redistricting Trump’s gonna sign it. Think again.
Bless her heart. She tries so hard to be like the cool kids.
Ad for vacationing in Texas kinda hits differently today. Let’s NOT Texas.
BREAKING: I am suing the Department of Justice for the training videos instructing FBI personnel to flag mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein files. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/i-am-suing...
Is anyone asking him about the under oath allegations by “Katie Johnson” that he ra*ped her when she was 13? www.youtube.com/live/KZIsoai...
This morning, my moment of Zen will consist of rewatching last’s week’s episode of South Park. Because I need the comic relief; and a reminder that in this Age of Candy- Ass Quislings, there are still some folks with the guts to say fuq off. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...
She should never have power or control over her life again.
The Justice Department has the Epstein files. Right now. Everything they’re doing now is a distraction. Just RELEASE THEM.
We want NIH to cure cancer not be for profit.
This was so good. I hope @maddow.msnbc.com plays it on her show tomorrow night.
I don’t want the NIH to be fucking profitable, I want it to cure cancer and Alzheimer’s
Since Trump lies to the press, how about the press lie to Trump? “Pam Bondi just announced that you are mentioned many times throughout the Epstein files. Do you have any comment or response?”
And elbow water is a thing.
We have to stand in the shoes of the victims. This is a political coverup and NOT justice. Believe women. Believe girls.
So Comer hasn’t sent the subpoena to DoJ yet, and hasn’t committed to an expedited timeline - even though the DoJ will likely ignore this subpoena? Frankly, I’d be working on the birthday book subpoena with more urgency. You don’t have to deal with DoJ.
And with our money. Cool, cool.
We said release the files not the accomplices, idiot.

Oh no…that’s…terrible. www.rawstory.com/gabbard-bond...
As others are saying, the real question is “was anyone potentially in harm’s way by the information you shared?”
I don't care if Bill Clinton, Dolly Parton or Jesus Christ himself is implicated in the Epstein files. Anyone who committed such crimes should burn. I believe that because I'm not in a cult.
WATCH: “YOU HAVE NO SHAME!” Another angle of @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social being tackled to the ground after he went over time to shame TEXAS Republicans for using the flood to grab power, redistricting at Trump’s orders. We are told he is still in jail today. ( 🎥 from @kateyforchange.com )
As a person who covered Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal trial, and who has read through pretty much every single Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit, I find the current discourse to be in bizarro land.
Honest question, who gets the money?
Believe women. Or in this case, believe children.
And there it is.
Martin Luther King's daughter Bernice had this to say about donald releasing her father's files today...
Raise your hand if you give a sh!t about what Hunter Biden has to say? Timing is everything.
Believe women.

People pray for Trump but I suspect we ask for different things…
I... I just... I just need the good guys to fucking win one for a change.
This Stephen Colbert monologue from Monday night, followed by a bit about the MAGA contingent calling for Trump to release the Epstein files, is the reason why Paramount fired Colbert and canceled his show. That, and the Midterm elections are coming up, and he would continue to go after Trump.
Pure happiness…. 🐶🥰 ♥️🥹
Has she gotten anything right in the last year?

Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:
It doesn’t matter why he’s afraid of the Epstein files. What matters is he’s shown us it’s an open wound—our only job now is to shove a splintered, rotting 2x4 straight into it.
It doesn't matter why he's worried about the Epstein files. You don't need to know why. It only matters that he's shown us it is an open wound, and it is our job only to shove a rotten 2x4 into it.
Hey Jake Tapper, fodder for your next book!👇
If we would have just listened and believed the women. They have a list.
What did you do? That’s a face that says you did something.
Trump booed loudly as he takes the stage for the Club World Cup trophy presentation via @henrybushnell.bsky.social Turn the volume all the way up. The sound is so soothing.
Watch this to the end.
I…..
Let me take a wild guess and suggest no woman was part of that design team.
"I don’t care if Clinton is in the Epstein files. I don’t care if any Democrats are on the client list. I don’t care if any progressives are on the client list... You know why? Because I'm not in a cult." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/i-dont-car...
BREAKING: The footage from Jeffery Epstein’s cell that was released by the DOJ was edited with Adobe Premiere Pro, stitched from 2 clips, and was saved 4 times, per WIRED
credit where credit's due, this is a good move on @raskin.house.gov's part
Then we have to wait for the book. Sheesh.
I think Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissents are an important exception to the "Supreme Court dissents don't matter" rule of thumb, because she is using them not to argue with the conservative justices, but to explain to the public that the conservative justices are liars and in the tank for Trump
The daily routine
🚨BREAKING: Prince Andrew is now free to travel internationally after the FBI quietly shut down its investigation into his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. No charges. No accountability. Just a royal hall pass.
Don’t buy the polished crap from the White House. Texas flood deaths weren’t a surprise...they were the price of gutting services. Cut first responders...ignore warnings...and act shocked when people die? That’s not weather. That’s political manslaughter.
I believe the term is “paling around with pedophiles.”
I think the term is “paling around with pedophiles.”
MAGA’s eating its own...and it reeks of panic. Pam Bondi’s getting torched by the same mob that once kissed her ring. Why? Epstein. Accountability. Cracks in the shield. When the grift turns on itself...you know the walls are closing in...and the truth's getting dangerously close.
Bedroom eyes.
Doing great, Donald 👍
Ted came back from vacation in Greece to lecture us.
Trump never misses an opportunity to be racist and wrong, and every day he finds a new way to be embarrassing. Asking the President of Liberia where he learned English when it’s literally the official language is peak ignorance. (1/2)
Listen, all I’m saying is that we’ve seen more pictures of Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell than we have of Donald Trump playing with his children Barron & Tiffany.
Trump's MAGA base has erupted in outrage over the Justice Department and FBI's memo stating they found no evidence that notorious deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein kept a "client list," with many of the president's most loyal allies blasting the administration's leadership.
“No collusion” “I won the election” “She wasn’t my type” “I never slept with her” “It was a perfect phone call” “We didn’t commit any fraud” “I never paid her any hush money” “There are no classified records here” “There is no Epstein client list”
