Rep. Stansbury: “What we heard today is a cover-up. A cover-up potentially involving foreign countries and foreign actors. As you will find out in coming days and weeks, this goes all the way to the top. Because there’s happen to be a very powerful person who doesn’t want these stories out.”
"For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord." -- Psalm 10:3
The truth? Trump is once again tacoing because he is so weak youtu.be/y69NXtzTfV4?...
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
Why are federal agents covering their face? What are they hiding? Public servants should face the public! @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social has a mobile billboard driving around D.C. demanding that federal agents take their masks off. Check it out!
NOW: Big protest going on outside the White House. Protestors are demanding release of Epstein files and the end of the National Guard deployment in D.C. This is some visual. (📸 Status Coup News)
Trump isn't dead, he's just the same rambling, pathetic, lying, old man now with a big discoloration on his right palm that can't be hidden by makeup.
SPOTTED: Mobile billboards driving around D.C. demanding federal agents take their masks off — because public servants should face the public. Go follow @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social!
BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Every senator who voted to confirm this mental case knew exactly how dangerous he was and is.

This is not reporting. This is propaganda.
One true test of Trump’s mental fitness is whether he’ll be able to take reporters’ questions after his announcement in the Oval Office tomorrow. And for how long.
Reasonable point.
Veterans against Trump‼️ 💯 Absolutely Correct
Troops hanging out in the DC metro today, displaying assault rifles, doing absolutely nothing
Did Donald Trump have a stroke? The drooping of the eyes and mouth tells the story. I had a TIA (mild stroke) a few weeks ago and had the exact same symptoms. I also had blurred vision and a hard time concentrating. Not good for a President. Where is the press on this health crisis? #ProudBlue
JVL and Tim both blew up my hope for any change in 47’s health status today. 😞
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...
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Where's his hair? He looks like he's on death's door. He needs to address the media.
Heads up Chicago! While the National Guard is probably going to spend some time spreading mulch around federal buildings, there will be more armed kidnappers with badges than usual in town. These resources will be needed by someone.
Excellent point!
No makeup caked on.
It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite
NEW: Judge Sooknanan is back at it. She orders DOJ to file at fifth status report to address whether the two children discussed in its previous report have been returned to ORR custody. Status report due at 12 noon today.
I do not believe for one second he was helping a DV victim before he got into the car crash. I'm going to need proof of that, given his treatment of women in the past.
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
Normally they've booked 40% of their fall soybean sales to China at this point. This year, they are at 0% booked, and no, that's not a typo. www.farmprogress.com/soybean/us-s...
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
There are around 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the USA. Everything is carceral. You cannot interact with the government without interacting with police; this includes walking outside.
Thank you, Anna! I’m serving as a volunteer documenting masked supposed ICE agents kidnapping people from immigration hearings. The story of these children, already in dangerous and vulnerable situations being traumatized by our US gov’t is beyond sick.
Sooknanan: Every one of these 10 children who are named plaintiffs speak about being afraid of going back to Guatemala. She reads a series of quotes in which the children express being afraid of return because they experienced neglect or abuse from one or both of their parents.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Lori Chavez DeRemer: "Consumer confidence is up." (Consumer confidence is actually way down since Trump's second inauguration.)

Oh
BREAKING: Trump is "fine" and golfing amid health rumors, Trump says ending tariffs will be the downfall of America, Republicans are heckled across the country at town halls, extremists discuss using drones, and more. All the news you missed: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
I will be there and you should come too. We cannot let the Epstein story die.
We won’t notice it at first Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths All because of two men Trump and RFK, Jr
🤞
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.

COVID-19, Flu May Reawaken Dormant Cancer Cells jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... All the more reason why we need to keep up with our vaccines!
someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
Citizens United. Presidential immunity.
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...
A dramatic, extremely worrying moment; over 61,000 people held in ICE detention. That is the highest number ever on record in United States history; roughly 6,000 higher than the previous record set under Trump six years ago, and over 21,000 higher than when Trump took office just seven months ago.
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
🙌
The problem is Mike Johnson doesn’t have a human heart. They blame mental health yet they cut funding for mental health services. They don’t want their constitutional rights inconvenienced yet they ignore our kids’ inalienable rights to live w/o active shooter drills and Kevlar backpacks.
1. An 18-year-old boy was kidnapped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement outside LA just days before he was to begin his senior year in high school. He was walking his dog when they came for him. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Oh, goodie! Just like the Nuremberg Rallies.
They’re coming. But not to fight crime, as the president has been threatening. No, they are going to round up the day laborers, domestic workers and gardeners. #iceraidschicago
Good. I have questions and the American people deserve answers.
The suit argues: (1) Trump didn't have cause for firing Cook (as required by the Federal Reserve Act); (2) Cook didn't get notice & a hearing (as required by the Federal Reserve Act); & (3) Cook didn't get notice & a hearing (as required by the Due Process Clause).
It’s something that should be able to unite every house and senate democrat. We are getting decent one off responses but “get rid of the hhs head that is killing our kids” seems to be too much of a message ask
BREAKING: Federal Reserve Board Member fired by Trump, Lisa Cook, files suit against Trump & Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
They are in denial. When this Republican BS is over, we should hold politicians who refuse to take legal actions about school shootings as being just as guilty as the shooter. Same as law enforcement and lawyers.
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
Few doctors have wreaked as much medical havoc as Bill Cassidy, the senator who overcame his initial, well-founded concerns to pave the way for RFK’s HHS confirmation

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: “We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired."
Four more top #CDC officials have submitted their resignation in the past few hours - Debra Houry (chief medical officer), Demere Daskalakis (director of NCIRD), Daniel Jernigan (director of NCEZID) + Jen Layden (director of OPHDST) www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... It is horrifying
BREAKING: Trump fires his new Senate confirmed CDC director. 🎁 wapo.st/4n7Dkfm
The new CDC Director has been booted. Chaos is the new norm.
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.

@pkrugman.bsky.social explores Trump's authoritarian attempts at silencing those who oppose him. 1. The fraudster isn't fighting crime. 2. His attacks, while vindictive, have broader aims. "It’s about intimidation: If you get in our way we will ruin your life.” substack.com/@paulkrugman...
I’m so sorry! This is utter bs! I have been following Your Local Epidemiologist on Substack and that’s helped me keep updated. I know that’s no consolation now. 😞 I hate this place.
