No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion
How is this not child trafficking? These children are unaccompanied and being sent to unknown countries.
If you're fighting for the next unstable 20something mass shooter to have easy access to AR-15s, bc "personal freedom" means more to you than the bodies of dead American children, then maybe the problem is *your* mental illness.
The Covid vaccine saved over 3 million lives in the U.S. alone. Our tax dollars heavily funded its development and distribution. The cost barrier is concerning, but now we have a list of spurious conditions further barring access. It should be free to anyone who wants it! apnews.com/article/vacc...
$200 or more. I know it's $300 where I live.
"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...
The authoritarian police state has arrived in America. It's hard to believe that people whose parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents fought and died to prevent this from happening have willingly voted it in.
It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.
www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n... Whistleblower says that a former senior DOGE official now at Social Security Administration copied Social Security numbers, names and birthdays of over 300 million Americans to a private server. Server is lacking adequate security, potentially putting information at risk
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
And again for those in the back: The vast majority of health insurance fraud is committed by providers. Not recipients.
Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.
“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.
I wrote up my thoughts on the #zcavengerhunt along with the mayors whose namesakes we chased after
And I can mute it when a song is played, sometimes in its entirety, that I absolutely loathe.
🔥 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’.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
The only thing we can ‘do’ to stop this is mass, sustained protests. I’m talking protests that are big enough to impact the economy. Folks who aren’t on political social media don’t think it’s bad enough for that yet, though, and I honestly question whether we have the attention span for it at all.
I guarantee you that none of the men who paid for sex with the girls Maxwell and Epstein trafficked were roofers looking for work at a Home Depot
Revealed: Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war
What can we do to get ready to go into midterms? Make sure we have a candidate on every ballot in every race in every district in every state… No seat uncontested.
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 🙃
🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”
When the moment comes, you will be tested. We are now in that moment. Stand against Fascism.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
I'm sure he put up with this all his life, but it's Terence Stamp. Not Terrence. RIP 🖤
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.
Found the welfare queen! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/t...
it’s become clear that state level gerrymandering bans were just unilateral disarmament and the only real solution is a federal gerrymandering ban… And the only way to get that is Dems pushing for maximal gerrymandering until we get a trifecta to pass the law and pack the courts to enforce it
JUDGE: “Treating attendance in immigration court as a game of detention roulette is not consistent with the constitutional guarantee of due process.” www.rawstory.com/judge-267388...
And WE are paying for it...
"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."
To be clear Costco never sold mifepristone, so yeah their reasoning of "no demand" is accurate because they have never sold it so no one is going there for it. There is no story here nor a victory, misinformation is born like this
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Federal investigators reported at least 1,000 victims. Let no one forget: she didn't just recruit, traffick and facilitate the rape of children, SHE PARTICIPATED in the actual rapes.
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there
If we get to walk back from the brink, there must be a rigorous reckoning among people of good will about how mainstream institutions tolerated, accepted, peddled, and even celebrated the lies and mythologies of the far right.
Exactly. I also wonder how DC Metro Police feel about this.
DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.
Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.
He's always been tacky, but this is even worse somehow... www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/c...
He's a scumbag, just like so many in this administration: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
Nepotism through jobs, appointments, contracts and deals. The entire extended family is profiting from the presidency.
Also, foreign (and domestic) leaders, dignitaries, lobbyists, etc. gain access and influence by staying at Trump properties. Trump also personally profits from such stays.
We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.
weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him
Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
kennedy is going to kill a lot of people
Oversight Chair James Comer subpoenaed a long list in the Epstein probe Clintons, FBI, AGs—but left out Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted trafficker at the center of it all. That’s not justice—it’s a political stunt. You don’t skip the trafficker unless this isn’t about justice.
That we even have faux space wars is proof enough that we need to tax billionaires out of existence.
Does anyone really think we will ever see the full and complete unredacted files? I don't. *Obviously, victim names should be redacted.
DHS says Jose’s a dangerous criminal. So where’s the warrant? ICE tried to snatch him outside his home. No warning, no paperwork. Jose barely made it inside before they started kicking his door. DHS says he’s got a violent record. But local court records say those charges were dismissed. 🧵
All this human pain and suffering so we can keep giving the wealthiest among us MORE of everything.
Why do powerful, connected people avoid real justice? Bolsonaro caused thousands of deaths and tried a coup but only got house arrest. Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of child trafficking, is in a prison that’s basically a luxury compound. Time to end the impunity for the powerful and connected.
Wonder how sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh and sexual predator Clarence Thomas will vote on the fate of sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell.
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.
And again for the people in the back: Maxwell didn't just recruit, groom and organize sex trafficking, she also PARTICIPATED in the raping of children.
It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
“The administration’s actions have amounted to asking migrants “to atone for their race, leave because of their names and purify their blood,” Judge Trina L. Thompson of the Northern District of California wrote. “The court disagrees.””
Virginia Giuffre's sister-in-law notes that the FBI already has any information Ghislaine could give up, bc the victims already risked it all to share it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqUE...
Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President should not be allowed to trade stocks. Ban insider trading now.
‘1984’ is upon us
Fact: The President of the United States has a worse criminal record than 99% of the people he is deporting.
Motherfucking wind farms…
I remember when this happened.

NBC News' @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports on ICE raids taking place in Manhattan where federal agents arrest people they say are in the country illegally, but are at the facility to attend mandatory immigration court hearings. WATCH his report here: www.instagram.com/reel/DMtKowc...
Thread because I have steam coming out of my ears. His Magasty says the reason for their feud was Epstein "stole" underage victim Virginia Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago spa. "Stole" like she was property. And why did they hire an UNDERAGE MASSEUSE in the first place? But if that's not bad enough...
Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a six‑week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17‑year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesn’t make you furious, you’re not awake.
Shane Tamura, the 27yo alleged gunman in the #Manhattan mass shooting event had documented mental health issues AND a concealed firearms permit. There are major flaws in the US mental healthcare system AND its gun licensing system. And nothing will change while the NRA owns Congress. #USPolitics
A map of countries that recognise the State of Palestine. You can now add France… but apparently not the UK, Germany, Canada of Australia. Shameful.
This is the assault rifle the Manhattan shooter used, blood still on it. Modified with a scope, flashlight, and tactical sling. As @blueskyfanatic.bsky.social pointed out, the same assault rifle that congressional Republicans have pinned on them every day, like a badge of honor.
SHE. ACTIVELY. PARTICIPATED. IN. THE. RAPES. OF. MINORS.
Starmer is thinking what we are thinking and what most of the world is thinking.
How odd that Trump is unbothered by Taylor Swift, George Clooney, Eminem, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bruce Springsteen all endorsing Harris. If only we could figure out what that one thing is about Beyonce, Oprah and Sharpton that gets Trump's diapers twisted...
Just learned from LinkedIn that a Heritage Foundation affiliate is now FOIA-ing (or equivalent) instructors’ syllabi to go snooping for supposed illegal DEI at state universities. It’s hard to describe how far past McCarthyism we’re headed here.
You don't want to know how many letters I wrote protesting Perfect Attendance awards. How many families did that kid make sick to get "earn" an award that is based on pure luck, anyway?!
Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?
Janey Godley, brave Scottish comedian, actor, writer, and activist, lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 2024. Known for her fearless honesty, sharp wit, and powerful voice for the marginalized, she turned pain into purpose and laughter into strength. She is deeply missed by all. RIP
It bothers me that she is presented as a groomer or sex trafficker only. She was also an active participant in the rapes. Of children. 😠
The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than its median employee in 2024. And we're supposed to believe that the company can't afford to bargain a fair contract for its unionized workers?
"The corruption that we're seeing from this administration right now is unprecedented. We're talking about the president and his family making hundreds of millions of dollars." - @levin.house.gov
