So, the Epstein victims are holding a press conference this week and Iโll bet it gets barely a peep in the MSM. There will probably be some vapid exclusive interview with Melanoma about how paving the Rose Garden and turning it into the back patio at Mar a lago is actually a tribute to Jackie.

A lead CDC official who resigned said Kennedyโs team asked him to โchange studies that have been settled in the pastโ to fit anti-vax views. Thatโs not public health leadershipโitโs malpractice. ๐ www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #SciSky #NurseSky

In approximately 60 days, several major elections are going to take place across the country. I think SOMEONE at the DNC should be responsible for INFORMING all of the Dems in America how we can help our team members win. SOMEONE should be sending out links to sign up for letter writing, call &

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control theyโve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But weโre denying Venezuelanโs asylum claims who fled for their lives. ๐ค

Hey Sen. James Lankford, stop your Orwellian doublespeak. We're not "jumping to conclusions" โ RFKjr is a dark tetrad. He knows nothing about human healthcare. He's systematically trying to cull the American public. Remove him from office. Immediately.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a โfinancierโ? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. Iโve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
Yesterday we went grocery shopping and although the US berries were cheaper, we bought all Canadian grown at a higher price. We did get our moneyโs worth as the Canadian berries were beautiful. Sorry not sorry. ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ

He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.

Oh you think it's funny huh that Giuliani took the dare to drink the little tub of sterno under the chafing dish full of prime rib at the buffet and now he's in intensive care, real big of you.

Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTEโฆ Itโs not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trumpโs federal invasion. Iโm not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetโs greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground?

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.
