This, all day every day.
Yesterday the president demanded that evidence about Covid vaccines be shown to the public. Today @apoorvanyt.bsky.social & I run through some of the studies made public over the past 4+ years that show that the vaccines work. Gift link: nyti.ms/46k17Tq
Guns are the number 1 cause of death in children and we don’t talk about it. The only logical conclusion is that GOP hates children and families. #FireRFK
In our current timeline, there are states where it’s easier to get a semiautomatic weapon than a COVID shot. That’s not public safety.
This Venezuelan strike is gonna put a damper on his Nobel Peace Prize campaign, but it won’t do a damn thing to stop the Epstein files.
In the State of Georgia, it is now easier to buy a gun than it is to get a COVID booster vaccine. Pretty crazy stuff.
Jeffrey Epstein survivors say they haven't had any contact with the DOJ
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.”
Australia was able to solve our gun death worries without sending in the Army. We just banned Assault weapons, limited magazines to no more than seven cartridges, introduced background checks etc. #USpol #USA #America
COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.
We now live in bizarrro world where gun control is bad but military occupation of U.S. cities as a solution to gun crime is good. Make it make sense.
California bill requires families to be alerted of immigration agents on school campuses
Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government. We will follow every thread until there is justice.
“The terror and cruelty are the point.” Illinois Gov. Pritzker says WH Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller chose a potential federal takeover in Chicago during the month of Mexican Independence Day.
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.
BREAKING: Nation in mourning after receiving proof that donald trump is alive.
Sen. Joni Ernst, Iowa's first female senator and former Trump VP contender, won't seek reelection in 2026. Her decision leaves Republicans scrambling to retain the seat, igniting a fierce battle in a swing state crucial to Senate power.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The solution to school shootings IS NOT arming teachers.
PSA‼️ David Geier, the anti-vaccine conspiracist who practiced medicine without a license, now has a CDC email: be65@CDC.gov (letters and numbers are typical format for cdc addresses) Feel free to send him your questions on his “gold-plated”, ahem sorry, “gold standard science” #SandInTheGeiers
Congress is back after their month long vacation.
Gun enthusiasts complain that "cars kill people, too". EXACTLY! That's why there's a driving test, licensing, registration, and insurance. They even have a unique VIN for identification. "Control" guns just like cars! You can still own them. Problem solved! ALL guns should be registered and insured!

A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
I hold my father’s beliefs of gun control. Private citizens should have access to breach loaded long guns and cylinder loaded hand guns and if it’s a weapon designed to harm people it should be too much paperwork to own.

Lovely!
Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
Boston is a union town.
Read every banned book you can get your hands on. Give them as gifts. Quote from them every day.
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Los Angeles, CA Music Festival 9/1/25
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, what’s the timeline for the book on how the President went missing like a week after he had weird bruising on his hands?
This Wednesday..... let the truth come out....
Happening Now — Washington DC: Pretty massive rally is forming at 14th and U NW.
They Tried to Sneak Out 600 Kids on a Holiday Weekend The government was loading Guatemalan minors, unaccompanied, some as young as 6-7.

Here’s where and when protests against President Donald Trump and billionaire-influence over politics are expected to take place on Monday, organized by the AFL-CIO and dozens of partner organizations.
Nine former directors of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joined forces to warn Health Secty Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “endangering every American’s health." RFK Jr MUST be charged with manslaughter. Dem State AGs must charge him for killing Americans.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
FACTS 1 - Mass Shooters Are Not Disproportionately Transgender. 2 - 100% Used Guns.
FACTS 1 - Mass Shooters Are Not Disproportionately Transgender. 2 - 100% of Mass Shooters Use Guns. IT’S THE F#CKING GUNS YOU IDIOTS. YOU LOVE GUNS MORE THAN CHILDREN! If all U.S.A. states had the gun laws & gun death rates of California 299,000 lives could be saved in the next decade.
Storm drainage, outdated water & sewage systems, poor reclamation, and suburban sprawl paving over natural water sheds. All of these are unsustainable practices. Taking a dip Labor Day weekend? Swimmers face fecal contamination at beaches along US coastline. apnews.com/article/beac...

turns out firearm proliferation does not in fact protect against tyranny
Just saw a clip on ABC news that showed a small Guatemalan child being led to a plane for deportation with her ankles shackled. This country has lost its soul.
Graham Platner, an oyster farmer from Maine, announced a bid for the seat of incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins. His goal? To “claw back wealth that was created by the labor and the consumption of working class Americans who have not shared in the riches they helped build.”
Congratulations and thank you for putting in the work! We took in bottle fed fosters once and it was definitely a full time gig
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Same after 14 years!
Millionaire who could easily buy a signed hat stealing one out of the hands of a small child is really a metaphor for the age
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down. Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. You step out of line, the man come and take you away. Books are being banned in Alberta, Canada. 😔
Imagine banning books over banning guns.
Fuck Florida
We are a proud people!
Jones: “This administration shows more outrage over a Cracker Barrel logo change than over the policies letting our kids be gunned down in school.”

The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
Why is our government deporting children? They are *children*. Are we going to say these are hardened criminals who threaten national security, ffs?
Fundamentalists are wrong. The most dangerous four-letter word in America is not gays; it’s guns.
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!
You won't see this on the news. In fact, you may not see this anywhere. Residents of Washington D.C. march up 14th Street on Saturday August 30, 2025 chanting "Troops Go Home".
We do billboards and we’re not moving on from the whole Epstein thing. Chip in and we’ll do more. maddogpac.com/products/qui...
Doesn't matter how many days we don't see him. He's still in the Epstein files.

That means he’s going to accelerate what he’s been doing for decades. The Senate ushered that in, knowing full well his history. I’ve written so much about him I’ve organized a section of my newsletter under “RFK Jr” Find them all here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🔗 news.immunologic.org/t/rfk-jr 🧵
mRNA vaccines are safe, have been in development for decades, & have far broader applications than older vaccine technologies. New vaccine technologies evolve when scientists have tools & knowledge to make something more elegant or complex that wasn’t possible before. 5/
RFK Jr doesn’t want to protect health. He wants to demonize science that could cure and prevent infectious diseases, cancers, and even autoimmune disorders. 4/
He’s wrong. As usual. EVERY vaccine was new technology at one point in history. EVERYTHING was once new. That isn’t a reason to reject something. OLD doesn’t mean better. Newer vaccines replace older ones if they are safer, more rigorously manufactured, or more effective. 3/
THAT — variolation — had a mortality rate of 3%. Better than the 30% smallpox itself had, but can you IMAGINE if any vaccine today had that risk? Yet RFK Jr. wants to pretend scientific progress is bad. 2/
RFK Jr cut half a billion dollars in research funding for mRNA vaccines. He & Marty Makary claim mRNA vaccines are “risky” so they’ll shift to “traditional, older” vaccine tech that’s “safer.” Guess what? We used to immunize people by blowing powdered smallpox scabs up their noses. 1/
And now appears to be quite satisfied about it!
RFK Jr., sans medical credentials, boasts he can spot kids' mitochondrial woes and inflammation via mere glances at their faces and gaits—pure charlatan clairvoyance from HHS's throne. #HealthMisinfo
The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department. It’s against this chaos that Democrats are demanding that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be removed from his post as the nation’s top public health official.
It's only logical.
Trump’s DOGE isn’t funny—it’s firing 77,000 federal workers and gutting services, all while bragging about ‘efficiency.’ Meme government, real damage.| Who knew 'DOGE' wouldn’t stand for Dogecoin but the Department of Government Efficiency—Trump’s excuse to merge meme culture with mass firings.
"The Trump administration is politicizing intelligence, law enforcement, and other government functions while pretending to be punishing politicization."
