Pandemic 2025-2029? The USA had more than 1,000,000 deaths, probably most in world as Trump et al eschewed mask wearing. RFK Jr+Trump will be directly responsible for deaths if no base material available to develop new pandemic vaccine. We need Govs of CA, ILL, WA, OR, AZ to continue all vaccines!
2/2 ..same first meeting, he raped her. She went to police in NYC eventually, I think, but suffered yrs of PTSD. This was 1991, and today, she has an APP to provide info to all victims, not just his. Find the podcast of theRickWilson and listen. Tomorrow, victims in DC.
3 am, the podcaster gods sent a RickWilson video to my iPhone w/an interview of a girl who was raped by Epstein when she was a confident, 22 yr old dancer. She said he was a "master manipulator" who had interviewed her for a couple of massages per week (she wasn't a masseuse. he had a book). Then..

@meidasjordy.bsky.social , @meiselasb.bsky.social...accounts of yrs of adderall/cocaine sniffing pre-presidency may have also necessitated a surgery. No transparency here by DT!
Parents/g'parents: 10 yrs ago, 2nd grandson was born in a Kaiser Hospital. We adults could not go in to see him nor to w/out getting our whooping cough vaccine, which we did. I got my RSV vaccine a yr ago due to 4 g'kids. Had 5 covid shots, soon to get annual flu shot. Newborns' older sibs need MMR

Zelensky calls out Trump's "deadline", expiring today. This is the 6th deadline and it surely won't be the last, as Trump still refuses to sanction Russia.

Giving Trump regime voter data means he can challenge/purge votes based on false or imagined data! Governors, don't submit!!!!!!. Otherwise, we have to file suit to challenge interference +manipulation of state election processes: a felony! @marcelias.bsky.social
Trump symptoms:the swelling/water retention, possibly from heart failure/swollen ankles; one hand seen trembling months back in Oval Office by a reporter; dragging right leg/foot despite braces. Parkinson's? My friend had either ALS/MS w/leg dragging (first sign) as muscles deteriorated. Resign.
I remember your telling me that. That is why I have just about 100 per cent coverage....can pick my own dr., hospital, etc. Norm has never paid a dime for his surgeries (old sports injury caused). I had one cataract surgery, no cost. Other cataract shrunk! LOL. Most surgeries are "outpatient hosps"
A friend of mine has a great retirement job. Went to UCLA, acted a bit, and her LA daughter works for a film production company....so, Peg is paid to read/critique scripts! Often done by secretaries w/Bachelor Degrees in movie offices in their free time, wknds! I'd love that.
Will do....started out at the $125, then it went to $250, and I didn't realize it was way up now as it comes out of larger bank acct I seldom see. I'm going to start doing some resumes, cover letters for students (grad schools; college apps), as I have the time finally. Proofread manuscripts.

Reagan was elected Gov of CA while I was in college...he immediately turned on Unions, college students/dissidents, teargassed Berkeley while I was post-grad, called poor single moms "welfare queens". Told the press racist jokes! Divided people, created wedge politics.

Nate Silver has been WRONG since one time years ago when he was right in one election. He likes to play a spoiler, hedge his bets, straddle the fence. He simply takes numbers of other aggregate polls, no original work.
Yet another GOP lawmaker was blasted by his own constituents for supporting President Trump’s agenda. This time, it was Barry Moore of Alabama, a U.S. representative and Senate candidate. He slipped out the back door as the audience chanted, “Shame!” trib.al/lVT3W8n
Two war criminals are avoiding prosecution by refusing to stop their wars (Netanyahu and Putin) and felon Trump avoided prison for conviction by running for President a second time.

Amazing, as the wealth and greed supersede human beings. Report that Jared Kushner (never questioned on his $2B from MBS of Saudi Arabia) and former PM Tony Blair are working on the Trump/Netanyahu plan to 1 Export 2 million Gaza residents(!) 2 Converting oceanside Gaza to a "gold coast" resort!

Bondi herself said that there were thousands of videos "on my desk" of "the acts" which remained to be viewed! I suggest she or another burned them!
We could sit and talk about all at least 2-3 hrs per wk. Did you hear about the 600 Guatamala child minors (alone, no parents) they were going to deport back to Guatamala in a plane with no adults to accompany them? They were on the plane. Woman judge halted it. Follow @mspopok.bsky.social/Legal AF
My husband asked me to call them and I will. We have TWO members in AARP/United and it started out reasonable. My husband has had 3 surgeries (no overnight in hospital).We have the basic Medicare, but wanted the full coverage so that no surgery would cost us thousand$$. SO, paying $850+/mo.
DT's nephew recalls his grandfather's demential (Fred St) and warns us. Somebody copy and post on X.

@tribelaw.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Current new Asian leader alliance, ignoring Trump/West. I saw this coming decades ago w/our preoccupation with: War in Viet Nam -- 10 yrs overall Iraq Afghanistan 20 yrs Supporting Netanyahu Israel war $ decades
Mine w/United Healthcare (AARP) was ony $125/mo when I started....never use it except for routine. It's up to $402 now! My husband, 82, more surgeries (bad leg muscle tear and 2 hernias) is only $235 or so! Universal, on-demand ins needed now, via our closing of world milit. bases (200+).
@levparnas.bsky.social I'm going to start my own (non-$$) substack for secondary education and for voting, endorsements, history-pol sci writing and content. Not collecting contributions, but do you have a suggestion as to the easiest to get started, operate?
Former CIA and other podcast guests such as professors, ressearchers (European, etc.) said there is/was an international child trafficking network incl rich men, officeholders, national leadrs.

New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

See? Just as warned...meeting to disempower the USA down, perhaps economically? All three are nuclear nations. Be careful what MAGA candidate/red state nominee you vote for. Blue up and down our ballot. JDVance can't "fix" this...@mizzwelch.bsky.social
ALERT Now, not just next summer. Blue cities, blue states: if not moving during the next 18 mos, check your voter registration and, if not registered, register Dem and keep checking online. Take photo ID +other ID required. Then, vote in primaries + first day of early voting in Oct/Nov 2026.
Thanks, @glennkirschner.bsky.social . Wish you could straighten out DOJ, remind DT and coup-planners that the law should protect us all. See my post this a.m. of Meidas Touch news USA=isolated from Asian nation leaders PLUS attempted coup against Zelenskyy (didn't work...wonder who ordered that!)
Heads up, @hawaiidelilah.bsky.social , @anneapplebaum.bsky.social, @marcelias.bsky.social @therickwilson.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov @jbpritzker.bsky.social 2 paras. While occupation of large urban blue cities continues, let's keep track of foreign nations with nuclear power and Xi-Russia meeting
to install a new leader, who refused the effort. We knew that verbal attack was planned, now we know why. JDVance knows all, is being used? Lies from some GOP foreign policy leaders do not advance our interests anymore than tariffs do/did.
Woke up to youtube video on @meidastouch.com. Amazing report from Ben Meiselas that Asian nations are attempting to ignore Trump/Vance calls! (meeting for new alliances). Also, Guardian? newspaper reported the Oval Office attack on Zelenskyy wks ago was first volley to start a coup against him...
NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program that’s built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
Science is real
Brian, I'm calling on Gov N via his wife to continue all vaccines for kids, covid or any other pandemic, and food for kids if it is cut. Medicaid if needed for all 18 and under. Keep money home in the largest and most prosperous blue state, CA Nation.
Amen, and reported by several Brit journalists and former intel officers of the USA and Ml6. Since 1988.
He didn't vote for it because r-wing/maga/DT/Johnson told him not to? Shame! Glad Emmer didn't become Speaker.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

@jensiebelnewsom.bsky.social I've been a Gavin supporter since mayoralty days (did not like J Brown's 2nd run/term!). Supporting Newsom to all my friends nationwide and on social media. He's so busy that I will send some appealing issues your way which speak to the young folks who need a plan.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
When a president admits he can’t win and stay in power unless he rigs the game, democracy is in danger. That’s why Proposition 50 is up for a vote in November, to give Californians the chance to fight back against this power grab and ensure their voices are heard.

@michaelcohen212.bsky.social Listening to your interview on your podcast of Joy Reid, just want to compliment you on what a good interviewer/journalist you've become. Analyses, facts, trends, history, politics, law. Thank you! Also enjoy you with Nance and Lev! Humor there, too, when possible.
@michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social I smiled when watching a Germany-Hitler short doc. just after you +JColes or someone discussed Trump's compulsion to talk non-stop. The narrator said, "Hitler could not stand criticism on anything, so generals flattered him. He talked nonstop as he only valued himself"
Who forgot to put into the constitution that a convicted felon cannot hold the office of the president?
MAGA and GOP male trolls....you will be blocked w/out hesitation, so don't even bother. I've loved this country for 75 yrs and can still oppose tariffs. 17 yrs of pubic education and I was never proselytized by teachers or profs. With training in journalism, educ, gov't, psychology, I see you

LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!! 🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥
@mizzwelch.bsky.social You are/were terrific on Ayman's show just now. So correct on MAGA men. Luckily, out West, we don't see too many of them, and likely all of our male friends voted for Hillary in 2016 (bay area) and didn't have one word of criticism. Qualifications and policy mean all, not sex.
True. Corporations (tax avoiders) and Corp media have taken over or are complicit in running America, ignoring laws, and supporting autocrats, even beyond the POTUS.
Frank, just learned last weekend that there have been about 410 young girls and boys trafficked (kidnapped, then maybe sent overseas or to pedophiles in Reno, NV, esp via casinos). Vanish with no clues! My g'daughter was killed there by an ex-con who had been released from jail despite threats.
Listen to one of my fave female podcasters who sees everything clearly. @mizzwelch.bsky.social should be writing speeches or messaging for Dems.
Saturday reminder. September 14 is the next massive demonstration against Trump, Miller, Bondi, rfk jr, hegseth, patel, and the whole crowd. Make your sign, maybe also find an overpass on a fwy to demonstrate from, bring a friend, and follow @malcolmnance.bsky.social to get more info. Goal 15M.
Easy for him w/a golfcart, doesn't have to walk much, plus Secret Service caddies, paid for by blue state taxpayers.
The worthless, lying trolls have found Bluesky, trying to answer our obsrvations by mischaracterizing us, the eocnomy, tariffs, etc. Sample, "You don't love America." On Twitter, I had no trolls near the end of my 'tenure' before quitting.I block immediately.They usually are those you don't follow
Thanks, will be there on TV....always appreciate specifics. PS Tell your Dad we love his podcasts, and I love it when he's saying, "My sources say...."
You are playing the either-or, zero-sum game of Republican trolls. US economy was humming along fine, tariffs not dictated by presidents to raise consumer costs, GOP never has liked tariffs (Great Depression intensified by them). I LOVE America and citizens, don't tolerate lies to win elections.
Reported, too, by many foreign journalists, national security professors....possibly since 1988 as a source of $, borrowing from banks and oligarchs (Deutsche Bank co-signers).
Now, right wingers are getting corp contracts with our Govt, and Trump is taking a "percentage" of lots of corps! Socialism for his buddies at expensive of taxpayers. If you don't see the impact yet, you will. Silicon Valley Tech Bros have a wonderful plan for y'all. Peter Thiel, Musk, Zuckerberg.
You've been propagandized. I went to CA public schools then Berkeley in the 1960s, and not ONE preference for communism, etc. We leaned all that was WRONG with the system, the poverty, the history in Russia/China/Cuba. Religious school parents have their own biases; out West, more variety.
Some European nations, some Asian, are refusing to answer Trump's call for huge, increased tariffs, and deals thereby. They say, "No thank you, we'll sell to someone else, such as China, and buy from other nations, too". SMART.
This was just to make the point that the Large Putin Plan is so widespread that we must consider the ongoing aggression everywhere to combat what we are getting (election: disinformation by Internet Research Agency, 2016 style; voting machine/Musk corruption, fake RWing news).
@meidastouch.com Ernst et al gopers who quit (smart!). We need name, 1-2 sentence background info, of current Dem leading candidates to publicize. Also, internet website contact, etc., for contributions and to fwd on Bluesky, Facebook (copy paste). @gtconway.bsky.social @neeratanden.bsky.social
Adam, Macron is now speaking out against DT (no sit down w/Z and V to negotiate); German head Mertz said V/Russia are trying to weaken the German infrastructure (Germany voted against authoritarian ldrs)...also, I predict all 'files/videos' were already destroyed, Congress/we will never see.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
WHOA! World Leaders RIP Trump to SHREDS for HIS SURRENDER
Bless you, George, and your posts. BTW, heard on a podcast yesterday that the "crime" issue is being added by the GOP to the "immigration/deportation" major issue/triggering point to win in 2026. Nixon et al did the crime thing before to be elected.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
