9 former CDC leaders across Republican and Democratic administrations since 1977 are raising their voices together about the peril of public health and CDC @richbesser.bsky.social @drtomfrieden.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
I was wondering the same thing. I thought those windows were sealed?
I wonder, were is this camera shot from? #WhiteHouse

Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.
New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."
Today's match with the #1 doubles team should be on fire. Go V Williams & L Fernandez! #USOpen #VenusWilliams #WTADoubles
Want some encouragement? Graham Platner, DEM for Senate candidate in Maine, to run against GOP Susan Collins. Kinda inspiring.
Susan Collins has been a female megaphone for Republican men her entire career. Her “con” was the clutching pearls. She’s always been a woman pushing down other women. She does what she is told to do by men in red hats. #Pinks #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory
Go to your Dr's office. They should be able to give you one? While you're there, get the flu shit too.
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Important.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

🚨BREAKING: In a landmark victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state Legislature’s gerrymandered congressional map and reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Pritzker gets it.

🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
What Thugs. #NotMyAmerica
I'm still going through the Maxwell transcripts. Anyone know yet what Maxwell gave Todd Blanche at the end of day one? (Also, spare me with the scripted 'trump is innocent' speech.)
The Maxwell interview is a PR stunt to protect Trump. He promised to release the Epstein files. What he is doing is making a convicted sex criminal a TV surrogate for himself from prison. Quit spreading her lies and showing her face. It’s taking Trump’s bait.
23 of Epstein’s victims have testified in court. In an August 2019 hearing, 22 women spoke about the abuses committed by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. 4 women testified at Ghislaine’s trial. Investigative reporting has identified roughly 80 survivors in total. 🖕🏼👇🏼 www.justice.gov/maxwell-inte...
Outside Dupont north metro
A message for the most “transparent Administration” in history: Release the Epstein files.
🔥 “If I’m willing to drive three hours to come here and talk, I’m gonna ask you to get off your phone and listen to what I have to say.”
The hypocrisy is ripe with this one.

Love! Love this post and super duper entertaining thread. #HappySunday
Good morning and happy Sunday to everyone. Dear President Zelensky, ask him if he’s in the Epstein files. He loves that shit.
⚡️Top European leaders to join Zelensky in Washington for Trump talks. EU's Ursula von der Leyen, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, U.K. PM Keir Starmer, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and NATO's Rutte will attend the Aug. 18 meeting.
I attended a rural Missouri parade yesterday. There were no Republican floats. A win is a win.
This is how fascism comes.
Important.
The traitorous Trump capitulates to Putin, then threatens Americans with our own military troops. This is not a real president.

🎯 CUPP: “One of the first things Russia did after it invaded Ukraine illegally was have the ministry of culture review all the museums… This stuff happens all the time in totalitarian and authoritarian countries that want to whitewash history for propaganda.”
BREAKING: we just defeated the Trump administration's attempt to stop our class action to hold accountable those responsible for the unconstitutional destruction of USAID! We are going take discovery, try the case & win Kudos @democracydefendersfund.org team & our great partners at the MSG firm!
This is A+ trolling
We also know Reagan was no friend to people who suffered with AIDS. Him and Nancy turned their backs against them. He wasn't for We the People.
Trump is telling a lie with every sentence on national TV, and hardly any of his lies will be corrected by the news media that are amplifying his dishonesty. This is media capture – the news industry's complicity in fascism.
History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
They murdered the Rose Garden. These are truly tacky, tasteless people. The worst people.

Living in So Calif this wildlife crossing has been big news because of our love for P-22. I was pleasantly surprised to see Wallis Annenberg involvement. Thousands of drivers each day will see Wallis Annenberg's name, on the crossing, for a good thing. share.google/wEwh8x8GYvyO...

Judges Keep Restrictions on L.A. Immigration Arrests, in Setback for Trump Agenda: An appellate panel upheld a finding that federal agents appeared to rely exclusively on race and other factors, such as speaking Spanish, in making arrests. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/u...
The 9th district court affirmed what we already knew: you can’t just snatch people up for being brown and working hard. Not in the fields, not in a Home Depot parking lot, and NOT on our watch. This is a victory for the many, and not by the few. 1/
My office just received word that the 9th Circuit ruled in favor of Angelenos. The Temporary Restraining Order to stop unconstitutional and reckless raids has been upheld. This is a victory for Los Angeles — I will ALWAYS fight for our city. mayor.lacity.gov/news/mayor-b...
“He stole her” is very clearly language a predator uses when discussing what he deems his property.
I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
Dems should vow to impeach Bove and any nominee who did not testify truthfully under oath
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...
Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy
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.
NEW: New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan (R) has declined a request from the U.S. Department of Justice to turn over the state’s full statewide voter registration list, citing state law and cybersecurity concerns. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵

The same Republican Party that impeached Bill Clinton over a consensual sex act with another adult is now protecting Donald Trump for alleged nonconsensual sex acts with underage girls. #WWJD?
This is serious. Very serious.
Welcome to America; where our president is publicly saying nice things about, giving immunity to, and suggesting a possible pardon for a well-connected child sex trafficker. But I’m sure he’s got a good reason.
The Grand Poobar of 'deflection'. Cheato has no sense of his own actions or he does?
A lot of people need to hear this
Enough evidence already exists on top of the most obvious coverup of all time. If you know someone who still supports Donald, you now legally get to call them a pedophile supporter.
Totally normal stuff: the U.S. president once again threatening to shut down media outlets for reporting the news. Just a wannabe dictator doing his thing.
CARTOON OF THE DAY
Baby turtles make their first journey to the water, and it was pure magic...
This. Please stop telling me that you are “not surprised.” Public interest journalism isn’t about shock value. It’s about informing people and holding power to account. I don’t care if you’re not surprised by the information I report on.
Another example of the Religious Righteous saying "do as I say, not as I do." Hypocrisy at it's finest.
Gavin Newsom is on 🔥
Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?
What a disgusting travesty. This is what Profiling without any evidence gets. All the ICE agent had to do was open a laptop & check? The incompetence of the Trump Administration is criminal.
We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors. Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher. Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Maria Farmer, speaks out.
Turns out the best way to make a deal to get out of your child sex trafficking conviction is to have one of your clients get elected president.
Cheato is the last person who can judge a woman. He's a crook & a cheat. A felon & a traitor.
Instead this serial liar, sex trafficker and abuser of girls, along with her partner in crime Jeffrey Epstein, waited to strike a deal with someone with a massive and creepy conflict of interest so large she could drive her enormous fetid soul through with ease.
Love these women

TACO is imploding the value of the dollar on purpose so he can make a fortune for himself in crypto. This is what happens when you elect a self-serving narcissist. This WILL end very badly for the U.S. economy. This admin is already cooking the books to make it look like things are remaining
