More than 450 economists, including several Nobel Prize winners, have signed a letter condemning “rhetoric or actions that erode the Federal Reserve’s independence” in support of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, whom Trump “fired” based on unproven mortgage fraud allegations flip.it/.EATOP
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
this is the first time a major Democratic elected has actually told his supporters what they can do in the face of this as far as I can tell
Beyond pathetic.
Democratic officials of a certain age: Follow Rep. Nadler’s example. He is a legend. And now he’s doing what’s right for the nation and the party, leaving at the top of his game, letting younger members lead.
Brilliant.
BREAKING: Trump announces that Rudy Giuliani will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Note that Giuliani has been charged with felonies in two different states, including racketeering and has been found liable for over $100 million in damages.
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.

From @niallharbison.bsky.social We knew Bob was grieving, and it was our time to take care of him. It’s been all about keeping his mind busy and distracted.
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA
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?
Who commands your city tonight...your governor or the White House? 👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
September…on cue. He’s buggered. A medical event has occurred. I have no doubt.
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
This photo was taken by a press pool journalist today as Trump left the WH. It’s not a fake. And not released by the WH.
now try to unsee it

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!! Watch this:
I love how music transcends not only every human but every species. That’s why I love all musicians because they share a message that resonates with every living being on this planet.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Finn doesn’t really use his window seat so I am trying to interest Mia in adding it to her property portfolio
❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
I recall the press outrage about not getting clear statements and thorough documentation on Biden’s health. This practice apparently is no longer fashionable, even after being handed week old golf outing photos.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

other98 Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who does not deserve funeral honors from the Air Force. This move dishonors all of our deceased veterans.
Fatality.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
A Trump eulogy for the ages. 🎯🎯🎯👇
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
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."
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Mood upon hearing that the delightful jokes and optimism on here this morning may have been premature. (Tee from @effinbirds.com)
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
Great to meet you, JP! Always a pleasure to meet a teacher here in Illinois. Good luck during the school year!

Oh
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
This Administration doesn't care about the laws. They don't care about due process. All they care about is power and exerting control over cities they don't like. Los Angeles will not stand for it.
Release the Epstein files.
Gerrymandering will mean the 2026 midterms are unlikely to be fair. apnews.com/article/texa...
If Scotus finds that trump illegally levied tariffs, they may all need to be paid back with interest. youtu.be/glhfpGjurxA?...
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
Just an occasional reminder that Tulsi Gabbard is a splinter sect of the Hari Krishnas that is so whacked the Hari Krishnas have disassociated themselves from them.
If sanity ever returns, the High Command at the USAF needs to be court martialled for this atrocity.
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
If you’re interested in finding out what we can do to fight back against the gerrymandering in Missouri, I hope you’ll join this call. I will be speaking on the call. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblek...
Trump did this
We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Now!!! #TrumpPedoFiles
Just another reason to keep giving Netflix my money.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Trump wants you to forget Epstein. Or at least, trust the lady whose been convicted of the crime. My latest adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/maxwell-th...
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Ukrainian Defense Forces struck two oil refineries in Russia last night: ◾️Krasnodar oil refinery: it produces up to 3 million tons of light petroleum products per year (gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel), takes part in supplying Russian troops with fuel.
Mia wants Finn to be released so she can check for leftovers but be careful what you wish for
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
The cover-up involving Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell has been going on for decades. In 2007, Epstein scored a Non-Prosecution Agreement w/the Feds that now may provide a “get out of jail” free card for Maxwell. I explain that Epstein sweetheart deal. youtu.be/OH7WlcLRFcc?...
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
The fun would be watching Chump's reaction to it. 🤯 #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
EPSTEIN Epstein Epstein Epstein CDC and FBI hollowed out of experienced servants to make way for pliant toadies. Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein January 6 Traitor Ashli Babbit receiving military honors. Epstein Epstein Epstein EPSTEIN
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
If you're looking for Covid boosters, I recommend calling more than once. Got three different answers from three different people at my kids' pediatrician office. It's chaos out there.
A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Meiselas: It seems that the outcome that Republicans want is whatever the worst possible outcome could be. More disease, more deaths, more murders, a horrible economy. And let’s literally pick the worst people for each possible position at every level.

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
Pay attention. Your family’s safety is on the line.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?

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.
BREAKING: Fed Governor Lisa Cook just now after Trump tried to fire her: “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign and will continue my work to support the U.S. economy”
“Do we end up ‘merely’ like Hungary or do we go all the way toward an ‘American Reich’? So far, after years of studying World War II, I fear that America’s trajectory feels more like Berlin circa 1933 than it does Budapest circa 2015.”
