I watched most of the press conference with the Epstein survivors today. Hard to understand how someone (yes, Mr President, I’m talking about you) can listen to those women and then refuse the transparency they deserve.
Just to be clear, he made sure jets flew over the gut wrenching press conference held by Epstein’s survivors, and called them liars, before it was even over.
The graph shows what happened when the polio vaccine became available. Deaths and illness stopped. People begged to get it when it became available. Reversing this is what Florida just announced it intends to do.
If you are carving your name on the rock formations of our precious national parks (I’ve seen examples of this in Arches and Canyonlands today), please accept that you are one irredeemable asshole, and you don’t deserve any of that gorgeous nature.

“I’m demanding justice,” Lisa Phillips, a model who was brought to Epstein’s island in 2000, said. “Congress must choose. Will you continue to protect predators? Or will you finally protect survivors?” Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
In a metaphor that was too on-the-nose, there was a military flyover in Washington, D.C. that drowned out Epstein survivors who were speaking out. I'm happy to report they persisted.

Verizon expects to pay $2 BILLION less in taxes next year. Lumen Tech has requested a $400 MILLION tax refund. Diamondback Energy is projecting its cash tax rate to drop by 4%. That's billions less for America. And their CEOs and shareholders will keep it all. Great.
This gives me hope during a seemingly hopeless era in American politics.

For the sixth month in a row, U.S. manufacturing activity shrank in August. One manufacturer said they’re just trying to survive. Didn’t the President say his tariffs would bring those jobs back to America and boost manufacturing? finance.yahoo.com/news/us-manu...

Amid Trump’s continued coverup of the Epstein evidence, I'm calling on Scott Bessent to release files relating to specific people, banks and entities with direct ties to Epstein. Full list of people and entities in today's request can be found here:
There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda How quick we forget.
Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"
It's Time to Release the Epstein Files. People who fight this hard to hide something have something to hide. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

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.

When I was an Amazon driver, holidays weren’t really holidays. Nobody gets paid holidays. If the holiday falls on a day that you’re regularly scheduled, you have to make up that day to get your regular weekly hours. Would it kill the company to give everyone real paid holidays? Happy Labor Day.
Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )

Fear of crime: an unholy alliance between politicians that need a cudgel, local news that needs clicks, social media's ability to share viral anecdotal crime stories, police that need justification to exist, and the fact that police/surveillance tech is a multi-billion dollar industry, and racism.

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
I’ve heard wall streeters are buying up the tariff refund rights from importers as speculative investments.
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.

The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.
