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.

REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
This is unbelievable. Reminder the Virginia Governors race is this year. Make sure to get out and vote for @abigailspanberger.com GOP campaigning in a government vehicle.
When a Democrat is back in the WH, he/she should immediately announce the country’s full cooperation with the ICC related to crimes committed by the current administration. Hand them all over for prosecution.
To distract from his personal pedophilia scandal. #Epstein
It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.
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.”
No notes
There are no emergencies. Only a power grab. And narcissism. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted
According to Oxfam the wealth of the richest 1% has surged by $33.9 trillion since 2015, enough to eliminate annual global poverty 22 times over
We're going to see a lot of weird shit for a while. #Epstein
So our military just bombed a boat in international waters and extrajudicially killed suspected drug traffickers without so much as a conversation, let alone a trial? Then posted it on social media? And we’re all supposed to just trust their account?
Rep. Robert Garcia: "The Attorney General herself has said that President Trump is in the Epstein files."
Rep. Jim McGovern: "Republicans are terrified because the president doesn't want to release all the Epstein files after promising that he would release them during the campaign ... What are they trying to hide?"
Y'all want to see how we welcome the DEA around here?
Indiana Republicans have maps splitting democratic counties in three because they know Trump is unpopular and the only way they can win is to cheat. www.wishtv.com/news/politic...
Black AF history got me rethinking the whole damn textbook again.
Manufacturing continues to contract and scroll down to the firms comments and it's all inflation, prices, lower orders and ironically moving production elsewhere because of tariffs on inputs www.ismworld.org/supply-manag...
One of the reasons Republicans are trying to rig the maps is because their policies have put the manufacturing sector into a recession (6 straight months of contraction due to tariff taxes).
What Epstein survivors and loved ones would say to President Trump
Their request seems pretty straightforward: 1. Release the full file 2. No pardon for Maxwell. Trump has refused both, so far. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...
when you’re upset at the cool kids for not inviting you to their lunch table
McDonald's CEO says the quiet part loud! Says, we are living in a two tier economy where the rich are getting richer and doing very well. While the middle and lower class are getting poorer and having to skip meals.
Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.

Scranton native here. Cognetti is a good, trusted, respected name in the city. Good people. Two thumbs up. Way up.
💥Explosion in Lviv. We are still in the shelter.
Here's a paragraph about one of the most powerful figures in right-wing media, someone with a huge following and the ear of the White House. Seems like a bad situation. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/b...
There’s dignity in all labor, across diverse industries. Whether you clean buildings, teach kids, or stock shelves, you deserve safety, respect, and a living wage. Organizing is how we get there.
I still maintain that these unidentified and unidentifiable “federal authorities” can be traced to Betsy Lou Who DeVos’ brother Eric Mercenary Prince. We used to have journalists who’d be on the money trail like bloodhounds. Now they just whine at us online for disagreeing with them.
“It can’t happen here!” It -is- happening here. “This is not who we are!” This is exactly who many of us always have been & if you know those people & you never speak up or challenge their actions, congratulations: This is who you are, too.

🖕The DC police!
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
How do we go from the Cha-Cha Slide to getting gassed? It was a true Portland music festival, until it got crashed.
In Trump’s pay-to-play justice system, you can get away with defrauding nursing homes, skirting your taxes, and committing securities fraud. So much for “law and order.” https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?feature=shared
Jeffrey Epstein survivors say they haven't had any contact with the DOJ
If Tapper and Thompson really believed what they said about a massive cover up of Biden’s infirmities, you would expect reporters to never make that mistake again. ... But here we are in the middle of the near-total absence of *any* serious & sustained reporting on Trump’s visible infirmities.
These are *civil* cases ffs. apnews.com/article/pent...
If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.
#WorkersOverBillionaires at Mill Creek in Kansas City, MO today!
I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.
Perhaps the most famous lines Carl Sandburg (1878–1967) ever wrote were from this 1914 poem, “Chicago.” The toughness of commerce and vitality of labor in Chicago are inseparable from the city’s fuller character—the joyful and the unseemly aspects alike.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
It is it that greed and cruelty are the No. 1 enemy of all of us.
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
Pritzker: "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."
Gavin Newsom mocking Karoline Leavitt as Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games 👏🏼🤣🏆
Well. He’s puffier and oranger than usual. His hair is insane. But that seems pretty normal to me.
The people eagerly yearn for the death of their tyrant and I think that’s beautiful
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
🤡
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?"
Trump: "We've taken in almost $17 trillion of investment." (That would be more than half the entire US GDP, so no.)
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 24%. Millions live paycheck to paycheck as they struggle to afford basic goods. Is it any wonder why 70% of people said they believe the American dream no longer holds true or never did? www.wsj.com/economy/wsj-...
Trump: "If you took away tariffs, we could end up being a third world country."
“.. The president has resorted to the most dire language possible to frame his trade program as the only thing saving the country from ruin.” 🤡 @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/09/02/t...
Since returning to office, Trump has: -Stripped 1 million federal workers of collective bargaining rights -Reversed Biden's minimum wage hike for federal contractors -Gutted OSHA and frozen enforcement of a regulation protecting miners from lung disease "Pro-worker" president.
Pollster: The opposition to tariffs is up like a rocket. 60% oppose new tariffs compared to just 40% who favor. It all comes down to money out of the pocketbook. 77% of Americans now agree they raised prices in the short term. 50% of Americans say that prices will increase over the long term
Handmaids Washington DC 9/2/2025
You would think, if reporters like Tapper really believed there was a cover up of Biden's infirmities, that they would never ever make that mistake again. And here we are, with the near-total absence of reporting on Trump's infirmities. Always like they don't really believe Biden's were cover up.
I say we do a class action case against Kennedy for taking away our life-saving care & for the emotional & physical distress he has caused! He’s a threat to all of us & he needs to go!
The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.
WATCH: “Rogan pretending he isn’t anti-woke might be the funniest thing he has ever said.” After getting called out by Marc Maron, Rogan now tries to act like he hasn’t built a business out of being “anti-woke”🤔 Full takedown: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LauI...
Trump's falling out with Modi is embarrassingly petty "Mr. Modi’s refusal to engage on the Nobel Peace Prize has played an outsize role in the souring relationship between the two leaders."
While Chicago and the rest of us are thinking and planning for what un-American and illegal violations are next for Trump, what a tragedy that real problems are ignored or denied or exacerbated—realities like the climate crisis, the gun violence epidemic and a broken healthcare system.
If Trump isn't dead, this could kill him.
Seattle, Washington
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Military honors for Ashli Babbitt "tells those who gave their lives in defense of the Constitution that their oath was no more meaningful than the motivations of the mob that attacked the Constitution."

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.
I believe every American should enjoy the benefits of universal healthcare, paid paternity/maternity leave, and wages they can live on.
A good read about a terrible person Russ Vought.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
Who can trust in any government documents when they're changing statistics, using false citations, and changing history?
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
