No one did more to make the Epstein scandal a central political issue than Donald Trump. But as soon as his minions opened them and confirmed — as AG Bondi did — that Trump’s name is in them, he did a 180 to insist it’s all irrelevant.

House Republicans create a new subcommittee to establish 2 + 2 = 5. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Why the hell even have a Florida Surgeon General if the uninformed, uneducated, anti-vaxer parents are *aLwAyS rIgHt*???? 🤦🏼♀️😳 Florida is officially now worse off than many third-world countries🚨🫣
Kristi Noem invited top officials from Argentina to the signing of a special new Visa Waiver program that would allow Argentinians to visit for up to 90 days without a visa, but she forgot to tell Lil' Marco, who promptly cancelled the whole thing and sent them home. www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-...
Comer's credo: Pick and choose, and then ignore/hide/destroy anything that brings shame to dear leader🙄🫣
Epstein survivor on Epstein: "His biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump."
The whiniest POTUS in the history of the world🙄🤦🏼♀️😖
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."
A) If there were an actual emergency, one wouldn't be in the position of just picking and choosing. B) While there are serious federalism problems with invading a state without the consent of its government, there are other kinds of problems with governors inviting invasion cities in their states..
If you have "a great governor who wants us to come in," why isn't that governor just ... calling out his own National Guard?
One can only imagine what the victims and their families feel every time Trump calls Epstein’s crimes a hoax.
Sorry Conald, but your "Look, squirrel" tactics are not working this time 🐿️🙄
GOP Congressman Massie: “I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes."
Alarm🙀🚨😹
Dogs are getting vaccinated less and rabies rates are rising, in part because 37% of Americans think vaccines will give their dogs... pawtism. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
Whoohee!😳 - that's going to be one bizarro trial since he's representing himselfl!!! I hope he drives Judge Aileen Cannon right over the edge 😜😵💫🫠
Like a 1980s televangelist, Trump is now asking his supporters to send him $15 to help him get to Heaven. meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...
September is the month where you can see/feel the impact of a warming climate the most in Colorado. Thread -> #COwx
This could well be the most insane thing you've published. Yet. Is there no editor there capable of understanding how ridiculous this attempt to conflate these two people and their programs is? And this is why I will never, ever pay good (or even bad) money for online access.
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
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?
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."
We share this graph as often as we can. #UnionStrong
Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
Blocks and blocks of Chicagoans marching against Trump’s fascism.

Just an astonishing, powerful op-ed that drives home what we are losing and what's already been lost. We are so incredibly fortunate to live with the advances modern medicine and health science. Destroying and stymieing it is just unforgivable. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
Great, let’s see your hands or feet. And NO, DC isn’t crime-free as long as you’re in DC! Release the Epstein files.
My enthusiasm for this piece by Larry David cannot be curbed!!! 😝😜 www.newyorker.com/humor/shouts...
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...
The problem: Mortgages signed by the Paxtons contained inaccurate statements declaring that each of those three houses was their primary residence, enabling the now-estranged couple to improperly lock in low interest rates, according to an Associated Press review of public records.
"The mainstream press is still in self-flagellation mode over how they purportedly 'ignored' Biden’s decline. (In reality, they never stopped talking about.) But this soul-searching is apparently only backward looking and exclusive to Democratic presidents." — @playtyperguy.com
grump needs to go back to bed 😖😵💫
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Holy crap!?!?!😳🤦🏼♀️

On the way the Right has responded to the shooting in Minnesota (and all of them really)
People ask me how I stay sane when writing about this political moment is like marinating in sewage. Here is a non-exhaustive list Dogs Aa meetings Cake
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people
It's just unfortunate that this is the ONLY part of his scathing letter maga will ever see. The entire letter touches on so many other horrible things RFKjr is doing to destroy the scientific integrity of the entire HHS, and it should scare everyone! 😵💫 share.google/OxUxnbtey5Rd...
The New Yorker…
Meiselas: I saw a headline, “Trump Stamps Dictator Chic on Washington.” And they don't even see the problem with that. I feel like one of the last survivors sometimes in a zombie movie, where the zombie hasn’t gotten me yet.
Here's the article which is being shared by multiple news outlets. 🤦🏼♀️😖 The terms 'Dictator' and 'Chic' should NEVER be uttered in the same sentence. Especially for the gaudy trash heap that dRumpf is transforming OUR house into! 😵💫 sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-stamps...
The TN-6 field has a new entry. (We know what you’re thinking, but Dirk beat you to it) www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...
Faux News just zoomed into the wording in that very small portion of his scathing resignation letter and totally ignores everything else because that's all maga wants to hear😕😖 Read the Resignation Letters of Top CDC Officials | MedPage Today share.google/ikOhWekLwnSc...

I often talk about the fact that MAGA does not access the same news as the left wing. I present to you Exhibit A. Dr. Daskalakis’ resignation letter excoriated RFK Jr. and shared that RFK Jr. was lying to the public, manipulating data, and ordering unethical actions. This what Fox News served.
Happy Birthday!🎂🎉 I hope you also have many positives to reflect on & celebrate today! .....even tho I feel like we're all living in a badly made 70's disaster movie and we'll be lucky to get out of this alive, I still have some optimism because of the strong resistance shown by my fellow blueys!🤪
Some good fuckin reporting on extremely likely institutional cowardice and capitulation to fascism by the National Geographic Society. defector.com/why-did-nati...
Wow! The extent of damage this authoritarian admin is wreaking, in every single facet of our previously civil society, is so extensive that it is almost unfathomable😳😰
Why did National Geographic disappear its own documentary about a queer climate scientist? defector.com/why-did-nati...
Good night, friends Truth to power - right on the windows riddled w/ bullets from a shooter poisoned by anti-vaccine lies. Fuck RFKJ (However, from a public health standpoint, we strongly advise against anyone fucking 🧠🪱) ✨Huge respect for the courage it took to put up that sign. Absolute legend❤️🔥✊
Cassidy wants to “hold a hearing” about RFK Jr.’s catastrophic actions at the CDC. I say fuck a bunch of hearings. RFK Jr. should be removed immediately. Unfortunately our Republican Congress has a bad case of electile dysfunction.
They stayed as long as they believed they could be in a position to protect the institution and the science.
It’s a little bit funny that so many people with influential platforms remain committed to the idea that Trumpism, as a political project, is mysterious and hard to pin down – while Trump himself constantly goes “Gotta protect the white real Americans from the black and brown hordes.”
Mr *gimme the nObEl PeAcE pRiZe* is just itching to start a war🙄😵💫
He is also one of the leading public health scientists in the nation, responsible for saving countless lives in and outside the United States, so there's that.
C'mon, Chip, call Trump a communist You know you want to
RFK, Jr is lying right to our faces Because of his maniacal decisions at the FDA, COVID vaccines are now NOT “available for all patients who choose them” In fact, it’s unclear who can get the vaccination And-even if people can get inoculated-whether their insurance will pay for it
Very reassuring that as this administration ensures there will be no regulation of crypto scams, key cabinet members have no idea what things like "on the blockchain" mean but they like to say it because they think it makes them sound cool
Seriously, "issuing statistics on the blockchain" is nonsensical. He might as well have said "We will issue statistics on a flea flicker ramjet labubu scrapple juice." These people are morons.
I'm gonna repost all of @atrupar.com today, but honestly just follow him. It breaks my heart and mind even to skim these and he's out here scuba diving in it every day to bring us digestible unaltered clips. Legend.
If Obama or Biden had said this, it would be rightfully understood as them arrogating dictatorial authority to themselves, it would be the only thing anyone in the media or opposition would talk about for a year, and it would probably end their presidency. For Trump, it’s literally just Tuesday.
And the so-called "party of small government" sits idly by... Hello?
So, we are at THIS👇🏼 stage of the authoritarian takeover now??🫣
Thar be whales!
What if Russia sends sharks with lasers on their heads and they grab onto the windmill at the bottom and then the centrifugal force hurls them onto our territory and then boom, there's laser sharks right on your street, President Trump is very concerned about that and every American should be too
Department of War and Sanitation, apparently Sanitation work is tough (I was a janitor in college for about a year), it just seems to me like this probably isn't the kind of work most join the NG to do
Yeah sure, the same guy that wants to change the name of the Dept of Defense to the Dept of WAR????? 🙄😖
We are definitely living in a very long and confusing episode of the Twilight Zone 😵💫🫨
It’s bad enough to flatter the boss as a requirement for employment. But it’s even worse to sell out your fellow Oregonians along the way.

Yeah right, Gym🙄😵💫
The people around him are so afraid of him that they won’t even tell him how math works
Kharkiv tonight. People chanting “Putin Khuylo”, which essentially means Putin go f yourself
This is sickening! He sits in front of families who lost their kids at Abbey Gate and brags about gold walls while dodging his own role in the disaster. He cut the Doha deal, set a May 2021 withdrawal with no plan, freed 5,000 Taliban fighters and their leader,... youtu.be/TzBFFFBYJno?...
...and sidelined the Afghan gov’t we spent billions to train and arm. That left Biden boxed in: send 10,000 more troops to fight forever or withdraw under Trump’s broken terms. Abbey Gate was the tragic result. So when Trump calls generals and our military “dopes” and blames Biden,...
... it’s not just dishonest, it’s disrespect. To the 13 dead. To the 32 maimed. To every vet who served. Abbey Gate wasn’t just Biden’s nightmare. Trump built the trap, lit the fuse, then walked away. That’s not leadership. It’s cowardice and self-praise. SICK!
It is now April 2027. Donald Trump is insisting that he has stopped "1,027 wars" and Donald Trump is claiming that drug prices have fallen "one billion percent" and Donald Trump is stating as fact that someone is murdered in Chicago every 0.03 seconds. Reporters have made no effort to correct him.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
On Biden’s worst day, he never looked as bad as this sick fuck.
Fox News is busy with the important stuff, like a meaningless restaurant logo redesign and Snoop Dogg's granddaughter finally watching a movie that came out three years ago.
Didn't take long to get to this...
They didn't attempt a violent coup because of the left. They aren't destroying US science & academia because of the left. They're not embracing open racism & nazi ideology because of the left. They are adults, making choices, doing things of their own volition, and they bear the responsibility.
To put all this much shorter: the right's vaccine denialism is not the left's fault. They didn't arrive at that skepticism because of something the left did. They SAY that, of course, because they blame the left for everything, but liberals don't have to take them at their word! They lie a lot!
