Massie: I'm calling on my colleagues: be one of the next two who sponsors this discharge petition. I think it's shameful that this has been called a hoax. Hopefully today we can clear that up. This is not a hoax. This is real. There are real survivors.
They take responsibility for absolutely nothing. In 2028 they will still be blaming Biden and Obama for their failures. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Why do we keep asking the same serious question about a thing that we all know has exactly one simple answer? Is it because we have to hear it said out loud over & over again because it's too appallingly incredible to believe that there is proof the President of the United States raped children?

Trump is a liar. He lies about everything. What good is a press that won't call a lie a lie?

I’m glad our daughter was there
Pope Leo XIV met with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church. The Rev. James Martin said Leo told him that he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy.

This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.

The two victims of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting deserved to come home from their first week of school alive. Honor them by reading and sharing their stories. Give the shooter #NoNotoriety.

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
I’m so excited anticipating witnessing our nephew sing the National Anthem & "Lift Every Voice And Sing" tonight at the Chicago Jazz Festival #ChicagoJazzFestival
The kids were at mass already praying. Just send your thoughts this time.
3 weapons today. A rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol. Brought to you by the GOP, and NRA. They were at mass already praying. Maybe just send thoughts this time?

This is what Trump's Solicitor General told the Supreme Court about Maxwell last month. Unless it's withdrawn, this is the official position of DOJ and the United States.

So when Trump makes a very public, bullshit threat against #Chicago and then backs down—as we know he will—how do all the self-proclaimed “alpha” dicks rationalize him being such a little ***** *****?
LOL no the pardon play by Ghislaine Maxwell clears Trump of nothing. Let's see the documents Trump had his name redacted from, the rest of the files, and hear from all the survivors. Not take the word of Epstein's biggest accomplice. What a sick joke.
For the record, the president isn’t the chief law enforcement officer. Also, this is how mafia states are run and he, as usual gives away the game. He says he tells them he “doesn’t want to know about it,” but they get the message. Do what it takes to please Dear Leader. So it happens.
Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."
I was about to post a picture that didn’t do much for me, but then I reminded myself that isn’t the point. I looked around my home office, spotted my guitar, took a shot that felt boring, so I turned it 90° into the stream of light… and suddenly I felt better.
Thank you!! 😊

Our constitutions are not the same. We have been very proud of always holding elections, no matter what else was going on. I am so tired of Trump shitting on the United States of America.

So the Trump administration *did* intervene to make sure that an Israeli pedophile fled American law enforcement. Protecting people who molest children appears to be the only thing this administration really cares about--other than pretending Donald wasn't totally shellacked by Putin in Alaska.
No. Neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainian People can end russia’s war, because neither Zelenskyy nor Ukrainians invaded anyone. To “continue the fight,” to continue to defend yourself, your families, your children is not a choice it’s a duty. For pootihn & russia, this is a war of choice, for 🇺🇦 it isn’t.

The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin in 2023. There are 125 countries that he cannot set foot in without risk of arrest. But we had our military literally role out a red carpet for him. 🤮

The kids being caught up in this wave of authoritarian anti-immigrant hate enforcement will forever remember the US as a hostile and brutal place that cared nothing for them as human beings. A terrible change from the caring and welcoming country we once were. www.cnn.com/2025/08/15/u...

Putin says the war in Ukraine wouldn't have happened if Trump had won in 2020. WE KNOW. If the U.S. & NATO countries hadn't supplied Ukraine with weapons, Ukraine would be a Russian territory right now. The reason there's a war is because Russia's victim FOUGHT BACK!! 🇺🇦 WITH democratic aid.

It’s a good thing that J6ers didn’t throw any sandwiches at law enforcement, that’s apparently where the Trump administration draws the line.

Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including: -42 consumer protection cases at CFPB -20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ -6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC -7 crypto cases at SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

I wonder how Putin will let Donald know that the Kremlin has a copy of the Epstein files. Slide a duplicate of The List towards Trump while he talks about Ukrainian concessions?
Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.

Calling out the (tiny) DC National Guard is one of the *only* things President Trump can do to DC without new legislation. Today’s “One First” goes deep into the history of the federal government’s relationship with the nation’s capital—and the significance of the 1973 Home Rule Act—to explain why:
