The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them. Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.
AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.
"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.
If releasing the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency needs to end.
Trump says he is now considering targeting New Orleans for a takeover in two weeks.

There’s one issue that is gaining rare bipartisan support in DC: Outrage over the continued stonewalling of the full release of the Epstein files.
1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️
"I have no opinion on it. I don't know" Nigel Farage Farage's response to Rep. Jared Moskowitz as to whether or not the Epstein client list should be released – after he had, only several months ago, demanded it be released.
They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal
People celebrating the extrajudicial execution of persons who, even if guilty of the crime they are accused of, would not be convicted of a capital offense... it is a perversion of any sense of law.
And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
This is disgusting!
Drop a 💙 and Repost if you support the Epstein Survivors!
He is the worst, most dangerous, most unqualified cabinet member in American history. Nine former CDC directors and now over 1000 current and former HHS employees demand he resign over his gross incompetence. This maniac needs to quit or be replaced ASAP. www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/h...
Epstein accusers put pressure on Congress to release the files Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna say they need just two more Republicans to force a vote. But the White House and GOP leaders are frantically working to quash the rebellion.
When the president claims everything is a national emergency, so that he can do whatever he wants, the courts need to regard THAT as the real emergency. trib.al/NOUAsPp
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D) has just moved to censure Republican Rep. Cory Mills, who just had a domestic violence investigation into him closed (likely with Trump’s help)
these people are fucking morons and the mainstream “lets just hear them out” bull shit is going to get so many people killed
🧵 Today, survivor Lisa Phillips spoke out with bravery and clarity. She told the world how she was taken to Epstein’s island and introduced to Katie Ford, then head of the Ford Modeling Agency. Her testimony makes clear: Maxwell and Epstein didn’t just abuse girls in Florida.
“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...
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
Venezuela says the US and Erik Prince have plans to stage an attack on an ExxonMobil off-shore platform as a pretext to invade it…and normally that would be an insane claim but… www.latintimes.com/venezuela-sa...
The Venezuelan army said the army raised its alert level after uncovering a U.S. plot seeking to fabricate an incident at waters the country is disputing with Guyana that would create a justification to invade the South American country. WTF is tRump up to? Another distraction?
A federal appeals court late Tuesday rejected Trump’s attempts to use the Aliens Enemy Act to deport immigrants he has accused of belonging to a violent Venezuelan street gang, another big loss for Trump’s agenda.
Listen, all I'm saying is, they are making the weaponization of the military apparatus against citizens more normal. Attacking Venezuelan citizens in a non-combat zone. Soldiers in our cities If I had to guess, we are approximately 6 months away from a drone strike happening on US soil.
The @nytimes.com ran a whole story about the murder of Venezuelan civilians on a ship as if it were a military matter and we were at war with Venezuela. It was a crime. The story never mentioned that Trump ordered a criminal act and the Navy followed an illegal order. This is a major event.
A federal appeals court rejects the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to mass deport Venezuelan nationals. The Brennan Center and @cato.org filed an amicus brief arguing that using a wartime law for these deportations is a flagrant abuse of power.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
"For so many years, it felt like Epstein's criminal behavior was an open secret." “We’re not going away. We’re not staying quiet. We’re not going to give up.” Annie Farmer (Epstein survivor)
Two more Republicans. That’s all we need to force a vote in the House on releasing the Epstein files. If you live in a GOP district, your representative needs to hear from you: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
Donald will protect the rich and powerful child molesters. He cares NOTHING about crime victims. At the conference today, an Epstein survivor said it felt like being "gutted" when Trump calls their truths "a hoax."
Epstein survivor Mariana Lacerda: “I don't want to send a direct message to [Trump]. I'm already scared enough. Just pass the vote. Listen to us: This is not a hoax.”
Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”
Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: “Together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know who were regularly in the Epstein world.”
Thou Shalt Release The Damn Epstein Files!
I am very proud of my relationship with Meidas Touch. These are good people. If MAGA Republicans will not release the Epstein files then screw it we will do it ourselves! www.youtube.com/live/kvJuX_h...
Trump had 8 fighter jets flyover the #Epstein survivor conference, interrupting them mid speech. #opdeatheaters
Moments after the press conference with Epstein survivors concluded, Trump is once again calling it a “Democrat hoax,” saying the Epstein matter is “Totally irrelevant.” Ask yourself: why is Trump so desperate to stop the American people from seeing the Epstein files?
House Republicans dumped mostly public docs from the Epstein files to try to divert attention away from Trump We at @democracydefendersfund.org are fighting to uncover the most important Trump Epstein files I discussed our litigation efforts on @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social
'Lift the curtain on these files!' Epstein survivor shakes in fear demanding transparency www.rawstory.com/epstein-file...
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."
The Epstein saga lays bare the playbook: right-wing media, GOP politicians & MAGA propagandists colluding to hide heinous acts, divert attention and protect the powerful. It’s what they do on EVERY issue. If your eyes are open, you can't miss it — unless you are willingly looking the other way.
Fox News had to pay 3/4 of a BILLION dollars for lying to its viewers. And it STILL lies.
"US military conducts terrorist attack on Venezuelan ship" Fixed it for you
Trump administration have just released the video of the strike on the Venezuelan vessel. It’s the size of a very small fishing boat, blasted to pieces by multi-million dollar US hardware. It doesn’t look strong. It’s embarrassing.
So the US hit a Venezuelan drugs vessel and killed 11 people aboard. This way of operating against a ship is so illegal it hurts. No judge, no procedure, just killing... www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/p...
Voters are angry and not letting up. Good.
The news cycle continues to feel like marinating in sewage
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
oh this is straightforward white nationalist agitprop
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?"
🚨Congress is back from recess today. If they’re serious about protecting democracy in this crisis and beyond, here’s what they *must* do—immediately. 🧵

MAGA pastor Jackson Lahmeyer, a member of the White House Faith Council, says that Trump is intent on using the nation's 250th anniversary to make sure that everyone knows "America was founded as a Christian nation, America is a Christian nation, and we're gonna continue to be one."
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s use of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles earlier this year violated a federal law that prohibits using the military as a domestic police force. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Beyond pathetic.
That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.
"If Trump is invading cities and you’re cowering, you look weak. If you say, 'If you hurt my people, I will pursue you until the ends of the earth,' you look strong." On the pod @jamisonfoser.bsky.social is so good on Trump's military threats and the Dem nonresponse: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
If the GOP is cool with going to the “war department” then you know they just have no independent thought left. Just betas

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
