Not legal so just for show
Have you read The Frozen River?” It’s based on a real midwife in the 1700s. A very impressive woman so that would be my choice.
This coming from someone who has never worked a day in his life.
Public servants should face the public. So why are federal agents wearing masks to hide their faces? Check out our mobile billboard driving around Washington, D.C. right now demanding federal agents take their masks off!

“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.” This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
I was behind a car yesterday with a license plate that said, “LUKEJEDI.”
How can we expect a criminal dictator to keep us safe when he doesn’t even take intelligence briefings? He just signs everything Stephen Miller puts in front of him. He pretends to be in charge but he’s really just a face (an ugly one at that) of an evil regime.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern democrats and republicans alike.
We need more people like @govpritzker.illinois.gov to make Stephen Miller a central character in the dialogue about Trump. Post his grotesque face and correct his lies and destroy his political agenda.
We're at the stage of nightmarish fascism where John Roberts and his right wing colleagues allowed Ed "Big Balls" Coristine -- a kid with ties to criminal hackers -- live access to all Americans' social security data. www.emptywheel.net/2025/08/26/a...
Aren’t they breaking their oath to the Constitution by doing this? Take names, save pictures and videos.
He’s also admitting that he bases hiring people on superficial qualities and not expertise or actual qualifications.
People don’t follow airplane etiquette anymore. They jump out of their seats and walk ahead before it’s their turn. I usually assume these rude people are MAGA.
Immigrants power California’s economy and keep our state moving. Indiscriminately targeting them is not only cruel but illegal, and Californians aren’t buying it.
Trump ordered all construction stop on a wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island that is already mostly built. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/c...
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
Slideshow of today in Washington DC, and how it looks when a terrorizing government scares people away. By me, no paywall: fallows.substack.com/p/a-summer-a...
EPSTEIN FILES 💥
EPSTEIN FILES 💥
Workers under cover of night removed a rainbow crosswalk outside of the former Pulse nightclub, apparently as part of state and federal transportation officials’ aim to wipe “political banners” from public roadways. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/21/r...
Newsom: And I'll remind you, Donald Trump never sent the active duty military in his first term, or now even his second term anywhere overseas. He sent them to a United States city
What is being done about this? We can’t just let it happen.
They’re lighting democracy on fire.
Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be “repealed,” and women should “submit” to their husbands: “All of Christ for All of Life”
With their January 6th hypocrisy, Trump’s creepy Justice Department makes a mockery of our nation’s law enforcement.
How the hell do you write a piece about historians writing for the courts that quotes three judges and four law profs but ZERO historians?
If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.
Fact check: mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia). This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs. Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.
NEW: Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, and yelling "kill 'em" as rioters attacked law enforcement. He’s now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice.
Anyone who believes that Nancy Mace was sexually assaulted must ask why she is so beholden to an adjudicated rapist and a pedophile.
So the whole family is corrupt.
Fed’l prosecutors dismissed charges against a Florida woman whose lawyer is Brad Bondi, the AG’s brother. The client is a former GOP lawmaker accused of Covid relief fraud. abcnews.go.com/US/woman-acc...
Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
New from me: Florida has failed to show legal agreements giving the state authority to detain immigrants in Alligator Alcatraz, despite two federal judges ordering them to produce them. The place is basically operating as an extrajudicial black site. It’s illegal.
Conservative legal luminary Jack Goldsmith points out that Justice Barrett's opinion in the universal injunction case rests on an error: For the purposes of historical analysis, she looked at the wrong statute and got the relevant date wrong by nearly *a century.* papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago. This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw. Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her description—it's worse.
Conditions in ICE concentration camps are already horrific. But with Trump/Miller trying to lock up hundreds of thousands more people, it's going to get much worse: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Noticing a pattern here.
What he’s doing to the WH is sinful. It will all need to be undone when he leaves in order to restore the class and beauty of this historic monument.
As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.
She wants to ruin the lives and futures of young people because she doesn’t have a soul and doesn’t care about them being prosecuted for their crimes later.
With a little luck, we can have him removed from office before then. Retake the house and senate by large margins, and it’s done.
Countries should boycott. It isn’t safe here.
They ARE the real criminals.
The highest levels of the Trump administration are collaborating with the FBI and DOJ to cover-up evidence the President committed sexual crimes against children. Unspeakably corrupt, and not a single Republican in Congress can be expected to speak out against it.
WE NEED MORE OF THIS. 👏👏👏
If he's somehow allowed to run again, there's only one suitable candidate to run against him: BARACK OBAMA. #PoeticJustice ⚖️
No, this isn’t Mar-a-Lago. It’s where Trump moved his best friend and favorite child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell.
This isn't justice. This is one monster helping out another.
The Trump regime is trying to make it illegal to oppose them politically. They want to ban freedom of speech and end competitive elections.
The core problem isn’t that Trump can’t do math & doesn’t understand what it means to “cut prices” by more than 100% — rather, it’s that there are people who actually believe this can be true & an entire political movement & media ecosystem that encourage it.
This is awful. That’s why I don’t go. It’s extreme cruelty to these animals to force them to run in the extreme heat we’ve had. They never should have lengthened the season either. I avoid Saratoga during racing season.
Job growth is slowing to levels not seen since the pandemic. Inflation is up as more tariffs hit. Meanwhile, Trump is opening new golf courses, planning for a $200M White House ballroom, and diverting taxpayer dollars to renovate his "free" jet from Qatar. "New Golden Age."
I looked up ‘ emotional intelligence’. There are more symptoms. A lack of empathy is one
"He can either give us a license... or we’ll smash the fucking window out and drag him out.” That's not just any ICE officer saying that. His name is Matthew Elliston and he now oversees ICE field operations on the East Coast.
We have to constantly remind these masked ICE people that they will have no immunity when a sane person takes office. They will be found and prosecuted. They’re just pawns in Trump’s sick games.
And again for the people in the back: Maxwell didn't just recruit, groom and organize sex trafficking, she also PARTICIPATED in the raping of children.
To recap: More than 1,000 FBI agents were assigned to comb through the Epstein Files to flag any mentions of Trump’s name for higher-ups. The FBI then redacted Trump’s name from the files before ultimately deciding not to release the documents. COVER UP!!!
Imagine. If. Biden. Had. Done. This. MAGA world - and the Bonginos and Patels - would have LOST THEIR MINDS.
Today's jobs report shows 24,000 factory jobs lost in the past three months. Trump’s first term brought a manufacturing recession. Now his reckless tariffs are making Americans worse off, again.
I read his piece earlier. He said all that.
"Good news all around" -- Newsmax hosts blatantly lie to viewers about the terrible July jobs report, then immediately pivot to pushing conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton
Worth remembering: The Constitution explicitly gives the power to set tariffs to Congress. They could stop this nonsense by the end of the day.
The WH is the people’s house. I thought his personal living quarters and furnishings in the oval were all he could transform. He thinks he owns the place.
Despicable. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for a criminal’s private jet, especially after he has benefited so significantly from holding office.
Also, you will be pawns who will not be protected from prosecution with the kind of immunity Donald has. You will face accountability with a law abiding administration.
There’s another video of one of the guys with him walking ahead and surreptitiously throwing the ball down for him. He had probably hit it in the bunker. HE ALWAYS CHEATS.
These are things someone who is extremely insecure does. Many of the things he wants named after him would take place after someone dies. If it happens while he is alive, it would all go away after he dies, and he probably knows that.
🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🚨🚨🚨
I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
This is serious. Very serious.
GOP is the official party of PEDOPHILES! JUST WOW! 😯😳 PEDOPHILIA IS OK...WHEN TRUMP DOES IT?! Trump's press secretary is normalizing pedophilia- by citing the Bible & the Quran. Remember MAGAts calling prophet Muhammad a pedophile. Now it's okay?
He’s fine with Fox having poisoned the minds of MAGA for years while other networks report facts. There is bias on both sides but Fox outright lies.
They never show ID or badge numbers. They’re random Proud boys or something. They don’t dress in uniform. But recording them is important in case they can somehow later be identified.
Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.
ICE is now the largest law enforcement agency in the history of our country. Democratic governors, mayors, and lawmakers have the power to stop secret police tactics like abductions by masked ICE agents: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...
That weird flamboyant signature is coming back to bite him.
After one of the single worst disaster responses in modern American history, Trump is now sending $608 million from FEMA to states to construct more immigrant detention camps
Obama versus Trump….
"how likely is the president going to actually stick with these tariffs this time?"
A Latino family in L.A. sued over an illegal eviction. The landlord's lawyer, Rod Fehlman, warned in an email that they'd "likely be picked up by ICE and deported prior to trial thanks to all the good work the Trump administration has done." The kicker? Every member of the family is a U.S. citizen.
The Supreme Court just put our kids’ safety at risk. Letting the president fire independent watchdogs means more dangerous toys and fewer protections for families. Outrageous. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Is Tulsi Gabbard’s position that Mueller’s separate indictments against 13 Russian individuals/entities and 12 GRU officials for 2016 election interference were false filings? Has any journalist asked her?
🚨Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? Jeffery Epstein: “Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today I'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights.”
My colleague, @repsummerlee.bsky.social, filed a motion in an Oversight subcommittee to subpoena the Epstein files, and it passed. Now let’s see if the rest of the Republicans will stop playing defense and let the truth come out.
Trump and his thugs are cutting the heart out of every agency that protects public safety and human lives. Beyond horrifying. www.propublica.org/article/fore...
Everyone attached to this administration will be forever tied to supporting a pedophile and against America.
#BREAKING: Over a dissenting opinion by Justice Kagan (joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson), #SCOTUS clears the way for President Trump to remove members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, granting yet another emergency application: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
Justice Kagan cuts to the chase: "By means of [its repeated, unexplained grants of emergency relief to the Trump administration], this Court may facilitate the permanent transfer of authority, piece by piece by piece, from one branch of Government to another."
🙄
Can he do that?
I don’t think people have any idea how insane this is. A long time career prosecutor was appointed by judges in New Jersey to become US Attorney, because Trump‘s selection has not been approved by the Senate. Trump just fired the person who the judges appointed. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/forme...
There is likely no trade deal with Japan. There's no agreement to review. No text. Even in this article, the author notes that Japan hasn't even confirmed the existence of an agreement. So why report that there's a trade deal if we know Trump lies and there's no agreement?
