Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage? And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

Sitting here recovering from pneumonia, watching the US circle the toilet of fascism even further, while waiting to find out if my husband has cancer, while struggling to stay afloat on our limited income, is about all of the stress I think I can deal with for the foreseeable future.

They’re just jonesing for a terrorist attack.

Trump wants to hold the government hostage until Democrats agree to raise health care costs for millions of Americans and give him more unchecked power. But health care is a human right. And in America, we have no kings.

Look at that huge jump in Trump's wealth in 2025. Americans can't afford groceries or health care. But the Trump presidency is working out great for Donald Trump. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

Why didn’t Schumer and Jeffries stand outside the WH in front of reporters and speak the truth that Donald Trump is legitimately insane and cognitively off the rails? Start putting that narrative out there for fucks sake and stop tiptoeing around it.

Whatever happens in the senate, you should know that tax subsidies for health insurance premiums are set to expire at midnight. Democrats want to keep the subsidies but republicans won’t negotiate. Also insurance premiums are set to ⬆️, guaranteeing millions will lose their insurance in January.

Donald Trump is clinically insane.

The US is a 5-alarm blaze. And most in DC & mouthpieces on our screens are carrying on like business as usual. The media normalized the fascism from the outset. We are days away from the US no longer having a functioning, constitutional government. And there is no peaceful return from that.

What we’re seeing is the fruition of year’s long efforts by the right wing to control every aspect of life in the US, especially the flow of information. The fourth estate that used to exist to keep government honest is dead, resurrected now as an arm of the corrupt state run media.

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

Aside from how utterly deranged it is to even make light of this, he's not mocking some reporter or pundit by calling him "General." Ben Hodges is a real three-star general, he was the commander of the US Army in Europe before he retired. In other words, he's worked with a lot of Germans soldiers.

I mean propaganda like this is straight outta 1930’s Berlin.

Shutting down the govt would be every (normal) president’s nightmare. The toll on the average citizen and those reliant on the govt would be devastating. But it’s actually Trump’s wet dream. He becomes king. He does not care about harming millions. FFS, pay attention where this is headed people.

Nailed it.

Donald Trump is legitimately insane.

A MUST watch!

This is an escalation, but admin has already been using gov’t power to crack down on media for a while. I know first hand. But, you have to defend free speech, not fold. (We are still fighting, but so far this lesson is standing firm better than caving).

Why are so many (all) conservative men perverts/pedophiles?? open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

Hey ABC, soon it will be the remains of the US if networks like ABC keep licking the boot of the autocrat. What a miserable failure your network is. Your capitulation to Trump makes one think Bob Iger is one of the Epstein pedophiles.

Hillary is always right. About everything.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

This FCC does not have the authority, the ability, or the constitutional right to police content or punish broadcasters for speech the government dislikes. Free speech is the foundation of our democracy, and we must push back against any attempt to erode it.
