“..Six months after the president’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs .., U.S. soybean farmers are learning that China — long the predominant market for their product — doesn’t need them anymore.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

Mike Johnson has still not sworn in Rep Adelina Grjjalva who won special election on Sept 23. After she’s sworn in, she is 218th vote to discharge petition, which forces Johnson to schedule a vote of full House to release the #EpsteinFiles He is trying shut down the government before vote.

No money for this fascist administration. Don't fund the destruction of our country. #ShutItDown

Such an important read. Well said! open.substack.com/pub/thebwsti...

The Nat’l Press Club also weighed in on Fri’s changes. “If the news about our military must first be approved by the gov’t, then the public is no longer getting independent reporting,” said club pres Mike Balsamo. “It is getting only what officials want them to see. That should alarm every Amer.”

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Abughazaleh told HuffPost that later in the morning, she and other protesters attempted to block a van after agents arrested a protester in what Abughazaleh described as a “kidnapping.” www.huffpost.com/entry/congre...

"In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration..." www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

Fantastic For him!

As a member of the Oversight Committee, I just questioned Alex Acosta, the US Attorney who negotiated Epstein’s sweetheart plea deal. His answers were evasive and non-credible. What is clear is that there is A LOT they are hiding. I won’t stop until the full Epstein files are released.

Earth 1 vs earth 2

A blurb of what this administration aka Project 2025 is all about:

Geo Group and CoreCivic are cashing in on Trump’s immigration crackdown, reporting soaring profits as arrests and detentions rise. Both are expanding detention centers and electronic monitoring to keep up with demand, fueling the deportation-industrial complex. abcnews.go.com/US/top-priva...

Oklahoma is 50th in education because Walters uses kids’ education as his play toy to score his next hit on Fox. He couldn’t care less about kids.

As long as they’re enabling Trump’s authoritarian power grab, I’m going to #BoycottDisneyABC and cancel Disney & Paramount.

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

Bill Pulte, the nepobaby hack, should resign www.reuters.com/world/us/fed...

Even after DOGE, the tariffs, and all the performative stuff, the reality is that they're blowing out the budget deficit, and this year is on track to be the largest in the post-pandemic period.

They gutted the FBI of its best people. Now they need them and they are not there. We warned that Trump & his cronies incompetence would do great damage and that is what is happening. Scrutiny Mounts of F.B.I. Under Patel as Kirk’s Killer Remains at Large www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

This is not a funny joke, esp from DJT. amp.tmz.com/2025/09/08/e...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

The CDC oversees larger-scale operations that cannot simply be handed off to states or individual organizations. Public health responses must be coordinated at the national level in order to be effective, since health risks are shared across state borders. theconversation.com/kennedy-hear...

⚠️DEFYING RFK Jr’s CDC—The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) reaffirmed its support for COVID-19 vaccination in pregnant women, breaking from flawed advice in the most recent CDC immunization schedule set by RFK Jr. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

The horrors continue. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

23 days since the Alaska summit, 24 days since Trump vowed “severe consequences” if Putin didn’t agree to a ceasefire. www.cnn.com/2025/09/07/e...

So, Trump is threatening a "Department of War" invasion of Chicago. Maybe Republicans should first do something about unfettered gun running into these cities from Republican states and the fact 31 states exempt private gun sales from background checks. medium.com/armedwithrea...

This is abhorrent. America should not tolerate a president relishing in Pinochet-style rule over our own citizens.

“Trump family made $5 BILLION off corrupt crypto deals. Your family gets higher energy prices and cuts to health care. His family gets billions. Corruption, plain and simple.” @repcasar.bsky.social “Corruption, plain and simple.” @warren.senate.gov bsky.app/profile/tiff... bsky.app/profile/judd...

Ha! The poorest 25% of workers LOSE money under this bill while the richest Americans get a $270,000 tax cut. They can rebrand all they want. The facts are the facts. They screwed working people to help their billionaire and corporate donors.

If Turkey can do something, why can’t the US stop sending weapons to this genocidal state?? www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/20...

ICYMI: Trump has just about decimated the federal workforce, with more than 199,000 people pushed out since Jan, per a new report. Nearly 10% of the entire federal civilian workforce gone. “The services that Americans have come to expect are not going to be there.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Ummm 🤨

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
