What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

America needs a lawyer, FBI agent, a DOJ or DOD person to tell America everything they know. Just like Watergate, we need the truth. It will hurt, but that is what we need to move forward. Who will be that person? Who will be that journalist? Whoever they are, they will be an American heros.

We are not "headed" to $10 per pound ground beef; we are there. In Publix yesterday, I saw $9.99/lb. for ground beef. Not anything out of the ordinary, just plain hamburger meat. And it's not because of migrants!

What is he talking about? I mean, seriously.

I wonder if he can rig the national election again without Musk.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

UPDATE: Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel just fired a guy he blames for outing him for taking a jet to see his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a wrestling match. ‘Veep’ had nothing on this crew. 🎪 news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

The Democratic bill addresses the Republican healthcare crisis by reversing catastrophic healthcare cuts and permanently extending ACA tax credits. Meanwhile, Republicans would rather shut the government down than keep healthcare affordable. #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…unless it embarrasses Donald Jesus Trump or makes his Cult Members angry. ~ 1st Amendment, 2025 Edition

I don’t suppose the judiciary committees in either chamber are going to do hearings anytime soon on the number of people who made large donations to Trump in various ways only to see their criminal charges dropped or pardoned.

David Ellison’s pick for CBS News ombudsman isn’t a journalist. He’s a Trump-supporting conservative donor and advocate who tried to scrub his digital past. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/cbs-news-o...

The US doesn’t have a healthcare system. We have a system that exploits people in need of care in order to transfer wealth away from the working class to generate profits. When the success of a healthcare system is measured by profits, it’s not a healthcare system.

Davies: And his biggest brag forever was that he was very good friends with Donald Trump. He had an eight by ten framed picture of him on his desk with the two of them, like they were very close.

Pay very close attention. On the campaign trail, Trump promised to release the Epstein files. Now that survivors are naming him as Epstein’s close friend, he’s calling it a “hoax.” Miss me with that bullshit.

🤔

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

Texas flood relief took a back seat to Trump's redistricting demands: “It’s a travesty." [via @grist.org + @climatedesk.org]

"If I were king, I would not allow people to go about burning the American flag. However, we have a First Amendment, which says that the right of free speech shall not be abridged. And it is addressed, in particular, to speech critical of the government." --Antonin friggin' Scalia

I study corruption for a living so 📌

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

Anything less than the FULL and un-redacted complete files, minus victim information will not be enough. They carefully worded things here "start to release info" etc makes me less than optimistic. #EpsteinCase www.cnn.com/2025/08/19/p...

Here’s to Truthful Tuesday! We demand the Epstein files! These resisters deliver. 👇🏽 @robnyc.bsky.social @savvysuzy.bsky.social @babycakez.bsky.social @iamsammi.bsky.social @rfkdemocrat.bsky.social @seizeday.bsky.social @desydez.bsky.social @mockingbyrd.bsky.social @ambbuzn.bsky.social

Are there no other countries with a file on Epstein? Surely after he got that sweet deal in Florida some investigations started in Europe where some of the trafficked children came from or of the famous and wealthy clients... Where are their files? The US was the only one investigating Epstein??

That's kidnapping, I believe.

Life comes at you fast

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

Remember when…👇

Why isn’t the MSM reporting on ongoing protests of Trump? Why doesn’t MSM question Trump’s mental acuity when he says he’s going to Russia (when he meant Alaska)? Why doesn’t MSM call Trump in real time when he lies? Why doesn’t MSM call crazy statements made by Trump crazy? We deserve truth.
