This is among the most corrupt things a president has ever suggested, and I hope the press treats it that way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

“That rich people can hurt poor people and not pay a price... that fetishisation of young girls is OK.” What message does Trump’s consideration of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell - “as much an abuser as Epstein” - send? Co-author of Nobody’s Girl, Amy Wallace, tells @maitlis.bsky.social.

Horrendously tragic

The man in charge of our nation's health was nominated & confirmed by REPUBLICANS. And is an idiot. An actual danger to the health of all Americans. He needs to go. Will the Republican senator who is an actual physician do something about this?? Is Dr. Senator Bill Cassidy in the room??

Medicine is political in this "post-truth" era where some cannot agree on basic facts. If you believe in any modern healthcare at all - by far the most proven and safest intervention is vaccination. Solid op-ed by @manishakrishnan.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

An Unprecedented Warning: Six Surgeons General Speak Out About the Danger of RFK Jr. open.substack.com/pub/scilight...

6 Former Surgeons General Across 6 Administrations Publicly Warn Of The Danger Of RFK Jr. | Techdirt https://www.techdirt.com/2025/10/14/6-former-surgeons-general-across-6-administrations-publicly-warn-of-the-danger-of-rfk-jr/

It’s long time for RFK Jr to go. He’s proven to be a danger to this country’s health. STOP 🛑

What!?

I wish this Jane Doe success in her lawsuit www.cbsnews.com/news/bank-of...

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility. He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics. That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious: - Super Bowl halftime entertainer - getting a Nobel Prize for Trump - terrifying naked bike riders Topics he thinks are not serious: - Epstein Files - domestic violence - being able to keep the govt open - the neutering of Congress

A law was passed a long time ago to place a plaque on the wall to honor the officers who defended the Capitol on J6. The plaque is done and has been ready to hang up for a long time. MAGA Mike refuses to comply with that law, which is a slap in the face to every officer. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Geezus

Check it out! From the vault: Mike Johnson said he’d take a blowtorch to the ACA. Here’s the thing… 45% of marketplace enrollees are Republicans. Cool! So he’s threatening to burn the GOP’s own base. 🔥 #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

Robert DeNiro: "The original No Kings protest was 250 years ago." youtu.be/56B1vHWweKk?...

She’s not wrong!

“I'm really glad I didn't get married. I'm an oddball. I remember in high school, this guy came up to me and said, ‘One day you're going to make a good wife.’ And I thought, ‘I don't want to be a wife. No.’” RIP Diane Keaton, Oscar winner for “Annie Hall”.

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.” Jen Psaki last night…

The homie! HIP HIP JORGE! #mariners

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law. They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Pritzker on Trump calling for his arrest: “Trump always chickens out… We’ve done nothing wrong here. And very importantly, it’s Donald Trump that is breaching the Constitution, breaking the law. We’re taking him to court, and I believe we’re going to win.”

Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is not afraid to hold his feet to the fire!

Colluding with pedophiles, Pam. How do you live with yourself?

Senator Hirono mocks Bondi for acting like Trump's personal lawyer: "It's very clear to me that when the president posts something like that, that he considers the DOJ to be his law firm and you his lawyer."

This is from the Daily Beast Podcast in which Michael Wolff discussed the photos that Epstein showed him of Trump with topless girls. There is zero chance that Bondi and Patel haven't seen these photos or are at least aware of their existence. Her non-answer was basically an admission.

🧵 🚨 SHARE! Wed, Oct 8: survivors of the crimes of Jeffrey #Epstein & #Ghislaine Maxwell return to DC to urge that Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, the 218th vote on the discharge petition, be seated & again ask the DOJ to #ReleaseTheFiles. W/them: MTG, Ro Khanna, & Thomas Massie. 🧾 is.gd/FcWFLB ⬇️ 1/3

Coons: "The government is assessing the authority to summarily kill people....in the Caribbean. Congress has never authorized such a use of military force...How did you conclude that these strikes on boats or ships in the open ocean are legal?"

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Representative Jim McGovern @repmcgovern.bsky.social

As usual, she’s correct

why am I still shocked?

Let’s remember this. When Bondi berated these Senators instead of answering the important questions asked, she was rude and insulting. Our Senators represent the interest of their constituents, the American people. Bondi may have been insulting to the Senators, but she was actually insulting us.

Agree! She should have been sanctioned for her terrible behavior.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient And that's a profile in cowardice

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Because of Republicans' health care cuts, families will be forced to the brink of bankruptcy from one bad medical diagnosis. That's what this shutdown fight is about. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress own this government shutdown.

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

Five-alarm fire inside the DOJ - Lawyer Oyer

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

This rescue kitten was abused by her previous owners, but her new foster mom knows exactly how to gain her trust.. 🥺 #Animals #Pets #Wonderful
