Some people truly do change the world. Dr. Bartlett was one of them ❤️‍🩹

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

I’ve posted about the Epstein files every day for many months, I write about the Epstein files every day, and we talk about the Epstein files every week on the pod. And I won’t stop until the full, unredacted (except for victim/witness info) files have been released.

Trump ordered Treasury employees not to share any more images of his demolition of The White House.

An Idaho mother was brutally beaten and zip-tied by ICE in front of her three U.S. citizen children.

Kim: We need someone who’s clearly going to stand up for the people of New Jersey — not someone like Jack Ciattarelli who says he can’t think of a single thing he disagrees with Trump on…That’s not the kind of guy we need at the helm to take on the attacks we’re seeing from Trump on our state.

Mamdani hasn’t been elected yet and he’s already driving criminals out of New York.

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

Trump sure has a weird sense of law & order and criminal justice. Seems like criminals are just the folks who don't kiss his ring or behind. abcnews.go.com/US/george-sa...

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

Participate in 'No Kings' day. Keep it peaceful - that really pisses them off. The more people peacefully protesting, the louder the message. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me zeteo.com/p/mehdi-conn...

Republicans generally hate bailouts. Apparently that belief depends on your bonds with Trump. Surprised? Not! America first. Not either. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

"It’s hard to imagine what economic yardsticks would warrant funding to keep coal plants open. The cost of operating a coal plant in the U.S. has increased by nearly 30% since 2021 — faster than inflation ..."

Accurate.

Any Senators here? I’m a biomedical scientist with immunology, cancer, infectious disease expertise. RFK Jr lied to you in his confirmation hearings. Repeatedly. Provably. He’s lied to EVERYONE for 30+ years. Repeatedly. Provably. He WILL lie today. Repeatedly. Provably. 1/

If I had a nickel for every time Susan Collins was "very concerned" and then backed down, I would be on a (my own) yacht now. “She’s been on the job for only three weeks and I am very concerned and alarmed by this removal,” said Maine Sen Susan Collins of Monarez. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yeah, so many Red states and their cities with high crime rates need this help if that's the administration's solution. Go where the problems are the worst, don't single out cities in blue states.

"Attorneys representing Monarez said that she was being “targeted” because she “refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts.” Gee, who would have expected this of RFK Jr.?! 🤔 finance.yahoo.com/news/rfk-jr-...

If Trump and Republicans really cared about fighting crime, rather than spending on a personal army of ICE agents and using the military in cities (but not red cities with more crime) why not spend the $$ where it would have a real impact: Mental health & drug treatment, homelessness, gun control?

It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.

Trump is not helping (from article) is quite the understatement. time.com/7311613/ai-e...

Remember: “Twelve months from January 20th . . . your electric bill, including cars, air conditioners, heating, everything, your total electric bill will be 50 per cent less. We are going to cut it in half and we have the power to do it,” Trump said in a speech at Detroit Economic Club on Oct 10.

Look what Trump is trying to destroy: "... solar delivered almost 9% of US electricity in the first half of 2025. Wind and solar combined produced just over one-fifth of the country’s electricity, while renewables as a whole hit nearly 28%." electrek.co/2025/08/26/e...

This. Exactly this. 👇

Gus Speth: "I used to think that top environmental problems were biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and climate change. I thought that 30 years of good science could address these problems. I was wrong. The top environmental problems are selfishness, greed and apathy...”

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

Correct Bernie! RepubliKKKans Haven't believed in Science FOREVER......

Pure extortion.

I am not sure if what I am feeling is a patriot crush or what… but there are some feelings. ✊🏼

John Bolton: “The historical verdict on Trump will be devastating. It’s rare to see one person being so destructive. He’s more like a vandal warlord than a constructive president. That’s what history will judge him on very severely.”
