Happening this week: a special election in AZ to fill a house seat where Democrat Adelita Grijalva is looking likely to win, if she does then Massie will have the 218th signature needed for his discharge petition to pass which will force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

“I can't see what you see / When I look at the world” - U2

Walked by it, had to have it.

To all the Hollywood ppl who got in front of a mic at the Emmy’s or a premiere talking about the importance of free speech/fighting back against this admin, put your money where your mouth is: if you have a project at Disney or ABC, shut it down until they put Kimmel back on air

Massie will likely get the 218 signatures he needs for the discharge petition to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files after the special election in AZ next week but he could get it right now from any one of the other 214 GOP reps, now why don’t they want to sign? 🤔🤔

Let me see if I have this right: - The shooter’s shell casing were steeped in Groyper messages - Groypers are far-right, white supremacists who are led by Nick Fuentes - The same Nick Fuentes that had dinner with Trump at Mar-A-Lago

Thomas Massie now has 217 of the 218 signatures needed for his discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Democratic Rep. James Walkinshaw who was just sworn in after winning a special election in Virginia became the 217 person to sign.

This excerpt from Kamala's book about how Fox and right-wing media set the narrative/conversation in which Dems are always having to play defense is why I think it's so important for the Dems (if they want to win) to set up their own media machine.

So it’s clear, this is the Epstein birthday letter Trump allegedly wrote. It was turned over to the Oversight Committee and the WSJ has published it (As you’ll recall, Trump is trying to sue them for defamation. To which I say…good luck)

SCOTUS essentially just said "We're fine with racial profiling." And THIS is why we said it was so important to keep Trump out of office in '16 and in '24. It's going to take a lifetime to try to rebuild everything we've lost in these first 9 months.

🧵 I’m not platforming the disgusting AI image Trump is using to target Chicago. The community is already living in fear and this is just being used to taunt and humiliate them further.

People who raise their eyebrows at me for getting an iced coffee at 4:30pm: “How are you going to sleep!?” Me, Hans Gruber voice: “Who said anything about sleeping?”

Big dilemma for this Senate hearing: I can’t stand listening to RFK Jr’s voice but if I hit mute his captions look like:

“Us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our OWN list, we know the names. Many of us have been abused by them…who were regularly in the Epstein world.” - Lisa Phillips, survivor

“Why did [Epstein] get away with it in 2008? We could have saved so many lives.” - Marina Lacerda, self identified as Minor Victim 1 in the 2019 case against Epstein, speaking publicly for the first time described how FBI agents interviewed her in 2008 but nothing happened after

218 signatures are needed to approve the discharge petition Thomas Massie filed to force a vote to release the Epstein files within the next 30 days. ALL 212 Democrats have signed it. Massie and three other Republicans signed it too. All they need is two more GOP signatures

Tomorrow's press conference with Epstein victims speaking publicly for the first time is going to be a bombshell. It is scheduled to start at 10:30am ET tomorrow.

The House oversight committee has released the Epstein files it has received so far: drive.google.com/drive/mobile...

Questions: Why haven’t we seen clear, verifiable videos of him the last few days? Not even from sources friendly to him? Where’s video of him giving a thumbs up with some MAGA hat wearing fanboy? Why isn’t he speaking out on video “owning the libs” who thought he was dead?

Is it just me or do you find that people are forgetting to include important information when communicating these days? Like information that is central to why they are reaching out to you in the first place.

If your reaction to the engagement is other than: "They seem really happy together, good for them" then you're a weirdo.

Whether it’s chickening out on patrolling DC or sending the FBI after political rivals, Trump’s attempts to distract from the fight over the release of the Epstein files is getting more and desperate. About three more weeks before Congress returns. Tick tock, tick tock

“Excuse me! I am well-educated on this subject and have studied it for quite some time!” (I watched hundreds of hours of TikTok propaganda videos!) - People who try to argue on social media when you point out something they said is factually wrong

Excited to see @govpritzker.illinois.gov in conversation tonight with screenwriter @billyray5229.bsky.social

Since the Russia summit on Friday didn’t work (bc Putin dragged Trump like a dog) Trump’s big effort to distract from the Epstein files today is all about mail-in voting.

CNN asked Ukrainian Parliament member Halyna Yanchenko whether Ukraine would be willing to give up land in order to end the war and she rightfully said “That would not be giving up land, that would be giving up people who live there.”

Someone should ask Putin if he doesn’t get what he wants from Trump out of these talks today, will he release the pee tape?

🧵 So let me get this straight: The Toronto International Film Festival is pulling a documentary about the Oct 7th attack bc they say the filmmakers didn’t get legal clearance from Hamas to use their body cam/livestream footage in the film.

I think the craziest thing about the Putin summit in Alaska on Friday is that Trump still refuses to release the Epstein files bc he’s afraid of what we’ll find in there.

Question for the “Both Sides are the Same!” crowd: so do you think Kamala would have federalized the DC police and deployed the National Guard to sweep & clear all the homeless people from DC? Follow-up: Are you prepared to be laughed at and shamed if you answer yes?

Trump DIDN’T deploy the National Guard on Jan 6th when the Capitol was being overrun by insurrectionists but he’s deploying them now to clear homeless camps even though crime is down 26%. The biggest crime in DC rn is it looks like he’s trying to coverup his connection to Epstein

It’s Friday, did anyone in DC ask Trump, JD, Pam Bondi, Susan Wiles, Kash Patel or Dan Bongino how the Epstein strategy session went?

It’s been so hot this week that a duck has decided to chill in the shaded part of my pool the last few days. And folks, I am now one panic attack away from fully transforming into Tony Soprano.

Two FBI officials who resisted turning over the names of agents who worked on Jan 6th cases to the Trump admin are now fired Yesterday we saw Apple CEO Tim Cook give “dear leader” a gold gift in what some say looks like a bribe. Great times we’re living in www.cnn.com/2025/08/07/p...

Man, all these GOP Reps seem really scared to lose their seats, I wonder why that is…what else do they know? 🤔🤔🤔

Love what Texas Dems are doing to #messwithtexas to shut down the special session to gerrymander out Dem seats. Let’s remember that Congress went home early and is currently out of session bc Mike Johnson didn’t want a vote on the release of the Epstein files.

On the day that student loan interest payments start again we also find out no one is hiring bc the guy building himself a gold ballroom & has bankrupted every company he’s ever run doesn’t understand how the global economy works. Also, he doesn’t want the Epstein files released.

Won’t it be great when Kamala’s book sells more copies than Jake Tapper’s?

Don’t masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no.

I’m wearing my sunglasses at night. This is not a joke.

The biggest problem with the beltway media today is that they either don’t know when they are being lied to or they do know, and they don’t care.

Cowards hide behind masks then cowards go on tv to whine.

This is incredibly disturbing. The new way to express antisemitism is to say "There are (imagined) safety concerns that are somehow your fault and we have no way to deal with them, so we are going to cancel your show/event instead."

Questions about Todd Blanche interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell about the Epstein case: - Why didn’t her lawyer present all this “exculpatory evidence” at her trial? - Why hasn’t he spoken with the people who prosecuted Epstein and Maxwell? - Why hasn’t he spoken with the victims?

So MENSA candidate Mike Johnson thinks that shutting down the house to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files will make the story go away, but all that's done is create a drumbeat countdown to when they'll be back in session to release them. Masterful move, sir.

About to do R.E.M.’s “End of the World” at karaoke in the valley and I don’t need the monitor for the lyrics. Make of that what you will.

A Florida judge has DENIED the DOJ request to unseal grand jury testimony related to Epstein. Even more suspicious that Speaker Mike Johnson insisted on leaving town to ostensibly shut down a vote requesting the Epstein files be released: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Pitch meeting went well this morning so this is me the rest of the day: youtu.be/YpZcJzEcfjo?...

Fun fact: Sometimes I baby talk the cat and sometimes I use my Jimmy Stewart voice on her. She likes both.

Senator Murkowski saying she “feels cheated” by Trump not honoring her carve outs for the BBB…🙄 She is both Lucy and Charlie Brown
