He thinks he is such a tough guy but trump is a frightened little boy.

Near unanimous vote to release the Epstein files. I do not think that ALL the Republicans suddenly found a sense of decency. I do not think this is the right standing up to trump. They had his approval. The test is how many of them will publicly ask trump to just release the files.

If trump intended to follow the practice of free and honest elections do you think he would be pissing off half the country? Get ready for craziness during the mid terms.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.

If trump is America first why bail out Argentina, go to war with Venezuela and why say Americsn workers arent smart enough to do factory work in places like missile plants? I think the answer to the last is that educated workforce making good money can see through his bullshit.

@actualrobreiner.bsky.social Rob Reiner has a ton of successful work but two things stuck for me more then the rest. The character of Mike Stivic (Meathead) and The Princess Bride. My dad was a big Archie Bunker fan and Robs character Mike helped shape my feelings and thoughts on social justice

That our economy is booming, while they refuse to publish unemployment and inflation reports. That they want to expose the deep state cabal, while they actively protect them in the Epstein files. You can either be gaslit forever or demand a better government. The choice is yours. 2/2

They’re telling you… That prices are down, while all your bills are going up. That tariffs don’t raise prices, but now they’re lowering tariffs for some items in order to…wait for it…reduce prices. That they don’t have money for SNAP or healthcare, while they send $40B to Argentina. 1/2

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday. The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees. Here’s my advice for ICEstapo: Take a night off. Go to the movies. Watch “Nuremberg”. Your time is coming.

Kinda wondering if the steam boxes release and are popular enough, if that would help popularize linux use/releases a bit more after how rancid Microsoft/windows is these days

Several women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein came together for a powerful PSA video demanding that Congress release all files on the accused sex trafficker. “While we are Epstein and Maxwell survivors, we are standing for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic violence, as well.”

Okay trump saying he wants a vote on the epstein files makes sense now. Since he told bonding to investigate others regarding the files Bondi can say no due to an ongoing investigation.

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

If trump is telling them to vote on the epstein file release now then something is going on. Either he knows the vote will lose or evidence has been destroyed or something. Smells fishy. Trump, in reversal, calls on House GOP to vote to release Jeffrey Epstein files share.google/PfmPGPLYihUU...

ICE is not acting as a law enforcement agency. To do that, you must follow the law. It’s been clear for a long time…they’re not.

NEW: California now has nearly 17,000 megawatts of battery storage – reaching one-third of the way to our 2045 goal. We're deploying more battery storage than any state in America, building a stronger grid, cutting pollution, and securing a safer future for our nation.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

AOC just detonated the House floor: “Eight senators are giving themselves over $1 million each while robbing Americans of food assistance and healthcare. How is this even on the floor? How can Congress enrich itself by stealing from the American people?”

This is a better answer than I gave on The Source to @kaitlancollins.bsky.social last night.

Vote with your wallet and explain to corporations that supporting trump will frack with their bottom line. Make supporting trump bad for business. youtu.be/yJkCaBY_m-A?...

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court. This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

I don’t know how bad the economic numbers are going to end up this quarter. But I do know the party that controls the presidency, House and Senate is going to blame the party that doesn’t.

On how Catholic leaders and communities around the world have confronted autocratic regimes and defended democratic freedoms, with lessons for faithful action in the US today. @horizonsprjt.bsky.social bit.ly/4hSOqDk

Well said.

For years they droned on about “the Deep State” - a powerful cabal that controlled everything. Then they set their sights on “the Epstein list” - a powerful cabal that preyed on children. (Spoiler: it’s the same cabal) Now they’re in power, guess who is protecting this cabal? They are. Odd.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people. Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people. We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt. Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like. Deals with this regime are meaningless.

If people put on a noise machine to sleep would a dog put on a smell machine? Okay break over back to fighting facism.

I really cannot imagine going to all the trouble of getting elected to the Senate only to get there and decide not to stand up for healthcare, or democracy, or people’s ability to afford their lives. If those things aren’t worth fighting for, then truly what is?

The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the US Senate or the House of Representatives.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.
