Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Worst. President. EVER.

Hitler said the exact same thing, hence the destruction of monuments, artwork, etc. by the Nazis. Miller needs to start wearing his armband.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work. So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

I think these videos are going to break through and upset voters…..

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Excellent thread on the steps Trump was supposed to take in advance of demolishing portions of the east wing of the White House.

his person is psychotic and is badly in need of help.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Nice turnout for #NoKings in La Jolla! Big crowd, lots of great, positive energy, and overwhelming support from passing motorists!

Sadists. Truly sick people. ICE is thoroughly un-American. Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

California is the 4th largest economy in the world. It’s time it and other blue states used their economic clout to fight Trump’s agenda. The latest from @clarajeffery:

BREAKING: We just won in court — again. A federal judge BLOCKED Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to DEPLOY 300 OF OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTLAND.

This is heavy.

My advice to Democrats today and assuming the government shuts down at midnight tonight? Don't cave! Tell the public what’s at stake. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/senate-dems-dont-cave-and-explain

After this crazy address by Trump to military brass, I doubt any military general or admiral would follow one of his orders.

Trump deleted his bizarre post featuring an AI video of him endorsing “medbeds,” which raises the question of whether he’s so confused that he thought it was a real video of him talking

Yet another talentless Trump grifting on the American people. How about, you know, getting a job at a fast food restaurant so you actually contribute to society instead of becoming a "brand" like your mom?

RESULT: Adelita Grijalva is heading to Congress. The Democrat has won the #AZ07 special election very easily, and she will replace her father Raúl Grijalva. AP just called it. Among other things, Grijalva is expected to be the 218th person to sign the Epstein discharge position.

It’s like the Kardashians hooked up with the Squid Game, gave birth to a Sopranos reboot and we’re supposed to pretend it’s the West Wing.

Gaddafi was so insane even Reagan dubbed him the Mad Man of the Middle East. His UN speech in 2009 was considered one of the most lunatic addresses in history. Trump just oudid him. Mad Man of the United States. That should be the headline.

What is it that Trump said about “human shields” a few days ago?

Times 100.

Bye bye...

He really is the worst human to ever live…

Cancelling our Disney+ subscription as well as our annual 3-4 day stay at the Disneyland hotel for spring break.

Matthew Dowd is fired for stating the obvious. Brian Kilmeade says we should euthanize the homeless, his cohosts agree and they'll be repeating their violent rhetoric regularly for years to come. It's kind of like Al Franken losing his seat over a joke while a criminal rapist gets reelected POTUS.

If Trump did not write or sign the letter, who did? Obviously, Trump was asked to contribute to the book and a letter was sent back for inclusion. So either Trump wrote it, or someone in his circle was assigned the task to do it. If not Trump, who?

Oh god I can’t unsee the bush

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Donald Trump being booed at the US Open Men's Tennis Final (better audio version)

When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable.

I know people are overwhelmed by too much news from every angle, and maybe people are distracted by the "terrorist" language, or just plain exhausted. But this is the President of the United States saying he is going to go around killing people because he thinks they're criminals. And already did.

Not sure what’s most alarming fact, that the administration doesn’t appear to know what the boat it blew up was carrying or where it was headed, that they haven’t identified a legal authority for the action, or that it’s the first in a series of planned attacks. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

House GOP leaders are urging their members to steer clear of the discharge petition aiming to force the Trump administration to release all the government files on Jeffrey Epstein. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? WHO ARE THEY PROTECTING?

NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.

I wonder how much it will cost to change the millions (billions?) of documents that use the term DoD to DoW?

Americans do not want to live under a military state, that was never the American dream. Our country was founded on the promise of liberty, not soldiers patrolling our streets. The Constitution is clear: the military does not police civilians.

I never thought I’d see the day where I say FUCK GLORIA GAYNOR, but here we are.

"Yesterday featured a striking spectacle: A three-and-a-quarter-hour televised Politburo meeting, in which the highest-ranking government officials of the world’s oldest and once greatest democracy abased themselves ridiculously before their presidential idol." www.thebulwark.com/p/all-the-pr...

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

This statement alone is enough to nullify any and all obligations to accept the legitimacy of his authority.

🚨BREAKING: One day after Texas passed its new map, my law firm, in partnership with @redistrictfdn.bsky.social, has filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to block the use of the new congressional map for the 2026 election. www.democracydocket.com/cases/texas-...
