Don't fall for it. Trump has been waiting for an excuse for a military dictatorship. It took only a few hours for President Donald Trump to turn what he called “an act of evil, and an act of terror” into a full-blown argument for an even more intense crackdown on immigration.

Release the Epstein files.

"Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid." .. (Heinrich Heine) (Cartoon Dave Granlund)

If a politician: -Has never cared at all about whales before; -Is in the pocket of big oil, an industry which has a financial incentive to oppose alternative energy; and -is a well-documented liar, You don't have to take their "we have to stop offshore wind to save whales" claims seriously.

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations? Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

‼️‼️ Newly released emails show the FBI spent almost $1 million in overtime analyzing the Epstein files as part of an effort dubbed the “Special Redaction Project."

Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link) www.wsj.com/real-estate/...

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... “But there is another timebomb about to explode and it will if there is no accountability or justice for the Epstein victims.”

...since MTG is resigning, now would be a great time to assess the pensions of all former government representatives...what y'all think???

True

We already knew. We will never see the real Epstein files.

Only 1% of consumers said business conditions were good in the U.S., according to the Conference Board’s report.

For all the talk about how Pu is the master of backroom deals and strategic games, he hasn't achieved much at all in the last 10 mo, despite a few tries and a friendly, corrupt US admin. His current plan is going up in flames too. Let's stop the morbid fascination w this lowlife loser.

FUCK TRUMP!

www.commondreams.org/news/medicar... We are the wealthiest nation on Earth, but our healthcare system is broken. We are the only developed nation without universal healthcare. Let's fix this now before it's too late and millions suffer and die needlessly #HealthCareIsARight #EndMAGAGreed #BlueCrew

The guy who stole over 300 classified documents,some so sensitive he couldn’t be charged with their theft because no judge nor attorneys have a high enough security clearance to even see them, is concerned about “national security”? That’s a laugh,

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process. I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

We are the resistance. We will not let this happen! #twinninghusbands

Cladonia fimbriata, our Trumpet Lichen, seen Sunday at Deer Creek Canyon 🌿

Reporters: it’s your job to ask him to identify which “legal scholars“ he’s talking about. He says there are “many,” so ask him to identify two.

I try to give a show a chance but if it’s not grabbing me after 3 shows, I’m out. Agree on Pluribus. Rhea Seehorn is amazing. Loved her in Better Call Saul, even more so in Pluribus.

Harry Enten says the “winner” of the shutdown is pretty straightforward, the side whose approval didn’t tank. The numbers show Trump took the biggest hit. This is good news for Democrats heading into 2026. #Shutdown #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AeHphMB-ARdS...

To the Ukrainian people...just know that REAL patriots in the United States...support you all the way. #HOLDFAST

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator. I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.

Could somebody already just “Whoopsie!” drop the Epstein files someplace very public? Pretty please? Promise we won’t say a thing if we find out who it was.

Retired 4-star Army General Barry McCaffrey said the Pentagon's threats to Sen. Mark Kelly are making the U.S. start to look like the government of North Korea.

We may be getting the Epstein Files in December, but they’re still hiding the Jobs Report, the Inflation Report, and the GDP Report.

If you’d just serve the people instead of the donor class, you wouldn’t need the donor class. A million $20 donors beats one $10M donor every time.

Sen. Mark Kelly on MS NOW: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times … My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head, six people killed around her … We know what political violence is.  And we know what causes it, too."
