Vaccines are one of the great public health success stories. They’ve saved millions of lives around the world. We cannot allow conspiracy theorists to undermine proven science.

Just going to leave this here. How dumb do these people have to be? The reason we can't come together is MAGA are too stupid to understand the words coming out of your mouth.

Early Warning Signs of Trump's Behavior with Billy Bush and Ryan Lizza on Trump's retribution campaign. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Donald Trump is not concerned about safety — only about inciting fear and creating chaos. Federal officers must follow the law in Illinois and respect constitutional rights to peaceful assembly without the fear of intimidation and physical harm.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Perryman: With respect to the Homan situation, this is highly concerning. It’s, as you said, a tale as old as time. We’ve requested that information through the Freedom of Information Act, and if the government doesn’t respond, we’ll sue.

BREAKING: Per MSNBC, Nexstar has ALSO CAVED and will stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! Way to go, everyone!

Objection: Criminalizing Dissent, Part 2 open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

In his latest classic authoritarian playbook move, Donald Trump just indicted James Comey despite absolutely no evidence of crimes or wrongdoing. Once again, this is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. James Comey, whatever you think of him, is the victim of a politically weaponized DOJ.

I really, really love this.

BEWARE TIKTOK: Instead of China collecting our data, it will be the Trump administration. They’ll also control the terms of service and be able to hit the ban button on anything they don’t like.

What in the everloving fuck

Trump Rebranding: DOD = Department of War DOJ = Department of Retribution DHS = Department of Constant Anxiety IRS = Department of Misery TSA = Department of Shoe Removal EPA = Department of Oops, Too Late FCC = Department of No Critics FEMA = Department of “You’re On Your Own”

Umm… is Trump going to shut down the government to hide the Epstein files? 🤔 #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

Repeat post because they’re up to something very bad: Pete Hegseth has ordered about 800 of the military’s top generals, admirals & senior advisors to come to the Marine Corps base in Quantico, VA, next week. This demand is highly unusual, and no one knows why. I see a Saddam Hussein style purge.

Please remember that, while Comey is no angel, Trump IS the Devil.

tRump makes the devil look like Mother Theresa.

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk. He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

`Trump and Shitarelli will do any thing to win this election, no matter how unethical.

BOLDUAN: When I was asking you about Comey, you've twice now brought up the Epstein files and Tom Homan. Why? RASKIN: Because the DOJ is in full coverup mode

yup, these fucking fucks indicted James Comey www.jefftiedrich.com/p/yup-these-...

Rep. Mikie Sherrill: "My opponent and the Trump administration will stop at nothing. They will completely weaponize the federal government to achieve what they want. We saw it with Comey and we're seeing it here, releasing all of my records."

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

So I say to the Congress…SHUT IT DOWN if the Republicans refuse to make concessions to take care of #WeThePeople! Do the jobs that you were hired for!

"Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter what the indictment says, because Halligan was going to indict Comey no matter what. That’s literally why she’s in the job — to bring the sort of sham charges that the previous US attorney, Eric Siebert, would not."

That's Kansas for ya. Used to be a great state, now just a hell hole like Tx, Fl, OK, AR, OH and the rest of the south (ID and WY too). There are some good people there, but the governments appear to be full on white supremists determined to kill democracy and america's former ideals.

"Free speech is not about whether someone else agrees or disagrees; it's about whether you are able to do it." --Jasmine Crockett, just now to Chris Hayes.

We aren't on a slippery slope to a constitutional crisis. We are IN the crisis. Time for leaders - political leaders, business leaders, civic leaders - to pick a side: democracy or autocracy?

Rarely are the corruption documents made public by the perpetrators.
