File this under “essential function.” 🤡 #Shutdown abcnews.go.com/Politics/liv...

79. American citizen.

You heard it here. Former U.S. Attorney and Trump Cabinet Secretary Alex Acosta—yes, THE Alex Acosta who gave Epstein a sweetheart deal—says that the White House has the authority to release the files. Folks, this is a cover-up, plain as day, and we won’t stop until every survivor gets justice.

AOC responds to the Tom Homan story.

it's also really important to spread the "this is illegal" message as far as you can because the majority of people are not exposed to it! most people do not even know the government is doing the illegal thing it's doing, let alone that it's illegal. when they learn about it they get mad!

Imagine weaponizing the Justice Department to chase phantom crimes against your political opponents… then punishing prosecutors for not making them up. That’s not America, that’s authoritarianism.

Guys, we have to avoid a government shutdown. If we don't, a bunch of federal employees might get f... Well... I mean... Theres got to be a downside, right?

I think the president's turned blurry, that's the problem.

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook— We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon. This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.

The number of people needed to produce a barrel of oil has been declining since 2012 -- and no, it isn't Ottawa's fault (it's happening in Texas too). If we want to create jobs in the future, they have to be jobs *of* the future. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/28/o...

One thing Sensible Centrists refuse to acknowledge - and this was true during covid when people were also saying this stuff explicitly - is these people are eugnenicists who welcome a good plague to get rid of the old, botched, and bungled

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

Welch: This is a guy who has redecorated the oval Marie Antoinette style and is building himself a ballroom because he has no intention of leaving.

Don’t look away

ICYMI — A Netanyahu cybersecurity official was popped in a child sex crime sting in Las Vegas yet was somehow immediately allowed to go back to Israel. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

can i explain the gap on my resume? uh okay…thought this was obvious but that was when i didn’t have a job. you okay man

@jaidenanimation.bsky.social is a David sedaris tier memoirist and she deserves all the book deals.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions. Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

It’s taken like two fulls days for them to get behind springing Epstein’s *only known, confirmed and convicted accomplice in sexually abusing middle school girls*

"In 2020, the government pointed to Maxwell’s 'willingness to brazenly lie under oath about her conduct' as a reason to deny her bail. Now, with her entire life in the government’s control, it turns to her as a source of truth. Or, if not truth, a story that can help the president out of this jam."

I'm finally moving from Epstein back to Tulsi's latest distraction, but the takeaway from it should be: **Tulsi Gabbard teams up with Russian spies to wiretap and unmask Hillary Clinton**

more evidence for “a bunch of AI cultists dismantled large parts of the federal government because they believed that their LLMs were intelligent and could do the work better” thesis

The Justice Department and the head of the US intelligence community are now openly operating as fully weaponized tools to pursue the president’s personal political agenda. There is safety in numbers, however. More guidance to come.

i believe that at 18 every american should be entered into a draft, not for military service, but for one year of mandatory retail or restaurant work

As I stated at the time the Court's immunity decision came out, not only would it not prevent a future Trump from going after previous presidents, it gives him immunity if he orders his DOJ and intel officials to fabricate evidence to support his accusations! Which...is exactly what they are doing.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary. Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

If you are a taxpayer in the United States of America, as I am, you are paying for this.

Where are the children being held? 🚨 Children, handcuffed and chained, being moved out of the LA Federal Building. July 10 - ICE & CBP raided two Glass House Farms sites in Camarillo and Carpinteria. Up to 319 undocumented workers arrested. At least 10 migrant kids were found. The youngest was 14.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz toured “Alligator Alcatraz” and came out horrified: “34 people per cage—drinking, brushing, and defecating in the same space. The smell was overwhelming.” We’re jamming humans into dog kennels and calling it immigration policy. This is state-sanctioned abuse.

Good to know they’re running a super tight ship and there’s no danger at all that they’ll eventually come for all of us

These people are out of control. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i...

Swalwell: Democratic attorneys general in these states have their own law enforcement abilities. And I would recommend, and I have recommended to them use those capabilities. If these agents are committing assault or battery, you can charge them with assault and battery.

We’re approaching the show trial stage of authoritarian takeover

📣 Keep calling your MoC's especially if you are in a Republican district!!!💪

It’s 2AM on a Sunday and I’m heading to the Capitol to FORCE a full reading of the Republicans’ 940-page bill. This bill will rip health care coverage away from 16 million people and cut food assistance. It’s sick. And we will not stand for it.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

The stated goal of the U.S.’s strikes in Iran is relevant to their legality even under the executive branch’s *own* (relatively expansive) conception of Art. II Commander in Chief authority/war powers. 1/

Pretty important stuff in here www.wired.com/story/iran-f...

Remember all that “genocide Joe” and “Kamala is a war hawk” shit? Yeah…psyops. It worked.

appears that the line is going to be that the war powers act lets trump do this. hearing it from a lot of people on tiktok who i am certain have never thought about that law prior to this evening
