Rep. Jim McGovern: "Republicans are terrified because the president doesn't want to release all the Epstein files after promising that he would release them during the campaign ... What are they trying to hide?"

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo. Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

Feeling for the victims of Ghislaine Maxwell + Jeffery Epstein tonight as this ridiculous side show is made public. ‘specially the part that she never saw Epstein do anything inappropriate. Um, Todd Blanch, you’re literally speaking to someone in jail convicted of trafficking young girls 4 Epstein

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.

Stunning! A pigeon doing backflips.

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25

@mkraju.bsky.social MILLIONS. NOT THOUSANDS SHOWED UP ACROSS THE COUNTRY in protest against the policies of the Trump Administration. Hundreds or maybe a thousand or so showed up to the military parade. Maybe you got confused.

Thanks Ma’Chell publicdisplay.art/article/Gret...?

I’m focused on the now while looking toward a future where love, tolerance + empathy are celebrated. My work denounces cruelty + exposes where it comes from: fear + shame; and detailed as a whole in the upcoming EP, “Love Letter To The Future.” Don’t give them what they want. Be smart. ✨♥️✨ 💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿💪💪🏻

Woke Marxist Scalia.

Here’s Mettle Lark’s new video “America, see who we are. Who do we wanna be in the 21st Century? youtu.be/mqpB1YJrhUs

@cnn.com Scott Jennings is a smug histrionic rude ahole. I don’t know how Abby Phillips or CNN puts up with this Trump cult member. Abby Phillips is amazing. She deserves a medal

#BirdOfTheDay #MettleLark

Getting excited. Maybe one more session. We should have it ready for our single / video release on June 13th at Slim’s Last Chance. We will be playing a different set than our EP release party on June 27th

🐣 My band #MettleLark is hatching a new video! We can not wait to share it with you! Our album drops June 27th #royalroom

Ice needs to be abolished

What!?

I see a table lined with white men in suits listening to a boy with pimples / without security clearance talking about his adolescent nickname inferring he knows wtf he’s talking about as it pertains to our government. Meanwhile they’re stealing all of our personal info+ deep cuts to our services.

The slander is a strategic scheme to weaken SSA so much so that it stops working and a private company like Musk who wants to start a bank comes in and offers to save the day. Pinky bet

It’s how they create and keep the hate: through lies and fabrications. It’s intentional social engineering

Wow

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Next few shows coming up

Read the entire thread by the Honorable Judge Luttig re Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs

Welcome !

@msnbc.com why are you reporting “thousands” protested Saturday when the numbers are in the MILLIONS! Cities and towns. Every state. Millions reported in the NW alone. Puzzling @msnbc.com

Sign of the day…

Don’t forget the beauty They can’t take that away from us

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

24 Hours and going Strong!!!

Cory Booker has officially taken over the Senate floor for over 20 hours to call out Trump’s assault on the Constitution. And is still going.

Time to change the subject (or add to the list) on our daily call

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

BREAKING: Germany and Britain have issued warnings about traveling to America, per the Independent

“Being a man recognizes that toughness and meanness are enemies of one another. That cruelty is not manly…” -Steve Schmidt

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Musk thinks empathy is disastrous for western civilization. He has admitted taking ketamine for depression. This article is telling about the potential consequences to all of us given his position of power and access to our lives.

We need to be thoughtful about our words. When we talk to our representatives, friends and family: Social Security and Medicare is OUR money invested with the US Government over decades of working so that we can draw from it when we are not working as we get old.

Sometimes you just randomly look up words… #RiseUp #Resist #Treason #OhNoReason

Women in a France know how to do it

Wow…

Absolutely worth watching

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

@dana-bash.bsky.social Looks like your BS account is not active but I’ll say it here anyway. Watching your interviews of Trump apologists today re Zelensky telling us not to believe our lying eyes. It’s insulting to the American people to let these people spew lies at us and be so gently handled.

Judge Jackson makes a good point here: that OSC’s authority “is not significant executive authority. It is hardly executive authority at all.” I’m old enough to remember OSC correctly finding a counselor to POTUS violated the Hatch Act and the White House basically just laughed at the finding.

I’m very much enjoying the songs of the robins this week 🐦

I think it’s time for lawmakers to boldly ask of our POTUS: are you a Russian Asset?
