Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

Context matters

Chicago pastor shot in head by ICE with pepper ball, sues Trump administration #NOH8

Michigan Avenue right now.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

We don't arrest officials in this country because we disagree with them, nor do we arrest them because they are standing up for their communities. We all should stand with Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson because what's happening in Chicago could happen anywhere else. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

SCREECHY "PAMNESIA" BONDI THOUGHT SHE WAS BEING SO CLEVER YESTERDAY, BUT ALL SHE DID WAS REMIND EVERYONE THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS A DEAD PEDO BESTIE PROBLEM. I EXPLAIN THIS IN WHAT MANY SAY IS A TREMENDOUS POST — A POST LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/3L0i4tT

Incredible. Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Trump is running the government and the economy just like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?si=AXCJAp8jz78ySvJi

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

this is a good thread that finally reckons with the more primordial politics at play. there is a long, rich research tradition in conflict studies about the behavior of and strategy towards influencing audiences - by state security forces, by non-state armed actors. they all apply in the US now.

They don’t want to give free lunches for kids but Will spends billions on high school drop outs with needle dicks to join ice and pay them better than teachers. Fuck off

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Trump is obsessed with crime, both real and fictitious, and he wants us to get used to seeing the military on the streets in order to lay the groundwork to not accept the 2026 Congressional election results and use the Insurrection Act to ignore the wishes of the voters. #ResistTrump

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files? Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

This strikes me as pretty bad

bingo

BIG YIKES

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine. Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Trump and Republicans up for reelection in 2026 are much weaker than they look right now. Rick Wilson has a message for Dems: do not budge one bit.

Mike Johnson doesn't care about the law he cares about evangelical dominance and arbitrary rule, he's a religious reactionary

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

My 75 year old husband just saw Lindsey Graham and said to me - at least we know he isn’t in the Epstein Files. I spit my coffee out

This is all a lie

flip.it/rFxrBm CHRISTO FASCIST CONSOLIDATION OF POWER INTO JUST A FEW SYCOPHANT HANDS. THE RULE OF LAW & LADY JUSTICE WILL BE BURIED ALIVE. LIFE, LIBERTY & PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS WILL BE REDACTED FROM ALL BOOKS. RUSSIAN FAKE ELECTIONS TACTICS WILL BE ADOPTED. OPPOSITION WILL BE DISAPPEARED.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A foundational principle of this country is that the military shouldn’t police our communities — and a federal judge agrees.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Does NOT include: *real tears *any actual biblical scruples

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE] killed an unarmed person just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park...They killed somebody...They are just putting out their propaganda and then we've gotta later determine what actually happened."

The Trump administration’s deployment of ICE and others in the mass deportation effort has led to more violence and turmoil, and less safety and security for all, including US citizens. But that’s a feature not a bug. The chaos justifies further authoritarian crackdowns. The chaos is the point.
