The New York Times interviewed 40 of the Venezuelan men the Trump Admin deported to El Salvador. They published an article & photos detailing the horrific abuse and torture the men suffered in CECOT. Never forget what Trump, Rubio, and Noem have done. (gift article)

I've worked as a govt paralegal for 25 yrs in social services, criminal appeals, education, employment & civil rights. I've seen horrific shit. I know when FBI agents are impacted by reviewing the #EpsteinFiles it's far worse than we think-age, number, acts & the elite involved. #releasethefiles

I guess my degree in "Southeast Asian Feminist Studies[FN1]" is melting Jesse Watters brain. [1] Jesse Watters' euphemism for unruly, educated, loud, liberal women.

Mike Johnson is fumbling all over himself over explaining how the shut down isn't the GOP's fault. Which just makes him look like a weasel & guilty AF

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?

I hope TFG is having a really bad day. These polls don't reflect his Billionaire Bash, polished marble toilet, or the 20 mil+ recipients who woke up today w/o SNAP benefits & live in states w/ no contingency funds. To quote @muellershewrote.com, Sic Semper Tyrannis, motherfucker. link in🧵(1/2)

How many Trump Officials live on military bases for free now? That must be some "mandate" from the people.

I came across this 60 minutes episode from 1988. Diane Sawyer interviews American models sent to Paris, only to be exploited by Claude Haddad and Jean-Luc Brunel. Jean-Luc Brunel was close to Epstein & sent him a lot of teens. Including Giuffre. We knew this was happening 40 years ago.

Andrew will no longer be a Prince. For Virginia, who repeatedly relived the trauma and who sacrificed herself to make this world a safer place. For us and For our children. TAWANDA!! I hope the other billionaires & world leaders are getting nervous. #giuffre #epstein #releasethefiles

Just a reminder …

This week on the Lincoln Project Podcast, Rick Wilson honors Virginia #Giuffre whose posthumous memoir was published 1 week ago. He interviews: Nobody's Girl coauthor Amy Wallace Virginia's brother, Sky Robert's & his wife Amanda @therickwilson.bsky.social #Epstein #releasethefiles

Anthony Davis interviews Tia Levings, who discusses her escape from the Evangelical/Fundamentalist Church and the "brainwashing" of MAGA and the use of theonomy to push for authoritarian government. #podcast #christofascism #patriarchy #exvangelical #maga #itsacult

Here we go. "Nobody's Girl" By Virginia Guiffre #epstein #trump #releasethefiles #believewomen #booksky

He has tons of tennis balls. But they'll never compare to the two he found on walks. There were elated zoomies over each find. I can't tell them apart but there is a favorite. He waits for catch each eve, and throws discontented stares when I fail to promptly fish them out from under the couch.

I've never been photobombed by a skeleton before!! Happy Fall!

We are big fans of spending money on global health to protect American shores from health threats. But a critical component of any foreign aid package is accountability. Otherwise it’s just cowboying around in foreign countries. We don’t want any Mark Thatchers running around. We need sunlight.

It’s day 21 of the shut down and we are all feeling it. 🍽️Too good to go app (surplus food from local eateries/stores at ⬇️ prices) 🗺️https://myfedbenefitshelp.com/shutdown-assistance-map/ If you’re a CDC worker needing help or an ally wanting to support CDC workers 👉 www.cdcresourceportal.org

Noem’s twin luxury jets cost taxpayers $170mil. What else could we have bought for that kind of cash? 💰The entire FY22 salary and benefits budget request for the Coast Guard (1) 💰Guaranteed loans for small businesses that are inaccessible during the shutdown. (2)

Saw this on instagram. #trump #troll #maga

Then yesterday we found out what they’re actually doing. The staff working the leads were told to cold call the person who the lead is for, and if they don’t answer the phone, mark it as an “unsuccessful contact attempt” and close the lead. I dunno about you but raise your hand if you answer

First, there’s 2 concepts to explain. Unscheduled leads and protected filing dates. An unscheduled lead is what we make when you call us and say you want to file for benefits. Any benefit. Retirement, disability, survivors benefits, etc. Whether we have open appointments to book or not

In 1995 I was 18, in AF ROTC & deemed overweight at 6'/183#. I had daily PT & weekly weigh-ins then a physical bc of it. The Dr said I was in "good health" & did not need to lose weight, tho the daily PT cont'd. But I'm to believe Trump w/daily McDonalds & no PT=exceptional health at Walter Reed?

Remember that the GOP's answer to health care has always been that only healthy men should have affordable healthcare. They should not have to pay for reproductive health care, maternity care, newborn care, nor should they have to pay for chronic disease until they have one.

Trump tells Egypt that Egypt is better than the US because Democrats. The GOP & MAGA is OK with Trump repeatedly undermining the U.S. by handing over our AI, allowing Qatar to build a base in Idaho, and now this. How long before another September 11?!? Traitor.

The Trump Regime is so powerful & accomplished so much that we are all better off than we have ever been ... but so weak that the Democrats have undone it all with one vote & caused RIFs, chaos, pain (pls ignore our prior commentary, fact, history, P2025 strategy & DOGE cuts THX).

This is the first LP podcast to make me panic, but it's important to hear. It's time to mentally prepare ourselves for martial law, and to prepare our households. I'm not sure how-I am preparing for a lockdown and also for quick evacuation. And prepare to resist in ways that are uncomfortable.

Trump after learning he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Mike Johnson must know he's got a problem on his hands when MTG reads him & GOP for filth, states the Dems have the moral upper hand & shows Trump more loyalty than anyone in the party by calling out Wormtongue* without naming him. *Miller She stated she doesn't rely on Trump for her seat.

I'm still laughing at this one. 🤣1/2

Trump ally bought Dominion. We’re fucked, America. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I met Habeas Corpus once when I worked for the public defender & supported a trial attorney. I read about them a lot when I worked for the appellate division. They seemed nice. I hope I can meet them again should I ever need them.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

If the $37 T debt is such an emergency, then why did we permanently give tax breaks to the richest? Why are we sending in troops yo peaceful cities? Why is ICE attacking and stripping women in LA? If we have to RIF bc we're "not bringing in cash" then why am i paying taxes? Ballroom? Please.

Impeach Trump

This is a deep fake and so it's okay. It's just a joke. We sometimes poke fun at Republican policies and even Republicans themselves. i promise you we're operating in good faith and the moment Donald Trump & his party stop acting like this the memes will come down. Come on- it's funny.

Check the ongoing progress of P2025..refer to it often www.project2025.observer

I have a stalker. This is what I get for trolling their polls. I'm going to have to move & change my contact info- possibly my name.

I spent time on RW YouTube last night. Many have had it re Kirk. I am a lot more optimistic about our future than I was a few weeks ago. Do I think they'll support a Democrat? NO- but I can see more moderate & free market libertarians booting the GOP for corruption & overreach & demanding better.

The Trump administration is about to get Luigi's case dismissed with prejudice due to Trump and the behavior of high ranking DOJ officials. what kind of lawyer can't keep their fucking mouth shut about a case that's going to trial? If they keep at it, they could do the same for Kirk's murderer.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Listen to Rev. Jesse Jackson, 1984 DNC speech. THIS IS THE ENERGY WE NEED. Hold the GOP accountable. Call them out. unite us behind a fight for the people & our future. We must fight for change now. I think this message could win today.

Nathan Taylor, Executive Director of Public Engagement for Election Truth Alliance, is working on a team analyzing the 2024 election. They've found anomalies with turnout in patterns that match Russian elections. They suspect ballot switching/stuffing in swing states. And it was enough to matter.

My sister accused me of liking canned cream corn as a child and I've never been so offended in my life.

40 Years of Farm Aid! #farmaid40 #farmsoverfactories @farmaid.org

This was BY FAR my absolutely #1 favorite show open that was created by #StephenColbert & his staffers!! For having the highest watched late night show, CBS is going to lose millions of viewers! Try & recoup that💰 with all your “missed” commercials come May!! 💫✨🌟👇💙😂🥰😂💙👇🌟✨💫
