MAGA MIKE doesn't want to open the House back up. That means he has to swear in the Arizona representative elect & they have to vote to release the Epstein files.

As Trump plans to steal $230 million from taxpayers, we can thank John Roberts Shall we call it a "Roberts reward"?

Trump is demanding that the DOJ transfer $230 million in taxpayer dollars into his own personal bank account.

At first, you might think, ‘Can he do that?'

Then you remember the SCOTUS opinions under Roberts, which made federal agencies mere extensions of the president’s will.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Bought and paid for. The closer we get to everything is unaffortable, money for betraying others will be changing hands. If the Supreme Court can be bought so can hungry Americans

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

They have a long history of abusing children and covering it up. Hundreds of years white Christian men have been abusing young children. They get a free pass with the cover up. Right in front of your faces yet still you want to cover up abuse with its all just a hoaks?

Why evangelicals couldn't care less about Trump's Epstein scandal They have a long history of falling for narcissists posing as Saviors.

Why don't evangelicals care about Trump’s Epstein scandal? Well, they have a long history of falling for narcissists posing as saviors.

With armed military in two US cities he has already started his marshal law. They don't need to declare Marshall law, just start implement. Isn't that why he wants troops in blue states? Red states are under strict control of Republicans already. Asking for a friend

I CAN'T! 😭💔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

AN UNARMED VETERAN, WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE!

This is USA!

NEW DEVELOPMENT: Trump is asking the Supreme Court to step in and reverse a lower court order stopping ICE from racially profiling people in the Los Angeles area. Solicitor General John Sauer argues limits on these “roving patrols” are “too constraining.” @meidastouch.com @legalafmtn.bsky.social

RFK Jr. axes $500M in mRNA research. Texas GOP threatens to arrest Dems for blocking a Trump-backed gerrymander. A judge halts construction at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” as a whistleblower reports inhumane conditions. The cruelty is loud—and growing. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/august-8-w...

Do the honorable thing. Shut the station down. The honor of CBS should not be compromised ever. Go podcast, I've found good discussions on what's going on. Stay true to your honor, CBS. Once we get our country back we will welcome back the honorable network CBS

They have a LONG HISTORY of protecting, covering up, straight white men that sexualy abuse young children

The mushroom umbrellas were sold out.

The A team

First they take a woman's right to have control over her body.
Then Diversity,Equality,Inclusion
Freedom of speach... gone, unless your a special kind of convicted fellon.
Forget food and health care.
Most disturbing of all this...... there are people cheering for this.

The plainclothes goon squad The aesthetics of ICE—puff-chested and average bro—do more than shroud Trump’s immigration cops in secrecy.

Accessible masculinity is the aesthetic of the new institutionalized terror in our burgeoning $200 billion police state. Members of this goon squad look like the guys who roam around America’s dead malls.

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Texas has had seven major gun massacres in recent years. But now—even after the slaughter of school kids, teachers, and churchgoers—Republican leaders have prohibited a law that keeps guns away from unhinged people. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... (📸: Pete Luna, Uvalde Leader-News)

"We were kidnapped" On Friday, more than 200 Venezuelans disappeared to a megaprison in El Salvador returned home. The horror stories are already emerging.

ICYMI: @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social and @nlanard.bsky.social broke the story about the US sending Venezuelans to El Salvador's CECOT for innocent tattoos. Now they chronicle their return to Caracas after yesterday's prisoner swap: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The real estate company gutting America’s hospitals—and making bank A real estate company buys up hospitals and then leases them back to health care systems. Dozens of its hospitals have gone bankrupt.

On-call doctors who haven’t gotten paid and won’t answer calls.
Medical staff asked to come in and clean the hospital on the weekends.
Beds repossessed in the middle of the night.

This is the scene at just one out of dozens of hospitals impacted by a major hospital bankruptcy.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

The court is turning everything back to the States when do we take the United out of USA? When do federal taxes stop. The government shut down all help for those in need, mostly red states, red states have most of the guns. I see much death and misery in our future

Took myself off Facebook and Instagram today. Voluntary disappeared.

NEW: UPS announced that it plans to cut 20,000 jobs this year as part of a cost-cutting effort tied to a decline in deliveries from Amazon. The company also said it will close 73 of its buildings by the end of June 2025.

Some More Great News That’s Terrible For Trump and Musk Featuring a failed GOP town hall, JB Pritzker pulling no punches, a NY plan to slow Tesla sales, and more

“We have a Sec of Ed who hates teachers and schools. We have a Sec of Transportation who hates public transit. We have an AG who hates the Constitution. We have a Sec of State—the son of naturalized citizens, a family of refugees—on a crusade to expel both from our country.” JB Pritzker
