Good fucking morning to everybody except Donald Trump and Mike Johnson, who blinked hard on the shutdown yesterday. They know people aren't buying their bullshit. They know people are pissed about their health insurance premiums skyrocketing. Democrats can win this fight.

BREAKING: Country singer Zach Bryan condemns ICE raids in new song “Bad News”:

“And ICE is gonna come, bust down your door — Try to build a house no one builds no more, but I got a telephone. Kids are all scared and all alone.”

The Epstein flight network just got a lot bigger.

A new analysis by Zalingo Data Refinery uncovered 2,348 additional connections to Epstein’s island across 5,253 flight records (1995–2007) — bringing the total to nearly 5,000 flights linked to that island.

To my fellow furloughed feds, after trump signed the law in 2019 that you were guaranteed back pay, he’s reneging on that like all his bills. What are we going to do about this? Is this enough to move you? archive.ph/2025.10.07-1...

#BlueSkyVets Americans aren’t fooled by Trump’s sycophantic henchmen efforts to distract the public for the idiot in the White House.
They’re desperately trying to prevent the inevitable & the public knows it too! #ReleaseThem

TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

Ah yes let us not judge her based on the words that come out of her own mouth but rather whether or not she created shareholder value

Can’t sue when you are guilty!

Mark Sanchez argued with a 69-year-old man trying to make a living doing food delivery. He came after the man, who maced him. When Sanchez kept coming, the old man stabbed him in self defense.

Any one who tells you otherwise is a racist piece of shit.

I am really fucking tired of the Republicans trying to portray January 6, and it's place in the larger "Green Bay Sweep" in which a large portion of Republicans participated in, as anything other than attempt to overthrow the United States Government.

Trump vows to 'take a look' at Ghislaine Maxwell pardon after Supreme Court rejects case President Donald Trump said he would "take a look" at a pardon for convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell after the Supreme Court rejected her appeal.CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked Trump about the po...

President Pedo and the Guardians of Pedophiles

Let’s try this again it’s a new day. I’m bewildered that no one has answered.

Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

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.

That's right, crazy extremist Hung Cao is now Under Secretary of the Navy

Great "timeline" we're living in...

Trump prove your innocence! Release the Files!

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize

“Donald Trump’s only expertise on crime is committing it not preventing it”

This picture is from 1992 in LA and using it in this post and story shows terrible news judgment.

Fact…

Here's the reality: Trump and Russell Vought know using the shutdown to punish Dem constituencies delivers a sadistic thrill to the MAGA base. But sating MAGA bloodlust alienates the middle. That's WH's core dilemma.

Trump Leaves Door Open to Maxwell Pardon While Pretending Not to Know Her The president said he would look at the case of Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

‼️Of course - the sociopath will do whatever it takes to keep his crimes hidden.

Reminder to the Supreme Court as they start a new term: Presidents are not kings and should not be treated as such

Mike Johnson faces bipartisan heat over delayed vote on Epstein files "Aren't we all against convicted pedophiles and anyone who enables them?"

Mike Johnson faces bipartisan heat over delayed vote on Epstein files. As he should. After months of repeated delays, even his excuses sound tired and stale.

A Word About the Most Important Voting Bloc in America Meet the self-interested majority (who know "a man is not a piece of fruit")

The fact that a vast majority of Americans agree on a wide array of issues and yet our political leaders advance none of them illustrates just how broken our system is. Power has shifted from the majority to a monied-few. How do we win it back? I have some thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Whether you're a casual news reader or a breaking news reporter at the NYTimes, I implore you--please, please, please--do not believe or report DHS/ICE/CBP's side of events uncritically. End the state's monopoly on legitimate storytelling. They are not the objective arbiter of what really happened.
