KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that?

Omg no!

I see Ronny started Happy Hour early again.

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?"

Fox News had to pay 3/4 of a BILLION dollars for lying to its viewers. And it STILL lies.

The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy.

I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…

MAGA World Is So Close to Getting It Gavin Newsom’s parodies are riling people up—and they don’t quite seem to understand why.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

—The Declaration of Independence

Sensing a theme these last cupla weeks.

Can’t put a finger on it.

“I can keep the troops there as long as I want”

And that’s why there won’t be another free and fair election while he and his cronies remain.

Q: The DOJ is sending some of the Epstein files over to the House Oversight Committee. Are you in support of them releasing them?

TRUMP: Innocent people shouldn't be hurt. You have a lot of people that could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be bc he knew everybody in Palm Beach

Huge congratulations, and what a great outlook - it’s about you two together, come what may. To many years ahead, together in body and/or spirit. ❤️

Judge: Tear down Alligator Alcatraz within 60 days "This decision sends a clear message that environmental laws must be respected by leaders at the highest levels of our government."

NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.

Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left
