Release the Trump-Epstein files.

A gold-standard NORC poll just dropped Trump to a devastating 33% approval & Republicans are peeling off fast, down 13 points since March. When one of the most credible pollsters in America shows your own base running for the lifeboats, it’s not a “deep-state hoax.” It’s a collapsing presidency.

Shutdown Offer | Explainer YouTube video by Heather Cox Richardson

If you are furious at #ChuckSchumer about his offer to negotiate with Republicans, you MUST watch this explainer by @hcrichardson.bsky.social. This was much more of a chess move than anyone expected from ol' Chuck.

Republicans now COMPLETELY own the #TrumpShutdown

I don’t understand camps saying: Dems need to follow the Mamdani model to win the midterms; or Dems need to follow the Spanberger model to win. It’s a big country. Different approaches work in different places. Candidates who connect w/their specific constituencies is the model.

How to answer a loaded question.

(This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Among Dems who say they're frustrated with the Democratic Party - "What are you most frustrated by?"

Not fighting Trump hard enough: 41%
Lack of good leadership: 13%
Lack of cohesive agenda/message: 10%
Out of touch: 8%
Ineffective when in power: 7%
Lack of unity: 5%

my god, what a paragraph

(from tonight's @hcrichardson.bsky.social)

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Good for Watson. Words that should have come from Trump since he was there the first day. But this is the kind of behavior he encourages.

Three weeks from right now, millions of Americans will gather again to say NO KINGS. As Trump wields government power to censor free speech and threaten political opponents, we need to make October 18 a historic day of resistance. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

New statue on National Mall celebrates ‘long-lasting bond’ between Trump and Epstein Bronze statue by an anonymous creator shows the two men frolicking and holding hands with a foot kicked back in joy

“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the...bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday.'

Some of us do.

The (UK) Telegraph on Trump's visit: "There were the marching bands with their flawless precision and the procession of ceremonial carriages whose windows are designed to allow a view of their esteemed occupants waving to jubilant crowds. But there was no waving because there were no crowds.”

Fear of Trump > Justice for survivors

Over an hour of questions today. None about this.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
