I think we know why Trump has buried the Epstein Files

“Truth or Dare” Budget Asks for Legislators! (

It's time to put ALL legislators on the record for whom they serve.

First they must demand the basics for their voters before letting this circus continue.

Then, force a response on bills to tax billionaires and stop congressmembers from stock trading.

Another day.

Another presidential threat to jail two of his political opponents.

What will it take for Republicans in Congress to speak out?

While we still have a democracy left.

There's one thing you can always count on with Donald Trump: He ALWAYS stiffs those who work for him.

Trump is a bully. @neeratanden.bsky.social explains that this why it is important for Democrats to hold firm during the shutdown fight: "If you are not bullied by the bully, then like half of their job is gone."

A 10 años de los atentados, "Libération" habló con jóvenes sobre la libertad de expresión, la laicidad y la religión.

The damage done - Nature Medicine When clinical trials are suddenly halted by US funding cuts, there are repercussions for investigators and patients, and they do not stop at borders.

There is so much waste happening.

Tapping the sign

The Sinister Reason Trump Is Itching to Invoke the Insurrection Act An authoritarian’s dream, the Insurrection Act is ripe for abuse — and Trump’s Cabinet is already setting up his justification to use it.

Concern that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act to take control of blue cities is by no means far-fetched. Our cities are already occupied by a federal army of thugs— ICE — directed to kidnap and cage our neighbors, atop regular police violence. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/10/07/t...

I show this clip in my Environmental Communication class as a perfect example of "walk & talk" #scicomm, & it always prompts a lively discussion answering my question, "How did they do this?" Also gets across the importance of pre-planning, especially if you only get one chance to do it right. 🧪
