Photo of an X post by FactPost (@factpostnews ) stating: "Republicans are postponing the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress. Her day one promise was to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files." The post includes two images: on the left, a smiling Adelita Grijalva wearing a denim jacket and necklace, and on the right, a person with blonde hair being sworn in, with another individual adjusting their tie. The post features a profile picture and verification badge.

It’s the Epstein files shutdown.

Follow the money... always.

Republicans: Stop being so violent!
Also Republicans: Kill people and break things!

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

Let that sink in.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

So Kilmar Abrego Garcia walks free from federal custody. Funny how the system manages to move quickly when it wants to, but grinds to a halt when it’s about justice.

The bigger story will be when he turns around and sues the Feds for what they put him through.

Virginia Giuffre: “I was instructed to get undressed and have sex with Jeffrey Epstein while Ghislaine Maxwell was particpating as well. Both of them. I was abused by Ghislaine and Epstein.”

This is so important…

Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles.

In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected.

REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency.

🚨𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Texas Rep. Nicole Collier is suing over “illegal confinement” after GOP lawmakers locked her in the Capitol for resisting police surveillance.

Shoutout to her for standing up for democracy and refusing to be bullied into silence!!

It’s Back-To-School Month! Remember, reading is fundamental for ages 5 through 79!

Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."

They’re rewriting history.

So in the nuts for that guy

This is literally the best commercial I've seen in a really long time.
