Trump-Epstein 'friendship' statue removed from National Mall one day after it appeared A statue of Trump and Epstein was removed from the National Mall by U.S. Park Police, despite a permit allowing it to remain until Sept. 28.

It's no longer on the mall. It was supposed to be up until Sunday, but someone decided it should come down . . . 🤔

This morning, we filed a FOIA request regarding the removal of the Trump-Epstein statue from the National Mall by the U.S. Park Police.

The statute was supposed to be on display until Sunday. We want to know if the administration is hiding art just because Trump doesn’t like it.

I think also he and the administration like pain for women, from no Tylenol for moms to no abortions for those who wanted to be moms but had serious pregnancy issues. Lying about autistic people also hits moms hard as they still do a disproportionate amount of childcare.

They want to hurt women.

Didn't realize until I was omw home that it's two blocks from this:

Me, for scale 😄

Why do we fund the NEA? Why do we put money into the arts?

Because it's fucking important

If you want to see it person, too, it's on the National Mall, on 3rd.

It's real, and it's glorious 😂

I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source.

You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"?

Resistance in action! Proud of DC residents! #FREEDC

Thank you, AG Schwalb, for standing up for us.

Fyi, AG is elected by the citizens of DC. This isn't a move by the Bowser administration, and she hasn't "endorsed" the lawsuit, according to CNN.

Next mayoral primary is June 16, 2026.

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures.

Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims.

Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

YouTube video by MSNBC ‘Warrior ethos?’: Trump’s army of garbage collectors exposes ‘absurd’ orders

OPINION:

Trump’s army of garbage collectors exposes ‘absurd’ orders

“Soldiers wear camouflage to conceal themselves from the enemy they want to kill. Safety vests are what municipal workers put on so you can see them at work,” @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Trump’s army of garbage collectors in DC.

Robert Reich How Trump’s Agenda Could Kill You

Trump just hung a giant portrait of himself over the Department of Labor building, claiming he puts "American Workers First."

Take it from a former Secretary of Labor: Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about working people. https://youtu.be/ARL5VvYJUe8?feature=shared

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

Turns out some of the “we want small government” people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.

I've gotten two emails in the past two days about "Join[ing] Mayor Bowser for Women’s Equality Day 2025 – August 27 at the Go-Go Museum" and nothing about "Join Mayor Bowser in Standing Up for Our City against the Forces of Fascism at the Go-Go Museum."

Am I missing a listserv?

At today’s press briefing, Trump was asked how long he plans to keep troops stationed in Washington, D.C., and what his plans are for Chicago. He didn’t give a direct answer. Instead, he said: “I really want to be appreciated.”

Trump: "The whole issue of the women. Comfort women. Very specifically. We talked and that was a very big problem for Korea, not for Japan. Japan was, wanted to go, they want to get on. But Korea was very stuck on that."

Apparently it takes 4 guards to keep the (very safe) Dupont Circle metro safe. I asked if they were on a break or if this is where they're stationed today.

This is where they are - nothing to do but stand there, talk, and watch work being done next to them. 🙄

Great use of $ & time - intimidation

See, before today I didn't really want to burn an American flag.

Now it's basically my duty as an American

DC doesn't use school buses; kids take public transportation. Elementary students walk from home or get driven by caregivers. Older students ride city buses and the metro.

ICE frequents bus stops and metro stations, especially Columbia Heights.

I fear for our families.

TRUMP: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.”

He’s saying it. Are you listening? 🇺🇸

Trump taking a 10% stake in Intel for the government is yet another reminder that Dems, when in power, should stop being afraid of their own shadows and do whatever the f*ck they want and not worry about political norms or rules or conventions or media name calling.

They believe they can seize control of our city.

Washington, D.C., is currently experiencing a beautiful vibe and energy tonight.

Free DC ✊

That's goddamn right

DC = 700,000 disenfranchised Americans

DC has voted, several times, for statehood

Let us have a say in our own nation

Don't let the Dems let us down again
