Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military.

Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.

Are you still talking about the BIGGEST political scandal of all-time EPSTEIN & how the president of the United States is connected to the most notorious child-sex-trafficker ever AND is covering up his own involvement???!!!

Good.

Frustrated by oil companies mysteriously withholding large amounts of royalties, North Dakota mineral owners lobbied for change. Instead, lawmakers provided an oversight program that, owners say, fails to address the issue it was created to solve.

Man....if I saw these assholes around, I'd call them losers.

He didn’t call in the national guard to stop January 6th. He is calling in the national guard to distract from the Epstein files. What changed?

bottom 20% poorer, top 10% 2.7% richer, everyone else 0.1 to 1.5% better off.

New analysis from CBO of the "Big Beautiful Bill" shows the bottom 20% get poorer, not much change for most of America, & the top 10% get meaningfully richer - and that's before tariffs

The "Big Beautiful Bill" was the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history

Senator Smith asking the right question

“I’ve lived here almost 50 years— The most violent moment was January 6th 2021 when Trump's supporters charged into the Capitol and beat cops. Trump's response to that was to pardon everyone involved.”

Those Epstein files must be wild

This Trump supporter is trying to justify a do-over census. But which administration was in power in 2020 again?!

A District Distraction... and a Dangerous Time in America Trump's creeping authoritarianism must be met with peaceful resistance; not violent confrontation

KEEP PUSHING FOR THE RELADE OF THE EPSTEIN FILES AND DON’T LET THIS ISSUE DIE!

ALSO, when we protest, we must do everything we can to stick to peaceful nonviolent protests.

After unprecedented newspaper raid, journalists remain defiant Former Marion County Record reporter Deb Gruver says, ‘No, you don't get away with this’

On this day two years ago, local cops raided the offices of the Marion County Record newspaper in Kansas for investigating the police chief. One year ago @journalist-sherman.bsky.social and I visited Marion to cover the continued fallout.

Read our Kansas Press Association Award-winning series here:

I read a report that DC crime is down to a 30 year low.

I read another report that Trump mentions in the Trump/Epstein Pedophile Report are at a 30 year high.

Graphic that reads, "If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work 1. Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. 2. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. 3. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. 4. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. 5. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. 6. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere."

Graphic that reads, "If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door 1. You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights. 2. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). 3. If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). 4. If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. 5. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. 6. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer."

Si Agentes de ICE Llegan a Su Puerta No abra la puerta, pero mantenga la calma. Tiene derechos. Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicite un intérprete si necesita uno). Si piden entrar a su casa, pregúnteles si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, dígales que se la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta). Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puede negarse a dejarlos entrar. Pídales que dejen cualquier información en su puerta. Si entran a la fuerza, no se resista. Dígale a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio. Si es arrestado, permanezca en silencio y no firme nada hasta que hable con un abogado. CONOZCA SUS DERECHOS ACLU logo

Understanding your rights can help you stay calm and advocate for yourself if approached by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or police. 🧵

UPDATE: Pete Hegseth was standing right there the entire time and not a single reporter in the White House press corps asked about him promoting the idea of women losing the right to vote.

Unbelievable stuff.

The thing about truly fighting fascists is that it's not about personal safety anymore. It's about the collective safety of the public. If we're scared of what happens to us personally if we fight back, we've already lost.

We don't fight for freedom for ourselves, we fight for freedom for all.

How many more discoveries will be made of undisclosed financial gains associated with this Shitministration?!?!

Quite right. We deserve to know why Acosta gave Epstein such a sweetheart deal.

Now Trump is using the same word in D.C. To them, “liberation” means clearing streets with troops, rounding up the vulnerable, and calling it freedom. In the United States, we don’t “liberate” our people from the government they themselves elected.

The thing about Trump sending the National Guard to the National Mall in DC, is that he's a rapist and pedophile who is trying to distract us from the Epstein files.

Logo of the Menorcan RLC with the Punisher Skull, a cross, two swords, and the phrase "Politics with values"

Facebook post from Menorcan RLC: "Please join us in congratulating our own Jessico Bowman in her new position. Starting Aug. 11, Jessico will begin her new adventure as the Trump Administration's new Deputy Chief of Staff for the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) at the U.S. Department of Labor in Washington DC. Jessico had done a great job as the National Secretary for the RLC and we expect nothing less from her in Washington. No one is better qualified or has earned more trust from all of us."

There is still plenty of interesting stuff online about her, like this Facebook post from the Menorcan (Florida) chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus with christofascist imagery glorifying violence, a lack of due process, the crusades, and ethnic heritage... what are we missing?

The rally in D.C. to protest the Trump regime’s attempted takeover of the city has begun.

And that reminds us, if you are in DC - get outside and make some noise. ✊💚

A former DOGE worker ("Big Balls") gets beaten up in DC,
and Trump sends in the military to take over the city.

But when thousands of CDC employees are targeted in a shooting,
federal buildings are attacked, and a first responder is killed...

there’s not even a statement from the White House?😡

In L.A., police nightsticks are clubbing press freedom to death | Will Bunch On Friday, LAPD cops allegedly battered and detained journalists at a protest — the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.

10 journalists were put in cuffs and/or violently assaulted by LAPD on Friday night.

@willbunch.bsky.social wrote his Sunday @inquirer.com column about what this means for press freedom nationally.

My description: “Utter lawlessness by the LAPD... they seemed thirsty to crack skulls.”

Just sayin'...

This was our view a couple hours ago at Union Station. ATF, FBI, DEA, homeland security, ICE, CBP, and police (not sure which specific departments). Seems totally unnecessary to us, but we're not the ones trying to cover up the Epstein Files.

#FuelTheFLARE

from my perspective, local and national news has been all over the CDC shooting. i think the problem is more that we as a country are desensitized and have normalized violence against health workers and children, so this low casualty attack is fading fast for folks outside the field
