Anyone else publicly explain you make decisions about whether to wear a coat based on whether a coat would make you look like a wimp? Even if you spend a lot of time contemplating your public image doesn’t it ruin the intended effect if you have a need to talk about it? I just try to understand.

Not exactly logical or accurate, but pretty much all the MAGAs have left.

Trump’s efforts to harass Omar is likely to backfire. There are racists even in Minnesota who have advanced one complaint after another and evidence never follows. This only annoys those who continue to vote for her.

New in PN: Trump wants a race war. Minnesotans won’t take the bait. "They genuinely don’t understand how whites could care for immigrant communities in their midst and they’re going to keep trying to drive a wedge. But Minnesotans will do what they do: take to the streets to protect our neighbors."

El-Sayed: "I was a junior in HS on 9/11, sitting in my chemistry class. I watched as people started to point to people of my faith & say exactly the kinds of things that Rogers was saying. If that's his entire campaign strategy, you have to imagine how small minded he thinks Michiganders are."

Show us the Epstein files now!

I wish newspapers would give some thought to their headlines. What the Times failed to indicate was that part of the bill included support for the Voter ID proposal. Some folks who see this headline or the related posts will end up deceived. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/u...

Jack Smith: “it’s inconceivable to me how you can pardon people who beat police officers… and then vilify the officers”

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Peter Thiel -mentioned in 3,000 Epstein file documents -exchanged 2,000 emails with Epstein -swapped strategies with Epstein to avoid the IRS tracking their hidden wealth.. is the guy who helped the vice-president in key moments in his career.

Americans will pay up to 95% of Trump’s chaotic tariffs. Yet Donald Trump still has zero plan to give tariff refunds back to YOU. I'm pressing Trump's top trade official for answers. You deserve to get your money back.

Dictators don't announce themselves. They just decide WHO gets to ask questions. Today it was CNN, MSNOW and Politico. "Others to follow." Read that last part again. Slowly. He. Will. NOT. Prevail.

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

What's your bet on how many times "Epstein" is mentioned at the "GOP convention". I'm betting 0 (zero).

Thomas Massie and I just introduced a discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II. The DOJ has failed to release millions of files. I’m calling on everyone in Congress to sign this petition and stand up for the survivors.

To anyone writing about or thinking about the so-called "deal" with Venezuela for its oil reserves: It's theft, an "agreement" at the barrel of a gun. Please don't sanitize it. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

It has been 283 days since the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law. Why have they yet to be release or the trials started?

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

TAPPER: You voted for Blanche. Do you think it's appropriate for the AG to be participating in a partisan political event? CASSIDY: All I saw was that little snippet. I'm going to reserve comment because I was not aware of that before this. I will say Republicans are very strong on law enforcement

Trump Has Set America, And The World, Backwards In The Fight Against The Climate Crisis........

Newsom: "That $400m Qatari plane? That's not a $400m gift. It cost you $936m. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency ... "

When Todd Blanche met with Epstein survivors last week, they said he was far more dismissive than expected. He interrupted them and told them to “get to the point.” He told them they should report to the FBI. They said they already reported the crimes repeatedly over many years.

Our America as WE know it💔

At 4:30 AM, Republicans confirmed Trump’s Attorney General: - Trump’s personal lawyer - Refused to release the Epstein Files - Pushed for a $1.8 billion slush fund for Trump allies - Gave Trump tax audit immunity - Pledged to block abortion access nationwide

Donald Trump is selling Wall Street early access to information about our economy and national security with an ultra-fast feed of his Truth Social posts for $100,000 a month. While Republicans ignore Trump's corruption, see what bipartisan market experts think about it.

Hillary Clinton lost to Barack Obama in 2008 and she stood behind him and made a difference I give credit to Haley Stevens in Michigan not wasting any time to unite behind Abdul El-Sayed It’s all about defeating the Republican political hack establishment candidate going forward !!

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

A vote to confirm Todd Blanche is a vote against justice for Epstein survivors.

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.

To be clear: Senate Republicans are caving on a deal that gives Donald Trump and his family immunity from tax audits potentially worth $100 million.

The head of Trump’s IRS told Congress he “felt good” about IRS staffing after the Trump administration fired or pushed out nearly 30,000 workers. But now, the IRS is racing to hire thousands back—while Americans wait longer for help. I’m pressing for answers.

It's ok to release a man's private diary, but not court ordered release of Epstein docs?? Explain it.

So Minnesota is now at fault for Trump’s war? We have been added to the list of bad people - Obama, Biden, nasty news ladies, and Minnesota.

Congrats to @katiephang.bsky.social for putting the pressure on Todd Blanche with her lawsuit, suing him for failing to abide by the Epstein Transparency Act. We need non-stop offense. You keep it in the news. You demand accountability. He will prolly still get the vote but GOP has to defend it.

The Fauci hearing was a disgrace. Here are some reminders of how it really went down in 2020. Never forget.

THIS 👇 HERE TOO.......

Tens of millions of Americans can't afford the basics, and they want the Washington to do something about the affordability crisis. Trump's response? Using the presidency to boost his family's crypto business. No wonder 55% of voters disapprove of Trump's crypto earnings.

My take on the Todd Blanche appointment vote. The politicians are trying to decide whether to appoint the guy who refuses to release the Epstein documents the politicians voted to have released. Some must be confused by being in this situation.

Three tough conversations recently with young academics looking for faculty jobs. Truth is, I don't expect there to be many jobs on the market until we get a change in administrations.

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

Why does it seem so surprising to some Americans that after Trump had Iran's leader assassinated, some of Iran's new leaders would suggest Trump should be assassinated? I don't defend either action, but I wonder why this should be surprising.

This Message From Former Ambassador Michael McFaul, Who Served Under President Obama, As Ambassador To Russia.......

Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."

Section 230 was written to protect online companies. What many don’t seem to understand is that this protection includes good faith moderation. So, for example, Facebook could refuse to publish posts claiming Trump actually defeated Biden in 2020. Facebook makes a conscious decision not to act.
