The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Tom Homan reportedly accepted $50,000 stuffed into a takeout bag from undercover F.B.I. agents. We must continue to ask where the money went, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.

This sounds familiar.

Disgusting vile racist comments

Some of these stories are difficult to read, but it’s important that as many people as possible know what is happening. We are 100% living in a police state. SHARE widely. mdavis19881.substack.com/p/reddit-thr...

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Appalling: JB Pritzker tells me he hasn't been able to get a single conversation with Kristi Noem or any other top Trump officials to even discuss their Chicago operations. Pritzker just wants a heads up for logistical purposes. Nada. Pritzker opens up on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2016...

For the fourth time in eight days, Pope Leo has taken direct aim at Donald Trump's abuse of migrants in the United States. In a new letter sent to Catholic Charities USA, he calls immigrants to the United States “witnesses of hope” and encourages Catholics to do all we can to welcome them.

TODAY: A trump appointed judge hands his whole ass back to him, trump considers pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, SCOTUS tells Laura Loomer to take a hike, and there's no evidence NYAG Tish James committed mortgage fraud. Free to listen! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Thrilled to see the AZ Hispanic Chamber of Commerce’s latest DATOS report on the strong economic contributions of Arizona’s Latino community — $72B in buying power and 30% of AZ's population driving growth across our state.

Mike Johnson says he'll swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social as soon as she wants. Okay, so how about today?

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Rocky Horror aficionados used to attend screenings of the film over and over to take notes on the details. Accurately mirroring every line and dance move has gotten easier over time.

“The bravery and determination of ordinary Moldovans cannot be overstated. Putin has suffered a bad defeat. We do know that time and again, even when threatened, bribed and bullied, Europeans affirm their desire to be in Europe, not in the Russkiy Mir.” open.substack.com/pub/nickcohe...

An ICE officer was “relieved of his duties” and is under investigation after he shoved an Ecuadorean woman whose husband had been arrested and pushed her to the floor at an immigration courthouse in Manhattan, the Department of Homeland Security said on Friday. nyti.ms/46EMKYP

Joshua Citarella launched “Doomscroll” as what he has called a “tactical media experiment,” designed to create a “new pipeline” to funnel politically curious young people toward leftist ideas instead of the right-wing media ecosystem.

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

In 1984, the mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap satirized heavy metal bands. Now the characters are back for a sequel, Spinal Tap II. Reiner says "they have grown neither emotionally or musically."

Trump called republicans and threatened them not to sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files saying he would consider it a "hostile act" against him.

"Orbán is not popular in his own country. A lot of his staying power is inertia, which has given rise to a feeling in Hungary that he is inevitable. Yet things in Hungary have started to move...Perhaps the time has come for something new to emerge out of the old." www.thebulwark.com/p/hungary-co...

It'll be on South Park tonight, I'll bet.

SPOTTED: Mobile billboards driving around D.C. demanding federal agents take their masks off — because public servants should face the public. Go follow @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social!

ht: @mattgertz.bsky.social 1. MPD seeks warrant to arrest GOP congressman for allegedly assaulting a 27-year-old woman. 2. Trump-appointed US Attorney's office refuses to sign it. 3. Trump takes over MPD. 4. MPD says investigation is closed. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.

Rep. Nancy Mace—the receipts are on her face. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #BelieveTheVictims

Why are federal agents covering their face? What are they hiding? Public servants should face the public! @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social has a mobile billboard driving around D.C. demanding that federal agents take their masks off. Check it out!

Rep. Jim McGovern: "Republicans are terrified because the president doesn't want to release all the Epstein files after promising that he would release them during the campaign ... What are they trying to hide?"

Least surprising headline ever.

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

South Park continued their war on MAGA this week. This stuff has to be driving Trump crazy right now.

I'm united with Governor Hobbs, Senators Kelly & Gallego, and Rep. Ansari in demanding the EPA deliver what was promised.

$156M in Solar for All funding = ✔️ Lower utility bills ✔️ Clean energy jobs ✔️ Solar for tribal & rural communities Trump’s decision to gut it is a betrayal of Arizona families.

Today: Anti-Trump protesters marched in Washington, all the way to the White House—peaceful, defiant, rejecting his occupation of D.C.

JUST IN: DC Circuit's most senior active GOP appointee, Henderson (GHWBush), forcefully rejects Trump administration lockdown of federal spending data. 3-0 ruling to restore by Friday. Wilkins (Clinton) joins opinion. Garcia (Biden) doesn't. w/@kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

FLASHBACK: Jeffrey Epstein pleaded the Fifth when asked if he and Trump ever socialized with girls under 18. That speaks volumes.

Join @katiephang.bsky.social and me as we discuss my lawsuit against DoJ for Epstein materials!

This message is powerful.

South Park skewered President Trump. Stephen Colbert isn't holding back. This week, comedians on Paramount-owned shows aired their grievances against both their parent company and Trump.
