Good one!

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Their morale SHOULD be in the toilet bcuz they have lives, jobs, & families, and the tyrant in the White House ordered them to DC to pick up trash and sit on their ass. Trump did the same in LA, our troops there had nothing to do for weeks. It’s a shame. www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

The silver lining is that the American wannabe dictator is not viewed as worthy of membership in the world's dictator club.

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't know how many died W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid? RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that W: How can you be that ignorant?

Yeah he's not beating the allegations

Fascism isn’t coming. It’s right here…right f*cking NOW.

Sex abusers protecting each other.

The Republican Party is just one big child sex trafficking and sexual abuse ring at this point

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

The State of Illinois at this time has received no requests or outreach from the federal government asking if we need assistance, and we have made no requests for federal intervention.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.

I can’t stress this enough!

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Texas in 2025.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

“Trump’s rant signals his intent to use presidential power in every conceivable way he can to swing the midterm elections against Democrats. This could include ramped-up military maneuvers in Democratic strongholds or in swing areas—as well as limits on voting…” newrepublic.com/post/199202/...

Putin told him to do this. That’s a very important piece of the story. Im not kidding. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This wasn’t just a security breach, documents obtained by NPR from a hotel guest who found them on a printer revealed something even more disturbing: a planned luncheon in honor of Vladimir Putin. The menu literally read, “In honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.”

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t). I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

Over 90 pages of "Alligator Alcatraz" files disappeared as I was looking at them and reporting on the situation. Our public records requests are getting stonewalled. A slew of experts told me this all seems to be illegal. talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/th...

Ah yes, famous newsman Stephen Colbert.

Colbert isn’t the news! It’s a comedy show. It’s not in the news division.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

The story isn’t that Michael Wolff is offering the Epstein recordings for sale. Who gives a f*ck?! It’s how me makes his living. The REAL story…is that NONE of the Major Media Outlets WANT them.

Trump snaps: the Epstein friendship went south when Epstein “stole” spa workers from Mar‑a‑Lago…including Virginia Giuffre. Trump says he booted Epstein over poached staff, not sex scandal, and insists he never visited Epstein’s island. The story grows darker every hour.

Holy shit. Did Trump just admit he had a falling out with Epstein because he “stole”16 year old Virginia Giuffre from him?

Is Trump here referring to Virginia Giuffre, who was hired by Ghislaine Maxwell while working at Mar-a-Lago, and then raped and trafficked by Epstein? And is Trump more bothered that his staff were ‘stolen’ by Epstein than by the… rape and trafficking?

The White House initially claimed Trump stopped being friends with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein because Epstein was "a creep." But Trump himself now says it was because Epstein "stole" female spa workers from him, including rape victim Virginia Giuffre. The whole thing is creepy, including Trump.

Donald Trump employed Virginia Giuffre, as a minor, in his "spa" at Mar-a-Lago. Today Trump expressed his anger at Jeffrey Epstein – not for Epstein trafficking Giuffre and raping her, but because Epstein "stole" her from Trump. Dwell on these things.

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq
