When Jeffrey Epstein thinks you’re a scumbag, you must REALLY be an all-time scumbag!

Please don’t paint us with a broad brush. Many of us are truly appalled - 7 million marched last weekend - that’s not nothing.
But it’s going to take years/decades for our country to come back and earn the trust of the rest of the world - including Canada Please be there for us
And go Blue Jays!

What has been astounding to watch is how many truly evil, hateful, putrid people there are in the US. As Canadians we always thought they were slightly aligned with us and democracy. Who knew they were just hiding, waiting for their chance to break free and show their true selves. We were wrong. 😱🇨🇦

Tonight I co-hosted my very first political fundraiser for Mallory McMorrow. Overflow crowd heard her tell her story and vision for Michigan. She’s smart and authentic - exactly what our state and country need right now

We never left. Trump commands so much attention we need opportunities to come together like this to cut through.
We should do it more often!

This Canadian says “Well done America, finally the neighbours we knew are back. We missed you.” now finish him. #ElbowsUp🇨🇦

A final thought about the #NoKings event.
People were happy. They were smiling. Talking with strangers.
It took me a few minutes to recognize these behaviors because it’s been a while.
I liked it. And I missed it.

Today is a great day for America.
Not only was our #NoKings rally in Ferndale, Michigan huge, it was peaceful, positive, and patriotic. The only vitriol was focused on our leaders who don’t believe in our Constitution and only want power and wealth.
This is what makes America great!!

We’ve already got Thom Tillis and Joni Ernst out. Susan Collins is next.
Republican politicians know they’re in deep trouble and they’re torn between representing their constituents or kneeling to Trump.
The constituents will win every time if they pay attention, get off the couch, and get involved

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

The Epstein survivors hold their press conference Tuesday morning.
So get ready for the mother of all distractions Tuesday morning as well
Invasion of Chicago?
Trump’s health?
End of elections?
Something worse?

A special thank-you to Ali Velshi for his passionate rant this morning: “Where’s the party?”
Dem leadership has to stop writing letters and making statements and get off their asses to actually fight for our country.
If not, they should be replaced

The only thing Trump respects is leverage.
Governor Pritzker, you gave a great speech but do you want real leverage? How about a State takeover of that awful Trump Hotel in downtown Chicago if he sends the troops in?
That’s the Chicago way!

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

The only way we restore our country is one seat at a time - local, state, and national. We need to call out every Republican for their destructive votes. There should be no such thing as a low turnout election with the stakes so high

The Feds taking over DC is actually like a TV show production- - block the streets, coordinate the wardrobe, and follow the script. And a lot of standing around.
Remember, everything Trump does is a made for TV production

In every Congressional race, Dems should show this photo with the Republican candidate next to them in all TV ads. No Republican should escape the stench of their alignment with Trump and Epstein
Today would be a good day to release the Epstein Files.
Unredacted.
In their entirety.

I’ve consulted public radio stations for 20+ years. Currently, 10% of listeners are members. If that number rose to 20% they’d be financially independent
It’s up to us to save and support local public radio stations -it’s not hard and it’s worth it
Please support them - your community needs NPR

As traditional local media fades it’s replaced by independent outlets. We’ve decided to help them grow and have developed a very inexpensive mobile app. If you have a fave (like Distill Social) contact me - we need to help these efforts grow and increase their impact. @jacapps

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

The old guy with dementia and physical issues didn’t pay his respects to the Hortmans.
Joe Biden did instead

This is what a decent human being does. We were very lucky to have him as our president who did so much for Americans. I still can’t believe what we have now.

You wonder how/why Mamdani won? Compare this action taken with Chuck Schumer writing angry letters to Trump.
Democrats need energetic, generational change (and I’m 70). And if Ken Martin and Democratic leadership can't bring it like this every day, please kindly step aside.

This video of Zohran Mamdani confronting Tom Homan in March was the first time I ever heard about him and I was sold on the spot. This is the energy I expect from my mayor and every single elected Democrat (Video: Bill Mahoney)
