Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
Phillip: The final point from my conservative friends at the table. Since when are conservatives cheerleading for tax increases? Since when is it okay for one man to decide that every person in the United States has to pay a higher tax, and he never has to go through congress to do it?
Welch: The people that elected Donald Trump are the people that he's punishing the most with this stuff. And you guys, if a democratic president was doing this, would be going bananas. You guys would lose your minds.
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.
Garcia: We finally got word from the Epstein estate. They're going to be providing the actual Epstein book… the estate is actually going to actually now get us that book and a bunch of other documents that they have that's actually not been reported yet.
Garcia: This is a great ruling by the court. Of course, Donald Trump is already overreacting, saying this is going to somehow be the destruction of the United States. I'm not sure if he's aware he's trying to do that all on his own.

Jain: We have a U.S. Attorney’s Office that is also facing a vacancy crisis. And that is at least partially because the predecessor to the current U.S. Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, was Ed Martin. He fired more than 20 prosecutors whose only “crime” was prosecuting violent January 6 insurrectionists.
Stephen Miller: Secretary Kennedy has been a crown jewel of this administration
Stephen Miller: Secretary Kennedy, one of the world's foremost experts on public health, is working hard to restore the credibility of the CDC as a scientific organization committed to the scientific method
Welch: This is a guy who has redecorated the oval Marie Antoinette style and is building himself a ballroom because he has no intention of leaving.
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day
Daskalakis: I very specifically use the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy of trying to erase people

Quigley: Trump acts like a tough guy when it comes to going after some undocumented kid, but when he comes up against someone tougher than him, this president is a wimp.

Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
Newsom: This cannot be normalized. And yes so I'm highlighting some just just blatant hypocrisy. Yes, we are putting a mirror up to the lunacy that is trump's tweets and his grift.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.

Garcia: We wanted the birthday book. We wanted Alex Acosta. Republicans refused. We told them that if they chose not to subpoena or bring in Acosta or the book, then we were going to try every single thing we could—forcing votes to get these documents. And so Comer kind of agreed to our demands.
Now is the time to fill the void. Thank you @meidastouch.com for the trust.

Gupta: Here’s why this matters: 1. Because the FDA indications have changed, if I prescribe it to you, I’m opening myself up to a lawsuit. He directly signals that… 2. A pharmacist is no longer able to prescribe and administer a COVID-19 booster that doesn’t meet indications.
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Shuler: Next Monday is not just Labor Day—it’s the start of Labor Week. Marches, rallies, and trainings: hundreds of thousands of working people coming together from this coming weekend to next, kicking off the single biggest year of action from now until next Labor Day
Shuler: And when you ask the most vulnerable workers in this country—those workers still have faith in one single thing. Seventy-five percent of them say they believe in unions.
Shuler: They want to convince people that we are each other’s enemies—that we need to fight one another to land a good job, to find a home in a safe neighborhood, that only so many of us can live with dignity at the same time. But we are not each other’s enemies. We are each other’s neighbors
Shuler: Things can be different if we build real, sustained power that shows up every day—not just once every four years. Politics alone won’t fix what’s wrong, not when there are members of Congress who are more worried about their re-election than about helping working families,
Shuler: This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos, or the same broken status quo. We wanted cheaper groceries—and we got tanks in our streets. We wanted affordable health care—and instead, 16 million Americans are about to be kicked off their coverage
Shuler: If we push people to the edge—to the point where they can’t afford groceries, health insurance, or a place to call home—we can’t be surprised when they turn against the system they’re living in.
Shuler: Thirteen billionaires in one picture—four of whom now run agencies of our federal government. If you’ve ever met someone who says the word “oligarchy” is too confusing or too complicated, well, you can explain it with that one photo.
Shuler: Every year, we think about a word that captures the state of the unions at that moment—strong, rising, whatever it may be. But this year, there’s only one possible answer: The state of the unions—the state of working people in this country—is under attack.
Shuler: It’s just one more example of what I’ve heard from workers… Where is the common sense? Where are the lower costs on my groceries, my rent, my medicine? Why are my job, my family, my future, my community, the services I count on—suddenly being threatened and ripped away?
Moore: The president seems to obsessed with me. Today he called me a beauty. And when I first met him, he just talked about how I was a good looking guy.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Constituent: I've heard President Trump say more than once that he's lowered drug prices by 1500%. I'm not sure how that works
Constituent: I've heard President Trump say more than once that he's lowered drug prices by 1500%. I'm not sure how that works
Trump: People go into war and then they get their asses kicked and they lose their country, Nobody goes into a war thinking they're going to lose. I'm sure Ukraine thought they were going to win. You don’t go into a war that’s 15 times your size
Trump: Zelenskyy is not exactly innocent either.
Duffy: Mr. President, it is pretty great to celebrate labor day with a builder who loves labor, who loves the men and women who built this country, the people who sweat.. You know them very well because you worked with them. The great Trump projects
Trump: So the line is I’m a dictator, but I stop crime. A lot of people say, if that is the case I would rather have a dictator
Constituent: I wonder if you shared with Trump that Putin was the aggressor because he keeps saying that Ukraine did it. And we all saw what happened and he continues to lie and lie. Alford: I have never heard him say that Zelenskyy was the aggressor in this? I don't believe he has
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.

Bellows: The DOJ asked for the sensitive personal voter information — not just of me and Maine voters, but of every Secretary of State… Do we really want the Justice Department checking to see if you’re a Democrat or a Republican before they make a decision about who to investigate?
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
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.

Michaels: It’s fascinating to me to hear people in charge of our country say they’re listening to a convicted pedophile—someone with multiple perjury charges—and taking her word as gospel, rather than listening to the victims.

Michaels: I have not had one single invite from a conservative news outlet. I have family members saying to me, “Well, why aren’t you talking to Megyn Kelly? Why aren’t you getting out there on Fox?” They’re not asking.

New Jersey Attorney General Platkin: As I sit here today, I don’t know who is in charge of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in my state…
Trump: We’re going to be doing numbers on the cost of drugs in this country. I'm not talking about a 20% decrease, I'm talking about a 1000% decrease.
Trump: I’m going to be reducing drug prices by 1400-1500%
Trump: This is a solid gold trophy. They know how to get to me
Jordan on Ghislaine Maxwell Transcript: This confirms what we all knew: President Trump didn’t do anything wrong. This transcript confirms that. There’s nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell.
Nichols: Even though these guys come across as clowns, they're clowns with flamethrowers.. They have the machinery of government behind them. These are people that normally would be struggling to hold on to middle management jobs in a department store somewhere
Garcia: What we got was complete bullshit. We demanded the full Epstein files, and that’s not what was sent over. The White House cover-up clearly continues. What they sent us was 33,000 pages of documents that have already been in the public domain.
Warren: But right now, given what Texas has done, I say to California and Gavin Newsom, well played
Frost: On one end, we have the big ugly law. And then on the other, we have the federal government occupying our cities.. It's not two different things. It's the same damn thing. These aren't things that distract from one another. This is the thing to enable the other thing,
Warren: Oh, let me just start with it's time for the District of Columbia to be a state. We need to pass a voting rights act. And that means that everybody has access to the vote. It means no more gerrymandering anywhere. and by golly, it means DC statehood.
Warren: Donald Trump and every single Republican in Congress, including 5 Republicans right here in Nebraska voted to say we're take 10 million people, little babies, and grandmas and tell them no more care for you. That's the Republican Party, Donald Trump is building,
Warren: In September, the Republicans are gonna need to get a budget through to keep the government open. And to do that, they're gonna need some Democratic votes. You want my vote, then by golly, you can restore healthcare for 10 million Americans
Warren: He said that with a single phone call he would end the war in Ukraine. He said he would end the war in Gaza. And I think I remember him saying he would release all of the Epstein files… He promised that on day one he would lower costs for American families. We are now on day 215.
Warren: Donald Trump's America is an America where billionaires get richer—every day, hardworking families are asked to give up just a little more, so that billionaires can buy another island… I am here to say, I believe in an America that works for all of us, and we will not back down.
Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant. They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.
Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.
Frost: We just heard about 24 hours ago that the judges ruled that Alligator Alcatraz has to shut down… When you don't have all the power you want, you damn well use all the power you got
Mockler: Now, along with the on the ground movements like MoveOn, which is very important. We also have online movements that are growing, like MeidasTouch. Who here knows MeidasTouch? Everybody knows MeidasTouch. You wanna know why? It's because we are beating Fox News.

Allen: Donald Trump has been advancing the most radical, damaging agenda of any president in the modern era. He knows he’s going to face a major challenge at the polls next year, as the House of Representatives—unfortunately controlled by Republicans—has done nothing to stand up to him…
Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty? Ferguson: Yes Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview. Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking. Rangappa: Then why on Earth would you believe anything she said?
Dominick: You live at the top of bullshit mountain
Garcia: So this release today is meant to distract from the broader question of why Pam Bondi and Donald Trump refused to release the full Epstein files.
MAGA supporters wearing jeans celebrating Sydney Sweeney and what it means to be hot
Ingraham: Their take is of course she was going to say this because she wants a pardon, she wanted better digs, and she got transferred, and you say? *Camera cuts out*
Maxwell: And as far as I'm concerned President Trump was always very cordial and very kind to me. And I just want to say that I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming the president now. And I like him, and I've always liked him.

Kamlager-Dove: The midterms are about running on your record. And why is it that they are so afraid of their record that Trump is calling folks—governors—to say, “Find me votes”?
Conway: Are hey withholding documents that might refer to him or things that are embarrassing to him and producing documents that refer to other people in order to distract and I wouldn't put it past them that they would do that.
Conway: I think she had every reason to downplay any involvement that Donald Trump had in anything she was involved with.. I think the real question is, what's in the documents that they haven't produced?
Reporter: The DOJ is sending the Epstein files to Oversight Trump: You have a lot of people that could be mentioned in those files that don't deserve to be because he knew everybody in Palm Beach. The whole Epstein thing is a democrat hoax
