Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
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.
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
Today's a federal holiday because on the eve of the 20th century machinists, carpenters, and people who worked in mills, mines, and factories joined together to fight for better wages and a day to honor working people. If you're enjoying the holiday today, thank the labor movement.
When our working families are strong, Minnesota is strong. That’s why we’ve established paid leave, expanded the right to collectively bargain, and why we’re investing in the projects creating the union jobs of the future. Happy Labor Day, Minnesota.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
You guys see where this is going? Right?
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
EU Chief Von der Leyen's plane was hit by alleged Russian GPS jamming. Authorities in Bulgaria have determined that the incident, which affected the plane’s navigation system, was likely initiated by Russia. Meanwhile, Trump is a friend of Putin, who would not mind if the EU chief's plane crashed.
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Rhode Island passed a law banning mandatory anti-union employee meetings. Union-busting law firm Littler Mendelson held a webinar for employers about the law. And they essentially told employers... to break the law! We got the transcript and the PowerPoint: prospect.org/justice/2025...

If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.

He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
If Trump keeps avoiding the public like this somebody's gonna have to write a book about Biden's health.

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.

I’m looking forward to watching Lame Duck Ron Desantis’s attempts to gain traction to revive his dead end political career as a private citizen using money he has to raise himself rather than pissing away taxpayer funds and abusing govt power.
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.

No notes
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
Honoring an insurrectionist traitor. The rot does deep.
Pay attention, Canada. If Alberta is successful in this book banning, this will spread. Look around you, b/c this is how it starts. We're on the same ledge the US was on. And we either start fighting this right-wing rise now, or we follow the Americans over the edge. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
