"They were so angry at inflation they couldn't see the Communist through his spray tan." The GOP is a circle jerk of perversion.

Virginia Giuffre should have turned 42 this year, but her life was stolen by predators who preyed on her as a child and as a teen. She was brave, resilient and gave other survivors hope. We honor her spirit, her fight and demand justice for every victim of trafficking. social.demcast.com/s/WEVRrXIk
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
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.
Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/tragedy-br...
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.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
So, it's not Denise's fault she voted for a rapist, but I ended a 30-year friendship not realizing how dangerously stupid she was.

Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
This Labor Day, remember that Black Americans are the most overworked and underpaid group.
They already had the kids loaded onto the planes,hoping to leave without US citizens knowing . . .right on brand for this POS.
❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
Welp! There’s a BOOK that affirms it all. It’s not a conspiracy theory. No way. It’s a CONSPIRACY. READ IT.
1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
I suggest folks pick a handful of candidates and causes they feel strongly about and support the people and organizations doing the heaviest lifting to save democracy. This includes Dem candidates in every state, Democracy Docket, Meidas group, and all indi journalists and NPs helping immigrants.
Mueller can't testify because he has had Parkinsons for years tho we are just learning of it.
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
A mom who is a legal US citizen gets separated from her family by ICE GOONS after getting back home from a family vacation.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Watch what Don Jr does with his left hand. This needs to be streaming inside the Capitol, Senate chamber, House chamber, and hologrammed across the White House and Department of Homeland Security.

The epicenter of the 6.0 magnitude temblor struck near the Afghan-Pakistan border, and the death toll is expected to rise.
This vile administration tried to deport children, in the middle of the night, to Guatemala. CHILDREN!
THIS! Is the plain spoken truth telling I was posting about the other day here, the sort that everyone from White House press corps reporters to the person on the street needs to see, here and say. Quite an excellent op-ed. Coudn't have written it better myself! @velshimsnbc.bsky.social
Our story on the stakes of the CDC leadership collapse is above the fold on the Sunday front page www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
DC area folks — this non-partisan rally in solidarity with survivors exploited by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is happening Wed morning if you want to support.
If I were in DC, I’d be here
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
Judge Chutkan ruled May 27, 2025, that Elon Musk and DOGE lack legal authority—Musk isn’t Senate-confirmed, and DOGE was never authorized by Congress. A lawsuit seeks to end DOGE and reverse its actions. www.axios.com/2025/05/28/l...
Amen!
If we don’t stand up for these victims, who will ?
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
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…
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
Ghislaine Maxwell's deposition was not under oath. She was not video taped, which is very unusual for a deposition. And there are many cuts where they stopped the audio tapes so lawyers could confer with her off-the-record. None of that stuff is the way you do a deposition.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
“The future of our party is going to be decided by who steps up and fights for this moment” @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social says as Democratic voters press their leaders to fight Trump. “And then, by the way, when we take back power, we need a party who is not afraid to use it.” #Velshi
"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."

“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
Now do 47.
A gold-plated power palace, he will never leave alive.
We all know Trump’s strategy is to try and overwhelm people so they’ll unplug and he can complete his power grab. Here’s how to fight back. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
It should be that way. But let's be honest. It's not the job it used to be. It now requires a 24/7 security plan in 2 locations for all family members who will be boxed. To counter the attacks, they do need our additonal support today. Financially, morally, physically.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
GoP is a cult of amnesia.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
Trump’s targeting of Fed. Gov. Lisa Cook is a “chilling message,” writes fmr. Fed. Chair & Biden Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen. “Express disagreement with the president’s views and you are next.” Yellen joins me @ 12pET on the economic consequences of Trump’s bids to bend the Fed. to his political will
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
All kidding aside, suffering from both leprosy & syphilis at 79 is no joke, but I am sure whatever cure RFKjr is mixing up will get him back on the golf course in no time.
We were taught to fear communism & socialism but Christian Nationalism wasn’t even on the radar. Genius.
I hope he is reading how many people are hoping he’s gone for good
#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good morning, friends! Keep smiling and have a great weekend. We won’t let the bad guys win. I’m going to see Bernie after our protest on Labor Day!!!

Punks for Progress was definitely not a traditional campaign event, but maybe “tradition” doesn’t matter. Maybe the way we’ve been doing things isn’t inherently the right way. Thank you for building a new type of politics with us.
Crackpot RFK Jr. illegally fired the Senate approved CDC Director who can only be removed by rapist crackpot Trump directly.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
He’s trying to get her killed…

Thank you. I left and wholly denounce this GOP for its corruption and perversion of our Democracy and rule of law. As a registered Democrat it is sad to see the in party sabatoge, on top of out of party attacks when it is the Democratic party infrastructure that is our opportunity to drive change.
It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family's ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Karoline Leavitt is a complicit big stinky C among a maga mouthed mosh pitt of big stinky Cs enough for Jesus to walk on water right over their unsalvational souls.
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.
The national news will move on, but Minnesota will not.

He’s the Vice President of the United States. He could actually *do* something about this instead of just play pretend games.
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
ICE agents in DC today appear to be focusing on the North Capitol Street corridor. One is wearing a Texas-themed hat and a “thin blue line” patch that says SEND ME. Again: Keep an eye out for an unmarked black Ford truck with the Texas plate NTV9211.
🚨ICE agents are racially profiling and arresting Hispanic drivers in the DC area today, targeting work vehicles like trucks and vans. A friend who was targeted sent me video today. Here’s a picture that shows one of two agents before he pulled on his mask. Unmarked black Ford truck, plate: NTV9211.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
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.
A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”
I was the executive director of U.S. Open Data, a non-profit that I created at the behest of the Obama White House. I worked as one of the nation's leading experts in open data. Putting open data on the blockchain is a profoundly stupid idea that fails nearly every test of good open data.
