🚨Speaking truth to power in Atlanta, Georgia! This man is spot on. We see you, Atlanta!🚨
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
ETTD
Happy Labor Day to all the workers in our country, including those who are retired. You have made a difference in so many lives and I hope you realize that! 💙🩷💙 #Pinks #ProudBlue
Unafraid to speak truth to power, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics Dr. Susan Kressly joins @vinguptamd.bsky.social on Meidas Health for a powerful discussion on truth, conviction, and her deep commitment to ensuring optimal childhood health for the nation amid chaos at the CDC.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
So very true 👍.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
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.
This is why Covid blew up in Trump’s first term. Trump didn’t listen to experts. Now RFK and his brain worm are making ass backward decisions without consulting doctors and scientists. RFK is not a doctor. He’s a former drug and sex addict. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AbgyySmI1Qc6...
‼️ Finnish schools integrate media literacy to teach students how to recognize misinformation, fake news, and propaganda from an early age. This is a core part of their education system, with skills like critical thinking, fact-checking, and source evaluation. 👇 www.theguardian.com/world/2020/j...
The GOP is preparing to change Senate rules to make it easier to adopt Trump’s agenda and confirm nominees. Good thing Manchin and Sinema “preserved democracy” with their performative bullshit. Dems have to quit holding themselves to standards the GOP won’t meet.
That’s simple, actually. They aren’t going after research and healthcare specifically - they’re going after data and verifiable facts period. The entire goal is to keep people dumb and afraid. It’s been their goal to force us into a post-fact society for a long time, and they’re close.
Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it. We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
Washington state: 9000 acres burnt, 2 months of fire/ only 10% controlled. Many fire fighters answered the emergency call, and ICE did not find a better moment to control the immigration status of these people. Many were migrants, native Americans. Meanwhile, people lost their homes and woods.
In the video below, Gov. Newsom details pointedly and candidly why Trump is serious about a third term. The audience laughs at first, but then, you can hear a pin drop when he gets serious about it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Watch!!⬇️ #DefendersofDemocracy ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
I couldn't agree more!
Republicans have forced schools to stop teaching about slavery because it's too traumatizing for children. But watching their friends get shot to death at school is apparently the price of freedom. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
She was a criminal and now they are giving her the honors of an American hero at the same time that the Republicans in the House refuse to hang a plaque honoring the hundreds of Capitol Police that defended them. Just disgusting. thehill.com/policy/defen...
#BlueSkyVets Listen, I’m not trying to sway anybody’s position on our society - I’m just stating the facts as I understand it… Since Trump has been in office everyday is staged chaos to make us all weary and afraid. How’s that going for ya? #RESIST #ProudBlueVets #DemsUnited #DemVoice1
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
🚨BREAKING: Arizona Court of Appeals REJECTS right wing challenge to Arizona's signature matching process. Another VICTORY for my law firm's clients and the voters of Arizona. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...
Thank you for all that you do.
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
When Guns have more freedoms than people, all we are left with is guns and spent rounds, not a speck of life to detect, even your own. This is what the NRA gifts America, more dead children in a church praying to god for help, only to find a bull it from a bully!

"It's clearly punitive": Attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Simon Sandoval Moshenberg, explains how the Trump administration is using the threat of deportation as leverage in their criminal prosecution of Abrego Garcia.
Burgum is a hack. He knows ZERO about wind farm energy, construction of it, and marine species. Wind energy is here and it will be built - fossil fuel extraction from the ocean is dangerous, destroys marine life and the ocean floor, and is environmentally unsound! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #Pinks
Facts
I joined Nicolle Wallace to discuss how Trump’s use of military in D.C. and other blue cities could affect the outcome of the 2026 elections, as well as the FBI’s investigation into John Bolton as a tool of weaponization. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9yj...
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
She's exactly right.
You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.
Send the military to a grocery store to lower our costs. Not the Georgetown Lululemon.
Eli Crane’s priorities? Cutting food aid, attacking health care, and voting against emergency support. Mine? Building, protecting, and delivering for rural Arizona.
What you missed overnight night.🥳 Utah's gerrymandered congressional map was struck down. The judge reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
BREAKING: Fed Governor Lisa Cook just now after Trump tried to fire her: “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign and will continue my work to support the U.S. economy”
🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
There is a group of Veterans starting a Sit-In in DC at the Union Station protesting the National Guard occupation. Its starting small (10 initially) but is expected to grow into the hundreds. youtube.com/shorts/lRiM4...
Every single illegal trick this admin does should be a court case. How about violations of the emoluments clause. No profiting off the office of the presidency. Plane, crypto, bonds, WTF!
Jesus fucking Christ….🫤
Gym Jordan is going to be deposed soon in the case, because the students refused the settlement. It is going to trial. If you haven’t seen “Surviving Ohio State”, See it on HBO. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
DiSabato: Jim Jordan knew that Dr. Strauss was performing unnecessary genital exams. And he absolutely knew that Dr. Strauss was taking showers with us on a daily basis.. He knows that because he was there with us. Jim took showers with us.
"The president was never inappropriate with anyone." Pardon me if I don't consider Ghislaine Maxwell, someone who used to prowl Middle Schools looking for young girls to rape, an expert on what's appropriate behavior.
May we be able to answer this with displays of all the ways we fought back. 💪 We have so much more to do. #Resist #Pinks #ProudBlue

This man is an expert on looking the other way on sex abuse incidents. I absolutely cannot believe they brought this guy on to talk about this subject. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
🚨 Mayor Wu faces criminal charges because she is decent. We all know what ⏰ it is. Of course you are going after a female POC first. She is a “suspicious person” in 2025.
"Hey, we need a Republican to talk about how totally believable it is that an eyewitness to sexual assaults now insists they never saw anything wrong -- who should we get?"

This shit is not acceptable.
Trump is demanding government stakes in U.S. companies and cuts of their revenue. Experts see some similarities to state-managed capitalism in other parts of the world www.nytimes.com/2025/08/23/b...
🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
The other thing we can (and should) do right now is start planning to vote as many Republicans out of office as humanly possible. Every state and local election. Midterms, etc. They’re all must wins. Then we can start limiting the damage that’s being done.
If you’re trying to make it harder for people to vote, stop pretending to give a shit about democracy. Every American - regardless of their political views - deserves to have their voice heard.
I'm planning a celebration... he's such a sleaze bag...
go.bsky.app/U86Zqny New starter pack for Thursday morning!! Hope you all find some amazing new friends!!
Listen to @voteannjohnson.bsky.social call out republicans for their blatant racism against minority communities in Texas. @texasdemocrats.bsky.social served up a #CupOfJoe with strength & truth. Let them be examples for other states. “This is about racism!”
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
💯
It is ridiculous that this is concerning to republicans. The real concerning stuff is not being discussed.
America's drug dealers, child sex traffickers and serial killers have a special message for Donald Trump:
President Stubb about the amount of Ukrainian territory Russia wants: The best way to explain its that if you take the relative land mass of what Russia wants right now from 🇺🇦,it would be a little bit like you giving up Florida,Georgia,S.Carolina,N.Carolina,even Virginia,then bumping into Maryland
The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice has escalated its demand for access to Maine’s voter registration records, now requesting that election officials turn over unredacted copies of voter rolls and every voter registration application submitted in the past 18 months.
#ProudBlue Our country has been taken over by a #convictedfelon who is surrounded by sycophants who are helping him to carry out his agenda of retribution. He wasn’t fit to serve as president the first time he made it to the White House. A fascist now resides in the People’s House of the 🇺🇸
Someone needs to explain the Budapest memorandum to this stupid motherfucker. Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons at our urging. We gave them our word we would be there for them if it ever backfired. Now we’re throwing them under the bus. We are the villains in this story.
Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
Brown: In a state of 12 million people, half a million are going to lose their insurance. People didn’t vote for that. They didn’t vote for higher grocery bills. They didn’t vote for veterans’ benefits being slashed. They didn’t vote for any of this.
NEW: A Senate investigation led by Sen. Jon Ossoff found more than 500 credible reports of abuses in ICE custody, including alleged mistreatment of pregnant women and children. @dell.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/senate...
By the time we get to Nov. 2026, Trump will have federal agents and the national guard in many, if not most, blue cities.
Mississippi is now the fourth state to send armed National Guard troops to D.C. under the guise of a nonexistent “emergency.” This is a hostile takeover of an American city by a fascist regime composed of white supremacists, Christian nationalists and billionaires. We must unite to save democracy.
Ditto.
🚨BREAKING: Texas Republicans advanced their mid-decade gerrymander Monday, as a House committee voted, 12-8, to send the measure to the full chamber for consideration. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
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.
Can’t believe this is the USA.

"Noem has also been particular about the service on the Coast Guard planes. In one incident, she and her staff grew irritated when a weighted blanket she often uses on trips was not provided to her, an issue that was “escalated” within the service..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
In other words: They lied.
