"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
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.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
Word is Trump already has covert forces tucked away in Greenland. Think about that. While Americans are arguing over gas prices...he’s planting the seeds of a shadow empire on ice...proving Project 2025 isn’t just domestic. It’s global...and it’s moving fast.
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.
Been in a funk today but couldn't figure out why, then it dawned on me that I dropped off my first grader at school and returned home to news that someone else's children were murdered at school because a majority of federal lawmakers are morally bankrupt cowards

Jeff is 100% right that the New York Times is trivializing both itself and the crisis in our country.
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
It’s always so easy to laugh at this, but it’s not funny. For 3hrs today, grown men & women all took turns getting down on their knees, fellating their dear leader. In front of the cameras. It’s sad. It’s gross. It’s North Korea. It shouldn’t happen here.

“I’m about to lose my farm… Do you think we’re idiots? You know nothing about what a working class citizen does.” 🔥 Whew. Watch. Share.
So far during Trump's 2nd term, the DOJ has fired or demoted more than two dozen prosecutors who were assigned to hold January 6th insurrectionists accountable. They were fired for doing their jobs and protecting our democracy. That's outrageous.
Where are all the corporate media headlines demanding his resignation? Where are the all the assumptions that about specialists visiting the White House meaning the president is dying? They did this daily with Biden. Why not now? Are they covering for their cash cow? Are they paid to cover it up?
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

I was in the news business for only 4 decades, so maybe I don't know much. But it seems like the transformation of the U.S. into a police state would be worth a headline and a few paragraphs.
Stop talking about this like it is news and do something, anything to stop what is clearly their goal….to destroy it for thrir own benefit.

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

Judge Xinis: Your clients are *absolutely forbidden* from removing Mr. Abrego from the continental United States. You understand this? DOJ: Yes.
Major media once thought a Trump dictatorship was impossible, so they didn't warn the public about it. Major media now see the dictatorship arriving, so they're afraid to warn the public about it.

New Feds say that plea negotiations with Kilmar Abrego Garcia have been ongoing for nearly six weeks, claiming their actions weren't "sinister and coercive." Their 5-page motion never denies using Uganda as leverage. www.allrisenews.com/p/kilmar-abr...
Welker to Lavrov: "Here are the facts. Close to 50,000 civilians have either been killed or injured in this war. Russia has hit maternity wards, churches, schools, hospitals, a kindergarten just this week. So either the Russian military has terrible aim or you are targeting civilians. Which is it?"
The lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, Maurene Comey, was fired 8 days before her interview with Deputy AG Todd Blanche on July 24-25, 2025. There was no official announcement or explanation. It's funny how careers end right before the questions begin.

The Pentagon is blocking Ukraine from using long-range missiles to hit Russian military targets. No wonder Putin still thinks he can win the war www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Getting Republicans out is the the only answer …. all of them in Congress.
This is leadership.
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
NEW: The government has offered Mr. Abrego deportation to Costa Rica if he pleads guilty, and threatened deportation Uganda if he does not. According to his lawyers in a new filing, that violates his 5th Amendment due process rights. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-govern...
I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers. I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.

Because Ghislane would never lie to protect the man who can have her killed?? It’s time the victims band together and start talking and naming names. There is strength in numbers
If Trump pardons convicted child rapist Gislane Maxwell, they will absolutely officially be the pedophile defender party. The fact that this is even being considered is sickening. She also has been moved to a nice min security prison, a club Fed, ALREADY
YES! Scream this from the rooftops.
The Maxwell interview is to the Epstein Files what the Barr Memo was to the Mueller investigation.
A couple of interesting things about the Ghislaine Maxwell/Todd Blanche audio recording: it's not one continuous recording. It's broken up into 7 parts on day one, and 4 parts on day two. Further, Todd Blanche says he spoke to Maxwell off the record for several minutes before the recording. 1/
The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
Talk to Cindy McCain….she said they all knew.
@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker and a liar. She cannot be trusted... Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's personal lawyer before he became deputy AG. His arranging of this deposition, his then moving her to a less secure facility, we're not going to be tricked by this."

“That's the real question ... 'Are they withholding documents that might refer to [Donald Trump], or things that are embarrassing to him, and producing documents that refer to other people in order to distract?' I wouldn't put it past them.”
It’s all about sending a message. The raid is the message. It’s all about retribution. He is the retribution president. As with troops on our streets, it’s all about normalizing fascism. This is fascism. Fascism is here. Too many Americans are too “busy” to care. But it’s here.
This is where we are in this country. Normally an FBI search on a figure such as John Bolton would elicit shock and speculation about what he did. Now the first speculation is, there’s something bogus and political afoot.

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."
"I think [Ghislaine Maxwell] 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?”
