It’s past time for the ‘very concerned’ Susan Collins to retire from the Senate. Several Maine Democrats are considering taking her on, including Graham Platner, a progressive oysterman and combat veteran who supports universal healthcare, raising the minimum wage and strengthening unions.
Russian fascists are brainwashing and training children taken from occupied Ukraine to die for Russia in the war against their own homeland, and eventually against the rest of Europe.
Well yes but….. If she can/does she will only release those that suit her purposes not an entire list or context. She is the #QueenofHarpies the most unpleasant of people.
While Starmer struggles with a broken system in Westminster, real power keeps leaking elsewhere | Rafael Behr
Imagine the pressure Trump is now putting on Hegseth to top this. Trump doesn't know or care about military readiness, but he's very concerned with spectacle and how things look on TV. His pitiful parade is now a source of shame for him, whereas most of us are ashamed that he had that parade at all.
Russia’s meddling with foreign elections sure is paying off in Europe as well as America
"On August 30, Valery Gerasimov, chief of the general staff, gave a triumphalist report on the Russian army’s summer successes. It was dismissed as dramatically inflated even by Russia’s own war-hawk 'milbloggers.'" www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-emba...
Host: There are new calls this morning for RFK Jr.'s resignation, and those calls coming from inside HHS itself. More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released this morning. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"
“Donald Trump has figured out the cheat code for authoritarianism: Fake emergencies bring real power,” @rosenzweigp.bsky.social argues. Yet more troubling is the lack of effort from Congress or the courts to curtail the use of such “emergency” powers:
Even if they release it, it will be doctored
Republicans wanted full transparency on Epstein right up until the moment Trump told them it was a hoax and they should forget the whole thing. Then they dutifully complied, since their fear of Trump takes precedence over all other considerations. Predators over victims.

Militarizing immigration courts would shred due process. Military lawyers aren’t trained in asylum law, aren’t independent of the Pentagon, and would blur civilian–military lines. It risks unfair deportations, constitutional violations, and international backlash.

Exactly!
Lauren Boebert in 2023: “Colorado is the one and only home the Space Command has ever known and it will remain that way!”
I like this idea 👏
The Trump admin is now moving to effectively double the number of immigration judges by citing flimsy legal authority to deputize hundreds of totally inexperienced military lawyers to take these jobs. Notably, immigration law is infamously complex, often described as second only to tax law.
And no sanctions
We studied how Elon Musk shifts Grok’s politics to mirror his own. Sometimes it works, like when Grok changed overnight from saying disinformation was the worst threat to humanity to claiming it was birth rate decline instead. Other times, Grok is harder to influence: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/t...
Former British intelligence officer and author of the now infamous Steele Dossier Christopher Steele joins us on The Oz Katerji Show tonight as we dive into his dossier and the High Court case he won against the US President, and what he makes of the Trump-Putin summit.
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Putin is running rings around Trump, it’s embarrassing.
Corporate executives who defraud nursing homes? Pardoned. Reality TV stars who evade millions in taxes? Pardoned. Thousands of January 6th rioters? Pardoned. Anyone who opposes Trump? Prosecuted.
Says it all really I couldn’t imagine being an American atm
Too little too late He hasn’t been fairly elected for years
President Donald Trump's family made as much as $5 billion with the launch of a new cryptocurrency token, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal on Monday evening.
#CDC directors going back to 1977 tell the truth about #RFKJr: he is endangering the health of every American. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
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.
Happy Labor Day!
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
No 💩

Yes. Center politics are too slow to read the room Look what happened with Trump
Exactly
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
From @levparnas.bsky.social "Once again, the nightly attacks on Ukraine—families killed, cities burning—barely make a headline. But what truly stopped me cold was the near-total silence about what is happening right now on the other side of the world." levremembers.substack.com/p/breaking-d...
James Stroud, who is one of at least 21 FEMA employees, put on leave after signing a letter criticizing Trump’s disaster preparedness, discusses the culture of fear within the agency. “One thing that is underreported is the day to day agony and humiliation we’ve been suffering this whole time.”
Child murderer and his buddies 🤮

“I have faith in people outside of government. The professional organizations, doctors, nurses, and other providers—and also the parents…So I’m hopeful in that sense. I’m just not necessarily hopeful that the federal government is going to be the answer anymore…” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
What a joke ‘ Ukrainian Mafia’
This is bribery plain and simple. Those Wells Fargo executives should be prosecuted and so should Trump. Taking a bribe is as illegal as offering a bribe. 😠
This👇. I’m sure it would work a treat.
Putin has arrived in China for an unusually long visit. Analysts believe he will coordinate positions on the war in Ukraine during meetings with Xi Jinping.
Nothing out of the ordinary here 🤔

We all knew this was coming, he tried last time but this time he has the whole government structure behind him.
I think this is the chilling fact that the western world faces
I seriously doubt we'll be able to trust these numbers in the future.
Today in the casual media normalization of lawless personalist authoritarianism
After every mass shooting. 😡
The SCOTUS structure has always been a joke Lifetime gig Appointed by administration Openly bias judges, remind me of the definition of a judge Accepting gifts Relationships and social interactions with those they are judging What could go wrong
They have all made fortunes on the back of insider knowledge of when Trump is likely to do things that will push the Stock Market or individual stocks up or down

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.
‘Racist as hell’: Trump’s cabinet is almost all white, and he keeps firing Black officials
Former Speaker of Ukraine’s Parliament Andriy Parubiy was shot dead in Lviv today. The attacker, disguised as a Glovo courier on an e-bike, fired 8 shots and fled. President Zelensky called it a “horrific murder” and vowed a full investigation as security services hunt the suspect.
Just caught up this this. Wild. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦 US administration’s neutral response to the Russian attack comes despite the public pleas from European allies who insisted that Russia’s onslaught is more than tit-for-tat, - Politico There is a clear disconnect about the prospects for peace in the near term.
The Trump Media board member who led the SPAC merger, Eric Swider, just reported dumping another 5,000 shares.
At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He hasn't done squat to help working people. The Epstein scandal haunts him. He's a tyrant with his back against the wall, so he and his cronies are rigging elections in Texas. Understand what's going on here.
"The firing of Monarez is part of a larger effort by Trump, his Cabinet and his aides to consolidate power inside the executive branch and at its margins. In many cases, the targets are experts in their fields, people Trump appointed himself or both." www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
Yes it’s like ’Russia Today’ was before it was banned. GB News is in the uk is dreadful too, I cannot understand how OFCOM lets them get away with it.
Orban is an illegitimate leader, if he allowed fair elections and his personal palace would be history. How can Hungary still be an equal member of the EU without free and fair elections
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
I hear that!
