Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 24%. Millions live paycheck to paycheck as they struggle to afford basic goods. Is it any wonder why 70% of people said they believe the American dream no longer holds true or never did? www.wsj.com/economy/wsj-...
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Trump on the cover of French magazine Le Point. Translation: “Man from Moscow” Le Point is a major French weekly news magazine. It is considered a center-right / conservative-leaning publication.
look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens
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.
Car crash fails to kill Rudy Giuliani.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

"Sure, I could double check that Raddatz is with CBS, or I could just go fold the laundry."
To be able to say things like this with a straight face, you have to know with certainty that you are talking to babies
"Other siding" is deadly!!!
Raddatz knows better. Worse than ignorance is militant, deliberate, feigned ignorance. That’s evil.
Or sleeping in piles by the Porta potties.
So crimes are down by some %? If the week before the NG was deployed there were 4 muggings, and then there were 2, that's a 50% drop. But the NG isn't in crime-filled areas, so maybe that was because it rained. Talking heads aren't analysts.
Not true. The NG has spread onto strategic deployment of mulch.
Here's the problem. They list stolen cars as "carjackings." It's not the fucking same thing!!! The journalists need to do a way better job in fact finding.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
And when they say *they* are protecting the country from the people who want to destroy it, they are engaging in pure psychological projection.
They're releasing the Epstein files?
This is never going away, is it?
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
And the police defending the Capitol.

They believe in eugenics and technofasicsm
Veterans are oversold as a bloc. Some are extremely proud of what they did, others saw it as a job like any other, some would rather forget it. But the vast majority took the oath seriously, and not doing so offends them. I would hammer that Babbitt is getting a military funeral. Hammer it.
This is like if “the female orgasm is a myth” were a photo.
Trump news at a glance: CDC chief was fired for resisting vaccine changes that ‘flew in the face of science’
I analyzed and did interviews on Trump’s Putin and European meetings. Discussed all the details and manipulations. Then realized there was a deeper truth: Trump has absolutely no clue what he is doing. joecirincione.substack.com/p/the-idioti...
Artem Morozov hoped that the war in Ukraine would end on his 16th birthday, when President Trump welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Instead, Russia killed Artem and his entire family.
Press coverage can leave the impression that the hunger is an organic disaster. But famine is easily preventable, and this one has been orchestrated with the increasing complicity of the United States.
I was wrong about Trump before I was right about Trump.
My Democrats!!! Wes Moore looking to strengthen Democratic Party seats in Maryland and eliminate the one Republican seat. I am here for it!
Frost: Trump traveled this nation and lied to everyone, told people the reason you can't pay your rent is because of that trans kid . The reason that you can't afford your healthcare is because of that immigrant. They want us to look at each other and blame our neighbors instead of blaming them.
Newsom's social media game is good and is clearly getting under the president's skin. That's fine. Let him cook. The presidential election is 3+ years and a very active democrat primary away. I really doubt he'll be the candidate. Let the GOP waste their energy and money on him.
Is anyone surprised???
GOP Rep. Nancy Mace was reportedly forced to cancel a Thursday speech after nearly no one bothered to show up.
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
The U.S. has quietly implemented a review process giving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authority to bar Ukrainian long-range strikes inside Russia with American missiles, effectively blocking strikes for months, the Wall Street Journal reported on Aug. 23.
Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.
BREAKING: The California Assembly has passed a bill to put Governor Gavin Newsom’s redistricting plan on the November 4 ballot.
Who is fighting harder to protect America: Gavin Newsom or Trump?
Gov. Newsom has right on his side. #Resist #Unite #VoteThemAllOut #ReleaseEpsteinFiles
Gavin Newsom winding Trump up
Warren: But right now, given what Texas has done, I say to California and Gavin Newsom, well played
Gov. Newsom: These guys aren't screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It's all at stake.
Gavin Newsom: "We're gonna punch these sons of b*tches in the mouth."
Governor Newsom signed a deal with Denmark. Has Taco signed any deals? Kissing Putin’s @$$ is not a Deal! #newsom #denmark
Gavin Newsom responds to Trump’s late-night post about him
📌Gavin Newsom continues his hot streak ....
Newsom is winning… 🤭😂🤣 #SheShed
Newsom ain't playing!
Newsom clowns Will Cain 🤡
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
#WSJ & #Reuters want you to believe Trump “won” his fraud case. He didn’t. The fraud finding stands, the shackles remain, and the money fight just moved upstairs. #uspolitics open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...
i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo
Hal for NY reporting 👇👇👇
He makes a good point!
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Slavery. Wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it goes. IT WAS BAD, YOU DUMB FUCKS.
No truer words were spoken. We have to fight fire with fire - and it might be too late, but we have to stop playing nice because we're having our asses handed to us. ENOUGH!
Can we stop using the word "deport" incorrectly? He isn't Ugandan.
Or his lawyer & he stay at a hotel. He needs to have representation at all times.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is guilty of ONE thing. The uproar surrounding his detainment exposed the Trump Administration’s barbarism and now they think of him as a whistleblower, unwitting but still a threat.
this is not a deportation, they are disappearing him
Supreme Court justices often spar in opinions, but Justice Jackson’s plain critique of her conservative colleagues is striking.
Just look at the FBI’s raid on John Bolton’s house right after he criticized Trump over Russia. Cough cough Krasnov.
Criticize Trump, and the FBI shows up at your door wrapped in the excuse of “no one is above the law.” For all his rants about others weaponizing the system, it seems weaponization is the only thing he knows how to do.
Nice work, Trump voters.
I wrote this days after Trump was sworn in. Reposting now. The pro-democracy movement will not survive four years of Trump if its members cannot or will not stand up and do their work. The steps I have outlined are essential if that movement is to thrive. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...
The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
"Some of the posts are funny. But that’s not the point. The point is to show how deranged this style of communication really is; we’ve all just been conditioned into accepting Trump’s defining deviancy down." Today's Morning Shots w/ @avecruth.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:
Donald Trump is embarked on a race war. That underlies his whole philosophy. He's far less guarded about that now. He's openly making racist comments & going after our history. However ugly, we must never allow revisionists to erase our history. Only the truth can set us free. youtu.be/6Qp5AZZ-N2A
Gavin Newsom responds to Fox's Dana Perino melting down over his tweets:
I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Silence in the face of oppression is not an option. The U.S. Attorney General asked for a response by today. So here it is…Stop attacking our cities to hide your administration's failures.”
Like most bullies, Trump can be constrained only if everyone stands up to his bullying. Protest. Go to town halls. Protect the vulnerable in your community. Keep speaking out. The fight against authoritarianism will take all of us — and we can't relent.
If these rules were in place 2 years ago (when I was deciding if I should leave Canada for the US), I absolutely would NOT have come to the US. Just on principle. I suspect the same is true for MANY international scientists & scholars. Presumably this is why these new rules are being put in place
Wildfire smoke far more dangerous to health than thought, say scientists. Deaths from short-term exposure to fine particulates spewed by forest fires underestimated by 93%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

By the time we get to Nov. 2026, Trump will have federal agents and the national guard in many, if not most, blue cities.
Yaasss 👏👏👏
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
So Texas GOP want to force Dems to have police escort them around 24/7 like prisoners. One Dem refused to sign the permission slip and she’s locked inside the building? wtf is happening in that state?
Would it kill national democrats to do some solidarity on issues and moments like this? Think outside the box, for once.
As if by mutual agreement between the White House and its haters, the sandwich attack has become a symbol of President Donald Trump’s militarized takeover of D.C.’s police. www.huffpost.com/entry/dc-san...
The core sadness and patheticness of Donald Trump would be really fascinating if he wasn’t destroying democracy worldwide to feed his ego.
