Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security blasted The New York Times on Monday for its reporting on a migrant who was convicted of murder in 1996 and recently deported to Africa.

The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.

President Donald Trump went into a long and confused rant about "crazy" women who spit on "good-looking" men while describing his plan for expanding the use of state mental institutions to lock up homeless people.
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.

The United States is now Putin's deportation partner. Russian political refugees who sought safety in the U.S. are being returned on charter flights. Upon return, they face hours-long interrogations by security services. 🧵Here's what is known about the latest flight:

The chaos at the CDC in the wake of last week’s firing of its Director and the resignations of four senior officials is fallout from the latest skirmish in RFK Jr.’s war against vaccines. Make no mistake, RFK Jr. is working hard to take away your vaccines, if he can. Here’s a progress report.
It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.

After news that Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a crash Saturday night in New Hampshire, President Donald Trump said the former New York City mayor would receive the nation's highest civilian honor.
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller diagnosed with Parkinson's disease
Fuck you, Mr. Chief Justice. History will see you as a villainous, complicit monster who actively facilitated the end of democracy.
Unions are the backbone of our economy. We should be doing all we can to lift them up—not ending collective bargaining for 1 million American workers like Trump did. On Labor Day and always, Democrats will keep fighting for middle class families—not Mar-a-Lago billionaires.
RFK Jr. is "like the guy you never wanted to have to partner with in science class. He thought he knew the answers and he's ultimately the guy who would light his hair on fire, and now he's lighting all of HHS on fire," says Michigan Senate candidate Dr. @abdulelsayed.bsky.social.
Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

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.
On Labor Day and every day it’s important to recognize that whilst fascist republicans attack blue cities and blue states for their monstrous hateful neo-Nazi goals, red states rely on/leech off of blue states to literally keep their own economies from dying.
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.
Right-wing Daily Caller just released a transcript of an interview they did with Trump last week. This was part of it.

I think it's time to discuss the 25th Amendment.
The USA has screwed up so badly by decimating the US relationship with India because of Trump’s childish, destructive ego, that the state department is now in the process of grovelling. In the end the US will probably cave, as it has with China.
They aren't getting paid by Russia unlike rightwing "influencers." I don't have a problem with folks on the left finally getting some support so they can fight back. This shit isn't free when you commit to it as more than a full time job.
“Stop talking about that time we did a insurrection”
Donald Trump's narcissistic personality disorder took quite a jolt last week.
It’s right here folks, in plain sight! “Trump Named in Jeffrey Epstein Files, Justice Department Confirms” WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO CONFIRM? Just run with THAT!
They never said.
Rudy Giuliani has been injured in a car accident in New Hampshire. Giuliani's vehicle was struck from behind at "high speed" on Saturday. He "was diagnosed with a fractured thoracic vertebrae, multiple lacerations and contusions, as well as injuries to his left arm and lower leg."

JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
Trump claims he saved the Olympics and implies these cities also need the National Guard: Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Baltimore.
Donald Trump attempted what appeared to be a defense of embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr on Monday morning by making demands of drug companies to turn over information that the president claims he has already seen.

Facebook statement (auto translated) from Piotr Szczerek, who snatched the hat from the kid at the tennis match. Szczerek apologizes and claims he believed the hat was being passed to him. The CEO also claims any previous statements that have been credited to him are not his.
This Labor Day, thank a union. Our nation’s workers have better wages, stronger benefits, and safer working conditions because of them.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
What is going on here?
Have a peaceful Labor Day.👇
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...
Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.

In July, Florida Republicans launched the brutal “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention center deep in the Florida Everglades. But less than two months later, the camp is being dismantled by DHS and emptied of detainees after a district judge ruled that it violated federal environmental law.

Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
Completely agree. A new Tea Party that focuses on freedom, democracy, pluralism, the Constitution, the rule of law, and basic human decency. This new Tea Party would be the antithesis of today’s Republican Party.👇
Donald Trump thinks he can control all aspects of American life, including free market interest rates.
Happy Labor Day! Today, we honor the hard work and advocacy of all those who’ve fought for workers’ rights and secured better pay, benefits, and working conditions for countless Americans. Will continue to stand with workers and all those who fight for progress.

Trump wants us to stop focusing on the bad parts of slavery. Wrote about how we tend not to focus on one of the worst parts—sweeping, horrific sexual violence. Christofascist patriarchs don’t want to talk about that, for obvious reasons. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/slavery-wa...
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
There are people in public life clearly and accurately stating the danger to America at this bizarre moment. Those people need support from every Conservative and Liberal American who find our Constitution worth preserving.

It’s a tough Labor Day with Trump’s assault on public workers and labor rights but the union movement is tough and America overwhelmingly supports the right to organize and bargain.
A prominent historian warned on Sunday that President Donald Trump has created a situation much worse than what the country faced during the Watergate scandal of the 1970s.
