Oh, the irony. Trump seeks to reband his "big beautiful bill" that increases government spending by trillions to give the wealthy tax breaks as a "working families" tax plan even though it kicks working class people off Medicaid. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
This won't be the last. Fed's dangerous ineptitude will force blue states to band together for a variety of health and other safety net alliances/coalitions.
Three key states are teaming up to form a health alliance: CA, OR, and WA, to protect their people from the quackery being pushed by RFK Jr., Trump's Sec. Of Health and Human Services. apnews.com/article/cdc-...

Thou Shalt Release The Damn Epstein Files!
We can be forcefully removed from our vehicles and homes. We can be beaten and kidnapped. We can be imprisoned and subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. We can be left to rot, with no accountability once We are dead. This is considered acceptable now? Do We accept this?

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers
Which Cabinet position would the GOP have confirmed Jefferey Epstein for in Trump's Cabinet if he were still alive? My tentative vote goes to the Secretary of the Department of Education.
Indeed.
This one is pretty over the top..... AND I LOVE IT!! Coincidentally, I just rewatched "Star Trek: Into Darkness" where Khan crashes a Starship in San Fran, trying to destroy Starfleet HQ π

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
I'm creating short workbooks, some are free, others $1, that help people with a small financial issue, like how to be frugal while shopping for back-to-school supplies. But rather than me guessing what you want, tell me. I'll do my best to create a free workbook for you if there is enough interest.

Until the GOP no longer controls the White House and Congress, I agree. But even after that, things will be difficult for many in the US because the oligarchs and wealthy are buying up all the assets. We need new laws that protect people, not corporations.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
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.

If it wasn't bad enough that half of our Congress votes against the people they serve, when they finally come back to work after their month-long recess, they are expected to shut down the government. The good news is that they don't do anything for us anyway. apnews.com/article/cong...
Kristi Noem has been caught in another lie. Nothing new here.
Yes, that was likely overstated. But more of the truth is likely to emerge from some of the media outlets that do not offend the legacy media owners.

No, he doesn't. However, Los Angeles residents and visitors find ways to express their thoughts.
Government spending is at an all-time high, while government services are lacking in critical areas in all federal agencies, except ICE. ICE is out of control, kidnapping people who are here legally, using legal procedures to remain in the US. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1qI...
His grave will become the worlds largest bathroom
This is just sad. Weβve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
If they do that, I suspect at some pont GAZA will return to rubble.
Maybe. But it will be competing with his star in Hollywood. π
Wrong. Right. Indifferent. Doesn't matter. Trump's death will be a worldwide celebration. And the countdown has already begun.

Trumpβs cabinet sends letters begging the court not to βembarrassβ them if they lost the tariff case. Think about that: It's not about being right, not law, not justice. It's about optics. @meidascanada.ca @meidastouch.com youtu.be/QtQ0PLgxR8g?...
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
Noem's comedic chops are failing her. Trump made the situation far worse in Los Angeles by exacerbating mistrust, fear, and hatred.
Dead, alive, hiding β doesnβt matter. Release the Epstein files.
Because the Trump Regime can't govern, we are forced to endure their lame attempts at comedy. It's pathetic.
Yep! And the truth will finally emerge when the legacy media is no longer too afraid to write it.
Gary has snoozed in some truly beautiful places.
Emmer does remember why he did not vote for the Safer Communities Act because the $261,530 he received from Gun Rights advocates is clouding his memory. He chose money over children. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks
The President lacks the authority to demand all votes be verified by Voter ID because the states control voting, but when has that ever stopped wannabe Dictator Donald Dimwit from pronouncing new edicts for the relm? www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

In recent public remarks about deploying the National Guard to Chicago, Donald Trump said: βI have the right to do ANYTHING I want to do. Iβm the president of the United States.β Not even a King has that right. Certainly no president. Who knew a non-drinker could be so drunk with power?

She'll likely have both.
All we can do is continue to share the truth. Some will eventually come around because the GOP leaders have shown they don't care about them at all. If they cared, they wouldn't have confirmed RFK Jr., who is promoting quackery, not science. People will soon die because of this.
Trump exposes himself as the petty tyrant we all know he is by cancelling Kamala Harris's secret service protection. But Gavin Newsom, has her back. The CHP will protect her.
When Donald does finally die, whatβs the first thing you will do?
There is still beauty in the world. (Monsanto, Portugal π· unknown.)
If we manage to get through Trump's term in office, with our constitution still intact, we will have our federal court district and appellate court judges to thank for it. www.npr.org/2025/08/30/g...
Israel killed the Houthi Prime Minister in an air strike. Israel has become a war-mongering state. Yemen was one of the first Arab countries to recognize the State of Palestine in 1988, and has since maintained a strong stance in support of Palestinian rights. www.npr.org/2025/08/30/n...
People vote for what's in their self-interest. It's remarkable that anyone still votes GOP, since they now serve only the top 5% or so of Americans. We just need to find a way to help voters in GOP areas see what's in their self-interest and convince them to vote that way.

We'll be able to convert enough of them by helping them see that the Democrats are the ones serving their own self-interests that the ones who stay stuck with hatred as their agenda will eventually become marginalized.

What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, youβre right, thatβs the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
What they fail to realize is that their kids become liberals. π So keep breeding.
Indeed. We should never forget that Biden worked to the point of exhaustion to try to help the American people, and the thanks he received was to be mocked by idiotic legacy media seeking to please their puppet masters.
If any people need representation at the UN, it is the Palestinians. They're being starved to death, their hospitals are being bombed, and journalists who seek to report on these atrocities are killed during bombings. And so the Trump regime denied them VISAS. www.axios.com/2025/08/29/u...
