From my old yearbook. We'll see!
REPUBLICAN @repthomasmassie & DEMOCRAT @rokhanna.bsky.social are holding a bipartisan news conference on Wednesday with 10 victims of Epstein demanding the House vote on the files Speaker Johnson has been avoiding. www.foxnews.com/politics/kha...
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
MAINE!!!!! LET’S GO!
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.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
The victim was identified as Keontae. He managed to escape and called his mom from a cornfield an hour away. Thankfully, he did not suffer serious physical injuries, but local leaders say the emotional scars are already heavy—mistrust, fear, and trauma. 4/4 www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...
Mary Shelley wrote an entire book trying to warn us about extremely arrogant nerds who create things irresponsibly and take no accountability for them for when they wreck society, by the way.
Netflix co-founder, Reed Hastings, has given $2 million dollars to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaign’s outsize stakes. This is to counter Texas’ GOP gerrymandering with a new map designed to oust California Republicans. Let’s do this!! 🔥
For people asking about the 600 number, that appears to have come from the original CNN report — www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p... — and was in the complaint. But, per the DOJ's status reports, it appears only 76 children were involved in today's stopped flight(s). As such, they are being returned to ORR.
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
CNN: “250+ news outlets from over 70 countries will simultaneously black out their front pages and website homepages, and interrupt their broadcasting to condemn the murder of journalists by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.” www.cnn.com/2025/08/31/m...
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social )
On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
😀

KOH: “Trump Stripped 1 million workers’ bargaining rights while plastering his face on the Labor Dept… Closed miner health clinics… Cut $2.4 Billion from youth & senior job programs… This is the real story of Trump & Labor.” #LaborDay
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet
The country is being run by drug addicts, reality tv stars and fox news hosts.
Shoutout to everyone who can disappear for a few days and the entire world isn't praying that you died!.
Veterans against Trump‼️ 💯 Absolutely Correct
We are winning out of sheer anger. NOT because of any leadership shown by the house or senate Dems. Why are the Democrats approval in the 20% range because 80% of Democrats hate that there is no backbone. A few congressmen and Gavin Newsom are standing up. Quit bitching at Velshi and get to work.
The world is moving on without Trump.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Does pushing India closer to China and Russia make America great again? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/w...
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
California stepping up.
NEW COUNTDOWN PODCAST DROPS AT MIDNIGHT: The "Trump is dead/ sick/ had surgery/ was struck mute" rumor is entirely HIS fault Come up with a STORY. This guy hasn't STFU voluntarily since 1946
A BBQ place in OKC has this big Trump mural outside next to the parking lot. It keeps getting defaced. Last night someone spray painted the word PEDO under Trump's face. I think these are the restaurant owners/workers removing the graffiti.
It’s great to see President Biden doing well and warmly greeted by The People while leaving church. I miss his grace, decency, and compassionate leadership. You will always be the President of my heart and the architect of my path. May God bless and protect you and your family, Mr. President.🇺🇸
She’s a sick, attention getting whore.
This is fantastic. Every single artist should be saying something similar before every single performance. They have loud voices that Rachel a lot of people, and it’s time to use them.
If we don’t stand up for these victims, who will ?
I like the rebrand.
Evil has a name Russia is committing the genocide of #Ukrainians. Russia strikes our cities, kills peaceful people, kills children. It steals hundreds and thousands of Ukrainian children, tortures captured Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, consistently breaks the laws of war, murders,rapes,steals⤵️
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Free advice for the administration: If you want to stop the Trump health coverage, maybe stop posting verifiably old videos and keeping him as far away from cameras as humanly possible
Along with the Epstein files, we need to keep this 600 children they tried to deport to Guatamala in the news, and not let it die. No one can defend this. These aren't criminals; they are orphaned kids as young as 7 years old. This is 100% Nazi stuff.

He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.

Deal!
Yeah we are already screwed and will remain so as long as that moron remains in power.

Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
We keep seeing this exact gaslighting over and over — @RepJohnRose & Sexton also said this to NC5 $1 TRILLION in Medicaid cuts only impacting people who *shouldn’t be on it* + “waste/fraud/abuse” is nonsense Also: if all this fraud exists, why 0 arrests?
Russians are pigs. A few years ago they loaded a body with explosives and waited for a priest to go to the body and then detonated… they have no boundaries, no floor, no moral code.
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Trump at his golf club today. He hid from the public for days and won’t let the press pool near him.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.
Cashing in Putin’s checks.
Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.
AP: “When Trump awarded a contract for $1.2 billion for 🇺🇸’s largest immigration detention complex, it handed it to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small biz with no experience… its address a modest home in suburban Virginia.”🤔 Golden Age of Corruption. apnews.com/article/trum...
Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Welch: He claims that he's the law and order president. But we all know that's a lie because he's a convicted felon. He pardons convicted felons, he surrounds himself with obsequious people that kiss his all day, every day

Happy Labor Day President Biden!!! Miss you and love you!!! 🥰
Newsom rattling poor Johny boy

CHICAGO…
“…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...
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
Over 300 MILLION American citizen's files stolen by DOGE. Why can't 1 person with access steal the EPSTEIN Files? #LEAKtheEPSTEIN_Files
One of JD Vance’s political influencers argues that whites have a higher IQ than Blacks and has endorsed returning to slavery. His name is Curtis Yarvin. When Vance becomes POTUS (and he will), you’ll hear the name more often.
Gavin Newsom is exactly right, Trump is doing everything we told you he would do and more. It's time to wake the hell up, America. Authoritarianism is here.

Last January, a source shared evidence with me that DOGE was installing devices on govt servers to upload data to the cloud. Some hosts were FOREIGN. On Friday, a whistleblower resigned and came forward to share the same. Listen to what we found in January: www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...
gosh I wonder why they fired this bro
This part. Everyone should be taking notes from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social’s @mizzwelch.bsky.social
Trump wants you to forget Epstein. Or at least, trust the lady whose been convicted of the crime. My latest adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/maxwell-th...
“A 14% price increase” When Trump & @MarshaBlackburn tell you there has been no inflation, they’re lying
The Dems are saved! 🙃🤦🏻♂️ Somebody help this man. A party’s need for new leadership has never been more obvious.
“.. The Oval Office photos don’t resolve those questions. They raise them. And until the press decides to treat Trump’s health the way it treated Biden’s, makeup and memos will remain the White House’s first—and last—line of defense.” @passantino.bsky.social www.status.news/p/trump-heal...
Biden’s was fit for his age! Meanwhile the orange turd can barely wobble out of his golf cart!
"Biden’s age was an ongoing story even while he otherwise governed like a normal person, but so far the media has not even considered a connection between Trump’s disordered actions and his health." Jake Tapper, are you catching any of this?
A collection of clips from MSNBC of multiple Republicans getting booed at town halls this week.
They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.
“These policies have horrifically impacted people in rural America that vote for them because they weaponize their faith and lure them in.” - @mizzwelch.bsky.social
TRUMP IS AMERICA’S BIGGEST LOSER.
Better start planting and canning MaGATs
“.. Roberson predicted produce prices could rise 50% to 100% by early next year due to tariffs and deporting agricultural workers.” @waiterich.bsky.social @fortune.com #CPI fortune.com/2025/08/28/t...
And what Yarvin fails to envision is the human component that after xxx time or xxx repression we RISE UP! We have hope, inspiration, imagination— all which that “geek” lacks and we shall persevere! There are more of us than them! America was built on freaking revolution it is in our blood.
I read that theory somewhere before this election, that he was the pawn in a bigger scheme to overthrow the country.
CAP ECON: “We obviously have no particular insight into whether the Supreme Court will uphold .. If it did, “Treasury would .. need to return most of the now-close to $100bn in additional customs duties .. and there is a danger .. other countries would back-track on any preliminary agreements.”
