CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social )
KOH: āTrump Stripped 1 million workersā bargaining rights while plastering his face on the Labor Deptā¦ Closed miner health clinicsā¦ Cut $2.4 Billion from youth & senior job programsā¦ This is the real story of Trump & Labor.ā #LaborDay
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 todayās Republican Party.š
The bleak honesty of this image just absolutely breaks my heart
A federal district judge issued a temporary restraining order after the U.S. attempted to deport hundreds of unaccompanied Guatemalan children without proper immigration proceedings.
Ummmmm, this seems like it's a damn big deal.
This is starting to feel even more suspicious www.aol.com/jd-vance-fle...
I've already said: War crimes, clearly. But if every instance of large and indiscriminate civilian casualties is "genocide," the word will have less meaning and world leaders will be more reluctant to use it than they already are.
I wasnāt super convinced that something was seriously wrong with Trump until he tweeted this
"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."
āI look forward to watching the videos of soldiers entering Chicago.ā Our Founders would be sickened by todayās Republican Party. Anyone who believes in freedom and supports the Constitution should be sickened by todayās Republican Party.š
Resign now!
NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...
DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administrationās effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children āare in the process of being removed" today.
"Newsom is saying two things. First, weāre not going to let Republicans play by different rules anymore. And second, we are going to use our power however we can, no matter what The New York Times editorial board says about it." trib.al/SpzgHnV
I can't believe that this is who we have become. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
āYou cannot pretend as if he did not try and stay in power the last time he lost an election. That actually happened.ā Abby Phillip & @mizzwelch.bsky.social refuse to let the Republicans on the panel pretend Trump is not a threat to our democracy. šŗšø
The media needs to stop calling this an āimmigration crackdown.ā Thatās not what Trumpās doing. Heās using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: theyāre not backing down.

She'll get @chuckschumer.com to write a strongly worded letter.
Oh so he's not being charged with flag burning and won't be going away for a year? How embarrassing for Donald!
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
Gavin Newsom responds to a completely fake Vanity Fair cover being spread by MAGA, who think it is real
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned as director of the National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the CDC, shares he learned the childhood and adult immunization schedules for COVID-19 were changed from a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, while in a leadership meeting.
"I realize the last two weeks have seemed interminable. But you havenāt seen anything yet. Weāve got three and a half years left under the best-case scenario. In the worst case our present condition will persist indefinitely."
No clever posts will make a school shooting better No words are sufficient to comfort families of the victims, or excuse the failure of our government to act There is only the will to prevent future bloodshed Or the cowardice of remaining subservient to the NRA-and watching more children die
Trumpās ICE goons now literally arresting firefighters. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
A bunch fucking weirdos who worship a weirdo-in-chief with orange makeup.
Pay attention to this.š
"Acosta took what was a prepared, 60-count federal indictment that could have landed Epstein in prison for the rest of this life many times over, and turned it into the sweetest plea bargain in the world." Rep. Raskin previews why congressional Democrats are so eager to hear from Alex Acosta.
All those red states citizens are going to pay for their National Guard members to pick up the trash in DC instead of preparing to help them during hurricane season Well done MAGA
On @cnn.com AC360 I shared that Trump's targeting of officials who disagree with him could not be more transparent Cook. James. Schiff. Dugan. McIver. This is more like a police state than the United States, which is why Cook & the other cases will draw judicial skepticism
Psaki: "If you have to keep telling people you arenāt a dictator, maybe your actions are getting a little dictator-y."
Wow. When I first read about this I assumed this was an anonymous letter. But turns out they had the courage to sign their names to it knowing the consequences of a highly vindictive Trump. Lots of respect.
"Some of you may be concerned that this resembles socialism, but donāt worry. Itās not. This is nationalism. Socialism is only what you get when you open five municipally-owned grocery stores in New York City."
Virginia Giuffre was one of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's most outspoken accusers. Six months after her death, Giuffre's book detailing her life will be published.
I always thought attending a Christian church was supposed to be about Jesus. Turns out itās about Cracker Barrel.
This perfectly describes both the Trump presidency and the Republican Congress. The only true thing he said today.
President Trump balked when asked whether he would send National Guard troops to Republican-led cities with high crime rates: āSure, but there arenāt that many of them." Of the 30 U.S. cities with the highest number of violent crimes, more than half were in certifiably red states. trib.al/WEcfqPk
Iām betting the beans this happens with sandwich guy, too.
Trump is going to great lengths to hide that right hand.
Heās saying it out loud.
Trump is doing that thing where he signs executive orders after one of his aides explains what they are
Hey America -
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on fascism in šŗšø : āThere is not safety in keeping your head downā¦ People who oppose public policy decisions but are too afraid of retribution from their government to speak their mind should send a chill down all of our spines.ā
Bill Maher calls it a āslow-moving coupā and predicts Trump will use the army heās amassing in D.C. to maintain power even if the Democrats win.
š
8 weeks at Quantico instead of 18, and no Bachelorās degree. 8 weeks.
So the administration is officially and proudly lowering standards for the FBI, but also punishing universities for allegedly lowering standards in admissions, is that right? Just trying to keep up!
Even Fox suspects Ghislaine Maxwell, who is seeking a pardon, may not be entirely credible: āThat last little tidbit where she said she never saw any bad behavior from any of these menā¦ā š¤
The whole Maxwell interview feels staged, especially with how aggressively itās being pushed. Something doesnāt add up, if Clinton and Trump are supposedly innocent and no list exists, then why not release the full unredacted files?
hello I have an important question for all the physicians and cosmetologists on this website namely WTAF???
Iām sure DOJ/DHS will say that circumstances changed after Judge Crenshaw ordered Abrego released from criminal custody and after Judge Xinis ordered that he be returned to supervised release in Maryland. But the shell game is so obvious.
š„ STEWART: āThis is the lie they tell you ā that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefitā¦. That government intervention for corporations is our āFREE MARKETā, but government intervention for workers is āSOCIALISMā.
Trump long ago established that heās a racist to the bone. He and his father wouldnāt rent to Black people. He said, āLaziness is a trait in Blacks.ā He said some white supremacists in Charlottesville were āvery fine people.ā We donāt talk about it enough. trib.al/ePTQc5A
āLady Justice is supposed to be blind. Right now, sheās wearing a MAGA hat,ā says Ian Bassin on the Trump FBI searching the home and office of top Trump critic John Bolton. George Conway joins Chris Hayes, too.
Career professionals who lead crucial units throughout the military and key positions in DOJ are being replaced by hyper-partisan loyalists willing to put Trump over the Constitution.
Trumpās tweets now just seem like boring less funny versions of Newsomās imitations The cover band is better than the original band
Once again, a problem that could be solved with universal healthcare
Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. (Published April w/ @sltrib.com)
New WaPo poll: 79% of DC residents oppose Trump's takeover of DC police and dispatching of national guard. 80% of blacks and 67% of Hispanics oppose it, too.
NELLIS: āThere are fewer cops on the street because of the Trump/Republican budget.ā @tomilahrentv.bsky.social : āI thought it was the left that wanted to defund the police.ā @mikenellis.bsky.social : āSome on āthe leftā did. But Trump actually did it.ā LAHREN: āā¦..ā š¬
Not only did Trump oppress and intimidate the residents of Washington DC, but he managed to hurt local businesses, too.
I only wish I knew Because I thought he was done as soon as he came down the escalator, spouting racist lies about Mexicans
The White House might as well just start directly writing South Park episodes for Trey Parker and Matt Stone Because it sure looks like that's what they're doing anyway
At this point you MUST conclude that Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files Prominently Otherwise the documents wouldāve already been made public
An executive order isnāt a law.
Trump: "I worked with your friend Bibi...He's a war hero. I guess I am, too. Nobody cares, but I am too."
#NewHampshire 's craft beer industry has over 100 licensed breweries across the state and, in 2023 alone, these breweries produced 124,118 barrels of craft beer, contributing a staggering $457 million to the state's economy. Here are some can't-miss breweries to try.
Awkward š
Take a moment and listen to this. Marc Maron is spot on here.š
Before his summit with Putin last week, President Trump made his goal clear: āI wonāt be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire." Then, he told reporters, sitting beside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, āI donāt think you need a ceasefire." trib.al/t5e6bly
Trump on DC: "Did you see what's happening with the restaurants? They're bursting" (The exact opposite is in fact true)
I quit watching Morning Joe in 2016ā¦
ASIDE: every single Democrat that signed a PERMISSION SLIP to be able to leave their office and go home is a fucking coward. Fascism didnt even have to put up a FIGHT to take over the US for good.
You should be following @geauxgabrielle.bsky.social
New in PN: Don't listen to centrist Democrats about crime "The right response to Trumpās authoritarianism isnāt to say 'maybe he has a point.' Itās to attack him and his allies for their dishonesty, their thuggishness, and their failures. Thatās how Democrats avoid looking weak."
RT sharing videos of tanks with Russian & American flagsā¦ š
There are NEVER consequences Trump always gives Putin what he wants Ukraine has been fighting two foes since January 20-Russia and the presidentās ambivalence Trumpās meeting today with Zelensky takes place after Putinās bombs killed MORE civilians I fear a replay of āyou donāt have the cardsā
Adams: There are a lot of people involved in the administration who criticize pharma, but have no problem promoting ivermectin and supplements. So itās a little disingenuous to say those people are grifters but then say you should trust us, even though we profited off these unvalidated remedies
Hey MAGA, if youāre outraged by a male cheerleader, wait until I tell you that Donald Trumpās name is in the Epstein files and now heās refusing to release them.
You know how the victims of Soviet show trials still pledged their loyalty to the government that was killing them?
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Wake the fuck up to what's going on in this country... We're going to put everything on the damn line... People haven't given up yet. We're going to do this. We can win this November. We can win next November, and then we can get this country back on track."
Itās really wild that Fox is calling Newsomās tweets immature and unbecoming of a leader when heās literally just mocking the way Trump tweets. š¤£š¤£š¤£

Tin soldiers and Trump are coming Weāre finally on our own This summer I hear the drummingā¦
On Tuesday, White House officials laid out detailed plans to eliminate Smithsonian exhibits that they determined represented āimproper ideology." This heavy-handed revision of U.S. history has elicited comparisons among staffers to 1930s Germany. trib.al/rRPOSM1
This is absolutely perfect.
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
speaks volumesā¦ this wonāt stop with Ukraineā¦
Pathetic
