Trump is once again weaponizing government power for revenge. Schiff, James, and Cook are the latest targets—dragged into “fraud” investigations pulled straight from Trump’s enemies list. This isn’t justice. It’s political retribution. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/selective-...
Rep. Nadler, you're a mensch. Thank you for your leadership, your selflessness, and your decades of service to New Yorkers. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/02/j...

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:
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.
ICE detains green card holder—days after she passed citizenship exam. She was awaiting the official ceremony—when agents tricked her into coming in for appointment—only to arrest her. She and her husband have owned their Los Angeles balloon shop together for almost 20 years.
BREAKING: Trump announces that Rudy Giuliani will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Note that Giuliani has been charged with felonies in two different states, including racketeering and has been found liable for over $100 million in damages.

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
In 7 months, Trump has taken the world's most powerful nation and turned it into a train wreck, inviting both our allies and our adversaries to reshape the world based on our irrelevance.
"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Good grief. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-r...
"Every one of these people is taking with them skills and knowledge that will be difficult to replace. But there may be no single individual whose departure better captures what is being lost and destroyed than Demetre Daskalakis."

Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But let’s be clear: workers built this country—not billionaires. (1/2)
Everyday at 8 PM, DC residents in a moment of solidarity do nightly porch protest against Trump’s takeover.

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
She’s a singular sensation!
"Another picture emerged: that of small businesses being harmed by a president who was elected because of his purported business acumen; of a man whose obsession with appearing tough on crime now threatens to sabotage urban economies across the country."

State Rep. Justin Jones (TN): We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school.

Due to the overwhelming cost of the 800 number, the Immigration Hearing Help Hotline had to switch to a local number: 213-787-6211 Help is available in English and in Spanish. Broadcast this far and wide! Immigrants should NOT go to court; they may be able to handle their appointments online!

Fuck yeah, Gov Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. It will be fascinating what happens when ICE agents get arrested for flouting this.
MAGA cowardice has become a familiar sight across America. They know Americans are growing angrier each day because of their destructive policies, incompetent governance, and want them out of power. Watch JD Vance try to avoid protesters in Wisconsin. Keep forcing them to see us, America! 🔥
Crenshaw Heckled About Trump, Epstein Files At Bonkers Town Hall
5 things Trump did this week 1. Threatened ABC & NBC 2. Took credit for defeating new Cracker Barrel logo 3. Had his tariffs invalidated by an appeals court 4. No public appearance for multiple days 5. Went on another taxpayer-funded golf trip
On a serious note, he looks like shit. Why is he so swollen?
Getting dragged away for asking questions continues. / This time in Miami-Dade🧵
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
American federalism goes to work. As RFK Jr. heads down the road of more measles, more COVID-19 and more flu, public health states must develop our own strategies to stay safe.
With all that's in the news recently, focus has shifted away from the EPSTEIN FILES EPSTEIN FILES EPSTEIN FILES. This is exactly what the felon wants. Don't forget he's desperately trying to hide the truth that he is in the EPSTEIN FILES.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders has called for a special Senate committee hearing on the CDC crisis, demanding that RFK Jr. testify under oath about the disaster he’s created.
Quigley: Trump acts like a tough guy when it comes to going after some undocumented kid, but when he comes up against someone tougher than him, this president is a wimp.
BREAKING: Appeals court finds Trump’s sweeping tariffs unconstitutional but leaves them in place for now.
Jan Carey is charged with lighting a fire in an undesignated area and in a manner causing damage to real property or park resources — Class "B" misdemeanors, typically resolved in D.C. with a small fine, per this story. He called Trump's executive order bluff.
Memphis, Houston, and Kansas City all have more violent crime than DC, but the National Guard isn’t there because they’re in red states. It’s a show of force and, more so, a distraction. Trump wants us talking about anything other than his collapsing health and Jeffrey Epstein.
The sitting President of the United States raped children and he’s in no danger of being held accountable for it.
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...
I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...

Capitol Police Betrayed Again (w. Michael Fanone)
There are more guns than people in the US. Another deadly school shooting and all some politicians offer is thoughts and prayers. Stop voting for these pro gun politicians who think gun rights are more important than young lives.
A big victory for Americorps Members, volunteers & communities as $200 million appropriated by Congress is finally released, overthrowing the attempt by Trump to confiscate & redirect it. Thanks to @oagmaryland.bsky.social Maryland Anthony Brown & other state AGs for fighting hard for our people.
Trump is rooting for a shutdown. He knows he has created a huge problem because now any budget deal with Republicans isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. He’s not even pretending to follow the law.
A message for JD Vance and anyone else in this Administration that is pretending they care about the safety of our kids. They don’t. All they care about is the political approval and profits of the gun industry. And they show it every day.
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Those responsible should be made to swallow every page, one by one, and feel the weight of the history they’re trying to destroy. 📚🔥

Ayman Soliman was jailed & tortured by Egypts authoritarian gov. After which he fled, applied for & received asylum in the US. He’s been here legally for a decade! While complying with the terms of his asylum he was kidnapped by ICE. He’s still being held 2 months later.
🤔 Do any of you have family members who are active duty National Guard soldiers? How do THEY feel about Trump's use of the NG for non-existent threats? I'd love to hear their thoughts! DM me! These soldiers' lives and livelihoods are being disrupted. And for what??? 🎥 @meetthebreedloves (Insta)

RFKjr’s threat to pediatricians: "AAP should ... be candid with doctors and hospitals that recommendations that diverge from the CDC's official list are not shielded from liability under the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act," Kennedy posted this week on X. share.google/V6oR1cpdZ7LV...
A lack of sufficient gun regulation is the problem. The gop wanting to pretend that literally anything else is the problem is the problem. RFK is a lying liar who is profoundly incompetent & has no business holding any position impacting public health. #Pinks
I agree 💯
