Elizabeth Warren: "Donald Trump supports Andrew Cuomo to be mayor of New York. Period. And he is willing to bring down the force of the US government not on behalf of the people of the US, but to be able to manipulate the mayoral race to help Andrew Cuomo."
Narrator: That is not in fact a legal authority.
once again, when pressed on where trump gets the authority to take an action, vance’s argument is, essentially, that trump is sovereign
As Trump unleashes his authoritarianism across the country, it’s vital to know your rights. https://youtu.be/metN4EiDtmQ?feature=shared
Massie: Politically, it’s really bad for Republicans. They should just have this vote and put it behind them. 80% of Republicans support releasing these files. So, they are at odds with our base right now—particularly the Maga base.
Rand Paul on Trump striking a Venezuelan boat and killing 11 people: "You might ask the question, where does it end? Are we the world's policemen? Are we gonna be blowing people up off the coast all around the world? ... is it really the constitutional duty of our government?"
Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."
Rand Paul: "It might be ironic if in the end the protectionist flavor of the day - the tariffs we're putting on - brought together our enemies & ultimately led to the collapse of the reserve currency of the world... if you put a 50% tariff on Indian goods, India will become closer to China & Russia"
Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.
This is a rejecting of the concept of legal authority
New in PN: Potemkin village populism "Unlike the fake villages Potemkin erected, Trump’s theaters of cruelty are not harmless diversions. And while he imagines Americans cheering him, his performative sadism is only a winning strategy in his own mind. In reality, he’s becoming more & more reviled."
Thank you @apha.org and partners for joining us. Over 1000 current and former HHS employees called for RFK Jr’s immediate removal. Stop the destruction public health NOW! www.saveHHS.org for our statement and calls to action for everyone.
“Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children against deadly childhood diseases. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone.” —Michael Okuda
RFK’s destruction of NIH and research funding means fewer kids with cancer receive life-saving treatment. America’s pediatric hospitals are critical and shouldn’t have to rely on wealthy donors to save our kids.
Trump seeks out folks w/substance abuse issues to work around him. It helps him mask his own addictions and those of his family. Men like Kudlow, Giuliani, Hegseth, cranks & skanks like Judge Vermouth & Doc Ronnie are all vets of his orbit. He’s got a lot to hide & they help him.
The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.

The thing u need to understand about MSM is most journalists want to excel in careers over risk & media was very concentrated in NYC and all the corporations were not willing to rock the boat when it came to Epstein story. Nothing you are hearing now is new-you should be pissed.
The fact the Trump & WH scheduled a military flyover during the Epstein presser tells you all you need to know about how guilty he has always been. It was NO secret for a long time, that’s the really f*cked up part if u live on UES or spent more than 10 mins w Trump clan.
"Trump’s biggest vulnerability is only starting to enter public consciousness. While he won by promising to lower costs, his economic 'policies' are so irrational they're driving the US toward stagflation the likes of which hasn't been seen since the 1980s."
Ossoff: "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes"
"DEGENERATE DONALD" TRUMP (GROSS PREDATOR!) HAS A DEAD PEDO BESTIE PROBLEM THAT ISN'T GOING AWAY. TOO BAD FOR YOU, DONALD! (SAD!) MANY PEOPLE SAY TO READ JEFF TIEDRICH'S LATEST POST IN WHICH HE EXPLAINS THE WHOLE "REAP-SOW" THING. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4lTXjx3 THANK YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Welcome to the “Fire 🧠🪱!” party, @idsainfo.bsky.social 🎉 Along with 21 more medical organizations It’s getting crowded in here… maybe RFK Jr can explain tomorrow why all his colleagues and health experts want him gone. 👀
The Epstein list is a who’s who of the rich & powerful. The reason Trump and the DOJ are shielding them is because they are rich and powerful. Every time we try to hold them accountable, the systems we believe were meant to deliver justice falter and betray us. (1/4)
"It is also unclear why the military did not interdict the boat instead of blowing it up. In the past, the Coast Guard and even the U.S. Navy have interdicted boats bound for the United States with drugs, detaining and prosecuting the crew." It's not a CG standard to blow up boats, even w/ drugs...
once again I am asking people to correctly answer the question "who was President in 2020"
I had really hoped to be wrong here, but the sound of jet powered narcissism was deafening. Like other rich and powerful men, Trump tried to silence these women & yet their voices rose in sharp defiance.
We gotchu! bsky.app/profile/altn...
Ouch SCOTUS
RFK never intended to let CDC operate. He was clearly just bidding his time, laying the charges until he could demolish CDC. It’s time to #FireRFK!
Mehmet Oz: "In my agency we spend about $1.7 trillion. The major driver of that expense is the health of the American people not being good. If you chronic illness, you end up causing massive problems."
🚨BREAKING: Amid his threats to deploy the military against Chicago over objections from state and city leaders, President Donald Trump sent a fundraising email to his supporters Wednesday vowing to “liberate” the U.S.’ third-largest city. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
🚨BREAKING: Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.
All kidding about this nonsense answer aside: The regime is asserting the power to murder without trial a boat full of people suspected of drug trafficking, who easily could have been intercepted and arrested instead. That is unconscionable and horrifying even assuming everyone aboard was guilty.
Retired Master Sergeant here… “Alex, I’ll take things that GIs have never said for $1000.”
If it’s under Title 32 authority, the Texas guard remains under state control. That would mean that one state is deploying armed forces into the territory of a non-consenting state. And that’d clearly be a violation of the principle that states are co-equal, territorially limited sovereigns.
BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago. Trump administration officials will target Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) celebrations. @wttw.bsky.social
BREAKING: DC Circuit, 2-1, reinstates Biden appointee Rebecca Slaughter to FTC despite Trump attempt to fire her without cited cause. Majority: Millett (Obama), Pillard (Obama). Dissent: Rao (Trump) www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
Pritzker on Trump's plan for Chicago: "Unidentifiable agents in unmarked vehicles with masks are planning to raid Latino communities and say they're targeting violent criminals."
Pritzker: "We have reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois."
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
his entire statement is excellent, and thanks to @atrupar.com as always for quality clipping and quoting. idk how you keep up with it all, man.
Convicted felon has thoughts about other people being "born to be criminals".
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in the state over the governor’s repeated objections. Pritzker also warned Trump will soon launch large-scale immigration raids in Chicago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
🚨 SAVE THE DATE: OCTOBER 18. Millions of Americans took to the streets in June to drown out Trump’s birthday parade. As Trump’s regime escalates his authoritarian power grab, we’re gathering again on 10/18 for a nationwide day of peaceful protests to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Republican politicians' budget bill, the Big Ugly Law, gives tax breaks to private jet owners. Yes, it makes private jets fully tax-deductible. It’s clear who Republican politicians are working for… and it ain’t you.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
PSA‼️ David Geier, the anti-vaccine conspiracist who practiced medicine without a license, now has a CDC email: be65@CDC.gov (letters and numbers are typical format for cdc addresses) Feel free to send him your questions on his “gold-plated”, ahem sorry, “gold standard science” #SandInTheGeiers
"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN down new South Dakota law imposing a nine-month deadline to file ballot measures declaring it unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Congrats to Dakotans for Health and their legal team! www.democracydocket.com/cases/south-...
As a human in DC right now I would get a significant boost to quality of life via a widely available COVID vaccine compared to armed men harassing my neighbors. Would call my representatives in federal government to point this out, if I had any
I say we do a class action case against Kennedy for taking away our life-saving care & for the emotional & physical distress he has caused! He’s a threat to all of us & he needs to go!
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
It actually took U.S. court judges, various state judges and the Supreme Court to stop the toddler tot from shipping these undocumented immigrants children and teens to Guatemala secretly.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, what’s the timeline for the book on how the President went missing like a week after he had weird bruising on his hands?
The long term data on hepatitis B vaccination shows it reduces the incidence of liver cancer by 84% and death from liver disease by 70%. This comes from a large cluster RCT in which entire towns were randomly selected to give the hepatitis B vaccine to all newborns.
ChatGPT 5… “Noem’s brag is more smoke than substance: waving the flag about “jobs for Americans” while this admin guts unions, strips bargaining rights, and weakens protections. It’s not pro-worker — it’s union-busting dressed up in patriotism.”
Who knows what it'll be, most probably back to usual nonsense, but it is genuinely odd to still have nothing else (not even the usual "meetings" or whatever) on the announced schedule, after all this attention, and then simply "makes an announcement" from the Oval with no hint of what it's about.

Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.
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.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
We understand. Make the idiots who voted for this feel the pain of reduced tourism dollars, so they vote out the politicians who support the orange buffoon.

9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.

And for those wanting data data data - yikes, this is a scarily long laundry list of how Trump has stripped away protections, freedom, and $$$ from American workers.
Trump spent Labor Day promoting what he called a “Golden Age,” but the claims being pushed don’t hold up. The White House circulated talking points on social media boasting of $8 trillion in new tariff revenue, $4 trillion in deficit reduction,
He’s not traveling to NJ like they had announced. Not even to Florida. Sure does seem like someone is staying awfully close to Walter Reed, doesn’t it?
Rural communities and people with disabilities will have even more limited access to health care. Families with low incomes who rely most heavily on community clinics and health departments will have fewer resources available to them. Children will lose access to lifesaving vaccines due to cost.
Feel FREE to Re-post. ;)
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
All of them.
