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.

A shout-out to Portland, Little Rock, Ocean City, San Diego, Indianapolis, Salem, Denver, Asheville, and Pittsburgh!
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
if dem leadership doesn’t flood his campaign against Susan Collins with money like they did with Sara Gideon i’ll never forgive them. FINALLY we have someone who will connect with district 2 mainers in a way a neolib from freeport never could
I hope Susan Collins is very concerned.
Republicans control the Senate But with Roy Cooper in North Carolina, the emergence of @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social in Iowa and Sherrod Brown maybe returning in Ohio, the map looks a lot better If Democrats beat Susan Collins and @ossoff.bsky.social holds his seat, the balance of power will change
BREAKING: MASSIVE RALLY FORMING IN MAINE AGAINST SUSAN COLLINS.
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.

Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs. Remember when Trump said he would bring down the cost of groceries? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared
Today we get to enjoy Labor Day, because of the generations of workers who came before us to fight for fair wages, benefits, and basic decency.

Something is very wrong with him. We do not need to be physicians to notice that either there is something physically or mentally wrong with him. When this Holiday weekend ends, this MUST be at the top of the agenda (along with Wednesday's presser with the Epstein victims).
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.

In case you are wondering what is going on today at WaPo and Democracy Docket.
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
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.

Periodic reminder I was tortured in childhood over autism and that’s what RFK Jr is trying to usher back in
Nine former heads of the CDC—appointed by presidents of both parties—warn the nation of the immense peril RFK Jr is putting the country in. Gift link, please send to families and friends www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
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.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
Nine former CDC directors basically said RFK Jr is a threat to public health.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
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:
I like the rebrand.
Over 200 days and still no #TrumpEpsteinFiles released.
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
California stepping up.
Better answer: If there’s proof of an actual crime, Justice Department can file charges and access all documents. Otherwise, fuck off.

I see that MAGA/GOP are still killing children.
Remember kids, this is the United States, people will shoot at you for anything.
A 10-year-old boy was in critical condition after he was shot while playing the “ding dong ditch” prank in Houston on Saturday night, the authorities said.
This is just sad. We’ve 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.

From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an “unannounced location” at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. “There was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,” the pool report states.

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."
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
"That’s nearly a quarter of a billion dollars of taxpayer money, at least, that may as well have been burned to ashes. In fact, Ron DeSantis and his enablers actually would have done a lot less harm—to people, to the environment, to the rule of law—if they had simply set the cash on fire." #Florida

I’m waiting for the black smoke
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
CHICAGO…
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
Governor Pritzker asked for Proof of Life yesterday.

Tulsi Gabbard's "slip-up' of publicly outing of an undercover CIA officer is more than a mistake—it's an act of betrayal. This leak doesn't just end one person's career; it puts lives at risk, compromises intelligence networks, and weakens America's security abroad. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

If Republicans really think there is a national emergency to justify the tariffs, why don’t they just pass them in Congress like they are supposed to under the constitution. This is supposedly a national emergency, but they are gambling on the Supreme Court while doing nothing?
