If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
"Public health will never look the same. But this isn’t just a story about science... ...every woman watching knows what Moneraz risked & why it matters. If one woman at the top of the CDC can hold her ground vs a president trying to tear down science, every one of us can hold our ground too"
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.
California stepping up.

Disgraceful.

“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis

"Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket has quietly become a pro-democracy media force, expanding its newsroom to 20 staffers as it surpasses 50,000 paid subscribers." Story here: www.status.news/p/democracy-...
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
What’s worse than a local headline about a GOP Rep getting chased out of a town hall? A local headline reminding voters that their GOP Rep hasn’t held a town hall in 6 years. See: Stefanik, Elise #NY21 www.nny360.com/news/it-s-be...
He’s the Vice President of the United States. He could actually *do* something about this instead of just play pretend games.
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
This week, a federal judge ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service broke the law when it decided not to protect gray wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains under the federal Endangered Species Act. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/laws...
Susan Collins was heckled and drowned out by demonstrators at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Maine. "Shame! Shame! Shame!" protesters yelled at Collins. Collins asked the crowd to let her "get through this brief ceremony" — but then she was interrupted again.
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
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

The ultimate motivation to win 🥹 Jay Vine won in front of his family on Stage 6 of La Vuelta a España as he raced along home Andorran roads and shared this emotional moment at the finish line.
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Join some Nobel Laureates and sign this petition to remove RFK Jr. from office. He is a danger to the people of the United States and a national security threat. www.change.org/p/demand-rfk...
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
NRA: “Guns don’t kill people.” ME: “They certainly seem to help.”
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.
Does it also have to be filled with cheap guady fake gold leaf on everything 🤡🤡🤡🤡
President Trump has signed an executive order that requires federal buildings in Washington to maintain a classical style of Greco-Roman architecture associated with the marble columns and austere hallways of the Supreme Court and U.S. Capitol.
My dear friend, how is life... 😊 #dog #dogday #bluesky
Does anyone believe anything she says??🤡🤡ahhh no
You're not going to believe this but Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed"
BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr poised to surpass gun violence as leading cause of death among American children.
Portugal’s President Rebelo de Sousa: “The top leader of the world’s foremost superpower is, objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset. He operates as an asset.”
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.

Newsom tells our Christopher Cadelago that he has final say over his x posts, but is using his "kill switch" to reject posts "less every day." Watch the interview from our Politico Live California Agenda Summit 👇
Good. I have questions and the American people deserve answers.
He also said, “I can do anything I want, I’m the president of the United States.” The man wants to be king, but we became our own country to never again be ruled by one.
Here he goes.
Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to testify to Congress on handling Epstein case and the fallout
"A grand jury would indict a ham sandwich," then-Chief Judge of New York's Court of Appeals, Sol Wachtler, said in 1985. Oh. The. Irony.

CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”
If Cracker Barrel sets them off, imagine how they’ll react when they hear I went woke in the New Testament — turning the other cheek, feeding the poor, all that radical stuff.
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
RFK Jr. will testify before a Senate panel next week. The Finance Committee hearing was in the works before Wednesday’s CDC shakeup.
The guy responsible for the most massive crime wave in U.S. history...is telling you he's crushing crime. Read that a couple more times.
We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
Tulsi Gabbard released the names of CIA OPERATIVES! “It could potentially put CIA cover procedures at risk. It could put relations with foreign governments at risk.” The Predator in Chief picks all the best people...right? Not! www.thedailybeast.com/intelligence...
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
Pushing out top officials. Firing hundreds of lifelong public health experts. Trying to slash the CDC’s budget by billions. How is this “Making America Healthy Again”?
Susan Collins Brutally Heckled At Maine Ribbon-Cutting
For those asking, this is an ammosexual.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
🚨BREAKING: Arizona Court of Appeals REJECTS right wing challenge to Arizona's signature matching process. Another VICTORY for my law firm's clients and the voters of Arizona. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...
Mark this day as the death of expertise at the CDC. All we have between us and the next pandemic are a bunch of horse paste eating conspiracy loons.
THOU SHALT STOP WORSHIPPING GUNS!!!
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
Deforestation kills Forest clearance has killed more than half a million people in the tropics over the past two decades as a result of heat-related illness, a study has found. This is a local effect in addition to global heating. Article by me. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Listeria?!! Might be time to grow your own salads. Or fry them.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
all of this makes total sense when you recognize that “freedom” here means the freedom to dominate those you view as your subordinates and “tyranny” is when someone threatens that “freedom” or worse, when those subordinates try to claim power as political equals
It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all
Another shooting. This time in a Catholic school in Minneapolis. It shouldn’t be normal to see 5th graders give TV interviews describing seeing their friends shot. None of this is normal. This is not inevitable. This is a policy choice. Enough.
This is painful to watch. Felon Trump has the National Guard picking up trash in D.C. Because there isn’t enough crime to keep them busy?
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
