On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
Pope Leo XIV prayed publicly on Sunday for the victims of the shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small."
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Wait until he hears about profiteering off Gaza
The mental fitness of elderly Presidents has been such an important issue for the media lately, so I expect wall-to-wall coverage of how President Trump has once again thrown a fit about one of his own signature policies, showing no awareness of how it arose or who executed it.
Yesterday, after enjoining DOJ/DHS from removing dozens of unaccompanied Guatemalan minors, Judge Sooknanan ordered DOJ to file 4 status reports *later that same day*—with a 5th still due this morning—to prove it complied. (“Presumption of regularity” is gone for this DOJ.) ... 1/2

Admirable statement—a nonpartisan commitment to Americans’ health is why we now live so much longer and healthier than when these people began their decades running the CDC. Now, for some reason, RFK Jr is trying to use the CDC to kill us.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.

NEW: 72 of the 76 Guatemalan children previously boarded onto planes have been returned to ORR custody, per DOJ, with the remaining 4 expected to be returned in the next 15 min. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Just saying, if, IF, a president of these here United States had a stroke and is unable to do their duty, but people in the administration hid it for days, that should be considered treason for many many reasons.
Newsom responds to Trump’s odd post announcing he is going to bed early
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
The United States killed American Indians and drove them from their homes in order to steal their land. Could it work in Gaza?
Today we monitored ICE flights in support of legal partners who worked tirelessly to stop the unlawful deportation of unaccompanied children to Guatemala. Thanks to their monumental efforts, the planes never took off
Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
!!! Is that a sign of a calmness ?

Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident. I hope he gets the same expert medical care that he would wish for a disabled transgender immigrant.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
That makes me feel really good . Thank you Californians and Governor Newsom
California stepping up.
I like the rebrand.
Great to stop by Hyde Park and see Chef Erick Williams. This Black Business Month and every month, we’re proud to show the world what Illinois is really all about.
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Spent the day driving around Manchester, New Hampshire, a city for 80-something New Yorkers in deep debt apparently. I was driving alone, something I’m known to do. I saw a woman fleeing domestic violence. I “rendered aid,” vaguely. Minutes or maybe an hour later I was walloped by a Mack truck.
Who’s Tony ? And what is he singing
This is the way
Illinois is currently exploring the possibility of purchasing Covid-19 vaccines in bulk straight from manufacturers to make sure everyone will still have access.

It’s slowly dawned on me that Trump abruptly stopped going to his other properties in the weekend, not even Labor Day. He used to go to NJ in the summer. Now he seems tethered to the White House, where he recreated Mar-a-Lago Why?
If you’re enjoying the last weekend of the fair, don’t miss the Bison Sub from our friends at the Minnesota Farmers Union.
No it was a different picture… but if you’re confident that Trump hasn’t been seen since before the weekend I’m good with that ! Thanks for responding
It's that time of the year again — welcome to the 2025 Du Quoin State Fair! There's still time to visit! As folks come from near and far in search of a blue ribbon prize or the next fun adventure, I just want to say: thank you for making this a part of your summer once again.
Trump plan to redevelop Gaza into a series of luxury resorts is slated to contain up to six “AI powered smart cities”, according to the “prospectus” reviewed by the Post. The plan assumes the “voluntary” departure of all now living in Gaza. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
I thought there was a picture being circulated of Trump at his golf course ??? I certainly hope he hasn’t been seen :)
Not buying it!!!
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.
Yes but who do you trust more: The nation’s largest nurses professional organization or the people who love raw milk www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nation...
On Wed Trump held a White House meeting with Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, Tony Blair and Jared Kushner to discuss ideas for how to relocate two million citizens and profit off the ruins of Gaza www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
The FDA has approved new COVID-19 booster shots for this fall, but with certain limitations. MSNBC medical contributor @vinguptamd.bsky.social breaks down what the approval means and offers guidance for those considering or in need of the vaccine.
Also, when engaging in resistance using a sandwich, do not take any bites from it first, because DNA. And remember that your condiments can be used against you in a court of law.
JUST IN: Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been hospitalized with a broken vertebrae after a car accident in New Hampshire, according to his spokesperson.
Best take down of the week #nokings #nopedophiles #nonazis
Was anyone in the car with Rudy when he was struck from a car behind him that was traveling at a high speed ? Were there witnesses ? How drunk was Rudy ?
This whole scenario feels like it's straight outta the government's Alien Enemies Act/J.G.G. playbook. In J.G.G., Boasberg entered TRO barring removal of named plaintiffs and set weekend emergency hearing on certification of class. But DHS started removing people just before/during hearing...
The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).

Martha Raddatz pivoted from criticizing Wes Moore over his attacks on Trump's lack of military service to grilling him about his own military service record.
Ro Khanna says that on Sep 3, ten Epstein victims will speak on Capitol steps, many who have not spoken out before, to implore and encourage the full release of the files.
An honor to be back at Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Rochdale on this sublime Sunday morning. My thanks to the great Bishop Johnny Ray Youngblood and his congregation for the warm welcome.
The bigger picture is that America has a gun violence problem and it’s only getting worse. Other countries have NO mass shooting and no arguments about the gender of the perpetrators.

Donald Trump’s rumored death raises new questions about Joe Biden’s health

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)
Men, if you have a small penis, just register as a Republican and you’ll become a big dick.
Release the Epstein files.
They're releasing the Epstein files?
He’s on another QAnon posting spree tonight.
It’s not much consolation, but history will remember what she did and what this is.
Two psychologists have warned that Trump shows signs of dementia—specifically frontotemporal dementia, linked to deteriorating psychomotor functioning. The blurry photos released today do nothing to dispel the growing speculation that something is seriously wrong with Trump.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Oh
There may no hope for tens of millions of Trump's true believers, but there are tens of millions more who can be shamed. (And a few million more who somehow have no idea what's going on at all.)
People who might be comfortable with their neighbors quietly disappearing aren't always comfortable when the grotesque human rights abuses involved are made public. They don't like to imagine themselves as the bad people you make them seem like when you point out what's happening. So keep doing it.

In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How’s the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And when Trump and RFK are talking about all these medical cuts… they don’t mean insulin and oxy, right?
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
