So Ron DeSantis is abolishing vaccine mandates for schoolchildren. And Dr. Oz is proposing that Medicare use AI death panels to deny coverage. And RFK Jr. is making it harder for Americans to get vaccines. It's like these ignorant zealots are in a contest to see who can kill the most Americans.
I like your Avatar. My Great Grandfather's father rode with him during the Civil War.
Don't forget who empowered the SCOTUS and turned his dream into reality.
Thank You.
According to a new WSJ poll, a record-low share of Americans feel optimistic about improving their standard of living, while a record-high say the American dream no longer holds true. What really happened to the American Dream? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-really-happened-to-the-american
Reagan sold out the working class then Clinton buried them.
Lock them up?
This is a reminder that Speaker Mike Johnson, the prude who is currently helping Donald Trump to cover up his alleged pedophilic past, was the first (and only) dean of Judge Paul Pressler School of Law. Judge Paul Pressler liked to molest underage boys. apnews.com/article/mike...
That would be unconstitutional. Every of age citizen has the right to bear arms. The only exception is a felony conviction.
Middle and low-income earners’ consumer confidence is plummeting, while high earners’ is going up. Be warned: this spells doom for our consumer spending-driven economy.
Everything is worse under Trump.
I’ve seen enough. Impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
just think… garland could have gone down in history for stopping the destruction of our democracy…
Insane liar.
Dem need to introduce impeachment of RFK in House. Let Rs and Trump defend this monster.
President Trump's new Fed nominee claims he is independent — but REFUSES to admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Doesn’t sound like independence to me. And Americans will pay the price.
Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society
Thursday's Thought - Here is what MAHA really means - Mothers Against Healthy Americans.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "And the next surname starts with a T. It's [inaudible]." Colleague: "Could you repeat that?" Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Nope."
Also Claire Chenault and numerous American pilots fought with the Chinese.
Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.
Why would The Felon do that. Those jews were turned away by Roosevelt a Democrat.
Is this really true.
There are a lot of elderly people living in Florida, my mother for instance. All will be exposed to unvaccinated people. They will die in droves.
Let’s fight back, California. Yes on 50!
The House and Senate are back in session this week. Who else thinks it's time to ban members of Congress from trading stocks?
Remember, Scotus did not revoke impeachment. What they did do was give themselves the power to decided what an official act is. That is not in the Constitution.
A comment an my opinion on the Epstein survivors news conference. Any saying the did not see The Felon doing anything inappropriate is not saying he was not at Epstein island. Fact is, they have to be careful with what they say. Remember, son\me have disappeared and some are no longer with us.
Is threatening Congress people considered an “official duty” & therefore he’s immune from prosecution for it? Seems to me those Congress persons still have power to impeach him—regardless of what SCOTUS could ever rule. Why don’t Rs grow fucking spines and #IMPEACH, convict & remove him? JD’s ready
Attending is not an actionable alliance. What is the problem with NY, NY and PA? I understand NH - people make fun of them.
Which ones? I am not aware of Connecticut where I live doing so.
“Recent government scrutiny and invasive inquiry into university curricula and programming have resulted in an unprecedented and unconstitutional attack on the freedom and integrity of academic institutions—and in some cases, also on religious freedom.” www.americamagazine.org/faith-and-re...
As prices rise and job growth slows — due to Trump’s tariffs, his attempt to take over the Fed, and his attacks on immigrants — America will likely fall into the dread trap of “stagflation.” If nothing else brings him down, Trump's authoritarian control over the economy will.
Here lies the problem. In what world don’t they have to report the news and/or a News conference of the biggest issue of today? I’ll tell you why……Fox protects the perpetrators- not the victims. Boycott their sponsors- change their minds real quick!
Not surprised. Consider how many FOX employees (men) have been found guilty of Sexual Assault.
The Corporate media is a joke.
Whether you believe in prayer or not, prayers over gun violence show no signs of working. And if prayers are the only thing you offer in response to this nation's epidemic of gun violence, you're not a serious person who wants to solve a real problem. You're a sanctimonious fraud with a gun fetish.
More of this.
I suggest other Blue States join this coalition. I live in Connecticut and wrote a letter to my State Senator asking him to consider joining or to create one here in the Northeast.
One of the Epstein survivors (I missed her name, forgive me) just announced a number of the survivors will be compiling their own list of perpetrators involved in the sex trafficking operation.
Last weekend I attended Wargameron 2025 - a wonderful boardgame convention here in Poland. It was a blast! In below article I am sharing more info about it, impressions and games played! theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/09/03/w...
Watch the press conference here:
I'm glad it's finally happening, but I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready for this Epstein survivor press conference on the Hill. It's gonna be a rough day. Grateful to these women for their courage.
Have these people no shame?
Wednesday's Thought - Did The Felon declare war on Venezuela? He had our Navy sink a Venezuelan ship yesterday killing 11 people. He says there were drugs on board? Why not board it and find them instead of killing so many? What facts are there to substantiate this claim?

We need Democratic AGs to make it clear they will launch investigations under state law if one of their residents dies due to RF Kennedy Jr's dangerous actions. This is the only way to save lives! My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/rfk-jr-mus...
Since returning to office, Trump has: -Stripped 1 million federal workers of collective bargaining rights -Reversed Biden's minimum wage hike for federal contractors -Gutted OSHA and frozen enforcement of a regulation protecting miners from lung disease "Pro-worker" president.
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.
That was all on Merrick Garland.
Yes, I commend him. He even said it is time for new leadership.
Democratic officials of a certain age: Follow Rep. Nadler’s example. He is a legend. And now he’s doing what’s right for the nation and the party, leaving at the top of his game, letting younger members lead.
Thanks for this. Blocked.
"Work from home is bad for everyone Only a few people retain productivity Intangible office connections are gone Young people r further isolated and lonely City centers decay" -Vinay Prasad, the FDA Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, who barely comes into the office.
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.

Beyond pathetic.
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service...We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor.” - Claude Malhuret youtu.be/wmDVrV7QRrU
Tuesday's Thought -
Any soldier remaining is violating their oath and following illegal orders.
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.
🎂🎉
Today's my birthday and I'm hoping @realDonaldTrump will send me one of his amazing handcrafted cards with a beautiful Sharpie-drawn woman on it
Wow, would love for an actual journalist to ask Trump what he thinks of Lutnick betting big on the tariffs being thrown out, and making a fortune. Also wonder if Trump kids--and Trump himself, through them--are doing the same thing.
✋
Yeah he's not beating the allegations
Pedophiles standing together.
He looks swollen.
I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn's last show at Alpine Valley. We left halfway through the last song of the encore to beat traffic. We heard the helicopter thumping then crash. We didn't know what we heard for sure at the time, and talked about it on the slow drive back to Madison through thick fog. 1/
So sad for those who voted for The Felon. Enjoy the bed you made.
I hope you are right. I lost faith in they American people when they sat back and allowed the Supreme Court to appoint Bush president.
Monet - Venice - I love Monet
Played several Battle of Hoth scenarios with my kids (10&12 year old). What a great experience it was - they love it from the start! Beautiful minis, relatively simple rules and quick play - great! #daysofwonder #wargames
The System wants you to think it’s the Right versus Left. When in reality it is the Rich versus the Poor. The System controls both the Right and the Left. Both Right and Left political operations are System Controlled Opposition The enemy is the Oligarchy, Plutocracy and Corporate Kleptocracy
This is your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a convicted FELON ‼️
(🧵1/3) The Invasion of Poland, also known as the September Campaign (1 September – 6 October 1939), was a joint attack on the Republic of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, which marked the beginning of World War II. @djackthompson.bsky.social
Just visited the ruins of the Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island. I was looking for a sign announcing that RFK Jr. will begin renovations soon because, you know: Make Smallpox Great Again.
Monday's Thought - The right complains that we on the so called left do not understand them. What's to understand when the right tries to deport young minor children in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend. I sure do understand that sort of demonic behavior.
This Labor Day, never forget: the sitting President said we have "too many non-working holidays." Happy Labor Day, workers.✊
“But our march had done its work. We had drawn the attention of the nation to the crime of child labor…The Pennsylvania legislature passed a child labor law that sent children home from the mills, and kept others from entering the factory until they were fourteen.” www.thebulwark.com/p/labor-day-...
This week’s Game of the Week is Panzer Campaigns: Salerno ‘43. This covers both the invasions of Salerno in Sept. '43 and Anzio in Jan '44. As a bonus the air assault on Crete in '41 is also included. This title is on sale for 25% off now through Sunday Sept. 7th. wargameds.com/blogs/news/g...
I call him Pestilence.
One of my pet peeves. NYT and others keep calling him a vaccine skeptic not a vaccine opponent.
Time to get back to our Fields of Fire materials. Things start to get serious - no more training camp but a real mission. Welcome to Normandy Campaign! Link: theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/08/31/f... @benhull.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social
Laugh crying.

She’s a singular sensation!
Yes he was.
