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...
Save this one for when the news break out ;)
30 cases of voter fraud annually, and the GOP passes 104 voter suppression laws. 47,000 gun deaths a year, and the GOP does absolutely NOTHING.
KOH: “Trump Stripped 1 million workers’ bargaining rights while plastering his face on the Labor Dept… Closed miner health clinics… Cut $2.4 Billion from youth & senior job programs… This is the real story of Trump & Labor.” #LaborDay
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
GOP Rep claims Muslims in US want to impose "sharia law" as he literally pushes for his right wing "Christian" beliefs to be US law! Say no to religious law, say no to the GOP! My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/gop-rep-wa...
A new lawsuit claims the CDC skipped full safety testing of the childhood vaccine schedule. But scientists say infants' immune systems are more than capable of handling the recommended shots: www.snopes.com/fact-check/c...

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."
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?
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.
1 plus 1 equals 2, and there are no other numbers!!!
Even sadder, you just *know* that a Democratic president will not take advantage of the power that trump has taken.
Everyone in Trump’s inner circle knows Trump is not well and getting worse by the day. They are covering it up!
If all those claims are true, why haven't our taxes gone down??
Can we stop to talk about how remarkable the timing was? Compliant at 1am, Judge engaged at 2am, ex parte call to the Government at 2:30am (they did not answer), TRO at 4am? On a Sunday of a holiday weekend?!
OK, Seb. What are *your* statistics?

RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
No candidate interviewing for medical school who, upon expressing RFK jr's views, would ever be accepted. They'd be laughed right out of the room. And yet this man runs the HHS – including the CDC, NIH, ACF, CMS, HRSA, and SAMHSA? WTAF?! Remove RFK jr for dereliction of duty. Immediately.
Pete Hegseth in December on military training: “We’re bringing a war-fighting ethos back to the Pentagon. Everything else that distracts from lethality shouldn’t be happening.”
NEW: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will hand out $67 BILLION to companies next year to "incentivize" research these companies did YEARS ago. That means next year, the federal government will spend five times more on these handouts than what it spends annually on child care.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
GOP Rep. warns Muslims want to impose “Sharia law” at very time he’s imposing “Christian law.” "Sharia law is coming!” screamed GOP Rep. Josh Brecheen at his town hall in Oklahoma. In reality Brecheen and GOP ones imposing their religion as law! My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/gop-rep-wa...
Ask Hiroshima and Nagasaki about inanimate objects.
Hey, Meagan: apnews.com/article/paxt...
Too bad it wasn't $40 to $50 million.
He's right, though. Nothing can stop death.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Mark Zaid, an attorney who is representing Eisenstat and several other people on the list, said the revocation of the security clearances “literally has no rhyme or reason” and carried echoes of the McCarthy era. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
Umm... apnews.com/article/paxt...
AP: “When Trump awarded a contract for $1.2 billion for 🇺🇸’s largest immigration detention complex, it handed it to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small biz with no experience… its address a modest home in suburban Virginia.”🤔 Golden Age of Corruption. apnews.com/article/trum...
Sadly, this onion headline will never get old
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Image caring more about stopping a memorial for people killed in a mass shooting than stopping mass shootings. #Priorities
He may be alive, but he’s definitely not well.
Donald Trump incited a violent coup to overthrow the 2020 election and hold onto power. It will never be ok that he was not held accountable, including banning him from ever again holding public office.
Perennial tweet.
If only there was something one of them could have done before Jr was confirmed. 🤔
JD Vance: “Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think, a really bad person.” { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
I hope he does in the evening because I really shouldn't start drinking before breakfast.
California is getting safer. Homicides down 20% Robberies down 19% All within this year. And we're deploying CHP officers to more regions across the state to keep this momentum going.
JD Vance: “I don’t believe Trump” will improve the lives of his voters. { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }

Are they going to flood the streets so the boats can go by like the squeaky tanks did?
I vaguely remember tweeting something like the country that effectively captures this free energy source at scale will rule the 21st century. whelp.
"But I'll force it on you anyway."
But at least the Cult Of trump will be gone.
*parades* Now he wants the Navy to do a parade too.
He may or may not be mortal, but he's definitely immoral.
A brave whistleblower revealed that DOGE stole the American people's Social Security data. The Trump administration forcibly removed him. This is illegal.
DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. And now a Social Security Administration whistleblower is resigning after apparently being punished for trying to warn the public. Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."
Last January, a source shared evidence with me that DOGE was installing devices on govt servers to upload data to the cloud. Some hosts were FOREIGN. On Friday, a whistleblower resigned and came forward to share the same. Listen to what we found in January: www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...
DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
He's got his name on his shirt in case he forgets.
Make it pay per view and we could cover the national debt.
Not a single example of actual waste, fraud or abuse either.
These aren't distractions. They are practice sessions.
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
I like how he's got his name on his shirt in case he forgets.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
Not the Oval Office. Just trump himself. I rather doubt he'd (they'd) be for this if Harris was in office.
SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."

Trump admin to put back up Robert E. Lee Portrait-Complete With Slave. Yep, Trump is hanging a huge painting of a slave owning traitor who led troops in defense of slavery and who killed patriotic Americans. And Lee's slave is in painting. Perfectly sums up MAGA. www.mediaite.com/politics/pen...
It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.
More Americans expressed concerns that tariffs would impact prices.

Imagine what $110 million could do to help those suffering from mental health issues.
El Paso shooter wasn’t Trans Buffalo shooter wasn’t Trans Uvalde shooter wasn’t Trans Thousand Oaks shooter wasn’t Trans Sunderland Springs shooter wasn’t Trans Parkland HS shooter wasn’t Trans Las Vegas, Sandy Hook, Lewiston, Pulse Nightclub, Dayton and Tree of Life shooters, ALL NOT Trans
We really need to face that the ruling party is at peace with millions of us dying … COVID, guns, hunger, police violence, concentration camps, unsafe food, natural disasters. They are deeply committed to not preventing these deaths. #FireRFKJr
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.
RFK Jr was not chosen to preside over US public health and science because he had any qualifications. He had a famous family name and Trump needed his endorsement and supporters. We saw it happen live in this call. That’s why we are here.
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...
Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”
Not "the" president. Just republican presidents.
We're reached the stage of democratic backsliding where federal judges are openly musing in court that, if they rule in accordance with the law, corrupt loyalists on the Supreme Court will just say the law doesn't count, so maybe it isn't worth the effort.
No notes
I do too. But we're supposed to have sane, dedicated, non biased ppl from both parties making up govt. I get why Biden didn't want to do or even appear to do anything as petty or insane as TFG is doing now. Protecting norms was a strength and a weakness 😩
I think it would be easier if each Republican president didn’t leave a disaster to cleanup.
the harsh realization that every single administration hire is one of the shittiest unqualified mediocre people in the world
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.
