Infrastructure upgrades create jobs, spur economic development, and improve lives. Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I helped pass, VA has received billions to improve roads, bridges, and airports. I'm committed to reauthorizing it so we can keep building on our progress.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
SPOTTED: Mobile billboards driving around D.C. demanding federal agents take their masks off — because public servants should face the public. Go follow @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social!
WTF? This is part of the ceremony of citizenship. These people aren’t against illegal immigration, they’re against legal immigration as well, and always have been.
If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.
Ward 1 stands up for and protects each other, especially in difficult times. I'm so proud to see residents in our ward taking action. @51st.news 51st.news/dc-residents...
How we treat each other says a lot about our faith and ethical beliefs. This is especially true in the workforce, where there are constant opportunities to act with integrity or, conversely, to prioritize selfishness at the expense of the greater good." aftvoices.org/working-with...
Yeah, the Israelis fired on a US ship that was clearly flying the American flag. They knew exactly what they were doing. It makes me mad that our government covered it up in the name of diplomacy.

Nero and Leona Helmsley would be good ones, too- would love to see her bullied by three of the worst humans of all history
Aileen Cannon gets an exemption since her husband is in the mob.
This is fabulous! Laura Loomer (Trump's golden girl) doesn't like Aileen Cannon! The very judge Trump put into office! The very judge that obstructed every effort to prosecute Trump for the STOLEN DOCUMENTS he took to Mar-A-Lago! The very judge who is married to a criminal! Get the popcorn out!!!
A "Consigliari."
I’ve been saying that for years
“She had not a thought in her head that wasn’t a slogan, and there was no imbecility, absolutely none, that she was not capable of swallowing if the Party handed it out to her” - George Orwell, 1984
Old enough to remember the outrage in the United States when Serb forces killed Bosnian civilians fetching water during the siege of Sarajevo.
🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN down new South Dakota law imposing a nine-month deadline to file ballot measures declaring it unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Congrats to Dakotans for Health and their legal team! www.democracydocket.com/cases/south-...
Here’s the thing Democrats need to say, crime and homelessness have causes. Putting troops on corners for 29 days doesn’t address the causes. When they leave nothing will have changed. Millions would’ve been wasted that could’ve been used to address the actual causes of the problems.
"If you stand up in front of cameras for 15 minutes like J.B. Pritzker did and basically say, 'Stay the hell out of my city, you're not welcome here. And if you hurt my people, I will pursue you until the ends of the earth to hold you accountable,' you look strong because you are strong."

Keep an eye on this potential settlement. Google could pay $$$ to Donald Trump to settle a dubious lawsuit all while Trump’s Justice Department tries to break up Google’s monopoly. This could be another example of how giant corporations are enabling Trump’s authoritarianism.

Live view of the Trump regime deciding to move Space Command.
What time is Gavin Newsom's speech?
The only thing better than Trump dying would be for him to be paralyzed, unable to talk, incapable of feeding himself, unaware of when he has to go to the bathroom, yet fully cognizant of everything that’s happening to him.
I imagine a wig team frantically creating fake hair to stick out of his hat for tomorrow. And maybe facial tape to lift the droopy side.
Boston Calling Now! Boston’s First Labor Day Parade #laborday2025 #bostoncalling #wakeupcall #workersoverbillionaires #boston #wethepwople
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
2/ forced him out of the race in the final stretch. totally unprecedented in American history. meanwhile you've got Trump showing up in public events with parts of his body looking like morgue photos and talking like he's playing mad libs and yet ... I guess the elite press ran out of reckoning ...
ive got no idea what's going on with Trump's health. But the 'biden precedent' is just so glaring and hilarious. half of 2025 has been taken up with elite press shaming of how no one ever talked abt Biden's age which was actually their main topic in 2024. Ok. Set aside that his party literally ...
I will never understand why more people aren't disgusted by the rightwing's obsession with children's genitals. It's creepy. It's weird. It's disturbing. It's the kind of political stance that should make a party anathema to any voter who isn't pro-pedophilia.
I opened my own Little Free Library today ♥️ Pittsburgh friends...message me for the address!
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
Today on Labor Day, we must recognize the workers across the country who build our economy and strengthen our nation. We need to fight for a living wage and stronger unions as we work to reindustrialize America.
The folks ruining America won’t be found in a Home Depot parking lot—they’re in the Oval Office

Displace the Disgrace!
DC MUSIC FESTIVAL HAPPENING NOW 9/1
Party preparation is ever so important. - Make your Playlist. - Save that pizza place number in your phone. - Keep a variety of drinks on hand - Send out rsvps - Wait for him to die.
Should blue states stop subsidizing red states?
Job haha he has never held a real job! We all had babysitting jobs, food service gigs, retail positions, office and sales etc…. He is not like real people and he is a bully
Thank you on this labor day!!
And I thought it was only in Russia that things got thrown out of windows…
With Donald and his diaper, EVERY WH room is a shitting room. Place is gonna have to be fumigated when he moves out.
I’m sick in bed with Covid but nothing will keep me from popping that bottle! 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
Attention Chicago: We will NOT be meeting at Federal Plaza. We now will be meeting at Ida B Wells and Michigan. Time and date depends on the arrival time of the troops: IF TROOPS ARRIVE BEFORE 3PM, PROTEST SAME DAY AT 5PM. IF TROOPS ARRIVE AFTER 3PM, PROTEST NEXT DAY AT 5PM.
Netflix is putting its money where its mouth is: 💰 $2M to back Newsom in the redistricting fight 📺 A deal for Sesame Street — new episodes and the full archive free to watch. That’s how you pick a side.
RIP sir... a huge talent. "Graham Greene, a Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73."
Boston is a union town! #workersoverbillionaires Labor Day 2025
Scottsdale AZ represented too! One of our largest crowds and we've been going for 29 weeks.
We want to give a big shout-out to Palm Beach Gardens, New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Albuquerque, Cleveland, and Greensboro! Thank you for showing up today and making your voices heard! 💚✊
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.
The researcher, Andrew Wakefield, who first proposed this had his medical license revoked for falsifying his data. Fraud. He then fled to America and now works for suspiciously well-funded anti-vaxx organizations. America...land of the free to cheat you and home of the grifters.
The phrase "the fish stinks from the head" means that when an organization is failing, the root cause is often its leadership. The head of “secretary of health and human services” is RFK.
RFK Jr tried to bully a respected science journal to remove a Danish study of 950,000 kids that disproved his ignorant claim. They refused to do it. He used AI to generate a report that supported his nonsense that included made up studies. Why he still has a job is beyond me. He’s a liar.
Remember, RFK Junior is part of the Skakel’s. Remember that
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
One of the idiotic ani-vax family literally murdered their child by not vaccinating him and he died of measles. What’s even scarier is that they stated that if they have a second child they won’t vaccinate him either.
Source:
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
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:
We all knew this smuck getting into the papers from the late 60’s! New Yorkers tried to tell you.
California stepping up.
www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6GvjPcr/ How in the HELL does any government lawfully deport 600 unaccompanied minors? Who does that? Who the fuck are we? What are we? What have we become?
Blue states should team up on purchasing, protocols, distribution
Per the latest DOJ status report, "all but four" of the 76 children have been "returned" to the Office of Refugee Resettlement's custody. The remaining four are to be returned "at approximately 11:00pm EDT."
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
Dr. Nick Maynard has worked in Gaza for 15 years. After his last trip, he said what he saw was "indescribably worse" than anything before.
Are we Great Again!?
The thing about those 600 minors being deported is none of them were in the Epstein files like Trump is.
She is a great lady doing the best under duress for us all
Am speechless and amazed!
MORE: Sparkle Sooknanan is still awake -- and she wants a fourth status report from DOJ. The judge orders the government to update her when all putative class members have been returned to ORR custody.
Recent years have seen an upswing in people playing tennis (or at least dressing like it). But it's not just a phase. The sport — at least some version of it — has been around since medieval times.
This is all REPUBLICANS’ fault. Yes Merrick Garland was a wuss. Yes Trump should be in jail. But Trump wouldn’t be getting away with his crimes without republicans complicity. Let’s stop attacking Democrats who made errors vs Republicans actively fucking the country. Then elect Dems who FIGHT.
I wonder what that prostate cancer is like that he’s dealing with
Biden’s biggest and most consequential failure was appointing that institutionalist lump of uselessness (and keeping him). Imagine if he appointed Doug Jones or someone like that, everything would be different and better
We were told he was an angel playing 12D chess and to wait, wait, wait. It was just like Trump's "2 weeks." 4 years wasted.
Garland sat like this for years until it was too late and I’ll never forgive that
