At Pritzker’s behest, the IL Dept of Public Health is exploring the possibility of bulk-purchasing Covid vaccines straight from manufacturers, a senior Illinois health official confirms. Because there's no better way to say fk-off to RFK Jr & Trump than pure action. capitolfax.com/2025/08/29/i...
I saw the video. I call B.S.
NEW: This weekend in Trump's effort to make fascism happen. The Trump administration tried to illegally send children to Guatemala as troops walked aimlessly around Dupont Circle. This evening, at Law Dork:
Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa did not mince words: he called Donald Trump “objectively a Soviet or Russian asset” in a speech this week, warning that U.S. policy now serves Moscow’s interests. A rare, blunt assessment from a European head of state. @ec.europa.eu #Russia #Ukraine
Leaked ‘Gaza Riviera’ plan dismissed as ‘insane’ attempt to cover ethnic cleansing
Trump did this.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Data from 33 cities across the country discredits the claim that bail reform causes crime to increase. bit.ly/4dkG58o
In ancient Celtic societies, even elected rulers were expected to symbolically marry the sovereign goddess.
Which explains why Heather Cox Richardson noted the other day that a year ago, the "re up" rate of the Natl Guard was over 60% Now, it's 20%. It's almost like people don't like getting treated like shit.
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...
CVS says that in 13 states a prescription is needed for a COVID shot: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. abcnews.go.com/Health/covid...
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.
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

OPINION: "The disproportionate suffering in Black communities wasn’t a natural disaster but a predictable result of policies concentrating risk in marginalized neighborhoods," Garcia, David and Peacock write.

Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Trump was on the roof planning this.
It wasn't a great week to be a GOP member of Congress hosting a town hall! The last week of August recess brought jeers, laughs, & unanswered q's for those who dared to face their constituents. One member even fled through a back door to avoid the heat. 👀 Broke it down for @motherjones.com:
The real workers of "america".
Two views of the White House.
Those who bow down to Trump don't do so because they fear him, they bow down because the agree with him.
The Washington Post covered the story on the left, but ignored the story on the right. Luckily, Democracy Docket has you covered. Support independent pro-democracy media. Subscribe today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Those who bow down to Trump don't do so because they fear him, they bow down because the agree with him.
"An EU antitrust sanction against Google that was scheduled for today was put on hold hours before the planned announcement, following opposition from EU trade commissioner Maroš Šefčovič and lobbying from Washington, MLex has learned."
It is beyond wild to me that there is zero coverage of "Workers over Billionaires" rallies anywhere on The New York Times or The Washington Post right now. This is a colossal failure in journalism. Mainstream media can't just pretend that hundreds of thousands of protesters don't exist

The White House needs to be pressured and start answering questions and providing information. This is the latest photo that’s been released (he’s in his limo—I cropped it):

Albuquerque, NM turned out hard for Labor Day while Trump is hiding to play golf on the taxpayer dime.

Here's where all the legal cases against Trump stand since his return to the White House
“This move threatens to separate children from their families, lawyers, and support systems, to thrust them back into the very conditions they are seeking refuge from, and to disappear vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight,” @senwyden.bsky.social
A judge blocks the deportation of Guatemalan children already waiting on the tarmac to be sent back
UK 'outraged' at Israel restricting aid as it works to evacuate children from Gaza for treatment
The criminals in the White House are absolutely desperate for a wag-the-dog war to cover up what they're doing.
Great turnout and great signs as always Portland! This is what democracy looks like! #protest #laborday #pdx #resist #artactivism @taradublinrocks.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible-oregon.bsky.social
Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale RTd this thread, which says Trump shld act fast & “Fire people who can't be fired. Force them to litigate. Mass deport people who can't be deported. Force them to litigate. Cancel 100s of billions in funding that are not lawful to cancel & force them to litigate.” 1/

8 cops making over $100k each to arrest one man. But your food, water & air are killing you. Your daughter is carrying her rapist’s baby to term & will probably die when it becomes complicated & your veteran son in jail for being unhoused. But at least that Brown guy sitting on a bench is gone.🙄

Trump and his Nazi minions are desperate for a wag-the-dog war.
Maduro: “You have to be careful, because Marco Rubio wants to stain your hands with South American, Caribbean, Venezuelan blood, drag you into a bloodbath, and have your last name stained for centuries with a massacre against the people of Venezuela.”

The Average CEO Now Makes 632 Times More Than a Typical Worker | CEO pay has risen nearly 35% since 2019 in absolute terms, while their median worker pay hasn’t even kept up with the U.S. inflation rate. At Starbucks, the gap between CEO compensation and median worker pay hit 6,666 to 1 last year.
Protesters have taken over the front of Trump Tower, chanting “Donald Trump has got to go!” The message is clear: the public is done with corruption, lies, and MAGA’s toxic grip on America.

Trump and his greedhead cronies may get a big surprise in spite of their efforts to rig the 2026 election. They could find themselves swamped by a blue wave. Americans are wising up to the fact that Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare.
One of my favorite signs from Workers Over Billionaire's rally in Eugene, OR.
Donald Trump pretends to care about Medicare fraud, but then turns around and pardons a guy who ran a $1.3 billion Medicare fraud scheme.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again: Cities are not test grounds for the president to enact egregious, unconstitutional, uncalled for military takeovers. The Trump Administration’s stunts and performance have no place in our cities.
Happy Labor Day! Donald Trump’s attacks on unions and federal employees make our country weaker and less prosperous.
Trump and his family have made over $3.4 BILLION while in office. We’ve never seen profiteering at this scale – not even close. While costs rise for Americans, Trump is using the White House to rake in as much money for himself as possible.
Trump and Republicans attack unions because they know organized workers are powerful. But let’s be clear: workers built this country—not billionaires. (1/2)
Did you know that if you google for a list of social media sites, Bluesky is not on any list.
Trump sullies and desecrates everything he touches.

The World Bank's investments in East African hospitals were meant to help alleviate poverty. For some, however, those services came at an almost unbearable cost (co-published with @icij.org)
NYT: “When Tennessee’s Republican governor @GovBillLee dispatched troops to support Trump’s crackdown on crime, critics wondered why he didn’t keep them within state lines. Memphis has a murder rate twice DC’s, Nashville’s is higher as well.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Despite the AP framing, President Trump didn’t say anything. Someone operating the president’s Truth Social account typed out that statement. He’s still in hiding
