Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Netanyahu Claims Trump Urged A "Full Force" War With Gaza
A landslide in the middle of a war & famine that was declared last year & has since spread across Sudan. About 25 million people need urgent food aid, according to the UN, while at least 14 million have been forced from their homes. Where is the int’l attention? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/w...
OVER THE WEEKEND: Wisconsin liberal activist and brewer Kirk Bangstad files class-action lawsuit in federal court in Madison, WI over masking of ICE agents. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The real workers of "america".
Platner: I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn’t be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.
JUST IN: In a major blow to Trump, U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer ruled that his troop deployment in California was ILLEGAL www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Yes!!!
Trump is a hell of a carny pitchman, I have to give him that. When a ton of people tune in, he's going to say he's sending troops to Chicago. Probably started the rumor he's sick or dead himself.
He is “Mr. Haney” from the 1960s sitcom Green Acres, a sneaky and notorious conman known for selling overpriced, damaged, or poorly made goods in the fictional town of Hooterville. He is a manipulative but charismatic character who ran many crooked businesses. Anyone remember?
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.

Strong work Marc!
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
Vote her out!!!
The United States has seen 291 mass shootings in 2025. That’s more than one mass shooting every day. This isn’t normal. Weapons of war don’t belong on the streets. We need real action to save lives.
“This administration gutting contracts is un-American,” Everett Kelley, the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said. “I've been involved in this labor movement since 1981, and I've never seen anyone this aggressively attacking federal employees and their unions.”
@velshi.com Here in GEORGIA 14TH DISTRICT OF Marjorie Taylor Greene we have the OPPORTUNITY TO THOW HER OUT!!! RET. BRIGADIER GENERAL SHAWN HARRIS is running for Congress. He answered every question at his town hall this week in ROME GA, NO TAZING!!! He needs support and publicity!!!
True that!
Awesome leadership!
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.
UPDATE: Judge blocks mass transfer of estimated 600 immigrant children from US to Guatemala amid dispute over whether parents have sought their return. DOJ lawyer calls suit 'outrageous' interference, but judge suggests holiday timing of flights is suspicious www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Mini stroke?
Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) are planning to bring survivors of abuse by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell to the Capitol for a press conference the morning of Sept. 3, the day the House returns from August recess.

Miller is scripting unscientific bullcrap
We’re launching a new task force to clear encampments, restore public spaces, and connect people with shelter and services. California is taking action by reducing unsheltered homelessness and outperforming the nation in slowing this crisis.
That is positive leadership!

Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
All bullshit
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia is has just asked a judge for a GAG ORDER against Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and their subordinates.
We are here Anne.. keep reporting!
People are spreading news according to values and interests.. a good thing.. I follow you because I value your opinion!
NEW: A federal judge ordered an Arkansas school district to take down Ten Commandments displays in its classrooms following our lawsuit.
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
VOmit worthy hypocrisy
Judge Tosses D.C. Case From Trump Prosecutor—Calls It Total Garbage
Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
He is a political shill… guns, and mental health are both contributing in addition to other variables… damn Republican hypocrites
Jobless Johnson is what should be
Why have a State Department bureau on the Middle East if Trump and Secretary Rubio are taking their orders from Netanyahu? We can save a lot of money by cutting out the middle man.
Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner joined us to discuss his campaign and platform. @grahamformaine.bsky.social youtu.be/8cWA5aF1fXs

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
Sec. Kennedy’s warped political agenda is corrupting our protection against disease. His destructive discharges of CDC leaders are yet another attempt to replace science with zealotry.
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Scientist: “My findings are meaningless if taken out of context.” Media: Scientist claims “Findings are meaningless.” It tracks.
".. military leaders privately questioned whether the troops had received proper training and warned of the 'far-reaching social, political and operational' risks of aiding law enforcement, according to a Reuters review of military records .." @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/mil...

NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
I concur!

@merkley.senate.gov and I were just in Israel to discuss the situation in Gaza and press to end the war and return all the hostages. We visited a World Food Program site in Israel with enough food to feed everyone in Gaza for 3 weeks. The Netanyahu government's weaponization of hunger must stop.
Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Firing RFK Jr would unburden a lot of overworked mitochondria in this country
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
Hey Ben… We the people are standing up for Democracy in a big way… resistance comes in many forms… Democracy matters 🙏
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Uh oh
Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
Guns are the number one killer of American kids. More than cancer. More than car accidents. More than drowning. More than all of it combined. They’re dying because politicians decided guns mattered more. These deaths are not accidents. They are preventable. Every single one of them.
Uh oh

Shuler: It’s just one more example of what I’ve heard from workers… Where is the common sense? Where are the lower costs on my groceries, my rent, my medicine? Why are my job, my family, my future, my community, the services I count on—suddenly being threatened and ripped away?
