Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)

18% is embarrassing. It should be no more than 1%.
Graham Greene has died. A Canadian acting icon, he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also won a Grammy, Gemini and Canadian Screen Award, along with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He also earned a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

This kind of thing happens to the best of us but it does seem to be happening a lot more than usual at DOJ
As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle

What a lovely day to spend with my mom, protesting against a Fascist Regime in America. If only Trump could see how much we hate him and his administration. Today, every town and every city was out celebrating Labor Day with signs and flags. We are the real patriots that want to save America 🇺🇸
Chagas disease, long considered only a threat abroad, is established in California and the Southern U.S. It's one of the most insidious diseases you've never heard of, but Chagas is here in California and 29 other states across the U.S. share.newsbreak.com/estpo2jg?s=i16
To be clear: I'm neither a #Newsom champion nor detractor. But facts matter regarding his views and actions on #homelessness in California. There are no easy choices or perfect solutions to this extremely complex issue. Love him or hate him, at least do so based on facts. All links in thread.
This is an insult to all who deserved the honor…
NEW: Counsel for the migrant children say that, as they understand it, all putative class members have now “been deplaned and returned to ORR custody.” As for the delay, they add that they inadvertently overlooked the part of the court’s order requiring them to file a report.

It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
I'm just gonna flip on some corporate media really quick... ABC: ads CNN: ads Back to CNN: Trump's Chicago "immigration enforcement" MSNBC: Protests in Chicago Back to ABC: A "federal judge getting in the way of Trump's immigration crackdown" Back to CNN: Weekend travel Nothing about Trump MIA

#FuckNo New York Times: “In the past several weeks, the rioters and their lawyers have pushed the Trump administration to pay them restitution for what they believe were unfair prosecutions.”
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
He does that because he knows it pisses people off…
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
A lot of people are saying Trump is going to have to get his feet amputated below the cankles.
We currently have no reason to believe Trump is ordering anything. The country could be under Stephen Miller’s rule now.
Starting today, 2.4M Americans, including kids, lose SNAP food benefits. Stores like Freshly’s Market in Mississippi that serve low-income communities expect a 35–45% drop in sales. Children will go hungry & employees at Freshly's lose jobs. Welcome to trickle-down starvation.
Racism isn't a 'black people problem'. It's a White people problem and won't go away until White people acknowledge that fact.
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

No makeup.

Where's his hair? He looks like he's on death's door. He needs to address the media.

This. They must go. Removing them must become a top Congressional priority or the deaths they cause will be on the hands of every member of Congress...and lest they think there be no consequences, those deaths will be mounting up by the time of next year's election.
Get vaccinated while you still can.
NEW: Judge Sooknanan is back at it. She orders DOJ to file at fifth status report to address whether the two children discussed in its previous report have been returned to ORR custody. Status report due at 12 noon today.
With that, I'm signing off for a bit to try and enjoy what's left of Labor Day. If you're just catching up, here's my live coverage of yesterday's hearing: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/emer...
Lots of people with questions about this The government said there were 76 putative class members (children) loaded on planes yesterday But the putative class covered by the judge’s order isn’t limited to kids that were loaded on planes for imminent deportation That’s why the ~600 estimate
I don't know how you do it @sifill.bsky.social, you're brilliant "What is missing from media, from Dems and even from the narratives adopted by some activists as they respond to Trump is a sustained and powerful refusal to play Trump’s power game on his terms" sherrilyn.substack.com/p/emergency-...

This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children. I’d love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at it… it’s so frivolous it’d be laughable if it weren’t so cruel. (Am I wrong??)

Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
Trump IS dying. The question is, how quickly?
A new poll shows Sen. John Cornyn trailing AG Ken Paxton by just 5 pts in the GOP primary — 44% to 39% — a big improvement after months of wider deficits. Cornyn allies have spent millions on TV, and the gap may be narrowing. punchbowl.news/article/camp...
