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.
The theme from Jaws.
Today we celebrated Labor Day by helping an older couple empty boxes, move furniture, and other chores from their recent move. Glad to labor that way!
Thank you on this labor day!!
Nine former directors of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joined forces to warn Health Secty Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is “endangering every American’s health." RFK Jr MUST be charged with manslaughter. Dem State AGs must charge him for killing Americans.

Wanted to share my interview of @johnfugelsang.bsky.social about his great new book "Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds." youtu.be/5YL-cInSyAI?...
Tulsi Gabbard is *very obviously* a foreign intelligence asset and I hope we all live long enough to see her tried and convicted for it.

A former federal prosecutor revealed the "atmospheric damage" that President Donald Trump's latest move could cause if it is successful.
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Wanted to share some of the most compelling interviews of the week from my show that are both informative and entertaining from Calif AG Rob Bonta to Andy Borowitz to "What just Happened?!" segment. If you have time this weekend here is some good stuff: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/calif-ag-r...
Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
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:
California stepping up.
Do they think that by hiding him they'll stave off the inevitable?
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
Unafraid to speak truth to power, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics Dr. Susan Kressly joins @vinguptamd.bsky.social on Meidas Health for a powerful discussion on truth, conviction, and her deep commitment to ensuring optimal childhood health for the nation amid chaos at the CDC.
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
Did it break his jaw?
President Trump is cutting services for veterans across the country. @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social and I both served in uniform and know firsthand how much our servicemembers sacrificed. That’s why we held a veteran town hall in Raleigh — to hear from them directly and fight back together.
"Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone is a powerful anthem of unity, highlighting that despite differences, all people are equal and should coexist peacefully. Its messages challenged prejudice and celebrated inclusivity, as the band was one of the first major integrated rock groups.
After 35 years, spouse & i still hold hands on our walk. Sweet story.
Senator Wyden stated that he has proof of $1.5 billion in wire xfers to Epstein by Trump via Russian banks. Epstein knew about Trump/Putin/Russian mafia and their child trafficking via Trump properties and planes and that’s why he got bumped off in jail. 🤷 www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/b...

Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
Netflix co-founder and Democratic megadonor Reed Hastings has given $2 million to help California redraw its House maps in the latest indication of the campaign’s outsize stakes.
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
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!

The Supreme Court ruled today to allow the Trump administration’s reductions to National Institutes of Health funding, a move tied to the federal government’s broader effort to attack diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

I don't think you can really say that Dems walking out of Texas and going back was pointless when it seems to have given California the time to move the ball on their retaliatory measures.
Two turtles go in, one turtle comes out.
Hey Netflix, now might be a good time to add Roots (1977 miniseries) to the livestream library. A dose of Kunta Kinte is what America needs right now. #history #remember #museum
After mass nationwide boycotts against Target for choosing to end their DEI (diversity equity inclusion) program, they have lost over $12B in sales and the CEO has also officially resigned as a result. Love it, power of the people. 💙👊

Five years ago, a very close relative died of a glioblastoma brain tumor at the age of 13. Today would have been his 19th birthday. And now comes news that an mRNA vaccine is being trialed to treat this very (incurable) malady. Fingers crossed. mbi.ufl.edu/2024/05/01/v...
ProPublica identified 95 Facebook pages that regularly post made-up headlines designed to draw engagement — and, often, stoke political divisions. The pages, most of which are managed by people overseas, have a total of more than 7.7M followers. (Published Feb.)
Garcia: What I can say is that I want the American public to hear what Bill Barr said in his deposition — about how he views the current DOJ’s actions, and Todd Blanche’s actions as they relate to this deal with Ms. Maxwell. The American public should know what was said
This reads like an invitation for MAGA extremists like the Pizza Gate shooter to open-carry in DC.
An executive order isn’t a law.
We had to scour regular news sites to try and find this topic. It speaks VOLUMES about Israel's death grip on our news sources and fear of Israel! - On the issue, $10,000 to rape American children and escape to Israel, NO PROBLEM!
📌Re-upping this one tonight on the news the grotesque America-attacking Trump will minimize slavery in our museums. 📌Listen to me, dammit: EVERYTHING this 79-year-old, dying lowlife does is to throw red meat to his racist base who elected him across the country. 📌It's the racism, stupid.

Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
Vaccines don’t prevent infection. Vaccines are meant to produce immunological memory and antibody production, so that when you get infected, your immune system can rapidly respond to eliminate the pathogen and prevent serious complications, including death. Vaccines don’t cause autism!

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

ICE is targeting delivery drivers in DC, and MPD is helping them. 📌 ICE is not police 📌 DC law requires uniformed officers to show their badge and nameplate while on duty And Uber needs to do better by its drivers!
Two big takeaways from yesterday. First, by “joking” that if the U.S. were at war in 2028 there would be “no more elections,” brushing aside the constitutional mandate for regularly scheduled votes. Then later, when a hot mic caught him telling French President Macron that
