JD Vance rehashed the same “mental health epidemic” justification for the horrific shooting in MN this week. Yes, America has an unmet mental health crisis. So do other countries. We have a mass shooting problem unlike any other country It’s the guns: www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/glob...
The FDA has approved new COVID-19 booster shots for this fall, but with certain limitations. MSNBC medical contributor @vinguptamd.bsky.social breaks down what the approval means and offers guidance for those considering or in need of the vaccine.

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.

Do you know why I don't know what diapers cost? I don't have small children. I can tell you what incontinence pads for a woman cost because of Charlotte's illnesses. It was several hundred dollars each month. The case I'm making is that elected officials have to listen to people.
Florida Rep Carlito Gimenez? Marco Rubio spilled the beans; it's not about drugs or freeing Venezuelans from Maduro. Maduro wants Essequiba. Guyana currently controls it. Exxon owns the rights. Trump and Republicans' dependence on fossil fuels and undercutting green energy is the problem. #DCFL
Putin has been hard to bargain with, but many familiar with peace negotiations say Trump fixer Steve Witkoff has made talks even more difficult.
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.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the latest target of fury by a controversial foreign leader hostile to the United States.

Marco Rubio sold his soul for just a little bit more power.
#OpEd Putin refuses to understand that that Ukrainian society and elites will never accept the capitulation Moscow is trying to impose on them, writes Tatiana Stanovaya.
German Chancellor: Ukrainian capitulation means "tomorrow we're next" Friedrich Merz cautioned that Ukrainian surrender would create a cascade of Russian attacks on neighboring countries, ultimately reaching Germany euromaidanpress.com/2025/08/31/g...
This is yet another act of terror. A murder of a famous and important Ukrainian politician is a conscious attempt to scare Ukrainians and force them into a humiliating capitulation. Eternal memory and eternal glory to Andrii Parubii, a great Ukrainian.
TESLA DINER @ W HOLLYWOOD, 5-8pm AUG 30 SAT #teslatakedown #indivisible #musk #doge #coup @teslatakedown.com
Tesla is circling the drain in Europe--and actually everywhere. The stock has only lost 17% this year so far but will be lower soon. STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Registrations of new Tesla cars in Sweden fell 84% in August from a year earlier, to 210 vehicles, data from Mobility Sweden showed on Monday.
#Tesla will no longer accept their own #CyberTruck as a trade-in
Tesla said it had no data from a fatal Autopilot crash. A hacker found it. Back in 2019, a Tesla on Autopilot crashed in Key Largo, killing a couple. Tesla told the family there was no crash data available.
Morning Bluesky. Tesla had its seventh straight monthly decline in European sales in July, dropping 40% to 8,837. Chinese rival BYD surged past Tesla with 225% sales increase, to 13,503.

He doesn't want them to see that he parks his golf cart 3ft from his ball, barely walks, how he crawls in/out of his cart & to avoid more footage of how bad he plays. Also doesn't want people to see the side deals he's making & who he is meeting out in the middle of the course away from everyone.
Trump is now trying to dump undocumented immigrants in Libya—a war-torn hellscape known for slave markets—using U.S. military planes. No Libyan government agreed. A judge blocked it. This isn’t policy. It’s state-sponsored human dumping. #TrumpWatch #DeportationCruelty www.cnn.com/2025/05/07/p...
In today’s immigration news: Trump administration plans to send immigrants to Libyan detention centers; judge orders refugees admitted, criticizes government “jiggery-pokery”; boondoggle at Guantanamo; U.S. intelligence agencies debunk Alien Enemies Act claims; more.
Wow: 78 year old congressman Jerry Nadler decides not to seek reelection, saying Biden fiasco showed need for "generational change." “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that."
BREAKING Congressman Jerry Nadler will not be seeking re-election. This opens up a very prominent seat — Nadler represents a big chunk of Manhattan. Full Story: bit.ly/3JAv88W
Local news: If you watch it through, it sounds like the police are referring to this as a “fight.” This wasn’t a fight. It was a race-based attack. On August 16, 2025, a 14 YO Black teen from Platteville, Wisconsin, was attacked by white teens at a party in the town of Pulaski, Iowa County. 3/4
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4
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

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
One Tiktoker traced a photo in an online article posted yesterday by USA today to a photo from 2019. There are matching partial vehicle license plates, same clothing worn by Trump.
NEWS: ACLU pushes to revive criminal contempt proceedings against Trump officials
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.
Trump is evil but he is largely irrelevant, he’s not really in charge and is part of a larger criminal network. If Trump were to die, the MAGA network would just prop up another figurehead. Trump is a representative of oligarchy not the head of it.
“The Constitution gives the president no explicit authority to regulate elections. Rather, it gives states the power to decide the rules of elections, oversee voting and try to prevent fraud. It gives Congress the ability to override state laws on voting.”
A fortuneteller tells Trump: “You will die on the biggest and most celebrated national holiday.” Trump replies: “How do you know?”
Stephen Miller is REALLY bad at pretending to be Trump. Like this doesn’t even almost sound like a Trump tweet

Congratulations to a true champion of reproductive freedom @debraforgeorgia! The runoff in District 21 is September 23. We need y’all to get out to vote, and bring your family and neighbors.
Republicans in the Texas House have introduced another way to try to harm patients, providers, and manufacturers in the state. HB 7 would allow anyone to sue a manufacturer, distributor, or provider of medication abortion—even without proof of care being provided.
Reminder that ALL workers deserve reproductive freedom! Happy Labor Day!

Our latest #BankingOnClimateChaos report found that 64 global banks poured $869 BILLION into fossil fuels in 2024 alone. Meanwhile, the CEOs of the top 6 fossil fuel banks earned a combined half-BILLION dollars from 2022-2024. We demand an end to profit over people! https://bit.ly/4fYu8rh
The CP2 methane gas terminal is already a controversial project due to the disastrous effects it will have on our climate & communities. Now, just weeks into construction, sludge is ending up where it's not supposed to be, affecting local fisherfolk & key ecosystems. #StopLNG https://bit.ly/4lTB7TA
One side-effect of climate change is the growing habitat for warm-weather disease vectors. As disease-bearing insects move their territories northward, the diseases formally restricted to the tropics move into the US.
“While a full AMOC (Gulf Stream) collapse and its impact is likely only realised after 2100, the first, almost half of the associated impacts, may already come around 2050.” The only mitigation - less reliance on fossil fueled energy.

Honestly, do people in Europe still hope Russia’s war will stop at Ukraine’s borders? How many alarms must go off before the danger is clear?
In Kharkiv, children began the school year in underground classrooms. Windowless shelters built for survival. No child should ever have to attend such a school, but we have no choice.
#Covid news updates: US & UK surges accelerate, all metrics rising, no CDC wastewater data for 2nd week. Ireland hospitals slammed; Spain vacation spots selling out of Covid tests; Japan in 3rd month of surge. Arrest made: Hollywood Covid Testing LLC was fake. More: www.patreon.com/posts/covid-...
US COVID-19 levels continue to climb gradually. "Over the past week, test positivity for SARS-CoV-2, rose from 10.2% to 11.2%." "SARS-CoV-2 detections in wastewater are "very high" in Alabama, Hawaii, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Washington, DC."
Checking, but if you're doing stuff in WA, there's an uptick in the Covid wastewater tracker: www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...
COVID in wastewater. Another late summer pickup www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...
My dear friend was visiting from the US. I mentioned how many people I know in our area with Covid this summer and she gasped. "You have Covid here still? I can't believe you still have Covid!" I checked her city wastewater report. They definitely still have Covid. They just don't know it. 😬
Cleveland Ohio has a Chalk Festival from Sept 20-31 outside the Museum of Art! Anyone can participate… Wouldn’t it be great to have such festivals all over America - art in protest. Art in support of freedom of expression. Make America Inclusive Again.
Concord, NH lit up today with the truth: when the people rise, no billionaire class can break our spirit. Voices rang out: The people united will never be divided. We’re done with crumbs while the rich feast. We’re all in for #WorkersOverBillionaires ✊🔥
“”Invisible labor” is a term coined to describe the countless, necessary duties (primarily) women take on both at home and in the workplace. It often takes the form of unrewarded and unrecognized emotional work and project management that quietly prevents the home and office from falling apart”
Let’s understand that the increases of life expectancy in the 20th century have been because of labor laws and benefits first, which allowed for the domino effect of better wages, improved nutrition and time for higher education and finally generational wealth.
“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
Attorney Norm Eisen, who is helping represent Federal Reserve Board chair Lisa Cook, tells MSNBC they'll be filing an additional legal argument on behalf of Cook in court on Tuesday
When you go to work, you should receive a livable wage. You should have health care and workplace protections. You should be able to join a union without fear of retaliation. These are the common sense demands of the labor movement. It is essential. Happy Labor Day!
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
“A German peatland thinktank…called for the EU to establish a fund…to finance planning and rewetting 100,000 hectares of land. “Naturally wet and rewetted peatlands are impassable for tanks, slowing down troop movements and forcing predictable corridors that are easier to defend,””
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
SOLIDARITY! UFW President Teresa Romero joined thousands as they marched with @thelafed.bsky.social at the Los Angeles/Long Beach #LaborDay2025 march. Labor knows when we fight we win. #SolidaritySeason
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥

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
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Notice how the Rednecks always prove how ignorant they are?
I was just listening to a Charlie Kirk rant about how millions of people in the USA don't speak English ("unity is our strength," he says), then uses India as an example of a "unified country." Buddy I have news for you about the linguistic diversity of India.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
This story just got even worse: Firefighters question leaders’ role in Washington immigration raid Wildfire veterans believe top officials on the fire sent their crews into an ambush
They're releasing the Epstein files?
Whatever evil he is planning for Venezuela, it won't make the Epstein files go away. Nothing ever will. Release the Epstein files! Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein
Michelle Obama: kids should have healthier school lunches RFK Jr: maybe if we let the plague run wild we can build a master race Media: wow these are the same thing
Michelle Obama: “Eat more veggies and exercise!” RFK Jr: **bans vaccines** Tom Bartlett: “These are the same thing.”
I think the rapid decline traces, at least in part, to the Epstein files coverup. It’s the first time Trump hasn’t been able to retake the narrative and he doesn’t know how to handle it.
