“Now, as Scott Bessent made clear in that video, the plan from the Administration was always to delay a SCOTUS hearing until October so that by the time it ruled in January, the country would become so reliant on tariffs that SCOTUS would uphold the tariffs even if it recognized they were unlawful”

This is powerful. Nine former CDC leaders just came together to defend SCIENCE. Maybe it’s time we LISTEN TO THEM— not the loud voices spreading MISINFORMATION. Science saves lives. Lies cost them www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Hard evidence as to the real impact of anti-woke propaganda. The video takes me back to the early '60 and the vile racist violence meted out against those taking part in the civil rights movement. As difficult as it was to watch, I thank you for posting the video, Christopher.

Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs. Remember when Trump said he would bring down the cost of groceries? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared
Vaccine sceptic RFK Jr has called for the retraction of a Danish study that found no link between aluminium in vaccines and chronic diseases in children — a rare move... “Kennedy has demonstrated that he wants the scientific literature to bend to his will”, says Oransky. Scientific American
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.
Don't be fooled by RW propaganda. Blue State partisan gerrymandering is the ONLY implement in the defense of democracy toolbox that can offset massive Republican Congressional map rigging. Vote "Yes" on CA Prop 50. bradblog.com?p=15485

🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
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.

Seven years ago, a study revealed that #MedicareForAll would save $5.1 trillion over ten years. It was steadfastly ignored by corporate money compromised politicians on both sides of the isle. truthout.org/articles/new...
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
Bernie is right. Health care should be based on medical science. I’m glad I found out I needed a measles vaccine this summer. And it’s right to provide shingles shots to seniors and vaccines for kids. Let’s focus on health care costs instead of upending the CDC. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
Labor has always been on the frontlines in the fight against fascism – and today is no different. Unions are fighting Trump’s cruel agenda in the courts and in the streets, and workers across industries are standing up for each other. There’s courage – and hope – in solidarity.

It’s pretty simple: - AI is driving electricity demand up - The Trump Administration is restricting new electricity supply from being built - When demand goes up and supply goes down, you pay more for electricity.

I hope you find my new book helpful for understanding the time we’re in, how we combat the bullies, and why I believe so passionately that we will succeed. Here's a bit more on why I wrote it.

RFK Jr's problem is that he was born in the wrong century. He would have fit right in with the inquisitors of the Catholic Church who wanted to try Galileo for heresy in 1633.
Let that sink in.
On a special Labor Day weekend Coffee Klatch, I reflect on what I’ve witnessed during my time in politics and how it connects to our struggle today. We also discuss Trump’s continued occupation, not just of American cities, but the American economy. https://youtu.be/v5mmLwI_KmA
BREAKING: Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office. “Something's wrong with this president!" Who agrees?
Trump's mishandling of COVID during his first term regarded as the source of 40% of COVID deaths. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...
Trump & Kennedy, instead of attacking diseases are attacking the scientists who keep us safe, exactly what anyone who watched Trump’s performance during Covid, is familiar with Kennedy’s anti-science views, or read Project 2025 could have anticipated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...
DOGE isn't fighting fraud — it's potentially exposing Americans to more of it. And now a Social Security Administration whistleblower is resigning after apparently being punished for trying to warn the public. Nothing about this fake government agency is "efficient."

Two Northern VA school systems are suing the Education Department to challenge Trump admins threats to their federal funding over their policies for transgender students’ access to restrooms and locker rooms.
Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”
Precisely!

It’s time to take serious action at the State Capitol to address gun violence.
Actually the appellate court remanded the case to the trial court with directions that it redetermine whether to reissue the injunction, and, if so, the scope of the injunction.
t seems to me that RFK Jr was just born at the wrong time. He would have fit right in with the inquisitors of the Catholic Church who wanted to try Galileo for heresy.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
