"The mood in Hungary is palpably different than it was a year ago. Not only is everyone talking about Péter Magyar, but people are also more comfortable criticizing Orbán in public." Orbán likes illiberal democracy; but the democracy part might still work.
Illinois strengthened its anti-SLAPP law after a nonsensical court ruling excluded news reporting from the law’s protection. This prevents elites from chilling and punishing "constitutionally protected speech, including journalism," we told @kgosztola.bsky.social.
🚨Regarding the #Pentagon and #SpaceForce announcements: Reps @rokhanna.bsky.social (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) are holding a press conference tomorrow, 9/3, 10:30am, with ten victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking. Link to watch live: youtube.com/live/q6fUosr... 🗣️ Release the Epstein files
Brian Stetler just told CNN that we were memeing about Trump's health this weekend to monetize speculation and make a quick buck on Bluesky. Are we supposed to be getting checks?
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
But I thought the Trump admin was trying to fight crime in DC. Open carry isn’t legal, but they’re going to turn a blind eye? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! 🚨 U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro directed her office to no longer seek felony charges against individuals carrying rifles or shotguns in D.C.
McDonald's CEO says the quiet part loud! Says, we are living in a two tier economy where the rich are getting richer and doing very well. While the middle and lower class are getting poorer and having to skip meals.
COMMENTARY: If this was happening in another nation, we'd call it by name. It's authoritarianism.
Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government. We will follow every thread until there is justice.
Jeffrey Epstein survivors say they haven't had any contact with the DOJ
Why couldn’t the Coast Guard just board the boat leaving Venezuela, arrest the people and get more information on who they’re working for? Why did they have to kill the people?
you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later
Probably not a great month to go out fishing in the Gulf now. The US military might be your judge, jury and executioner.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."
“The Dome of the U.S. Capitol Building stands visible as protesters dressed as handmaids from The Handmaid's Tale march on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.” @gettyimages.com
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US 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?"
something something two weeks tremendous never seen anything like it huge many people saying
DONALD TRUMP LOSES IN VOURT AGAIN!!!!! Everything he is trying to do out of pure insecurity and revenge backfires… #BaByeTrump 👋🏼 #NoPolicedStates #TrumpLosesAgainInCourt #TrumpIsAWalkingTalkingCriminal #Impeach47 #RemoveTrumpNow
Trump: I FEEL GREAT NOTHING IS WRONG HERE LOOK A PHOTO OF ME GOLFING FROM A WEEK AGO Giuliani: I WAS HELPING SOMEONE DONT SPREAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT MY CAR WRECK Trump: EPSTEIN IS OVER HE DIED A LONG TIME AGO GET OVER IT Sure, guys.
Whatever is in the Epstein files must be pretty bad, because the President seems extremely stressed by its content. 🤔 Tomorrow morning, we push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files, and the impeachment of this criminal president. Join us.
🚨NYC never misses a beat! Today is no different.
Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

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.
India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. They’ve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trump’s insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their rise…and our subsequent downfall.
“We have a message for the rest of the nation as well: This is a time to rally to protect the health of every American,” write previous leaders in the C.D.C., either as directors or acting directors under Republican and Democratic administrations. (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
More name changes afoot… Department of Defense = Department of War Department of Education = Department of Keeping You Stupid Center for Disease Control = Center for Crackpot Conspiracies Department of Agriculture = Department of Subsidies for Farmers going broke from tariffs
You guys see where this is going? Right?
🚨 “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.
Love this.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
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
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
Fatality.
California stepping up.
GOP Rep Chuck Edwards is confronted by infuriated constituents at his town hall.
Who voted for war with Venezuela?
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.

Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.
