road trip to new mexico....
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.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

What a ridiculous person.
Plump's fucking bad shit crazy
This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. A Labor Day reminder of the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights that Trump and his thugs are trying to strip away.
A good weekend to remember that unions were the thing that gave us this holiday. The forty hour workweek, work place safety regulations and laws, and ensure pay increases despite federal stagnation. This is the worker's holiday.
Gerrymandering takes time to overcome.
NC MAGA supermajority brought us: 50th in workers’ rights; 49th in per student spending on education. Growth industries: environmentally harmful coastal real estate development and online sports betting.
Why is Trump honoring J6 rioter Ashli Babbitt and not Capital Police Officer Brian Sicknick — both lost their lives: Babbitt attacking The Capitol. Sicknick protecting The Capitol. Can anyone explain?
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
Nearly 70% of Americans support labor unions. Why? Because more and more people know that unions ensure workers get higher paychecks, safer working conditions, and a real voice in both the workplace and our democracy. It's what every worker deserves.
The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
We have a path to win the House AND the Senate in 2026. Fight. Organize. A better country is possible.

Father Michael Louis Pfleger a priest at the Sabina Catholic Church, a Black parish in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood has a message for Trump! Before you dare speak about any violence in Chicago, look into your mirror, and address the violence coming from the White House! 🔥
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
Totally Agree. It almost killed me to listen, but listen I did. Deadly serious.

And yet there’s Grandpa, sittin’ on the porch cruising. Curious.
Just visited Rwanda. Amazing story of the genocide, and the aftermath is more hopeful than you may think. This is precisely the political rhetoric that enabled and encouraged people to hack a million of their neighbors to death with machetes.
Iowa tonight is exactly why Republicans are redrawing their maps.
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat Catelin Drey FLIPS Iowa SD-1 — a district Trump won by 11.5 points in 2024 — defeating Republican Christopher Prosch in a landslide special election and breaking the GOP supermajority.

NC Genl Assembly voting on veto override today on immigration bill. Sanity demands that Carla Cunningham vote no on the bill again, or prepare to see ICE enforcement dictating local law enforcement, including on college campuses.
They can both be important news. Threatening the independence of the Fed has global economic repercussions, yes.
Moderna’s latest COVID-19 vaccine is both approved and ‘made in Canada’
If any previous President tried to fire a member of the Fed he would have been impeached and removed from office in 72 hours.
That one person in the zombie movie who doesn't tell the rest of the group they got bitten.
Make Sure Everyone Knows 😊💙 HOLY S**T look at this: Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott just quietly disclosed stock trades a year late – worth $26 MILLION – on companies HE LEGISLATED. 😳 This is corrupt to its core, and he's hoping no one will notice. You know what to do.

🚨BREAKING: 3rd Circuit REJECTS RNC motion to pause ruling requiring Pennsylvania counties to count undated/wrongly dated ballots. This means counties cannot reject undated and wrongly dated ballots while the case continues on appeal. Congrats to our clients DSCC and DCCC!
BREAKING: In a massive win for democracy, a Utah judge struck down the GOP’s gerrymandered congressional map. Utah voters demanded fairer maps and politicians must now deliver.

Today is the National Park Service’s birthday! 🥳🏞️ You know what would be a great birthday gift? Not firing staff or cutting funds from the agency responsible for keeping our public lands pristine and accessible!

This is 100% correct.
My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.
On a megayacht somewhere off Bali, the billionaire Harlan Crow, with barely veiled but increasing frustration, tries to explain what the Federal Reserve does to Clarence Thomas.
A federal judge warned Kari Lake, an outspoken Trump ally who oversaw the effective shutdown of Voice of America, that she could be held in contempt for failing to comply with his directive to resume broadcasts at the taxpayer-funded news outlet.
The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system. The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.
Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, officially creating the National Park Service to protect and preserve America’s natural wonders and historic treasures “for the enjoyment of this and future generations.”

Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
Let’s be clear about what is happening: This man is being punished — and disappeared — because he embarrassed our pretender king. They trumped up a criminal case against him because he was embarrassing.
We’re waiting, Jake.
What can Democrats do to communicate better with regular Americans? Josh Barro and Ross Douthat drop by to explain.
At $1.2M per mile—$500M total, requiring repainting every ~3 yrs, they’re painting only the north side (our side) of the border wall black to make it “too hot to climb.” Engineers say it makes no difference. To quote Dickens, “The most wasteful of times, the dumbest of times.”

Whoopsy
Union made in the US
It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
The plan was always martial law. To crush opposition, bypass every safeguard, and rule unchecked. DC showed the blueprint. Blue states and cities are next. Democracy is on life support.
open.substack.com/pub/lilscien... WORST ADMINISTRATION EVER
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this incredible tribute. I can only say I'm honored, flattered, and humbled—and, of course, deeply grateful to everyone who made this accolade possible. I pledge to do my utmost to live up to it. 🙏🏼🤗
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
China builds out 214 giga watts of solar capacity and we spend billions rounding up landscapers and farmworkers. Ya. We're serious.
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.
Pam Bondi sounds like a Parker Posey character.
This!

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
