🧵The "Climate Working Group" at Departnent of Energy was Steve Koonin, Judith Curry, John Christy, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer. They are climate contrarians, akin to the antivax scientists RFK Jr put into study the vaccine-autism link. 1/ www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...
Where is the transparency from our trash white supremacy media, Why are they ignoring Trump's obvious mental decline? Why is no one asking for his medical records? The felon is the oldest person to ever serve as president" and legacy media is not talking abt it, President Biden was treated like shit
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
Pritzker today: "When did we become a country where it's okay 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?" Amen.
So the right wing Polish president who wants reparations from Germany and denies Ukraine access to the EU until they “return” the remains of those killed in Volyn is visiting the WH tomorrow. Prepare for a wave of anti Ukrainian narrative.
Every U.S. citizen, every U.S. military person, every U.S. law enforcement officer, is obligated morally and ethically to defend and uphold our Constitution. We are the Constitution or we are nothing. Full stop.
And I share it!
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."

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
I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
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
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?"
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.
See through it.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February? Color me shocked. Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.
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
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: "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?"
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.
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
NEW! @stuartpstevens.bsky.social talks about the absurdity of talking about what is wrong with the Democratic party when the GOP has completely abdicated it's role and has become an extremist movement. "You need to go out there and fight and wrap yourself in what is really American"
"It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try and disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear, the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here." JB Pritzker

It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:
😳…is this what voting will be like…😳
@colorado.gov time to fight back. Enough is enough. Get some guidance from @govpritzker.illinois.gov or @governor.ca.gov
The US military will conduct a flyover of the White House and wider DC at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday). Epstein’s victims will be holding a press conference on Capitol Hill around the same time.
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.

It's an honor to earn the endorsement of the Bronx Democratic Party and the elected officials who fight for this borough every day. Families in the Bronx are being crushed by the affordability crisis. As Mayor, I’ll deliver for them and all New Yorkers.
The federal government’s bid to gather voter records from across the country is yet another attempt to undermine U.S. elections. bit.ly/4mK6qSe
The Founders wrote the Constitution; not the Apostles. They added the Bill of Rights; not the Ten Commandments. Their intent was Freedom of Religion. It was not Control by Religion. They created a Democracy; not a Theocracy. Christianity is not a political party.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
Felon/GOP’s politically motivated military occupation, like what you would expect from a hostile enemy nation, is an ATTACK on USA prosperity! Blue states/cities are the economic engine, providing the MAJORITY of funding for red states/cities! Crime rates are higher in red states/cities/rural areas!

If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.

Happy Labor Day! Matt Meyer, the Democratic governor of my blue state, celebrated the holiday by vetoing an important bill that would have protected workers from one of the most common forms of wage theft (eg being reclassified as an "independent contractor"). Off to my union picnic!
Trump announces he will award Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom. If you are corrupt...a criminal...and just an overall dirt bag....your odds of getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump...skyrocket.

You can’t vote your way out of regressive fascism, that said voting is not useless. It’s a twist on a tourniquet, it helps tighten the wound so the body doesn’t die, however it won’t permanently stop the bleeding on its own. Every action counts and all put together you’ve got a shot at victory. #3E
Resistance is not a single action but a flurry of actions. Create: Voting blocs Protest blocs Legal blocs Mutual aid blocs Medical blocs Education blocs Self defense blocs Social media defense blocs Every action counts if taken in the same direction. #3E
While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E
Foreign-funded white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and affiliated criminal groups orchestrated a series of anti-immigration rallies across Australia under the banner “March for Australia.”
On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.

“LIKE A BROKEN RECORD” Now that the @nytimes is reporting Modi and Trump had a falling out over Trump’s lie that he deserves credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire, we re-submit to you this clip of an Indian anchor calling him out months ago — even as 🇺🇸 media wouldn’t.
BREAKING: Trump announces that Rudy Giuliani will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Note that Giuliani has been charged with felonies in two different states, including racketeering and has been found liable for over $100 million in damages.

Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)

I was at a prof. sporting event at the Navy Yard in D.C. today. Passed multiple Nat. Grd. members fully kitted out with long arms. It wasn't "normal" as we've been doing this for years. It felt dystopian. It's NOT supposed to be like this in the U.S. I was federal law enforcement. This isn't OK.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

This is now two consecutive popes who have loudly stood against fascism and general malfeasance by the far-right -- both elected, in part, by conservative cardinals within the Catholic Church. It's almost as though God is trying to communicate something here.
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.
I wish this was surprising, but Alberta (and Saskatchewan to a lesser degree) have been sliding hard into social conservatism for a while now. It doesn't matter to them how bad they make things, or how much people suffer. Their governments cover up their corruption and mismanagement with this.
I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…
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

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
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.
