Weekends. The 40-hour work week. Sick days. That didn't just happen. Organized labor did that. And today, we celebrate how far we've come. And how far we've yet to go to build an economy – and a country – that works for working people.

Good morning blue sky friends, it's a brand new day!

A federal holiday. The White House feed says “stay tuned.” That’s it. No remarks, no leadership, no president. Where is Trump? Why the blackout? And why is the media pretending this silence is normal? @msnbc.com @jaketapper.bsky.social @cnn.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy
WTH??!?!
Something press pool could ask about
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.
Russian-occupied Luhansk. Due to a severe gasoline shortage in the city, widespread fuel theft from vehicle tanks has started. Fuel is being siphoned from parked cars.
Australia’s most coal dependent state enjoys record levels of rooftop PV, and record levels of curtailment of large scale solar and wind.

Hey GOP: You are killing the economy with your policies you dumba**es. Who do you think is going to pay your rent and buy your goods after you wreck the economy? The Middle Class literally supports you and your yachting lifestyle and you are crushing us. Wake TF up.
He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for squashing the beef between China and India as they unite against American tariffs.

Russian finance minister Siluanov said that he doesn't pay for anything at all in China. When asked if everything is paid for by the taxes of Russians, he laughed.

Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
See what a "soft war" of tariffs does to our global partners? It unites them against us and portrays the US as an enemy that must be defended against in the world order. Xi, Putin, Modi signal unity against U.S.-led dominance. www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...
The chaos at the CDC in the wake of last week’s firing of its Director and the resignations of four senior officials is fallout from the latest skirmish in RFK Jr.’s war against vaccines. Make no mistake, RFK Jr. is working hard to take away your vaccines, if he can. Here’s a progress report.

Long the envy of the world for its capabilities and expertise, the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows. @citizencohn.bsky.social on the CDC purge: www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...
The consistent embarrassment is beyond anything that the rational mind can fathom…
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
True dat, but Patel looks more like 😳 😂
Release The E-Files
The country is being run by drug addicts, reality tv stars and fox news hosts.
This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
Nine former CDC chiefs say RFK Jr. is endangering Americans. Amid a measles surge he fired Susan Monarez, installed unqualified advisers, and cut vaccine support. They urge Congress, medical groups, and philanthropy to defend science and public health.
🚨 US medical community warn RFK Jr. is a danger > 9 former CDC Directors, with 100 years of leadership, publish warning in NYT "Time to rally to protect the health of every American" > American Academy of Pediatrics "Deeply troubled & alarmed" > National Nurses Union "It is time for him to go" 🚨
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.
I have really come to loathe RFK Jr. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
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.
“Righteous hellfire” is the epitome of milquetoast phrases, apparently.

You ever get off the toilet and be like “oh shit I need to go to the hospital—wait no I ate beets yesterday”
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

You guys see where this is going? Right?
*Trump* may not be canny enough to be *planning* to weaponize the government in a methodical way, but "there are people behind the scenes...and they know what they're doing." @radiofreetom.bsky.social talks Trump's abuses of power and more with @timmiller.bsky.social:

Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”

If you're looking for a good lesson in PR, optics and crisis management - learn why companies have them. If you saw this moment online where a man stole a hat from a kid that a player gave him - here's what NOT to put out as a public statement. The reply is real. I tracked it down. Absolute knob.

Labor Day northern lights may dazzle parts of U.S. after solar storm
Happy Labor Day! I can’t believe it’s September. We had no direct sunrise today but we had several pre-sunrise configurations, including this very nice display to the north. It’s a narrow vertical so definitely tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
This is nothing else but a hybrid war that Russia wages against Europe Let's name things as they really are:Russia has made an assassination attempt of the President of the European Commission Russia has been jamming GPS-signals over many Eastern Europe countries that are in its immediate vicinity
Good Morning, have a great day! 🥰
Sanders Demands RFK Jr. Resign as Health and Human Services Secretary truthout.org/articles/san...
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
wow
Russian Industrial PMI for August came in at 48,7 point still showing a contraction but not as bad as in July when it was 47 points. www.pmi.spglobal.com/Public/Home/...
RFK Jr. is like the guy you never wanted to have to partner with in science class. He thought he knew the answers and is ultimately the guy who would light his hair on fire, and now he's lighting all of HHS on fire.
Cool, cool, hey, how about human rights and democracy? 🦗 🦗 🦗
Xi Jinping put forward the "global governance" initiative at the SCO summit. "I would like to put forward the global governance initiative and work with all countries to jointly build a more just and equitable global governance system and a community with a shared future for mankind," Xi said.
What will their global governance look like for humanity? Modi persecutes Muslims in India, Xi attacks Uighurs and restricts his fellow citizens, Putin massacres Ukraine and rebel Russian ethnic groups. Their doctrine is whip or ball & chain
They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.
Incompetent

Good to see a bipartisan group of former CDC Directors raise alarms in the NY Times about RFK Jr. dismantling US public health. And I can’t help but feel frustrated that they didn’t do this last year when public health was on the ballot—nor did NYT frame it that way—when we had a chance to stop it.

Just sayin’.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Yet again, more strategic errors or complicit acquiescence to our enemies.

open.substack.com/pub/narativ/... “By imposing 50% tariffs on India while maintaining only 10% on China, Trump has created an economic incentive structure that defies strategic logic. Companies won't return production to America at these tariff levels—they'll simply move back to China… 🤦🏼♀️
