The ones screaming for zero separation of church and state are the same ones losing their minds when anyone from the church says anything they disagree with politically.
Rural communities and people with disabilities will have even more limited access to health care. Families with low incomes who rely most heavily on community clinics and health departments will have fewer resources available to them. Children will lose access to lifesaving vaccines due to cost.
Today is the first day of public trading for Trumpās crypto scam.
Trump spent Labor Day promoting what he called a āGolden Age,ā but the claims being pushed donāt hold up. The White House circulated talking points on social media boasting of $8 trillion in new tariff revenue, $4 trillion in deficit reduction,

He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.

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
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a āfinancierā? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. Iāve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

The government is lying to it can dump 76 Guatemalan kids.
Suggesting that China - who is the main enabler of Russiaās genocidal war - should be part of a āpeacekeepingā mission to Ukraine, is beyond stupid. The level of incompetence in the American administration is staggering. You donāt ask the rapist to protect the victim. Unless youāre Trump.
Trump *never* stays in DC on a long weekend (or almost any weekend.) Why did he stay there on this one? Shouldn't he be at Bedminster or Mar-a-lago?
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I canāt overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
Well done MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And for those wanting data data data - yikes, this is a scarily long laundry list of how Trump has stripped away protections, freedom, and $$$ from American workers.

This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
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.

People should probably prepare for the fact that ACIP is likely to recommend against the MMR vaccine in the midst of the largest measles outbreak in who knows how long. If you want to know just how death culty things are about to be.

Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
This seems exceptionally unhinged, even for Trump.
Trump said tonight he is going to issue an executive order purporting to require enforcement of voter ID rules: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u... The president has no such authority to order how elections are conducted.
it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine
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.
Theyāre doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
Guess what. If you donāt like it, donāt buy it. Problem solved. Sheesh.
If you donāt believe that Trumpās authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:
And Amazon will start seeing by-pass devices!
It seems to me one of the best arguments to the court is that if this is truly a national emergency, the presidentās own party controls Congress but has done nothing to address it with legislation, so how can it possibly be an emergency?
REP. BUDDY CARTER: What eroded confidence in the CDC was the covid vaccine BEDINGFIELD: Who was president in 2020?
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss
trump can issue as many executive orders as he wants, perhaps coverage should reflect the fact that a lot of these have the legal force of a child's wishlist for santa
EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!!ā We know Trump is still stuck on his 2020 loss, but election laws are controlled by the states, and an executive order on this has no real force. At the end of the day, itās just a piece of paper with no real meaning.
After this administration hangs a portrait of Robert E. Lee at West Point, perhaps they could put up a nice one of Al Capone at the FBI. Or Mary Mallon at HHS.

NEW: Many of the unaccompanied minors who Trump is trying to traffic to Guatemala today are in foster care - some of which seem to be Christian facilities. These 10 represent a putative class of nearly 600 children nationwide. Our government is trafficking children.
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.

This is just sad. Weāve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.
The DOJ is telling the court that all unaccompanied children Trump is sending to Guatemala have parents or guardians in that country who have requested their children be returned to them. The plaintiffs are saying that's not at all true. You can read the back and forth here:
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
I guess he changed hats and wonāt go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also canāt get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.

He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
RFK Jr.'s family tried to warn us beforehand, of his total unsuitability; due to years of his severe drug abuse, mental health issues, & personal instability! But we were warned, & knew about Trump ahead of time too. So here we are, all of America reaping the disasters ahead.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
On his first day back in the White House, Trump granted clemency to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. That pardon gave them their freedom and even seemed to satisfy their initial calls for revenge.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Hi. Iām the executive director of the organization that had the honor of hosting the FEMA Katrina Declaration and I can confirm this is a lie. NICE TRY, KRISTI! @standupforscience.bsky.social @atrupar.com
The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.

Itās time for that George Clooney Op-Ed expressing concern about Trumpās healthā¦
You actually can compensate people injured by rare but real vaccine side effects, *and* promote widespread vaccination. We've been doing it since a 1980s law that modernized liability for vaccine manufacturers. Don't let RFK Jr. "fix" it. @CitizenCohn:
DOGE wasnāt a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.
Trumpās movement, just like his health, is deteriorating. MAGA is furious that he's been lying to them, covering up a huge pedophilia scandal. That's why the GOP is scrambling trying to cheat and pass every agenda while Trump is flailing, because they know their time is running out.
Republican Rep. Barry Moore was heckled so badly at his Alabama town hall that he literally left out the back door in the middle of the event. Moore didn't offer concluding remarks or even bid good night to the rowdy crowd as they chanted "Shame!" during his exit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

BOOM. The federal appeals court rules Trump's tariffs illegal, because they are. There's no national emergency, and so the power to tariff a country rests with Congress. Trump admin has lost at every stage of the process, but stay tuned for the Supremes to chime in.
Liberals: āWe could try to DO some things to reduce gun violence; āthoughts and prayersā isnāt enough.ā Republicans: āOutrage! Disgrace! Theyāre attacking prayer.ā Thereās no need to be polite or defensive in response to this. Invoking faith as an excuse to shun responsibility deserves no respect.
