180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
The Trump family’s historic, obscene corruption continues. The right wing freaked out over Hunter for allegedly making a fraction of this, meanwhile the Trumps are doing this all out in the open and they are silent. 🦗 🦗 www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Please don’t get your hopes up for this 2 PM announcement. He is failing, it’s just going to be him throwing a shiny coin to distract us with something new.

@wired.com sat down with @theonion.com ‘s CEO, @bencollins.bsky.social and what struck me in this was at one point they both talk about how they’re the few remaining that are still covering what’s happening. A tech magazine and a satire site. Neither anticipated how easily media would fold. /
RFK Jr. will testify before a senate panel this week. PSA: be sure to turn on close captioning before watching.
Let me see if I understand this: Trump, the “anti-war President,“ will be renaming the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.” Got it.

"Of the 384 cases filed through August 28 against the Trump administration, 130 have led to orders blocking at least part of the president’s efforts, and 148 cases await a ruling, according to a review by Just Security." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Hark! An announcement cometh! Whatever could it be? “We’ve made a huge mistake, all federal funds restored!” “RFK Jr is a danger to us all, he’s fired!” What would you really want to hear?
Snuggle season is back in full force
Uncertainty acts like a tax on growth. Firms delay capex and hiring; households save, not spend. Policy whiplash raises hurdle rates and widens possible outcomes. That’s why today’s uncertainty is an economic problem, not just a vibe problem.

Mr “I want a Nobel Peace Prize” will be making an announcement today. I think it’s that he’s renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War. This will hopefully take your mind off tomorrow’s press conference with Epstein’s victims. #ProudBlue
it wasnt covid restrictions that turned people crazy, it was a group of immoral cynical right wing media grifters who took advantage of their scared followers to get clicks and subscribers and make money

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good morning, friends! Many of us are feeling tired and weary of fighting to save our country. We are angry, scared and overwhelmed. We must acknowledge what these emotions are give them a name. It is grief. Let’s bring joy back. #Resist #PeopleNotOligarchs
Reps. Ro Khanna (CA) and Thomas Massey (KY), have announced they will have a press conference on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern at the U.S. Capitol. They plan to have victims who have never spoken publicly before about Jeffrey Epstein. It should be explosive!

1,000+ "Workers Over Billionaires" Protests: Images From All 50 States and DC
Good Morning to the Democratic Platform and all who have actually read it. Notice the massive difference now between the parties? Please educate yourself. Y’all may not like politics, but politics will and do make or break your life. #DemVoice1 #Pinks #Voices4Victory
They're hiding the President because he experienced a Buzz Lightyear - Toy Story 3 scenario this weekend (blunt force trauma changed his primary language to Spanish.) They're hiding him until they can do a factory reset because his base hates stuff like that
Countless Americans protested peacefully across the country yesterday. Like we’ve done in the past, we spent a lot of time gathering images to prove there were “Workers Over Billionaires” events in all 50 states and DC. Especially since corporate media coverage was abysmal.

New in PN: RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode "What’s really notable is the extent to which GOP leaders have remained supine even in the face of a radical assault on their grandchildren by a transparent death-dealing fraud who wasn’t even a member of the party a year ago."
Happy first day of school, Minnesota!
I just wanted to quickly note that this piece was an all-women effort, start to finish. From the reporters to the witnesses and even the lawyer who reviewed it, seven women working in different capacities were able to bring this story of gross malfeasance to life. Proud The Handbasket can do this.
So the troops can stop doing litter pickup outside the WH and can go home now, right?
Prices are up just in time for back to school. Thanks, Donald Trump.
That’s because former Fox host Jeanine Pirro was unable to get the grand jury to indict her, which is conveniently left out here.
The President of the United States went essentially completely missing for four days. Just looked at their apps. Nothing about it in the Washington Post, nothing about it in the NYT. The press has been failing us for years but this is completely ridiculous.

Stop 🛑 private prisons 😢🤬🙏⚖️🇺🇸
Modern day slavers 🤬
For-profit prisons are antithetical to American values. Core civic and geo group and the rest like them, are slave driver operations of a new name.
Far more than that - they get paid per prisoner per day. Last time I looked, it was over $1000 pp/pd. That's something to look into.

You know what would actually help the housing crisis? According to the AFL-CIO, the average CEO to worker pay ratio (for S&P 500 companies) was 285-1. And since 1978, CEO pay has soared 1,085% compared to typical workers pay, which has increased 24%. Tax the rich, pay workers.
The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.
Beyond pathetic.
Good morning everyone Tomorrow 10:30 am Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie Capitol Hill It is TIME for the Victims to be heard It must be JUSTICE for THEM
#ProudBlue A judge ruled that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles is unconstitutional! 👏👏👏👏👏 I hope the courts will keep ruling against him as he tries to deploy troops in other cities. Come on Chicago.
They know they’re breaking the law. They also know the courts will be slow to call them out on it. Meanwhile they get to do their damage and get the military used to domestic incursions. This ruling should halt any plans they have to invade Chicago. It won’t.

The biggest thing about Trump's absence from public view is that Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social will be holding a press conference tomorrow with many Epstein victims. Trump was Epstein's bestie.

Trump is in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Maybe he needs to rethink his pending announcement.
In order to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein files Republicans went on break 2 weeks early hoping the story would go away. They’re back in DC now. You know what they’re going to find out? It didn’t go away. It ain’t gonna go away! #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles
Trump is giving a mysterious Oval Office address at 2:00 pm. Since Trump has never told the truth in his life, I wonder what lies he will tell? #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
That 💩 never made sense. Even if you have a clear understanding of basic math and where people are located in 🇺🇸. It's an old racist lie to keep white people and others scared. And every time the code "law and order" is said, ppl fall in line and that's exactly what they wanted.
