Hey HB folks, heads up. A local white nationalist with a history of violence, Ryan Sanchez, is holding a vigil for Charlie Kirk on the pier at 7PM. He’s been calling for violence against the left for a long time and has been actively recruiting. Advise you stay away, nothing good will happen.
This government funding fight is about health care — if we fight for it.
They all knew.
🚨 New Mexico announced beginning November 1st, the state will guarantee no-cost childcare to all residents, regardless of their income level in what the governor’s office described as a “groundbreaking new initiative”, a model for the nation. Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Charlie Kirk belonged to a political party whose members routinely send Christmas card pics of their entire families, adults and children, bearing rifles and handguns – and who widely wear AR-15 lapel pins. Facts.

See? This is a good political response to what happened (if you must). Acknowledge, but make sure you get in something about how the right is constantly fomenting violence.
More of this.
It would be irresponsible not to assume that the amount of violence the president, intentionally or not, will be prone to urging his most unstable followers to embark on...in retaliation for the assassination of Charlie Kirk...is something every U.S. citizen should hold in their mind as high risk.

Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"

Yes. Yes, they are.
Misty riverside.
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
Sonia Sotomayor: Read my dissent please - Stephen Colbert: I will: "We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks latino speaks Spanish and appears to work in a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our Constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."
Tomorrow we head to Lake Louise and Banff for two days of camping
To justify dictatorship, the fascist playbook requires a martyr and a critical attack attributable to the opposition (truly or not). Hitler had Horst Wessel and Reichstag burning. The MAGA fascists now have their martyr. What will be their Reichstag event? Miller is already dreaming about that.
I strongly condemn the tragic, politically charged violence that claimed the life of Charlie Kirk today at Utah Valley University. No cause or ideology can ever justify taking a life. This is a reprehensible attack on free speech and civic dialogue.

They know it's his signature. They want him to get away with it.
Democratic governors build vaccine firewall against RFK Jr. JB Pritzker, Kathy Hochul, and Maura Healey are launching vaccine counteroffensives in their states ahead of their reelections.
My parents took me out of a country where this was the norm and where it led to the execution and imprisonment of millions of innocent people. They brought me here, to America, believing that it would not happen here. And yet here we are.
How do you even measure the Washington Post cringe factor at being embarrassed like this in coverage of your own city... Same event: Left side - New York Times headline Right side - Washington Post white house press release I mean headline
remember when the attorney general assured us that the one minute gap in the epstein jail video was completely normal and every prison jail video had the same one minute gap and then they produced a copy of the epstein jail video without the one minute gap i am reasonably sure i did not dream this

Reading a Bluey book tonight for bedtime when my 6yo says “that’s Jupiter. Not a stable surface. Mostly gaseous areas”
Omg...🤣🤣🤣
OMG! I see news that Trummpp intends to attend the Tigers v. Yankees game in NY on 9/11. Are they intending to keep the stadium empty for the whole game? Or will attendees be searched for tomatoes, bricks & dog poo? The guy who hates to be booed lives in fantasy if he tries this. What a bad idea.
Works for me

Wake up.

NATO has officially invoked Article 4 at Poland’s request following the Russian drone incursion. This is significant.

Well done. Sums up our foreign policy quite nicely. 👏
A serious study from a Harvard University political scientist presents a statistic worth remembering: Around the world, once 3.5% of the population became engaged in sustained, non-violent campaigns of resistance, change has always happened.Democracy is inevitable, when the people are determined.
Kamala Harris was correct about everything she warned us about.
A National Guard report accidentally emailed to the Post says veterans and active-duty troops view the D.C. deployment with "shame and alarm" @alexhorton.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
MAHA is all marketing and a distraction. It wants to tackle poor air and water quality but the EPA just got defunded. It wants to promote healthy eating, but the admin gutted SNAP benefits that would do just that. Biggest killer of kids? Guns. Totally silent on that. @anacabrera.bsky.social
Texas voters overwhelmingly believe tariffs increase prices texaspolitics.utexas.edu/blog/texas-v...
While medical costs have already pushed millions of Americans underwater, we may face the sharpest increase to medical costs in about 15 years. That is absurd. Congress needs to pass Medicare for All and make quality healthcare affordable.

Wow.
Moskowitz on Mike Johnson: "If he was lying then, is he lying now? ... I don't think in the history of this country we've had a Speaker of the House say the president was an FBI informant ... we need to hear from the FBI."

Damn good question.
Trump is weak, and Putin knows that.
it took the president more than 12 hours to come up with this

Trump’s weakness is going to get us all killed. Russia would never have attacked a NATO country if Putin didn’t think Trump would just kiss his feet.
Russian foreign affairs ministry issued a statement. They said Russian drones didn't have any "targets in the territory of the Republic of Poland", blamed Poland for spreading myths "again to aggravate the Ukrainian crisis" and ⤵️

Imagine making laws about Big Pharma while trading Big Pharma stocks on the side. Oh wait, that’s what our lawmakers are doing. 🤨
Putin aims to restore Russia to a Soviet Union-style empire. Vital to that is driving a wedge between Europe and the U.S., ultimately breaking the pro-democracy alliance. The Trump regime and its backers—Heritage Foundation & techno-fascist billionaires—are not just Putin’s puppets; they want this.
Watch closely as the Trump regime—which is fully supportive of dismantling democracy worldwide—responds to Poland’s invocation of NATO Article 4.
This is a major scandal. Trump committed a war crime and JD Vance said he "doesnt give a shit." America First! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...
“We smoked a drug boat, and there’s 11 narco terrorists at the bottom of the ocean, and when other people try to do that, they’re going to meet the same fate.” Translation: ‘we killed people who were turning around to distract from Trump’s decades of sex-trafficking & predation.
1/4 At yesterday’s Senate subcommittee hearing, @blumenthal.senate.gov correctly called the Aug 8 CDC shooting “one of the most traumatic experiences of [CDC staff's] lifetime.” The shooter fired ~500 rounds, a police officer was killed, and we staff spent hours in lockdown.
I’m sure Pete Hesgeth is the rare alcoholic who has never partaken of ‘dry goods’ to sustain his drunken binges. Certainly Trump himself or any member of his family wouldn’t consume cocaine or any other narcotics-besides you know, all of them.
“Geoffrey Corn, who was the Army’s senior adviser for law-of-war issues…expressed concern an apparently illegal order was passed down through the military chain of command and carried out. The apparent turning of the boat before the attack reinforced that judgment.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...
Absolutely right!
Yesssssss
At a Second line, there is not only dancing in the streets, but also dancing on rooftops, cars, walls, etc. Incredible photo by M J Mastro. Good night from New Orleans, where we are just beginning to feel the drop in humidity that we think of as Fall, lol.

12 hours ago, we announced a kickoff rally for our Senate campaign. 1,800 people showed up. This is how we win Texas.

Last night in Poland we saw the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began, and indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental. I am in contact with NATO Secretary General Rutte and Poland FM Sikorski. The EU stands in full solidarity with Poland. (1/2)
Today, I had the opportunity to meet with the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council and other leaders to support their critical work during this uncertain moment. Let's stand together and we'll get through this, Illinois.
The gaslighting on the signature is maybe their most embarrassing thing yet. Just an absolute disregard for the truth, or dignity. @reptimburchett
Poland shot down drones that violated its airspace during Russia’s attack on Ukraine—the first NATO shots in the war. Military says only threatening drones were neutralized. Incident heightens NATO concerns and prompts calls for a firm response. www.reuters.com/business/aer...
Democrat James Walkinshaw, who has experience working on Capitol Hill, has won a special election to be the U.S. House representative of the Virginia district that is home to the state’s most populous county.
Puerto Rico is being set up to be a wasteland. Vieques was bombed and poisoned for decades under the same excuses we’re hearing from Pete Hegseth today. The result was toxic soil, poisoned water, and cancer rates off the charts. Generations paid the price for America’s war games. #justice4Vieques

1/ On Sept 8–11, 1943, near the Zahoriv Monastery in Volyn, 44 young UPA soldiers resisted 1,500 German troops. With only 1 mortar & 4 machine guns, they fought for 2.5 days against artillery, tanks & mortars, turning the monastery into a fortress.
Powerful message!
cannot wait for the war that’s gonna break out once those detained korean hyundai workers get home safe and start doing interviews
