Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
"Sending away the 'others' to make way for white people to flourish is at the literal center of Gast’s painted vision of the West. That vision is reproduced in Homeland Security’s own videos." ICYMI:
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
I think this is going to be a huge story.
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.

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."
Ooof!
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
A huge landslide causes homes and land to plunge into the sea, Norway.
I went to listen to Pete’s federal forum yesterday at the Nebraska State Fair. He touted $50 billion for rural hospitals, but failed to mention rural hospitals are projected to lose about $150 billion. He’s giving us $30 but taking away $100. Total B.S.

Only a complete moron would believe this.
People want to be by the water. Some cities make that safer and easier.
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!
The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
Shows how little respect for the military Trump has.
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?
Waste of money. It will probably cost billions just to do this. Meanwhile, people are losing heathcare, food and shelter due to this prick's budget cuts.
Republicans are dangerous and dumb.
REP. BUDDY CARTER: What eroded confidence in the CDC was the covid vaccine BEDINGFIELD: Who was president in 2020?
He is basically saying, "Do your vaccine research on platforms like Facebook, X and Reddit" and ignore people who spent their lives studying and evaluating health issues in a clinical and scientific manner.
Gavin NEWSOM absolutely right .. where is donOLD....
WATCH: “Its not exactly an Agatha Christie mystery.” @marcelias.bsky.social & @raskin.house.gov say Trump’s seat-stealing, mail-in voting ban, and inevitable invasion of Blue cities to intimidate voters are all to steal the 2026 election. Full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDLI...

Only to Putin and conspiracy theorists.
Jain: We have a U.S. Attorney’s Office that is also facing a vacancy crisis. And that is at least partially because the predecessor to the current U.S. Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, was Ed Martin. He fired more than 20 prosecutors whose only “crime” was prosecuting violent January 6 insurrectionists.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
I like this summary. Leaves out "Insurrectionist" and "serial liar" and "Putin's bitch."
Lol.
The phenomenon of Indiana having Republican political control despite a significant number of Democratic voters is primarily explained by partisan gerrymandering and the strategic "packing" of districts. 🤬 The Republican party has drawn maps to erase Black & Brown voters! We must fight back!
Par for the disgusting course. They wanna relive the civil war. I say bring it.

#TaxTheChurches www.wtsp.com/article/news...
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
I would bet zero.
So, the plan is to reduce or eliminate funding for public schools and give all the $$ to bigots who call themselves Christians. Fuck this shit.
I like this because it explains why I have zero respect for Trump supporters.
Putin is happy.
Great point!!
Absolutely.
Both are sickening and a clear signal that Trump and Republicans have no honor, ethics or morals.
"Bye Felicia!" Keep the pressure on them. youtube.com/shorts/ZLImN...
If not for Chicago, we might not have Labor Day. Keep your eyes peeled on Monday for a much longer video where I dive into the history of unionization, violent strike suppression, and workers’ victories in Chicago, and how they impacted workers across the country.
Joni Ernst helped getting these workers fired.

POS should be impeached immediately and removed from office for this.
In a letter sent Thursday to Mike Johnson,Trump said he would not be spending $4.9 billion in congressionally approved foreign aid — effectively cutting the budget without going through the legislative branch. The letter was posted Friday…

Utterly FASCISTIC.
Federal agents detained two firefighters in Washington state... ...while the firefighters were in the middle of fighting one of the largest wildfires in the country. Under Trump’s regime, cruelty takes precedence over everything else.
It just keeps getting better.
We are now officially North Korea.

One Wisconsin CEO brave enough to be honest about the Trump tariff impact & cowardly business community: "In a different political environment, corporate America would be raising hell."
On Thursday, I joined the National Action Network's March on Wall Street with Rev. Al Sharpton, MLK III and hundreds of union members, civil rights leaders, and people from NYC and around the country.
IMMEDIATE conflict.
My father made most MAGA look like liberals, yet my brother, sister, and I despise Trump and Republicans. My five 1st cousins also despise Trump and MAGA. Thus, 4 MAGA types produced 8 Trump hating anti-MAGA offspring. Kirk is so stupid that he cannot see beyond his own flawed logic.
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
