I believe that input from working people is far more important than input from someone who simply has money. I believe that we shouldn't be settling for crumbs while billionaires eat the cookie we baked.

I love this guy. There are some amazing politicians emerging.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is now less valuable than a few Chuck E. Cheese tokens.
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
If it's that, it sounds very serious.
Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
What's HD?
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
A look back at past Trump statements is interesting in this moment when stumbling to a golf course is the closest thing to a presidential activity the guy does. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
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!
I'm wondering about the Thursday Murder Club and Bogdan's arrest for murder. Osman's book was different. I've concluded it's because American audiences wouldn't accept lack of formal justice for a murderer. Plus nuance is hard in a movie. But how will they finesse weaving Bogdan back into the story?
THE GREATEST HEIST: Chapter 7 - The Cultivation of Donald Trump It took the KGB 12 years to construct Donald Trump as an asset. This is how they did it. #TrumpRussia www.narativ.org/p/the-greate...
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.

Harvesting organs. Disgusting!
SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

someone should put together a "kennedy death count" for everyone who dies of a preventable disease and just plaster it everywhere www.statnews.com/2025/08/28/c...
Excellent question.
@inkone.bsky.social I spoke too soon. It seemed petty to me but unsurprising.
That's not true.
pettiest man alive move right here - she's still living rent free in his addled brain
He should assign some national guard or reservists, they’d be better put to use than picking up trash in dc. Of course he’d never protect an intelligent black women. That’s his whole point
He's an ugly ugly man.
I’ll never understand why people can take health advice from someone who sounds like a radioactive backfiring lawnmower.
So true--she is an idiot and honestly, all of her GOP senatorial compatriots are death camp vigilantes too.
Jon Stewart asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants but not mass shootings
I voted against RFK, Jr. because it was clear he just is not up for the job and would put his own politics ahead of science. We are watching my worst fears play out – and it's Wisconsin kids and families who will suffer.
What an unfeeling ass.
No mention of guns--you fraudulent fool, particularly given your family's history under the shadow of gun violence.
Going on vacations where everyone who sees you boos you? Yeah, probably a useful skill.
What does Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have against babies with cancer?
They're Putin's puppets. Only it's much worse.
Looks like Trump and Tulsi got their marching orders from Putin during their “summit” and fired the CIA's top Russia expert. Once again, this admin is putting U.S. national security on the back burner for Putin.
It's a good moment to brush up on the economics of central bank independence. Fortunately this was the focus of a recent segment of "The Professor Is in," which has aged remarkably well. Trigger warning: Earnest, explainer-ish, presents competing arguments honestly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBVu...

The trouble is Robert. F. Kennedy Jr. and he is the one who needs to resign.
I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.
He's a goddamn idiot and that's being kind. Maybe a Stephen Miller wannabe?
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
EXACTLY!! The White House is doing dirt and honorable civil servants are expected to roll over and die?
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Chief Justice Roberts says the rule of law is eroding like we've rarely seen. Maybe he should've thought of that before ruling the president is above the law. You don't get to burn the house down and act shocked it's on fire.
Pretending not to hear the whole room chanting “shame” at her is the most Susan Collins things ever
NEW: Conservatives in Maine have placed a measure on the Maine *this* November that'd restrict the ease of voting in a lot of ways — notably, with new barriers to voting by mail. (The rules would be in place by next year's key Senate race.) Learn more:

I'll bet the reactionary pro-child labor advocate and tobacco pusher Jeffrey Tucker had a hand in this. @joho.bsky.social
WTF!
People are reading AI-generated synopses of books and then claiming they read 100 books in a week. This is how the abolition of books began in Fahrenheit 451: classics were condensed into five-minute summaries for those too busy to do the reading. Later came the burnings.
If Trump won your district by less than 15% then you have a good chance of flipping your House seat to Democrats. That's how much the vote has been swinging in special elections! So we should be running everywhere and investing in candidates EVERYWHERE! Spread hope to voters!
As if any of us had any doubts about putins villain status. #SheShed
According to sources in the Danish police, American agents are trying to infiltrate Greenland to find people who would be in favour of an American invasion.
I always appreciate how much SF hates Silicon Valley.
Utter insanity.
Not with this president.
We're going to deport you to a random country if you don't take a plea deal for a crime you said you didn't do, doesn't sound like justice to me.
Not like our fricking Supreme Court.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
The answer is 'yes"
Good morning from Chicago!
WW2 says wut?
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
PRETTY MUCH.
It isn't until the 26th paragraph that there is mention that what Trump is doing is being challenged as illegal. And it accepts Trump's stated rationale to act. Here is what I think: Trump is illegally deploying the military in blue cities to set the stage to interfere with the 2026 elections.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
Me neither. That's inaccurate.
So, the People’s House is being closed to…the Public. White House tours are cancelled starting in September so Dear Leader’s McPalace makeover can begin. I don’t think he plans to leave, do you?
The tackiness is so gross.
I may be math dyslexic but this math makes sense to me.
It's insanity.
some people should definitely stay on twitter instead of blue sky lol
I mean, come ON

Newsom: 175 billion in the bill that was just signed to reinforce the ranks of ICE for what is increasingly becoming self-evident a private army for Donald Trump. Owing an oath only to him, not the constitution
They’re lighting democracy on fire.
Corruption is bad, and members of Congress shouldn’t trade stocks.
Stupid White Hippies is the super group we need. Neil Young, you available?👊🔥
Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.
It isn't just scholarly types who are contacting the American Historical Association with concerns about Trump's targeting of museums: "Many of them are parents who are concerned about the Smithsonian's future," Sarah Wiecksel says. "Others are frequent museum visitors." Here's my latest for CNN >>>
#Pinks #ProudBlue Trump cannot win the midterms legally. Here are the three ways he’s planning to rig them: changing electoral maps, demanding a new census, and doing away with mail-in voting. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Not a surprise.
Two things that I learned from the Flight Attendants strike against Air Canada. 1️⃣ Air Canada CEO Mike Rousseau makes $12 Million and is a POS💩 who does not care about his employees or his paying customers 2️⃣ Air Canada is a very poorly run airline that you may want to boycott. #cdnpoli
Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.
When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.
Former PM of Australia 🇦🇺: “I’ve been with Trump and Putin. Trump is in awe of Putin… it’s like the 12 Year-old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero’.”
Yeah right.
Slavery was bad.
