Trump on moving Space Command to Alabama from Colorado: They went to all mail-in voting. So they have automatically crooked elections. When a state is for mail-in voting, that means they want dishonest elections. That played a big factor also

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie filed a discharge petition today to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Working with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, Massie now needs to persuade 216 additional House members to sign it.
Trump just lying about everything now, especially Washington DC. Says businesses are booming and restaurants coming back. Nope, revenue way down bc people aren't going out due to 2000 armed National Guard members. No mention of Epstein Files...weird.
Trump on sending troops to Chicago: "If the governor of Illinois would call me up, I would love to do it. Now, we're going to do it anyway. We have a right to do it. And that includes Baltimore."
Well. He’s puffier and oranger than usual. His hair is insane. But that seems pretty normal to me.
"They were born to be criminals." Jesus. Trump is talking about Americans this way. And let's be clear - he's talking about Black and brown people in Blue cities.
Now that a judge ruled Trump's invasion of LA illegal, I wonder if Dems who avoided this topic will reflect on whether it might have been good to put their stamp on it now that it's been unmasked as a massive abuse of power. Pundits who urged caution should reflect on this too, but they won't.
Right-wing Daily Caller just released a transcript of an interview they did with Trump last week. This was part of it.

Russia has caused devastating damages to Ukraine. It is unthinkable that Russia will ever see its frozen assets again, unless it fully compensate the damages caused to Ukraine. Today, we discussed this issue with EU Foreign affairs ministers Extract from my press remarks ↓

It’s odd that the president would need to give an Oval Office address about something as arbitrary (albeit idiotic) as moving Space Force or renaming the DoD. I have to assume he’s doing it because he knows the world thinks he’s hiding.
Unafraid to speak truth to power, President of the American Academy of Pediatrics Dr. Susan Kressly joins @vinguptamd.bsky.social on Meidas Health for a powerful discussion on truth, conviction, and her deep commitment to ensuring optimal childhood health for the nation amid chaos at the CDC.
1. Monday was a landmark day in one of the most brazen political and economic grifts in history. It netted Trump, at least on paper, $3.4 BILLION. Follow this thread for details. 🧵
This is not reporting. This is propaganda.

Norway will purchase at least five British-made Type 26 frigates for its navy, valued at 10 billion pounds. The deal aims to enhance cooperation between Norway and the UK in countering Russian operations in the North Atlantic. apnews.com/article/norw...
Remember in early 2022, when Anthony Fauci was overheard on a live mic describing Sen. Roger Marshall as a “moron”? tinyurl.com/4hpn9j52 I find myself thinking about that quote with some regularity.

A Democratic super PAC is launching a $700,000 digital ad blitz slamming Susan Collins for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. This ad accuses Collins of “the worst kind of greed… using insider information to trade stocks.” Please WATCH and SHARE. 👀
On this day 1945, "hours after Japan’s surrender in World War II, Vietnamese communist Ho Chi Minh declares the independence of Vietnam from France. The proclamation paraphrased the U.S. Declaration of Independence in declaring, “All men are born equal: the Creator has given us inviolable rights,...

again i will say this today, the greatest threat to democracy, individual freedoms, and most citizens personal safety is not islam, socialism or wokeism, or someone's sex or sexuality. The greatest threat today is "christian" nationalism.
If 2pm presser is about Venezuela, my prebunk/theory: Trump's military provocations on Venezuela are a way to create a factual basis to sustain his Alien Enemies Act deportations. And, he may try to use it to expand his original executive order to all Venezuelans, not just TdA
RIP writer Laura Riding, died this day 1991. "Until the missing story of ourselves is told, nothing besides told can suffice us: we shall go on quietly craving it" “Ah, the minutes twinkle in and out And in and out come and go One by one, none by none, What we know, what we don't know.”
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."
Judge Breyer cites the statements made by President Trump and DoD Secretary Hegseth about deploying the National Guard around the country in blue cities as grounds for finding that it's necessary to issue an injunction blocking the Trump admin from continuing to violate the law.

Sending positive thoughts that Dr. Corey can dx what's making her feel unwell. Praying it can be easily treated 🩺😽🙏
Missy isn't feeling well and is heading back to the vet today. Please send good thoughts her way.
Make no mistake, refusing to prosecute those who violate gun laws in DC will have real-world consequences: exposing to unnecessary risk some of our most sensitive federal institutions and threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents and millions of D.C. visitors.

Pope Leo XIV prayed publicly on Sunday for the victims of the shooting at a Catholic school in Minnesota and called for an end to the "pandemic of arms, large and small."
This malignant narcissist is most likely only alive now because he received monoclonal antibodies when he had a Covid which should alert any idiot to the importance of mounting an immune response with Covid vaccines.
Happy Tuesday! It’s the beginning of a new work week and a return to non-summer energy. Today’s sunrise was subtle but it looked very nice close in with the clouds. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
I love this guy
This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old
Birth rates are lowering *literally everywhere.* The only countries which keep growing in power will be the ones which continue to grow, and without immigration that will not be “the West.”
Love it!💜
Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.
To close the day, here is one more sunrise picture. Usually we get color only where the sun is about to rise but today we had beautiful colors to the north, shown this morning, and to the south, shown here. Tap for full size. I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend!
Graham Greene, Dances with Wolves actor, dies aged 73
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
Hey Ron DeSantis, you're gonna want to check out MeidasCanada tomorrow. We're taking the fight straight to you from Newfoundland. @charlieangus104.bsky.social
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.

Bluesky is now among and often *the* highest referer to @motherjones.com. That’s traffic that has been additive. Only Twitter has dipped btw, the rest as fairly steady state (and instagram impressions and video views on all platforms up enormously.)
If you had to write three fun facts about me, Susie, for an application (say for an NFL halftime corgi race) what would you say about me?
In case you are wondering what is going on today at WaPo and Democracy Docket.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Spent some time blocking trolls. It's one of the great features of Bluesky.
Bringing unity through music, pianist Jeffrey Biegel's 21st century initiative joins 60+ orchestras in all 50 states for Peter Boyer's "Rhapsody in Red, White & Blue". It nourishes our souls, and I encourage orchestras to join this evolving historic moment. propulsivemusic.com/news/2024/01...

In recent public remarks about deploying the National Guard to Chicago, Donald Trump said: “I have the right to do ANYTHING I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.” Not even a King has that right. Certainly no president. Who knew a non-drinker could be so drunk with power?
Maris, taking charge and leading the way!🥰

Platner: 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.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

I have an opinion piece in the New York Times today on how the labor movement has failed to step up to the moment in countering Trump, even as Trump unilaterally strips public sector workers of collective bargaining. Labor will die as a movement if this continues. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, former chief economist to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) & director of budget and spending policy for Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign👇🏽
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
52 of 53 Republican senators voted to confirm him.
Just an astonishing, powerful op-ed that drives home what we are losing and what's already been lost. We are so incredibly fortunate to live with the advances modern medicine and health science. Destroying and stymieing it is just unforgivable. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

"Even in a long line of anti-labor GOP presidents, Trump stands out. And while he may not succeed in completely destroying collective bargaining in America, he’s poised to strike terrible blows against organized labor." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

It’s still early, but pretty good turnout so far for Bernie Sanders and Graham Platner’s (running against Susan Collins) rally here in Maine today.
Kressly: I expect in the next couple of weeks, this is going to get worse. You’re going to hear from the same administrative people who have gutted the expertise needed to promote child health — pushing false narratives like, “we need to look at the link between vaccines and autism.” That is a lie.
