What would we do without early childhood education? www.yahoo.com/news/article...
If we can find a way out of oligarchy, the first priority should be taxing billionaires at Eisenhower rates. Decades of US tax policy insufficiently taxing the wealthiest Americans has become a threat to democracy worldwide. Northern CA.

No vaccine, no pet license. Great.
She’s a singular sensation!
And murders a couple of workers there just for the hell of it.
My grandfather always told me, "never trust the political advice of a fascist billionaire propagandist."
Today, we honor the workers who build, feed, teach, and care for California. 💪🌟 Labor Day is a reminder that our state’s strength comes from standing together to protect fair wages, safe workplaces, and opportunity for all. Thank you to California’s workers. #LaborDay #CALeg
I complain about media outlets all the time, so credit where it's due to @wsj.com for this chart which says more than a thousand words could. There's no dancing around it, no explaining it away, there's just the ugly truth. www.wsj.com/wsjplus/dash...
How many decades of tax cuts for the 0.1% did it take to get here?
I’m back there in the 687th row, 3rd from the right.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
It's not Jim Cramer's money.
For whatever reason, this is giving me an Enron vibe.
I don’t know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her district…
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Austin Labor Day: really catchy music and great energy! Really love the vibe!
The Bond villain jokes write themselves.

* Trump Family Amasses $6 Billion Fortune After Crypto Launch @wsj.com
The people who lose money on this can blame the Republicans in Congress and on the Supreme Court who gave Trump an infinite number of blank checks.
That's a distinct little pattern right there
The Chinese government matters more to the GOP than the GOP's constituents do.
The pharmaceutical companies that contribute to Republicans did this to themselves. And unfortunately, us, too. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/01/t...
Pretty soon, it would be cheaper to get a credit card with a trillion dollar limit.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
No typos. Impressive.
Did you know that women make up 60 percent of dental school graduates in Iran and nearly 50 percent of practicing dentists?
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Republicans force women to give birth, then cut food aid for billionaire tax cuts.

As Trump preps military occupations of Democratic-run cities, his history as a sex predator is relevant. Trump has a lot of experience forcing himself on people.
Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."
Fascist billionaires leave no stone unturned. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org
Wonder how asking the National Guard to shoot US citizens without paying them is going to work out for the GOP.
It’s deliberate: sabotage.
A perfect example of Republican "law and order." Ignore genuine crime. Prosecute "crimes" they invent out of thin air.
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
Funny the right keeps bringing up a staged incident where Trump and law enforcement conspired to murder two Trump supporters for a photo op.
Stay ahead of the heat this Labor Day: 💧 Drink plenty of water ☀️ Limit outdoor activity during peak hours ✅ Check on neighbors, kids, and at-risk elders 🐶 Never leave children or pets in cars Let’s take care of each other, California.
It means the GOP will get to drive the US economy off a cliff unimpeded. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/30/h...

If you’re interested in finding out what we can do to fight back against the gerrymandering in Missouri, I hope you’ll join this call. I will be speaking on the call. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblek...
Murkowski is too busy writing Trump blank checks to do her job as a member of Congress. The CDC is now compromised because Republicans - including Murkowski - refused to honor their oath of office.
Ukraine has become shockingly effective in wrecking Russian energy infra just before winter. So Putin’s Number 1 priority is to force Trump to do his bidding and stop Ukraine’s winning strategy from progressing. And I think this will happen. It’s very grim.
Racism is more important to Republicans than stopping the US from literally burning.
This all stems not from the government, but from those who have had entirely too much money for decades.
@disavowtrump20.bsky.social 🚨NEW: The California Highway Patrol will offer security protection to Vice President Kamala Harris after Donald Trump revoked her Secret Service detail. SHARE to thank Commissioner Sean Duryee for protecting Vice President Harris!
I guess they’ll be set if they ever need to pay a hacker ransom. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
RFK Jr is a foremost expert on public health the way the National Enquirer is a resource for experts on public health.
Kellogg was sidelined specifically because he’s a better negotiator. They aren’t actually trying to end this war.
“This decision to stop me from literally destroying the USA will destroy the USA.”
Mid-October gives the GOP plenty more time to sabotage the economy and our relations with our historical allies.
Wonder if Clarence Thomas will get another motorhome out of helping destroy the US economy and our relations with our historical allies.
Sure sounds like he’s joking about murder and mass graves, doesn’t it? That Texas State Senate is a real laff riot.
You could pick a random inmate from the federal penitentiary system and they would have more morality than Trump, Roberts, Johnson, or Thune.
The four high-level CDC leaders who resigned yesterday after the ouster of the CDC director had deep expertise in immunization and infectious diseases and were crucial agency leadership. Americans are witnessing an unprecedented assault on our health protection agency.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

No notes
A rebrand Republican politicians and voters are completely on board with.
We also did this for reducing child poverty
If you are a wealthy criminal defendant, it makes sense under this administration to hire the AG’s brother to represent you.
Collins is an accomplice to everything Trump is doing. All Republicans in Congress are.
I have a message to the staff at CDC who have dedicated their careers to protecting Americans from health threats of all kinds: Thank you. Your courage and dedication have improved or saved the lives of people who may not even know it. We’re with you.
Will made a long career out of being a fascist billionaire propagandist.
It never occurred to me before, but we should absolutely make calling him "Colonel Lee" a thing to piss off Confederate defenders.
People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.
The Hill never saw Republican sabotage it wasn't willing to blame on Democrats.
Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.
The GOP and the billionaires who fund them never saw a mass shooting that made them want to change course on making them routine in the US.
I demand to know why Chicago PMI reading indicating a manufacturing recession yanked Bitcoin to January levels. Why is it trading like a reflection of speculative fervor as opposed to store of value? WHY
While actual crime, especially that committed by Republicans, goes ignored.
NEW: A federal judge ordered an Arkansas school district to take down Ten Commandments displays in its classrooms following our lawsuit.
Republicans call keeping children hungry while impairing their ability to learn "multitasking."
This also applies to the billionaires who have funded GOP sabotage for decades.
“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege
They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.

Or how about the fact that there’s no legal mechanism to do so? Was that not worthy of the headline? South Station is owned by the MBTA, not Amtrak like Union Station or New York Penn.
Felon did what?
Republican sabotage.
Republican sabotage.
NEW: More than two decades after victims and families of the 9/11 attacks began trying to hold the Saudi government responsible for aiding the Qaida terrorists who carried out the plot, a judge has ruled that a lawsuit against the kingdom can go to trial.
How I love this. I hope you do too
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
An escalation of GOP sabotage.
Jim O'Neill has a B.A. and M.A. in Humanities from Yale. He is a speechwriter. He is wholly unqualified to run the CDC. As far as I can tell, based on the Vacancies Act he is not even qualified legally to serve as the interim CDC director, as it is a Senate-confirmable position.
This takes courage.
HAPPENING NOW: CDC staff members are greeted by supporters as they stage a walkout at their headquarters in Atlanta in protest against the damage being done to the agency by conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social
Wow!! Incredible news!! 👏👏
If President Donald Trump sends the National Guard to Chicago, the police department says it won’t assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducting raids, nor ask for the immigration status of anyone seeking help. trib.al/lCLsmbR
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
Trump and RFK Jr. hand picked Susan Monarez to lead the CDC. Now, they are trying to force her out for refusing to rubber stamp their anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. This administration is so hellbent on killing people that even their own nominees are saying no. It must end.
