Since returning to office, Trump has: -Stripped 1 million federal workers of collective bargaining rights -Reversed Biden's minimum wage hike for federal contractors -Gutted OSHA and frozen enforcement of a regulation protecting miners from lung disease "Pro-worker" president.
The next Democratic president is going to get coup’d by these lunatics if they don’t Abolish ICE or completely gut it
180 shots fired, 150 broken windows. Tumultuous firings and resignations at the CDC. The installation of a techno-optimist with a history of pushing unproven medical treatments. The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department.
Reminder what the book bans are really about- religious groups forcing their morality on kids attending public, non religious schools
If he departs this mortal sphere as I type this, it will do nothing to undo all the evil that his now bruised hands have wrought, to erase every vile thing his presence has exposed as he ascended politically. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-dont-wis...
The EPA fired five agency employees who signed a June declaration decrying moves that contradict science and undermine public health, alongside four more served removal notices
NEWS | IMMIGRATION Trump Admin to Financially Reward Police Agencies For Working with ICE DHS announced a new program that pays law enforcement agencies that help carry out its anti-immigrant agenda. By Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg , TRUTHOUT September 2, 2025 truthout.org/articles/tru...
ICE is on track to gain access to controversial spyware designed to hack phones and read private messages after the Trump administration jettisoned a Biden-era order.
Wes Moore is NOT playing: I am the Commander in Chief of the National Guard. I will not authorize the Maryland National Guard to be activated. THIS is how you fight back.
Trump has scheduled a military flyover tomorrow of DC at the same time as the Epstein announcement.
A landslide in the middle of a war & famine that was declared last year & has since spread across Sudan. About 25 million people need urgent food aid, according to the UN, while at least 14 million have been forced from their homes. Where is the int’l attention? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/w...
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Massie is probably getting a hundred... a thousand... maybe even two thousand death threats a week. And he's going right on MSNBC to do this. It's something.
Our communities deserve to be safe and free from military intimidation. Today, a federal court rightly rejected the Trump administration's deployment of troops in Los Angeles.
Instead of working to lower inflation, Trump and Republicans made it worse with reckless tariffs and their Big, Ugly Bill. Now, Republicans are resorting to rigged maps to cling to power—because they know the American people will hold them accountable for their cruel agenda.
Sorry if this offends, but uh, I would very much prefer it out of state national guardsmen did NOT come to my city. I don’t want Chicago to be used as a political prop for the dumbest people who deeply, deeply, do not give a shit about any of us.

Jesse Watters accidentally declared that the Fox News merch is made in China. So much for America First and made in the U.S.A.
"Our democracy is only as strong as the people willing to defend it. State and local officials are on the frontlines of this work, and they must stay firm in the tough battles ahead — for the systems they manage and the voters they serve. The stakes couldn’t be higher." -- Pamela Smith
#ProudBlue They said it struck a drug vessel. I don’t believe anything this regime says. I believe they are trying to start shit to suspend our elections. I completely believe that is what they are doing.
More details about our last post. The decision sharply restricts what the deployed troops are allowed to do and applies only within California. The judge also pointed out that both Trump and
This is what feces looks like when you put makeup on it.
As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.
If Trump had any real interest in addressing crime, his regime would work with law enforcement & Chicago leadership. Instead, he talks about “going in,” like he’s prepping a military invasion. This is nuts. This is dangerous. And it’s pitting states against states, echoing America’s deadliest war.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.
Hey Mikey! We didn't forget about the Epstein files while you were gone! #USDemocracy abcnews.go.com/Politics/con...
🚨Shout out to Austin, TX! They showed up yesterday. My heart smiles thinking about Abbott knowing this is in the heart of “his” state. ✊🏼1/2
Massive anti-Trump protest outside the White House demanding the release of Epstein files and chanting "TRUMP MUST GO" Sign: "REMOVE THE REGIME"
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in the state over the governor’s repeated objections. Pritzker also warned Trump will soon launch large-scale immigration raids in Chicago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
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
Surely, the decision to hold a military spectacle at that time is just coincidence.
More than a hundred russian drones are swarming Ukrainian airspace right now ‼️
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
This was when news reporting lost all sense of humanity&pride.No honesty,no apologies if something reported was incorrect.No shame, whatsoever,for who they hurt,who they sided with.They spoke like it was the gospel truth.Always biased with whoever,paid them the most bucks!They ALL worshipped money!
"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex. We spend too much money on defense. Why does it matter which rich people get richer off it?" There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one. (thread)
"Unless traditionalist Republicans find their voices and their spines, Trump will have buried the party of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan for good and replaced it with rank authoritarianism."
Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson were awesome. Chicago is the City of Big Shoulders. I'm hopeful.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.
Background from @lawfaremedia.org on the limits of Title 32, Section 502(f): "If a ... president were to ... ask governors to send unfederalized Guard personnel into a nonconsenting state—as opposed to a non-state jurisdiction like D.C.—that deployment would violate the Constitution."
Mike Johnson trashes Tom Massie on TV for forcing a discharge petition to release the Epstein files and the stooges behind him cackle like busybody old ladies. I wanna barf.
👇👇
When this is all over, House Speaker Mike Johnson will go down in history as the worst speaker ever.
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
SPOTTED: Mobile billboards driving around D.C. demanding federal agents take their masks off — because public servants should face the public. Go follow @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social!
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
The press conference with the Epstein victims begins at 10:30 am. The attempt to drown out the press conference using the military as both a distraction and a message begins at 11:00 am.
🚨 Last week, I again went to what will be the largest immigration detention center in the country, Camp East Montana. This is a $1.24 billion facility funded by Trump's "one big beautiful bill" located on Fort Bliss property. I spoke to detainees and here are my takeaways 🧵
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?"
Political theater.
BREAKING: Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker says the Trump administration has begun staging the Texas National Guard for deployment to Illinois, and federal agencies will soon begin large-scale immigration raids in Chicago. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social
If you saw his press conference you know, he was totally out of it! When he wasn’t reading from the teleprompter his mind was completely disconnected!! #25thAmendmentNow
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

FAFO Farmers were aware of the impending tariff and chose their ideology over self-interest, so no one should feel sorry for them.
He is a person with no redeeming qualities.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie has filed a discharge petition to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Every ICE official that refuses to ID themselves, show their warrants, deports without due process must be prosecuted for violating civil rights when we get power back. And we will. They can't "weekend at Bernie's" forever.
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
Just an observation here, but I couldn't help but notice that, even though we've all seen that orange shitstain sundowning for a long-ass time, the speed of his decline really picked up after Camille Zapata began her campaign of absolute deadass bangers.
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Shameful. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Things feel uncertain right now, Illinois. I want you all to know we’re doing everything we can to protect your rights. Make sure you know how to stand up for yourself and others at illinoisimmigrationinfo.org.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
And I share it!
I can’t believe there are 70+ million Americans who voted for this, or put up with this, or are ok with this. Also, fun fact, US citizens are paying for the tariffs and the money is not coming back to them in any way, shape or form. The rich are laughing all the way to the bank.
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
"Of the 384 cases filed through August 28 against the Trump administration, 130 have led to orders blocking at least part of the president’s efforts, and 148 cases await a ruling, according to a review by Just Security." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Until Trump speaks publicly, I’m going to assume he’s incapable.
Susan Collins should actually be *concerned*. I'm not sure if Maine wants this, but I've been waiting to hear someone tell everyone who Collins is for more than a decade.
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. 👀
I love this disingenuous argument that when we ask for more than just prayers we are attacking prayer and those who pray. Eat shit, tiny Johnson.
What could possibly go wrong?
If you want to see where MAGA is headed, look no further than this week’s National Conservatism summit. Here, the vision of a single religion, as the glue that holds a nation-state together, is at the forefront. Read @kieraevebutler.bsky.social on the ideology undergirding the conference and MAGA.
accountable......
The 25th amendment allows a president to be removed if they are mentally unfit. It’s time to use that amendment.
I don’t believe Rudy Giuliani was helping a “domestic violence victim” before his car crash. Not for one second.
You can’t put a minimum income threshold for refugees if you have banned asylum seeking people from working. You can’t expect kids fleeing a warzone to have school level English. And none of this will “stop the boats.” You need safe routes. Honestly, they can’t find anyway to defend this.
Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
My all time favorite. Especially the last part. When Russia collapses, no one will be coming to help them. No one.

Per the Daily Mail, "Argentina planned to massacre hundreds of British and American citizens living in the country on the eve of the Falklands War, according to newly discovered CIA documents." Maybe. 1/2
#USDemocracy NEW: Veterans have been BLASTING a speech from General Milley for over TEN HOURS to the National Guard: “We don’t take an oath to a king, queen, tyrant, or wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution – America – and we’re willing to die to protect it.” 🇺🇸💪
