The jobs report today makes clear that Trump is crashing the economy. Just as Kamala Harris predicted he would!
Oh, yes, I see what you mean.
Cantwell: "Do you think that the women on the steps of the Capitol were a 'hoax' yesterday?" RFK: "I don't know about any women." Cantwell: "The women who were talking about Epstein. Do you think they were perpetuating a hoax?" RFK: "This is the first I'm hearing about it."
I didnโt think he was shut down. Kennedy always accuses people of โbeing ownedโ by Big Pharma blah blah blah
๐ฅIf this Senate hearing with Bobby "The Quack" Jr pissed you off, send a message: Quack-O-Gram delivery begins on 9/15๐ฅ ๐ฅ $3. Man in a duck suit. Rubber duck with "impeach the quack" message to YOUR Rep๐ฅ Link: www.standupforscience.net/quack-o-grams #ImpeachTheQuack @standupforscience.bsky.social
Sen. Wyden asked that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be sworn in for the Senate Finance Committee hearing before he began his testimony because of his record of not following through on statements or promises he made during his confirmation hearing.
GOP Senator Barrasso just pushed back against RFK Jr.'s attacks on vaccines. What RFK Jr. has done at HHS is not "Make America Healthy Again." It's "Making America go back back hundreds of years to a time before we believed in science."
"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." โ Michael Okuda How quick we forget.
I actually donโt know whoโs running this countryโs national security apparatus at the moment: the hapless and incompetent Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth or the right-wing conspiracy theorist and 9/11 truther Laura Loomer.
Shout this from the rooftops.
4 months ago, I became the first Senator to call for RFK Jr. to resign. Tomorrow, he will be on Capitol Hill. The question I would ask is simple: Will you accept personal responsibility for the children who have died and will die because of your vaccine conspiracy theories?

Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that California, Oregon, and Washington are forming such a group.

Yeah, I think so
The Ivies have produced an astonishingly bad crop of men lately, it seems. I guess he was a DEI "whiny faux hillbilly" admit?
The California Highway Patrol will provide protection to former Vice President Kamala Harris after President Trump revoked her Secret Service coverage, according to a report.
When Trump uncomplainingly takes a slap in the face like this, both to him and the First Lady, that goes against his nature and suggests โ yet again โ that Trump/Russia is a real thing. What it is, remains to be discovered.
It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house weโve built together. Iโm sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, Iโm calling you out.
I follow Ursula von der Leyen on Instagram so I definitely heard about it.
Trump is literally the only human in the world surprised by that idea.
They do more! Join Simon Rosenbergโs Hopium community!!! All sorts of projectsโฆ

Three wins today September 2, 2025 Panic sells, hope does not, so it takes more effort to find something that keeps you hopeful than something that will make you panic. When you see something hopeful, find an article local news, article telling that story and then follow them on all socials. 1/2
Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 โ RaShon Young +50 (75โ25). Senate 15: Harris +23 โ Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73โ27). Thatโs 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.
โโฆthereโs not a single story on the homepage of the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, or CNN about Trumpโs health โฆ โItโs shocking thatโฆ no major news outlets have done serious investigations about Trumpโs healthโฆโโ www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-time-...
Since 2018 Democrats have won or over-performed in every election except Presidential in 2024. (Moderate Dems have been most successful.) and that election was obviously unusual (abbreviated campaign, no primary).
If he wins the primary, and if I lived in Maine, I would vote for him. But his take on the Democratic party isnโt helpful.

White votersโall votersโ are going to feel it and I just hope they are able to identify cause and effect.
Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. Itโs unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...

@allclassicalradio.bsky.social What was that song in Spanish "Recuรฉrdame..." from that just played on Sunday Brunch today (August 31st)? I caught it in the middle. Was it one of the "five pieces from Venezuela" on the playlist?
Hillary was right - about everything ๐ #ResistTrump
Iโve been laughing about this post for twenty minutes. Enjoy ๐ซถ๐ผ
Every American deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood and community. The Presidentโs threat to deploy a stateโs National Guard at will, and without that state's request, is an alarming abuse of power, ineffective, and undermines the mission of our service members.
I always appreciate warnings. #BlockParty
I'm inviting Kamala haters like this account to my #BlockParty @zoeblank.bsky.socialโฌ )
Awesome.
Iโve never applauded jury nullification. Until now. Free DC.

Is he? Is he talented? Is he distancing himself? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I canceled my subscription to WaPo. Does the article mention the DSAโs pro-Putin, anti-NATO, anti-Ukraine foreign policy? To me this is very important and the press never asks about it.
Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin and now he is escalating. This shit is on Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...
I know it's illegal on here to notice that our leaders are actually fighting back in the job we actually elected them to do, but here's the Wall Street Journal bitching about Schumer's "historic" delaying tactics that have left almost 90% of Trump appointee slots empty. archive.ph/2025.08.27-0...

possible by oct 2026 that inflation is above 5%, we're in a jobs recession, the president's approval is at 35-40%, and people will be losing their health care and food benefits... i don't think this will go how he thinks it will go

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns donโt kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
For @forward.com, I wrote about Trump threatening Soros with racketeering charges/blaming him for violence and how we know that is not only ludicrous and antisemitic but that this kind of language has gotten people, Jewish and not, killed, and how Trump knows that too forward.com/opinion/7652...
Democrats are up 3.5 points in our average of U.S. House generic ballot polls. That would be enough to overcome the effects of additional partisan gerrymandering in red states www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data
RFK very Junior learned a new word but failed at using it in a sentence.
Also, talk about a โlack of social connectionโ!
I'm a little concerned here. There are plenty of Dems in both chambers who are definitely NOT being quiet, but will you blame them anyway? Because some people on this site are just not paying attention to the things Congressional Dems ARE doing.
A single 50-yr old could see their premiums triple. A single parent could see theirs increase 3.5x. A family of four could see theirs go up 3.7x. And an older couple could go from paying $638/mo to over $3,300...FIVE TIMES what they pay today for the same policy.
Track aipac is not reputable. But evidently you do not believe that Israel has a right to exist so thereโs no point in talking to you.
At least four major scientists out at the CDC today. Kennedy's assault on our public health just keeps escalating..... insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...
The case was half-baked. The prosecutors were clearly in somewhat of a pickle. And it was a SUB-par investigation
What strikes me is the every time the Trump Administration and the Republicans come into actual contact with the American people, it is toxic for them: grand juries, townhalls, opening ceremonies. Look, the man won with 49.8% of the popular vote; this was not a resounding victory by any means.
Dropping a new interview with @kendallscudder.bsky.social Chair of the @texasdemocrats.bsky.social. We talked about these momentous last few weeks and what lies ahead for the fighting Dems of Texas. Get to it when you can - it's a great conversation! ๐ www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/whats-next...
This was very interesting!!!
Statement on Donald Trumpโs baseless attack on Dr. Lisa Cook.
She doesnโt take AIPAC money. She received contributions from two progressive Jewish groups, JStreetPAC and Bend the Arc, but surely you wouldnโt object to that, would you?
I just submitted my first potential fundraising user agreement violation report to @actblueorg.bsky.social. The PAC included a bullshit "matching" claim which they said was only good for "the next few hours," claimed it was an "emergency" fund (for the midterms which are 15 months away) etc etc.
Iโm over the whole โXXX is just a stunt to distract for YYYโฆโ framing. No itโs not. Itโs *all* really bad and itโs not meant to distract, itโs meant to OVERWHELM you with 500 pretty equally bad things so we canโt get organized and fight. PICK. A. LANE. AND. STAY. THERE. This is how we win.
Not every story has two equal โsides.โ Report the *truth*: thatโs our job protected by the First Amendment.
โ DC resident here. This characterization of the District is of course absurd. Miller is essentially declaring "Mission Accomplished" after the troop deployment to DC, but the Trump administration's militarized authoritarian theater has nothing to do with public safety.
Some notes, a bit of data, and a @tbonier.bsky.social presentation on why Democrats need to re-commit to partisan voter registration ๐ www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/democrats-...
If Jim Jordan were a Democrat he would have lost his primary after people discovered how he covered up for the team doctor. More importantly, every reporter would bring it up every time they talk to him. If he were talking about Epstein and Maxwell, it would be the primary topic of questions.
I honestly don't know what I did to deserve this incredible tribute. I can only say I'm honored, flattered, and humbledโand, of course, deeply grateful to everyone who made this accolade possible. I pledge to do my utmost to live up to it. ๐๐ผ๐ค
If DOJ has a strong criminal case against Abrego Garcia, they should welcome the chance to prove his guilt at trial. This offer of guilty plea or Uganda is coercive. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Why canโt a single American journalist do this? Trump has repeatedly claimed heโs ended numerous wars โ heโs now increased the number to ten! โ and heโll surely do it again. Ask him to name the wars he says heโs won. Ask Leavitt. Ask Hegseth. Ask Rubio. Just fucking ask them & donโt let go.

Judge Aycock's ruling notes that only four Black people have served on the Mississippi Supreme Court. All of them held the same seat in the Central District and were first appointed to the position by a sitting governor. Mississippiโs population is 38% Black.
I havenโt received this -yet. But folk are being deluged with gop opposition to Californiaโs goal to counter Texas giving Trump 5 seats. The California opposition is being led by a wealthy gop donor This is also why I made this video today to wimpy whiney democrats complaining about Gavin Newsom
She (the congresswoman) tactfully told her that she was wrong, and then talked about how important immigration has been for the US.
Simon Rosenberg has been saying this for a month! ๐
The worse the Trump-MAGA crowd do in public opinion polls the more they seek to impose their will via force, illegal acts or voter suppression. Expect this to get worse.
Raise your hand if you know that @democrats.org have a daily messaging live every single day.๏ฟผ ๐โโ๏ธ 1/
At our Rep. Hoyleโs town hall last evening, a woman asked why Democrats donโt talk about how much immigrants have helped this country. I mean, what?!?
๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Misleading headline. Almost all the attendees asked questions about other issues, but were interrupted by a small group of bellicose protesters, who acted like bullies trying to silence the voices of constituents with their one and only issue. They tried to keep us from hearing our congresswoman.
We are lucky here in Oregon with Wyden, Merkley and Val Hoyle.
Congratulations, Reuters, on writing a whole article about the federal government collecting more tariff income, without mentioning who's paying the tariffs, i.e., American consumers. Does Reuters only employ schmucks? finance.yahoo.com/news/bessent...
The Democrats have a YouTube channel where you can watch lots of briefings, daily summaries, etc.
The reason their name is changing is because they are not going to be part of NBC anymore. They were bought by spin media last year. We donโt know if this is a good or bad thing, though I will say re-hiring @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social is a really good start. 1/2
Probably. It was all DEI!
