Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.
Owen Shroyer said he has parted ways with Alex Jones. The longtime co-host will no longer do his show for InfoWars because Alex said he was too negative towards Trump lately.
"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
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.
Wow! Awesome turn out. Susan Collins should be concerned...
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
Platner: Our taxpayer dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.
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.
Today is the first day of public trading for Trump’s crypto scam.

Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve

Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
Robert Mueller was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2021. We’re just learning about it now because he was asked to testify in the Epstein matter and won’t be able to. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
‼️Macron's office confirms Coalition of the Willing will meet in Paris on 4 September
Dead, alive, or hiding — doesn’t matter. Release the Epstein files.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
I just feel #RAGE 24/7
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
Difference between a husky and border collie... 👀😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky
More of this please
The United States is slipping from its place as a world leader. You can thank Trump for that.
Or the couches are worn out and stained.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
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.
I didn’t really need more evidence that RFK Jr is nuts and delusional.
A 1941 WPA road gang of migrant workers in New Mexico, many of whom were simultaneously working as farm laborers. Trump would have deported all of them.
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Stunning footage of a rare dark coloured deer, with estimates suggesting they make up less than 1% of all deer.
I don't want him dead. I want that vile and evil perv locked up in his federal penitentiary cell for whatever's left of his disgusting life.
Target acquisition, confirmed.
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
Labor Day is not a Republican holiday. They hate labor unions. It cuts into businesses' profits. The businesses that bought and paid for the Republicans.
Labor Day message from a Democrat.
Trump leaves the White House this morning (Andrew Caballero/Getty)
Smells better too!
In Democratic areas. They cut the polling places only in Democratic areas. It is my goal to do the same to them. I'm not asking for Republicans to be decent any longer. I am demanding we treat them no better than they treat us. Call your blue state governor and demand reciprocity.
Statement from Trump about his good friend Rudy Giuliani who was injured in a serious car crash on Saturday:
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
Veterans against Trump‼️ 💯 Absolutely Correct
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...

“But our march had done its work. We had drawn the attention of the nation to the crime of child labor…The Pennsylvania legislature passed a child labor law that sent children home from the mills, and kept others from entering the factory until they were fourteen.” www.thebulwark.com/p/labor-day-...
Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, had been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
Jesse Watters: “You weren’t ever on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet, were you?” RFK Jr: “I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times.” Release the freaking Epstein Files. Believe the survivors and their families. We want accountability.
I’m not an ornithologist. Can anyone identify the bird in this photo?
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Everything is perfectly normal and fine. Nothing to see here.
Is dead yet?

Happy Labor Day! Thank you Union!
He obviously knows where he’s going.
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
At least while alienating all of our allies, Trump has been instrumental in bringing others closer together.
The mysterious case of disappearing Trump continues to leave more questions than answers with each “proof of life” post put out by him. Get the latest updates in this weekend's bulletin.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
I'll just leave this here. Are you paying attention?
Mainstream Media isn’t reporting about the children who have died that ICE Gestapo snatched! #iceout #arrestnoem #arresttrump

If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
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.
In Los Angeles, this should be done everywhere. The pics of Americans snatched by ICE Gestapo is being projected on the side of a detention center in Los Angeles. #iceout #losangeles #california
Three Scottish brothers who embarked on a 9,000-mile row across the Pacific Ocean completed their journey Saturday, setting a new world record.
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
the sun would no longer rise without tariffs
Trump says without tariffs, our country would be “completely destroyed, and our military power would be instantly obliterated.”

He put chalk on his shoes then walked on the Pulse Memorial crosswalk. Police arrested him. But the court said they had no cause and he was released. The man arrested is now considering suing the state of Florida citing first amendment right violations.
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
I've seen many debating what to do if COVID vaccines truly disappear in the US & what they told me in Canada (as I can only safely receive a vaccine our government no longer buys)- is to "get infected to avoid infection" which is obviously bad advice. So, I wear an N95 everywhere in public instead.
Yet another case for SCOTUS.
Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Of course.
I guess he changed hats and won’t go anywhere near the press for 5 days for no particular reason. Also can’t get any video of him actually playing golf from the usual sources.
NEWS: Trump and House Republicans' budget cuts seek to eliminate the HOME affordable housing program that’s built/rehabbed 1.3M homes in 30 yrs, including 540k in rural areas. 84% of those homes are in districts that voted for him. Rural families now face losing their lifeline.
They sold out the American people for profits.
Pritzker on Trump's authoritarian takeover: "The playbook is the same. It's thwart the media. It's create mayhem that requires military interdiction. These are things that happen throughout history and Donald Trump is just following that playbook."
“Since Mr Trump singled out India with an unexpectedly draconian double dose of tariffs earlier this month, he has reportedly phoned the Indian prime minister on four occasions to seek a compromise. Each time, the Indian leader refused to pick up.” (The Telegraph)
The clown show never stops. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Lori Chavez DeRemer: "Consumer confidence is up." (Consumer confidence is actually way down since Trump's second inauguration.)
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
How about Americans learn how to read and write before they learn AI.
Lori Chavez DeRemer: "What I want to share with the American people is there should be no threat of AI displacing the American worker ... we see no threat."
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
From the WH pool this morning: Trump left for an “unannounced location” at 9:27 a.m. His motorcade then drove to his golf club in Virginia, arriving at 10:02 a.m. “There was one person in a car who gave the motorcade the middle finger as it drove by,” the pool report states.
O'KEEFE: Are you planning beyond Chicago to expand these kinds of operations to other cities? There have been reports that Boston may be next KRISTI NOEM: I think there's a lot of cities that are dealing with crime and violence right now, so we haven't taken anything off the table
I'll believe it when I see it.
O'KEEFE: Are there plans to go to red states and Republican-controlled cities in this kind of way? KRISTI NOEM: Absolutely
