A draft dodger is never a war hero
This says it all.

Next we’ll be told he went deep undercover as a sexual abuser for 60 years to uncover the sex trafficking ring run by his best friend…
"We're talking an explosive, expansive network of corruption and sex trafficking that is literally global in scale." Here is the answer from @repstansbury.bsky.social that came up in @jenpsaki.msnbc.com 's interview tonight with @raskin.house.gov
Trump says the job numbers may not be good now but a year from now they will be. A bit different from what we heard during the campaign. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Our billionaire President put an airline lobbyist in charge of the Department of Transportation. So no, this is not a surprise.
Nothing says “Nobel Peace prize” quite like the changing the name of the Department of Defense to the “Department of War.”
Just beat it 😎
Way to go, MAGA.
More about the call between Vatnik Trump and European leaders, he had another temper fit because he wants to trick them into reducing support for Ukraine. Then after they told him finally to go fuck himself, he hung up and posted a picture of his sugar / handler Putin.
Trump vs. the law Use of the Alien Enemies Act to force deportations - illegal Military invasions of American cities - illegal Detentions without due process - illegal Declaring fake national emergencies to bypass Congress - illegal When you elect a criminal, you get a criminal presidency.

Pete Hegseth: "Unfortunately, the weakness of the previous administration has driven Russia and China closer together. That's a terrible development of a lack of American leadership and a lack of American strength."

Trump: “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un”
Trump keeps losing the legal battles over his unpopular and highly illegal agenda.
"Let's be really clear: The White House is involved in a massive cover-up here." Rep. Robert Garcia calls out the Trump administration for ducking Trump's promise to release the Epstein files.
Reid: Bondi is not a real AG. She just works for Trump. All these U.S. attorneys — what’s her name from Fox (who I hope is sober) — she’s not a real U.S. attorney. She works for Trump. They’ve gutted the DOJ. The DOJ doesn’t exist. The FBI doesn’t exist. It’s all just Trump’s employees.
Trump threatening members of Congress not to sign the Epstein files discharge petition saying it would be a “hostile act” against him is definitely something an innocent person would do. And scheduling a military flyover in the middle of the survivor press conference is also totally normal behavior.
Trump will do anything to coverup the Epstein files, including die or fake dementia to get out of being held accountable.

On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
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."
Early night for Sleepy Don. Not even any insults either.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here

New in PN: Making Slavery Great Again "Without irony or shame — and to absolve their followers of any guilt or responsibility — Trump wants to whitewash America’s original sin."
The past 12 hours gave all of us a sense of just how huge the nationwide celebration will be when he finally does kick the bucket. 🎉🥳🎊

Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
FUN MAGA FACTS: ➡️ Donald Trump attempted to get himself invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding, but failed. ➡️ Donald Trump was a registered DEMOCRAT until a Black man was elected president in 2008. ➡️ Donald Trump donated to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign against this Black man.
We are the only developed country where mass shootings happen on a regular basis. It doesn’t have to be this way.
He is wrong on the facts. 1. The data is clear, VBM benefits Democrats electorally and it remains true. Rejected mail ballots skew Democratic as well. 2. Strict photo ID laws also disadvantage Democrats, particularly young voters and those in urban areas. Again, this is data not opinion.
Your prayers after the last school shooting are just as helpful as your prayers before the next one.
🚨BREAKING: California Supreme Court DENIES Republicans’ petition asking the court to stop state officials from putting a redistricting measure on the ballot – the second GOP challenge to the state’s redistricting it’s thrown out in one week. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
Agreed! Also make sure that corporate landlords can't swoop in with cash offers and build expensive housing for Airbnb use in those designated zones.
Psaki: The firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook "is a part of a larger pattern of Trump attempting to grab power ... He wants interest rates to rise and fall at his command, so he can juice the economy whenever he wants to for short term political gain."
Lutnick ought to know. He works for one.
Six months ago. I meant it. Do it now if you haven’t.
I’m from L.A. We did not feel freer with your jackboots in our city. I’m sure those in D.C. would agree. Get lost with this fascist propaganda.
I was worried they were starting to get it. It doesn’t appear that will happen anytime soon though.
WE NEED A GOOD HASHTAG. THE BEST, AND MOST EXPENSIVE, FIT FOR THE WORLD'S GREATEST AND EVERYONE'S FAVORITE TWEETER--ME, YOURS TRULY!! IT WILL BE THE MOST BRILLIANT HASHTAG EVER!!!
“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.
We can come up with: $2MIL to turn the Rose Garden into a Fuddruckers. $200MIL for a ballroom. $1BIL to upgrade an airplane Quatar couldn’t sell. $450MIL (so far) for golf trips. $2BIL to paint a few 100 miles of border wall. Yet kids with cancer must stop being so needy.
He looks and acts like a man dying. It will happen, hopefully soon but remember his power was always theater. Even if his health fails, the architects of Project 2025 remain. Celebrate, but know the hand inside the puppet still moves and their plans haven’t changed. #Resist
Having Hakeem Jeffries in a position of leadership in this moment is like intentionally having an alarm clock that doesn’t actually wake you up.
It is the taxpayers’ money, not Dictator Trump’s money to be used to threaten people who say things he doesn’t like.
🇺🇦🇺🇦
I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.
It’s time for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to fire his comms people. That’s a lot of words to say “GTFO.” Also, unleashing the military on the people isn’t a distraction. It’s five-alarm fascism.
It’s spreading.
Virginia Giuffre's family: "The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction for child sex trafficking. During DAG Todd Blanche's bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history."
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏

"Mr Trump, then 50, was reported to have flown Ms De Georgiou and Ms Maxwell, to Florida for a weekend and arranged for Ms De Georgiou to stay in an apartment he owned in New York. They met after he began dating the model Melania Knauss, now the first lady, but before they married."
God I love Mexico!!! When Trump ordered the border wall painted black to absorb the sun's heat and make climbing harder, Mexico responded by painting beautiful murals on their side
This is the new tacky AF ‘Rose Garden at the White House.
Frost: He knows they can't win, so he wants to cheat. The same thing he's done his entire life. But I'll tell you something else I feel really good about, is what California's doing. They're saying we're not gonna let you do this without a fight.
Did he just light the nation on fire and walk away?
Pure extortion.
Trump has ordered the US military to deploy to 19 US states to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein files. US troops ordered to stop crime and given no further instruction than to walk around trying to find it.
If Trump pardons convicted child rapist Gislane Maxwell, they will absolutely officially be the pedophile defender party. The fact that this is even being considered is sickening. She also has been moved to a nice min security prison, a club Fed, ALREADY
And right after this interview with Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, Maxwell was the only sex offender in the US penal system to be transferred to a minimum security Club Fed and is fast-tracked on the pardon list. What a joke.
“There is no Epstein list” - Ghislaine Maxwell Well Ghislaine, when you take all the rich and powerful people who regularly spent time with Epstein on his island, planes, boats parties etc and write them all down on a piece of paper… That’s the Epstein list. Hope this helps.
California strikes back at Texas with its own redistricting plan, a Florida judge shuts down the Everglades’ notorious “Alligator Alcatraz,” and Trump’s DOJ raids John Bolton’s home and office. This week’s political battles are heating up on all fronts. Dive in here:
Otherwise known as communism.
I'm so fucking proud to be a Californian.
Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.
They’re lighting democracy on fire.
Warren: "We can't live in a world anymore where we pretend that everybody is playing by the same set of rules ... Republicans are determined to rig every rule they can, to break laws in order to seize power and to hang on to it. As Democrats, we have a responsibility to fight back & fight back hard"
BREAKING: A federal judge in Miami gave the state of Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz — handing environmentalists and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians a win.
Everything Trump is doing is aimed at making it harder for Democrats to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat. But we are going to fight like hell in court and we will win.
Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…
😂🤡🥴
I love the new Cracker Barrel logo! 🧡 #EpsteinFiles

JUST IN: A federal judge has ruled Alina Habba’s appointment as Special Attorney for the District of New Jersey is unlawful. Judge Brann: “I conclude that she is not [lawfully performing the functions and duties of U.S. Attorney].” Her actions since July 1 may be void.
Do they see it yet? How absurd their own leader is? No?
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."
Calling all democratic governors. It’s time.
I for one am concerned.
