This is awful. Shame on House Republicans. Maybe the Senate will kill this bill. Alaska is our last frontier.
Trump’s Cabinet Picks Have Made Republican Senators Look Like Chumps - Didn’t take much.

Exactly. No evidence of what or who was on that boat.
Congratulations to LaVon Bracy Davis on her election to the Florida Senate! A steadfast advocate for Florida’s families, she will bring strong leadership to Tallahassee and deliver for SD-15!
But what happens in Nov 2026? Will Republicans, who are angry today, still be angry or remember their anger and vote to punish those Repub politicians or will they just vote party over country as they so often do? 🤷🏻♀️
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Not only will Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie be at tomorrow’s press conference with the Epstein survivors — but Marjorie Taylor Greene will be there as well.
Lots of redactions I’m sure.
"Trump’s LA deployment — an operation overseen by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — violated a longstanding law meant to prevent domestic law enforcement by the military: the Posse Comitatus Act."
He’s insane.
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.
🚨BREAKING: Federal court STRIKES DOWN down new South Dakota law imposing a nine-month deadline to file ballot measures declaring it unconstitutional under the First Amendment. Congrats to Dakotans for Health and their legal team! www.democracydocket.com/cases/south-...
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.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is definitely coming for your vaccines sciencebasedmedicine.org/robert-f-ken... via @sciencebasedmedicine.org.web.brid.gy @gorskon.bsky.social
Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
BREAKING: We secured a court order requiring the State Dept to preserve & account for Signal messages of senior national security officials, including Sec. Marco Rubio. This is an important step to force accountability for an admin that’s shown alarming disregard for transparency required by law.
Yesterday the president demanded that evidence about Covid vaccines be shown to the public. Today @apoorvanyt.bsky.social & I run through some of the studies made public over the past 4+ years that show that the vaccines work. Gift link: nyti.ms/46k17Tq

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.
So YouTube works for trump’s admin now. They deleted a doctor’s channel in order to delete a few videos from this trump admin person who spoke out against Covid vaccines.
He’s so guilty.
Millions of us share that dream.
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."
Dozens of scientists find errors in a new Energy Department climate report - Not at all surprising. We’ll never get accurate data from trump’s admin.

In Portland today, a roaring crowd welcomed Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, signaling real momentum in his challenge to Susan Collins.
He’s punishing CO and gifting AL. And it’ll cost US Taxpayers $$$ Billions. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
"If the federal government truly cared about safety in the district, it would restore the $1 billion in local tax dollars that Congress recently blocked...Instead, federal taxpayer money is being spent on troops and a federal police takeover"
How are trump’s people so stupid???
trump lies abt everything & Rs line up behind him. There’s seldom voter fraud- never enough to alter an election. Ppl in Red & Blue States want voting by mail. Voting machines are safe. Various IDs should be accepted. The only emergency is that trump’s trying to take over elections. Speak out! 🇺🇸
👏👏👏👏👏
As a human in DC right now I would get a significant boost to quality of life via a widely available COVID vaccine compared to armed men harassing my neighbors. Would call my representatives in federal government to point this out, if I had any
Epstein Survivors Press Conference Sept 3rd, 10:30 a.m. ET Tune in to support them.
👏👏👏👏
And he’ll schedule something for that block of time too.
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.
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. 👀
It’s disgusting. Bad enough he hands out this most prestigious of honors to people who’ve done nothing to deserve it and he takes pride in bestowing it on criminals. Giuliani is an Election Denier who has been sued and disbarred.
"That is why I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it." Yes, there is a difference.
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.

Budget cuts. Layoffs. Ideological mandates. The future of our public lands is on the line. This week on Reveal, we investigate how the Trump administration is shaping the future of the National Park Service for the worse.

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
But did he actually golf????
All over the US today, we are taking to the streets to say, “Workers Over Billionaires.” We’re saying trump’s policies are Bad for Workers, Business & the Economy; Bad for Families, Women, Children, People of Color, LGBTQ+ & Immigrants & VERY Bad for Democracy. Make your voice heard. VOTE BLUE! 🇺🇸

"Everyday People" by Sly & The Family Stone is a powerful anthem of unity, highlighting that despite differences, all people are equal and should coexist peacefully. Its messages challenged prejudice and celebrated inclusivity, as the band was one of the first major integrated rock groups.

The Constitution gives the president NO AUTHORITY OVER ELECTIONS.
Where was this story during his campaigns????
So much courage to speak out right now. Thank you.
If we don’t stand up for these victims, who will ?
DOL is trying to take away minimum wage and overtime from millions of workers. Just thought I’d mention that.

In approximately 60 days, several major elections are going to take place across the country. I think SOMEONE at the DNC should be responsible for INFORMING all of the Dems in America how we can help our team members win. SOMEONE should be sending out links to sign up for letter writing, call &

POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
A leading vaccine expert warns of the Trump Administration’s effort to limit COVID shots at pharmacies, which would be “disastrous” for the American public.
Everything we take for granted — weekends, paid vacations, sick leave, safer workplaces, health care — exists because of unions.

Absurd and outrageous map would lead to a 7-1 GOP margin in a state that is often split about 60-40 GOP by creating an absurd district 5 that spans about two thirds of the way across the state, 200 miles from West to East Oppose this.
I like the rebrand.
Mallory McMorrow: "When we take back power, we need a party who is not afraid to use it."
This admin is cruel.
Remember, Republicans know they can’t win without making it hard for people to vote, by frightening people so they won’t vote, and even outright cheating by providing mis/disinformation & the president telling TX & Red States to redistrict out of cycle to take away Dem Districts. Vote them out!

@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.”
"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...

Her flunky actually suggested that Hillary & Kamala should have offered her a plum position in their admin (as trump did with Kennedy) so she would have dropped out & thrown her support to them. As if she would have done that. She was getting something from someone to stay in the race. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
