The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.
I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. EVER!

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."
This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time. #CaptainAmerica
REP. @yassaminansari.bsky.social on the bipartisan demand for the Epstein files: “This is the most corrupt administration in 🇺🇸 history, and this story shows it more than anything.”
No notes
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."
We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files. Today, @oversightdemocrats.house.gov sat down with survivors who endured horrific abuse. What we heard was beyond disturbing. (1/2)
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.
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?"
Khanna: It’s going to be a bombshell press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. The American people will hear directly from survivors of the Epstein abuse. And they’re not just going to talk about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s abuse — they’re going to talk about rich and powerful men…
Well. He’s puffier and oranger than usual. His hair is insane. But that seems pretty normal to me.
RFK Jr. has completely destabilized our public health institutions. The leader of HHS is politicizing medicine, spewing vaccine conspiracies, rejecting science, and leading us straight toward a preventable public health emergency. He's taking us back to the 1800s.
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.
We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.
Thank you on this labor day!!

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.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
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."
Here in the US, “two weeks” actually means never.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
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.
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.
California stepping up.
Post a video of yourself with today’s newspaper saying this
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
If you’re interested in finding out what we can do to fight back against the gerrymandering in Missouri, I hope you’ll join this call. I will be speaking on the call. www.mobilize.us/indivisiblek...
Thousands of farm animals & livestock are going unattended. They aren’t being milked. They aren’t being fed. I feel a great deal more for those animals than for the farmers who voted for this shit. They KNEW who their workers were & where they came from. But they voted to hurt them anyway.
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...
@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.”
And I am the world's foremost astrophysicist ballerina who invented the piano, aspirin, and appetizers.
"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.
WOW, must see TV!
The Social Security Administration official who exposed that the Department of Government Efficiency had left millions of Americans’ personal data vulnerable says he has been forced to resign due to retaliation. Charles Borges, who served as the SSA’s chief data officer, told
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
🚨Priest uses his body to attempt to stop ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois outside of a detention facility that has refused entry to members of Congress.

Release the Epstein files.
What a ridiculous person.
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits
The revolution starts now Arresting a 20 plus year combat veteran for burning the flag This took place about an hour ago
A “we were wrong” correction would be nice.
This is 100% correct.
Florida bans "The Diary of Anne Frank" in school libraries. Whoever made this decision should have to eat every page of that amazing book, page by page.
Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.
This administration doesn't want Abrego Garcia to go free in part due to vindictiveness against the man himself and the courts protecting his rights, but even more because his freedom would underline the unjust, arbitrary nature of the detention project and reveal it a power grab that can be undone.
BREAKING: Judge Lamberth orders Kari Lake to sit for a deposition about whether she is operating Voice of America up to legal minimum standards. He says this is "one final opportunity" before a contempt trial.
Pritzker: Over the last four years, we have seen homicides drop in half. That’s something the President should pay attention to. I know he doesn’t read but I know he watches TV so perhaps if someone from Fox or Newsmax is here
I know you, Chicago — and I know you’re up to the difficult time we have ahead, thanks to this President.
We shouldn’t trust a thing that lying sex trafficker says, all so she can get an easier sentence or even a pardon.
Pritzker gets it.
Afraid of big cities? Then don’t come. ❤️ this video.
So when we first showed up at the Union Station today, we ran ICE off as soon as we got here.
SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.
🤘🙂☕ stevenwilhelm555 Steven
Anti-ICE protester in Los Angeles found dead in her jail cell and literally there is no mainstream reporting on this. The only reason her name was publicized was b/c @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social put it out there. Justice for Adrienne Villa!
Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.
NOW: Judge Xinis is presiding over a writ petition filed by Mr. Abrego. She's proposing the government respond by Wednesday, and a hearing Friday at 11 AM. She says extending a TRO is necessary because there appears to be a violation of the law. 1/
Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
Between Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the DOJ official who tried to extort a plea out of him with threats of trafficking him to Uganda, there is someone who committed a crime. But that someone isn't Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
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."
🚨And now - an arrest for videoing police. Pretty sure this was a violation of rights when we had them. We owe these people their voices as much as the oppressors must be exposed.
Schiff on the Bolton raid: "They're essentially going after any critic, any opposition in an effort to intimidate them. That's what this is about. It's not about Bolton per se. It's about anyone else that like Bolton might stand up to the president."
He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
No lies told here.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
