Trump: "We've taken in almost $17 trillion of investment." (That would be more than half the entire US GDP, so no.)

Trump: "We've taken in almost $17 trillion of investment." (That would be more than half the entire US GDP, so no.)
Do you think he’ll be smothered in orange makeup in the coffin? Or will people finally see the man behind the pancaked mask?
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.
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next
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?"
Imagine that: the White House doesn’t want the Epstein transcripts released to the public! Anyone wonder why the “grab them by the pussy” man would do this?! Im guessing he raped girls and boys while being taped.
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.
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s use of National Guard troops and Marines in Los Angeles earlier this year violated a federal law that prohibits using the military as a domestic police force. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
I love this guy
Thank you on this labor day!!
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.
Keep it coming, Bernie!

Enough said!
Happy birthday to your wonderful grandmother!
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
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.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
👇👇
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.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
I have a very aged bottle of sake, filled with golden flakes, waiting for that bigly day. Party at my place. We’ll all drink the gold he couldn’t get his wee, rotting hands on!
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
"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.
For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.
My electricity has gone up since this regime. Due to the power AI will Need, it will continue to climb. Solar and wind don’t hurt people (or whales) but MAGA doesn’t care how high our bills go. Their concern for Trump is their only care.
Just read that pediatric brain cancer research funds have been cut off by worm Infested HHS Secretary. Alzheimer’s research has been cut too. Only those with hate in their hearts could take away hope from our children and families. Wake Up People before we are too sick to open our eyes.
SARAH PALIN: "There are going to be death panels!" RFK JR: "Technically, it's just me."
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
This is never going away, is it?

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…
#NYC baseball coach confronts ICE child predators. “There's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids." www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...
“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.
The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts. Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.
Trump & Kennedy, instead of attacking diseases are attacking the scientists who keep us safe, exactly what anyone who watched Trump’s performance during Covid, is familiar with Kennedy’s anti-science views, or read Project 2025 could have anticipated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...
Excellent question.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Local hospitals closing due to the MAGA budget cuts, covid shots on hold for who knows how long, and even then only seniors to maybe get the shot, CDC gutted. They’re on a revenge tour and our lives really are at stake.
For the last ten years I’ve imagined us incorporating, as “We The People” with dues, say $50 per year, and our very own lobbyists and attorneys.
It just keeps getting better.
He's gonna make kids go to work camps because he can atmospherically deduce chakra misalignment.
Pushing out top officials. Firing hundreds of lifelong public health experts. Trying to slash the CDC’s budget by billions. How is this “Making America Healthy Again”?
Here he goes.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
The newly ousted director of the CDC refused to fire top agency leaders or approve changes to vaccines from RFK Jr.’s hand-picked panel of advisers.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Mark this day as the death of expertise at the CDC. All we have between us and the next pandemic are a bunch of horse paste eating conspiracy loons.
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW
We are now all the baby chickens that JFK Jr. shoved in his blender to feed snakes as he guts our vaccinations, the CDC, all for his empty, worm eaten desire to hold power.
‼️‼️
It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines. The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible. Vaccines save lives. Period.

But don’t forget, thanks to the Big Beautiful Disaster Congress passed, silencers are tax free. Sigh
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Breaking: According to Minneapolis police, two children — ages 8 and 10 — have been killed in the church shooting. 14 children and three adults injured. Minneapolis mayor Frey: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."
RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.
Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.
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.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
No one is saying this except Trump.
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.
Y’all are wild
The worm in JFK JR’s brain has spoken for the imaginary whales.
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.
Immigrants aren’t stealing your jobs. But employers are stealing $50 billion in wages from workers each year.

Constituent: You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass.
This. 100%.
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
Getting worse
Well, Trump has been “murdering” the news media, colleges, and businesses, so maybe that’s what he’s referring to with his usual forked tongue nonsense.
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
No worries. I was listening to you while driving, reciting the quote as if you could hear me. Imagine many of us were, etching the words into our hearts and minds. I think you did us a favor, getting everyone to recite MLK JR’s words to ourselves. Thank you!
"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." Governor JB Pritzker
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
one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder
Trump is setting up all these armed forces, trying to incite rioting so he can get the protesters shot. It’s what he wanted in his last administration and now he just may produce the carnage he desires.
I don’t know if this qualifies as spilling the 🫖 But release the damn Epstein files already.
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.
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.
