For Important Context, we use “anti-vaccine activist” or “anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist,” be cause both fit. He’s a lunatic who made a lot of money peddling bullshit about lifesaving medicine.

These people are nuts. My god, leave them alone. #USDemocracy
According to the New York Times, the car that Rudy Giuliani was riding in when he had an accident that fractured a vertebra was a Ford Bronco. Which proves once again that history likes the "First as tragedy, then as farce" approach to this sort of thing. (Please tell me it was a white Bronco.)

Of true, this is truly amazing. Great job, guys!! #USDemocracy

Point Defiance rally, Tacoma, WA
Governor Tina Kotek isn’t present at the public hearing for the transportation funding bill she introduced, which has miffed some legislators and members of the public. It’s unclear where she is or if she will return during the special session, which is likely to continue through at least midweek.
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.
You may have noticed when POTUS insisted he personally brought peace to numerous countries. One of them, he claimed, was Congo. But my friends there tell me the fighting is as bad as ever. The civil war between Congo & Rwanda doesn't get much media attention, but it has been going on for years.
There's little doubt that this is true. It's all about evil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Great question. #USDemocracy
So true. An earthquake of a decision
NYT: “When Tennessee’s Republican governor @GovBillLee dispatched troops to support Trump’s crackdown on crime, critics wondered why he didn’t keep them within state lines. Memphis has a murder rate twice DC’s, Nashville’s is higher as well.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...

It is in within the realm of possibility that with Chicago poised to be overrun you could have Illinois law enforcement and Federal troops clashing I hope not but it cannot be discounted

An incredible story of courage in the face of danger. Ryan Palattao, in a wheelchair, survived because his teacher, Becca Heer, pulled him under a pew and threw herself over him to protect him. His family calls her a "guardian angel." www.startribune.com/he-couldnt-r...
This attorney has an excellent point.
Now watching Sinners. Wow. This movie sets itself in a real place and a real time with real dangers, and it is moving already. Just now in the first scene in the juke joint. Such a fantastic, interesting, wild take.
I just find it weird that so many people are fine with Abbott gerrymandering Texas but they are all totally against Gavin doing the exact same thing in California. I mean, could you be any more transparent about your willingness to cheat to win? #USDemocracy

I stopped by our very own South LA Cafe to celebrate Black Business Month this August! 🌟 Not only did their fresh-ground coffee hit the spot—my conversation with Joe about the hustle, impact, and resilience of his Black-owned business left me inspired.
Thank you to the attorneys fighting the good fight!
NEW: Robert S. Mueller III was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease four years ago, has had difficulty speaking in recent months and because of that cannot comply with a request to testify before a Congressional committee
Through eight months, 501 people have now died on Virginia’s roadways in 2025. Each of the last four years, I’ve offered bills to provide a new, dedicated funding stream for the Virginia Highway Safety Improvement Program so we can prevent deaths and injuries. The Governor vetoed it this year.🧵
To be clear: Trump’s tariffs + Trump’s trillions transfer amount to the biggest tax INCREASE on regular folks ever… yet @MarshaBlackburn calls it “the biggest tax CUT ever” — because for rich people it is, and they are all she cares about. She hopes we don’t understand this.
The most dangerous man around right now! He’s nuts according to his family!
He didn’t know about the the CDC decision on COVID shots until the announcement, even though he led division on vaccination & respiratory disease He kept asking to see the justifying evidence, or hear from experts who supported the move RFK’s team kept saying no www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...
I’m going to think positive.

Today in 1977 Blondie signed their first major record company contract with Chrysalis Records.
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

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.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams on July 4, 1826, except it’s potus and Giuliani on Labor Day, the day they clearly most hate
Public safety in California is on the rise. Last year, California had the second-lowest homicide rate since at least 1966, decreasing by nearly 12% overall since 2023. We're going to drive that progress forward up and down the state.

Fascism is all about elevating unqualified mediocrities to positions of power as a reward for loyalty.

Mary Shelley wrote an entire book trying to warn us about extremely arrogant nerds who create things irresponsibly and take no accountability for them for when they wreck society, by the way.

I don’t think there’s anything that isn’t bullshit!
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...
