BREAKING: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defies President Trump by leading a "no troops in Chicago!"
Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights? He wants working people to feel helpless and divided. Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power. Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

Mallory McMorrow: "When we take back power, we need a party who is not afraid to use it."
"Here’s the truth we cannot escape: If Ashli Babbitt is honored, then few things are sacred. If loyalty to the Constitution and an attempt to overthrow it are treated as equal, we lose the very meaning of service." www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...
He can pretend to be dead all he wants. I still want the Epstein files released.
Id heard that Cantor Fitzgerald, the Wall Street firm formerly run by Commerce Secy Lutnick and now run by his sons is one of the big buyers of these refund rights. Turns out it’s already public back in July when they were buying them at 20 to 30 cents on the dollar. www.wired.com/story/cantor...
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
This is not what America is. It’s not. And we must make this very clear when we vote in 2026.👇
Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
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
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
MADVoters’ online tool at MADVoters.org/no-cheaters will guide you through calling or emailing statehouse officials to tell them, “No cheating in democracy!” Help us stand up to this destructive & costly attack on democracy, and oppose MAGA’s early redistricting plot to rig the 2026 elections.
Considering Pritzker knows more about successful governing, and Trump only knows how to create an utter disaster and lying about the Epstein files, why would anyone want the rotting dictator's input?

A plan for Gaza circulating within the Trump administration calls to “voluntarily relocate” Palestinians, establish U.S. control, and turn the area into a “gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.” (Washington Post)
“ICE Risks Overplaying Its Hand” If what is happening to human rights is not across a moral line, then hell is coming. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Sorry Rotting Donnie, Newsom does it better.
Oh
BREAKING: Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office. “Something's wrong with this president!" Who agrees?
I stand with Chicago. I stand with Mayor Johnson. 🚨 NEW: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an executive order to resist Trump’s federal invasion and occupation of the city. Details in 🧵

Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Tom Homan's message to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Get out of the way. Because we're going to do it."
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.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
It just keeps getting better.
Foremost what now?
A Texas Republican lawmaker who last week blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander made disturbing comments at a 2022 legislative hearing — suggesting a way to deal with immigrants might be: “shoot, shovel and shut up.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
🚨🚨🚨 This IG video did not give a location or any additional information. I usually require more information, but not in this case. This looks like a school and the victim looks like a kids. Who is the perpetrator here in uniform?
Now there is an FBI that protects criminals, a CIA that attacks allies, and a Department of Homeland Security that fights the homeland.
It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.
#AZ07 Please elect Adelita Grijalva to Congress! She will fight for the hardworking people in her district and demand better from our gov’t. Do not sit this out! Vote for Adelita! #ProudBlue #OneV1 #Pinks
Mike Johnson dismisses the unpopularity of the Big Beautiful Bill: "The individual provisions of that giant piece of legislation are wildly popular." CNN host John Berman immediately debunks that claim.
Trump regime operatives exposed in plot to undermine Denmark and overthrow the government in Greenland. Regime operatives attempted to disrupt democracy through misinformation and disruption operations aimed at recruiting traitors and collaborators to help sway public consensus towards the US.
I wholeheartedly agree with this!
Mike Johnson: "I hope the National Guard does go to Chicago"
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
"Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket has quietly become a pro-democracy media force, expanding its newsroom to 20 staffers as it surpasses 50,000 paid subscribers." Story here: www.status.news/p/democracy-...
🚨🚨🚨 Alligator Alcatraz 🚨🚨🚨 Univision is reporting calls from Alligator Alcatraz that guards have used teargas against the detainees. Several Florida detainees and their families contacted Noticias 23 to report an alleged riot. "They're mistreating us, they're beating us, help us." #DCFL
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”
Don’t look away
Welch: Everybody's missing the point here. The point is, he's doing this on purpose. He's priming the public to get accustomed to having the military in the streets
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
Rep. Barry Moore, R-Alabama, exited a town hall in his home district through the back door after facing relentless heckling from attendees in Baldwin County.
Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
🚨🚨 U.S. March on Wall Street: Americans are sick of having a mob boss running the country.
Reuters repeating a falsehood here. Most of this money was already granted to intel under the chips act passed by Biden. The rest under other pre-Trump programs
🚨Now in D.C. 🚨 “Hey hey, ho ho, millionaires have got to go!”
Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3
Give us a break. The only action you guys have taken is to weaken gun laws, allowing scores of criminals to get guns; shut down funding for anti-violence programs in our cities; close the Office of Gun Violence Prevention. You've taken action - and it's gotten people killed.
Bill Cassidy knew better from the beginning! He and senate GOP are responsible.
GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )
Until he broke the norms and guardrails, I would have thought the same. If he's still alive, he plans on being president in 2028.
The president and Congress have extraordinary power to micromanage D.C. because we are not legally recognized as a state. We need people of conscience across the country to join us in the fight for D.C. Statehood: https://action.aclu.org/send-message/congress-support-dc-statehood-now
CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo
100% Agree!
Here he goes.

Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Angus: I’m saying we need to start building progressive media that people actually listen to. I’ll give you an example: MeidasTouch. Wherever I go in Canada, working-class people listen to MeidasTouch because they talk about what’s happening in a practical way. They give facts.
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
This is what fascism looks like. And it’s here. In America. And only we the people can stop it.👇
Remember - he the guy that likes to tout health issues while eating and Steak & Shake, all while sounding like he's talking through a window fan. He is the embodiment of what not to do to your body.

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...
I also have a similar autistic granddaughter. This moron is lighting healthcare on fire. Whether or not he is trying to find the cause for autism is no longer relevant. Everything he is doing is dangerous.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
Coming up on Monday Sept. 1 in #Lebanon, #Indiana, at Noon, a very short drive from greater #Lafayette. Organized by Women's March of Indiana.
RFK Jr. is a piece of shit, but of all people who should shoulder the blame of him being pushed through the nomination process, Bill Cassidy knew better. As furious as I am with RFK, I am equally so with Cassidy.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
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.
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.
“He tried to light democracy on fire.” Says Gov Gavin Newsom 👇👇👇👇👇
Why do we allow people this mentally ill to buy even *one* gun?
And to my former congressional colleague Sen Bill Cassidy, you’re responsible for all of this as well. Shame on you.
Well that was a bad idea. Cassidy should have seen that from a mile away. What a bullshit excuse/reason.
We are seeing.
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), top Dem on the Senate health committee, on this evening's chaos at CDC: “We cannot let RFK Jr. burn what’s left of the CDC and our other critical health agencies to the ground—he must be fired."
After Texas started a gerrymandering war, several other states are proposing their own mid-decade redistricting in hopes of swaying control of the House in 2026. These are the states you should be watching ⤵️
Vaccines are safe and effective. RFK Jr. isn’t.
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.
