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…
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."
I'm 71. Same.
Los Angeles - Black mayor D.C. - Black mayor Chicago - Black mayor Baltimore - Black mayor San Francisco - Just lost a Black mayor Seattle - Black/Japanese mayor New York - Black mayor (technically) and Letitia James We gotta stop with the "Democratic Run cities" bullshit and see what it is
Rep. Dan Goldman: "This is a coverup. This is a massive cover up...Donald Trump was hot to trot and Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were leading the charge to release the Epstein files. Now, all of a sudden, they don't want them released. They are trying to hide something."
What bullshit
Hope he croaks before he can get this done.
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?"
Clearly not dead enough
I hate him so much.
We’re already there.
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.
LIES
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
If you want to see where MAGA is headed, look no further than this week’s National Conservatism summit. Here, the vision of a single religion, as the glue that holds a nation-state together, is at the forefront.
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
I don't like this new rule. I much preferred a presidency subject to checks and balances. But thanks to Trump and the Supreme Court, we don't have that anymore. And Democrats aren't going to get it back by acting like the adults in the room. They'll only wind up ceding more power to the arsonists.
Oh, the courts might object? The courts that the Trump administration has defied with impunity? The Supreme Court that handed Trump a huge win in his battle to unilaterally repeal the 14th Amendment? Give me a break. The norms are gone. There's one rule now: The president does whatever he wants.
Everything I've seen about Democrats' version of Project 2029 is far too modest and weak-kneed. Democrats need to look at the precedents Trump is setting (and shattering) and figure out how a progressive can maximally wield the power that this administration is concentrating in the executive branch.
Where I live, in D.C., the Trump administration just effectively repealed our gun laws by refusing to enforce restrictions on AR-15s and public carry. It's a two-way street, right? The next Democratic administration should declare a nationwide ban on assault weapons. It's an emergency, after all.
NONE of these plans are any more extreme than what Trump is currently doing with the help of the Supreme Court. If Trump can shut down the Department of Education and CFPB, President AOC can shut down ICE. If Trump can kill green energy projects, President Newsom can kill the fossil fuel industry.
Impound ICE's funding and redirect the money toward mass refugee resettlement. Cut off federal funding to states with draconian abortion laws and use the money to build reproductive health clinics in those states instead. End oil and gas subsidies then funnel the money to green energy projects.
Other things the next Democratic president should claim a prerogative to do unilaterally: •establish Medicare for All •forgive all student loans •legalize weed •mandate nationwide non-partisan redistricting It's an emergency! And he's the duly elected commander-in-chief! That's how this works now.
I am serious when I say that none of those actions would be more radical than what Trump is currently using his executive power to do—almost always with permission from the Supreme Court. And if the judiciary stands in the way, why not follow Judge Emil Bove's maxim and "tell courts 'fuck you'"?
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that Trump’s deployment of military forces to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law that prohibits the use of the armed forces as a domestic police force.
While he is renaming Executive Branch departments, he may as well rename the DOJ to Department of Domestic War.

🤣. Happy Birthday!
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...
For ILLINOIS !! Indite the GOP -IL. AG!
These awards have no meaning anymore thanks to Trump.
Good

President Trump has ended collective bargaining rights for more than one million federal workers. Unions have sued to block the move, but agencies are terminating contracts as litigation continues.
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Oh, yeah.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Thank you so much.
California stepping up.
Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
It's like someone breaking into your house to steal your stuff, injuring himself in the process, and then suing you for his medical expenses.
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.
Looks bad
Let it be
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump said in a weekend social media post he plans to issue an executive order to impose voter ID requirements. And he reiterated his desire to ban mail voting. The president lacks the authority to take either step. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Thou shalt not end vaccines. God will not save you from plague. The Middle Ages should’ve made that very clear.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
JD Vance: “I don’t believe Trump” will improve the lives of his voters. { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
JD Vance on Donald Trump: “I’m a Never Trump guy. I never liked him. I don’t think he’s the person. I don’t think he cares about folks. I think that he’s noxious and is leading the white working class to a very dark place.” { ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social }
JD Vance: “Trump is a really bad candidate and frankly, I think, a really bad person.” { ht: @patriottakes.bsky.social }
Yeah, JD. So what happened?
What an ugly fellow
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Maybe he’ll just croak. That would be a huge distraction!

Go, Lily, go! Party cat! 🥳
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
I mean, look at the guy. How can anyone think he should be the voice of making us all healthy again? He is a shriveled up, self-abusing mess!
The whole administration is there to destroy. That's it.
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

@beyer.house.gov Most Democrats are so articulate regarding the problems that face our country. The problem seems to be that the Republicans are better at destroying governance than Democrats are at actually governing. We want Democrats to BE EFFECTIVE.

Mass shootings are an American nightmare. But RFK Jr will kill more Americans than all the mass shooters combined. And Senator Bill Cassidy M.D. let it happen. It’s the greatest case of medical malpractice in history.

The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.
F ‘em
And you are doing what about it?
@kerrykennedy.bsky.social
Been saying this for awhile: RFK knows vaccines work. He just doesn't think they're worth it because he's a deeply twisted individual who doesn't think that sick people deserve to live.
If they were comfortable and unbothered they wouldn’t be gerrymandering like lunatics.
One of the consequences of constantly and loudly lying to the public on a daily basis is that rational adults aren't inclined to take on good faith that all is well when things are quiet. The social media chatter tonight is the fault of one person and one person only.
It is a record of shame. It should be documented and never forgotten, lest we repeat history.
😕
If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.
Have a good weekend! ❤️

Wow
Maybe his cankles and senile purpura are acting up.
Sad and true
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.
