Americaās vicious cycle: Corporations crush workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing workers. Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesnāt have to be this way. https://youtu.be/JSralhrpK44?feature=shared
Thank you on this labor day!!
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.
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.
Pour one out for Judge Sparkle Sooknananās clerks this Labor Day weekend
Hi. Iām the executive director of the organization that had the honor of hosting the FEMA Katrina Declaration and I can confirm this is a lie. NICE TRY, KRISTI! @standupforscience.bsky.social @atrupar.com
There's only one way to stop the rumors about Donald Trump's health: a press conference. Why won't he talk to the press, and why isn't the media doggedly demanding it?
FLAG: Missouri's governor just called a special session of the state legislature to pass a gerrymandered congressional map in favor of Republicans. Just like what Greg Abbott did in Texas.
Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isnāt 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.
Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesnāt have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.
At the core of this all is just a weak sad little man that needs his ass kissed constantly.
Where are all the corporate media headlines demanding his resignation? Where are the all the assumptions that about specialists visiting the White House meaning the president is dying? They did this daily with Biden. Why not now? Are they covering for their cash cow? Are they paid to cover it up?
Itās wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasionā¦ ā¦ and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about āfighting crime!ā in the headlines. Infuriating.
Could be. Itās an odd color.
Could be! š
He looks orange
LFG!!!
Is this asshole wearing makeup now too?
They gaslit you all throughout the election.
This is not the 1980s
I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that theyāre subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.
Itās clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didnāt see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.
Rep. Summer Lee says House Dems reviewed the Epstein files provided by DOJ to the Oversight Committee and found they were 97% "recycled" material that is already public. The 3% that's new? CBP flight logs of Epstein's plane from 2000-2014.
NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garciaās defense team says that the government is attempting to coerce him to plead guilty to his criminal charges. Per filing, the government promised to deport him to Costa Rica if he pleads guilty ā and is now threatening to remove him to Uganda if he doesnāt accept the deal.
Hereās what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwellās sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
The One Ugly Distraction let ACA premium tax credits expireājacking up health care costs for 22M Americans. In VA, a 55-year-old making $63K will pay $2,410 more just to keep their plan. Working families pay the price for GOP cruelty.
Whether itās freaking out about the new Cracker Barrel logo or some other bogeyman, remember this: The GOPās nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
FLAG: Trump says he might declare a national emergency to keep National Guard troops in D.C. "If I have a national emergency, I can keep the troops there as long as I want."
Tremendous crossover move right here:
Itās cause theyāre privileged.
Here, fixed it.
Law students should not interview with these firms.
Democratic governors move forward. Advance. Now. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I for one am concerned.
The media is failing voters in Texas. They didnāt just make new maps that āfavor Republicansā, they made new maps without the voice of the voters that further disenfranchise large communities of Black Texans. These are racist maps through and through.
If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
Sherrod Brown believes Ohioans deserve affordable health care. Thatās why he took on Big Pharma to cap the price of insulin and lower the cost of prescription drugs. Meanwhile, Jon Husted voted to rip health care away from 440,000 Ohioans.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign āpermission slipsā & take police escorts to leave? Thatās not procedure. Thatās some old Jim Crow playbook.
James Madison was elected in 1812 during the War of 1812. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1864 during the Civil War. FDR was elected in 1944 during WWII. JBJ & Nixon were elected in 1964 & 1972 during the Vietnam War. George W. Bush was elected in 2004 during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
The bow of obedience from states sending national guard to DC for nothing other than pledging loyalty to DJT. Man. Something to behold.
As he unleashes troops to combat "crime," Trump is simultaneously gutting the cops on the beat that stop corporations from harming us ā the EPA, IRS, SEC, Labor Department, FTC, CFPB, Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Hello?
We have to talk about this also as an insult to the National Guard, who are being used as political props by the President and governors. They signed up to serve their country and their communities, and are now being turned into playthings of a political operation. Itās a slap in the face.
Or listen to the radio all day till you hear the song and hope the dj mentions the artist.
It weighs the fishing line down so the hook can sink down where the fishies are. The dumbest fish grab onto everything in the water and thatās the end of them.
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
A good guide for DC residents on what to do in response to the new immigration operations in DC.
Have any of these three people been asked about the terrorist attack on the CDC, inspired by Trump's HHS Secretary, yet?
Why are we only doing five???

So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
Kansas City, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Jacksonville & Tampa š¤Ø Those arenāt NFL Picks. The Coast Guard has recently flown chained prisoners from these cities to the ICE gulag system in Louisiana. How do they feel about this? š USCG (active or vet) reach out: feddrop.43@proton.me Signal: feddrop.43
Nope, still not distracted. Release the Epstein files.
I feel this should be a bigger story, right?
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down? J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so heād have an easier time kayaking and itās a blip on the radar.
If trump did nothing āconcerningā while spending time with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein - as Ghislaine Maxwell says - then there shouldnāt be a problem releasing the Epstein files in their entirety (with survivorsā names and PII redacted.)
On left: ABC: Ghislaine Maxwell told "Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern." On right: Maxwell said same about Epstein, under oath. DOJ 2022: "Simply put, the defendant lies when it suits her." Whatever is the truth, she's no source for it.
Newsflash, Wannabe Dictator: I donāt care how many times you shake the Etch A Sketch trying to redraw these lines. Iām not disappearing. Iāll be back, still on your behind every step of the way. (1/2)
Everyone in DC knows that if you want to hide something, announce it on a Friday in August. Better yet, make it nearly impossible to track down. That's exactly what SCOTUS did last week. But the news is too staggering to hide for long: SCOTUS has decided it's time to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
Remember in 2016 when Bill Clinton bumped into Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in Phoenix, and that story of INSANE IMPROPRIETY dominated the news cycle for a week? Now we have POTUS, VP, AG, and FBI Epstein strategy meetings. www.cnn.com/2025/08/05/p...
If the line prosecutor was fired, and there were no FBI agents in the interview, and the only people there were Blanche and Maxwell, WHO is your source and WHY do you consider it credible?
@msnbc.com what no one is covering - besides Texas and blue state gerrymandering, is the quiet attempt in red states to lock up more red seats. Indiana for example. indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/08/05/v...
Mark my words: Trump will defy our Supreme Court too. Itās just a matter of time.
Imagine in another country a corrupt president was trying to change the election laws. Then that president's political ally threatened to remove all the legislators of the other party to get it done. That's what's happening in Texas right now.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Reupping my piece from a couple of weeks ago on how SCOTUS has made it easier, not harder, for bad faith presidents to go after their predecessors www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Yep. This is good, but not enough coverage is pointing out what they're covering up: 1) Trump lied abt Venezuela's ties to TdA 2) So he could deport 200 men 3) Bc of their tattoos 4) To a concentration camp 5) Where they were tortured 6) As part of quid pro quo to cover up Bukele's ties to MS13
Donāt back down!
š„ @aoc.bsky.social : āEvery Republican at every level of government should be challenged, even running for dog catcherā¦ They should be challenged fighting for health care as a human right for every Americanā¦ let them know there are consequences for taking away peopleās health careā¦ā
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on Trump's firing of head of Bureau of Labor Statistics "The President is trying to cook the books by firing the non-political career civil servant who oversees the data, because he wants to hide the truth of his failed policies from the American people"
They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely š www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

What happens when you defund schools for 22 years under a GOP supermajority? krcgtv.com/news/local/m...
Heās rewriting history.
It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
FYI: the inspector general that released the shoddy report on Epsteinās jail video is the same one that ālostā the whistleblower complaint against Emil Bove, and is one of only two IGs Trump didnāt fire. He was recently moved to the Federal Reserve.
Hammer on nail... this man is going viral.
We can do better than just California
Looks like Powel doesnāt give a f*ck
Let's go, blue states.
Last year, the average S&P 500 CEO made $18.9 MILLION, while the average worker made $49,500. So much for ātrickle down economics.ā Tax the rich.
There were only two witnesses in the Epstein grand jury; further confirmation that AG Bondi asking for transcript release is nothing but a smoke screen: wapo.st/3GPfVjn
tough on crime! law and order! or... www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/n...
We need people who donāt give a f*ck.
Impoundment is here. Will anything happen? Seems like no.
ATTN: If youāre a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). Iāll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. šš»
AG Bondi testified with a lot of specificity to Congress that she had looked into this and learned from the Bureau of Prisons that it was some technical recording issue and āevery night should have that same missing minute.ā All while her department was in possession of the uncut video?
NEW: The FBI and DOJ have the original Epstein jail video, and their copy doesn't have a missing minute like the one they released to the public. They should release the missing minute. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
Some folks havenāt spent decades fighting a GOP-dominated government and it showsā¦ The GOP always lies. They are corrupted by big donors. They cover up both lies and corruption. They never admit to any wrongdoing. They project their illegal activity on to the other side. Rinse. Repeat.
I've long said: elect imperfect democrats and get a seat at the table to push them toward your preferred policy. Otherwise you get republicans, and not only will you lose your seat at the table - you'll lose the whole damn table.
