A plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land without GPS navigational aid following a suspected Russian jamming attack
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Nine former CDC chiefs say RFK Jr. is endangering Americans. Amid a measles surge he fired Susan Monarez, installed unqualified advisers, and cut vaccine support. They urge Congress, medical groups, and philanthropy to defend science and public health.

Trump also says he’s working on an executive order to abolish mail in voting. Good luck, buddy.
EJ Antoni, Trump's latest retaliatory nominee for Labor Commissioner, is the chief economist at the Heritage Foundation who has been a relentless booster of Trump’s policies and has "demonstrated time and again that he does not understand economic statistics." www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-...
EJ Antoni is Trump's pick to run BLS. Here he is in front of his Zoom background, a photo of the pride of Hitler's Kriegsmarine, the Bismarck. Very appropriate pick, particularly considering that the Royal Navy sunk it in 1941.
Did you know that the US Virgin Islands had their own separate Jeffrey Epstein investigation? Yes they did. As far as I can tell it was settled out of court by JP Morgan Chase who the finger had been pointed at in the conspiracy and cover-up. I'd like to see all of the discovery and transcripts.
😆 @gavinnewsom.bsky.social’s comms team is good at this
Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty. It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days. But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.
#MorningPrayer Keep us ever true to the love in which you hold us, Lord; may our lives be centred on embracing, sharing and living out that love for the blessing of all people and all the world. Give us the strength and stamina to hold true to your love, whatever each day brings.
What happens when the Supreme Court approves Texas's gerrymandered map but rejects California's? Because that seems, to me, very likely.

There is literally NOTHING in the U.S. economy that is as good or better than it was eight months ago. NOT ONE THING! Everything is worse, most especially inflation.
Every day it is clearer and clearer that Trump & the Project 2025 cartel are NOT working for the benefit of America.
I don’t trust the government economic statistics coming out now. It’s all propaganda to support the Convicted Felon.
In 6 months of T*, the $ is down MORE THAN 10% against the Euro & the Swiss franc, & v EVERY MAJOR CURRENCY in the world. Meanwhile, Trump's BigBastard'sBill has added three trillion ($3,000,000,000,000) to the national debt. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Exactly. If they get a one-year "buyout", they can't file for a year.
The inflation figures reported were .7%. The staples I buy at Costco are up 8-10%. Trump is cooking the books. Also, when you lay off 600,000 federal workers how can the unemployment rate not go up?
The Chinese are no longer buying as many US Treasury bonds to replace the bonds that are maturing and cashing out. So the US will have to increase interest rates to attract investors to buy the bonds. Yeah trump is a real financial genius. Screw over the countries that are financing your debt.
He is destroying America for the fun of it. He could care less about anyone but himself. He is enjoying playing king and spending America's money like it was his.
Not to mention higher prices and gaps on grocery store shelves.
steady. They aren’t. You don’t see an empty Las Vegas and conclude that the economy is healthy. But they can only cook the books for so long. Unemployment is likely 2 points higher than they are claiming.
TACO is imploding the value of the dollar on purpose so he can make a fortune for himself in crypto. This is what happens when you elect a self-serving narcissist. This WILL end very badly for the U.S. economy. This admin is already cooking the books to make it look like things are remaining
We have become a 3rd world country. The loss of life in Kerrville TX is indicative of what you see in a 3rd world country. 3rd world countries don’t have warning systems on their rivers. Congratulations Texas and the US, you now have 3rd world status.
Southern Ocean circulation reversal may have already happened. This is a surprise and scary stuff. theconversation.com/completely-u...
The GOP just collectively voted to add $4 Trillion to the deficit.
The fascists control every single social media app except this one. They will do everything they can to destroy this place because freedom scares them. This is why they sent JD Vance first. Everywhere he touches dies.
Meanwhile..
Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?
Daily reminder that Republicans are playing politics with our lives. They are NOT pro-life - they are pro-birth, #DontKillOurMedicaid
RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.
While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.
So True
Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both now said that Fox News is propaganda. The right wing is tearing itself apart and I’m loving every minute of it.
The Watergate break-in (which happened 53 years ago this week) began the modern era of “whatever-it-takes-to-win” politics — blatant disregard of any and all norms and laws that interfered with gaining or keeping power. Trump is the logical and inevitable consequence. https://bit.ly/3QV2m4s
A judge ruled EPA termination of environmental justice grants was unlawful. EPA cannot “thumb its nose at Congress” by refusing to spend appropriated funds, the judge wrote.
Ripping up the deal worked really well, right?
So the village idiot, Ted Cruz, is quoting from the Old Testament which is the OLD LAW according to Jesus. This just proves how fake the right is toward Christianity.
Apparently it's cool to use the Bible as a pretext for war, but forget about those parts on how to treat the poor, neighbors, immigrants... 🙄
Particularly if these idiots actually knew anything about the Bible, they would know that Jesus came to earth to end the old law. When Jesus was crucified the temple curtain was torn in two to signify the end of the old law and the beginning of the new law (New Testament).
I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.
They are taking money from the poor to hand to the rich. Reverse Robin Hood politics. We must reject the “Big Beautiful” Bullshit.
The Tucker-Ted Cruz interview goes off the rails when Ted calls Tucker an anti-Semite and Tucker calls Ted a “sleazy feline.”
Terry Moran being suspended by ABC News is ironic given Moran went out of his way to not embarrass Trump over the president’s delusion about the doctored MS13 photo, repeatedly saying ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and ‘let’s move on’ but they still got him suspended. You can’t appease these people ever.
Calling what corporate media does "News" is like saying a photo of a bird on a branch is a documentary on flight. They only tell half of the story, at best. They leave out the good that people create & share each day to overcome monumental challenges, most of which is created by the greedy few!
This is the current head of Homeland Security. Be sure to remind her she said this:
I wonder what America would be like if we actually did the right thing.
All we asked for was healthcare, clean air, feed hungry children and the right to love who we choose. What we get in return is tax cuts for the rich, military parades and soldiers in the streets.
Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”
Just to recap where we are… A federal agency is using unidentified mercenaries to wage a soft war against the people of LA.
This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.
This isn't really my beat but I honestly do wonder about this, about the lack of coalitions and open building of models given all the expertise at universities, but then I consider the sociocultural divides between expertises and I don't wonder so much. Still I feel there is something big here
How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??
Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me
"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."
"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14
Are you worried about making your next debt payment? Bloomberg reporters want to hear your story.
Biden was competent... he brought Trump's 7.4 trillion budget overrun down to 3.4 in just 3 years, brought unemployment to under 4%, and was reducing Trump induced inflation, month after month. Trump has now shot it all to hell, aided by comments like Mehdi's
No, the real reason Mehdi was the media thought Joe Biden was boring and their ratings were going down so they cooked up a story about Joe Biden being old and senile. Let’s get our facts straight the media and corporations did not want a second Joe Biden term so they made up a story.
The guy that has back doors into every government computer system is feuding with the guy that has the nuclear codes. What could possibly go wrong?
Former Bush Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Donald Trump: “I believe Mr. Trump is beyond repair. He is stubbornly uninformed…he is unqualified and unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.” REPOST if you stand with Secretary Gates against Donald Trump!
Share this far and wide. It will only get worse.
Excellent question.
Giving tax breaks to the very wealthy few is an expense. Giving life saving aid to the vulnerable working class is an investment that pays back dividends to all of us! Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 tell your Senator: Stop the Big Brutal Boondoggle!
I run a non-profit that works on a real policy issue (parking) and I have staff I try to pay well, but many hundreds — or maybe thousands — of people give money to divisive keyboard warriors every month to read their substacks. Support good work by good folks here. parkingreform.org/support
I said healthcare is a human right and now Elon Musk is posting about “suicidal empathy” at 3 am:
He needs some jail time.👇
Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.
I’m closely monitoring the situation in Boulder. This is horrifying, and this cannot continue. We must stand up to antisemitism.
Harvard is offering a FREE online course on the US Government & Constitution. Resistance isn't always loud. Knowledge is Power. Spread the word. #MomSky pll.harvard.edu/course/ameri...
CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.
I never imagined that providing palliative care in shelters & on the streets would lead to this. Today, I was honoured to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal… awarded to Canadians whose work strengthens their communities & country. This recognition carries many names & many stories. 💙🙏🏽
New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power. If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.
🧵I am in a group chat with history teachers from across the country that I’ve known for nearly a decade now. I sent them information about the new Oklahoma Social Studies standards. OK teachers will be required to teach about irregularities in the 2020 election. My friends all laughed.
Integrety is priceless. Too few at the top have it these days.
We should be fighting cancer and poverty not each other and our nation's leaders. But there's a poverty of values that produced this regime and it is acting like a cancer eating away at our vital systems of democracy that keep us alive.
Sean Duffy changed his wife's flight on Monday to avoid Newark Airport and then made a TV appearance on Tuesday insisting it's safe to fly from there.
Sleepy Don! It was always a projection.
I stopped buying stuff I don't need a long time ago. But I think the most important thing to stop buying is buying into the lie that youth, beauty, and wealth are success/happiness.
In a case like this, you cuff the suspect in the front. Want to know why they declined to do so? Because they knew this was a photo op. These people are truly sick.
Tulip time. ‘Brown Sugar’ standing tall, scented, like a wallflower. ‘Prinses Irene’ is glowing orange. The apricot and magenta ‘Slawa’ and the ever reliable‘Queen of Night’ coming up behind.
We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower
Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.
