This all the working people of America and the world, happy Labor Day. A fabulous working man’s ballad, sung by its author, the amazing Jimmy Webb: Wichita Lineman. youtu.be/7X2TXwREYOY?...
Thank you on this labor day!!
America deserves someone better than Susan Collins.
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:

@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
There's only one real reason to take such extreme steps and destroy the Department of Justice. It's as Shakespeare warned about "killing all the lawyers" because that's how authoritarians maintain power. We stand in their way.
Everyone needs to read this 2018 article by Stephen Miller’s uncle. It’s important to see how much destruction Miller is doing in the context of his past and his family history. Wow. He needs to be stopped. Some way. Somehow. Before he destroys more people’s lives. He’s a psychopath.
I'm tired of this theater where Donald Trump asks Republicans to do something, they seem to push bank and then cave. The only two factions of the current GOP are proud MAGA and scared MAGA. Anyone who thinks Republicans are acting in good faith is delusional.
Ignorance can graduate with honors. Sometimes it’s willful ignorance, and with the MAGAts, it frequently is willful ignorance.
Bless his ignorant little heart.
Trump is creating hate.
Don’t look away

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DV1 The current regime’s disdain for medicine, science, and public health policies is imploding and hurting people. 🙏Keep raising your voice and Vote Blue for saner public health advocates. For the health of you and your loved ones.
Thank you for speaking out. We live in a culture that hates women, that jokes about hating women. There is no room for continuing to normalize it, and messages like your are key to fighting against it. Hillary and Kamala were defeated because of our hatred for women.
Former Representative Armagost kicked off an online harassment campaign against me and my family which was enabled by Republican leadership. I’m speaking out because this type of workplace misconduct keeps women, people of color, and other vulnerable communities out of politics.
BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM
People are weird. But glad they’re restoring what nature makes, even if for strange reasons.
I bet most people feel the same way.....
It’s a little bit funny that so many people with influential platforms remain committed to the idea that Trumpism, as a political project, is mysterious and hard to pin down – while Trump himself constantly goes “Gotta protect the white real Americans from the black and brown hordes.”
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
And we don’t have to imagine it. It’s right there in our face. Fascism and its racist, misogynist supporters must leave our shores. Go to another fascist country if you like fascism so much.
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Traitors one and all.
Trump's use of red state National Guards in DC is really about viciously turning Americans against each other, about stoking hate and violence *among Americans.* JB Pritzker's response is so good because it lays *this* bare. Me and @brianbeutler.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1997...
“Look, we just learned that Ratcliffe and Patel participated in a 4-year effort to frame Hillary Clinton based off emails fabricated by Russian spies. Can you please not be so horny to normalize all this that you ignore that the fact pattern here is precisely the same?”
Highly trained National Guard troops sent to Washington DC at a cost of $1 million dollars per day supposedly to fight crime, now tasked with picking up trash.

Isn’t it (past) time for the EU to send Russia home? Why is the world (other than Trump - we know why he supports his supporter) allowing Russia’s horrifying, lethal, destructive actions on Ukraine? This has gone on too long.
Russia carried out a combined strike on #Ukraine last night,launching 598 drones,2 Kh-47M2 Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles,9 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles,20 Kh-101 cruise missile ▪️Kyiv:The Russian strike killed 10 people,including a child,injured at least 48 citizens

“Papers, please”
Just say Nancy Reagan and her horrible husband ruined America.
Political parties need religion ONLY to justify unethical behavior. If politics is based in ethics, politics will flourish. Religion - all religion - is a mythology of control.
Sunday Nawal El Saadawi was an Egyptian feminist writer, activist and physician. She wrote numerous books on the subject of women in Islam, patriarchy, class, and colonialism.
This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
They federalized the KKK to combat the undocumented and homeless. It’s only thoughts and prayers for mass shootings.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
Usually, I am no fan of gerrymandering by either party, but I am tired of fighting with one hand tied behind my back. Tired of bringing balloons to a gun fight. Tired of playing by the rules when one party stopped doing that decades ago. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Ro DeSantis is a horrible person.
LGBTQ people and our history will never be erased, and the lives taken at Pulse will never be forgotten.
This morning there is a public memorial for officer David Rose, who was killed two weeks ago after being the first to respond to the gunman outside CDC. Our hearts are heavy. We will always be grateful for his sacrifice. We'll be radio silent here until after the memorial is concluded.
Wouldn’t that be a helluva thing!
Check this shit! Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents. Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.
They have died in darkness
Meanwhile the racist/sexist attack on Fani Willis is still not resolved. Georgia Republicans shamelessly shield Trump and his gang from justice by showing their sexist white hoods.
Lawfare’s Ben Wittes was the first person on the scene of the John Bolton raid. This is what he saw: www.thebulwark.com/p/fbi-action...
This is so intricately and perfectly woven that I may have to believe in God now. But that works only if God is an evil mfer.
Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence
How to say you lack self-awareness without saying you lack self-awareness. Well. Or any awareness, for that matter.
By contrast, this piece is mere stenography not journalism. Repeats administration talking points without scrutiny, omits legal & historical context, and fails to include expert or stakeholder perspectives. Normalizing political intervention in public history without interrogating its implications.
I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.
Just now…
Ossoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."

He is disgusting enough; leave poor Dracula alone. 😬😂 But these words should never be forgotten.
Thank you!
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
TACO Trump.
Oh please. Yes, let’s go down this rabbit hole while a fascist disappears people off the street.
The Republican party has been scamming the middle class and the poor for more than 50 years. Every part of their ethos has turned out to be a lie and a scam. Trump latched on to the right scumbag crowd for him
Fingers fucking crossed.
Retweet this forever until this is fixed. We poor people feel so guilty about a steeper tax system, but don’t realize that it was very steep before tickle down, before we first elected a bad actor as President. Back when the middle class could afford a house and we built the interstate system.
The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
That made me scream! 😂😂😂😂
Whaaaaaat? Must watch. Please be on in the US.
Poldark! I want more Poldark! with Aiden Turner!
Far worse than embarrassing. Anyone in America (anywhere?) who defends Putin’s naked aggression toward Ukraine is complicit.
Can I Get A “Hell Yeah?” 😉😉😉
Notification about the Kennedy Center Honors:
No. It’s not America at all. Just as the South wasn’t America in 1861 when it fired in Federal forces. These insurrectionists are not America.
This is not America anymore.
What a disgusting pee pee being.
Thank you for that.
Listening to Jess Piper: She’s a survivor who knows how much victims need justice. But she warns—fascism isn’t a distraction from that fight. It’s the plan. Authoritarians silence survivors, erase rights, and protect predators. We have to fight both. #USDemocracy #Pinks
Remember the email Lady...
. . . Against the standard “is it white enough and male enough?”
Rep. Brett Guthrie doesn't give a damn about Kentucky women and babies. His Medicaid cuts just killed a birthing center before it opened, eliminated nursing jobs and will leave pregnant women with fewer places to safely give birth. His idea of family values leaves mothers and babies behind.
Epstein And never let them forget it.
I want to remind everyone as we discuss the CPI/inflation numbers today, from July 30: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics is reducing or ending the collection of data that is used to calculate the Consumer Price Index." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/30/b...
Wow what an ad.
We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both. Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!
🚨 PLEASE read this important 🧵 on the rise of Christian Nationalism in America. These people already have enough power to pull off their goals if we do not pay attention & stop them.
This Administration doesn’t know how to tell the truth.
For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq. “If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.” National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC. A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.
Dannnnnng.
Abuse?
