A gold plated participation trophy for reprobates.
Will be a blockbuster… after it could have done some good.
Well said, Jason. He’s absolutely right, you know!🎯
Susan Collins is concerned!
America’s 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 doesn’t have to be this way. https://youtu.be/JSralhrpK44?feature=shared
Go, Graham, go!
Poster corpse for the fast food, no exercise lifestyle.
Let’s hear the man speak! If he’s Mr Mumbles, something is afoot.
Something that has been missing from the Trump administration’s review of the Epstein case: considering the survivors. This week, they speak out, and we should all be listening. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Just saw a clip on ABC news that showed a small Guatemalan child being led to a plane for deportation with her ankles shackled. This country has lost its soul.
"How Silicon Valley Groomed JD Vance to Replace Trump and Usher in the Broligarchy" Vance has been groomed by Silicon Valley oligarchs to replace Trump and establish a techo-fascist utopia for the world's wealthiest men who want to conquer space and live forever. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

No, but many are walking around with resting stroke face.
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."
Not just beef! Brazilian coffee, fresh produce (labor shortage) a wide variety of staples (tariffs). Thanksgiving will be a challenge to many Americans.
Beef prices have hit record highs this Labor Day Weekend — in part thanks to Trump's tariffs. Remember when Trump said he would bring down the cost of groceries? https://youtu.be/9EXi6xyOXSk?feature=shared
Worthless
Once again we’ll be voting against something rather than for something. Many of us will remain Independents until the Dems make way for a new generation that stands for something and isn’t afraid to lead.
America was warned repeatedly, and yet Trump still won the popular vote last November. Apparently, only the traumas of destitution and death will awaken a substantial number of MAGA spellbound Americans. And even then, some will continue to believe. Brace yourselves for imminent impact.
Among many other unpleasant things, the 100 hour work week is what’s considered making America great again.
Resting stroke face gives away the game. The rabid hyenas surrounding him are salivating in anticipation.
NEW: The trump administration attempted to remove 600 terrified unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend. Judge Sooknanan stopped it. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sookna...
The best outcome is to oust MAGA and implement impartial/non-partisan commissions nationwide.
Not today, Satan‼️ Got this garbage in the mail a few days ago. Republicans trying to trick California voters into voting NO on Prop 50. Suddenly they care about “democracy”? Please. Vote YES on Prop 50. Don’t let the cheaters write the rules.
Also got those. Great waste of money and more landfill. They’re not dealing with Bugtussle. California sees right through this crap. But just in case, we’re writing postcards to remind folks to vote YES!
Trump has alienated friend and foe alike. America First is America Alone.
Stop. Voting. Republican.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
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.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
1000 Little Girls Were Sexually Abused & Raped By Epstein & Ghislane Maxwell. Here Are Six Women Who Were Teens When Maxwell Groomed, Sexually Assaulted, Raped & Trafficked Them To Rich Depraved Pedophile Men. They Were Raped. Believe Them. tRump Is In The Epstein Files. youtu.be/9sweVMJzJ-s?...

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
It’s new BLS policy. That creative writing degree is finally coming in handy.
And Democrats
😂
He’s dead, Jim.
And good luck
Or just letting it die on the vine.
More “wag the dog.” Nice try, cankles. Now produce those Epstein files without any redactions. You’re not fooling anyone.
Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Unfortunately, we need these people more than we care to admit. Their absence will be harmful to us in many ways, not the least of which is our loss of humanity.
I don’t care what’s wrong with him as long as he’s suffering.
This is a six-year-old’s explanation of why there are cookie crumbs all over the kitchen.
wow
I blame autocorrect.
The Trump administration tried to snatch unaccompanied minors from foster homes, put them on planes and deport them illegally, on the weekend, during the night lawyers worked through the night to prevent it, while kids sat on the tarmac words fail me
That is such a CEO thing to do.
🤣 And most definitely manly.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
And changing the name of the Department of Defense to Department of War won’t help that.
It has now been SIX DAYS since Donald Trump has delivered any public remarks. His last public remarks were on August 25th, during a ceremony in the Oval Office. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
They didn’t realize how good they had it. Now they know and it’s too late. That’s pretty much where the whole country is going.
This does not compute.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

I'm going to be on with @velshi.com at 11 to talk about my article on the small acts of noncompliance that we can take against our dispicable government. I guess Summer is over. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
That’s the hope.
Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness. Dems should polarize this debate to the max. Thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Who could have imagined that they would freak out in Washington, D.C. (It Can’t Happen Here)
Where else can you get paella with tots?
The only question now is how much enshittification can the country stand before we collectively meltdown? Expensive eggs brought us here to Trump II. What happens when the price of everything skyrockets?
As usual, the “woke” option is better than the selectively nostalgic one. Oh, how I yearn for the days of squishy, empty calorie, no fiber bread!
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
He’s simple minded, lazy and impatient, so he thinks every problem has a quick, easy and simple solution. We should all be ashamed that he won the popular vote last November.
Dead man walking… slowly
Dead man walking
Stiffing workers since 1968.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
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."
New plan: we get Obama to demand the death certificate
This sounds bad.
#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/
greedy cowards
This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
I’ve already reserved my spot.
How about never? Is never good for you?
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I don’t get the attraction of Florida. But then I’m not a billionaire who saves enough in taxes to buy a Taj Mahal residence.
Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who was shot while committing a violent crime that demonstrated a clear intention to do bodily harm to the people on the other side of those doors. The officer ended the threat she represented...as they were required to do by lethal force if necessary. It was
He’ll come back as compost for one his shithole golf properties.
He looks like every insult he’s hurled at others.
Two psychologists have warned that Trump shows signs of dementia—specifically frontotemporal dementia, linked to deteriorating psychomotor functioning. The blurry photos released today do nothing to dispel the growing speculation that something is seriously wrong with Trump.
An investment in democracy
I prefer the more accurate one that says TWAT.

This will not end well for Missouri.
Now he’s pushed India away from us and toward our adversaries. Who’s sorry now? Doh!
She was there to step on his IV line.
If the country shrugs off children being shot while praying in church, what are the chances we’ll care about this?
Even If it only makes his cankles worse, it’s worth it.
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
