"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."

Huge news for NY and Dems in general. Nadler is a major figure. It speaks well of his values that he’s retiring instead of running again. This is going to be a hot election. It’s good for democracy he’s announcing early enough for folks to really plan.
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭

#ProudBlue If you are in the Cincinnati area, you should check this event out to kick off Lindsey’s campaign. Ohio needs more progressive candidates. Ohio needs fighter, not AIPAC funded establishment representatives. We are DONE with that BS. #FerreiraForCongress
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
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...
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.
Today’s press pool photo shows Trump leaving the White House this morning. I enhanced the image. And seriously, can an expert explain what the hell is happening to his forehead? Right above his nose and right brow.
We’re all complaining about the poor quality of journalism in the MSM, and rightfully so. Here’s a solution: don’t use it. Fewer views = less revenue. They respond to the marketplace same as any other business. I get 90% of my news from NPR…and I contribute every month.
Trump wants to erase Black history stating it’s too “woke,” not enough energy is spent on American "Success" and "Brightness.” Our nation is great because of Black geniuses. There are so many inventions by Black people. Often never receiving proper recognition for their valuable contributions.
Fatality.
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
It is wild that the Washington Post -- which claims "Democracy Dies in Darkness" -- has remained completely silent for more than a day about Trump's latest attack on free and fair elections. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Virginia Giuffre should have turned 42 this year, but her life was stolen by predators who preyed on her as a child and as a teen. She was brave, resilient and gave other survivors hope. We honor her spirit, her fight and demand justice for every victim of trafficking. social.demcast.com/s/WEVRrXIk
What could possibly go wrong?
I got the same thing. It’s from the league of women voters who claim to be non-partisan, but always seem to be for Republican policies.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Where's his hair? He looks like he's on death's door. He needs to address the media.
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.
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
This is literally the largest act of union busting in American history. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/u...
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
So he thinks I don’t remember a valid excuse!🤬 he remembers he just doesn’t want to admit that he will never vote for anything that is bipartisan
🚨This OK lawmaker was found guilty of running a vehicle with his daughter and an adult relative off of the road and INTO a ditch, causing injuries — and he is STILL in office?!? Of course, he has a history of both domestic violence and law enforcement.
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Trump is boldly opting out of the U.N.’s human rights review—the first time any member has ever refused. Critics slam it as a shameful dodge, proving the U.S. prefers skipping accountability to actually practicing human rights.
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
Clean energy isn’t “woke.” It’s an essential part of our energy future and saves us all on power bills. This administration’s war on offshore wind and solar is just going to raise Americans’ utilities.
"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:
Instagram influencer Adventorin goes viral after demonstrating how simple it is to climb over the U.S. Border Wall.

Bernie Sanders: “Secretary Kennedy is endangering the health of the American people now and into the future. Secretary Kennedy must resign.”
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."
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
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
CHICAGO…
In 2024 Sen. Merkley & I visited the Rafah gate on the Egypt-Gaza border. On the other side was Gaza’s thriving city of Rafah—home to 270K. Today we saw it reduced to rubble. The Netanyahu govt has gone beyond targeting Hamas to waging a war of destruction against all Palestinians. It must end.
I love this ad by Gavin Newsom! Must watch 👇👇👇👇👇

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Inhuman. “I don’t have any choice” is a lie.
Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
The next days and months and years will demand from all of us great courage — and solidarity. Be prepared.
Convicted Felon, Donald Trump, disrespects our armed forces & offers military funeral honors to deceased 1/6 insurrectionist, Ashli Babbitt. My latest on how the Trump Admin paid her Estate $5 million & inspired a copy-cat lawsuit from the Proud Boys. youtu.be/4SVwrjpvTAc?...
Yep, inflation’s on the rise again. Must be all that ‘winning’ we were promised. I’m definitely feeling it in my wallet. Are you?
🤬🤬
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
Lots of right-wing political pastors and charlatans about to get rich from FEMA money.
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

Don’t look away
Good.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Trump told Mike Johnson he won’t be spending $4.9B in congressionally approved foreign aid. He's cutting the budget without going through legislative branch. He's doing it by using a pocket rescission, informing them near end of fiscal year, so Congress can't act on it in the 45-day timeframe.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
American Experience has produced excellent documentaries

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse. ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

Think New Mexico isn’t fighting for patients, they’re fighting for private equity. There’s a doctor shortage because Wall Street buys up community hospitals, guts staff, and turns ERs into cash cows. Patients wait 16 hours for care while profits soar. Private equity is strip-mining hospitals.
DO NOT PUT CHILDREN ON TV TALKING ABOUT A SHOOTING THEY JUST LIVED THROUGH The media who do this are heartless bastards
Over 125 economists signed the open letter calling on the President, Congress, and the American public to uphold the principles of Federal Reserve independence and not remove Lisa Cook without due process. There's still time to sign! And please share. #EconSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...
#ProudBlue I read this book & it was so eye opening. Thank you @ryanbusse.bsky.social for calling out the gun industry & doing the right thing. The gun industry actually hopes for mass shootings. They drive higher gun sales. This is why we can’t get tighter laws. It’s pure greed. Money > Kids
Lifelong Republican, and legislative staffer, Ryan Davenport, speaks out against Trump’s Texas redistricting scheme. ‘We can’t vote for Republicans anymore because you abuse every ounce of power you are given and the only option we have left is to join the Democrats….’ Boom 💥
This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.
NEW: Yesterday, I posted that I was unable to get the COVID vaccine at my VA clinic, and many of you assured me that the new one would be available soon and that I was overreacting. I was not overreacting. I am no longer eligible for the vaccine. apnews.com/article/vacc...
Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Monday order creates an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or related backgrounds to be deputized to enforce federal law.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
Inside the USAID Fire Sale we see Marco Rubio’s brand of management. Food burned by the ton, contraceptives torched, clinics abandoned, defibrillators sold like junk. This is not oversight it is waste and fraud on a historic scale and it carries Rubio’s name stamped in ashes.
If you don't think he's testing every day to see how far he can go with authoritarianism, YOU ARE WRONG! BETTER SPEAK UP, WHILE YOU STILL CAN.
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.

The loss of subject matter expertise impacting DOJ — particularly in the counterintelligence sphere — cannot be understated. It will take years to rebuild, and in the meantime, will exact a very real cost in terms of our national security.
