I don't think "bet it all on the midterms" is a better strategy now than "bet it all on 24" was in 21, but if we're doing it anyway, I'd like to see the authors of that strategy at least working right now on the question of "how do we protect and encourage minority voting if ICE is at the polls?"
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
There’s a special place in hell for morons who get millions of people killed.
ABC News is still calling RFK Jr. a “vaccine skeptic.” The dude was one of the most prominent anti-vaccine activists for decades. There’s video of him in 2023 saying that there’s no vaccine which is safe and effective. You can call him an anti-vaccine activist!
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.
As with so many things related to the Trump administration, a great deal can be gleaned from what they don’t want to discuss.
Finally found out who Trump was playing golf with!! 🙏💕🤣
Fatality.
And....he fell asleep again!
I like the rebrand.

🚨SHAME!!! This is NOT a criminal; he was sitting on a park bench. 🚨 1/2
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
You are probably smart enough to rationalize whatever narrative about the world you want to believe, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct or you ought to do it
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
GORKA: Instead of blaming an inanimate object, which is the weapon, how about addressing the human being instead? KEILAR: DHS cut funding in July to the Minnesota Dept of Safety and the Hennepin Country Sheriff's Office in July that is the kind of funding used to assess mass violence threats
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."
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
He won’t let the press anywhere near him. This is getting weirder and weirder.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
APOLLO: “.. Will We See a Repeat of 2021 and the 1970s? .. There is upside pressure on inflation and inflation expectations .. The risks are rising that we could see another ‘inflation mountain’ emerge over the coming months.”
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Su: The BLS collects statistical information — things like the nation’s inflation rate, the unemployment rate, the number of jobs created, which industries are growing, and which are contracting. And on every one of those fronts, Trump is failing.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏

The party of “family values” is attacking our kids.
Mark Zaid, an attorney who is representing Eisenstat and several other people on the list, said the revocation of the security clearances “literally has no rhyme or reason” and carried echoes of the McCarthy era. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?
Masked ICE aren’t about safety; they’re about fear and evading responsibility. Demand transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition:
not just that he has no constitutional authority, there isn't even any particular legal or institutional mechanism by which the president can make anyone treat this as anything other than a weird advisory opinion.
America doesn't need a lawyer playing doctor – let alone one who's a cult-following science-denier. Get RFK jr the fuck out of our government. Now.
Jones: I would say to my colleagues who serve in government—keep your thoughts and prayers, keep your tweets. If you want to address gun violence, you don't need to tweet. What you need is a mirror. You have the power to change things.
Science is real
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."

Where was Trumpy for three days?
Whatever evil he is planning for Venezuela, it won't make the Epstein files go away. Nothing ever will. Release the Epstein files! Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.
SIGNS OF FASCISM 🪧
It’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a lying, cheating, thieving, adulterous, petty, vindictive, cruel, backstabbing, con-artist, scum-sucking, grifting billionaire like Trump to enter heaven. 🙏 people.com/trump-says-h...
They're releasing the Epstein files?
Today, this chapter of the Weimar Republic’s history should be revisited. At a moment in which democracy is backsliding in places as varied as Hungary, India, Turkey, and the United States, it is a reminder that democracy often erodes slowly at first, via the gradual surrender of those entrusted..
Let that sink in.
What a ridiculous person.
Someone, please take one for the team & get rid of this crazy ass nut case!!
Trump did this
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
ICYMI — JUDGE: “This case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcast…” 2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. 🤷🏻♂️ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...

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…
The regime is no longer hiding the coup…
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
This is never going away, is it?

“These policies have horrifically impacted people in rural America that vote for them because they weaponize their faith and lure them in.” - @mizzwelch.bsky.social
And this is exactly how he thinks. WTF is going on in this country? Please bring normalcy back. I beg of you. #USDemocracy
The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.
After years of trying, Texas Republicans just passed a bathroom bill targeting trans Texans. They’re obsessed with attacking people’s dignity instead of solving real problems. We stand with all our LGBT neighbors and reject this right wing shamelessness.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
After Rep Ty Burns pleaded guilty to domestic abuse, injuring his wife & assaulting his teenage daughter, it's unclear whether OK GOP & House Speaker Kyle Hilbert will take action. They even kept the case against Burns secret until Thursday, Aug. 28. THIS IS WHAT THEY DO & THIS IS WHO THEY ARE!
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.
NEWS: Walgreens just got taken over by private equity. Private equity has a record of running companies into the ground. Walgreens could be the latest victim: closing more stores, service plummeting, workers losing their jobs, and eventually bankruptcy.
Stephen Manning, this guy’s lawyer, is one of the best in the country. It’s very good news that he’s taken this case.
