If AOC's star power helps propel Mamdani to mayor in NYC, and Bernie's star power helps Graham Platner unseat Susan Collins, while small moves, they would be nice steps toward a more progressive future. It does my little socialist heart good thinking about them boosting other progressives.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. Many people are saying that Grab-Ass Grandpa’s announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. today is a distraction from Wednesday’s press conference with 10 of Epstein’s victims. Well, duh. Thank you for your inattention on this matter.

My guess is the announcement is he's starting a war to distract from being dead (and Epstein).
Long ago, I practiced learning a poem every day. It strengthened my memory. I want to return to this practice, so I bought a book of Ukrainian love poetry. Maybe you’ll find my experience useful (or a little inspiring 😉).
Approximately two-thirds of Canadians believe that Prime Minister Mark Carney's administration should maintain a hard stance in trade negotiations, particularly in response to U.S. tariffs. Should we pay more forever? #cdnpoli
I went to a new little cafe and enjoyed the quiche but this weekend they had a vendor there selling raw milk and...that seems bad? Right?
The Bible and the Constitution are similar in exactly one way: the people who scream about them the most are the people who understand them the least.
Tell Fitzpatrick to stand up for his colleagues US Rep. Scanlon and Lee who were denied their congressional right to conduct oversight and visit the Moshannon ICE facility. It would mean speaking against his donor, the GEO Group, but it's what's a true bipartisan would do. PA - 215 579-8102
In one of the country's priciest housing markets, Utah's leaders worry young people are shut out from building wealth. But despite new incentives, few developers are signing on to build smaller homes.
For some reason I was just thinking about Bush v. Gore. First time in my life the Supreme Court let a candidate steal an election.

Rep. Jerry Nadler, 78, a leading liberal figure for the Democratic Party in Congress, will not seek reelection next year after more than three decades representing New York. He said he was stepping down to make room for younger candidates.
There is still beauty in the world.
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
This is getting very very ugly for North Carolina. It's 34-7 TCU and the total yardage is 389-108.

So here’s the interior map of OUR HOUSE-don’t know how old this map is What room are they in?
Whoever threw a trash bag from the 2nd floor did not want its contents going out the 1st floor.
Is that where the #EpsteinFiles are stored?
Gets past the guards at the door, prevents the inspection of packages leaving the White House.
Trump locked himself up in one of the rooms for 5 days like Howard Hughes, probably watching clips of himself over and over, peeing in jars, and shitting in plants. So.....
OMG! I thought your post was a JOKE, but you weren’t kidding! Nope. Black bags being tossed out of the second story window. What is it? Sacks of money? Who knows.
Don't worry. It was only ethics and integrity and they wern't actually using those anyway.
The WH has been turned into a two story trailer by the white trash living in it. How disgusting!
They turned the White House into an asylum for the criminally insane and the inmates aren't happy with the lunch selection.
He must have stopped up the toilets again flushing incriminating documents. Now he's tossing them out the window because he thinks "out of sight, not my problem!"
That was the constitution.💙✌🏻
Last time he just rolled a uhaul up and loaded it with secret documents. This is less suspicious. Who picked it up?
They're trashy af. Probably throwing out antique vases so they can spray paint some foam fleur de lis stickers for the hallway.

Yeah....I'm gonna stick with the over 30k lies he's actually been accused of during the first admin plus these 8 months of MORE lies he's told so far. I wouldn't believe Yam Tits said the sky was blue and the grass was green. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Cherubs are only $15! But Donald says his in the Oval Office are solid gold, and that paint can’t match real gold.
You’re just jealous because you didn’t buy polyurethane wall accents from Home Depot (paint sold separately).
🎯😂...I've been saying this for decades. True 'class' is rooted in manners and a genuine consideration for others - not some false narrative from aristocratic desires to distinguish themselves from the general population.
Trump has always been whisky tango. We've always associated WT with being poor. Not true. WT is classless, tasteless, and crass. We all know plenty of people who are poor, but are still classy and good people. Think about it, right?
The White House is now a double-wide trailer. A pig in a tuxedo is still a pig. 🇺🇸
First day of school! Thankful for the teachers, professionals, police officers, crossing guards, and everyone who makes it happen! I’m a product and beneficiary of amazing public schools. World class public education should be available to everyone.
Please don’t get your hopes up for this 2 PM announcement. He is failing, it’s just going to be him throwing a shiny coin to distract us with something new.
Ports across the country were planning to become economic hubs for the growing offshore wind industry. The Trump administration is cancelling grants to build the infrastructure for it.
Party preparation is ever so important. - Make your Playlist. - Save that pizza place number in your phone. - Keep a variety of drinks on hand - Send out rsvps - Wait for him to die.

You will almost never see the mainstream media criticize each other. They barely even criticize right wing media like Fox. At a certain point it begins to resemble the mafia.

Volkswagen Brazil was found guilty of subjecting workers to conditions “analogous” to slavery between 1974 and 1986 in the Amazon and ordered to publicly acknowledge the abuses and pay more than $30 million in damages.
India, China and Russia are about to forge a global trade alliance that may even supplant the U.S. dollar as the principal trade currency. That would be disastrous for us. The thing is we might (maybe) beat the GOP in 26, but so much damage will be done

🔥🔥🔥 Carney on Poilievre - “I honestly believe he disdains much about the country. It’s pretty awkward for him now that the country is coming together. He’s trying to find a flag to wrap himself in & play patriot. The last refuge of a scoundrel, the last time I checked.” #cdnpoli

The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.

When our working families are strong, Minnesota is strong. That’s why we’ve established paid leave, expanded the right to collectively bargain, and why we’re investing in the projects creating the union jobs of the future. Happy Labor Day, Minnesota.

Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
