Were you to ask Leavitt etc, they would identify themselves as patriots whose beliefs rest on the country’s foundation. But with their talk of demons and evil, they are framing reality in a way that would justify Donald Trump’s campaign for fascist power. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/tragedy-br...

Steven Colbert and his wife appeared in the crowd at the Alcaraz match, and the arena went wild when his face hit the screen. People clearly adore him—and honestly, seeing that joy gave me a surge of hope.
Opinion: Zohran Mamdani will make New York City work for workers As unions that represent nearly 400,000 workers across the city, we’ve proudly united behind Mamdani’s agenda to build a city where workers can truly thrive. www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...
It’s time to tell the truth. It’s time to call a thing a thing. We have a rogue President who has violated 249 years of Democratic guardrails set by the Founders. I broke it all the way down on @weeknightmsnbc Authoritarianism is here. And we must stop it now. #LaborDay

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
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."

Pope Leo: “To welcome,” means “making space for the other in one’s heart, in one’s life, offering time, listening, support, prayer. It is the attitude of looking into the eyes, of shaking hands, of stooping down, so dear to Pope Francis.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.

Trump’s only focus right now is midterm voter suppression via illegal national voter ID mandate, redistricting in favor of more red house seats & removing ballot boxes and mail-in ballots. He’s terrified of being shellacked come 2026, and imprisoned come 2029.

On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.
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.

JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."

Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built America’s middle class.

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.
