Nate is indeed an idiot. Terrible, truly awful at polling and surveys. All pol sci stats folks cringe every time he talks. He is one of those bros who couldn't handle grad school, so went into gambling & baseball betting to build his "career" Do not listen to Nate, ever.
Important win & keep the pressure and responsibility on #Miller A red hot spotlight needs to be on #Miller, much like was done with Musk. Do not let up and hold him accountable for what he is ordering. @indivisible.org
‼️ Attention 👇‼️ It will be interesting to see how #Miller responds through Trump at the press conference today.
“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
NEW: This weekend in Trump's effort to make fascism happen. The Trump administration tried to illegally send children to Guatemala as troops walked aimlessly around Dupont Circle. This evening, at Law Dork:
Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
Important read 👇
In the midst of the Labor Day weekend, the Trump administration continued trying to make Donald Trump’s fascism happen. What I saw in response, though, was heartening — on multiple fronts. Tonight, at Law Dork:
NEW: Nadler will not seek re-election, citing the need for a new generation of leaders. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/n...
Seems like as good a time as any to reshare my story on the Coffee County voting system breach, which details the key role Giuliani played in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...
And don’t miss my follow up piece, which contains additional reporting on Giuliani’s role. Among other consequences of the 2024 election, one is that we’ll probably never learn the truth about the nature & extent of his involvement in the Coffee County breach. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...
Nobody is talking about this, but Casey Means was nominated as surgeon general on and referred to the Senate HELP Committee on June 2. As of July 31, the committee has not advanced her nomination due to missing paperwork. The Surgeon General has to have a medical license, which she does not have.
Wow !!! Look 👀 at that crowd!!! #Maine let’s go !!!
Thank you on this labor day!!
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
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.
Terrifying & true 👇👇
This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.
Worth noting.
“Black women are the canaries in the coal mine, the exclusion happens to them first ... And if any other cohort thinks it’s not coming for them, they’re wrong. This is a warning, and it’s a stark one." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...
Chicago is a city of neighborhoods -- we stand strong together! On Labor Day, soooo many of our neighbors turned out to support workers, unions, democracy, and freedom from military occupation in Chicago. #WorkersOverBillionaires
Thanks
today is a good day to repost this
This is very good news. BUT, as we saw this year when NIH was operating under a flat budget, Trump and Russell Vought can effectively destroy NIH even if Congress holds the budget flat. To stop Vought and make sure NIH can function, Congress must go much further than “no cuts to budget.” 1/
Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
Hundreds gathered at a Chicago pro-labor demonstration and slammed Trump’s plan to send federal immigration agents and potentially National Guard troops to the city. The protest is a part of a series expected to stretch throughout the country.

Illinois is now the number one state in the Midwest to work in. This ranking reflects our work in making Illinois the best state in the nation to do business, raise a family, and thrive.

Chicago has always been a powerful part of the labor movement, and on Workers’ Labor Day, @chicagolabor.bsky.social will continue to fight for working people. Join us at the Haymarket Memorial at 11 a.m. CT for a march to say: workers over billionaires!
Why do we get Labor Day off? You can thank Chicago workers.
The Chicago Labor Day march is getting started. #WorkersDeserve

Happy Labor Day to the union workers who built America’s middle class.
Keep an 👀 here Removing children, trying to fly them out of country in the middle of the night, horrifying !! And they just keep making up their legal reasoning 👇👇
…The government’s argument seems crazy to me because, among other things, it suggests that 6 U.S.C. 279(b)(1)(H) displaces or overrides processes set out in statutes like the TVPRA bsky.app/profile/anna...
Appreciated the opportunity to join Dr. Ali Khan and @richbesser.bsky.social via @wsj.com to discuss recent changes to public health and what this means for health and preparedness @altcdc.altgov.info www.wsj.com/video/three-...
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...
Great discussion. Nice to listen to you both while weeding. You have built a great community of good people. Happy Labor Day all!
It appears that @wajali.bsky.social get bored on Saturdays and get together to annoy fascists. www.muellershewrote.com/p/president-...
*Even Reagan*—who set this country on the course whose nihilistic end point is in sight—respected norms for which Trump has no regard. Donald won’t take yes for an answer. He wants to destroy the Federal Reserve. I doubt even he really understands why. trib.al/EjVzaCB

Keep up the hard work Judge!!
MORE: Sparkle Sooknanan is still awake -- and she wants a fourth status report from DOJ. The judge orders the government to update her when all putative class members have been returned to ORR custody.
Thank you @mollyjongfast.bsky.social it was refreshing to see you hosting & speaking up for the survivors! 💙 @msnbc.com bring Molly back much more often!
POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
This part. 👇 They don’t play by the rules, they disrespect judges then judges hold them accountable & remind them of the #law
HHS & DOJ being the worst & judge not happy 👇👇
By the time DOJ files this status report, Judge Sooknanan will have been awake for nearly 20 hours.
They're moving in an ideological direction & want to see the undoing of vaccination. Daskalakis disagreed w/ changes to recommendations on who should get a new COVID-19 vaccine this fall, w/ new dosage creating confusion & uncertainty for those who want the latest shot. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
A political analyst on MSNBC erupted on Sunday over President Donald Trump's continued attacks against voting rights.

Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch has called SCOTUS the “Leo Court,” explaining that Trump “radically changed” the direction of SCOTUS by appointing (anti-abortion) justices “shepherded” by Leo, who he says is “one of the big supporters of the Napa Institute” (founded by Busch). 1/
@strictscrutiny.bsky.social Might be an interesting episode topic 👇👇
Hey my friends @umichlawlib.bsky.social & @uchicagolaw.bsky.social Time to show your talent & stand up to these not very smart bullies. 👇👇
Adore !
This public recognition of the horror & pain #Miller is inflicting is especially important ! Please more of this!!

Adore this!!!! #Vets!!!
They try this 🤬 on holiday & weekends all the time
Here's the complaint filed late last night. One of the named plaintiffs is as young as 10. Judge Sooknanan already entered a TRO to bar the removal of named plaintiffs, and a new TRO just hit the docket for the larger putative class. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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."
Terrifying !
We need to seriously consider going in this direction 👇👇
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.
Media should hound him at least half as much as they hounded Biden. But they won’t.

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
This 👇👇👇
Our news media are so broken. There's a way to challenge someone in an interview without looking like you're the press secretary for the other side. ABC's Martha Raddatz badly misses the mark. "Why fight with the president?" she asks.
FEMA whistleblowers warned: these cuts risk another Katrina-level disaster. Trump and his cronies didn’t fix the agency; instead, they punished the truth-tellers. Sign your support for the brave #FEMA employees who spoke out here 👉zurl.co/PgbMz zurl.co/VMgM8 #standupforscience
