BREAKING: Trump announces that Rudy Giuliani will be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Note that Giuliani has been charged with felonies in two different states, including racketeering and has been found liable for over $100 million in damages.
Thank you on this labor day!!
Missouri’s governor signed a law this spring for the state to grab control of St. Louis Police, returning the city to a Civil War-era arrangement. A local official calls the move "a clear gesture of white men wanting to control urban areas."

Unprecedented corruption - 1500x what Hunter Biden made from his paintings and going directly to the president.

Trump & Kennedy, instead of attacking diseases are attacking the scientists who keep us safe, exactly what anyone who watched Trump’s performance during Covid, is familiar with Kennedy’s anti-science views, or read Project 2025 could have anticipated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/h...

Critics of Andrew Bailey, Trump's pick to help run the FBI, say the Missouri AG got the attention of the White House by following Trump’s tactic of targeting political opponents. “What better way to show loyalty than to do exactly what Trump wants,” one said. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Yet another GOP lawmaker was blasted by his own constituents for supporting President Trump’s agenda. This time, it was Barry Moore of Alabama, a U.S. representative and Senate candidate. He slipped out the back door as the audience chanted, “Shame!” trib.al/lVT3W8n

It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite
A few people had questions of some of the states on my map such as NY/CA/IL moving up in risk for trans youth. If a state has moved up in risk, it's because of clinic closures at major clinics. I cannot in good faith keep a state low risk if state laws are not being enforced to keep clinics open.
DEVELOPING: ICE agents in Los Angeles are nothing but state-sanctioned thugs. One sprinted from behind a fence, tackled a protester, and the pack unloaded on bystanders with “less lethal” rounds. Then they dragged him across 4 lanes of traffic like prey. This is organized brutality.
Right? 🎯
The irony/idiocy of this banner screaming "American Workers First" is that Trump has forced more than 199,000 federal workers out of their jobs since Jan. Nearly 1 in 10 federal workers gone. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
After banning visas for Palestinian children seeking medical care, the Trump administration is now banning any Palestinian passport holders from entering the United States. Extraordinary bigotry being converted into US policy. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...

Trump and his family have made over $3.4 BILLION while in office. We’ve never seen profiteering at this scale – not even close. While costs rise for Americans, Trump is using the White House to rake in as much money for himself as possible.
The month of August 2025 may go down as the worst in the history of the US Health and Human Services Department. It’s against this chaos that Democrats are demanding that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be removed from his post as the nation’s top public health official.

A Florida Judge tried to strip me of my law license after I objected to ICE fascism As major law firms capitulate to Trump & offer up $100M in free legal services to appease him—I am refusing to bend the knee to intimidation & instead speaking out publicly. qasimrashid.substack.com/p/a-florida-...
absolutely incredible statement
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
NBC: Kristi Noem confirms plan to expand ICE operations in major cities, including Chicago. Trump isn't cracking down on crime, he's conducting an ethnic cleansing by seizing control of state governments. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
One small example of how RFK, Jr will harm Americans I’ve represented hundreds of clients in a system which requires prior approval of medical procedures It’s often used as a cudgel to delay-or completely deny-treatment It’ll be worse if run by AI Makes the concept of “death panels” seem quaint

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.

JUST IN: Judge Sooknanan ordered the government to file a status report by 4 pm to address whether the children have been deplaned. DOJ blew the deadline. Now she orders them to show cause why they didn’t file the report in time — and sets new 6:30 pm deadline.

Right now in Michigan, we’re in the middle of a budget showdown. The Republican Speaker of the House slipped a provision into the budget that would kneecap our Attorney General – and make it near-impossible for us to take the Trump Administration to court.
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.

In Utah, judges consistently let rapists off without prison time. Candon Dean Dahle raped a little girl for 5 years when she was 7-12 years old. The judge decided to suspend a prison sentence & instead sentence Dahle to probation. Utah judges & lawmakers protect predators. #Pinks
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
Damn, Florida really out there banning public art like a 90's cartoon villain
"That’s nearly a quarter of a billion dollars of taxpayer money, at least, that may as well have been burned to ashes. In fact, Ron DeSantis and his enablers actually would have done a lot less harm—to people, to the environment, to the rule of law—if they had simply set the cash on fire." #Florida
