.@velshi.com āHead in the sandā? Please. Part of the problem is limp news coverage that turns every Dem wobble into a five-alarm fire while treating GOP extremism as background noise. Thatās what depresses our base.
One small example of how RFK, Jr will harm Americans Iāve represented hundreds of clients in a system which requires prior approval of medical procedures Itās often used as a cudgel to delay-or completely deny-treatment Itāll be worse if run by AI Makes the concept of ādeath panelsā seem quaint
If you enjoyā¦ Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays ā¦ then youāre part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTEā¦ Itās not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trumpās federal invasion. Iām not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
Seeing much debate over Trumpās latest remarks on covid and RFK Jr Some relevant reporting Yesterday: Steve Bannon told WaPo (left) that he wanted Trump to post asap on TruthSocial, and his admin to push on vaccine data Today: Trump posts a TruthSocial (right), demanding more covid vaccine data
Prop 50 is about defending democracy. Republicans already stole seats in Texas without voters having any say. California is doing it differently: we get a one-time shot to fight back, then it reverts to our independent redistricting commission.

If youāre enjoying a long Labor Day weekend, thank organized labor and consider that the GOP is neutering OSHA, putting kids to work, and rolling back paid sick leave as part of its multi-pronged, systematic attack on working people and the poor.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control theyāve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But weāre denying Venezuelanās asylum claims who fled for their lives. š¤

And every blue State should follow suit!
Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.

The acting head of the CDC is a tech bro with no medical training who embraced Covid conspiracy theories. Talk about malpractice.
Federal agents detained two firefighters in Washington state... ...while the firefighters were in the middle of fighting one of the largest wildfires in the country. Under Trumpās regime, cruelty takes precedence over everything else.
Their eagerness to look at *anything* other that what *really* causes this nationās problem with mass shootings (hint: GUNS!) would be comical if it werenāt so dishonest, bigoted, and led to more deaths.
So many adults have to fail a child before he ends up 10 years old telling CNN about the mass shooting he lived through this morning

Shuler: Every year, we think about a word that captures the state of the unions at that momentāstrong, rising, whatever it may be. But this year, thereās only one possible answer: The state of the unionsāthe state of working people in this countryāis under attack.

šØBREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!
California voters are leaning YES on the redistricting ballot. 48% in favor, only 32% opposed. People get it. The narrative is on our side. Remember: CA puts it to the voters. Texas skipped the people. Ours is a one-time fightback that returns to the commission. Texasā gerrymandering is permanent.
PLEASE Make America GAVIN Again! #ONEV1 #Pinks šø #Voices4Victory
So Donald Trump tells Texas to gerrymander their districts to get him five more seats but when California does the same thing Trump's going to sue them. This is where hypocrisy is blatant. He has to be stopped. I support California!
Kristi Noem on Newsmax makes a great case for people with immigration court hearings to opt to skip them
Looks like he has an identity crisis.

I haven't seen it emphasized enough, but it's important to take a step back from Trump's ongoing seizure of autocratic power to see it's all emergency politics. All of it. The Constitution is being suspended bit by bit the same way autocrats have always eliminated them: declaring fake emergencies.
On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines. I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, itās up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while itās still possible.
I wonder what Ivanka thinks of her daddy now? Hum, she seems to be staying far away from him. Or an I imagining it.

If you have a big Democratic voice and youāre not using it to CONSISTENTLY AND LOUDLY, belittle, berate and trash Donald Trumpā¦youāre wasting that power. If youāre afraid of pushback, or being untraditional ā¦you need to step aside. This is fight time, not fold time.
If you burn an American flag, you get a year in jail. If you attack a Capitol police officer with an American flag, you get a pardon.

Gavin Newsom is turning Trump into a punchlineāand showing Democrats how to dismantle his entire playbook.
This guy, I swear.
Burn an American flag, one year in jail, but beat cops with flag poles, trash the US Capitol or threaten to harm members of Congress, even when itās to hang the VP, get a FULL PARDON. This is ridiculously un-American. MAGA: Make America Go Authoritarian apple.news/A0HRpE7I6TOO...
If Trump wants to throw the book at people who commit āviolent crimeā while desecrating the American flag, why did he pardon people who on Jan. 6, 2021 violently assaulted our cops with American flags-on-poles, calling them heroes and rewarding their bloody flag desecration?
Say what you want about Gavin Newsom, but heās the first politician Iāve seen take on Trump and not faceplant. Democrat or Republican, nobody else has pulled that off.

How Can a Convicted Trafficker Suddenly āExonerateā Trump?

He looks like he has no soul, he talks like he has no soul. I'm convinced he has no soul. He is a very miserable person.
What a miserable person.
We can come up with: $2MIL to turn the Rose Garden into a Fuddruckers. $200MIL for a ballroom. $1BIL to upgrade an airplane Quatar couldnāt sell. $450MIL (so far) for golf trips. $2BIL to paint a few 100 miles of border wall. Yet kids with cancer must stop being so needy.
āThere is no Epstein listā - Ghislaine Maxwell Well Ghislaine, when you take all the rich and powerful people who regularly spent time with Epstein on his island, planes, boats parties etc and write them all down on a piece of paperā¦ Thatās the Epstein list. Hope this helps.
Boltonās home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towardsā¦despotism. Does anyone think theyāre doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

Using threats of violence to gain power. Targeting political enemies. Undermining the free press. Pumping huge sums of money into the police state. Just a few months into his second term, Donald Trump is already following the dictator's playbook to a tee.

The DOJ releases Maxwell audio and transcripts. I have a suggestion: listen to the number of times she says, "...I believe..." It's one of the primary perjury busting tools around. Right up there with, "I can't recall," or "To the best of my memory."
